Ok. I have a question about how to properly transcribe PSA values. In every previous job I have had transcribing urology notes, I was told that if they give you a single number like 1,2,3..to transcribe it as 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, etc. I would get in trouble if I left off the .0 after the number. I also think this looks better on paper. However, my editor on this account (who I think is very old-school) says to leave the .0 off. What do you guys think?
I already had ...

I am having such difficulty concentrating today. All these ASR charts with at least 4-5 corrections per sentence. What a waste. Probably minimum wage today. My dog used to listen to me vent when no one else was around, wagged her tail and put her head on my lap as I typed, but she had to be put down in Feb:(
Sorry, just needed to vent to someone who understands, unlike my DH, kids and all my friends who think I have a great job working at home! I guess it ...
Okay, so I know what has been happening the past few months, but since it didn't affect me directly, I just kinda put it out of my mind. But since the first of the month, my BOB is out of work during my shift (late afternoon/early evening). This has never happened before. Wondering if it is because daytime people are switching to later hours or my work is going overseas? Not NJA yet, just unfamiliar work for the majority of my shift. If this is how it's go ...

I keep getting dinged for comma usage, and I'm not one to overuse them, though I fully support the use of an Oxford comma. I am old school, and I've been taught the following about commas
1) They go before a conjunction when what could be complete sentence follows.
2) They do not go before or after (unless there is a strange circumstance, i.e, "indeed" or some such wording thrown in) a conjunction w/o a complete sentence following it.
My hospitals are "modified ver ...
Lately, I've been checking my hourly production, every hour on the hour.
