bilateral breast reduction with lateral chest suctioning via (Tuohmy???) system

An MRI of the lumbosacral spine, also done earlier this year, demonstrates severe neural canal stenosis at L3-4 and L4-5 with bilateral lateral recess and facement, worse in the right at L4-5 with proximal L5 nerve root compression. ...

This surgeon is dictating about an excision of this patient's "left frontal skull area. This was lipoma on pathology. She has ecchymosis in her bilateral lateral auricular area." Did he mean to use both "bilateral" and "lateral" or did he misspeak "bilateral" and correct it with "lateral?" I'm not sure if the two together makes sense. Thanks! ...

Alone in-house today and need a little help. "There is a vague nodular density overlying the anterior first rib approximately 15 mm which suspect is a bone island. The patient will be recalled for lordotic, reverse lordotic, and infused cone of the apices." Not sure of the bolded part and even less sure about the word apices. Thanks! He repeated himself a little clearer later on in the dictation. He said: "The patient will be recalled for lordotic/reverse lordotic vie ...

Anybody heard this term? I've looked everywhere! Thanks! ...

Hi all, There is a discrepancy with the proper use of this - can anyone help? Some at my work are saying it should be bilateral lower extremities, whereas others think it is bilateral lower extremity since the "bilateral" implies that it's plural and hence no need to say "lower extremities." I've seen it both ways, but the more that I think about it the more I'm getting myself confused. Any input would be greatly appreciated! ...

As with most of you, my pay from Medquist has taken a total nose dive ever since ASR went to 85% while at the same time cutting our transcription rate down for ASR from 70% to 60%. That's a 40% pay cut!!! I've had to take another job elsewhere to try to make ends meet. Besides that, our health benefits are the absolute worst and get worse every year. Can anyone ever remember any kind of cost of living raise? I used to make $36,000 annu ...

I cannot find documentation on this. The context appears to be the imaging and labs and the doctors have been dictating the system is down. Thank you for any help! ...

Why is it that we receive a reduced line rate when the blanks cannot be filled in by QA either? I've checked my feedback and most of the QA markers I left were also left blank by the QA person. So those reports should not count against us. How am I supposed to know what QA can hear or what they know? ...

Hoping everyone has found new and happy homes. Frightening to think we can so easily lose our job (through no fault of our own). I understand it was not just new people hired for that specific account but some of you had been there a while and were put on it and got zapped. I thought of asking for transfer to it simply because it was a large account. Wow, I dodged that bullet. Sorry you were not as lucky. Best of luck to you (and the rest of us). ...

I have worked for the same company since 2010. I received a phone call today that my primary account has demanded a "flat-rate price reduction" so my pay will also be reduced for my standard transcription line rate to "accomodate the client" and not lose the account. I do work on a speech rec platform and most of the reports are edited, but I have never had anything like this happen before. I like my company and the accounts I work on and there is usually plenty of work, but I ...

This has to be related to money...firing those making 9/5, 10/6, 8/4, and hiring at what, 7/3?? If you're a new hire for MM, please share your insights, or better yet, what is your line rate? ...

Seem to remember at one point they were reducing percentage paid on some platforms, there was a lot of hubaloo and then (if I am not mistaken) they went back on this and allowed them to be paid for full lines typed. Is my memory correct? Going by this I wonder if there is a ray of sunshine at the end of this long, long tunnel. Perhaps they will make further adaptations to this plan as they figure out it isn't workign well. This HEENT/HENT crap is totally unreal and that ...

Anyone familiar with a type of shoulder reduction technique for dislocated shoulder? Sounds like the doc is saying modified "Stitz" technique. ...

The e-mail I got said it has been reduced to 2 cents above your line rate. Bonus before was set at line rate and 1/2, which I thought they did because it would be the equivalent to "time and a half," which is, I believe, the law when you are working beyond 40 hours in a week. If you are working bonus, which is usually the case, above your 40 hours, is it legal for them not to pay the equivalent of time and a half? ...

Does anyone know what kind of reduction you get for filling out the Health Risk Assessment. Thanks in advance. ...

I just can't get going fast on these terrible accounts. I was doing 200 lph ST at my old job and nearly 400 lph VR (on EditScript) and I don't think I will EVER get this fast at MedQuist. I am really worried that in 2 weeks I will drop down low enough that I either won't get benefits or they will fire me or I will be making minimum wage. Worried... Rachel ...
