Carol Buck Coding Prep Course
May 07, 2010

Is anyone familiar with all the Carol Buck books for coding certification training?  I'm attempting to go through her 2010 Step-By-Step Medical Coding book and workbook along with the online "course" through Elsevier that accompanies the text.  My plan is to finish this and then move on to her The Next Step Advanced coding book and workbook, and then go through her 2010 Online Internship.  Here is what the publisher says about the "internship."  Get the practice you nee ...


Step-by-step Medical Coding By Carol Buck?
Nov 01, 2012

Hello. I was just wondering if anyone has experience with the above mentioned book? I was planning on getting the work book as well. I also wanted to know what other books I would need. I was going to get the 2013 addition for all books needed. I don't have the money to take a full course right now, but I would like to "get my feet wet" and see if this is the right field for me. Thanks. ...


Weird One. How Would You Do This?
Feb 08, 2010

Lately I have been doing a lot of transcription for some docs in some ski areas in Colorado so I am running into some terms I have never heard (not necessarily medical) or have thought how to spell.  Today, a pt "tacoed" a rail.  Would you type it that way, or taco'd~or another way? ...


Weird Med Help Please
May 01, 2010

This is a pt in her 20s being seen for a sore throat.  Hx of asthma, vertigo, migraines.  Only medication on her med list s/l "IM".  That is it.  Goes immediately to allergies from there.  Any clue what this could mean?  Nothing before or after to indicate an injection so it is not intramuscular.  Is IM an abbrievation for a medication of some kind that I am not aware of and can not find?  In short-HELP!  ...


Too Weird
Aug 09, 2010

I had 2 op notes from 08/06, then a discharge summary from 08/08.  I was getting all excited, thinking there was backlog and I was going to get work this Monday morning, then poof -- NJA.  Strange.  Why 3 old jobs and then nothing?  Overflow maybe?  Guess I could check the backlog, but I really forgot how and always seems pointless.  Never anything there.  I am typing jobs the second they are dictated, then sit and wait for the next one.  Sure that wo ...

Wow, Something Weird Is Going On ...
Jan 23, 2014

There is definitely something weird with work flow this week.  Here it is Thursday and the entire west coast region has almost no work at all.  The account that I work on that ALWAYS has work has *2* little reports as I type this.  Just going down the list, I'm amazed - the ENTIRE west coast only has 400 reports.  Really?  What's going on this week? ...

Weird Question...
Sep 29, 2010

Hi all, I have kind of a weird question. Does anyone else have trouble finding a new job other than MT? I am looking at clerical type work again as I cannot stand being an MT anymore, working from home, NJA, not enough money to support myself, etc. Anyway, I have been applying to any and all jobs FT or PT that are not gas stations or bartending. I've applied everywhere practically within 40 miles from my home in any type of job out there and yet either hear nothing at all, which really ir ...


Weird Printer
Jun 23, 2012

I just sent a document to my Hewlett Packard printer and set it for 3 copies.  The first copy was fine.  The second and third copies looked like a new language.  On further inspection, it was obvious that each letter of the alphabet and number was offset by one.  In other words, a became b, b became c, 1 became 2, etc.  When I sent a request to print just one more copy at a time, it printed just fine.  This is undoubtedly the strangest thing that I've ever had ...

Very Weird .wav Playback Problem
Aug 31, 2010

I have some .wav files I need to load into Express Scribe for a potential placement with a company for school. They will not play in windows media player, or Express Scribe. In ES it says "Opening audio file failed." After this I even downloaded other .wav files for school and they work and play just fine. I am totally at a loss as to why these particular files won't play. Another student said they are working fine for her. Any ideas? ...


Weird Command When Editing?
Mar 21, 2011

I have noticed this a few times now.  About halfway into a report, when I hit ctrl+shift+m to jump to where the text is, the cursor goes to the very end of the document.  Whenever I hit ctrl+shift+m after that, it goes directly to the end, never to where the text/audio is synched.  Is there a command that makes this happen that I am doing accidentally?  Anyone know how to reverse this.  It is soooo annoying to not be able to jump directly to where I want to be!! Thanks. ...

Weird Question About Financial Aid For School
Jun 30, 2013

Hi guys, I will go to the local UE office this week and check this out but I was just curious right now..does anyone know if there's any special funding for those who lost jobs due to technology? LOL I know that sounds odd but there are so many programs now and I'm not even sure what to ask for. See, I just got laid off due to voice WRECK and the doctors doing their own editing. I will be drawing unemployment but I am not sure how long I can get it. I am going to go to ultrasound tech ...

Weird Ad Overlapping Dictation Earlier.
Oct 06, 2014

Before the crash, I was in the middle of a report when an ad for an animal shelter came on, encouraging adopting a pet.  It played over and over, drowning out the dictator's voice.  I thought I had triggered it somehow, but couldn't figure out how to get rid of it.  I tried to ignore it, but it was hard to hear the dictation, so I hit "Abandon."  Suddenly, the overlapping voice stopped.  Yay!  I was able to cancel the abandon and finish the report.  S ...
