Apostrophe in patients?

Last night I was taken out to dinner by my now full-time employer, his wife, and few other folks who joined us (yes, Imagine that, I actually enjoy spending time with them and they treat employees great.) Someone asked me about my former 10-year career as an MT.... I told them how much I loved the actual job, and then told them what a MESS ASR and EPIC make of a patient's record if it is unedited. I recounted some of the "funny" mistakes (only funny in the fact that AS ...

The physician was speaking very very clearly and yet, the Axis IV diagnoses were not what he said. The diagnoses output was what most patients are diagnosed with, but NOT this patient!!!!! ...

Too broke to see a doctor in several years I finally saw one today and got to witness the "benefits" of EMR. The new patient documents were scanned into the doctor's laptop. The software was not able to translate handwriting, so all that was a waste. Basically the doctor had to go over every question and missed many that did not scan. The only hands-on he did was to look in ears & throat. Everything else he was glued to the laptop trying to type in everything I s ...

Dictators (MDs, PAs, RNPs, etc.) who dictate so fast and so sloppily cannot possibly care about the welfare of their patients. If they did, they would want a clear and accurate record with no room for misunderstanding or errors. Doing the paperwork is part of the job. If you don't want to do it with reasonable clarity, then perhaps you just shouldn't be practicing at all. If I ever meet any of these in person I will tell them flat out how horrible they are and what a terr ...

Tinel's and Phalen's are negative. ...

This dictator keeps stating "12 weeks of age," and I keep doubting myself whether it should be 12 weeks' of age or without an apostrophe? Anyone know? TIA ...

I have suggested referrels to either Dr.s' A/B (Swedish), Dr.s'C /D (University of Colorado), or the Barrow Neurologic Institute. I changed the names for this question. Wondering on any advice for how to type that? ...

I don't own the latest edition of the BOS, but I was told a year or so ago that we drop the apostrophe S on diseases now. For example, it is now Hirschsprung disease instead of Hirschsprung's disease. If you own the latest BOS, can you please verify this for me and tell me what page this is on. I was counted off on QA now for not adding the apostrophe and S. TIA!! ...

I need some advice on correct use of the apostrophe:OB ultrasounds at 8 and 20 weeks were normal. (I think this is correct, no apostrophe needed)Pregnancy is at 38 weeks 2 days' gestation. (I think this is correct)Full-term pregnancy at 38-3/7 weeks. (I think this is correct, no apostrophe needed) ...

It is 6 weeks' gestation ... but is it also 6 weeks' pregnant? - For some reason I have trouble with this. Neither seem possessive to me but the 2nd even less so. Thanks for any clarification. : ) ...

The doctor states: Though I did not mention the words, â��sudden cardiac death,â�� that is certainly my concern. Should I put quotation marks around those words like it is or a single apostrophe or just type it without any punctuation? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! ...

Article on Kevin MD by Jordan Grumet. The doctors are serfs, working for the corporations, just like the MTs. ...

Have a good TSM, so I shouldn't complain too much. But getting sick and tired of comments about taking care of our patients, thanking us for quality care of patients, etc. I know she realizes we are all concerned about our paychecks right now as much as anything else. Not that we don't give a darn about quality, but we are after all working to try to make a living. Corporate is just shoving this quality crap down our throats every chance they get. I am sur ...
