Subject: Hospital experience as what? a doctor? a nurse? Or are you speaking of hospital experience as an

experience is, it lacks credibility especiall when you base it on YOUR experience.  Who are you?  How much experience do you actually have?  What kind of experience do you have?  How many diabetic patients have you encountered in your years of experience?


You can't expect to make a sweeping generalization like "all diabetics have hypertension" and not get called out on it.  Come on!  Know your place.  Arrogance is an unattactive personality trait.

My experience
Subject: My experience

I work for a hospital doing transcription and when they switched us from hourly pay to productivity pay, I went from making a little over $14/hour to over $20 an hour!  It's funny, we all thought it was going to be a bad thing to switch and our bosses kept saying we think you all will be happy, wait and see.  They were right!  I do have medical/dental insurance thru them also, it was never based on my productivity whether or not I have insurance or not.

I'm diabetic, have been in the hospital and I don't have high high blood pressure. In fact, I have low blood pressure. You need to stop spouting off things like you are all knowing. Sheesh, what a goomba*!!

*Forget all the rest of the meanings of goomba, this is what a goomba really is: a goon, a goof, a kook, or poser who doesn't physically resemble a goomba from Mario Bros. but acts just like one. You know a true goomba when you see one.

I will put a blank or a timestamp for QA.  You really should never guess especially when the audio is broken up like that.  My advice would be send to QA or leave a blank with a comment that the dictation skipped.

Really, so many times when people find answers to the questions that they post, they just say...'Never mind, found it,' which leaves a lot of us up in the air as to what the answer was! So thanks for sharing your solution!

First, it's my day off and I'm spending it looking up words...but if I have the time I think it's fun.  Okay, all I could find were Autologel - Cytomedix and Autologous Platelet Grafting - SafeBlood Technologies and it seems Cytomedix is suing Safeblood.  Sorry I couldn't be more help.
