When height is dictated as "six one"... - Puzzled


Posted: Jul 21, 2010

...what is the best way to transcribe?  Would it be "6 feet one inch"? or 6' 1" ? (BTW, I'm on a verbatim account).  Thanks!

Should We Change The Dictated Layout Of The Report?

In this final exam, its an operative report and she has the pre-op and post-op diagnosis' at the end of the report! Should I put them at the beginning where they have been with all the other reports we were given? So confused! ...
