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?? ...
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." & ...
The doctor dictates: two-tenths of a cc of 4 mg/cc dexamethasone
How would this be correctly typed? He always uses cc as a measurement. It is the two-tenths of a cc that I am concerned about.
Thanks so much! ...
Hi all,
Been doing echo reports for this doc for a while, and he's now added "ACS" to the list of measurements, e.g. "ACS is 1.8". Looked high and low...can't find this and was curious as to what it stands for. Any help? Thanks in advance. ...
says, "eighteen slash ten slash three four," and I am not sure how to transcribe the last part. I am a long-time transcriptionist but have never heard the measurements given that way, so any help from you cardiology gurus would be much appreciated. Thanks. ...
in giving a measurement for left atrial volume index, author says "50 cc per meter squared." How would that be correctly transcribed considering we are not to use cc, but rather mL, and we are not to use exponents? ...

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 ...
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. ...
...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 ...
Just wanted to share something with you. I have used it since August and amso pleased. I am very impressed with the quality of the headset I purchased from http://www.startsto p.com/transcript ion_accessories. asp#30585 (this is the site for the headset)This headset is wonderful for folks who have a problem hearing andunderstanding the spoken word. They tested this headset in real doctors' offices with real MTs who had nothing to do withtheir company.I cannot tell you how impressed I ...

I have applied to 20 different companies for jobs and not one single company has replied. I have over 20 years of experience. Is it just me or is the medical transcription field just flooded right now with people submitting resumes because nobody wants to do voice activation? In the past, I would always hear back right away. ...
Help - Have no sound on right side of my headset listening to a tape in my Lanier. Headset works in Express Scribe, though. If I switch out the headphones for another pair, can't hear on the right side there either on the Lanier. Lanier has been working fine up to this point. Any suggestions as to what the problem is and how to fix it? ...
I will be purchasing hearing aids soon and have two related questions.
What type of headphones can I use, if at all, with:
In-ear hearing aids,
Behind-the-ear hearing aids.
Would also be nice to know where I can get same at a decent price. At this time I purchase my transcription gear at Martel Electronics.
Thanks, all, and keep that volume turned down (no my hearing didn't go that way; I am just getting older). ...
I have been hearing a lot about medical scribes. I am wondering if the transcription companies are going to start losing accounts because the doctors are going to switch to this new way of doing the medical records. Has this happened to anyone yet? ...
I'm just wondering. Does anyone EVER hear from any of these companies after applying and sending a resume. Just curious. Not asking for much just a little acknowledgement. ...
