Dictated:  heart rate in the "1 teens to 120s" How do I write 1 teens?  If I write 110s is that correct since the teens don't start till 13?  Why can't they just keep it stupid simple?

Is there such a thing as "rest rate" temperature or "respirator" temperature?? 
vital signs
Subject: vital signs

When a doctor dictates the vital signs with only the values and no headings, does anyone fill in headings or do you just give them what they dictated.  For example, they say VITAL SIGNS:  110/80, 72, 20, 97.9.

Subject: No they are three separate views.

No they are 3 separate views.
It is the sentence structure that is confusing. Three individual views, but once the word views gets put into the sentence it becomes plural and without the word views it is regarded as singular. I don't necessarily agree, but I believe this is why the QA department and your manager keep changing your grammar.

When it is really prothrombin time, it makes NO sense to type pro time as 2 words....I really don't care what BOS says about this one particular issue.  The word really is prothrombin time and MDs say protime....I give them protime.  Just my take on it.
