Turns out these stones are in the lower pole of the right lung!!!! I don't know who is more messed up, the doctor, the patient or the VR!
I have three jobs. One full time, a part-time and a part-time (done only once a month).
The once a month job is for done for my pcp (doctor). I no longer have need for the job. I hate to tell my own physician I no longer want to work for him because I feel as a patient he will not treat me the same. Never mix business with business. What can I do? ...
Doctor repeatedly dictates at end of her office notes will see patient back peripherally. When asked about this, she says yes, that is what she means to say. Has anyone heard of "PERIPHERALLY" used in this manner in dictation? If so, what does this mean because I cannot verify this as being correct. Thanks :) ...
I would like to know exactly where else you would get it from when you're doing 8 hours a day, 5 days a week full-time job for one company for the past 20+ years.
No outside of work hobbies or activities to cause it according to patient.
This is workers comp law, according to the doctor. I'm unsure if it's that particular state where the patient resides, but if I were working 40 hours a week at the same job for many years and develop carpal or anything similar, you b ...
We used to use Ctrl + F5 [I believe -- it has been so long, I am not certain] to get to the old records. We would be able to search by the patient's name and MRN.
Nowadays we can use CTRL + O, then ALT + P to get to some of the patient's old files, but many times none are listed, even though the patient has been to the hospital/clinic before.
Will someone please instruct me as to what keystrokes I need to do to get to the old files?
Thanks for any help ...
20 years ago when the DRG's hit the hospitals, one was complaing to the other... "they treat doctors like a bunch of old dogs now". Well, that's how MTs are being treated now. Why on God's green earth do the MT services require all MT's to work at least one weekend day every week (Friday's and Monday's don't count). Every ad I see on the Job Seeker board requires weekends. Are they sadistic or something. Why do we put u ...
We will have the patient seen by anesthesia preop to make sure the pacemaker is properly cared for during the surgical procedure, which requires general anesthesia, and the use of the s/l **bovig** during the surgery. Thanks!! ...
The patient presents today for followup on her right first MTP.

metatarsophalangeal and the word joint after it or can it just be metarsophalangeal? tia. ...
react if we went in their offices and talked so fast that they couldn't understand what we said, if we ate during our visit, or yawned and continued talking? I'm just going to wager a guess that they wouldn't appreciate it very much. Sometimes, I think it would be fun to try just to see their reactions. There are some that I transcribe that if I ever got the chance to do that I would. Have an ESL right now that's talking way too fast. Do they not ...
Rambles on, makes no sense throughout the dictation at all, does not make complete sentences, dictates on a patient in the WRONG chart constantly, follows no format, which is required by YOU, cuts himself off but yet when you can understand him, he has a "bright" moment and makes sense is an absolute joy to transcribe???? Oh, and did I mention that he only dictates every third day even though he sees patients on a daily basis????
Mini-vent over, back to the confusion ...

Document 1836 long. Doctor walked away from phone at 153 and I had to listen to a bunch of garbage. thank you so much for being an incosiderate boob. ...
doesn't actually pause the recording. And saying "Unpause" doesn't make it start again. This isn't even the same doctor that calls me "computer." "Computer go back to the HPI and..." Beam me up!! ...
I got in trouble today because I put a wrong patient. The doctor dictated a billing number, name, and MRN. The MRN was had a different patient, but the billing number and the patient name matched the ADT screen. Not to mention the fact that he kept using "she" in the dictation and the MRN number matched a "he". So logically one would just think he had the wrong MRN and I didn't want another QA submission so I sent it through with the correct billing number, name, and ...
