Novartis Voltaren SR in Canada.  My old Drake&Drake has it too.  But probably means XR unless you're doing dictation from Canada.
y'know Canada is so mellow with us - why are you
Subject: y'know Canada is so mellow with us - why are you

Well, perhaps in Canada you have TONS of diabetics in hospitals - you have a lack of jobs there and a hugely growing Asian community (possibly taking said jobs), and there's plenty of time in Canada for people to over-indulge.


When I got online 11 years ago, the nicest people and the most people online at that time were Canadians.  I have a BEST FRIEND in Calgary (Douglaswoods Estates), and the Canadians have had our backs through several times of strife, like RIGHT NOW, in the USA.  You seem to be the exception to this.


Now please be a good girl and try to NOT post what appear to look like troll posts - be a little kinder.  Try a little tenderness as Otis Redding said so well.

It wouldn't make sense for him to say he is taking her off ibuprofen and putting her on Advil. So the med is not ibuprofen.

I always use the Quick Look Drug Book. It tells you if the drug is a brand name or generic. If it is a generic drug such as verapamil, they will list all of the brand names it goes by. If none of them are what the dictator is staying (i.e. verapamil SR) I would simply transcribe it as dictated "verapamil SR" the pharmacist will know that the SR is for sustained release.

I don't know if I've answered all your questions. If not, feel free to reply and I'll try to do a better job :-)

I have been doing hem/onc for 7-1/2 years, and it seems as though every account I have worked on uses their own style, i.e., currently I work on M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and they want stage IA, IIB, IIIC, etc., written as stage I-A, II-B, III-C, etc., plus a few other things that are done differently than normal. The client is always right, so you have to be sure to follow their guidelines.

barring that, the AAMT has come out saying that "disk" is preferred over "disc" (for whatever that's worth), though both are still acceptable.

I've had some clients with a preference for "disc" with respect to the eyes, and "disk" when referring to the spine, but the vast majority (in my recent experience) have shown a preference for disk in all cases.

Apparently BOS states both ways.  Ex.  X-rays, 2 views, blah, blah, blah.. or X-rays, two views, blah, blah, blah....  Same would apply with 1st and first.  I've had experiences where the client dictates which way they'd like it, and both are correct depending on which BOS you go by.  Hope this helps.

I really think these are questions you should ask your employer, assuming this is work related. Style and rules can vary from company to company. Most will provide you with a list of rules or specs and sample reports. If they haven't, you might ask for that. When in doubt, I follow BOS guidelines, though.
