I've been at this forever it seems... :) I'm doing an ESL, and I'm a little stumped. The patient has elevated BUN and creatinine and stage 3 chronic kidney disease. Here's what he dictates with regard to her medications:
"She was on Benicar and Celebrex, and her BUN and creatinine have gotten worse recently. I stopped both of these 2 medicines and switched her to _____ (s/l Adoquin or Adocrin), which does not have the sulfa in it, as the patient has g ...
The patient has hypertension, sleep apnea, hyperlipidemia, and restless leg syndrome. The doctor is saying what sounds like "Ettakrin" in the general list of medications for the patient. TIA! ...
I'm just wondering when was the last time any of us took a moment and researched outside of this forum to get a better idea of what is happening with the MT industry?
Someone had asked last week for a listing of the largest? MTSOs. I posted regarding the KLAS MTSO study June 2008, but I wonder just how many MTs actually read it and absorbed the information that was made available to them within the free study.
There's all the commotion about ...
Did anyone else get the message from Massanotti? What do you think? Also, I went to medquist.com and was struck by the fact that they are marketing front-end dictation systems with SpeechQ, thereby eliminating transcriptionists altogether! I am not surprised, any way to get us out of the picture will make them more money. It just seems odd that they would tell us on one hand that they value us and then on the other try to get rid of us altogether.... ...

below who seem to adore MM so much (although a couple of you I don't really believe work for MM or are even MTs for that matter), what would be the tipping point for you to say enough is enough and start to hate on MM as much as some of us? If they went down to say a penny a line with 100% accuracy would you still love it as much? Just curious. ...

This is a message to the cherry pickers on my new account. Well, you got greedy, skimmed so many of the money-making jobs that it became apparent to all of us including management.
Now, you've lost your jobs. But during the time that you took part in your malfeasance I have nearly lost my home and had my car repossessed. Each work day was literally a nightmare well I struggled with one crappy job after another without relief. My first pay chec ...
When I started working for TT 3 years ago it was a good company, now every time there is a good week they hire more MTs and my pay goes right back into the crapper. When did you stop caring about your employees? Just a thought........ ...

There is some left lung nodularity now which appears to be new, although she had a little bit in the past. At least one of those is going to be positive. We went over the ____________ (s/l 'goomba') which is about 3 cm. in her chest wall, which is excisable if we want to do that. Thank you in advance for helping! ...
I would like to know why MTSOs, specifically Transcend, post ads when they don't bother to contact the qualified people who apply. They make you jump through the questionnaire and written test hoops and then ignore. What a waste of time. ...
