I think the preferred way is 5% to 10% with a percentage sign after each number. One of the radiologists I transcribe for corrected me on that years ago and I have never forgotten it.
What is the correct way to write an address on correspondence? I have to address something to Main Street, Suite 100. I was taught to type it as Main St Ste 100, but it looks wrong. Can anyone verify that I'm doing it correctly? ...
I used to know this, but have forgotten, since no one I've typed has used this term in such a long time.
The sentence is: "A percutaneous single-ought cannulation was made of the right internal jugular vein".
Would you put " a 0 cannulation was made,", or "a 1-0 cannulation was made?" Or "a single-0 cannulation"? Or should it be spelled out, "single-ought"?
I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere, and my ...
I was curious so when my least favorite dictator came up a little
while ago, I decided to count how many errors in her report.
It was an approximately 8 minute report, approximately
89 lines. There were 35 errors. These were not all one word
errors. There were dates wrong, vitals wrong, of course medication list was a mess as usual. I did even take the time to look
at another report to look for an allergic med I didn't understand. The med she mentioned was not on the list on the old ...
I'm an ex-Transcender and when I was approving my time sheet this morning I noticed that my time sheet said my percentage sent to QA was 20.2%. I have NOT sent this many reports to QA as blanks, but have sent a lot of stuff due to discrepancies, no demographics match, no dictation, etc. Are they seriously counting stuff that we have NO control over against us for purposes of denying bonuses? I asked my TSM if that would be the case after we got news of the new pay cuts and ...
...when they need a boatload of us "unfavorables" to resign so they can hurry up and give former QC (previously it was the team lead) people our slots.
Nuance should realize that, at the very least, some of us have learned to transcribe right through their stupid bogus scripts, some have even had the same script twice, it has happened so frequently, and we have learned how to do screen shots and keep meticulous records and ... warn others about it.
So, especially you folks who have been ...
I'm interviewing with this company this week. Can anyone give me recent experience with this company? Is the pay fair? How user-friendly is their system? Can you give me info on medical benefits such as deductible, percentages, or cost for single? Really any recent information is very helpful and much appreciated. Thank you! ...
Hi, eveyrone. I just started as an MT in Michigan, and I am going to be working from home fairly soon. I am moving back to New York for my music degree and transcribing in my free time. Problem: I have a very old laptop that is starting to fall apart. The keys don't always work and, although it is my baby, I can not keep using it for transcriptions. My boss had said he heard that we could write off a new laptop as an expense (much as flight attendants can write off their own laptops and mak ...
The doctor says, " CK of fifty-nine-three-nine-four".
59,394?
59.394?
59-394?
59/394?
50, 93, 94?
Thanks in advance for any and all enlightenment you can bestow upon me. My brain is a fried mess - time for a break! ...
Has anyone heard of or worked for this transcription company? If so, what are your thoughts and more specifically on average how many billable monthly lines are available at this transcription company? Is the work steady or sporadic? Thanks in advance for your comments. ...
Does anyone know if there is a new rule in MQ land about never writing out the date, always making it numbers only? I get back reports every once in a while with all the written dates crossed out and replaced with numbers yet the CP does not specify either way. So, when a doctor states March 3, 2010..that is how I type it, if he states 03/03/2010, that is how I type it. I am going to complain to my manager about this but I was wondering maybe I missed a new rule. Tha ...
The doctor is dictating a white count number and he distinctly says "Thirty-eight thousand point 4." (The patient has CLL). How would you write this number? My guess is 38,000.4 ...
What is the prope way to type this out:
five-tenths of a cc.
I have been typing 0.5 cc, but I am thinking maybe it should be 0.05 cc. Please help set me straight! Thanks! ...
ASR: tachy fell axis
I am wiping the tears from my eyes on this one. What a stupid program. I swear it is written by the Indians. I had a wonderful English-speaking clear-as-day doctor yesterday, first name of Daniel, and the ASR did not get 75% of his dictation. It was just words and gibberish. It was a crying shame. That could have been a helpful tool in that instance. It should have been able to transcribe him perfectly and editing should have ...
In some sentances they say 5 out of 5 to muscle testing, sometimes 5 minus out of 5, or 4 plus out of 5. I am not allowed to use the + or - sign. I've got the 5/5, but is it correct to put 5 minus/5 or just type out 5 minus out of 5. ...
I'm drawing a complete blank. Is the proper way 3/4 cm, or three quarters cm, or 0.75 cm? Nothing in Google is helping me figure this out. It's throwing me math equasions to do and now I'm just confused. Any help is appreciated. ...
I now the pH scale, but I'm confused by what this doctor said.
"...her pH remained low at 717"
She said "Seven One Seven." She speaks clearly, so I'm confident she is saying this. No other pH levels are given in the report. ...
Doc says "It does not appear from observations of in here that he crosses the line into being hospitalizable against his will."
From my understanding, hospitalizable is not a word. How yould you reword this sentence? ...
The patient's peritoneal carcinomatosis index is 34. This is as follows: Region 03, region 13, region 23, region 33, region 42, region 53, region 63, region 73, region 82, region 92, region and 102, region 112, region 123. The small bowel serosa surface and had minimal disease.
They were dictated as region zero 3, 1 3, etc. Im thinking maybe I should have them as 0-3, 1-3, etc all the way down the line to region 10-2, 11-2, 12-3??? ...
just do along and work? I was writing job # and which hospital and work type but its time consuming and I don't see the point because I hope not to be here much longer. ...
that say nothing? I need to learn how to do that. Can anyone explain why we have 2 different speech engines (that's what I gather from the email anyway, but I'm only a college graduate). Two engines are better than one? ...
