Doctor is dictating "Assessment and Plan" findings. She is dictating about Restless Legs. She dictates "Looking at his last labs, his (sounds like Endo sees) were low. " Not sure what "Endosees" or "Indosees" or it even could be "NDCs are low." I am not sure what she is dictating. I cannot locate anything close to that. Wondering if it has anything to do the patient's iron level.. any help would be appreciated. Thanks! ...
The doctor is saying "we will also check s/l gassin C as well as an antithrombin III...." I first thought gastrin, but there is no gastrin C and it is not related to a hematologic disorder. Any thoughts appreciated!!! Thanks ...

I just found a local hospital advertising for a path and lab transcription job and am considering applying, but I've never done that type of transcription. I've done numerous others, radiology, hospital, surgical, clinic, etc., but it has been a few years as lately I have been doing clinic work only. Is pathology/laboratory transcription difficult? I realize it's a matter of opinion and just like all other transcription would take time to adjust. I'm g ...
Do some of these lab values seem impossibly high, particularly the AST and ALT? He clearly states these values.

Ok. I have a question about how to properly transcribe PSA values. In every previous job I have had transcribing urology notes, I was told that if they give you a single number like 1,2,3..to transcribe it as 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, etc. I would get in trouble if I left off the .0 after the number. I also think this looks better on paper. However, my editor on this account (who I think is very old-school) says to leave the .0 off. What do you guys think?
I already had ...

I am preparing for the RMT exam.
How much detail of the normal lab values do I need to know? Do I have to memorize all the normal values at the least? I find that impossible.
Do I have to know what test will diagnose for which disease or particular study? For example, do I have to know that white blood cells are involved in the CBC test or that PSA stands for prostrate specific antigen and is a cancer marker?
How much information about the drugs do I need to know?
What kind of lab valu ...

I feel MT is dying a slow death. I want to be prepared. Lab technicians work in an independent setting and get to analyze, dissect, research (love it!) and there are many employment opportunities, but the math scares me. Medical billing/coding and health information data entry would be logical after MT'ing for 15 years, but i'm worried about the outsourcing and the prospect doesn't excite me as much as the lab tech. I'm afraid i'd be stuck in ...
Sorry, my math really sucks and I can't seem to find a site that will 'convert' decimals to regular numbers. If a patient's lab test reads as 23.0 and the doctor dictates it as 23,000 are these both correct ways of putting it? Also had absolute segment coung of 17.48 that was dictated as 17, 480 and bands of 0.23 that were dictated as 230. If these are just other ways of expressing the same number and are all correct, great- I just want to be sure that is the case. I ...
