Posted: Mar 04, 2010
A 3-mm punch biopsy was taken in two places; one sent in formalin for regular pathology and one sent in s/l "Michael" solution for direct immunofluoroscence.
He also has a positive silver's (or Sever's) gold (or cold) test on the right with increased dorsiflexion when his knee is in flexion.
The patient has Sever's disease. Thanks. ...
mouse pad and said "I know YOU have one on your desk!" I will probably get fired but who cares. I only work there a few hours a week just in case something happens to my regular job as that has happened to me too many times. When will coporate understand WE are the ones giving them that extra money this year over last and without us they would have nothing?!!!!! This just angers me so much. ...
If so, I don't understand why we can't see the messages posted in each forum...
All you see are the latest messages posted.
Just curious if this is the final form of the forums.
P.S. It still says 'SWITH' on the post a new message screen. ...
I will never, never, never understand how all these doctors went through all those years of medical school and learned to be doctors but never learned to speak decent English. I have been wondering this for 8 years, and probably always will. I was led to believe medical school was not easy. I was led to believe learning English IS easy. Pretty soon I guess I will be led to believe that there really are orange and purple polka dotted elephants hiding under the baseme ...
To those of you who have completed a transcription course, who did you go through and why? I don't know if this is too specific to ask here, but I did not see any rules against asking about the schooling. I have been an MT for eight years, and received OTJ training, plus I have an extensive medical background prior to transcribing. However, I have a friend who would like to complete a program, and while I have a few schools/programs in mind to refer her to, I would like to ...
It would be helpful and save time on both ends and lots of paperwork and hemming and hawing if the line rate, hours, bennies, requirements, etc., were given with each ad (I know some do this already) and then people could apply with that knowledge in hand and present themselves accordingly. The correct applicant would be applying for the correct job. Win/win. I mean, what's the big secret? Since we are all lumped together no matter how many years of experi ...
The company I am testing with requires 550 lines per day for part time. I know there are many factors, but on average how many hours does that take? I currently work part time and get paid by the hour. I have never been paid by the line. I really like my current job, but may be laid off in June or July. For now, I would do both jobs. I also have two young children and don't want to take on too much. Any info would be great! ...
Have everyone work on the weekends so there's work come Monday morning. Spend entire days Monday through Friday, 10-16 hours per day, trying to get work, but only being clocked in for 6 to 8. But if you're anything higher than an MLS, you've got it made. You can adhere to your schedule AND have a life. I wish I could write how I really feel about these wage thieves. ...
One thing I haven't seen posted re: Andrews is a reasonable expectation of a timeframe for an experienced MT to complete their program. What has been everybody's experience thus far?
I realize we all have different home situations and some are pulled in more directions than others. I work full-time. Kids are no longer underfoot. Not caring for parents as they are deceased already. No yard to tend.
I've found myself cornered into an untenab ...
I am currently enrolled in the Career Step program and I am wondering how long it took some of you to complete the program. I am a mother to 3 kiddos and I don't have time to work on it every single day. It seems a bit overwhelming if you look at all of the reports there are to transcribe. So, how long did it take for you to complete the program?
Thanks,

Is this fragment or complete? I am so confused. I would want to add a "was," but does it not having a "was" or "is" make it incomplete? I have been researching grammar, but I know sometimes medical fragment sentences tend to be acceptable. ...
and they will offer me a job. Is there work there? I have no work with MQ and would like to find a different job. Should I take it? Just need more work and already working 2 jobs! Thanks! ...
need help! "the wound was irrigated with (s/l UC) solution"
i have ran across this several times and have not been able to verify it anywhere. any help appreciated! thank you! ...
When we were ready we squirted in the Norian solution, which filled in the gaps.
It definitely sounds like Norian solution. This is an operative report.
Thanks,

I have a thickly accented ESL who has just started dictating dialysis notes for our facility. I'm used to the docs giving the dialysate as, say, BGK 4/5, or breaking the concentrations down by potassium, bicarb, etc., but this new guy is saying what sounds like "RSP 440" or "RFP 440" and we're at a loss as to what that is, unable to document it yet. I thought at first that they were talking about some solution used in a recirculating single-pass machine, and QA thought they ...
This is part of an operative note involving knee repair. I'm used to hearing "leg prepared with a Betadine solution." But this s/l "Chloraseptic solution." Is that right?! ...
