Roman Numerals versus Numbers
Back in the 70s, murmurs were Roman Numerals.  Then The Book of Style came out and that is the first I was told of the change.  Since then, it is written as numbers, i.e., 1/6.
was roman numerals
It was Roman Numerals until transcription started going by The Book of Style.  Then it changed to numbers.
Roman Numerals
How funny, I have transcribed for 36 years and every cardiologist I worked for used Roman Numerals.  It is we, the transcriptionists, who started using numbers, when we were being critiqued by the Book of Style.  Then I noticed the cardiologists a few times would state, use Roman Numerals and after a while, they went along with numbers. So, maybe you and your cardiologists are post Book of Style.
Roman numerals
Someone posted a whole document they recieved from their workplace on the correct way to use Roman numerals versus regular numbers and staging of cancers, I meant to to make a copy, but forgot, could you please repost this, Forever Thankful. 
Roman: Stages. Numerals: Classes (nm)

Help, cant remember classes and stages roman numerals???

numbers versus numerals
Grade is always NUMBERS, Stage is always NUMERALS

Hope that helps some :) (good English, I know)
If I boil mine ahead of time, I go ahead and peel off the shell after they have (sm)
been sitting in a pan of cold water for about 30 minutes.
how do you type numbers in tuning fork test
"his 5, 12 and 10,24 tuning fork tests were flipped"
Vera Pyle 7th ed. showed Roman. We used to use Roman until

So how would you know ahead of time if
problem with drinking? Don't mean to get off the subject but just wondering.
that should say *ahead of time*

Okay, I apologize ahead of time for this

I make lunch ahead of time and

my child has never complained about the bread being hard.  Maybe because we use 100% whole wheat and it is already kind of dry?  I have just never heard that complaint from anyone


I make lunch right after clearing up dinner and that way if we all oversleep by accident, at least its one less thing to have to worry about.  We have enough stress in the morning.


 


why subject little angels to the willey years ahead of time
The hairy thing might scare her. At that age, they are fugly.

Tell papa not to take ANY chances that could screw up her delicate psyche. If he continues, make an appt with a therapist and get an expert's advice.
How about under classification systems in
AAMT BOS(assuming you have this/if not, you can get free through MQ). Hope this helps!
14 years at the time I took the test.
But if you have the CMT review guide and study it, take the little tests at the end of the chapters, you WILL pass.  just don't be nervous.  They give you something like 4 hours and I was out of there in a little over an hour.  You don't need to get a 100%, just pass it.  And before anyone starts ragging on how it's not worth it blah blah blah, I did it for ME.  I spent my own money to prove to MYSELF that I am not as stupid as all my supervisors who don't know s*it from shinola about MT imply that I am.  And I got a personalized license plate but I suppose the morons down here think I am affiliated with a cement company. 
They did test first time at doctor's office.

Sounds like time to find different co to test for.

If they pay by character, they pay for numbers. Numbers are characters, silly.

numerals
Our cardio docs like: III/VI
numerals used for consistency..so all is the same..

Roman
Stages are normally written in Roman but your company/account might have a preference.
It was regarding numerals. This was during my training, so I was full QA. There are 2 ladies who Q
One had made a correction from three-way catheter system to "3-way catheter system." Ironically, I got the same surgeon, saying the same thing, so typed it with the numeral. The other lady QA'd the 2nd report and she changed 3-way to "three-way" so now I'm really unclear as to what to do.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I will e/m the question to the QA team. That way, it's in their laps to figure out which way is correct.
Any job I've been on has used Times New Roman at 12. nm

my preference is for Times New Roman n/m

It's a test in progress to measure what MTs know and what type of test to give for the SM
different levels of MTs.  It's over $90.  That's a lot of money to pay to someone who is giving these tests for research as to what type of testing should be done for the different levels of MT.  The AAMT will probably take the results and make a test that they can give in India or the Phillipines or some other foreign country. 
tuning fork test: Is it about a hearing test? .See inside
A whisper is about 20 dB
Loud music (some concerts) is around 80 to 120 dB
A jet engine is about 140 to 180 dB

Hope I could help
Tanner staging, roman or arabic? sm
TIA! I have always done it roman numerals but am just wondering how everyone else does it!
QA question: Just started new job. Was told to type numerals for everything. Received a

correction from "three-port catheter system" to "3-port catheter system."  So typed it with the numeral next time.  Received it back again from another QA person and told to type it three-port.  So which is correct?  I have also always typed figure-of-eight, so now that would be figure-of-8 by the 1st person's standards.  Looks funny to me. 


