The wound was irrigated with Holy/Wholly water? I have seen it both ways in old reports, can anyone clarify? Thanks

Water is zapped with electricity and speeds wound healing. It is used with burns and diabetic wounds. There are a couple different brand names.

that "holy water" is the term applied to whatever disinfectant is being used at the time; commonly used in ER parlance.

Where and how is a doctor dictating when he/she sounds like they are under water???? ...

He started dictating an Op note and then got confused. While trying to figure out what the heck he was doing, he said "hold your water." Maybe I'm just really bored today, or maybe my sense of humor is out of whack, but I started laughing hysterically at that! When the doc actually talks directly to me instead of just dictating (unless they are being a jerk) it's nice because you realize that he or she knows there is someone listening....even if they're telling you to ...

I was laughing my butt off reading the news this morning because FedEx is in exactly the same kind of trouble that a lot of these MT companies should be in. They have been classifying their drivers as IC status to "save money." Sound like a familiar tactic? Here's the article I cut and pasted: Tuesday, Oct 20, 2009 @04:01pm CDT (New York, NY) -- Attorneys general from three states will file suit against FedEx for alleged labor laws violations. Officials fr ...

I am trying to get a handle on how many of you would be interested in group insurance coverage. So many of the companies we work for dangle "benefits" in front of our noses only to find that joining them costs almost as much as buying it ourselves. The IC's out there have no way to have coverage unless their marital partner carries them or the pay for it themselves. I don't know about the coders/billers but include them in the "group". I know it's been tried bef ...

I am glad I'm sitting down. QA,TH, is actually transcribing!!! Put this on the calendar. I would love to audit her work because if it is anything like her emails, QA would have a field day w/that! Would love to pick her work apart like she does everyone else's, and not encouragingly either. Would love to see how she likes it... ...

Got an RN dictating alphabet soup -- ER, CHF, CAD, CABG, INR, DOE, JVD, TURP. . . a medication that she can't get close enough to pronouncing for me to get close enough to spelling, and then to top it all off, a hgb of 113.7. Nothing on previous report look-up is a help for this one! But I bet she got a raise -- not a pay cut ~~ ...

The US Department of Justice has confirmed that it is conducting an antitrust investigation of Nuance Communications.

THANK GOSH I'm not working my "regular primaries" anymore ... the accounts I've been working on for the past 5 years are almost ALL completely indecipherable accents from every country on the globe but since the new switch I haven't had even ONE single report from those accounts but the new ones I'm being routed are vanilla-accented, plain English-speaking and normal-speed midwesterners in Kansas and Oklahoma. Those of you who have always worked on these accounts until ...
