 I know this has been asked 100 times, but i would like some clarification advise from anyone willing to give it!! Medrol Dosepak is a brand name and should be typed as such; however, i see so many times MTs typing Dosepak on things like prednisone and Sterapred. I cannot verify that anything other than Medrol should be Dosepak but is there some sort of unwritten rule i missed??? Help!! Any and all advise is appreciated.

Proper way to type height measurements
Subject: Proper way to type height measurements
What is the correct way to type height measurements. For example, doctor says "5 foot 1 inch". Normally when the number is pleural, it should be "feet", but the doctors always say "foot". Also, is there a comma between the foot and inches. Such as, "5 foot, 1 inch"? TIA

It would be either "He is a two-pack-a-day smoker" or "He is a two-pack-per-day smoker.

Hard 25 of Solu-Medrol
Subject: Hard 25 of Solu-Medrol
Hi, everyone.
I'm transcribing a report in which the doc says "Patient had a hard 25 of Solu-Medrol." At least I think that's what she said. Has anyone heard of this construction used before? I have no background info on this since it's an addendum to a report dictated earlier.
Sorry I don't have more info.
Thanks.

Proper grammer is "the patient looks good" unless the dictator is describing whether the patient looks sick or not, then obviously the patient looks well.
