That cannot be. Don't think I'll be changing my ways anytime soon. Your reference book really says that? So, a patient would be gravida X, para IX, AB VIII? Absolutely no way.

I learned 27 years ago to use q.4h. (no spaces), past few years q.4 h. (see msg)
Subject: I learned 27 years ago to use q.4h. (no spaces), past few years q.4 h. (see msg)
Now some are saying it's q. 4h.?? UGH, YUCK!! I have also worked on accounts where it had to be "every 4 hours," and we had to spell out p.r.n. (as needed for). At least we got more characters.
First rule: It is all what the "client/account" wants, not always what the BOS says it is. I realize that language and its usage is constantly changing, but I've seen so many BOS and client flip-flops on so many other things in nearly 3 decades that it's laughable. What isn't laughable is when we get penalized for not knowing what they want, even when they, themselves, don't know or are wrong.
Oh, and I still prefer the old no spaces: q.4h., q.4-6h., q.12h., and so on.....

Subject: Wow, thank you. Just years, years and more years of experience
and a constant thirst for learning something new everyday. As we all know this can get to be somewhat boring, but learning from what I transcribe as well as from other transcriptionists keeps me going (money is not bad either). It becomes a challenge. But I can't thank you enough for the kind words.

However, you will see a variation on the typing of BIRADS depending on who you are typing it for. The copyright lists it as BI-RADS, federal guidlines are supposed to dictate how it is typed but have worked for numerous centers that type it anywhere from BIRADS to BI-RADS to BiRADS. Categories however should always be arabic (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 0)
