if it's an outpatient clinic possible that they are making the patient stay 40 minutes after the injection to make sure there are no adverse reactions.
I'm working on a new account and one dictator always says "the patient is a xx-year-young male/female." Would you leave as dictated or change to xx-year-old? I have been changing it but just wanted to make sure this was right and I don't get dinged on QA. TIA! ...
Doctor says: "She is carrying about 12 to 15 thousand dollars in credit card debt." Do I put it $12 to $15 thousand, $12,000 or $15,000 or as above? Thanks. ...
