Subject: white cell count 8.6 thousand; how to write...
Dictator says "white cell count 8.6 thousand." Do I write it 8.6000 or...?
the 6.8 is 6.8 thousand, WBC on CBC is known to be in thousands. sm
Subject: the 6.8 is 6.8 thousand, WBC on CBC is known to be in thousands. sm
I do have some docs who dictate it as "6800" and others who dictate it as "6.8 thousand" and others simply as "6.8."
I know, from my education, that WBC on a CBC is in thousands. But i transcribe it however they dictate it.
I can understand how an MT who "always did it" one way could have trouble typing it the other way when she knows it's technically correct either way.
