I am at a loss here and wonder if anyone would know what this would be. History is a patient had a foraminotomy of C4-5. Doctor told the patient he is very happy about the rapid improvement of strength. Then he says -
The doctor who performed the surgery told me during the surgery that the voke potentials that were being monitored improved as the decompression was completed, which is always a very good sign of success.
I cannot find the word voke or something ...
Does anybody know where on MQ Central we can get the Kaspersky anti-virus download? McAfee was messing up, so I downloaded the Kaspersky last week. However, I can't get it to work and now I can't find the software download/instructions anywhere. I'm thinking they deleted it from the site. ...
I am familiar with NT-proBNP, but had QA change it to anti-proBNP for the first time today. Is there an anti-proBNP lab value? I have searched resources, but can't find any information anywhere that would be considered a reliable source. Manager is off today, but I am hoping to get some infor before I come across this lab value again today.
Thanks! ...
I have come up against a drug I have heard of before and cannot seem to find. Does any know the spelling of this drug? Peraxa? Piraxa? Pyraxa? Can't seem to get my mind or search around it to find it.
Any help out there tonight. Don't want to send a blank.
Thanks in advance. ...
Not sure how much good it will do, but here is something interesting. I guess it can't hurt either. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/prohibit-shoring-jobs-decrease-unemployment-keep-financial-health-personal-information-safe-usa/hl0t92Mg?utm_source=wh.gov&utm_medium=shorturl&utm_campaign=shorturl ...

If so, I don't understand why we can't see the messages posted in each forum...
All you see are the latest messages posted.
Just curious if this is the final form of the forums.
P.S. It still says 'SWITH' on the post a new message screen. ...
I will never, never, never understand how all these doctors went through all those years of medical school and learned to be doctors but never learned to speak decent English. I have been wondering this for 8 years, and probably always will. I was led to believe medical school was not easy. I was led to believe learning English IS easy. Pretty soon I guess I will be led to believe that there really are orange and purple polka dotted elephants hiding under the baseme ...
To those of you who have completed a transcription course, who did you go through and why? I don't know if this is too specific to ask here, but I did not see any rules against asking about the schooling. I have been an MT for eight years, and received OTJ training, plus I have an extensive medical background prior to transcribing. However, I have a friend who would like to complete a program, and while I have a few schools/programs in mind to refer her to, I would like to ...
It would be helpful and save time on both ends and lots of paperwork and hemming and hawing if the line rate, hours, bennies, requirements, etc., were given with each ad (I know some do this already) and then people could apply with that knowledge in hand and present themselves accordingly. The correct applicant would be applying for the correct job. Win/win. I mean, what's the big secret? Since we are all lumped together no matter how many years of experi ...
The company I am testing with requires 550 lines per day for part time. I know there are many factors, but on average how many hours does that take? I currently work part time and get paid by the hour. I have never been paid by the line. I really like my current job, but may be laid off in June or July. For now, I would do both jobs. I also have two young children and don't want to take on too much. Any info would be great! ...
Have everyone work on the weekends so there's work come Monday morning. Spend entire days Monday through Friday, 10-16 hours per day, trying to get work, but only being clocked in for 6 to 8. But if you're anything higher than an MLS, you've got it made. You can adhere to your schedule AND have a life. I wish I could write how I really feel about these wage thieves. ...
One thing I haven't seen posted re: Andrews is a reasonable expectation of a timeframe for an experienced MT to complete their program. What has been everybody's experience thus far?
I realize we all have different home situations and some are pulled in more directions than others. I work full-time. Kids are no longer underfoot. Not caring for parents as they are deceased already. No yard to tend.
I've found myself cornered into an untenab ...
This patient could possibly have gout, fibromyalgia, OA, RA, psoriasis...among other possibilities. "Check rheumatology labs, including rheumatoid factor, anti-CCP, ANA, sed rate, CRP, CMP, CBC, Lyme. The patient had a s/l 'dipsticks all the time.' Check an ACE." The doctor did pause after "had a" so that may not be part of the sentence. In that case, it sounds kind of like, "The patient gets sticks all the time." I'm not sure if either makes sense. She does mention ...
I am currently enrolled in the Career Step program and I am wondering how long it took some of you to complete the program. I am a mother to 3 kiddos and I don't have time to work on it every single day. It seems a bit overwhelming if you look at all of the reports there are to transcribe. So, how long did it take for you to complete the program?
Thanks,
MT Mommy 2B ...
