Very complex GYN surgery.....s/l "lena loop?" Never stop learning! (been 26 years off and on)
Subject: Very complex GYN surgery.....s/l "lena loop?" Never stop learning! (been 26 years off and on) THANK

THANK YOU, I have used every reference I can think of, this guy is a regular, very, very picky, and usually very clear!  thanks a bunch!


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

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...

If the doctor dictates cholesterol profile do you transcribe that or lipid profile?  Also, how do you transcribe total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides after that?

experience.  I've asked questions before also but when I do, I will state the references that failed my efforts.  Everyone needs help now and again, but when someone leans too often on the power of the knowledge of others, it becomes a problem.  Will they remember what someone else _told_ them the next time that term/phrase comes up again?  Statistics have proven that 98% of what we retain is by learned by doing it first hand.  That means 98% of the people will not retain what they are told.  I like the quote "knowledge knows when to speak and wisdom knows when to listen."  I'm afraid we are somewhat short on wisdom on this board.

Can't remember which is correct. The patient is 40 years old or the patient is 40 years'old?

40 years of old doesn't seem right. So I am leaning towards 40 years old. Started new job and my brains have gone out the window.
