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.

Was this for delivery of a baby?
Subject: Was this for delivery of a baby?

I found several references on googling to torticollis and hemorrhage, either SCM or intracranial, etc., from traumatic/difficult deliveries. I also found a reference to a type of shaken-baby syndrome where they had been playing and tossing the baby in the air. Too late, I'm sure, but just thought I'd throw this in for the heck of it. It's another exciting night here...so studying the word board :-)

Subject: Or the baby might have been laterally positioned. (sm)

That's how I was. My twin sister was positioned correctly, so they delivered her first, then turned me externally. Mom was asleep for the delivery (back in 1963), and I guess she woke up with pain and bruising from it. She says it was a big deal; they had her sign so all the students could watch. No privacy for my delivery!
