Has anyone ever heard "fractures" being abbreviated to "fracts"?

s/l cozin fractrures. "We reviewed cozin fractures today." This is a fracture in a child, if that helps. I'm not having any luck finding this word.. ...

Has anyone ever heard this term before? I can't seem to verify if it is correct or not. ...

It definitely sounds like she's saying PNA but we are not supposed to use abbreviations in diagnoses and according to the rest of the report, the patient has pneumonia. Or is this an abbreviation for a kind of pneumonia? Any help would be appreciated. ...

I have a new doc who is abbreviation happy and in the list of meds he just says "p.r.n. NTGN." I can't find anything with that abbreviation either in Drugs.com or in AcronymFinder.com and putting in p.r.n. NTGN into Google just gives me a list of teen p*rn sites!!! Ack!!! I'm sending this to QA as I don't want to leave that abbreviation in the med list on a consult but I'm grateful for any ideas or suggestions. ...

How do you treat words that the physician abbreviates that shouldn't necessarily be abbreviated? For example, I'm transcribing for an ENT physician's assistant who routinely will abbreviate medications or conditions in her haste to speak quickly. In a dictation I'm working on now, the patient has "a perfed TM and is on Oflox. otic suspension" (the patient has a perforated TM and is on Ofloxacin otic suspension). I tend to remove the abbreviations and type out the full word ...

Okay, am I insane? The MD is starting a SOAP note of someone having a physical exam to make sure she is safe before receiving sedation for an MRI. The first sentence is: Patient is here for a pre-NSTA physical. pre-NSTA???...has anyone heard of that before...done lots of research, but of course, the most hits I get are for the National Science Teachers Association...and I KNOW that is not it...ugh! Little help please! ...

After all of these many, many, many, many (okay, you get the point) years of transcribing, my wrists don't hurt, my back doesn't hurt and my neck is still okay, but the one thing that has me really bothered is my heel !!! It really bothers me lately and I have tried putting a small pillow, a thick piece of flannel and many other things under my heel to alleviate this bothersome pain, but to no avail. Has anyone got any suggestions or is there some type of heel cup or someth ...

I have tested a few times before on mttest.com, a site that several MT companies use for testing potential MT's, and recently received this piece of information: In sections that require you to type in the correct answer, typing a "Capital" letter in the first letter of your answer constitutes a wrong answer. I don't know if this is accross the board but thought it good info to share. Maybe everyone already knew this, and I can't even remember if I did that on previous tests but i ...

I just heard that the 2 largest MTSOs in the world are approaching virtually every large to medium-sized hospital and medical center in the country with an offer for 10 cpl for transcription. I'm not even sure who the 2 largest are, but I'm pretty sure one of them is CBay and both are offshore companies to be able to offer that rate. This is really concerning because this could lower the rates for U.S. MTs even MORE or could literally put all U.S. companies out of ...

I've seen them posting but can't find any info. Thanks. ...

My dictator is referring to something called a "Hospital Pack System" in which he is reviwing a patient's x-ray. I've never heard of this, let alone have any idea how to spell it. Can someone help? ...

I am looking through companies hiring new graduates, and I came across TNI. I am getting ready right now to apply. I researched right now and do not see any lawsuits against them or anything. When DIT offered me a job right after I completed my internship (which I did NOT take), I was excited. Then my adviser told me not to take the job, so I didn't. She put me with that company because she said it was a great company to intern for, not to work for. I know I s ...

to escape from MT or supplement, that is patient advocate. This piece on the radio said there were only a couple hundred or so in the US right now and need could be increasing rapidly. At this time no licensing or even training required, but a lot of us have already taken on this role with sick relatives, parents, etc. To me this sounds a lot more interesting than scribe, and could pay better too. Thoughts? The only thing is I would not know how to go about getting ...
