as they're paying for it. However, when I give answers here, I go by BOS as we all work for different clients. You're right, though, the client's preference prevails, right or wrong, or in-between.

I have been doing hem/onc for 7-1/2 years, and it seems as though every account I have worked on uses their own style, i.e., currently I work on M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and they want stage IA, IIB, IIIC, etc., written as stage I-A, II-B, III-C, etc., plus a few other things that are done differently than normal. The client is always right, so you have to be sure to follow their guidelines.

barring that, the AAMT has come out saying that "disk" is preferred over "disc" (for whatever that's worth), though both are still acceptable.
I've had some clients with a preference for "disc" with respect to the eyes, and "disk" when referring to the spine, but the vast majority (in my recent experience) have shown a preference for disk in all cases.

Apparently BOS states both ways. Ex. X-rays, 2 views, blah, blah, blah.. or X-rays, two views, blah, blah, blah.... Same would apply with 1st and first. I've had experiences where the client dictates which way they'd like it, and both are correct depending on which BOS you go by. Hope this helps.

I really think these are questions you should ask your employer, assuming this is work related. Style and rules can vary from company to company. Most will provide you with a list of rules or specs and sample reports. If they haven't, you might ask for that. When in doubt, I follow BOS guidelines, though.

You transcribe it as per your client's
Subject: You transcribe it as per your client's
wishes. If it is an obvious error I do correct. However, if it is a strict verbatim account, you transcribe it as dictated. Way back when, we were told to transcribe H&Ps and Consults in the present tense and DS & Ops in the past tense. However, with all the "new" rules and changes who knows anymore.
