q3 month - babs

I wouldn't use the q alone. It's one of the abbreviations that can be misinterpreted. I would type every 3-months followup. :-)
q.3.months - dsauverwald

If you have a verbatim account you cannot expand unless it is one of those abbreviations that are dangerous or unacceptable. It is q.3.months. I looked up q3 months and that is an unnacceptable version as q3 can be interpreted wrong.
every 3 months -- do not combine latin abbreviation with english word. - NM

q.4 hours is incorrect. Just because you see it used doesn't make it correct.

3-month Versus 3 Month May 13, 2014Which is correct: "The patient is here for a 3-month followup visit." or "The patient is here for a 3 month followup visit." I was always told in this instance that it is without the hyphen becuase putting the hyphen in it will mean that the visit is 3 months long versus a visit at 3 months' time. Which is the correct way to do this? I got a correction back on a file and I was pretty sure I had it right. ...
To Me2 Followup On ASR Jun 18, 2010Well, in trying a couple of your suggestions, I find it did not make a substantial difference. I found I already try listening ahead and I had been using ctrl M to jump around the report when I need to, but never works for going faster through the actual report because I can't tell what is background gibberish while the dictator is thinking and what might be the dictator. Leading me to believe it must have a lot to do with the account. I can never go too far ahead of the d ...

Follow Up Or Followup Jan 09, 2013It's always the little things that snag me up. I know the rules on follow up as a verb and followup as a noun and adjective, but when a doc says, "CHIEF COMPLAINT: Follow up acne", does he mean "recheck acne" which would make follow up a verb and thus spelled follow up, or does he mean "here for a followup of acne"? and thus the followup spelling. What is the general rule on this "shortened" statement?
Thanks. ...
