Subject: question on name order

This is probably a stupid question, but I have seen this both ways and am not sure which is right.  If the patient is a doctor I have seen the name written as LAST, First, M.D. or LAST, M.D., First.  I have also seen LAST, Dr. First.  Can anyone tell me which way is the best?

I learned 27 years ago to use q.4h. (no spaces), past few years q.4 h. (see msg)
Subject: I learned 27 years ago to use q.4h. (no spaces), past few years q.4 h. (see msg)

Now some are saying it's q. 4h.??  UGH, YUCK!!  I have also worked on accounts where it had to be "every 4 hours," and we had to spell out p.r.n. (as needed for).  At least we got more characters. 


First rule:  It is all what the "client/account" wants, not always what the BOS says it is.  I realize that language and its usage is constantly changing, but I've seen so many BOS and client flip-flops on so many other things in nearly 3 decades that it's laughable.  What isn't laughable is when we get penalized for not knowing what they want, even when they, themselves, don't know or are wrong.


Oh, and I still prefer the old no spaces:  q.4h., q.4-6h., q.12h., and so on.....
