Over the years allergies has evolved (sm)

Subject: Over the years allergies has evolved (sm)

Physicians used to just list the allergy itself, in your case, morphine, but I have found that currently they are listing the reaction to the allergen, which in you case is hives.  Another example would be rash.  Morphine-hives.  Allergies:  Morphine causes hives.  In my experience anyway...

I learned 27 years ago to use q.4h. (no spaces), past few years q.4 h. (see msg)
Subject: I learned 27 years ago to use q.4h. (no spaces), past few years q.4 h. (see msg)

Now some are saying it's q. 4h.??  UGH, YUCK!!  I have also worked on accounts where it had to be "every 4 hours," and we had to spell out p.r.n. (as needed for).  At least we got more characters. 


First rule:  It is all what the "client/account" wants, not always what the BOS says it is.  I realize that language and its usage is constantly changing, but I've seen so many BOS and client flip-flops on so many other things in nearly 3 decades that it's laughable.  What isn't laughable is when we get penalized for not knowing what they want, even when they, themselves, don't know or are wrong.


Oh, and I still prefer the old no spaces:  q.4h., q.4-6h., q.12h., and so on.....


Wow, thank you. Just years, years and more years of experience
Subject: Wow, thank you. Just years, years and more years of experience

and a constant thirst for learning something new everyday. As we all know this can get to be somewhat boring, but learning from what I transcribe as well as from other transcriptionists keeps me going (money is not bad either). It becomes a challenge. But I can't thank you enough for the kind words.

Use to be younger...

When I started in transcription there was a saying my boss would always quote and that was WHEN IN DOUBT, LEAVE IT OUT.  It's better to put a blank and have QA figure it out or even have the doctor fix it instead of putting the wrong information.
