transcribing about NIDDM. Sounds like sulfanuria and glybizone.

Subject: transcribing about NIDDM. Sounds like sulfanuria and glybizone.

I've come across a dictation that is talking about NIDDM.  It sounds like he's saying "he was initially of sulfanuria and switched insulin in Puerto Rico".  The other part is "He has never been on metformin or glybizone."  Any suggestions??

are you transcribing or coding?
Subject: are you transcribing or coding?

If you are transcribing, the correct way is:

V code: Parent-child conflict.

Unless you are a certified coder, it would be wise to avoid inserting the actual code into the transcription as the MD/psychologist did not dictate it. The codes can change from year to year and you could enter the wrong code depending on the date of the service and which coding resource you are using.

Subject: Advice for transcribing lens

I am new and have an ophthalmology account. I am not having much trouble with the terms, but I'm unsure how to punctuate and/or format the lens prescriptions.  Does anyone know of a good website that explains this or provides examples?  Thanks!

Subject: Is your patient a male? There are male sounds and female sounds. sm

Male sounds are shaped differently than female sounds. Obviously, male sounds being longer. They are used to dilate the urethra in order to facilitate the passage of stones or perhaps JJ stents etc. They come in different diameters ie..18FR, 20FR etc. Hope this helps.

I have known T-wave and Q-wave - s/l *key* may be either Q or T.....is this an ESL dictator? 


Also, in an EKG, as I know it, the leads are in Roman numerals....leads I, II, and aVF (for example). 


I WOULD, however, blank the Q or T - because key/tee k/q sounds.  It could be either/or and I would blank it....but, of course, this is from yesterday, and the report probably already went back.  *lol*
