Cholesterol panel levels - Fatigued Fingers


Posted: Aug 31, 2011

In all my years as a medical transcriptionist, I have never seen levels as low as these.  I went back and listened several times and I still can't believe what I'm hearing.  Have any of you every heard of levels this low:

Cholesterol was 90, triglycerides 103.  HDL 6, LDL of 64.

could they be saying HDL 60 - maybe

Does Anyone Know Exactly How Many Levels
Dec 11, 2013

Of transcribing/editing a job goes through before making it back to the client?  For example, does it go overseas first and then back to us and we fix what they left behind? Or do we get the job first?  Who does the audits...an actual human or is it ran through some program first? I think a lot of what mm does is hidden from us.  Would not surprise me. ...

I'm newish and I have NEVER seen a report of how much work there is and the DEP thing doesn't work when I try it (it says contact my supervisor for permission). Is my CCM supposed to send out a report of available work? Does anyone know this for sure? I d ...
