When transcribing oncology reports, does it matter how you spell out the cycles, such as:  The patient has received 2 cycles of chemo.   Or, is two cycles of chemo.  Or ..... does it matter?

The expression is "I'm at a loss" not "lost." And it should read "Mother deceased at age 71" not "decease." These just might be typos as you're probably in a hurry, but I wanted to be sure you were aware just in case.

In this case, no.
Subject: In this case, no.

The dictator in your example is not giving a specific clinic; the word "a" or "the" is understood.

You will often hear "The patient was seen by Oncology," or "...when Cardiology evaluated the patient." A good rule of thumb is: If you can substitute "Bob," then you DO capitalize. "The patient was seen by Bob." Yes. "The patient was seen by the cardiology service," -- "The patient was seen by the Bob..." No. Get it?

Of course, in MT every rule was made to be broken. This is a rule of thumb, but it always depends on what your hospital's or clinic's guidelines.

It is named after Augustus V. Waller.  The word wallerian is not a proper noun.  It's the same principle as applied to Parkinson disease when the dictator says "parkinsonism". 


I've seen a lot of text books and word books that have wrong spellings in them.

When I got to the exam, she only weighs 111 lbs, so that makes me even more concerned that he just got lazy and just said "5" because he definitely didn't say 0.5 or even .5, it was just 5. I hesitate on questioning things that could be borderline, I always worry about them getting huffy if I dare to suggest they might have said something wrong, especially if what they said was what they meant, but then I think, I work at home in another state and wouldn't know him from a hole in the ground, what's he going to do, come to my house?!?!?

No 0's.  Could be mistaken for 20 x 20 x 40, for example.  That is probably why the doc is dictating 2 x 2 x 4, etc.
