This is a surgery for blepharoplasty and the doctor is using K scissors. I've referenced a couple different scissor lists but couldn't find just "K" scissors. Does anyone know if it's K-scissors or Kaye scissors or ???
Thank you. ...
"Jamey scissors" were then used to divide the plaque at this location. Vascular surgery. Does anyone know if this is short for "Jameson scissors"? I've heard multiple doctors say "Jamey" but can't document it anywhere. Thanks! ...
I am doing a cubital tunnel release report and it sounds like "toonami" scissors (too-na-me). Can anyone help with this? Also, can someone post a link to a good orthopedic surgical website? TIA!
Sentence: The blunt dissection was performed down to the ulnar nerve, which was easily identified, and this was unroofed with "toonami" scissors. ...
It is a toenail removal and I am not as familiar with surgical instruments as I used to be. Can anyone confirm this or else offer me an alternative because so far I am finding nothing close.
TIA~ ...
Does anybody have any info on this company, what format they use, straight typing versus VR, line rate? Any information would be most appreciative. ...
Two words that come up often for questioning. These are strictly used in an orthopedic setting. Stedman's and Dorland's list end point and hand grip HOWEVER the office transcription manager, girl is asking for me to correct this to endpoint and handgrip. She is only basing this on what an old medical transcription company she used to work for had her typing. I would rather base it on the medical reference. The doctors are not even aware this has come up. She is ...
Hi, Can someone tell me which is correct? 'suspected of driving under the influence' or 'suspected for driving under the influence'. I think it is 'of', but not sure why this is so. Thanks. ...
I am not familiar with VR and have never used it, but I understand that there is a difference between voice recognition (VR) and speech recognition (SR). I am told the difference is that with VR the program has to be trained because it goes by voice only, sort of like us getting used to different dictators when we start a new account.
SR is supposedly different in that it goes by speech alone, meaning I guess, just the actual words dictated and is not affected by voice differences.
Does ...
Hi, I have a dictator going over the patient's hypertension. At the end of the section he says (BMP/BNP) was unremarkable. I have no values, so I don't know if it was a single test or multiple. If he's talkign about hypertension, I would think that BNP would be feasible, but it really sounds more like BMP. Any help is great! ...
If you were offered 9 cents for straight transcription and 7 cents for ASR, which would you prefer to do...editing at 7 cpl or transcription at 9 cpl or both? If you had to do both, but at given rates, would that be satisfactory? ...
I've been marked wrong on QA because I typed "5 out of 5" (as dictated) instead of transcribing it as 5/5 (which I would have typed if the doc had said "5 over 5"). What is your opinion on this? Any proof one way or the other in BOS? I haven't been able to find it ... ...
I have a question for you coders out there. I decided I want to make a career change from MT to coding. My question is, is it realistic to expect to pass the CCS exam after completing Andrews or other online schools? I looked into AHIMA's courses they recommend on their website and they only train you to take the CCA exam (Career Step and Kaplan). I want to be a CCS and not waste my money training for CCA. I don't see job listings for C ...
I have read the rules on when to use an and a and it seems to me that it should be "a MRI" and not "an MRI". Is this correct? I was marked wrong on Medquist (Momodal) for typing a MRI.

When physician clear dictates "emergency deparment" why does ASR continue to put "emergency room?" I suspect it is because ED has fewer characters than ER, hence, less pay, and this is easily overlooked if one is not focused. I see it so much that I have an expansion to change "room" to "department." Anyone have any other ideas why this is? ...
Hi there,
Is anyone here able to tell me where I can find a reference in BOS 3 about using lowercase c in A1c? I cannot find it anywhere!
Thanks so much! ...
