Hypo, hyper, macro, micro
I'm a long-time MT and I still have a problem telling hypo from hyper, hypothyroid from  hyperthyroid,  macro from micro, etc....unless it's very obvious from the content of the dictation which is a lot of times isn't.    Another difficulty is the lab values...it's hard to tell 15 or 50, 20 from 30.  I leave blanks and then I see where QA fills them in.  So, I don't know if my hearing is getting bad or if they or just guessing.  Or, they may have access to othe lab values from previous dictation.  So I'm just wondering if this is a common problem with other MT's. Maybe I need to have my hearing checked.

What is considered term pregnancy?
Subject: What is considered term pregnancy?

I have a dictator that said, "The child was born at term.  Mom was 24 weeks' gestation."  I always thought term was somewhere around 36+ weeks.  He went on to say the birth weight was 6 pounds 13 ounces.  Just from experience, I would think a 24-week gestation infant would not weigh that much.


Anyone in OB care to comment?

stats page ?
Subject: stats page ?

Maybe I'm senile or something, but until the new PP began, I would look up stats as "current month," which worked fine.  Now when I try to enter the last 2-3 days, I always end up adjusting one of the dates.  Even more frustrating is selecting "16th to end of month," and it brings up November! 


I could swear that sometime in the past I figured this out.  It's petty but annoying.


Thanks!
