Performing finger fracture (?) in abdominal surgery

Doctor sounds like he is saying pilon fracture, but the patient has a finger issue, not an ankle fracture. Context - "Three views of the right hand reveal a healing s/l p-line type fracture with an intra-articular portion with narrowed joint space. I thought about pilon fracture, but again this doesn't involve the ankle, so I don't believe that's it. TIA! ...

Anyone heard of "linea alba lifted between snits" in abdominal or liver surgery? Is it an abbreviation? Thanks. ...

Percutaneous gastrostomy procedure, same word used twice: "A good light reflex was noted on the anterior abdominal wall. A 1:1 (S/L boh-lowt-ment) was directly visualized." and again "A transverse incision slightly to the left of midline was made where a good 1:1 *** was visualized." I know they use ballottement in obstetrics, and it sounds similar to that, but more like boh-lowt-ment. Also the 1:1 is dictated "one to one" I am assuming it is typed as above, but not sure since I&# ...

Any suggestions? It's really annoying makes typing difficult and I definitely cannot type with a band-aid on my finger. I'm one of those finicky MTs who takes forever to find a comfortable height of my chair, distance from the keyboard, height of my monitor, etc. And absolutely nothing on my wrists and hands! No rings, watches, bracelets, band-aids! I was considering putting super glue in the split, but then chickened out. ...

Doctor is dictating for a 90-year-old who sustained a hip fracture in a fall. Then, under assessment, it sounds like he says "Left crural neck fracture." I could assume he means femoral neck, as I never heard of crural neck. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance. ...

hello, i am grateful to have obtained an IC position with a reputable MTSO which wants me to do "echo transcription" for them (part or all of the time). i would be using Dragon most likely. a long time ago on mtdaily.com i read about an MT achieving 250 lph doing echo transcription, but i thought i read here on mtstars.com (or elsewhere) that it's possible to achieve 400 lph--or more--once you "get in the groove"? could we start a conversation about this? any and all i ...

This is a physical therapy evaluation. The audio goes out so all I can hear is the first syllable "dys": "The patient has no dys*something* during finger-to-finger touching." I am totally drawing a blank. What could this be? Thanks! ...

Hi, everyone. I'm sure that this is a common problem in the transcription field, but I was hoping someone had some sort of remedy. I've been typing every day for the past couple of weeks about 9 hours a day and one of my fingers (the one I use for the Backspace key) is really starting to hurt every time I push down on it. It's right at the second knuckle on the digit and it's starting to become problematic. Any suggestions from more experienced MTs? Thanks. ...

So much ire and angst pointed at MTSOs. I even read where the TAT is a marketing ploy :) It helps to remember that we're all in the same boat and for the same reasons, to support ourselves. What so many of you don't seem to get is that the INSURANCE industry is dictating much of the TAT. If reports aren't on a chart in xxx time then the facility/physician is dinged financially. If an MTSO doesn't meet TAT, they are dinged financially. So they a ...

Would a physician insert a finger into an ileostomy to check for problems, or is there some tool that sounds like finger/feeger? Context: The patient's ileostomy demonstrates minimal output. I did insert a [s/l finger/feeger] to see if there was evidence of continued problems there, and there is a very tight opening through the fascia... ...

Has this happened to anyone else? My right index finger (the one that operates the arrow keys to navigate the cursor when editing) has become definitely crooked (pointing off to the left). It doesn't hurt at all. The left index finger is totally straight and normal. When I look at it while striking my arrow keys, I can see I'm directing it that way. It's the only thing I can think of that could have caused this. Anybody else? (I'm def ...

Stumped here. :( Surgeon says: Two screws fractured at the level of the bone. They were ____________ and removed in the usual fashion. The blank sounds like "truffened", "troughened", "truffined"? Some sort of removal. I have absolutely no idea. Thanks in advance. :) ...

It never ceases to amaze me this monolithic company whose primary source of revenue is transcription has no clue in managing their most valuable commodity, the MTs!!! E-time has proven disasterous in wrangling MTs to keep precise time schedules and produce..and now take away the mainstay of MTing for years..the incentive (which agreed, sucked anyway..). WE ARE PRODUCTION EMPLOYEES!!!! WE DO NOT GET PAID HOURLY OR SALARY!! How do these Hahvad, Wharton School rejects not ge ...

I'm on my 29th report for the day and I have not had one decent dictator yet. It's been solid insanity. The whole day has been filled with: 1. ESLs. They are saying the right words, but they're not pronouncing them anywhere close to correct. 2. What the heck? Everyone is yawning and talking. Please stop talking, go ahead and yawn (if you can't find the pause feature!) and then continue with your hard to unde ...
