    Doc says..also brings with her numerous labs including labs showing borderline....s/l DATA... levels. 


    She kind of stumbles over this and I could not find anything on DATA or data levels so I was going to flag it.  She then goes on to say....She tried oral...s/l DATA without success. 


    It is pretty clear the second time but I cannot find anything on this.  Is this correct and would it be all CAPS?


    Thanks.

    now "always"...before I offend someone else who has been told to type it with roman numerals.  Been doing this too long and have seen too many facilities/radiologists set their own rules on how they want it typed and it basically boils down to the fact that it's their report..they call the shots.

    roman versus arabic

    A good tip that I rcvd either here or on MTNetizens email group.....

    In oncology at least:
    Staging is in Roman numerals, and remember by reciting "The Romans are on the stage"....
    Hence stage III breast cancer, etcetera...
    Class, grade, etc, are with Arabic numerals...

    I cannot speak, though, for other specialties..
