"He is here because he states his heart rate is irregular. He felt a little bit of wooziness from it due to the lightheadedness. We checked the hemoglobin which has dropped a little bit since the last visit to 12.8. MCV is 89. Normal platelets. Patient had s/l  lines in the summer. An antibiotic was called in for 21 days. Patient states it did not bother his stomach but it made his heart beat a little bit harder."

We're not on the beach.  We're here to support and try to help one another in our quest to be good transcriptionists.  End of story.  I bet the administrator e-mailed her and told her she is not supposed to ask test questions and does not need you tattling.  It doesn't matter where I stand, I just don't believe in being a squeaky wheel to get attention and be a brown-noser!  I may be wrong, but I don't believe we make gains that way.  Take care....

Those are the closest words to what he says (even though I clearly hear a 'T' sound), but I have no idea if those would go with a diganosis of cryptococcal meningitis.  It really sounds like he is saying de-ser-ti-a, but he is ESL.

Subject: he's probably saying no hair tourniquet in GU exam

It is pretty bad.  When my little baby was only a couple of months old, I took off his tiny sock and, to my horror, a piece of hair was wrapped so tight around his teeny little toe that it had swollen and turned purple-red.  I so almost panicked.  I painstakingly removed it, which was no easy task, and vowed to be ever so more careful that it never happened again...
So how does a hair tourniquet get started?
Subject: So how does a hair tourniquet get started?

You can kind of see how a hair would be so fine, and babies have that sweet baby plumpness so that it would be hard to see the hair until the baby had redness and irritation, but does the hair just sort of get worked into the area from a sock or something that was in the dryer and had a hair already on it? Who knew there were so many things to worry about??

The registered trademark is spelled ENDO CATCH, but depending on how QA and the AAMT attacks you it could be right or wrong.  What's right today is wrong tomorrow and changed back the next day.


It's become petty.  If you can spell it, and someone can read it aloud from what you transcribed why isn't that good enough? 


PFFTT!  We are transcribing doctors who say stupid things like "satting," and "Coumadinized," which aren't even real words and they accept that! 


I'm already miffed thinking of how stupid QA and the AAMT are and I have not even finished "coffeeing!"  LOL.

Horrible sound quality, I now have 5 blanks in this report.  Need help with this anesthesiology consultation on pending shoulder surgery.


There is no tenderness along the right or left brachial plexus, the ________ groove or supraclavicular region. There is no tenderness along the right or left anterior or medial _________ muscles. The patient's upper extremity shows the _________ muscle mass appears symmetrical.


I'm sorry, the sound is so bad I don't even know what these words sound like.  It doesn't help that the dictator has marbles in his mouth!!  I just don't have a clue!!

I looked up "hair tourniquet" to find that it affects mostly infants, a hair wrapped tightly around an extremity or the external genitalia causing extreme discomfort. I've got a rambling dictator who states things in no particular order. Does anyone have an opinion on where this is most properly put?
