St. Jude pacemaker lead - S/L Octrad?
Posted: Dec 29, 2011
An S8 lead was introduced in the lateral fluoroscopic view, and AP view was used to drive it to the mid T6 level. The lead was in the midline and then an s/l Octrad lead was placed just left to that one described above.
maybe Octrode, it is the name of a St. Jude lead nm - oldMT

too many variables to know for sure - Octad Octrode too
[ In Reply To ..]An octrode can be a set of 8 leads or a single lead depending on the manufacturer. Also there is an Octad that I hear from time to time that many MTs think is Octrode (I see it in QA). This is one you shouldnt guess at.

Pacemaker AID
Jul 01, 2010
I am not quite awake this morning and this doctor slurs all his words together. He says under past surgical hx. "pacemaker A.I.D." and I'm not sure if that is all one procedure or if the A.I.D. is another surgery. I'm not able to find a surgery labeled as that, so I'm getting more and more confused by the minute. thanks in advance! ...

Finally! I Have A Lead On A Non MT Job
Jun 22, 2012
I'm beyond thrilled! I have a good lead on a non-MT job. I have been promised multiple things and they have never happened. No raise in many years. Someone tell me again, what are the benefits of being an IC when you have to do the work of so many other people PLUS transcribe? It's ridiculous. Years ago, when I didn't have to do the work of others plus mine, I made SO much more money. ...

Region Team Lead

Just read the MQ Central news about the pilot program for a new position called Region Team Lead (RTL). I'm already confused enough, I don't need a new acronym. They said the CTL would now be doing 100% QA and transcription. It didn't really specify who will be doing PTO requests, etc. (unless I overlooked it) I'm glad I already requested Christmas off and it was granted! Thanks CTL! I'll miss you! ...

How Do You Deal With A Very Rude Team Lead? I Work For Transcend And

have never been treated so badly at any company. My team lead sends out the nastiest e-mails I have ever received in my life. When I talked to my ROM (who is no longer there), she said I just needed to realize that this person had a very strong military background and that is "just how she is". I have been around a lot of military and most of them were taught to be tactful and at least half way nice. You never know what is going to set this one off or how she will react t ...
