Subject: Is it 4-5 doses or 4 to 5 doses?

Quick question; I'm just getting back into the swing of things and I'm realizing my last employer really wasn't a stickler for anything.  Now I'm worried I'm gonna mess up at my new transcription job with something small.


The physician is saying "the patient is on 4 to 5 doses of" whatever drug.  Is it transcribed as 4-5, 4 to 5, four to five...?


Help plz!!


re: 4 to 5 doses
Subject: re: 4 to 5 doses

I would go with "4 to 5" as it is easier to read and cannot be confused with 4-5 as 45 doses.

Prentiss maneuver. I do think that's what the surgeon means, but I think he's making it up that the bands are called Prentiss. I saw other named bands, but not Prentiss. But for all we know it could be a doctor-speak that is gaining popularity. In other words, if it's clear, I'd give it to him.
