Percentages - itype2

[ In Reply To ..]
I think the preferred way is 5% to 10% with a percentage sign after each number. One of the radiologists I transcribe for corrected me on that years ago and I have never forgotten it.

I agree - ♥

How Is This For Percentages?
Jan 09, 2014

I was curious so when my least favorite dictator came up a little while ago, I decided to count how many errors in her report. It was an approximately 8 minute report, approximately 89 lines. There were 35 errors. These were not all one word errors. There were dates wrong, vitals wrong, of course medication list was a mess as usual. I did even take the time to look at another report to look for an allergic med I didn't understand. The med she mentioned was not on the list on the old ...
