Mixed Number Vitals - mel268


Posted: Aug 04, 2010

I have a new doctor who gave his vital signs as follows: "90/72, 125, 18, 99.6, and 92%".  The first (bp) and last two (temp and pulse ox) are self explanatory.  I don't know what the 125 and 18 mean, though.  I'm sure this is one I'll kick myself over.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I would say the 125 is his heart rate and 18 is his respiration rate

numbers - what I would do

I would transcribe as dictated. That is probably the way they want it. Check you client profile.

Help With Numbers Labs And Vitals
Apr 18, 2013

Can anyone help with any tips on numbers? I work in speech recognition as most of us do now and I am having the hardest time with numbers. The account I am on has high ESL also, but even without that, I can't seem to get values correct 100% of the time to save my life. Examples are hearing a 0 instead of an 8 such as 130 instead of 138 or hearing a 2 instead do a 3 or even in platelets thinking I am hearing a value of 300,000 versus 200,000. If it is a profile that doesn't make sense ...

Mixed Feelings On Having To Resign Today. Sm
Sep 23, 2011

It is with much emotion that I had to turn my resignation in today with the Q.  I have been with this company since it was TL back in 1994.  I have seen everything, good and bad to worse.  And yes, there were good times.  I kept the same primary account for the entire time of my tenure here.  Of that I was thankful.   I am very, very ill and lost my medical benefits back in 2002 when my health as well as my DH's became bad.  I have been lucky in the C ...


Transcend Production Straight Typing Mixed With VR
Oct 06, 2011

Hi, I was hoping someone who works for Transcend could give me a round about of how many straight typing jobs you have versus VR.  The VR is Escription.  I am about to start with them, but I am nervous that I won't make any money.  If you could give me an average of how many lines you get straight typing and how many come from VR?  If you would like to email me that's fine.     Thank you, :)  ...

Set Number Of Reports
Jul 29, 2010

Something new I have noticed about several different companies is how they give you a set limit of reports when first starting out...Anyway, we are paid based on production.  How is someone supposed to live on say 10 reports a day for 2 weeks?  To me, I find that to be very insulting, and needing to pay my bills, it's just not something I could do.  It would be similar to someone who is being paid by the hour being limited to 3 hours a day in their first 2 weeks of their new ...
