Doc is doing paracentral translaminar epidural steroid injection but she usually says paramedian and just wondering if this is a different somehow.

I can't seem to get this one... This demonstrates that he remains in atrial fibrillation 72% of the time. He is asense and V-pacing. 


 


Thanks! 


Silly ?

I feel silly asking this spelling of a non-medical word, s/l rehesitant is the word and I have noone to turn to right now to ask, so any clues?  I can pronounce it but cannot spell the darn thing.  The patient is resident or rehesitant to surgery. 


Thanks!

Here's my silly way of differentiating the two: sm
Subject: Here's my silly way of differentiating the two: sm

principle is belief--associating le with belief (same sound)

principal is main. a as in main.

BTW, "principle diagnosis" is INCORRECT!! That company is way off, unless it's the client that knows no better and is insisting on that spelling.

I have been transcribing for this doctor for some time now, and I swear he is saying


Hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg S/L in-cake.


He has never used this term before, and I cannot figure out if it is an abbrev. for something or what. He never says intake, and he lists 9 other medications in this reports that does not say this. Any help appreciated..maybe I am just hungry lol

what's wrong with that picture?  
Since no QA, just do what you feel
Subject: Since no QA, just do what you feel

looks right and then they will let you know if it is right or wrong.

I would probably separate each by stating the problem is blah, blah, blah then paragraph the examination is blah, blah, etc.

I would not capitalize headings since they are office notes.

Make each problem standout somehow.

If they have no samples for you, then do it and let them get back to you.

Good Luck
Thanks so much. I feel much better about this now.

Wow!! Feel sorry for you.
Subject: Wow!! Feel sorry for you.

No one from QA has EVER treated me that way. I have had a few less than desirables, but this one is shocking.

I can stand for the fact that people who have diabetes do not necessarily have hypertension. My father has diabetes and has had two MIs and does not have nor has he been treated for hypertension ever.

Plus, I have done QA and yeah, once in awhile a sound alike may seem way off to you because you may know the dictator so well, BUT I have never had anything come across that was "way off". I have always listened a couple of times to try to figure the word out before flagging it as I am sure 99% of us MTs do. Frankly, I would try to speak to her supervisor in the company if you have that option because if she is treating people that way, the company will lose their good MTs. I left a company of a nasty QA manager (apparently not this bad). I would NOT put up with that. It is abusive pure and simple

This is an ESL. I think she has said this before, but I cannot get a grip on it this time.

She was bleeding so much that she called 911 and the patient was taken to the ER. The ER controlled the bleeding and put a plastic **salizine** tape and sent her to see PCP today. According to her, she is not in pain at all but she was afraid when she took off the dressing it would bleed. Thanks!

Just trying to help, didn't claim to be perfect.  cushingoid/Cushing disease, effect, phenomenon, pituitary basophilism, response, suture, syndrome, etc. according to Stedman's.  Just call me "you'd be wrong" then from now on.  That won't bother me a bit.  I've got broad shoulders!  LOL    Hope you have a nice day!

Because of oligomenorrhea, she did start birth control pills and stopped them approximately 1 year ago.  At first she had menstrual cycles every 4-6 weeks, but about the last 6 months or so she has been having 2 periods a month.  She brings a schedule with her that shows that she had s/l promera or proberus from 06/07/06 to 06/14/06.  her times of bleeding were 06/24/06, 07/07/06, 07/25/06, and 08/06/06, and she bleeds about 3-7 days each time.  She has no moliminal symptoms and no evidence of ovulatory symptoms.
