SENTENCE BEGINS WITH NUMBER - ten nine eight


Posted: Jun 24, 2010

So, we're not suppose to put a number (1, 2, 3,...) at the beginnng of a sentence.  How then, should I type out:

(HEADINGS)

ESTIMATED BLOOD LOSS:  300 cc.

DRESSINGS: 4 x 8.   

 

Help please!  Thanks! 

just like you have it - is fine

The numbers do not begin a sentence; they are preceded by a colon.

Did They Change The Rule About Not Starting A Sentence With A Number?
Jul 15, 2011

I'm just curious as I'm seeing it constantly now.  For decades, I have always been trained and told never to start a sentence with a number and to spell it out or add something like the work A or The like: The 20-year-old patient... instead of:  20-year-old patient...  I've been correcting it, but since I'm seeing it all the time, I'm wondering if this rule isn't followed anymore and, if this rule is still in place, they need to start training these ...

MDI - And So It Begins!
Jan 20, 2010

Got the emails today about the changes in management.  I can't say that was much of a surprise.  However, for one of my accounts I got an email saying that from now on the dictation for this particular account is going from the hospital to BeyondTXT to Bayscribe.  I can't see the logic in adding that step unless they want to phase Bayscribe out of that account and get it on BeyondTXT and its VR.  Despite whether that turns out to be the case or not, it's so sad ...

Set Number Of Reports
Jul 29, 2010

Something new I have noticed about several different companies is how they give you a set limit of reports when first starting out...Anyway, we are paid based on production.  How is someone supposed to live on say 10 reports a day for 2 weeks?  To me, I find that to be very insulting, and needing to pay my bills, it's just not something I could do.  It would be similar to someone who is being paid by the hour being limited to 3 hours a day in their first 2 weeks of their new ...
