Patient anemic....did not require s/l oral transfusion? - LE


Posted: Apr 09, 2010

I know I learn something every day in this business, but I've never heard of this.  She's very, very clear, but I'd like to know for sure before I QA.  Thanks! 

For context, this is the complete statement:

She was found to have a hemoglobin as low as 7.8 and was sent to the emergency room.  This did not require an s/l oral transfusion.

 

Auto transfusion? - happy

n

I re-listened and she's definitely saying oral, however - LE

[ In Reply To ..]
The next sentence is:
She has previously been on oral iron supplements.

I'm wondering if she just got ahead in her thinking and meant to say auto.

Thanks very much for your reply. I've been looking everywhere for oral transfusion and probably would not have given up until I'd wasted a lot more time! :)

I'll leave a blank and send to QA.

Thought About Dictators With Oral Diarrhea.
Feb 01, 2010

I think that part of a physician's training/internship or whatever should be to have 6 months to 1 year of being an MT before they start practicing medicine.  Maybe that would help.  Of course, then they would all know how to type their own reports and the need for us will diminish...yet, a physician's time is apparently very precious...so maybe not.  Just thinking outloud, never gonna happen. ...

Why Would A Co. Require IE 7.0 Instead Of 8.0?

I got a call today from HR at Sten-Tel (Springfield) saying that they were getting ready to make me an offer.  (Would consider taking it on only in addition to what I'm already doing due to hearing issues about lack of work.) I was, however, told that having Internet Explorer 8.0 was a problem and that I would need to uninstall this version and downgrade to IE 7.0.  I've never heard of this before and was wondering why the newer, more current version of IE would be a problem ...

Is this the way it is across the board for Command Health? I thought I needed an IC job for flexibility, but if I could have that flexibility as an employee that would be great.

Time Outside Production - Isn't It Illegal To Require This?

New to Nuance, swallowed up when they acquired my employer at the end of 2013.  I see they really expect you to spend a lot of time doing things outside your schedule, training, reading manuals, etc.  Other than a flat rate for installing and learning software (20 minutes, actually took twice that), they don't offer to pay for all this extra time.  Seems excessive.  Has anyone tracked this extra time and filed a complaint with DOL about it?  Or tried to clock into W ...
