new dictator for me, very rapid ESL. Dictates that patient will be premedicated with s/l "Loft C"

Thanks for any help. I will probably be asking for more help as I go through this very difficult assignment.

assignment - no

Testing? - MT

If you are testing for a job, you are better off not asking here because the company is obviously getting a feel for what you can do and what you can't. They are going to wonder how you did so great on the test but can't cut the mustard at work. Make sense?

If this is a school assignment, you may do well on the test, pass, but then not be able to pass a work test.

Almost like going around in a vicious cycle, no?

No, no, no I am not testing. - Laverne

I am so sorry if I gave the wrong impression. I have worked for this company for years. This is not a primary account for me; I'm just helping out over the weekend with this because they are backed up. I have never worked on an oncology account before and this is all foreign to me, especially since the doc is an ESL. Again, I apologize if I stepped out of bounds.

OH okay! - MT

Sorry, when you said "assignment" we got a little wiggy. Good luck.

It should have been a red flag when the S/O stated that this client could not find reliable help, that every kept quitting or just not signing on to work when they were supposed to. They use SR software which has been loaded bugs and developed without the input of MTs (big mistake). I had spent days on tech support lines (unpaid) for problems even the techs could not figure out. Their manuals for the software were for previous versions. They require hardware that cost me ...

The transcription service company that had this account was great, doctors great, but the client has two problem employees that run the show and can make life pretty miserable. They want you to go by the AAMT BOS, but have hundreds of exceptions, which they do not inform you about. Each time you go by the BOS but it doesn't make them happy, they rant in emails with exclamation marks about how you have been told hundreds of times before, when you never have be ...

This patient has prostate cancer, but somehow or other the paraaortic lymph nodes or periaortic lymph nodes are involved. I have googled and found both spellings, but for the life of me I can't figure out which is correct. "This showed a 1.6-cm retroperitoneal lymph node in the low pelvis anterior to the inferior vena cava suspicious for metastatic disease." There are so many lymph nodes in the body. Even looking at an anatomy diagram, I can't figure this out. Help!! ...

In a cancer report, the doctor gave a diagnosis of Stage IIIC T4aN2M0 cancer. Then she later said, He was staged as a pathological T4aN2a. She added the a and dropped the M0. I listened very carefully for the diagnosis and later in the problem list. She does not add the a after the N2 in either place. Does anyone know why it is N2a in one place but just N2 in the DX? ...

I'm preparing to start a new job and they emailed several attachments. On opening them, the data is there in the middle of a bunch of garbled letters and symbols. I was going to let it go and just delete the gargled stuff but this is ridiculous. We thought having Microsoft office would help but it didn't. I was hoping someone here would know what I need to do before I have to call them in the morning. I would really like to fix this on my own but I can ...

Is it typical to only receive a percentage of your edited lines because "editing is faster and better" than straight transcription? I am new to VR, but this seems odd to me. No wonder I am being paid a decent rate. LOL So, when I edit a 50-line report, I only receive 60% of that report. I'm just curious if this across the board with all companies?? ...

I don't remember being notified that we will no longer be receiving a production bonus with our twice a year audit. I'm not sure what else she can take away from us at this point.
