Brainiacs wanted!! (need help with EEG report) - starstruck


Posted: Dec 30, 2010

This Asian doc is dictating an EEG report. He says: "There is high amplitude delta [probably waves/activity] that is associated with s/l clef seizure or right arm movements."  I can't find what type of seizure this might be.  I suppose it could even be "left" seizure, but I'm not sure.  Anyone with EEG experience who'd care to share??

seizure - see message

Can you hear epileptic seizure?

Check to see if you might be hearing "right eye movements".

epileptic seizure is a good suggestion - starstruck

[ In Reply To ..]
This Asian doctor frequently drops the last syllables of words (or else adds an "s" to things--like gallbladder, no less), so your idea about epileptic is probably right. He definitely was saying "right arm movements," though, but I suppose it could be some type of convulsing during the seizure. Thank you so much for taking time to help.

Wanted To Go PT
Jun 04, 2013

My plan was to retire PT and work PT, however, I was told MModal is no longer allowing employees to go PT only if you are grandfathered in.  Yet, today I see on MTJobs MModal is looking for PT workers.  If I do not go PT, I will lose quite a bit of money monthly from SS retirement.  I also was told we are only allowed to take 3 sick days a year.   ...

Something Noticed On The Job Wanted Board,
May 04, 2010

your job-hunting results.  There are a lot of people with 10-20+ years' experience seeking work.  I'm in the same boat.  My experience so far has been that NOBODY is interested in hiring older, highly-experienced MTs.  Any of you starting to feel that vibe? So I'd be interested to know what sort of results you get from the Jobs Wanted board.  When you truthfully state your many years of experience, are you getting any offers?  Are they willing to com ...
