This is a long-term use indwelling catheter for urinary incontinence. The doc says this word 5 times, and each time it sounds different. ? Swahili tube, Spot PE tube, Spapeve tube, Spa-TV tube. Any ideas? ...
I'm having trouble with this word..."Blood glucose measured post(s/l preendly) 100 mg/dL. I have no idea what he's saying here. Also, I've never transcribed dL before. That is how it was online...is this correct? ...
Dictated:
I have asked if he has another attack that he go to the emergency room so that an s/l on-face HIDA scan can be performed to see if there are abnormalities of the biliary tree during an acute attack.
Thanks for any help. ...
I managed to squeak through the rest, but the drainage at the end stumps me.
"Prior to closure, *15 round Foley colluded blade* drains are brought out through lateral stab incisions secured with 2-0 nylon suture." Thanks! ...
Is there any clear way to know how I&D should be expanded? Am I correct to assume irrigation and debridement for a wound and incision and drainage for an abscess?
What about for a paronychia? Right now I have a patient who was I&D'd recently for a paronychia, which is an abscess, so I assume it was incised and drained, but it also says the nail was debrided. ...
Doc is describing an ultrasound on a patient with right upper quadrant pain. "Ultrasound showed common bile duct stone with mild s/l uppastreen biliary dilatation. The gallbladder showed flush with gallbladder wall irregularity."
This is an ESL Asian doc. I'm really not sure what I'm hearing. Anybody have an idea? Thanks. ...
Patient is having evaluation for tonsils and adenoids. Doc says: "Patient had a s/l clerbitous postnasal drainage. No mass or lesion noted in the oral cavity."
He speaks really fast, so this might even be "clear something nasal drainage." I'm just not sure what this might be. Any ideas? Thanks. And the "a" could just be a pause. Again, not sure.
...
I mean I must have come across this before and if I have and have typed pussy drainage, I guess I never really thought it sounded funny... but tonight it does and Im totally confused. With pus translate to pussy when describing a wound's drainage? Or should I change it to pus-like drainage? ...
The conference calls are over, the paperwork will soon be sent in, and rumors have been put to rest, at least I think they have been. I am encouraged because D seems to be more at the helm than I thought she was going to be. She answered a question yesterday which made things more clear about the rate cut. I said a long time ago that 10 or 11 cpl was not going to fly forever. You charge only what the market can bear, and in this economy it cannot handle those rates. ...
MQ has made big changes to my primary account. Now things are all messed up and because of it, we have to re-enter redundant information in the ADT screen. For example, it says ADT Attending and ADT Admitting with the doc's names. Those aren't carrying over to the report now, for some reason, so we have to re-enter those docs names in the additional ADT field under attending and admitting. Also, all of the reference repository stuff is gone. It now says th ...
She started out the dictation yawning and apologized for it the first time but then went on to do it 3 or 4 more times. It's a good thing I'm near the end of my night because now I'm yawning like crazy. ...
assigning me the garbage work just because you "think" I can do it. Had to vent, really sick of it! Between the ESLs and the stuff where people say things that do not make sense I am really getting fed up! Sorry, had to vent. I know you read this and I know you know who is this. ...
No one is going to do it for us. There is wage theft, minimum wage, changing of timecards, disrespect for our knowledge, ridiculous working conditions, bad management, and no communication.
MTs have been left completely out of the conversation, and they are the MT in MTSO. How bizarre is that?
I think everyone should just walk away from their keyboards. We won't know what the result of an action like that will be until we take it, and hold a positive intent on beha ...
I really hope this doesn't get redirected. I meant to put it on the Main Board. I want to send out a request for more VR and dictation funnies. MTStars has gotten so depressing lately, and I could really use some laughs. ...
