 But he just says pc.  The patient is on a lot of narcotics already for his pain, and with the surgery, it makes sense that this is what he means.
 
 I just wondered if anyone had ever heard it said this way.  My only other thought was he meant IV penicillin.
 
 Thanks.

 the rule is ....
 Subject: the rule is ....
 
 ... x2  ....2 times
 
 If the "times" comes before the number use the x (no space).  If the "times" comes after use the word.

 Subject: don't know if there is a rule but....
 
 
   
 I think if you would substitute "bilateral"  (mentally)  and say  "both" you might have a better idea how to say it.   Like would it sound better iff you said "both hand"  or "both hands."   To me bilateral hands sounds better.  But again, I don't know if there is actually a rule.  I looked for an answer in "style Guide for Medical Transcription" (Tessier and Pitman) and couldn't find an answer.     
 I think if you wrote what the doctor said ....you can't go wrong there either.  Good luck!.     What is the rule now for cc?
 Subject: What is the rule now for cc?
 
 
 should we put mL or what the doc says as cc?  I got so beat up over this one time with a different company I worked for; however, I am with a wonderful new company and want to make sure I am typing it correctly.

 to para or not to para, that is the question..... okay, so that was dumb, but so many words are not actually in the dictionary.... is there a rule regarding when to use peri as opposed to para ??? sometimes I'm confused. As a rule yes, but not always
 Subject: As a rule yes, but not always
 
 
 I find way too many exceptions to that rule so I always look them all up the first time and add them to my ever-growing list.  I wish there was a list out there somewhere with most of them already catagorized for us.   cannot rule out?
 Subject: cannot rule out?
