Is pedal pulse and pedis pulse basically the same or different? if different, what is the difference? ...

How would I write "pulse ox" in this sentence? "Still not interested in an overnight pulse ox, which I wanted to get last visit." I've seen it every which way (pulse ox, Pulseox, PulseOx, etc.) online and I'm not entirely sure which one is correct, if any. Thanks!! ...

I'm trying to figure out what this doctor means. He's dictating the vitals signs and says "pulse DT and regular." He's clearly saying "DT" (not "DP" or "PT"), but I can't reference it anywhere. Any help? Thanks :) ...

At the end of the survey, there is a section for comments. Although I'm sure this survey will change/help nothing, being able to leave this comment did make me feel a little better: By far, this is the worst company I've ever worked for in over 25 years. Punitive QA and FIESA errors counted as major, which are NOT. At Webmedx, I received an incentive for lines typed, NOT based on trumped down QA scores to keep me from obtaining it. Since Nuance entered my life ...

Is it possible for a patient to have a pulse rate of 178? That seems really high and doesn't help when the doc is mumbling, but that is what she says. As a background, the pnt is 66 years old and is in for chest tightness and difficulty breathing and has had sob for 3 days. 178 seems high, but unsure if its okay ...

My speech rec continually transcribes "pulse ox" as "pulsox". I have never seen it this way before -- thoughts on whether this is an acceptable format (since abbrevs are allowed) or should be changed to "pulse ox". Thanks! ...

Certainly nothing new to be confused over QA, but this one is really confusing me. Perhaps I missed the memo. I had mL changed to cc by QA. Yes, dictator stated cc, but I surely do remember being told to use mL instead so why was it changed to cc....not sure. The other change was 12 mm changed to 12-mm. Confused by this one as well.....that's my typing vent for the day! Thanks for listening : ) ...

I am not sure if I should ask on this board or not. I have read the chatter back and forth and .... oh my! I am still in school at Allied (not sure if it is considered a good school or not), but I am very confused about formating. I am sure in the real world the company that employs you will give you what format to use. However, in school I am suppose to know. Enough rambling! What I am confused about is the subheadings. As I transcribe the various pract ...

I read on this forum that Keystrokes pays well.....I was offered a position with them doing Radiology and they only wanted to pay me $1.00 per report. That is crappy!!!!

OK I get NJA, change Schedule Source to work availability, then I get a job 10 minutes into it, now what? I know I don't get paid for 10 minutes of NJA/work availability. Clock out and back in under production? Will I get in trouble for the 10 minutes of work availability? Then if I get NJA again, clock back out of production and back into work availability and SEE if it goes the full 15 minutes??????????? I need a tutorial on this I guess. Any suggestion ...

the posters were as well. You have to punch out of production to change to "work availability" and I was under the impression you can't type while in "work availability" so you have to clock out and back in under "production" if you get a job during that 15 minute wait period. I am in agreement that it is ridiculous, but if I think the whole day is going to be slow I just want to wait the required 15 minutes and be RELEASED for the rest of my shift, however, it is so confu ...

I just took an online test and I found it rather easy and they said I didn't pass and then suggested more training. WTH??!! I have over 20 years experience and maintain a 99% QA. There is no way I didn't pass that. I could see if I thought it was hard but I even double checked my answers even if I knew they were right. Anyone else ever have this happen? ...

Would you take an insurance transcription job at WorldWide Transcription that pays .06 per line, has lots of work, and offers a M-F schedule. The only con I can find is that they mail paper checks, instead of direct deposit. Or would you take a transcription job with Integrity HD. I am not sure the line pay yet, but was contacted by a recruiter today? Thanks and please do not be nasty. :) ...

Why are all these entries lined through? ...

I am just venting!!! Somewhere along the line I guess I misunderstood the whole concept behind VR. I have a real hard time understanding why a bunch of words, many that don't make any sense or even sound like what is dictated, in no type of formatting constitutes a report; VR dictation that needs to be restructured and pretty much retyped but yet I get paid less and required to do it faster than a real "typed" report. My research on VR is #1 the dictator has to b ...

Does BayScribe only count the total time you're actually 'in' reports as the time that's weighed against your server time? In other words, when you're logged into Bayscribe's main menu and not actually transcribing a report, those minutes aren't being added in, are they? I hope I'm not confusing you guys! Thanks in advance for clearing this up for dense me! ...
