experience is, it lacks credibility especiall when you base it on YOUR experience.  Who are you?  How much experience do you actually have?  What kind of experience do you have?  How many diabetic patients have you encountered in your years of experience?


You can't expect to make a sweeping generalization like "all diabetics have hypertension" and not get called out on it.  Come on!  Know your place.  Arrogance is an unattactive personality trait.

Subject: "Ortho RICE" -- from an emergency department nurse practitioner

very annoying young woman who says in her "Plan": ortho RICE ... I've googled but I can't find this as an "entity" -- I know was RICE is -- but usually she has not mentioned any form of "compression", so in my irritation I've just been leaving it at RICE ... would you spell it out or leave abbreviated? Ditto BRAT diet which can be banana, rice, apple sauce/apple juice + tea/toast so I leave it at BRAT.

FISH [also called fluorescence in situ hybridization]

This is a lab test that measures the amount of a certain gene in cells. It can be used to see if an invasive cancer has too many HER2 (HER TOO) genes. A cancer with too many of these genes is called HER2-positive. If a cancer is HER2-positive, it may respond to Herceptin. (her-SEP-tin) This is a drug that can slow down or stop the growth of cancer with too many HER2 genes.

She is from Canada so may be they do things differently there. Yes, it seems like she knows everything, has an answer for everything, even if it is wrong, as in Lyderm, and there seems to be no stopping her.

I ask a few questions on this board and give some answers, only if I definitely know the answer. I feel it is difficult to do sounds like on this board without hearing the dictation. There is too much guessing going on.

Should be changed. Medical transcription should not even have strictly verbatim accounts. It's so unprofessional. Most verbatim account contracts I have ever had actually stated verbatim with light editing for grammar/punctuation per the AAMT.
