Subject: I think you missed the point.

We all know what they mean. It's trying to decipher what the doc is saying when they barely open their mouths or are talking a mile a minute. When they say hyper___ or hypo____ and then never mention it again in the dictation, what to do? I think that's what she meant.

Your posted reply....SM...if you missed it in your e-mail inbox...
Subject: Your posted reply....SM...if you missed it in your e-mail inbox...

For your info.

--I haven't done ops in more than 15 yrs.

--I was hired to do discharge summaries. Instead, I was started on this new job tonight with 5 dictations to start. The first 3 up were--OPS!!!.

--There was no one to call at the company to look into or correct this situation at this hour, so I decided to forge ahead and do my best regardless.

--I posted asking for help, not for someone to be snide and to tell me how wrong I am and how they're not going to type it for me.

--In future, do us both a favor: Don't reply to any of my posts. I certainly won't be reading or replying to any of yours and I promise not to miss you--regardless of whether you have the guts to sign your real name or not.

Regarding letter h (hour) per BOS...please sm

Letter h. (with a period) is the abbreviation for the Latin word hora, meaning hour.


q.6 h. (every 6 hours)


In instructions for medications, Latin abbreviations may be coupled with English terms, such as hour. These may be transcribed as dictated or the English translated to Latin.


every 4 hours or q.4 hours or q.4 h or q.4 h Copyright (c) 2002 American Association for Medical Transcription.  So does this mean we can do the q.4 h without the period at the end of h, because I am constantly having to remove capital letters from words following the h with a period.  Thanks.

Info for a letter help?
Subject: Info for a letter help?

Hello, I am writing a letter and doc wants me to list this info as a chart in the letter? In 2004 225 pounds, 2005 242 pounds, 2006 267 pounds, 2007 258 pounds, 2008 255 pounds.  How what I format that?


I am thinking....


In: 


2004  225 pounds


2005  242 pounds


etc?  However, it would not be double spaced for some reason it keeps doing it on here?
