All literature, including internet, seems to use arabic numerals instead of Roman numerals. Cannot identify who originated sleep stage classification to definitively determine which. Anyone out there know? ...
Anyone got a solid reference for this?
D: "Exam reveals a sixth nerve palsy."
Does it stay as an unadulterated Roman numeral ("...a VI nerve palsy"), get a superscript "th" (which formatting our system doesn't retain) or does it change to word (as above)?
Thanks! ...
I was always taught that grade is always arabic and stage Roman but someone recently told me that is not the case for orthopedic terms, grade III spondylolysis and grade III medial meniscus tear. Does anyone know if this is correct? ...
I've seen kidney disease classifications both Arabic and Roman. Which is correct? I've been using Arabic, but I just had an editor change a report to Roman. I'm confused and can't find it in BOS2. Thanks! ...
I need documentation about cranial nerves. Got QA edited from using roman numerals, i.e. cranial nerves II through XII versus cranial nerves 2 through 12. According to my notes, either is okay, but QA said preferred way is 2 through 12, and I got "edited" for it. Ugh. Anybody? Thanks. ...
Nothing in BOS, at least that I could find. Couldn't find anything on Loma Linda University site. Don't recognize the Google hits for arabic. Anyone know? Thanks. ...
Also this is treatment for renal calculus, I guess lithotriptsy, but in the name of the procedure he mumbles something starting in what S/L "He______". Any ideas.
Thank you! ...

Doc dictates "omega-3 1000 mg, vitamin B12 1000 mcg, vitamin D3 2000 international units"
My feeling is maybe it should be expanded to "omega-3 one-thousand mg, vitamin B12 one-thousand mcg, and vitamin D3 two-thousand international units," but that feels wrong.
Anyone have any suggestions? ...
Haven't got any feedback from instructors in weeks and any emails to them are returned with "permanent fatal errors". Found 2 other students with the same problem as of today. Would like to know if there are any others. If anyone is affiliated with the VLC school on here I would greatly appreciate some answers. I'm getting really frustrated because I'm nearing the end of the course and have invested $1500.oo and almost 2 years of my time. To wind up with nothing to show for it at ...
I make it a habit to check job boards and listings every day. A couple of places I check a lot are Indeed and Craigslist. (I know Craigslist jobs have to be taken with a grain of salt because some of them are scams.)
This is kind of interesting to me: For some reason, I notice a lot of jobs at veterinary clinics and chiropractors' offices.
It's just curious to me. Are these two types of businesses doing so well that they're always needing more help, or a ...
Hi, I've been an MT for 8 years, but have never, ever typed ER reports. My company has been very slow and I was applying for other jobs and my supervisor just told me she has another account she can add me to and it is an ER account. I'm not sure why I never thought about it before, why ER reports don't get in the regular pool like the rest of the hospital, but was just wondering, is a strictly ER account usually good work to do? Are they just your typical transc ...
Just curious. I see where many transcribers are getting 200-400 lph and I wanted to know what work types they work? Have they had the same account for a long time. What is the secret to getting up to 400 lph????? ...
Here's an idea: How about if dictators are responsible for keying in the RIGHT work type instead of transcriptionists wasting time trying to figure out which one to use, or getting an audit back telling us we used the wrong one when the dictator had keyed it wrong? ...
Does anyone know if it matters if the liver segments are roman numerals or numeric? If you know the answer, give reference to where you find it. Thanks ...
