QA or QC or whatever filled in the following - blank

Posted: Jan 30, 2015

I had: _______ ischemic changes. I couldn't make out the word directly before (seriously slurring ESL).

The blank was filled in with "anicteric." ???? Is there such a thing as anicteric ischemic changes? I can't find reference this this anywhere.

I want to make sure before I try to reverse this.

blank - tootsie

anicteric means without jaundice, good health in body or mind; free from infirmity or disease.

definitely ask for a re-listen and hopefully reversal. ALSO - trapped

not only that, I've lately noticed QC judgment calls are deteriorating. In one of my jobs, I saw they actually replaced "restlessness" with "rustiness" !!!!! They didn't ding me for it, for some reason, but I'm certainly asking for a reversal anyway.

anicteric ischemic - rock bottom

The way to research is to look up the words in a medical dictionary or encyclopedia either online or paper copy. You will find what each word means and realize that anicteric ischemic makes no sense at all.

However, that may have been dictated and if so, it should have been left blank.

I did already know what anicteric meant - which is why I blanked it

So the big question now is: If the client catches that and they send it back (hence I get another audit) do I get busted for that or can they tell that it was filled in and that I blanked it? Sigh.......

when I get something like this, blank because it makes no sense - I leave the comment

that the phrase makes no sense, just to CYA (cover your [my] @$$) and it goes through as a blank without being filled in. It CYA so they don't have to wonder "what was she thinking, its clear as a bell!!" We all know at this point, its probably even hard for them to think straight.

Also, the client sees it if you leave a remark, which I always do in cases like this, to CYA. I think that's why QA/QC leaves those alone, because the client can see the rationale of a blank on a clearly spoken, albeit incorrect word. Probably another reason N does not want us to make comments, they can't deduct a point from us if the client agrees!

OP said QA/QC filled it in. That is why she is questioning it. - nm

QA or QC... - AnonQC

No, there is no such thing. Totally guessing I would think "anterior."

If you sent it to the client with the blank, it was QA. If not, it was QC.

QA or QC, these are 2 different groups - AnonQC

If she was able to send it to the client with a blank, QA filled it in post audit.

If she sent it for a 2nd listen before going to the client, QC filled it in.

Either way, it's obviously incorrect; I was just trying to clarify.

people can be so stupid, or oblivious, to the fact that they have an over-abundance of MTs during the week that run out of work on a constant basis but, on the weekends, work is over-flowing to the tune of "help help help". Can they not figure out that if they would cough up just a few more cents a line for someone to cover weekend shifts, and offer it IN HOUSE first, that this all could be eliminated? Of course, I don't know why it amazes me. These people never were in the tra ...

If a doctor says something that a third grader would know is nonsense and the MLS leaves a blank, why does the QC person fill it in? We're supposed to use critical thinking skills, but yet they fill in something stupid when it's blatantly wrong. Then, we get an email with all kinds of information regarding normal laboratory values and we are supposed to use critical thinking skills for all that and determine when it is normal or abnormal. Oh, I'm still waiting for my MD degree t ...

Got an e-mail from TransTech that the positions for the rad MT job posting on the Job Seeker's Board dated 3/6/2012 are filled, however, the posting is still listed here, so not sure what the real deal is. I'm sure someone from their company will see this post then remove the ad. But, I do wonder if they just don't want to hire and pay a good line rate for an experienced MT. If anyone else applied for this posting, did you also receive that e-mail? ...

I bought a computer that I used for work (100% work, nothing else). I know I file 4562, section 179, but I am having the hardest time trying to figure out where I am supposed to put the information. It's just the computer and nothing else. I read that I do not have to depreciate this, it falls under eligible property. Just confused where to put the info. I'm filling out the forms by hand.

Hi, I am new to the independent contractor thing, but shouldn't a company that has "hired" you as an independent contrator have your SS and a 1099 filled out by you? Just wondering as it seems to me this is necessary and since it is not being done, it makes me wonder about this company that much more, espcially since others have stated they have not been paid by this company. I guess if they are not planning on paying me they don't need a 1099 or SS# huh? ...