Input please.......


Thanks!!


HELP. can never remember...stages are roman??? classes are ??? grades are ???? HELP

Not a medical typing test but this website can test you..

It's called www.typingtest.com


Atleast it will give you an idea.. Sadly, I had to take it twice before I passed it LOL


Why would they do a microalbumin test when she has the period? A lot of test s will come out wrong

Neer's test is a shoulder impingement test

Don't think that has to do with the knee.  How about "bucket handle tear" of the knee?  Never heard of Neer having anything to do with the knee. 


yes that is it. Is that roman numeral?also, Pap smear of the cusp/cuff???? was done today
tia
happens quite often i would test again or go see your GYN for blood test which is more accurate

Yeah a 30 minute test---work for free, he gets enough to test, his work is done - nm

Medical records are data driven. Numerals are data.

Don't do anything, just tell him to go ahead and do what he
has to do. If he's not for real, the threat has been not worked. If he is for real, he MUST have documentation to prove his case, or even then it's no use taking it to court. He will file in small claims probably, if less than $5000. He must prove his case, and you don't have to do anything, bottom line.
Don't get too ahead of yourself..
You may certainly have a valid argument, but don't base it on the "fact" that rad reports are all paid by report.  I have been doing rad for over 12 years now, and have yet to be paid by report.  Most are by the line, and any MTSO I have worked for, rad is one of the lowest line rates compared to other work type accounts.  Yes, there are companies that pay by the report, but, I surely wouldn't go so far as saying that is the "norm". 
Then go ahead. Not me.
nm
Go ahead
post it! You will feel so much better and be able to continue knowing you got your two cents in. Sometimes it makes you wonder about American standards for the practice of medicine, does it not? Doesn't it make sense that in America doctors should be able to communicate properly and have a handle on the language? Accents are not what I am talking about either. I am talking about vocabulary and grammar that can possibly cause a change outcome. This is a very serious business, medicine. Those who dictate should be qualified to dictate. Amen.
Classes - Arabic. Stages - Roman. Grades- Arabic. I have these written on a sticky
note beside workstation....then don't have to look up every time. 
Or maybe that in itself IS the test! It's really an ethics test, LOL. nm

Ah, go ahead...don't be ashamed...

No one will laugh.  And, most likely no one will slam you for it either.  There are only a few really nasty, jealous people here.   



Go ahead and invest......SM please
Go ahead and pay for a decent program so you'll be set up. In all honesty (my opinion) you do not get the same kind of quality sound with these freebies as you do with the others. If you intend to do this job, at least get proper equipment.

IMHO
Go ahead, tell us, what is abortion then?

go ahead rant!
One of my dictators smacks gum in my ear constantly and it drives me crazy because it is rude!!
thinking ahead
Yes, you are so right, be cordial and that's it. Her problems are not mine and she is very manipulative. My concern is mainly how this will affect my friendship with Patty who happens to be a very close friend of mine. Also, thinking ahead to the future, H's daughter is getting married. Wait! Before I get into this... H's daughter moved out yesterday. They had a huge fight and H kicked her out of the house. The daughter is now living with the fiance's family!!! I know they will patch it up probably in the near future... so here is my problem. About a month ago, H called me and said she is having a shower for her daughter on July 29 at 1:30 and I should mark the date. I said "I'm busy that day" and I was joking, but I wish I was busy. First of all, I hate showers and I hate Pampered Chef parties which she is also always having...and I never go !!! :)
I don't go to those. Secondly, I want to backpedal from this family as much as possible. H is the type who will never speak to me again if I don't go to the shower. All advice is appreciated. I guess if she isn't talking to me maybe she will not send the invitation... but I can't count on that.

Go ahead, argue with me on how you all think

Lets see the moral ethics flow. 


Paying below poverty... minimum wage is POVERTY, yet, below that.. what a joke.


 


So many drs, so many specialites, can't get ahead!

Ugh, I've been working for a National for about a month now, and they keep throwing new drs and new specialities at me everyday, and it's so frustrating.  My line count gets lower it seems, instead of higher.  Is this normal?


I've been an MT for 10 years, but worked for a local small company until they went out of business.  This national thing is completely new to me, and I'm not liking it so far.  Just when I was getting comfortable about 2 weeks ago, they threw new docs and new specialities at me, and I can't seem to keep up.  Very frustrating!!
