How to accurately transcribe vitamin D3 5000 units daily? - BraindeadMT

Posted: Nov 23, 2011

Question...I've been looking all over trying to figure out the best way to transcribe number/number combinations with medications on a list of meds where using parentheses doesn't seem to be right. For example:

Vitamin D3 5000 units daily, vitamin B12 500 mg daily, etc.

Is there a way to transcribe this where it doesn't look so number-heavy and the dosage is clearly separate from the vitamin?

TIA!

Number/number combinations - one option - sm

Vitamin D3, 5000 units daily; vitamin B12, 500 mg daily; etc.

I do vitamin D3 at 5000 units - Cheesey

Sometimes sentences get comma heavy with medications too, so I try to use the commas for separating different medications rather than stick it in between meds and their dosages.

Kind of a strange question. I was wondering if anyone would know this. I have a chance to take an IC position. The MTSO said that the workload would be 5000-7000 KB a day. I'm not sure exactly what that means. Anyone have any ideas? I have an email into her, but I was wondering if anyone knew how much work this could possibly mean. I'm now among the unemployed and I could really use a job where the work is plentiful. ...

I can't figure out the best way to enter my time with SoftScript. I have been told several times to enter only the time spent typing, which is okay but then it looks like I only typed 2/3 of my shift. Just calculating typing time alone is around 200 lph. If I include proofreading, reviewing account specs, and slow upload/download times added in, my line count is too low. HELP! Can't seem to make them happy either way! Mid winter they had no work.... ...

I am considering testing for an at-home company, haven't worked from home in years and when I did it was with microcassettes, etc. I am trying to put together equipment just to do the testing and have access to AS-5000 transcription kit (pedal, software,etc.) Does anybody know if this will work when the company downloads their files? Thanks for any advice...I'm really beginning to feel like a dinosaur! ...

Does anyone know of a good online reference for vitamin and supplement names, preferably something that allows for a "sounds like"?
