I do not usually do ORs and am baffled. I am covering for another MT. I am not sure how to type this "running loop O PDS suture".
As usual, thanks for all you gracious help! ...
Two questions. Does anyone else have the little screen that pops up and says Editscript has been inactive for 1 hour, will automatically shut down in 5 minutes and then counts down? IT COMES ON WHILE I AM WORKING! I have NEVER let my work sit for an hour, NEVER!
Secondly,I had an appointment last week so missed an hour and missed a few minutes here and there enough to be over 2 hours short on my normal working hours. First I received an email (ON MY DAY OFF SO I DID NOT SEE IT) that I must m ...
After browsing around in FIESA, I found what looks to be an instruction manual for the people who audit us and after looking at it, it sure does look like they can pick and choose which reports to audit, rather than randomly. I have also had the worst dictators audited more than the good ones. Of course it's easier to find a mistake that way and easier to keep our pay down! Remember 7 cpl is really equal to only 3.5 cpl if most of your jobs are VR. ...
Here's the deal, I'm not saying I cherry pick every minute of my shift, but if I have done one after the other report of difficult dictators, then I will go in and assign myself 2 or 3 jobs to give myself a break. I work directly for a hospital and I know that I am absolutely not the only one who does this.
I also cherry pick if the end of my shift is coming up and I find that my lines need a little boost. I will assign myself some easy dictators to boost up my lines ...
Why on earth have a deadline but then extend it until everyone downloads? Its already been 8 days past original deadline... how much time is needed? ...
Since I can't get the same answer out of my QA, my CCM and others, I guess I'll poll the audience.
We DO NOT put the zeros on medications, like 4.0 mg should be typed 4 mg, right?
Do we put the zeros on...welll...pretty much anything else, like creatinine 2.0, temperature 98.0? And no, I'm not new. I've been told many different things over the past 10 years that now I'm just messed up, confused and too tired to think straight. ...
After 28 years of medical billing I am ready for a change. I've been researching online coding courses but there are so many! I would be interested in any feedback you have on which courses you took and the pros and cons of each. Thank you for your input. ...
After you fill out the application and get through the hiring process, if you're going to be part-time does MQ tell you when they want you to work or can you pick your own hours? ...
I've done lots of research on both companies, none really "WOW" me at all....but having to make a choice (and SOON), as I cannot afford to be without a job, can anyone shed some recent light on working for either? I don't need the benefits as much as the pay...Thank you kindly in advance. ...
Wow, I'm a little confused. I hope to train for coding for if/when my in-house transcription job dries up, so I asked around the hospital about whether I should get my RHIT. (Yes yes I know I can't go into full-fledged coding the day I get the RHIT. I want to be in position to help out in the transition to ICD-10.) Response was positive, and they suggested any program accredited by AHIMA. Doesn't this leave out Andrews? People on this site seem to like Andrews. My state has ...
Just curious about this because it seemed when I worked my last shift, I had all good doctors for a change. Some of them I'd never typed before. So I got to wondering if people can actually cherry pick on eScription. I was under the impression that was one of the benefits of that software, difficult to do that. We all work the same bad shift, let's share the junk reports, please! ...
Because my 2 accounts are dictating the same amount as they have been 2-3 months ago when overtime was required. I can tell by going to COMP (completion) and this is not docqscribe.
In fact, the one hospital has had so many patients coming into the ER and are swamped with patients waiting in the waiting room for over 6 hours. Doctor stated this in his report and another doctor stated in his report that patients were leaving the waiting room and going to another hospital b ...
Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if any of you have ever heard of a company called Pick Research Solutions. It looks like they are paying 1 dollar per audio minute, and I have never done audio minutes before. It looks like the job I would be doing is transcribing one-on-one telephone interviews at about 45 minutes in length. I really don't know how long it would take me to do it, but I do know that I type 80+ words per minute, but more importantly, the question is if anyone h ...
Is it hard to pick up radiology transcription? I have worked in MT for 30 years and feel I have have a very good grip on medical terminology in every field. Just wondering. Thanks. ...
my work and then I would have no problems getting my lines every pay period. What pieces of trash did they select to put in quasi-management positions? ...
and still nothing. I'm thinking it is time to call it a day, I could be much more productive getting busy around my house!!!! Hope things pick up for you all! ...
Cherry pickin could be found out with a simple run of the software, so leads do not do this. We want to do this, but we dont. There are times we'd sure like to give the snails a bunch of ickies based on their never ending complaints and irregularity. ...
doesn't matter to you, the MT will fix it. So what it takes MY time, so what it throws me off when I'm half way through the report and realize I may have it wrong and have to leave the screen, relisten to the beginning of the dictation, and change it..What do you care doc? you make a crap ton more money than I do, so obviously your time is more important.. ...

A left lateral disc protrusion herniation of 7-8mm is noted effacing the surface of the thecal sac and extends into cauter recess of the left neuroforaminal stenosis. This might impinge the exiting dural sleeve of the left L4 nerve root.
Any ideas? THx. ...
Dictated:
Structurally, I think the wrist is intact. There is no s/l clunking. s/l Lots of chip test is normal. No point tenderness is noted.
Any ideas??? ...
Does this make sense "stiff rank with anterior drawer testing". If not, any suggestions what kind of rank couldsound that way"
As always, my profound gratitiude. ...
