Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Sorry guys, I am at a remote location without my references. I also can't figure out a successful search online. Doc dictates p.o. " q day " . Isn't it once per day and how should it be written? TIA, Ramona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 S/he is mixing Latin (q.d.) with English (every day). BOS lists " q.d. " as a dangerous abbreviation and says to change it to " daily " or " every day " (p. 463, 2nd ed.). Dana Re: q day q.day q day Sorry guys, I am at a remote location without my references.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 And then there are employers who insist on q. day when dictated: I was typing q. day as every day or daily, and QA slapped my hands. I was told " that's not what he dictated -- type what he dictated. " Re: q day Some employers will accept q day, but it's really not a legal abbrevation because it mixes Latin and English. I'd say either q.d. or every day Jan jantranscribes@... " Typing is my life. " " Whoever signs the paycheck makes the rules. " q day > Sorry guys, I am at a remote location without my references.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Not every employer is agreeing with the BOS on this -- the BOS stand on it was why I was typing daily or every day when q.d. was dictated, and once again I was told to type what was dictated. I cited the BOS, of course, but to no avail. Re: q day q.day q day Sorry guys, I am at a remote location without my references. I also can't figure out a successful search online. Doc dictates p.o.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Oh, I wince -- over that and lots of other things! :-) Re: q day That's why I said some employers accept it .. hence my sig line.. whoever signs the paycheck... But if I were forced to type it that way, I'd wince every time I did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 I save most of my cuss words for the terrible dictators -- and I confess I shout a variety of names at them -- but the eye rolling, sighing, and wincing are usually dedicated to all the rules with which I don't agree.
