Sparring with total strangers. - Diane


Posted: Nov 25, 2009

I am used to people acting professional on these boards.

I suggest, to all of you who like to slam people that are total stranters, to at least have the professionalism to address others on this board with some respect.

Hearing acidic remarks from total strangers doesn't invite a professional response.

I thought this was what this board was about.

when someone asks you a question you do not respond. I would say if you do not like the responses here, why post?

It's rudeness that is disturbing.
I have had many responses and have posted many.

Happy Thanksgiving.

It's probably not wise to sign your name on a board in cyberspace.

Why - Because she is not affraid?

Is there the possibility she is going to get hunted down by the "gang of vicious MT's" because she made a true statement on a board? LOL really, some take their MT reality way too far. I applaud you Diane for keeping it real, Old-school style.

Total Hip
Dec 14, 2009

Patient had bilateral total hip arthroplasties.  Under radiographs DR dictates "good calcar s/l nerve resporption."  I know calcar resporption is appropriate in this context, but I have never heard nerve dictated along with it.  Is this common or could I be hearing a stutter?  Thanks! ...


Total Hip Arthroplasty
Dec 08, 2009

A couple of things I just cant understand, this DR sounds like he is drunk this morning! "status post left s/l amelano total hip arthroplasty for AVN with collapse" "internal and external range of motion over the s/l sick or sit joint is quite benign"  Patient received an injection into the SI joint, so I am wondering if he is saying SIC joint.  Is the sacroiliac joint abbreviated in this way sometimes?  Cannot reference that. Dr is getting ESR, CRP and sed rate to make sure there is ...

Jun 04, 2012

of course, most of the lines are VR but, I totaled my lines and the amount of $$ I made.  Then I took the amount of straight typing lines I used to do and x by 8 cpl.  I have more lines doing both straight and VR, BUT less pay.    I averaged 1200/1300 lines per day working usually 6 hours (no set time schedule, just a mandatory "full-time" amount at old job).   Last week, I missed 3 hours of work but did 7068 of a mix of ST and VR.  Made almost 200 bucks les ...


Total System Hours?
Jul 24, 2012

Can someone please explain to me how the "total system hours" are calculated? My manager is always complaining that there shouldn't be a big difference between your hours clocked in on Webclock and your "total system hours" in Enterprise. I am wondering how they calculate these as I know it is not the time that you are clocked into Enterprise. I am guessing that they are somehow able to determine when you are actively working in Enterprise--typing, listening to audio, etc.? The thing that c ...

Total Hip/surgical Report

Could use some help here.  The blank clearly sounds like "mail" or "male" but a previous report done by the same doc, same context, an MT has put the word "Mayo."  I don't think that works here but I don't know what this term might mean. Anybody have any insight?  Here is the sentence: At this point, we took the bed out of Trendelenburg, placed both legs on the ______________ , leaving the foot dropped, and closed our wound in layers. This is at the end of a hip replac ...
