JVD Measurement
Jan 05, 2011

Thus far I have only had doctors refer to the JVD as flat or raised or sometimes at zero.  Tonight, this doc says "JVD is 0 to 9 degrees/90 degrees" [I think].  I have found a site that describes JVD measurements, and one of them is 90 degrees--but there is no "zero to" part. Now I am second guessing my thought about it being 0 to 90 degrees.  This doc is very sweet, but really mumbles the ends of his sentences. Anyone know about the JVD?? ...


Musculoskeletal Measurement
Sep 01, 2010

Under the musculoskeletal portion of the physical exam, it is dictated, "Crepitus of the bilateral knees.  No ankle tenderness or swelling.  No MTP tenderness.  Last (s/l Sjogren's) was 14.5 cm."  I'm unsure what she would be measuring here. Also, I'm still wondering if anyone has any idea about this one, "MRI – mild.  SI/degenerative arthritis.  Imaging of the hands – small effusion of the carpals and (s/l peroneal) tendinopathy." & ...

Am I Losing My Hearing
Jun 17, 2013

I invested in a "good" or what I thought was a "good" pair of headphones a while back.  However, lately I have been struggling with dictators.  It seems like more and more of them have mumbling, stumbling speech making it EXTREMELY difficult to interpret.  In a "perfect" world, our job would be soooo much easier and not having to struggle with them mumbling, whispering, holding conversations (or at least attempting to) while dictating, and on and on. Oh well, at least I have a j ...


Hearing Issue
Mar 20, 2015

Had eye exam today--getting new glasses.  Can't wait to see better. I also had a brief hearing test as well.  Got set up for appointment with audiologist.  It seems my left ear does not hear low tones and the right does not hear high tones.  It is no wonder to me as all the years I have worn headphones, ear buds, or loud music.  Keeping my fingers crossed.  ...


They Have Been Hearing These Same Things Over And Over And Over And

...the business model works well for them. They made their money off you before you even signed on. They made it 1) when they landed your previous facility's contract and 2) when you were gullible enough to sign on to help voice wreck unemploy yourselves. If they wanted you to stick around you'd be so overworked you could not stand it. Nothing new about any of this stuff except this appears to be the latest set of Nuance casualties. In another month there will be another new set when t ...
