I just need to know how to transcribe RBC 0 to 1 and WBC 0 to 1 unless this is right? Thank you for the help.
RBCs 0-1, WBCs 0-1 - Tina

I've always transcribed as RBCs 0-1 and WBCs 0-1, but now I question if I really need to be putting the "s" on these???

Or could it be RBCs 0:1000 and WBCs 0:1000?
Definitely not - Tina

It is 0-1... sometimes the values differ and could be 5-10, 50-100, etc. This isn't a case of a ratio so definitely isn't 0:1000. Of this I am sure.
Need help please.
Sentence reads: WBC count of 10.4 with increase in polymorphonuclear cells of 78.2 and polys (sounds like ADSA) of 8.1?
Have a good day everyone!

Doctor is dictating "Assessment and Plan" findings. She is dictating about Restless Legs. She dictates "Looking at his last labs, his (sounds like Endo sees) were low. " Not sure what "Endosees" or "Indosees" or it even could be "NDCs are low." I am not sure what she is dictating. I cannot locate anything close to that. Wondering if it has anything to do the patient's iron level.. any help would be appreciated. Thanks! ...

I just found a local hospital advertising for a path and lab transcription job and am considering applying, but I've never done that type of transcription. I've done numerous others, radiology, hospital, surgical, clinic, etc., but it has been a few years as lately I have been doing clinic work only. Is pathology/laboratory transcription difficult? I realize it's a matter of opinion and just like all other transcription would take time to adjust. I'm g ...

I feel MT is dying a slow death. I want to be prepared. Lab technicians work in an independent setting and get to analyze, dissect, research (love it!) and there are many employment opportunities, but the math scares me. Medical billing/coding and health information data entry would be logical after MT'ing for 15 years, but i'm worried about the outsourcing and the prospect doesn't excite me as much as the lab tech. I'm afraid i'd be stuck in ...
