I am working on a tape and for a verbatim account.

The dictator says "Patient is six two and weighs two hundred pounds".

What would you type?

I would type Patient is 6 feet 2 inches and weighs 200 pounds; since one is supposed to use numerals and the symbols for feet and inches are not supposed to be used, this is the only way to avoid the confusion of "6 2 and weighs.."
