What if they don't dictated "feet" or "inches", just 5 9?

Just put 5' 9" or my account has us write out the words, i.e. 5 feet 9 inches. Or just leave it exactly as he says it.

JVD Measurement
Jan 05, 2011

Thus far I have only had doctors refer to the JVD as flat or raised or sometimes at zero.  Tonight, this doc says "JVD is 0 to 9 degrees/90 degrees" [I think].  I have found a site that describes JVD measurements, and one of them is 90 degrees--but there is no "zero to" part. Now I am second guessing my thought about it being 0 to 90 degrees.  This doc is very sweet, but really mumbles the ends of his sentences. Anyone know about the JVD?? ...
