free tibial edema? - lg


Posted: Jun 30, 2011

sentence s/l:  Trace pretibial and free tibial edema.

Does this sound correct? I have not been able to find any definition of "free tibial."

sentence s/l: Trace pretibial and free tibial edema.

I agree part of the sentence is "pretibial;" however, the dictator specifically says the sentence above and doesn't sound like he's backtracking or correcting himself. It's the second part of the sentence that confuses me ("free tibial edema").

I do ortho all the time--there is no such animal as "free tibial."

After working for MQ for nearly 5-1/2 years, I'm finally leaving.  The first 5 years were great!  Then they decided to force QAs to do transcription and ASR.  If I wanted to transcribe I would have applied for an MT job.  Not to mention the fact that I was making close to $16 an hour and now this has been reduce to around $11 and sometimes under $8.  It's MQs loss.  It's too bad they don't treat their valuable employees better.  I just love ...

Judging from some of the recent posts below, there looks to be an exodus of sorts from MModal and MT in general. I have joined that group. I left MModal last month to pursue another at-home job NOT IN MT with flexible schedule, hourly pay, and pays substantially more than what I made at MModal. Don't know what took me so long to "take the plunge" away from MT. After many years of MT with 12 of those years being with Medquist/MModal and the last 7 on the same accounts, I already miss the wo ...
