I do this with all "stage" "type" "class" things: diabetes, cancer, sprain...
I have never had anyone complain or instruct me to do it another way. It means the same thing, and whether or not it is "proper" does not seem to matter to the most dictators.
Is stage capitalized or not as a general rule? What about as it pertains to renal? And do we now use arabic or roman numerals? - perplexed! Thanks for your help!! ...
The patient has sleep apnea and doc says probably have to come back for s/l refeeding and possible face mask and pressure use.
Could be repeat, but did not know if the term refeeding is relevant to sleep apnea ...
I just did that. I was just so tired that I just transcribed a whole 4 minute job while doing what I think was sleeping. If felt good so it must have been some kind of sleep. I was saved by the phone. My husband called and woke me up and I looked up at the screen and it was an utter mess! I repeated lines over and over and typed gibberish. I went even as far and complex to hold down the shift key for brackets. I don't know why I did that when I didn't even need them. I'm s ...
On a sleep study/pulmonary somnography report, under the heading "Paramaters Studied" the doctor says "MM8." Does anyone know if this is correct or should it be MM-VIII or other ? I can't find anything on this with googling. Thanks. ...
Doing a consultation in which the doctor is trying to figure out if the patient's has sleep apnea. He says a list of reasons:

I'm sure he can't actually be saying large Mexican friends, but I can't hear anything else! ...
I had a discussion with a friend that paid like 400 dollars to clean a bug off her computer..I think she got scammed but thats a whole other topic...The person "fixing" her computer was Indian.. He told her we used to get paid terribly, but now I get paid real well. Hum, I wonder why? Maybe cause now that they have all our jobs and our information, they can demand higher wages and the companies must acquiesce or risk some major hacking scam? So here is my bet, IF and I say if, medical transcr ...
All literature, including internet, seems to use arabic numerals instead of Roman numerals. Cannot identify who originated sleep stage classification to definitively determine which. Anyone out there know? ...
The other day the doc dictated "stage IV, baseline 3.5". Since BOS states to use roman numerals with stages, how would you transcribe the 3.5? The above is exactly what I transcribed but don't know if it is correct. ...

Doctor states final pathologic staging as "T4B 2A M1A."
I've researched it individually and came up with T4b IIA M1a, but I'm unfamiliar with cancer staging, so if anyone can confirm whether this is right, I'd appreciate it a lot. Thank you! ...
