What would you do if you had a co-worker who is stressed, has panic attacks, had back surgery and is on pain medication, and accuses everyone of all sorts of things. She is totally inappropriate, paranoid, and destroying the work environment. If anyone suggests that she forgot to do something or did it wrong, she has a panic attack, or more like hysteria. She reports people for silly things, but even though the charges are silly, they still go in the record. She writes complaints about people co ...
Dictated: Lumbar transforaminal epidural injection. Use "Magnahist."

Any help appreciated, thank you. ...

Are there any billers/coders out there who specialize in pain magement, ie, facet injections/aspiration and lavage, etc, for outpatient pain management physicians?
I have questions about documentation needed for injections and such with the 'add on codes', for example with the injections, there are codes for the first level then additional codes for second and subsequent levels. Is it necessary for every single charge to have a report on it? It's causing severe headaches for the ...
He has positive s/l marie fwa reflexes and there are a few beats of clonus....
He says it so fast - the "marie" also sounds like "murray" and the "fwa" is like the foie in foie gras.
Any help? Thanks! ...

I'm going completely blank on this one. The patient entered the hospital for chest pain. The doc states: (blank sounds like gel, or jail)
He denies any current discomfort but states when it is present it is usually a mild to moderate degree of pressure about the chest. He denies any radiation to the _____, arms, or back. ...
Doc dictates 2 meds for pt - s/l "care-dih-pull all" and "pro-mid-per-all". Pt has BPH and Parkinson's. I thought carbidopa, but this doc is pretty clear usually and it definitely does not sound close. They both end in the "all" sound. Ideas? ...
One med is running together - s/l either acon, toprolol (? she means Toprol), or acontoprolol. Either way, I'm not able to come anywhere near to finding the one that s/l acon or akon.

Thanks! ...
Hi, I'm transcribing a doctor's note that's describing the patient's allergies and how the patient has tried various OTC drugs, including 'pseudometafecin' but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to spell that correctly; I've tried all of the different variations that I can think of (sudometofecin, pseudometaphecin, etc.) and tried looking up 'allergy medications' and coming up with squat. I have a feeling I'm very close to how it may ...
I know we should type the sentence below as:
Advair 250/50 1 puff twice a day but to me, that looks like it could be confusing when the dosage and amount of med are so close together. I know we're not supposed to do it like this but this is what I type instead:
Advair 250/50 one puff twice a day.
Am I committing a horrible crime here?
...
First off, is "med" an appropriate abbreviation or if I need to expand it. Also, I'm having trouble with a few of the medications she's listing. The first one sounds like Serapril...I know there's Seroquel, and that's a possibility, but it really sounds like she's saying, "pril." Is there anything else that sounds like that? The next one s/l permecidene and the last one s/l kolite. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much! ...

My computer crashed, so I am working on an ancient notebook with the worst sound quality. The doc says this teenage girl patient is on s/l arilmissen (he hesitates when saying this one) and s/l simetan. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. ...
