Rheumatoid factor. - mtlt


Posted: Feb 02, 2012

I need to know how to transcribe rheumatoid factors.  He dictates as "Rheumatoid factor was 25-80/25:80."  He didn't dictate titer or u/mL.

that is a titer - missindale

25:80 would be correct.

Thank you. nm - mtlt

Check Rheumatology Labs, Including Rheumatoid Factor, Anti-CCP
Sep 08, 2010

This patient could possibly have gout, fibromyalgia, OA, RA, psoriasis...among other possibilities.  "Check rheumatology labs, including rheumatoid factor, anti-CCP, ANA, sed rate, CRP, CMP, CBC, Lyme.  The patient had a s/l 'dipsticks all the time.'  Check an ACE."  The doctor did pause after "had a" so that may not be part of the sentence.  In that case, it sounds kind of like, "The patient gets sticks all the time."  I'm not sure if either makes sense.  She does mention ...

Is Age A Factor In Not Finding An MT Job?
Mar 31, 2014

Have any of you had a hard time finding work as an MT because of age discrimination?  I have run into this for the very first time this year.  I have not worked for a few months because they laid off a lot of MTs at the company I worked for; mainly because they promised something they could not give.  We would have 4 or 5 accounts and no work on almost all of them.  We would be left scrambling for work and got the worst work possible.  The supervisor at night watched the ...

Rheumatoid Arthritis.

"The patient gives a good history of symmetric inflammatory disease with onset and stiffness that are consistent with a s/l seenya rheumatoid arthritis.  She does not have a significant family history, but she is a smoker, which is a known risk factor for developing RA." I'm unsure if the dr. is changing her mind midsentence and wants to say "that are seen in a" or if she's saying "with a seed of" or something completely different.  I thought she might be saying "senior" but ...

Hearing Loss/rheumatoid Arthritis
Oct 28, 2009

Anyone out there have any hearing loss? I have developed significant hearing loss. My ENT has encouraged me to keep transcribing, with the use of a boosted headset and I am trying. Telephone use is very difficult and almost non-existent. Boosters do not help. Also diagnosed recently with RA and having difficulty with my fingers, but not letting it get me down. I am on treatment that is working well. Just wondered if anyone else is having any of these issues and how they are dealing with them. Th ...
