that type out zero if it stands alone gets me and
Subject: that type out zero if it stands alone gets me and

I truly don't think most orthopedists or chiropractors (both of which were my first fields 30 years ago) like zero alone when they are giving degrees of movement of a limb, i.e., 30 degrees of extension, 0 degrees of flexion, 10 degrees of abduction, and 0 degrees of adduction......I truly don't think they would want zero degrees in any part of that....just my *take*


If we were to follow the BOS2 statement about zeroes in this particular case above, I do believe the orthopedists and/or chiropractors would have a problem with that. 


Even in labs now, I DO type zero troponin for 0 troponin, but I don't think it looks very good when all other labs in same paragraph are numerical....


and let's think about urinalysis...... ..... zero red cells or 0 red cells


(they rarely do this - they will say 0-2 red cells and in that case, the zero is not standing alone and we can use 0 there but it's just more to think about.....because occasionally, if a patient has had hematuria, let's say.....the dictator might very well say:  There are zero red cells.)


just commenting and exercising my own concerns and/or opinions...

One thing--O2 is an O, not a zero. O stands for oxygen. sm
Subject: One thing--O2 is an O, not a zero. O stands for oxygen. sm

So, for #3, it would be either 4 liters of O2, or 4 L O2 (depending on your account specifics--check to see if you should subscript the 2). Make sure that is an O, not a 0. As far as typing F for temperature, check your account specifics. If they do want you to insert Fahrenheit, leave a space before it. If it is not dictated, it may be okay to leave it out. Again, account specifics prevail.
