Have you ever had one of those nights where you are doubting everything you transcribe? Okay, how would you transcribe "follow up" in this sentence.

For MT, "recognition" knowledge of med terms and anatomy is required. It isn't usually necessary to DO anything with that knowledge. In other words, the MT doesn't have to make decisions based on the knowledge. Coding requires that you use the knowledge. Here are some situations that come up for coders in general. Can you answer these without looking anything up? A particular colonoscopy code can only be used if the scope reaches a p ...

This doctor is doing an eye exam and he says..."The conjunctiva is quiet. The cornea is clear. The (s/l inputrum) is deep with rare cells. The intraocular lense is well centered." What can he be saying? ...

I don't know if I should be asking this on the main board - let me know if I need to move it over there! I am just wondering if any of you have a favorite and/or great online human anatomy site? I have looked at a few but just haven't found "the one" yet. Maybe it's better to get a book? Opinions please! ...

Hi all. First of all, wow- thank you so much for all of the great information in this section. I am a student at Andrews for medical coding and enjoying it so much. I'd like to supplement what I am already learning and go a little deeper into Anatomy and Physiology. My library has Great Courses DVDs that look promising. If you enjoyed a particular set of DVDs or a lecture available somewhere online, I'd love to know about it. It is extremely importan ...

For any MT students or new MTs I would suggest this book. It's been around for years. It has very detailed, labeled drawings of anatomical structures that you color in (need colored pencils or fine-tipped markers) I had one of these years and years ago (before I knew what an MT was). Helps you visualize the anatomy and remember the names of the structures. I had fun with it... ...

Bowel resection, doc states " A 3-0 silk S/L "pop" was then used to create stay sutures at the S/L "tinu or tinea" border of the transverse colon as well as the antimesenteric border." Thanks in advance, I'm sure this is a simple word but I just can't think about what it is ...

Doc says: "There was an obvious tumor mass just above the left upper lobe s/l pickoff." I cannot for the life of me figure out if this is a real term or slang or if I'm hearing it totally wrong. Anyone know? Thanks in advance. ...

Looking for a male anatomy term that sounds like tragus or introitus. The sentence is "He had a Hibiclens prep and sterile draping of his abdomen, left thigh, scrotum, penis, and _____". It sounds like he is saying introitus but with a g like introigus. Can't find anything. ...

And one can only hope that VR will suffer a similar fate very, very soon! And in a not so nice way. Along with the MTSOs that have tried to foist this CRAP on us. JMHO, of course! ...

MT'ers transcription may not be dead after all. I had an interview with a local hospital that has many clinics and outside services. They have had all of their transcription outsourced aside from various departments in the actual hospital. However, they have discovered a better quality of work if they keep their work onsite. They are pulling ALL of their services back to using on-site transcriptionists. Some at home work after training, but there will be no MTS ...

I do highly recommend it http://www.learnanatomyphysiology.com/ ...

It seems the schedule reservation "go live" in my area has now been cancelled until further notice. I'm in the north region and wonder if any other areas have been using it successfully. With all these so called improvements coming our way, I'm having a hard time remember what's what. Does this mean the swapboard isn't going to work anymore or just the schedule/DQS factor with the work allowance of 15 minutes prior/after scheduled shift? I'm ...

The problem with making money with ASR is, I swear my fingers are moving just as much, but all over the board, not how we all learned to go fast, fingers on the home keys and move from there. My hands are trying to fly all over....arrow keys, end, ctrl/shift/arrow to highlight, over to delete, try to find my way back, only to move off home keys to arrow some more. If I could connect a pedometer on my fingers, I know it would show they are moving just as much without the same producti ...
