I didn't even know where to start on that one. 
You're getting some very good advice here. sm
Subject: You're getting some very good advice here. sm

I've been using PRD for years and it allows me to use symbols as part of the shortcuts which really helps a lot. Because there can be the same abbreviation for different phrases, I will add a single hyphen for cardio, 2 hyphens for ortho, etc. Also, if the phrase needs to be hyphenated to precede a noun, such as in "up-to-date information," the short form here for a hyphenated "up to date" would be "-utd." When it doesn't need to be hyphenated, it would be "utd." This comes in handy for the phrase "too numerous to count." (You get the idea.)

This is really a personalized thing. My short forms may be a mystery for another MT.

For personal names that crop up a lot that I don't want to type out each time, I'll use the last name with either a hyphen after it or a "1." For instance, "George Washington, MD," I'd use "wash1." For "George Washington, PA-C" I'd use wash-.

Your "rrr" also could be "r3." My "alert and oriented x3" is "ao3."

Whatever floats your boat! Have fun!

NWMNMT:Good grief, good grief, good grief..If this is the case, the doctor should also explain
Subject: NWMNMT:Good grief, good grief, good grief..If this is the case, the doctor should also explain

the meaning in an ADDENDUM.
How do you know what the doctor meant? GOOD GRIEF, are you the know-it-all (hyphens must be put here, as it is used as a noun!) on this board? Get over yourself!

Who understands what it means without an explanation?
The MOST obvious is apparently like I understood it:
5 packs in 1 year.

Maybe the doctor really meant this, 5 packs per year, so essentially a nonsmoker.

GOOD GRIEF, get over yourself!

Please let me know.  I've done a lot of duplex ultrasounds over the past 5-6 years but I am very "aural" when it comes to dictation - once I see "increment" and have that in my mind, I can't think of anything else.   Anyway, I would like to know what it is in case I run across it.


Thanks!

I've spent too much time on it as it is.  I'm overly tired and grumpy anyway from getting up to pee every hour for the last several nights from my own urinary issues.  The NP said I'd have relief today.  What an a**hole.  I'm in so much pain.  He insists it could not be a kidney stone yet I'm peeing massive amounts of blood and blood clots.  I've had a hyster so I know it's not coming from there.  I don't usually wish things on people but I'm so grumpy from lack of sleep and in so much pain right now, I hope he gets one this bad.  Curses!

She says: Upper extremity, right, and rigidity with bright red ***ek-I-nas-ia**.


This is in PE, and she is usually quick with this section and doesn't explain much, so I have nothing else to go off of. This is a geriatric medicine note. Also, it's pretty much verbatim, so this is what is said.


Thanks!

I figure cc is used in a syringe sm
Subject: I figure cc is used in a syringe sm

and mL is liquid can be given through a syringe minus the needle orally.  You will also see this on the measuring cup on top of cough medicine.  cc and mL are measurements equal in quantity.  5 mL = 1 tsp or 5 cc = 1 tsp.  I think the dangerous abbreviations are more for handwritten notes as opposed to transcription.   JMO.

It is also hard to figure out ...
Subject: It is also hard to figure out ...

... because they put this patient on 1 baby aspirin a day, which I thought was to thin the blood. I actually ended up asking a doc at the hospital where I work, and he seemed to indicate that there wasn't really any "hypocoagulable workup" -- it was more like "bleeding studies." There is a "hypercoagulable workup" which is extensively discussed on the net, but this patient with the bleeding may be more a candidate for the bleeding studies. However, from what I have read on the net, the tests that are done for a "hypercoagulable workup" are the ones which are being ordered for this patient. Sigh. I'm going to change it to hypercoagulable, and mark it just in case. Thanks for your input.
