Barrett or Barretts - TeacherturnedMT
[ In Reply To ..]In my account, and what I learned in school, you can either use Barrett mucosa or Barretts mucosa (depending on account preference) but never use the apostrophe.
I would go with Dorland's and/or BOS, not sure why someone would - tell you to never use the apostrophe, nm
[ In Reply To ..].
No, Teacher, that is entirely incorrect - sm
[ In Reply To ..]If you drop the possessive form, you use Barrett. If you use the possessive form, you use Barrett's.
Never do you just drop the apostrophe!
If dictated with the "s" type as Barrett's, from the English Surgeon - Norman Rupert Barrett, sm
[ In Reply To ..]Try Dorland's under Barrett's epithelium, BOS - It is important to note, however, that use of the possessive form remains an
acceptable alternative if dictated and/or if indicated as the preference by
employer or client.
Thanks for the input. Appreciate it greatly! - nm

see example - oldtimer
[ In Reply To ..]On endoscopy, there is evidence of Barrett mucosa in the distal esophagus.
On endoscopy, there is evidence of Barrett's in the distal esophagus. (notice the absence of mucosa)
I agree your account preferences are to be adhered to first.
I personally do not see the logic behind all this and think that medical innovators deserve the 's.

I'M SOO CONFUSED!
Oct 26, 2009
Certainly nothing new to be confused over QA, but this one is really confusing me. Perhaps I missed the memo. I had mL changed to cc by QA. Yes, dictator stated cc, but I surely do remember being told to use mL instead so why was it changed to cc....not sure. The other change was 12 mm changed to 12-mm. Confused by this one as well.....that's my typing vent for the day! Thanks for listening : ) ...

I am sure in the real world the company that employs you will give you what format to use. However, in school I am suppose to know. Enough rambling! What I am confused about is the subheadings. As I transcribe the various pract ...

NJA --- I Am So Confused
Dec 27, 2011
OK I get NJA, change Schedule Source to work availability, then I get a job 10 minutes into it, now what? I know I don't get paid for 10 minutes of NJA/work availability. Clock out and back in under production? Will I get in trouble for the 10 minutes of work availability? Then if I get NJA again, clock back out of production and back into work availability and SEE if it goes the full 15 minutes??????????? I need a tutorial on this I guess. Any suggestion ...
Thanks For All The Help, But I Am Still Confused
Dec 29, 2011
the posters were as well. You have to punch out of production to change to "work availability" and I was under the impression you can't type while in "work availability" so you have to clock out and back in under "production" if you get a job during that 15 minute wait period. I am in agreement that it is ridiculous, but if I think the whole day is going to be slow I just want to wait the required 15 minutes and be RELEASED for the rest of my shift, however, it is so confu ...

Would you take an insurance transcription job at WorldWide Transcription that pays .06 per line, has lots of work, and offers a M-F schedule.

I am not sure the line pay yet, but was contacted by a recruiter today? Thanks and please do not be nasty. :) ...

I am just venting!!! Somewhere along the line I guess I misunderstood the whole concept behind VR. I have a real hard time understanding why a bunch of words, many that don't make any sense or even sound like what is dictated, in no type of formatting constitutes a report; VR dictation that needs to be restructured and pretty much retyped but yet I get paid less and required to do it faster than a real "typed" report. My research on VR is #1 the dictator has to b ...

Does BayScribe only count the total time you're actually 'in' reports as the time that's weighed against your server time? In other words, when you're logged into Bayscribe's main menu and not actually transcribing a report, those minutes aren't being added in, are they? I hope I'm not confusing you guys! Thanks in advance for clearing this up for dense me! ...

Confused Incentive And OT
Oct 17, 2009
Okay so here we go. In the past my boss has said that the incentive does not mean that OT is approved. Three weeks ago she said that since it was an incentive then we all could work extra. Then two weeks ago said that OT is not automatically approved during an incentive. Now she states, "I know all of you are worried about there not being work in our group because of the incentive, but it is there. Since there is an incentive go ahead and take advantage of it as much as y ...

Still Confused About Tax Deductions.
Nov 20, 2011

I've been on the IRS website but that's confusing. Don't have the money to consult a CPA right now. Don't want to take a job as an IC if this is a mistake.

Another thing I was wondering about since we were not given any written paperwork on the new pay rate and incentive details is didn't the new pay rate go in effect Dec 17th? I thought that ...
