I haven't ever heard this phrase before and wondered if someone could tell me what it is/the correct way to transcribe it. Patient has facial trauma after high-speed motor vehicle collision.
...and on arrival had imaging workup with a traumagram and "max face" CT. ...
She/they are never ever. EVER. going to tell you what you want to hear on these calls. Ever. They tell us things we already know - what our collective concerns are via the employee survey, that they're oh-so-excited about this and that - things that will pad THEIR paychecks, not ours - and spout off a bunch of useless "statistics" that not one of us cares about - pretty much how successful THEY are as a company, not us as the MTs. Pass on some of that wealth! Again, if you' ...

HEENT is remarkable for "perlash"

Perlash? I can't finding anything. It is pretty clear.

The other day I emailed my "boss" asking for a reversal on
a FIESA because the report came through with no information
but the dictator's name. I got dinged because when
I did a search to find the person, a piece of information
was incorrect. Not something he verbally said, just
something I'm supposed to know for this account
which has a bazillion different entities.
Of course, she was off for most of the holiday week
and just got back to me, wondering what my point was
be ...
This used to be a career where many of us were able to ride the gravy train for awhile. Don't get me wrong, we really worked hard for our money. But, back in the day, we either had our own accounts and kept the entire cpl, or we worked for an MTSO who subcontracted to us or hired us to transcribe and we got a bigger piece of that cpl pie. I made some fantastic money even 12 years ago. I was working on tapes or rerecording on from my Skutch box.
The years have advanc ...
Yesterday I got a call from Support asking questions about my system for the upcoming ebtxt migration. When I told him I had satellite, he actually laughed and then turned to his coworkers, joked to them about it, and they all laughed too.
When I asked what was so funny, he was taken aback, as if he didn't expect me to be offended by his behavior. He then apologized and mumbled something about satellite having a slow download time.
Not only was his behavior unprofessiona ...
Typed a friendly, clear, efficient doctor on an account I have never heard of before and will probably never have again, but he was dictating on a "pleasantly demented woman" and exam was "a little difficult" due to the fact that she "sang throughout the entire exam."
It just made me smile to think of the elderly lady sitting there singing while he was trying to listen to her heart and lungs.
I'll take whatever smiles I can get these days...

in a few months. I get direct deposit and rarely check my pay stubs on line. I've been doing significantly more lines this month so I wanted to see exactly what I make per line on ASR. I went from 6.75 to .555!! What? I am SO upset and disappointed. Why didn't they tell me about this huge cut in pay? Here I was calculating my lines at the 6+ rate, only to see on my pay stub that I've been making substantially less per line. I feel sick! I am going to contact my supe, but I don ...

Doctor states - There was tenderness to palpation mainly at the medial aspect of the knee. There is no calf swelling or tenderness and the XXXXXX was intact.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

to announce it by now. Rather, it's end of year, they are frantically trying to hire new MLS who don't know any better and will be locked into the crappy exciting compensation plan while there is the expected stampede for the door. Can't get any lower than that. I wonder how much they paid a committee or team to think up this plan. ...
Orthopaedic IME report.

Can someone clarify?
Thanks! ...
I'm finishing up an operative report on a transrectal ultrasound-directed prostate biopsy. The sentence reads: The patient confirms mechanical and s/l "prolonged" prep within the hour.
Does that sound right?
Thanks -- ...
Does “vigorous pinprick” to the face sound correct to you? I’m imagining the doc stabbing needles into the patient's face.
"Cranial Nerve V: She reports no facial sensation other than in her forehead, though with vigorous (s/l pimpering), she does flinch but says she still does not feel it." ...
When I type a sentence such as: "The patient was referred to Surgical Service", the word "Service" is capitalized since it is a specific service in the hospital.
When the dictator says: "The patient was referred to the Anesthesia Team", would the word "Team" be capitalized also?
Thanks for your help! ...
We will have the patient seen by anesthesia preop to make sure the pacemaker is properly cared for during the surgical procedure, which requires general anesthesia, and the use of the s/l **bovig** during the surgery. Thanks!! ...
transferred to another BOB? I have to get away from this CCM. She has no idea what she's doing, she's very rude, and she's making my job miserable. If I can't get transferred, I'm going to quit. ...
