An electrocardiogram shows sinus rhythm. There are decreased right ventricular __(s/l) tor-ses__ and a left ventricular strain pattern. Left axis deviation is present.
can you hear decreased R-wave progression? - possibly
1. Combine the 2 largest companies .... a lot of MTs.
2. Developing technology, such as Epic, leading to needing less MTs.
3. Offshoring, for less; thus, losing accounts but not MTs.
4. Summer vacation for many doctors resulting in less work after Buyout.

I originally posted this as a reply to another poster, but wanted to re-post it so that everyone could see and understand why our pay has decreased so drastically the past year. This is an excerpt from notes to financial statements in MQ SEC filing obtained from www.faqs.org:
"Cost of revenues decreased $4.0 million, or 7.5% to $49.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with $53.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This decrea ...
I heard that KS has recently reduced everyone's line rates by 1 cent and only pay a flat fee for radiology reports now. Which other MTSOs have done this? ...
Sounds like he is saying ventricular/atrial fibrillation, maybe ventriculoartrial fibrillation?
I am unable to verify this condition. Can anyone help?

Since the transition, I have not gotten nearly as much ILP QA as I used to. Not much in the way of US MTs either, but I expect that with their blank contest. I have a feeling they have made ILP work only QA'd by ILPs now without the extra step through US QA. If that is the case, there is going to be a lot more garbage reports going to the hospitals, especially considering ILP QA barely even look at reports before sending them on. ...
In the past 4 years, my productivity requirements have risen 40 LPH, in 2014 our productivity bonus was taken away, now in 2015 our passing QA scores have been increased. I feel sorry for anyone entering the MT field these days. ...
Is there a type of scan that s/l sustemembic scan that can reveal a left ventricular ejection fraction of 38% w/ no significant wall motion abnormalities? I can't find anything close anywhere and this is my first time transcribing this doctor. Thanks! ...
There is a first-degree atrial ventricular block. There is one beat with a variant conduction, perhaps an intermittent right bundle branch block.
Does this make sense? Thanks.

I was working for a company that got bought out by another company and the client I was typing for was paying 12 cents a line, now the new company will only give me 7.5 cents a line for the same client. This client is ESL and very hard to learn and his files are always 10+ minutes each. They told me I would eventually get 10 cents for him, but that was almost 6 months ago and still only get 7.5. I have asked for a raise to at least 8 cents and they denied me. What would y ...
I've had time to think about this whole First Time Right plan.  I've seen a lot in my 32 yrs in the business and in my humble opinion, I think it will be okay except for the part about CPL being decreased if the QA submission rate is too high. There must be an alternative other than taking away hard earned pay. Anyone else agree? ...
I know this is hopeless, but here's the sentence: "Patient had echocardiogram done showing marked s/l leeterdeezed left ventricular systolic function." I suppose the "deezed" could be disease, but I don't know...
HELP! ...
I am transcribing a cardiology lecture by a doctor, and he is talking about cardiovascular disease and pregnancy:
"The blood pressure typically is decreased by about "tentor" during pregnancy, but if you have low blood pressure associated with symptoms, it is felt to be abnormal."
Tentore? Tintor, tintore? Tem tore? ugh ...
