Cranial nerves - arabic or roman #s - ADHI? - KateMT
Posted: May 20, 2010
I need documentation about cranial nerves. Got QA edited from using roman numerals, i.e. cranial nerves II through XII versus cranial nerves 2 through 12. According to my notes, either is okay, but QA said preferred way is 2 through 12, and I got "edited" for it. Ugh. Anybody? Thanks.
Cranial nerves - arabic or roman #s - Oldtimer
[ In Reply To ..]Per AAMT it says "cranial nerves
Use arabic or roman numerals for cranial nerve designations. Be consistent. (Employer or client will often indicate preference.)
cranial nerve 12 cranial nerve XII
cranial nerves 2-12 cranial nerves II-XII Copyright (c) 2002 American Association for Medical Transcription"
So either is allowed. If any points were taken for that error, I would dispute it based on AAMT guidelines. There is nothing in DQS that states our company prefers arabic to roman in this instance. I am not a QA, but I am an MME and I personally use roman numerals for cranial nerves all the time and have never been called for it. That would be my take on it anyway. Ask where it is documented that Medquist prefers 1-2 versus II-XII. If it isn't documented, they can't charge you points for it. Good Luck.
Ya, I was taught arabic 1,2,3,etc. - Grady

ADHI Vot For Mandatory Credentials
Aug 15, 2010
Did they vote to give themselves all a raise too? They can have thier little votes amongst themselves until the cows come home. It's never going to happen! Not as long as so much work is allowed to be outsourced over seas. It would be different if they were actually advocates for MTs and the industry as a whole, instead of promoting their own agenda. Then, maybe they would actually be respected by the MTs themselves. We need hea ...

For example, The owner sends emails to all the ICs letting them know what is going on with the company as a whole, rather than keeping everyeone in the dark and having everything be all hush hush and on a need to know basis. We get paid weekly and get $50 each quarter for passing our audits. ...
What Is The ATA? The Sound Like ADHI In Sheep's Clothing

I just saw a posting by the ATA. They sound like ADHI (wolf) in sheep's clothing. Their "dues" are also astronomical.

If anybody not from ATA has more information on this groop please inform me. ...
