Multiple 6-0 s/l fullon sutures

I am used to hearing "two oh pds sutures" and transcribing "2-0 PDS sutures." Now I have heard two different docs say, "two point oh pds sutures." I am wondering if this is another type of suture.

I have five accounts that I currently work on - three are considered my "primaries" and two are "secondaries". Does this seem like a lot or is it just me?

I work for an MTSO and have been given 4 accounts. After my first one ran out of work they gave me another, and then when that one ran out they gave me another and so on and so forth. My primary and secondary accounts I like, they are basically sister hospitals and are pretty similar. My fourth account is very large and always has work and is a totally different type of hospital, but I like the work and the packet the QA people sent me is very informative and easy to find what you need. However ...

I was just wondering from anyone who has taken the CCS exam recently, is the whole exam multiple choice? I ask because I am taking the Andrews course and using the AHIMA-published workbooks and they are all multiple choice. I use a different skill set when doing these questions, work my way backward with deductive reasoning, reading the question and looking up each answer, eliminating the wrong ones. This seems faster to me and I want to work as fast as I can on the test. ...
