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 ...

This incision was made with a 15 scalpel blade superficially through the epithelium only. Using 6-0 PDS sutures on a * s/l beevuan* needle as traction sutures, the surroundi ...
