Depends on client - Annie
[ In Reply To ..]If it is a verbatim account, then we type 7.6 thousand
If the client does not have a preference, then BOS 3 states:
EXAMPLE
D: Platelet counts were 300 to 450 thousand
T: Platelet counts were 300,000-450,000
So, by that standard, it would be 7,600
7.6 thousand - deenibeeni
[ In Reply To ..]It would be 7600, not 7,600, if your client wants this transcribed this way.
Note that 7.6000 is the same as 7.6, so if you transcribed this way you'd be off by a factor of 1000.
We use 7.6 in that situation (means 7600- no comma). - NM
