isnt that a really negative thing to say to someone? Correct me if Im wrong. It is my impression that a coder will need to know BOTH. Right or wrong? Some people seem to think they should just wait until 2013 and only learn ICD-10 I guess. ...

I got an e-mail about procedures for canceled reports and when I asked the CCM, I didn't get an answer. Then I e-mailed the mentors (for when we need to talk to somebody about a problem), and she was responding to the mentor e-mails. She said " I noticed you asked the mentors this, so again, you are asking and taking up 3 people's time." Actually, I only e-mailed her and the mentor. Every time this one lady dictates a report, she spends a lot of time with side conversat ...

I am not a medical transcriptionist. I usually do general transcription. I have a doctor speaking, using some terminology I cannot find. May I give you a phonetic description of what I think he is saying? If anyone recognizes this, could you please give me some suggestions on what you think he is saying. I'm hearing "brocoderal species" that causes "glanders amyloidosis". Does this ring any bells for anyone? ...

20 years ago when the DRG's hit the hospitals, one was complaing to the other... "they treat doctors like a bunch of old dogs now". Well, that's how MTs are being treated now. Why on God's green earth do the MT services require all MT's to work at least one weekend day every week (Friday's and Monday's don't count). Every ad I see on the Job Seeker board requires weekends. Are they sadistic or something. Why do we put u ...

Need some help with these terms that are some type of eye surgery. They are mentioned in the past medical history. Resident dictates what sounds like "rule-op-sis" to the right eye (spells this rulptoss, which I am sure doesn't spell anything!) and "lul-pop-tosis" to the left eye (spells this lulptosos, which also doesn't spell anything!). I would greatly appreciate any ideas you have! I am on my last nerve with these students, residents, foreign doctors, etc., being ...

I am curious as to how people who work for DSG feel about DSG in terms of their work flow and if you have enough work to fill a 40-hour week. If you prefer private e-mail, that's fine. Not looking for either slamming or touting the company, but I do want OBJECTIVE information, which would include if you run out of work consistently or, conversely, if you have plenty of work to keep you going 40 hrs a week. Just the facts please. "I run out of work all the time," "I have plenty of ...

A post on the company board got me to think about what it is we (as MTs) need in terms of pay. Does 3 cpl provide for you and your family (if you have dependents)? Does 12 cpl provide that need? What is your daily average of income regardless of whether it is voice recognition or straight income? Do you have a bottom line that you will not cross or will find something outside of medicatl transcription? I will post separately my personal need and hope others will share theirs. ...

What is going on with those main terms? My coding textbook keeps wanting me to identify the main term, but I can't figure out which one it is.

Does this mean I am not cut out to be a coder? ...
