On those, are you absolutely positive that there isn't a space. If I use just a number and I get an error, I wipe the whole number out and start over.

How many pharmacies in North Dakota? You could call them all up and tell them that 88 = QS, lol. Then, they would not only have to do the math, they would have to remember the code.

Speaking of dispened amount and sigs, etc.; it always kills me when I write 5 mLs or 1 tsp po bid for 10 days clearly being 100 mLs. Then I screw up on the dispensed by writing 80. And, they always call back asking which one is correct. I am always thinking "which one do you think is most likely to be the wrong entry?" But, I guess they don't have a choice. Of course, there is the theory that for each pharmacist who calls, probably five just go with the sig.
