meds prescribed taken AC and HS see msg
Subject: meds prescribed taken AC and HS see msg
Suddenly Im very confused - I have always typed it as taken at q.h.s. but now the doc says to be taken AC and HS. Is this typed capital letters per my Abbreviations book or a.c. and h.s.? I have the same problem with a.m. and p.m. I assume there is a rule about this but not sure what the latest would be. This is a new doc and I normally do not type meds so I am rusted. Thanks in advance.

Zometa prescribed for insomnia?
Subject: Zometa prescribed for insomnia?
Sounds like they are stating either "Zometa" or "someta" to be prescribed for insomnia. I can't find anything on someta (or anything close to that spelling) and Zometa looks like it is for bone health and can cause insomnia but probably isn't prescribed to prevent insomnia. Any suggestions? Thanks!

New standard states:
Subject: New standard states:
And I quote: "Numerals, or figures, stand out from the surrounding text and serve a functional purpose in medical reports, where they should be used almost exclusively as opposed to spelled-out numbers.
Exceptions: Judgment and discretion are need when deciding but adjacent numbers require one to be spelled out to avoid confusion.
Use a comma to separate adjacent unrelated numerals if neither can be readily expressed in words and the sentence cannot be readily reworded.
Use numerals for fractions.
Spell out numbers that begin a sentence.
Zero is always spelled out when it stands alone.
Spell out numbers used as pronouns.
That should get you started!
