Since he didn't say it as you did, does saying "larges" constitute shorthand in doctor speaking?
Thanks!

Dumb question...
Subject: Dumb question...
At the risk of sounding dumb, I need to ask this as it happens quite often. Math was always my worst subject in school... Dictation states pt is on a half mg of something. For example "spironolactone 12 and a half mg". I know they want me to type it as a decimal rather than writing out the words. Is the proper way to write this 12.5? (Does .5 equal a half mg?) Thanks!
