Does this make sense - Pt is s/p complex repair "left AC right wrist"

I do transcription for radiologists, and this comes up quite often. Is it osteomeatal complexes with an "e" or ostiomeatal complexes with an "i"? Sometimes they say ostiomeatal "units" instead of complexes. These rads use Dragon, so I'm only proofreading and editing their reports, and it comes to me spelled in both ways, even from the same rad. Any help here fellow MTs? ...

My left wrist is killing me. I have been doing ASR for years but lately my wrist hurts much worse. There is probably going to be a syndrome named for this. MModal wrist syndrome or something. I have also had 3 carpal tunnel surgeries. It's ridiculous to be killing our health for peanuts. ...

I got my very first VR job and I just really hadn't been able to make any money on it and by "not making any money" I mean just below minimum wage and just minimum wage on a GOOD day. I kept on pushing through, even though I wanted to quit on the very first day, and I finally got to where I was over minimum wage, but working my butt off for $8-9 per hour. I didn't like it too much, working that hard when I was used to making much more for much less work, but I decided it wa ...

MRI scan results show findings consistent with an anterior dislocation with a probable small *S/L heal saxilation* in the posterior humeral head.

When you have a report that is with a difficult dictator and within the first few lines you have a blank you know you are going to send to QA - if the report is long and there are a few other blanks you might have to leave but might be able to get if you spent time researching, wouldn't it be better to not even waste time researching those blanks since all the lines are being counted toward your 5% submission rate - it would seem that it would be best to do the rest of the report as quickly ...

Company A pays an experienced transcriptionist/MLS 3 or 4 cpl to edit VR. Company A boasts about how this makes for a faster turnaround time on everything. Company A tries to tell seasoned MTs with years of experience that their productivity will actually go UP if they learn to be good little VR editors. Company A apparently fails to realize that some transcriptionists can also do basic math pretty well, and can see that they are actually getting paid less to d ...

There are some things that don't make sense to me in regard to certain rules for companies. At my company, when you send something to QA, you have to put a blank and the number where it is, but if we think something "sounds" like something we cannot put that in because the QA person could hear what we are hearing and not really hear what is being said. Now, what in the heck is VR then? Sometimes when you see text presented on screen it may sound like what you are seeing.&n ...

The patient has pink eye...doctor says..."There is mild injection of the conjunctiva, both bulbar, and pale pupil on the right eye." Does that make sense? I thought it should be conjunctivae, but he goes on to say that the contralateral side is not injected, which makes me think that I have that sentence written incorrectly or am not hearing something right since "both bulbar" would indicate injection of both sides...right? ...

I'm cross posting part of something I wrote today on my FB page. Something's up with The Big N. This is my personal opinion only, based on things I've been reading over the past couple of months. The link is to an article that seems to bear my thoughts out. I think Nuance is going to break up into smaller pieces. There's been talk about this over the last year or so, but as usual there is (almost) never a mention about NTS, only the VR side of things and other healthcare en ...
