Trailing 0's, is this just in meds or does it include measurements, like 8.0 mm? thx

I know this has been discussed gazillion times, but let me make sure I have this straight: Do you only drop the trailing zero on medications. Keep it there for labs and instruments? ...

My issues started Sunday before I upgraded, when the same problems came up, document extremely slow, lost some Command Key functions, tortuous work. After I upgraded, this stopped. But M/T/W the sound quality was bad, terrible on a few jobs but I tolerated it, until Wed when ithat's all I seemed to get, loud old phone-line bad connection clicking, voices trailing off on each word, had a dickens of a time filling in all the blanks, 1 report for 1 hour, the others about 3/4 hour e ...

Hi all, Out of curiousity, we have some radiology doctors here who use the abbreviation 'cc' when referring to measurements that are non-liquid. We usually change cc to mL but in that case it does not seem appropriate. Has anyone else come across this and is this the proper abbreviation to use, or is there another one we should know about, or are the doctors using the incorrect terms? Thanks for any input anyone out there can give me! Maggie ...

He is giving the list of measurements on the echo and says what only s/l fraction 27%. It is not ejection fraction because he lists that later as 40%. ...

If the doc does not dictate .0 after measurements, is it correc to type it anyway? i.e. 11.0 x 12.0 x 1.2 cm or 11 x 12 x 1.2 cm? ...

So I'm not completely clear on this. I know liquid measurements are grammatically to be treated singly--"20 mL of normal saline was given." My question is whether this applies when it's not necessarily a liquid measurement but is currently applied to a liquid. The sentence is "Then, 4000 units of heparin [was/were] given." I want to pick 'were', mainly because 'was' sounds wrong and 'units' are not a solely liquid measurement like m ...

Am considering a position and have completed the testing process. Seems there are always after-the-fact issues that people wish they would have known to address before jumping on board. Would like to get some ideas beforehand if possible. Thanks in advance for any insight you can share. ...

I see so many requests for help with words without providing any info but what the word sounded like. For most of these it isn't possible to help without knowing the sentence used (changing/omitting anything that would be a HIPAA violation, of course). Other details that could help would be patient's diagnoses, type of specialty or what heading it is under (Past Medical History, Allergies, Medications, Social hx, etc). ...

.. in the "total hours" for the week when calculating our C-LPH? My 15-min OOW punches from this past week were included in my total hours. If they had NOT included those OOW punches when they were calculating my C-LPH, I would have been put into the next tier... just barely... but I WOULD have made it into the next tier. I emailed my TSM about it this morning but still haven't heard back yet. Is this the norm? I could have sworn I read in the handbook that OOW punches are ...

I'm an ex-Transcender and when I was approving my time sheet this morning I noticed that my time sheet said my percentage sent to QA was 20.2%. I have NOT sent this many reports to QA as blanks, but have sent a lot of stuff due to discrepancies, no demographics match, no dictation, etc. Are they seriously counting stuff that we have NO control over against us for purposes of denying bonuses? I asked my TSM if that would be the case after we got news of the new pay cuts and ...

Hi, I'm transcribing a doctor's note that's describing the patient's allergies and how the patient has tried various OTC drugs, including 'pseudometafecin' but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to spell that correctly; I've tried all of the different variations that I can think of (sudometofecin, pseudometaphecin, etc.) and tried looking up 'allergy medications' and coming up with squat. I have a feeling I'm very close to how it may ...

I know we should type the sentence below as: Advair 250/50 1 puff twice a day but to me, that looks like it could be confusing when the dosage and amount of med are so close together. I know we're not supposed to do it like this but this is what I type instead: Advair 250/50 one puff twice a day. Am I committing a horrible crime here? ...
