Ocular tests - sm


Posted: Jan 22, 2010

I have a dictator who dictates the same thing every time and it is fairly clear, but I can't verify it despite looking at a lot of ocular testing sites.  I'm hoping someone here can tell me if I am understanding it correctly.  This is in the context of saccadic eye movements, gaze-hold nystagmus, VOR to slow head movements, VOR to rapid head movements, vergence.  It sounds like, "times 1 viewing" followed by "not tested," but once it was followed by "Patient saw multiple tips of the pen."  Any help is greatly appreciated! 

Tensilon ( IV injection challenge) test allows MD to view - TXMT

[ In Reply To ..]
muscular response or lack thereof to Tensilon. It would not be administered routinely unless there is a need to support or rule out a myesthenia gravis DX and is helpful in distinguishing between myasthenic and cholinergic crisis as a guide to treatment decisions. It is also used to monitor oral anticholinesterase therapy given for Parkinson and Alzheimer.

Thank you! I'll listen for that next time. - nm

Tests Tests And More Tests.....grrrr
Dec 18, 2014

Applying for a new job is a job in and of itself these days. Is anyone else having this ?? All these tests on these job applications. They are sometimes hours long. Some of these test reports are HARD. They are harder than most I do now. I work for MW now. I don't really have time to go through all these tests for hours and hours for FREE. I'm thinking of just not doing it and forgetting about that particular application. One of them I really was interested in too but what if I do all ...


(Eyes) Ocular Motor Control - Kind "Debic" Test?
Dec 16, 2009

This dictation is giving me a workout.  Anyone hear of a "king (s/l) debic test" for ocular motor control?  Is it king debit test?  I can't seem to find much in Google.  Any help would be great appreciated.  This is over a 22 minute dictation but at least I'm getting quite an eductation here. I usually get only 75-120 second dictations and it sure is nice to stick to one for such a long period of time, especially with such a clear dictator.  ...

Transcription Tests
Dec 03, 2011

Why in the heck don't employers give you at least some basic instructions for a transcription test? Some want you to format, others don't. Some want you to edit punctuation, etc., others want you to transcribe verbatim. It's very frustrating because they all seem to want something different, yet most don't bother to give instructions.  It's like they expect us to be mindreaders!    ...
