In a verbatim account: "patient is into" (doc lists medications)... Patient is into?? Very clearly said. "there are no labs available on the chart."

Okay........ now don't laugh at this question. I recently had to pull up another transcriptionist's report, and came across something I've never seen before. I couldn't find the formatting this MT used anywhere else, so I am wondering if any of you have. I always type "90th percentile", "56th percentile", etc. when peds are talking about growth charts. This MT typed "90%tile", "53%tile", etc. Is that actu ...

I have 18 years experience in acute care transcription in just about everything except "pathology transcription." I have done a lot of ops of all kinds, oncology, neurology, cardiology, infectious disease, etc. Is Pathology transcription that different? I've done tumor staging, chemo protocols, just about any type of EEG, TEE, cath, radiology, etc. The reason I'm asking is I saw a job for a "Pathology transcriptionist" and I really believe I'm qualified with my knowledge, ...

Does anyone know if there is a new rule in MQ land about never writing out the date, always making it numbers only? I get back reports every once in a while with all the written dates crossed out and replaced with numbers yet the CP does not specify either way. So, when a doctor states March 3, 2010..that is how I type it, if he states 03/03/2010, that is how I type it. I am going to complain to my manager about this but I was wondering maybe I missed a new rule. Tha ...

I need this information when I'm taking a test to find a job because the doctor has not been giving the year and from what information I've read I should type out the date as December 4th??

Archives are divided -- half happy and treated well and doing the work they expected to do, paid on time, good benefits.

Thanks. ...
