Cranial nerves
Subject: Cranial nerves

I know that cranial nerves are counted in Roman numerals, II-XII.  When the doctor dictates the number first, though, how do we type it?  7th nerve?  Seventh nerve?  Is there a standard.  I don't have access to the handbook.  Thanks!

Subject: I never said that I transcribed that word ~ I only mentioned that the doctor (sm)

spelled it that way (I always left a blank in the report ~ he would always "write" it in when he got the report back). This was many, many years ago when I worked in-house. I honestly thought it was a "made-up" word as he was the only doctor who used it (I have never heard it used since), so I was surprised to hear of somebody else stumbling onto the same word (or something similar). By no means did I intend to mean that that was the "correct" spelling or that I used that word ~ I apologize if that is how my message was read. :)
