Stedman's Medical Dictionary: Venae comitantes
A pair of veins, but occasionally more, that closely accompany an artery in such a manner that the pulsations of the artery aid venous return. Syn: companion veins.
A wire would not pass across the mediastinum. I changed to a straight wire from the J-wire and was able to pass into the atrium. I "daughter" dilated this area. ...
PLEASE NO NEGATIVE FEEDBACK! This is truly meant to be helpful, not snotty, threatening, or negative so I expect the same in return.
Military time: Lately I have seen a lot of reports where people are inserting colons in military time. Colons are NOT used for military time unless the hour, minute, AND seconds are given. If the CP states that time is transcribed "3:00 a.m." this is for "regular" time and not military time.
Spacing: TWO spaces after periods that end ...
During your search for work, if you see a "transcription company" seeking one of us for immediate work due to falling desperaetly behind on contracts, check some of the MT forums. If MT's are trashing said "transcription company" and you see a lengthy, detailed defensive response from said "transcription company"; think......maybe the reason the said "transcription company" is behind on their contracts is because they are not utilizing someone, who has the time and ability to reply at great ...
I swear, these so-called intelligent doctors have no common sense at all. Let's see how much noise we can have in the backgroun and talk as fast as we possibly can to see if the transcriptionist can get my dictaion right. This guy talks so fast I don't even know how he can get the words clearly out of his mouth, then he must have called someone on speaker phone because I can hear the phone ringing and ringing and ringing, and then his pager goes off which of course he pulls close ...
I have a friend who had an accident last weekend, an MT, broke her right arm and right lower leg, she called and left a voice mail wtih her supervisor because she had no other way to contact her on the weekend. She then called again Monday morning before going back for surgery on her leg and left another VR for the supervisor, her daughter followed up with an e-mail explaining what had happened and do you believe this company has not even acknowledge it, not even to say we are so sorry, ho ...
I used to teach grammar and I now do MT work. One of the most common hyphen errors lies in the short arm cast, long arm cast.
This does not get hyphenated. By hyphenating it (short-arm cast), one is actually stating there's also a long arm. It's a short (or long) cast that is worn on the arm, not a cast for a short arm or a long arm.

Is it common to not be able to meet line counts at Nuance? I have been there close to 3 months and cannot make my line count basically due to having some many ESLs and having to correct so many things in VR. Very frustrated!! ...
Is it common to NOT have tab functions, auto correct, or a grammar checker on a "transcription program". We just got Inscribe and it is about as basic as it comes, not Word comparable - not even close - without tabs, Autocorrect or grammar check. I feel like I'm in the dark ages here.

Lately the doctors have been spelling out so many common words, some are even enunciating fully now, which is nice, the enunciating not the spelling, that wastes my time..Makes me think that our out of country counterparts are maybe messing up in a HUGE way..Most of us know the words/phrases/slang they use and fix it. I just see so much in docqumanage that makes my jaw drop. ...
I'm curious if this is throughout a lot of MT companies where the summer seasons are the slowest in terms of receiving work. I used to have an abundunt amount of doctors to transcribe for across multiple accounts, but now all of a sudden that has changed, and I am almost always out of work and I no longer transcribe for what I'm estimating as half to 3/4 of the list of docs. Is this something normal? Do doctors get together and take a 3-month hiatus at once, or something...? I'm p ...
that is less than 30 lines; dictator who repeats every sentence with 1 subtle change; DEAD AIR, etc. It is stressful enough that I'm losing money today but to be stressed out about line count and being perfect...I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!! ...
I interview with a company and they pay per report for VR. I haven't heard anyone talking that. They pay 60 to 70 cents per report. Is this good? Feedback is appreciated. Thanks guys!! ...
