Someone's got encephalitis! And my Asian doctor is trying to dictate various components to the CSF, which I cannot understand to save my life. It sounds like she might be saying C3, C4, possibly CH50 (I googled this but don't know if it's right). If anyone has expertise in this area or a good site to recommend where I can find out about CSF and what's in it, please let me know. Please please please. ...
"On pelvic exam, there was no bloody show there today. I had her bear down and there was a negative _______. Under the microscope, there was negative Fern. She did have one positive and one equivocal nitrizine test." I think she maybe said "pool" where the blank is...that's what it sounds like. Any thoughts? ...
Hi everyone, thanks for looking at this. I have a discharge summary with a patient with volume overload, renal failure, and electrolyte imbalances, among others. This is an ARNP dictating, and in the plan, she dictates 1500 mL fluid retention. She specifically says retention, but that isn't something they try to do, right? I think it should be fluid restriction, but I don't know if I should change it or flag it. What do you think? Thanks! ...

I would like to know what you see as the pros and cons of your job, esp if you work for one of the larger nationals and, if possible, maybe some idea of what pay range in addition to being an MT one might expect to be offered (or fair), ie, x-amount more per line or hour... thank you v. much for any input. ...

I know where you are coming from. I posted on here a couple of weeks ago that my husband passed away and I did not even get a "kiss my foot" from this company. No card, no email...no anything AND my post was jerked off here in a heartbeat. My CCM knew about it and another friend that works there as well. I am so disappointed in this company... ...
I recently took a job as an IC, thinking it would be great to make my own schedule. HOWEVER, I have to work when the work is there. There is no making my own schedule. The work flow dictates when I work. There is no work on Monday or Tuesday. Maybe a few reports trickle in late Tues, but then more work comes late Wednesday afternoon, then work Thurs, Fri, Sat, and by Sunday no work again.
Account is for clinic docs, no acute care.
Is this the same experience you other ICs are having. I ...
I am an IC. I have read a website that says we as independents get the following. I would love to hear from each one who is in this category and tell me if you as an independent are getting the following:
The site says many companies that hire ICs give full benefits including sick leave, health insurance, sign on bonuses, paid vacations, retirement plans.
Next this site says 6 hours a day is considered a full day for most MTs and lastly it says that we, if compentent enough ...
So I'm still learning the in's and out's of transcribing, hoping that once I finish this course and get my certification and start working it will get easier. Do the doctors ever get the mush out of their mouth???? Anyways, one of my assignments i swear he is saying "

Coumadin 30 mg per day.
Now, I want to make sure I'm not dreaming here, but that is completely incorrect, right?
Maybe I'm having a brain lapse (been an MT for 20 years) but I want to make sure my thinking is correct that this dosage would probably be lethal?
I'm going to leave a blank for the dosage, but I just wanted to double check with my MT friends. I have listened to it many times, and she is positively saying "30 mg per day."
TIA!! ...
