good source of labs for H&Ps that are grouped in proper groups - Just me
Posted: May 24, 2013
Does anyone have a good source of labs for H&Ps that are grouped in proper groups so I can quickly look and know when to put the period and start another group? I'm looking for a quick reference sheet or something that I can refer to without having to go look up the things that I don't remember. I'm trying to learn them all but there are just so many that it's overwhelming at times. I'd even take a Word document if you have created your own references. Thanks. :)
I do not, but... - see msg pls
[ In Reply To ..]When in doubt, use a period instead of a comma between labs. It will come to you eventually.

MT/MLS Advocacy Groups?
Jan 18, 2013
Does anyone know if there are any advocacy groups or something for us out there? I've been seriously screwed over by Nuance in such a huge way that I can't even describe it in the word count most places allow. I was hoping that there was someone, some group, anybody out there that we can go to in our profession for help or advice or whatever. Any help would really be great. Thanks. ...

they can't pass the QA of the apprenticeship and conveniently there are no more MT positions to move to. Would definitely save them money than having a mass layoff and their unemployment account rated accordingly. You never know. The whole timing of this new "program" just seems so suspect. I really hope this isn't the case and those applying and hoping to get in do find it a positive experience, but I think there are too many red flags and the whole timing is suspect, as if it wer ...
Online Support Groups For MTs
May 08, 2014
Reading this site has confirmed what I already knew--that medical transcriptionists everywhere are being squeezed, cut, marginalized, denigrated, demoralized by the current trends in our industry. This has taken a major toll on my emotional, as well as financial health, as it has for many of you. The lack of control we now experience in our work lives exacts a high price from us. With that said though, discussing all the minutia of what's wrong with our employer, dicta ...
Professional/Social MT/Editor Groups In New York City
Dec 20, 2010
Hello, I am a medical transcriptionist and, lately, a medical editor who lives in New York City. I would like to meet fellow MTs/editors in my area for professional and social purposes. I am having a bit of trouble finding data on the Internet that points out MT groups (or even just individuals) in the NYC metro area. I was wondering if anyone had any information about such groups in NYC. Please let me know. Or, if you are an individual MT/editor who just wants to reach out and say "hell ...

Help With Numbers Labs And Vitals
Apr 18, 2013
Can anyone help with any tips on numbers? I work in speech recognition as most of us do now and I am having the hardest time with numbers. The account I am on has high ESL also, but even without that, I can't seem to get values correct 100% of the time to save my life. Examples are hearing a 0 instead of an 8 such as 130 instead of 138 or hearing a 2 instead do a 3 or even in platelets thinking I am hearing a value of 300,000 versus 200,000. If it is a profile that doesn't make sense ...

Check Rheumatology Labs, Including Rheumatoid Factor, Anti-CCP

This patient could possibly have gout, fibromyalgia, OA, RA, psoriasis...among other possibilities. "Check rheumatology labs, including rheumatoid factor, anti-CCP, ANA, sed rate, CRP, CMP, CBC, Lyme. The patient had a s/l 'dipsticks all the time.' Check an ACE." The doctor did pause after "had a" so that may not be part of the sentence. In that case, it sounds kind of like, "The patient gets sticks all the time." I'm not sure if either makes sense.
