If they don't, I would change the tense to whatever is the norm for that account or that doctor.
If they do require verbatim, I would type it verbatim but let the QA preson know that the doctor had shifted tenses.
But that's just me....

starting as independent contractor/need help!
Subject: starting as independent contractor/need help!
I'm going to be able to return to work very part time since my disability is getting a bit better. I have an offer to work as an independent contractor, probably not making more than 12 grand per year.
This will be my first time being a contractor and I'm boggled after reading the IRS info on the site. Do I need to file for a taxpayer ID# or can I just use my Social Security number? I think I can wade through paying the taxes, etc, but may have an accountant do this initially.
Thank's in advance, Becca.
