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 ...
Fiddle factor - a highly technical term used by only the most specialized physicians who want the coders to add modifiers on a surgery to ensure a higher level of reimbursement when extra time was taken to "fiddle around" while making a decision on how next to proceed in surgery.

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.

His current dose of s/l panisex is 6000 units 3 times a week.
I know that's not correct. It takes me to porn sites when I search. Anyone have any idea what this drug might be? The doctor has a very thick accent, and it's not very clear what she's saying. It's not Panacet, but sounds like it.
Thanks!

"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 ...
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 ...
Does anyone know of an older RA medication that s/l kolt? The only reason it was stopped is b/c there were newer medications available and I can't find anything, given that she sould be saying just about anything that starts with a "k" sound and has one syllable. Thanks! ...
