Ortho - flat feet - Alterdix? - mt

Posted: Jul 15, 2010

I'm doing an ortho consult and the patient has a history of long-standing flat feet and he uses (Alterdix?) for that. I'm thinking it has to be some kind of shoe or device. Not a medication because he says he is not taking any medication.

Also, just a side note - should it be a "long-standing history of flat feet" or is it correct the way it is "history of long-standing flat feet".

Thanks,

I kind of figured that out after I had sent the message and kept searching and searching. I've spent over 20 minutes on this stupid word (strong accent on the physician). Then once I posted a light went off in my head. I'm going back to the coffee pot now.

Also, it's not a verbatim account, but this is a new doc so unsure if he is particular or not. I will leave as he says.

Thanks again to both of you. Sorry if I wasted your time.

You're welcome and it's never a waste of time to stop and help someone out if you can. You never know when that dang word you cannot hear or decipher is going to be one that another MT can't hear or decipher and it will pop up maybe in a search and make it just a bit easier for them too! Have a great day :)

Never mind - he's saying orthotics - mt -

One of those duh moments for me. I searched for over half hour, posted this message then went back and figured it out.

Thanks anyway - more coffee for me.

Then once they have you, watch out. Nuance lies. They lie to everyone they take over, i.e., the pretty great company and pretty great pay you were making before; kiss it goodbye. They lie.

I am having extreme difficulty with a dictation. I have read some other post, but when I ask a transcription advisor at Allied, if in fact the doctor is saying "flat", I'm told no. Anyone have any idea what is being said? The sentence is " On digital rectal exam the prostate is (flat, flas, flaccid) without firmness or nodularity." Thanks for any help on this problem. ...

New QA's and they are "redoing" everything, including report formats. We've had to correct them on a few items and yet they storm ahead and are making work miserable. Doctors I've typed for now over 10 years and the new QA person acts as though I'm new and never heard his dictation and "here's how it should be from now on." WTH? Seriously? She changes words and puts in the wrong words, not even what was ever said, and then my pay hurts because of ...

have nothing to do with difficulty, upload/download time, or any MT-related issues. The majority of you STILL DON'T GET IT. 6.1. is an enhancement for back-end editing. Back-end editing means more automatiion and need for fewer and fewer real live human MTs to do MQ work. So great, jump on the bandwagon to eliminate your jobs. I'm relatively confident I'll be one of the last to be let go whether I upgrade to 6.1 now or a month from now or whenever. You are just mak ...

Noticed in the MQ MT "rewards" plan (wow I can't even type that w/o laughing), that as of Feb 1 the pay will be a flat 4 cents per line for ASR. It does say this applies to new hires only; however, it says if hired prior to Feb 1 the editing rate will be "equal to the greater of 60% of the transcription base rate." What does "equal to or greater of 60%" mean exactly? Does that just mean 60% of your regular straight transcription rate like it is now?&nbs ...

Ladies and gents, I am hoping to find an employer that will pay a flat line rate for both editing of SR and transcription. Does anyone know of anyone that is doing that? This business of being paid 2 different line rates makes it impossible to forecast earnings and is causing a huge headache for me. I am thinking a flat in the 7 cpl to 8 cpl would be something I would consider. I cannot believe I am saying that - 10 years ago I was working in a great hospital job making 12 cpl. My, my, how ...
