| I have one dictator who dictates "sub-q" frequently. I have looked through
BOS but can't find it, though I am sure it is there somewhere. What is the
proper way to type it or should it be expanded to subcutaneously?

| I type subq for notes, and expand it for letters.

The place where I'm working now expands EVERYTHING. However, the normals
that were given to me had "subcu" and I figured that is what they
wanted. THEN the hospital sent a note for me not to do that, to write
out subcutaneous/ly.
I don't see how it amounts to a hill of beans, myself, but I'd never
used sub-q anyway, always subcu.

| Interesting--I would never have thought of that as a way of writing it.
This dictator always uses subq and has me use other abbreviations that I
would not otherwise use unless instructed to, like P. for pulse, R. for
respiration, etc. and NAD for no acute distress, so I have a feeling if she
says subq she means subq. I just wasn't sure about the hyphen and in a
letter I would definitely expand it--that's a given, but she does all notes
only or H&Ps.
Thanks.

| "Subcu" is what's required at work, and I assume that's based on the BOS.
