Hemostasis was maintained with a bipolar and fublar. Dictator spelled FUBLAR, but pronounced as FIBiLAR, or more accurately, FIB-YOU-LAIR.

One of the docs I transcribe constantly spells drug names and is only right about 5% of the time - spells trazodone as trazedone every time!
hemostasis was OBtained with bipolar and - Fibrillar
Hi -
Can't seem to find any mention of this in BOS3, but can someone tell me whether I should be using "GI" or "gastrointestinal" in a preoperative diagnosis? I seem to remember in school being told to leave GI as is when in the ROS but seem to be drawing a blank on this one! Thanks in advance!! ...
Here is the sentence
CT scan of the head demonstrated a minimally depressed communicated fracture of the left occipital "calvarium."
Spell check shows calvarium wrong. Stedmans neuro book doesnt have it..Google shows calvaria, which stedmans shows.. Which is correct please ...
If a sentence ends with a number, such as, "...the patient will be seen again in a week or two," according to BOS3 should the two be shown as 2 or spelled out. ...
EXCEPT that he spelled it "h-e-m-a-c-h-u-r-i-a." Since MQ is so gung ho against us actually using our brains, should I actually spell it like that???? Oh please, please please I want to!!! ...
This is a psych report. The doctor says, "The patietn has no oromucolingual masikatory movements." I just wondered if this was the correct way to spell this becuase i am not finding many references for it anywhere. ...
any ideas.,,,it is a vitrectomy to repair a macular hole...The whole sentence is
On further attempts at the elevation, there must have been a chiss of the vitreous because the ____| QA MARKER: 106 |____ of the vitreous was noted to elevate.
Marker I left in s/l middle lie....More concerned about the chiss but any help would be greatly appreciated...Hate opth reports the most.... ...
Does anybody know how long a report stays in our specific work pool? I've done a break on a report hoping to get rid of it. But it keeps showing back up. I'm trying to make up some sick time, but I just can't understand this garble and have already spent way too much time trying to decipher it. I've been checking on and off for the last 30 minutes and it keeps showing back up. Help!!!! ...
you wanted to quit mid shift????? Sigh. I had one of those yesterday. Everytime I see his name come up in my cue I cringe!!!! He is horrible. Horrible accent. I did notice though after doing about 3 or 4 of his reports, my ears becames "trained" on him and I get better with him as time went by. But still, he is one that just makes my momentum (sp) drop drastically!
Just venting!!!
Thanks for letting me share. ...
What do you do if you are typing on a document for 780 seconds and the dictator at the very end tells you to cancel this and erase everything because she already dictated it? In all my years I was lucky enough not to get this until now. I was thinking about sending it in anyway because I just spent all this time on it!!!! ...
This doctor says "ah" inbetween just about every other word. So I'm spending all my time in the ASR taking out a bunch of "a's"!!! Wouldn't normally ah vent, but I've ah had her a lot ah today! ...
Coumadin 30 mg per day.
Now, I want to make sure I'm not dreaming here, but that is completely incorrect, right?
Maybe I'm having a brain lapse (been an MT for 20 years) but I want to make sure my thinking is correct that this dosage would probably be lethal?
I'm going to leave a blank for the dosage, but I just wanted to double check with my MT friends. I have listened to it many times, and she is positively saying "30 mg per day."
TIA!! ...
This is what it sounds like.
"His WBC 11.48, and his 12.4 and 37.0 PT/PTT were normal."
It seems like "PT/PTT were normal." Should be a sentence on its own, but then I'm not sure what the 12.4 and 37.0 lab values would be for. Grr...
Any help would be greatly appreciated! ...
I am just curious as to what speed setting to most of you keep it on when doing ASR? I try to keep mine between 8 and 9 unless it's an extremely slow dictator. I would like to increase my line count, but I'm afraid if I speed it up too much I might miss something. ...
What do you do when you absolutely cannot understand what the dictator is saying and you work at home on your own. Can you call the dictator? Can you request to review the other medical records because chances are, the dictator is saying the same thing that appear on those records? ...
ESL dictator with very thick accent states: ...for antibiotic management. NOT with antibiotic management. Please learn to transcribe correctly.
Although it wasn't me who made the mistake, it was all I could do to not put in the QA note: A female is SHE and male is HE and it is vomit not WOMIT, please learn to dictate correctly.
I so wish it was okay to put QA notes to the dictators. ...
This ANP who is dictating can't make up her mind what she wants to say and constantly corrects herself and then keeps yawning, but doesn't stop the recording or even stop speaking while she's yawning. It's annoying me PLUS it's making me sleepy now myself.
More coffee, please!!!! ...
I know this is petty, but for some reason, it grates on my nerves to hear: blah, blah Period space space. Or Colon space space enter.
I mean, please, are we considered that incompentent? but on the other end of the spectrum we have those that don't say any punctuation, which is absolutely fine, but a pause would be nice. It's not necessary to dictate a whole report in one breath. ...
on the phone to correct their grammer? I have this one who always says "chynosis" for cyanosis and "catheterism" for catheterization. It was funny at first, but now very irritating!
Thanks for the vent. ...
