1 or 2 (I was told this during training)
Subject: 1 or 2 (I was told this during training)

I was told when I was training at one point WITH MedQuist (when I was still on full QA) to use the numbers 1 and 2 and not the Roman numerals. I hope that helps. It might very well be a matter of preference for the account you are working on, but I believe the numbers 1 and 2 are correct.
s/l "ANG training"
Subject: s/l "ANG training"

This patient is going to "ANG training" to become a nurse anesthetist.  Anyone heard of this type of training?


Thanks,

It's apparent they have had NO training whatsoever. sm

I find this very alarming. It's gotten quite obvious the offshore people are putting any person with a BP and pulse behind a computer and saying "transcribe."

This is a huge problem. I feel kind of sorry for these offshore "MTs" but not that much. They really must be struggling. It's tough for all MTs to learn, but we in the USA at least have had some proper training.

Imagine not knowing "sound alike" for "tourniquet!" Unbelievable!!!





"was" by my training and references...sm
Subject: "was" by my training and references...sm

all amounts are to be transcribed as singular when abbreviated, so it does not matter if "approximately" is used it is always 10 cc of fluid was aspirated (and/or injected).

Obviously if it is dictated "a total of 10 cc..." it is WAS because "total" is the subject. Also, even if the dictation was "10 cc of fluidS..." it would still be was because the unit of measurement is the subject of the sentence and is abbreviated.

I once worked for a national that had such bad QA, sm
that I emailed the supervisor requesting that any document of mine that QA made "alterations," that that QA person's initials be placed alongside mine on the report.  Hopefully, I made my point.
