The doctor says: "Labs from the skilled nosary posability."
I was thinking "skilled nursing facility" but there are too many syllables. Could anything else go in there to make it sound complete?
Thanks! ...

same note with the Epstein-Barr virus
the bllank sound slike - If "NSDs" do not elucidate
We have elected to go ahead and repeat some blood work today, including another CBC, inflammatory markers, and serologies for EBV and CMV. If _____ do not elucidate a cause, as long as his CBC and chemistries are normal, I think that viral etiology still is the likely explanation and would recommend ongoing observation at this point. ...
This is what it sounds like.
"His WBC 11.48, and his 12.4 and 37.0 PT/PTT were normal."
It seems like "PT/PTT were normal." Should be a sentence on its own, but then I'm not sure what the 12.4 and 37.0 lab values would be for. Grr...
Any help would be greatly appreciated! ...
doctor reads off investigations as:
Glucose is 5.7.Sodium 132.Potassium 4.2.Urea 11.Creatinine 111.

I just got a note from QA for a hospital I transcribe for (didn't even know we had QA!) that I have been transcribing platelets incorrectly.
D: Hemoglobin 14, hematocrit 39, platelet count 200, WBC 2000,... etc.,
T: Hemoglobin 14, hematocrit 39, platelet count 200, WBC 2000,
Corrected: T: Hemoglobin 14, hematocrit 39, platelet count 200,000, WBC 2000...
I've been transcribing this way for 15 years, will do whatever the account wants but I've looked ...
I am in need of an online reference to search labs. I'm looking but not really sure what I'm finding is reliable. Anyone who has a reliable online source to look up labs I would greatly appreciate the assistance! ...
Can anyone help with any tips on numbers? I work in speech recognition as most of us do now and I am having the hardest time with numbers. The account I am on has high ESL also, but even without that, I can't seem to get values correct 100% of the time to save my life. Examples are hearing a 0 instead of an 8 such as 130 instead of 138 or hearing a 2 instead do a 3 or even in platelets thinking I am hearing a value of 300,000 versus 200,000. If it is a profile that doesn't make sense ...

but for labs, we can't put in IU/L? should it be internationa units per liter
and for IU/mL, do we put in international units per mL or international units per milliliter?
Thanks. ...
Don't you hate it when dictators give the labs with the values first - like 147 sodium, 4.2 potassum, etc and then switch it part way through back to glucose 110 - that gets me so screwed up. ...
Does anyone have a good source of labs for H&Ps that are grouped in proper groups so I can quickly look and know when to put the period and start another group?
I'm looking for a quick reference sheet or something that I can refer to without having to go look up the things that I don't remember. I'm trying to learn them all but there are just so many that it's overwhelming at times.
I'd even take a Word document if you have created your own references.

This patient could possibly have gout, fibromyalgia, OA, RA, psoriasis...among other possibilities. "Check rheumatology labs, including rheumatoid factor, anti-CCP, ANA, sed rate, CRP, CMP, CBC, Lyme. The patient had a s/l 'dipsticks all the time.' Check an ACE." The doctor did pause after "had a" so that may not be part of the sentence. In that case, it sounds kind of like, "The patient gets sticks all the time." I'm not sure if either makes sense. She does mention ...
Doc is referring patient for labs to rule out rheumatoid arthritis. He's listed these a million times and always says "CCP level." This time he said "citrullinated cross-linked peptides." I'm thinking he just doesn't know what CCP stands for, as I can only find "cyclic citrullinated peptide". He's not a rheumatologist, but then again, neither am I. Can someone with rheumatology experience weigh in? ...
