How to transcribe 1-2 over 6 systolic murmur - Debbie

Posted: Dec 07, 2013

Can someone tell me the correct way to transcribe 1-2 over 6 systolic murmur??? Is it correct to put 1/6 to 2/6 or 1-2/6. Thanks in advance.

Transcribe 1 to 2 over 6. Clear and easy to read. Don't use 1-2/6.

I respectfully disagree. I would transcribe 1-2/6 - nm

BOS III says - ICManiac

D: grade 4 to 5 over 6 murmur
T: grade 4 to 5 over 6 murmur
or
grade 4/6 to 5/6 murmur
not grade 4-5/6 murmur

BOS is full of... well, you know. It depends on - the client, & mine says 4-5/6 murmur.

1-2/6 has NEVER been correct, going back to 1972 - L&L

when I started doing this. And with a math degree, 1-2/6 means something else entirely.

I have to agree - looks like a fraction at first glance. - sm

I would type 1 to 2 over 6. no mistaking that for anything else.

Just to completely muddy the waters, my boss says - 1 to 2/6

It's all about what your client/boss wants. Is that addressed at all in your account specs?

Personally, I wouldn't use hyphens - at a quick glance it looks too much like saying "one-half" of something.

If I had my druthers and no one telling me what to do, I'd put 1/6 to 2/6.

Thanks all that answered my question. - Debbie

I went with 1/6 to 2/6. I will update if I get corrected.

I am working on an account where I have had literally no training, on a program where I have had literally no training so I have no idea if it is verbatim or not. The doctor dictates "He was seen last by me in December of this year." Okay, it was actually December of last year or 2011, I would assume. Would you transcribe exactly what he says or would you change it to December 2011 or December of last year? Thanks so much!!! ...
