"hemat" acceptable short form - muggins123


Posted: Feb 16, 2010

Is "hemat" an acceptable short form for hematocrit?  I don't have an example and I can't find anything in my resources indicating it can be or shouldn't be used as such.

Thanks!

I have never heard or seen "hemat" - used for hematocrit

I would spell it out.

W-9 Form

I worked as an IC transcriptionist in 2013 for approximately 4 months.   The company sent a W-9 form and is requesting it be signed and sent back.  I did not make a total of $600.00 when I was working for them, which I've understood from others that if you make less than $600.00 you don't need to send in a W-9 form.  Can someone clarify on this? Thanks so much.   ...
