This just isn't sitting right with me, and I think the doctor's old service (his nurse)  has been doing this wrong for awhile now.  I just took over this account and have been reviewing and comparing old notes with current dictation.


"The patient was injected with "a quarter percent" Marcaine and morphine."


She was typing this as 25% - It should be 0.25% shouldn't it.  I'm so tired right now I need to go to sleep, but have to turn this job in first.  Thanks for helping.  ME
