not really feasible to look for another job outside home. I live in a very small town and care for my aging mother who is not in the best of health. Right now I'm really feeling a major period of burn-out with transcription. Most days, I'm ready to throw my hands up and quit, just walk away from it, but then I see my checkbook laying on my desk as a reminder that I can't do that. I'm tired of trying to understand mushmouth practitioners, those who talk at the speed of light, ...

OP report - repair of left internal iliac artery aneurysm
"We then advanced a 0.035 Glidewire back through this sheath. Then with a (sounds like Burn) catheter, we selected for the left internal iliac artery and advanced the (Burn?) catheter into the aneurysm and into a large inferior branch, which was feeding the aneurysm distally."
I cannot document this anywhere. I found Burhenne steerable catheter, but I don't believe they are used in endovascular repairs.

If the client profile makes no mention of patient name (yes or no) being left in the report, account does not specify verbatim, is the ADHI/JCAHO directive to type the patient's name or replace with "the patient?" Just checkin'. Am paranoid about everything with the audits these days. ...
I swear to all that is holy, this is what this less-than-stellar PA just dictated:
"The patient IS a high-risk gestational trophoblastic disease..." I went back and listened thinking I must have heard wrong and she said patient HAS ... Nope. She said IS. This is the same PA who dictated a creatinine of 92 for someone.
That sound you hear is me hitting my head on the desk. ...
