    Subject: For future reference, have reports similar to this quite often. I do transcribe them verbatim, this way there is no finger pointing on what we as transcriptionists take as a "liberty" in interpretation.

    If it is ever in question, they can go back to the dictators original dictation (if available) and see that is what he/she said and they are directly responsible for the content of their reports.

    Hope this helps.

    Subject: the 6.8 is 6.8 thousand, WBC on CBC is known to be in thousands. sm

    I do have some docs who dictate it as "6800" and others who dictate it as "6.8 thousand" and others simply as "6.8."
    I know, from my education, that WBC on a CBC is in thousands. But i transcribe it however they dictate it.
    I can understand how an MT who "always did it" one way could have trouble typing it the other way when she knows it's technically correct either way.
