symbols
Subject: symbols

If you can't find one of those, this is what I did. I got the correct symbol from the internet on a page, saved it, added to the spellchecker (after spellchecking that page) and then it adds in, so if you type V dot it will expand to the correct form. If you can't get it or save it from the net or it is in a book you have, scan it in, convert the file, then do the same (spellcheck it with the symbol on it and add it to your dictionary that way) and then type the "long version" as your phrase and it will expand right. Long way around, but it works when you can't find another way.

I thought we were supposed to use mL instead of SM
Subject: I thought we were supposed to use mL instead of SM

cc.  I have the latest BOS and BOS workbook and I'm still confused. 


My account has a few doctors whose work is automatically sent to QA.  I thought we were no longer supposed to use cc and change it to mL.  I had  marked as error when I changed doctor stated cc to mL.  I then asked one of the mentors on my account and she stated mL is used for what goes into the patient, IV, blood products, etc., and cc is used for what comes out of the patient, urine etc. 


Is there any consensus on this?  I trust all of you here.
