caps lock
Subject: caps lock
This happens to me often and at random. Sometimes if I have my email up at the same time I'm working, if I close it, or exit the web entirely the problem may resolve. Other times I've exited my word document and the problem resolves...sometimes not. Sometimes I've had to reboot...sometimes the problem resolves and sometimes not. It's still a mystery to me.

I work from home and I don't know who else to ask. I have been typing all morning and suddenly everything went to all caps and i can't turn it off. Thanks to anyone who has a suggestion.
Either initial caps or camel caps are fine, just be consistent.

Subject: I'll have to switch to VIN II, sm
It just seemed like it made sense to me, and none of my reference books say one way or the other. But I have a question, when I now google "CIN II" and "CIN 2", I get many more references for roman numerals rather than numbers. Do you type this with RN, is BOS incorrect? Thanks.

hep-lock vs med-lock
Subject: hep-lock vs med-lock
Does anyone have a BOS 2 and does it state this? Hep-lock is what is usually dictated but rarely is the patient actually given heparin. I know there is also a term Med-lock but MDs almost always say Hep-lock. Also, what's the correct spelling, capped, not capped? Thank you.

another wild guess here, but perhaps on the CT scan they can see a posterior MLS (midline shift)...caused by the hemorrhage...and now showing up as a hematoma or contusion within the midline shift???

It is my impression, at this time, that he has posttraumatic headaches that have associated occipital neuralgia pain, though there is some "sidelock" nature to this headache as well.

The places I work at make it real clear. If the doctor states Synthroid 100 mg and you type it and leave it that way, that is a patient care error which is the highest number of points I've ever seen taken off. We have to have 98% or above accuracy and if you mess up and drop below that, you either get correction action (at one place) or get 5% of your pay reduced (at current place). Now I agree with you that it shouldn't be that way. My sister-in-law is a nurse and is appalled that we have to do that since we are not in the chain of responsibility regarding medication distribution. Unfortunately, at least where I've worked, we are responsible for knowing all meds and proper dosages which is why my former employer gives Quick Look to all its employees.

... the consensus, across the board, has always been to use KCl unless specifically told by the dictator in some way that the other was intended (which, so far, has never happened in my experience).
On the other hand, lots of our dictators routinely say s/l "cipro" and we always give them Cipro as a result, but I suspect that many of them intend ciprofloxacin and are just doing their lazy thang....
So go figure.

I use all the methods the other poster suggested. I also begin thinking to myself "what could he/she be saying" here that would fit in with the context? Can I actually hear anything that is pertinent? Think in terms of what is being done to the patient, would they have a reason to be using a particular med, technique, test, whatever. You sometimes just cannot make sense out of garbage no matter what methods you use and even QA will give them big, fat blanks.
