Subject: Thanks for taking the time, but what I was looking for...

was when there are abnormalities in the CBC, the further studies that are typically performed (eg, iron, TIBC, ferritin, transferrin saturation, etc). Maybe these are too dependent on the lab performing the studies to have normals. I'm not certain.

Subject: time to type 1.5 hours of dictation..

It usually takes me twice the time to transcribe the work.  If the doc is easy and you can go right from one template/document to the next, it should only take you like 4 hours at the most.  10-12 hours is an awful long time.  What kind of interruptions are you getting.
