I could have tried to help more, but don't know any more info as to whether this is a procedure, central line catheter, etc.  More info might have helped .

I'm doing more neurology than I've ever had to do, and unfortunately one of the authors is not the clearest speaker. Trying to find some good references for EMG test results/terminology, have spent a lot of time Googling with no really good sites showing up yet. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Subject: NWMNMT:Good grief, good grief, good grief..If this is the case, the doctor should also explain

the meaning in an ADDENDUM.
How do you know what the doctor meant? GOOD GRIEF, are you the know-it-all (hyphens must be put here, as it is used as a noun!) on this board? Get over yourself!

Who understands what it means without an explanation?
The MOST obvious is apparently like I understood it:
5 packs in 1 year.

Maybe the doctor really meant this, 5 packs per year, so essentially a nonsmoker.

GOOD GRIEF, get over yourself!

Quick Look Electronic Drug Reference.  You can get it from a lot of places.  I saw it on stedmans.com and amazon.com just to name a couple.  I saw it on walmart.com bundled with the paperback.  I don't have the book, just the CD, so I can't say anything about that, but it would probably be nice to have.  The CD has helped me a lot.  I just discovered recently the "sounds like" feature on searching where you can type in how the drug name sounds with a tilde (~) at the end and it will give a list of close matching drugs.  That's the best!

A search tip for all
Subject: A search tip for all

I am not a "certified" medical transcriptionist and I am new to this field of work.  However, I take pride in my work.  I work for a transcription service locally.  One of the best things I learned from my administrator is to use Google as my search engine.  If you are not sure what you are hearing, you can type what it sounds like.  If Google does not find an exact match it will ask "Do you mean __________?" (and it fills in what it might be) 98-99% of the time.  I usually resolve the question within a minute or two.  This has helped be TREMENDOUSLY.  My intention is not to brag; my first attempts were horrible, but my administrator gave me a few suggestions and I took it from there.  I just want to share something that has helped me so much as an MT.  My administrator has told me that is is a pleasure to open up my work to proof.  She has had several "experienced MTs" do some work that wasn't as good as mine turned out and I have only been doing this for less than a year.  I also did some research on the internet.  I found a site that is an Online Medical Transcription Course that I use as a tool.  There is a lot of information there that helped me also.  The site is:   http://mttutorial.blogspot.com/          


 


A brief Google search using
"T score" and "dexa" would have answered your question. And, it would incidentally have shown you that DEXA should be all caps. If you don't learn to do your own research, what will you do the next time this board is down for some reason?
