I have a client that is telling me that certain things should be capitalized in sentences that I have never capitilized before and I have been doing this for years. Now I am questioning everything that I do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks. ...
Learning the book of style and trying to decide in this sentence whether or not to capitalize Neurology and pain medicine.
He was seen by Pain Medicine and Neurology.

Currently it says there are 161 visitors online. Of all the MTs in the US this just seems like such a smalllllll number. I know it gets up to like 320 that is the most I have seen EVER, and I have been on this board for a couple years (with some longer periods of absence for some reason)...
Just wondering why there aren't more people? I mean, not that I think there should be, I never have enough time to read any of the posts as it is haha...

I have a bad feeling about this one. Some of you may "know" me, i am here once in a while, have been for a few years. I am coder at a very large facility in midwest and have been for years. Last year our hospital installed Computer Assisted Coding and we are implementing it in stages. First we used the annotated fields just to help identifying things that may/may not need to be coded. Then we started getting suggested codes to go with the annotated information. Then ...
I thought in training I was told that it started accruing immediately (full time/full benefits), but looking back through my pay stubs, I didn't start accruing it until after I had been with the Q over 5 months.
I've been looking on MQCentral, but I can't seem to find the answer. I would love to know if they owe me back PTO...which would help a lot since I sit here for the third day in a row with no work!
Thanks! ...
ASR-a is-a stupid-a. So-a I-a have-a to-a waste-a my-a time-a deleting-a every-a "a"-a because-a heaven-a forbid-a that-a MM-a make-a program-a that-a actually-a WORKS-a.
Hope you all have a better day than me! And that's just the first report-a! ...
I was wondering what my fellow MTs think is going to happen starting 2014 when Obamacare kicks in. I had read an article in the NY Post a while back that 74% of MDs surveyed plan to work part time, retire from medicine, or go in a new direction careerwise. Do you think we'll see a decrease in work available, even SR editing work? Do you think that if a great amount of MDs cut back or retire from medicine that would cause our profession to lessen in demand? ...
He spelled cytoreduction for me tonight. That makes me think that someone else misspelled it.
I just worry - in today's climate, if we make enough mistakes will they decide it 's easier to do it themselves if we can't do it right?
It's late and I'm rambling, but I do think about this. ...
Lately after I have done a few reports, EditScript starts to get slow. I hit a key and there is a delay before it does anything. Not much of a delay, but still delayed enough to slow me down. Eventually, it gets soo slow that uploading the current report and downloading the next one becomes next to impossible and I have to close it out and reboot the program. Anyone else experience this or know the problem and a fix? TIA ...
When first time right actually starts working in my area, what kind of message will you get if you try to work outside of your schedule? Will you be able to log in to DQS/DQM? Thanks ...
I know some of you are on lockdown already and for that you have my utmost sympathy and empathy. We are supposed to start tomorrow. There are NO HOURS on the swap board and we have been running into NJA every day since MQ did the management shuffle. I have my resumes out and took some tests this weekend. Hopefully I will hear something soon so I can get off this merry-go-round that just isn't merry any longer. I don't want to worry every wee ...
openings heavily, repeatedly, on every job site, you can bet the next webcast is going to be a doozy. They know they're about to deliver bad news & many will quit in disgust. That seems to have held true this time again. ...
No conscience, this LG, hired to slash, and slash she is good at! l shudder to recount all the I.D. numbers I've seen come and go from her matrices. If you were just switched to one of her accounts, beware, there is only one reason for that! She is on the AB (COM) team last I knew. ...

I have seen tons of different ways to write the following and am wondering what is the actual correct way? When using the words "type 2 diabetes mellitus" in a document, do you initial capitilize it or leave it all lowercase? ...
If you are hired to work a 40 hour week and the work starts to dwindle, does anyone know when you can contact unemployment to collect partial unemployment...have also asked for a secondary account and have not heard a word back...am going on 3 weeks of not getting in my full 40 hours and am so frustrated...am in NJ, if anyone has any info...thanks so much! ...
You'd better be looking very quickly for a new job, because you may all of a sudden find yourself locked out of the system with no warning, no inkling of what's going on at all, no idea there is or was any sort of problem, nothing.
No matter how nice you think your MTSO or manager is, open your eyes if you notice anything amiss at all and do it fast.
Don't keep all your eggs in one basket, I'm very glad I didn't.
If at all possible, pleas ...
I need help with capitalization. I have myself confussed with some of the ruling for departments and services. With this sentence: The perineum and vagina were prepped and draped and the ureteral stent was placed by urology service. Do you capitalize urology? Thank you ...
For those of you who take the time to view this post - I'm banging my head in frustration here! NITINOL DOES NOT NEED A CAPITAL N! It is nitinol basket, nitinol wire, nitinol mesh stent...etc, etc. Pull out a ref. book, for Pete's sake!! There - now i've said my piece, I can go back to correcting the 900 instances of the capital N in the reports i'm auditing. Does anyone bother to review Feedback? If so, I wouldn't have to change Nitinol to ...
