The doctor says the patient is simvastatin 300 mg, metformin 1000 mg b.i.d., glimepiride 2 mg b.i.d., multivitamin, and calcium. The patient has myofascial neck and shoulder pain and is diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
I have never heard of simvastatin given at 300 mg, but was wondering if maybe this is some sort of alternative use for fibromyalgia or whatever. Anyone? I reference the only other note that this patient has and it lists simvastatin 300 mg as well, but I'm ...
20 years ago when the DRG's hit the hospitals, one was complaing to the other... "they treat doctors like a bunch of old dogs now". Well, that's how MTs are being treated now. Why on God's green earth do the MT services require all MT's to work at least one weekend day every week (Friday's and Monday's don't count). Every ad I see on the Job Seeker board requires weekends. Are they sadistic or something. Why do we put u ...
Well, in trying a couple of your suggestions, I find it did not make a substantial difference. I found I already try listening ahead and I had been using ctrl M to jump around the report when I need to, but never works for going faster through the actual report because I can't tell what is background gibberish while the dictator is thinking and what might be the dictator. Leading me to believe it must have a lot to do with the account. I can never go too far ahead of the d ...
Has anybody who applied for the work comp orthopedic job from AccuMed got a response yet? I'm just following up from last week when no one, including myself, had gotten a reply to their application/resume. Thanks. ...
Is follow up one word or two, such as "the patient returns for follow up of right knee pain." Half the girls I work with do it one way and I have always done it as two words. I would just like to know who is correct. Thanks for any help. ...
Help guys! I have been working with numbers all day, which is not my cup of tea! I am totally brain dead right now. If the doctor states the patient is to have cardiology followup, it would be followup, or is it follow up? ...
whats your opinion for the sentence below?
"I plan to see him in followup/follow up in 6 months."

It's been a long time since I interviewed face-to-face, as I did today at a hospital, and I am wondering if I should follow up with a thank you note for their time; what do you think? ...
It's always the little things that snag me up. I know the rules on follow up as a verb and followup as a noun and adjective, but when a doc says, "CHIEF COMPLAINT: Follow up acne", does he mean "recheck acne" which would make follow up a verb and thus spelled follow up, or does he mean "here for a followup of acne"? and thus the followup spelling. What is the general rule on this "shortened" statement?
Thanks. ...
I think it is a ridiculous thing to lose points over, but I am INSISTING that the way I typed this sentence is correct:
The patient returned to the cancer center for followup of her metastatic cancer.
Isn't "returned" the verb in this sentence? I am adamant that followup should be one word here, but I am being told it should be "The patient returned to the cancer center for follow up of her metastatic cancer".
This is making me crazy. The explanation I r ...
I am just curious to know if everyone was placed on other accounts or not after losing your account. I am still waiting to be put on another account, but I am looking for more work.
Thanks ...
"She was hospitalized April 9 with ____ with hip fracture with open reduction and internal fixation and then, several days into hospitalization, she developed mild stroke with facial droop." Sounds like "nonsacable 4". I have no idea and would appreciate any help. He says the same word/words later in the report, "Prior history of transient blood pressure drops and ____." TIA ...
Last night I had a company call me because they were interested in me working for them. I had taken the test about 2 weeks prior. My question is how long should I wait to send a followup email? She sounded like she wanted to get me started ASAP but needed to check with my references first. I keep imagining the worst and thinking my references weren't that great and I won't hear back. Thanks so much for the advice!! ...
Hello Ladies....where I work we are diving into the Book of Style. I am having a hard time determining when to use followup (one word) versus follow up (2 words). Can anyone post any examples of the correct usage and/or anything you use to help you know which way is correct?
Thanks ...
The big special announcement was our TCM was moving back into her previous roll of QA coach - bringing in a new TCM. No lost accounts, no jobs cut, no pay cuts... all positives... ...
I would like to thank you all for the many responses I received regarding my post last week, regardless as to if they were positive or negative responses. When I posted I knew I was putting my head on the chopping block so to speak. I respect everyone's opinions. and the reason behind all prior posts was to share my experiences with Transcend and hoping others would share theirs (good or bad) as well as to "vent," as I felt I was facing this situation a ...
I know how to use followup and follow up in most circumstances, and I thought I knew how to use it in all circumstances.
However, what about in these instances:
CHIEF COMPLAINT: Followup/follow up.
CHIEF COMPLAINT: Followup/follow up of left knee pain.
I was 100% confident in myself, but QA has given mixed feedback... ...
The patient is here for a 3-month and 1-week followup visit. I'm scratching my head here. How to punctuate that?
A 3-month-and-1-week followup visit? Seems like way too many hyphens to me....
