Subject: it's a long story

so I didn't go into it. I worked at a hosptial and all they ever gave me for five years was Rad. So now, YES, I am taking a test for the basic four so I can work at home. Do the employers not want us to look for answers in these places?

Funny story
Subject: Funny story

Actually, that just reminded me of the surgeon who performed my cholecystectomy. The nurse accidently called him by his last name and he refused to acknowledger her until she apologized and called him Dr. X. Since I was the patient, and we were social friends, I completely gave him crap about it. He ended up apologizing to the nurse. lol
This could be atypical story sm
Subject: This could be atypical story sm

but is he saying atypical HISTORY of chest pressure.  Sort of like atypical chest pain/pressure.  He is probably telling the doc what his symptoms are almost like when you hear the word picture.  Like bursitis-type picture.  This is just what I would think anyway..... 
I agree with story.

Here's another White-Out story...
Subject: Here's another White-Out story...

In the 80s, my friend in the office got bored and tried White-Out as eye shadow & started screaming, "It burns, It burns!!" and we had to take her to the bathroom and wash it off.  Strange days, indeed.


Thanks for your help!

how long would it take?
Subject: how long would it take?

How long would it take one of you experienced MT's that always answer my questions to transcribe an 1 1/2 of dictation? The doctor speaks english, is very easy, I have very little research to do and it still takes me about 10-12 hours with interuptions.

How long would it take you?

Subject: How long would it take?

It has always been said it should take double the time to transcribe that it did to dictate. If it is easy dictation and not too fast, should be able to do it in 2 1/2 hours.

It does take some time and experience to be able to do transcription that fast.

I"ve been working as an MT only five months since school. No one reviews my work before the doctor. He hates me to leave a blank, but how long is fair for me to search for this type of work at 8 cents per line? I've spent over an hour.

probably shortening terms; might be choosing between Total Condylar II through III (which go by many names like GSB, TCP, TCII,TCIII etc.)and a hinged prosthesis...and they won't know which one until they go in and see the actual damage or injury; or, if it's a revision, which components will work best....

long liver
Subject: long liver

I posted this on the main board and it disappeared so I'm trying again.  Word help is not what I'm looking for though.  I'm trying to find information on having a long liver....not an enlarged liver, but a long liver which I have been told can be a normal variant.  In searching google for abnormal, long, length, etc., I am not coming up with anything pertaining to a long liver.  I know it sounds weird.  It is not a common thing to have but some people do and I would like more information.  TIA.

Subject: I have a long question.. of what you would do..

The doctor dictates


ECG:  Normal sinus rhythm.  Normal ECG.


Then he gives the lab data. Then he says..


ECG July 14, 2007  Normal sinus rhythm.  Frequent ventricular ectopy. 


Do you think the first ECG was for the office visit ( as is this report) and the other was for an ECG she had taken on that date??  I am confused.  Thank you
