Hi all, Out of curiousity, we have some radiology doctors here who use the abbreviation 'cc' when referring to measurements that are non-liquid. We usually change cc to mL but in that case it does not seem appropriate. Has anyone else come across this and is this the proper abbreviation to use, or is there another one we should know about, or are the doctors using the incorrect terms? Thanks for any input anyone out there can give me! Maggie ...

So I'm not completely clear on this. I know liquid measurements are grammatically to be treated singly--"20 mL of normal saline was given." My question is whether this applies when it's not necessarily a liquid measurement but is currently applied to a liquid. The sentence is "Then, 4000 units of heparin [was/were] given." I want to pick 'were', mainly because 'was' sounds wrong and 'units' are not a solely liquid measurement like m ...

For those who work with echo dictation - from what I understand, it's useful for straight transcribing, but does it work in VR? I'm thinking of investing in it, but can't understand how it would be useful in a VR program, which is where everything will be in just a few years. I would think it wouldn't work in a non-Word program since you can't cut and paste, and even if it did, you'd be editing twice. Thanks for any info! ...

that we have to key in all this information from the work sheet into the report? I hate these things.
