I need opinion on something from AAMT regarding style... - Pokey
- I'm testing right now, and I hope they aren't counting off for spelling out numbers. (sm) - I know!
- Thanks for the quick responses!! - Pokey
- Not here - Melissa
- Client preference here. nm :) - Just me
- Regarding AAMT rules - psychMT
- it's arabic numbers today, no spelling out.... - we are all following BOS pretty much...nm
  - That's interesting 'cause the 3 companies I work for still spell out 1-10. - My 2 cents worth.
    - that's right and that's why there is a huge lack - of consistency!!!............N/M

Believe it or not, after 20 years of this business this is totally new to me, first time I'm seeing it. It's being dictated quite often as a routine test in the ER and my books just did not have it and I couldn't find it in my abbreviation book or online.

Thanks for all the responses.

I did end up marking it for editing, but it should be interesting to find out what she said!

Subject: Thanks for the responses

I ended up asking my boss and she said to do it DOE, M.D., John. It was interesting seeing the other responses though. I kind of prefer the look of DOE, John, M.D. for some reason but I see the logic of the other way. Anyway, I guess it comes down to preference. Thanks again!

Thanks for all of your responses.

I guess I just have to deal with this little bump in the road for this one doc. The others I do not have to listen so loud. Fortunately, I have some cool headphones that are very easy to just grab hold of the bottom around my chin, and pull down ever so slightly. Oh, what we go through to keep them happy! Love these guys though, they are so easy to get along with! This is an older gentleman anyway that his voice goes up and down, but I can say he blew his nose (which I am very used to, been there, done that), but hubby had to peel me off the ceiling. It was like mid sentence.... HONK!!! HONK!!!!, wheweee..... gotta luv 'em.....

He was very clear and did say pound. I also thought it sounded a bit much and wondered if anyone else had ever heard it. The patient had a rash all over her body, so he may have prescribed that large amount for that reason.

I have had to deal with rude respones, if people are going to respond rudely, I agree with you, just don't bother. I work for an ENT and have never heard the word you were looking for.

Thank you all for the responses. My current job has converted to doing VR. There is no incentive program and we don't do line counting, so I have no idea what exactly my line rate would be. I'm considering becoming an employee to a transcription service but IC is not out of the question for me. I wonder if being an IC on a part-time basis may help gauge where I fall in my line count.

In reading the rest of this note, I have a feeling it is not *hallucis*, but since the rest of the note indicates hallux and foot care, I have a feeling he is saying halluxes, if that is even a word, as in plural hallux. It is a podiatry word, for sure. at least in my opinion. There are many hallux procedures, one of which is Youngwich procedure.
