MD dictated "The right thoracic cavity (s/l with or was ??? something I can't understand) a separate chest tube? (Maybe something like withstood, sustained, was made) Any ideas?
I'm typing an operative report...the doctor recorder is playing VERY fast and I'm trying to decipher what she's saying.

The MT profession has really gone down the tubes. I have no desire to do this anymore and that's why I've been training for other things. These Quality Control people have nit picked to the point I just cannot stand it anymore (forgetting "the" or taking out "the") and the other extremely petty crap that they ding for (and it has no bearing on patient care whatsoever). Who wants to work like this anymore (and for the rotten pay on top of that to boot)? It never used to be like ...

Okay, I really have to ask this and get this out of my system. As an MT, if you work as an IC, and you commit to be available during a rough time period, do you feel that it is okay not to show up when you are supposed to? I find myself very aggravated this evening. I am a QA for a company who has been beaten about on this board several times, but at the same time, if you take a job and commit to something, shouldn't you show up when you say you will? Is it right for ...

Its my day off and all I do is think about what awful thing they will do to me next. I literally have chest pain. I am scared all the time. I am scared when I am typing that I am making a mistake.

I am really really really (times pi) sickened but I figure if I write it here I can go to work and try to hang in there. I got the quarterly bonus and qualify for most times the weekly ones (depending on OOW situation and or if there are so many ESL a week I can't get the goal lines). Anyway, I have this high QA score on my weekly time sheet which is figured quarterly. Now, for the past 2 weeks, I am informed by TL that my quality is 98.6%, that I have in excess of 50, yes 50 critical error ...
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.

This is a young male patient who came to the ER with tachycardia and chest pain that eventually resolved and who was taking amphetamines (although he lied and said he wasn't and then wouldn't admit it).

I've been an MT for 14 years and never once heard of clubbing and cyosis in the lungs. In the exam he says - The lung fields are well expanded and clear to percussion and auscultation. There is no clubbing or cyanosis.
Then he goes into the heart, abdomen, the extremities. Would it be correct to leave it under the lungs or do you think he's just all over the board. I cannot find anything that relates clubbing and cyanosis with the lungs, but wanted to ask firs ...
