Weight
Subject: Weight

His weight is stable at 42 3/4 pounds or 42-3/4 pounds?  I am not sure if there should be a hyphen.

If the weight is 7-1/2 pounds, should it be typed 7.5 pounds?

How do you write weight 61 1/4 kg?  Is this right or 61.25 kg or 61-1/4 kg.  Just not sure.

"She was seen in the emergency room on Thursday for severe headache and possible preictal aura.  She had a brain CT that was unremarkable per report which patient S/L: HAN-DE-LE-RIS today.  Also was given Ativan and Toradol."


I thought maybe "handed to us", but it just doesn't sound like that - at any speed.  If anyone has an idea of what this might be, I would be most appreciative!!  Thanks in advance.


 


Still at a loss
Subject: Still at a loss

It still makes no sense to me ~ if she was already on Flagyl, how could she be switched?  Neither of the drugs you listed (or variations thereof) exist.  There are many antibiotics that sound very similar.  See if you can slow the voice way down.
weight bearing
Subject: weight bearing

how about non weight-bearing?  How would you appropriately punctuate/hyphenate that one?
non weight bearing
Subject: non weight bearing

proper way would be nonweight-bearing but you can also type it as non-weight-bearing.  In the medical dictionary - weight-bearing, therefore, nonweight-bearing.

Subject: is it weightbear or weight bear?

It's the end of the day and I cannot remember if it is "weightbear" or "weight bear" as in "The patient may weightbear/weight bear as tolerated."


I tried to look it up online and found it both ways...  I know it is weightbearing...


My eyes are starting to cross and it looks funny either way!
