Posted: Nov 03, 2011

She does have some hyperpigmentation, questionably in a s/l Gotren's distribution. TIA

Dupuytren's? - nm

I don't think so. She is clearly saying GOtrens. Thanks though. - mt12

I have only ever heard that paired with contractures - anon

I doubt that is what she is looking for

could be talking about Dupuytren's cords - nm

how about some information on the part of the body - being talked about, it could help

"Guyon's" perhaps? - FLMT

[ In Reply To ..]
as in the Guyon's canal related to carpal tunnel syndrome? I have a hand surgeon that refers to everything in the hand as "distribution."

Possibly...sm - GT

[ In Reply To ..]
saying globus distribution meaning in a sphere shape or circle. Hyperpigmentation is in reference to a darkened color so could be referring to the shape of the "hyperpigmentation." ??

I learned something new today. Thanks!! Ortho is my specialty but I never want to stop learning. : )

You're welcome. Never stop learning. You're more marketable that way. I've done clinics for almost 20 years, but very little hospital. I'm not very marketable anymore.

I can't believe that...sm - GT

with 20 years experience in this business, (regardless of where/how it came about) only a fool would refuse to hire someone with your experience, IMO. : )

Thank you. That's what I thought. They want the ones who can jump right in. Clinics are different. All the ones I have worked for have their own style. I love them because they go faster and I have made $30-$40 an hour for the past 17+ years but the work is dwindling. Now I'm finding out how little I know about the BOS, which should be called the Book of Shi__. I don't agree with some of the things in it. I've been told I won't get a job until I know this "Bible".

i am extremely confused with what my job has now done with workflow. i went from having 10-12 accounts to this new situation where they have assigned ALL clinic/psych accounts to ALL employees. productively, this does not make sense to me as not only do i have to learn 40 or so new accounts, but the few accounts that did remain that i have been doing for a while are now being distributed to the pool for every employee to transcrib. does this make sense to anyone out there? ...

The dictator is an orthopedist, he is doing an orthopedic consultation. Musculoskeletal examination demonstrates the patient to be neurosensory intact in the bilateral upper and lower extremities.

I posted regarding the KLAS MTSO study June 2008, but I wonder just how many MTs actually read it and absorbed the information that was made available to them within the free study. There's all the commotion about ...

Did anyone else get the message from Massanotti? What do you think? Also, I went to medquist.com and was struck by the fact that they are marketing front-end dictation systems with SpeechQ, thereby eliminating transcriptionists altogether! I am not surprised, any way to get us out of the picture will make them more money. It just seems odd that they would tell us on one hand that they value us and then on the other try to get rid of us altogether.... ...
