I transcribe a lot of perfusion imaging stress tests for Radiology.

At a service, not usually, they come under acute care sm - acuteMLS

[ In Reply To ..]
at Nuance. I've seen an account or two that regards them as radiology and they have an order that has to be linked, but mostly I've seen them come to me as acute care.

ok...this account does not - sm

transcribe radiology but every once in a while gets a cardiac stress test or exercise tolerance test. I am supposed to reject those. So I was wondering b/c I am a bit confused. Originally just thought x-rays and CT scans but confused on the cardiac tests. I guess I will have to ask. Was trying to avoid that since my questions go unanswered sometimes anyhow (through my TSM). Thank you for the information. This is an acute care account- not radiology.

there is no imaging in a simple exercise tolerance test - sm

An exercise tolerance test is performed on a treadmill and the results are assessed by analyzing the EKG and exercise tolerance parameters. There is no imaging.

An imaging cardiac stress test, such as a myocardial perfusion study, involves nuclear imaging, the uptake of radioisotopes. Nuclear imaging is technically a subspecialty of radiology.

most cardiac nuclear diagnostic testing is performed electively, not acutely - nm

Applying for a new job is a job in and of itself these days. Is anyone else having this ?? All these tests on these job applications. They are sometimes hours long. Some of these test reports are HARD. They are harder than most I do now. I work for MW now. I don't really have time to go through all these tests for hours and hours for FREE. I'm thinking of just not doing it and forgetting about that particular application. One of them I really was interested in too but what if I do all ...

I quit my job due to health issues and my stress level has gone way down. I worked for 8 years here and it was okay. There were tough times, but it was mostly okay because my TSM/CCM left me alone but were accessible if needed. They answered my emails and phone calls (even though there were about 5 or so different ones through the years). It was just aggravating when good accounts would go to ASR. But, I don't have to worry anymore. Hope things get better ...

I am considering going back to school to get an RN. After speaking with a few RN friends in my area I am looking deeper into the possibilities. They recommended our community college with its 2 year degree program. This school also works closely with a major health facility here in town for recruiting. I have been on the hospital's job opening emails and along with multiple openings weekly for RNs (days, nights, and prn) and my nurse friends' agreeing there is a ...

No more microscopic QA dissection for me. My new plan is to shoot the job full of blanks and send it in - far less stressful for sure. Each and every time I hear something that I am not 100% sure of - they get a blank. This is not now nor was it ever MY personal problem. Today I'm quite tired of being penalized for someone else's inability to dictate clear enough to perfectly discern what was said. No more cleaning up sentences either. QA: Verbatim you want? Verbatim you get. ...

I finally got to the point I hated time for work. I went through 2 buyouts and it just seemed to get worse. I have watched QA people busted down due to not getting enough lines per hour, which is impossible when there's not enough work, and when most of the acute care work was 100% listens. I got ONE raise in 7 years yet the duties kept piling on and found out some were making 4.00 an hour more than me in lower positions. On days off you were expected to join meetings no m ...

I've found a wonderful way to reduce stress while working long hours. It reduces dramatically the times I've wanted to choke some of the bad dictators I seem to constantly get. It's called ShoutCast and it's free internet radio. You don't need to download anything if you have WinAmp on your PC. It plays nonstop, no commercials, etc. I keep the volume very low at 1 or 2 on the WinAmp player so it plays in the background through my headset and ...
