Not sure why it showed up with the box.  Maybe it happened because when I tried to send it I got a "software error," for some reason.  I wonder if others get that and are unable to send their message... ?

Subject: established patient who is s/l 25 and 5 7ths weeks of gestational age sm

The patient is not 25 years old but she dictates these numbers and I am unsure how to type it for it to make sense.  It sounds like she is saying, "patient is 25 and 5/7 weeks gestational age.  Do they dictate gestational age by the 7ths for days of the week?  Would you type it 25-5/7 week gestational age?
