In reading the rest of this note, I have a feeling it is not *hallucis*, but since the rest of the note indicates hallux and foot care, I have a feeling he is saying halluxes, if that is even a word, as in plural hallux. It is a podiatry word, for sure. at least in my opinion. There are many hallux procedures, one of which is Youngwich procedure.

q. hour of sleep
Subject: q. hour of sleep
I e-mailed AAMT with this same question about a month ago. Their response to me was as follows:
"He may be dictating "hour of sleep" because he expects you to use the abbreviation h.s. However, this particular abbreviation is on the Dangerous Abbreviations List, and we are encouraged to transcribe this as either "nightly" or "at bedtime." If the dictator questions you about this, you can show him the appendix in your Book of Style or refer him to the Dangerous Abbreviations List under Patient Safety Goals on the JCAHO web site (www.jcaho.org)."

Regarding letter h (hour) per BOS...please sm
Letter h. (with a period) is the abbreviation for the Latin word hora, meaning hour.
q.6 h. (every 6 hours)
In instructions for medications, Latin abbreviations may be coupled with English terms, such as hour. These may be transcribed as dictated or the English translated to Latin.
every 4 hours or q.4 hours or q.4 h or q.4 h Copyright (c) 2002 American Association for Medical Transcription. So does this mean we can do the q.4 h without the period at the end of h, because I am constantly having to remove capital letters from words following the h with a period. Thanks.

Subject: 48-hour pH test completed and extensive *physiatry* to view the findings which demonstrated
She states that she is unable to eat, continues to lose weight, and is having bouts of vomiting. She did have her 48-hour pH test completed and extensive *physiatry* to view the findings which demonstrated that on the first night when she had vomited after her procedure, there were some episodes of breakthrough acid; however, the following day when she was tolerating a diet and had her AcipHex, her pH was well controlled, above a pH of 4, essentially the entire time. Therefore, I discussed with the patient that her chest burning does not appear to be correlated with breakthrough acid of any significant degree and suggests the possibility that a lot of her chest pain and burning may be related to her anxiety and depression.
