This doctor seems to use the terms CPAP and BiPAP almost interchangeably for the same patients. I assumed this was just a mistake on his part, but now he mentions them both in one sentence. Can both CPAP and BiPAP be used at the same time? Thanks. ...

I have a patient with sleep apnea and the doctor states the pateint will need a "break" CPAP at home. The only other thing it sounds like is a "brick" CPAP. I don't think it's either, but definitely not brick. I've done an extensive Google search so danged many times today with all of the crappy docs I've had, and I am so sick of Google, I could just about rip my computer off my desk and smash it against the wall. Either that, ...

When doing CPAP titrations, Dr states "CPAP was initiated at 4 cm of pressure". I have seen different ways to transcribe this, either as written or 4 cm/H2O. Which is correct? ...

It is obvious she is referring to the pulse ox, but I can not figure out what PT could mean in this context. Has anyone heard this before, and if so, what does it stand for? Thanks! ...

I left MQ back in October 2010 due to a family emergency. I was working there part time. I thought I had terminated my employment, but when I went in a little while ago to complete another application it says the following and now not sure what I do or who I contact since I don't have any of that information. Thanks for any suggestions. Your current status for this position is: Welcome to MedQuist. Our records indicate you have successfull ...

I'm on my Nth percocet since yesterday, going to dentist at 5 pm. I have no PTO time available so do I have to make up time away to see the Dr.? I've heard conflicting things from higher ups over the days and months. ...

When did this get scheduled? Just noticed it. We will be performing emergency maintenance beginnning at 12:00 pm Eastern 3/25/2010 and lasting for up to 10 minutes. There may be a brief interruption of some services for DocQmanage and DocQscribe users. ...

Do I capitalize "Psychiatric Emergency Area" or just "Psychiatric Emergency" and not "area" ? I believe "emergency room" is not to be capitalized but I have seen where "Psychiatric Emergency Room" was capitalized. Thank You ! ...

Received an interesting e-mail from the next higher up over our supervisor and one thing that was talked about was having an emergency plan in case of equipment failure and DSL going down, etc. I have to say I am kinda chuckling at this. A follow up e-mail from a supervisor suggested going to Starbucks where they have free Wi-Fi. I was thinking this would like be a HIPAA problem (maybe not). The other suggestion was going to a relatives house. Another suggestion was ...

and have to take time off at the last minute? And have no PTO time? Will I be fired? ...

It's a sad realization that while I was a fairly decent medical transcriptionist, I am not good at editing. I made 3 critical errors in one day. I don't really have an excuse. I caught a bazillion errors as I had some pretty bad dictations yesterday but missed a lab error 50.3 instead of 50.8, a diagnosis VR typed hemangioma and it was supposed to be meningioma. There was one other stupid one. I'm not too proud to admit, I am just not cut out for this. I'm not sure if ...

Do I capitalize Emergency Medical Technician or just Emergency medical technician. As is the patient works for ----- hospital as an emergency medical technician. Also, do you capitalize a medical proffession name after the doctors name. Ex-Dr. Smith, Oncologist or oncologist. I have looked and looked, but I thought it should be and someone else thinks it shouldnt. Trying to get the correct format. I just cant remember and I cannot seem to find in my BOS. Thanks for the help. ...

Patient is having shoulder surgery. Doctor is VERY fast and mumbling - "Under general endotracheal anesthesia and the patient supine on the ____ table,...." Sounds like hen-nic or possibly even "head and neck" but I can't verify this in my books. Thanks is advance for your time and your help! ...

The following sentence was dictated: "Patient brought to the operating room and __ placed supine on the operating table." The __ word sounds like it starts with "sw", but I'm not able to make it out. It makes since for the word to be "was" because it fits the sentence, but I'm not sure. Any ideas?? Thanks! ...

They have put out the word that they are hiring more auditors. That is probably to ensure more mistakes are caught, thereby lowering our pay even more and turning us against one another. I don't understand FIESA's role in this. Anyone?? ...

I recently moved into a small two bedroom house. It's an older house with a very creepy basement that is not finished, is damp, and just gross. Until I can afford to convert the garage or re-do the basement, my teenaged son has one bedroom and my 8yo daughter and I share the the master BR. Meanwhile my husband sleeps in the LR on the couch (our relationship is basically that of friends now who can't afford divorce). Anyway, my desk currently is in the LR. ...

So I just took a HIPAA course regarding the "new rules" regarding our liabilities and obligations under the law. I often get dictations by doctors who are obviously working at home with their kids running freely (and loudly) through the room, and perhaps a caretaker's voice now and then. If its a HIPAA violation for ME to have other people listening to dictation, isn't the doctor dictating in the presence of others who obviously have no business hearing that dictation a rep ...

Thanks! ...

What equipment are we supposed to return? Just the hard drive? I don't want to call my CCM about this so I hope someone who recently quit knows. Since my computer doesn't have enough power to run 7.1, do you think they still want it back? ...

The number that this person called from doesn't say M-Modal, just Raleigh, NC? I refuse to call and pay the long distance from my house phone where he left the message, so I tried all day yesterday to call from my cell phone and get a busy signal and "network not available" message. Does this all sound jicky or maybe weather-related?????? ...

Left MQ the last day of March 2010. I have read on this board numerous times that that they a long time to send return labels. I have been gone 1 week and already have return labels, but the joke is, I do not have MQ equipment to send back. Have been using my own equipment from day one. I even had to have it repaired a couple months ago and my CCM asked if it was my computer. If it had been theirs they would have gotten it back then. Just thought you might enj ...
