Dialysis bath help - saugust
Posted: Nov 24, 2010
I have an ESL doctor who's dictating dialysis bath solutions. (I've never done these before). He says 2 K, which I found no problem, but when I sent it to QA for some other blanks, it was corrected to 2 potassium.
Account info says to use abbreviations when dictated, even in the diagnosis/impression/assessment portions.
Is K the preferred transcription, or should I expand it? Our QA is known to change correct transcription to incorrect. Don't blast me on that. I've done QA with this company before. They don't necessarily put the most knowledgeable MTs on QA. It seems to be whomever agrees to do it.
I have always heard it dictated as a **K bath and that - is what we type. NM

Hyphenate "dialysis-dependent" If No Noun After?
Oct 25, 2011
I know that "dialysis-dependent" requires the hyphen if a noun follows the phrase as in, "The dialysis-dependent patient..." However, would the hyphen be appropriate in this phrase if a noun did NOT follow it as in "This is an 81-year-old woman with diabetes who is dialysis-dependent."? Would this be considered a noun + adjective, thus requiring the hyphen? ...
