"She is describing a recent change in bowel habits with fluffy, floaty stools."

Could that be right?  I can't even picture what a "fluffy" stool would look like!

like the shape of a cloud instead of snake-like in appearance. I've actually heard docs use that term before.

Thanks for confirming. That is strange and funny - in a gross sort of way.

I can't say as I've ever heard fluffy stools, so I just wanted to make sure you're not hearing frothy, which is used quite a bit, especially in conjunction with the whole floating thing (usually in patients with malabsorption, liver or pancreas disease, and a host of others.

Didn't mean to imply if I haven't heard it, it doesn't exist - Oracle

Just depending on the dictator, I could see one how would sound like the other much more frequently heard term, and just figured I'd throw it out there.

You are absolutely correct...sm - GT

it could be frothy as well. What a dilemma....deciding whether stools are frothy, fluffy, or anything in between. :)

The contemplation of which I'll gladly leave to the OP!! - Oracle n/m

I just heard that the 2 largest MTSOs in the world are approaching virtually every large to medium-sized hospital and medical center in the country with an offer for 10 cpl for transcription.  I'm not even sure who the 2 largest are, but I'm pretty sure one of them is CBay and both are offshore companies to be able to offer that rate.  This is really concerning because this could lower the rates for U.S. MTs even MORE or could literally put all U.S. companies out of ...

to escape from MT or supplement, that is patient advocate.  This piece on the radio said there were only a couple hundred or so in the US right now and need could be increasing rapidly.  At this time no licensing or even training required, but a lot of us have already taken on this role with sick relatives, parents, etc.  To me this sounds a lot more interesting than scribe, and could pay better too.  Thoughts?   The only thing is I would not know how to go about getting ...
