Is he saying "CBC, MSP, and stool" because stool is not a test so just wondering if it could be the name of a stool test. If you state just how the whole sentence is dictated, it may help us figure it out for ya.

Good says it stands for keep-open-vein. So, it should fit, and it also is all CAPs.
Usually if they dictate Seldinger...
Subject: Usually if they dictate Seldinger...
they will say "via Seldinger, or Seldinger technique." I don't believe they would do this en route either. Are you sure you are hearing "sandwich?" I have been transcribing ER reports for years and I have never heard this term used. Anyway, I would not guess on this one. IMO, it is better to leave it blank and have QA inform you later so you can keep it on file .

like a poke in the eye to me!!! Brings me to a screeching halt. I just tend to ignore them, in a report, especially if it is a resident. I do puncturate letters and memos, but half the commas I see people use on this board and other boards are totally not necessary. Just call me

and google is NOT the authority on when to use which word. You can find errors all over the internet and I don't consider google a research tool unless it takes me to a manufacturer web site so I can find a copyrighted spelling.
A good dictionary and solid reference materials are needed. Additionally, the OP did not say the client wanted it one way or another so your bringing that into the equation makes you look as though you are trying to justify what you do, and I really do not care what you do. You are only trying to deflect the direction of the discussion to one in which you _win_ and you try to make me _lose_. The people here who lose are the ones who still don't know the CORRECT usage of the 2 words.
I stand my ground. The OP still does not know definitively how to use these 2 words based on this thread. And you can huff and puff and try to blow my house down but you still don't _win_.

Subject: That's what I mean by "ask your QA!" Account specifics dictate style, sm
but the AAMT BOS dictates what is correct for the industry, getting its information from sources such as the Chicago Manual of Style, the American Medical Association book of style (which I own), etc. As the poster below states, Joint Commission goes by BOS and does not like "same" or abbreviations for diagnoses, impressions, op titles, etc. They will randomly choose patient charts and go through them to check things like this! It's the Joint Commission which recommends or removes hospital accreditations--a very powerful entity.
So, ask your QA what the account wants. If they want "same," give them "same." For other accounts, do it the correct way.
