Stress Test help - newbie
Posted: Sep 12, 2011
After a Bruce protocol stress test says "It was an appropriate ______ response." Kind of sounds like allotropic which doesn’t make sense to me. THANKS!!
He dictates: Nuclear stress test using s/l rag-oh-DYE-noh-scan ....
He not so helpfully spells it "rageodescan" which is not correct and does not help at all in a search.
Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks. ...
Would like anyone's opinion regarding how METS should be typed in reference to a stress test. I have been typing it as METS for yrs and yrs, now on a newer account it was corrected to METs. I've found it both ways when researching. TIA for input. ...
I cannot understand what is being said at the end of this sentence as the doctor stumbles over the word and I don't have much experience when it come to stress test to be able to figure out which word this should be (under procedures). "1. Cardiac stress test. She had normal hemodynamic response to pharmocologic therapy. Clinically negative for ischemia, chest is negative for ischemia, (sensographically) negative for ischemia or infarct." Also, should I make each ischemia ...
I quit my job due to health issues and my stress level has gone way down. I worked for 8 years here and it was okay. There were tough times, but it was mostly okay because my TSM/CCM left me alone but were accessible if needed. They answered my emails and phone calls (even though there were about 5 or so different ones through the years). It was just aggravating when good accounts would go to ASR. But, I don't have to worry anymore. Hope things get better ...
No more microscopic QA dissection for me. My new plan is to shoot the job full of blanks and send it in - far less stressful for sure.
Each and every time I hear something that I am not 100% sure of - they get a blank. This is not now nor was it ever MY personal problem. Today I'm quite tired of being penalized for someone else's inability to dictate clear enough to perfectly discern what was said. No more cleaning up sentences either. QA: Verbatim you want? Verbatim you get. ...
I finally got to the point I hated time for work. I went through 2 buyouts and it just seemed to get worse. I have watched QA people busted down due to not getting enough lines per hour, which is impossible when there's not enough work, and when most of the acute care work was 100% listens. I got ONE raise in 7 years yet the duties kept piling on and found out some were making 4.00 an hour more than me in lower positions. On days off you were expected to join meetings no m ...
I've found a wonderful way to reduce stress while working long hours. It reduces dramatically the times I've wanted to choke some of the bad dictators I seem to constantly get. It's called ShoutCast and it's free internet radio. You don't need to download anything if you have WinAmp on your PC. It plays nonstop, no commercials, etc. I keep the volume very low at 1 or 2 on the WinAmp player so it plays in the background through my headset and ...
Hi, I have a repair of bladder incontinence using an Align sling. It sounds like he is saying "the s/l pool tube sucker was used for spacing." It could be pull-tip sucker or something like that, but I can't find anything that would help. ...
as they ramp up for summer. Having people off means we have to work harder and more OT because we've just been having such an easy time of it. Warnings and threatenings. All they know. Turn around times not being met? It's because we're so lazy. Hiring all the time? Still not enough staff; never enough staff. Cheery picking; never addressed. Rotten VR; never addressed. Never knowing what work, which doctors, or work types your're going to be doing anymore; never addressed. Co ...
Under the heading Raw data, "Lung/heart ratio is within normal limits. There was moderate s/l "gut" initial artifact seen.
He is an ESL doctor so I purely guessing on the "gut"......just sounds like a g or c, but could be anything! Thanks..... ...
The doctor said the stress echocardiogram did not show any evidence of ischemia and then what sounds like "oxine dry drop" from 99 to 92 with exertion. Any ideas? ...
I'm gonna blow...STRESS???? MT/MME is STRESS, pure stress... having to have all the knowledge (which has to be equivalent with coding), and then having to CHURN out reports at warp speed, and PERFECT...BACK-BREAKING, wrist numbing, neck stiffening PHYSICAL LABOR, too.. Mental and physical STRESS. to try and make minimum wage.. PRODUCTION PAY.. NOTHING is more stressful than PRODUCTION... no matter the industry. That, my friends, is STRESS. And warp speed production ...
Doc is doing a knee exam for large meniscal tear and bone-on-bone medial compartment OA. He says what sounds like "Simons first test" caused grade 4 posterolateral tenderness.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Andrea ...
I must really need the caffeine to kick in thiis morning! it sounds like the RN is saying the patient had a stress induced "non- stemmy" as well as acute CHF- any ideas? It is obviously something to do with a cardiac condition. ...
