A recent _____ and Beta-2 microglobulins were checked, and the results are pending.
Sounds like Pess-step (he's eating, so it is hard to hear)
Thanks!
...
The patient has relapsed multiple myeloma. The doc is saying the goal is to start her on s/l BRD with the hope of getting her to an excellent remission. TIA. ...
We will have the patient seen by anesthesia preop to make sure the pacemaker is properly cared for during the surgical procedure, which requires general anesthesia, and the use of the s/l **bovig** during the surgery. Thanks!! ...
Does anybody know how long a report stays in our specific work pool? I've done a break on a report hoping to get rid of it. But it keeps showing back up. I'm trying to make up some sick time, but I just can't understand this garble and have already spent way too much time trying to decipher it. I've been checking on and off for the last 30 minutes and it keeps showing back up. Help!!!! ...
you wanted to quit mid shift????? Sigh. I had one of those yesterday. Everytime I see his name come up in my cue I cringe!!!! He is horrible. Horrible accent. I did notice though after doing about 3 or 4 of his reports, my ears becames "trained" on him and I get better with him as time went by. But still, he is one that just makes my momentum (sp) drop drastically!
Just venting!!!
Thanks for letting me share. ...
What do you do if you are typing on a document for 780 seconds and the dictator at the very end tells you to cancel this and erase everything because she already dictated it? In all my years I was lucky enough not to get this until now. I was thinking about sending it in anyway because I just spent all this time on it!!!! ...
This doctor says "ah" inbetween just about every other word. So I'm spending all my time in the ASR taking out a bunch of "a's"!!! Wouldn't normally ah vent, but I've ah had her a lot ah today! ...
Coumadin 30 mg per day.
Now, I want to make sure I'm not dreaming here, but that is completely incorrect, right?
Maybe I'm having a brain lapse (been an MT for 20 years) but I want to make sure my thinking is correct that this dosage would probably be lethal?
I'm going to leave a blank for the dosage, but I just wanted to double check with my MT friends. I have listened to it many times, and she is positively saying "30 mg per day."
TIA!! ...
This is what it sounds like.
"His WBC 11.48, and his 12.4 and 37.0 PT/PTT were normal."
It seems like "PT/PTT were normal." Should be a sentence on its own, but then I'm not sure what the 12.4 and 37.0 lab values would be for. Grr...
Any help would be greatly appreciated! ...
I am just curious as to what speed setting to most of you keep it on when doing ASR? I try to keep mine between 8 and 9 unless it's an extremely slow dictator. I would like to increase my line count, but I'm afraid if I speed it up too much I might miss something. ...
What do you do when you absolutely cannot understand what the dictator is saying and you work at home on your own. Can you call the dictator? Can you request to review the other medical records because chances are, the dictator is saying the same thing that appear on those records? ...
ESL dictator with very thick accent states: ...for antibiotic management. NOT with antibiotic management. Please learn to transcribe correctly.
Although it wasn't me who made the mistake, it was all I could do to not put in the QA note: A female is SHE and male is HE and it is vomit not WOMIT, please learn to dictate correctly.
I so wish it was okay to put QA notes to the dictators. ...
This ANP who is dictating can't make up her mind what she wants to say and constantly corrects herself and then keeps yawning, but doesn't stop the recording or even stop speaking while she's yawning. It's annoying me PLUS it's making me sleepy now myself.
More coffee, please!!!! ...
I know this is petty, but for some reason, it grates on my nerves to hear: blah, blah Period space space. Or Colon space space enter.
I mean, please, are we considered that incompentent? but on the other end of the spectrum we have those that don't say any punctuation, which is absolutely fine, but a pause would be nice. It's not necessary to dictate a whole report in one breath. ...
on the phone to correct their grammer? I have this one who always says "chynosis" for cyanosis and "catheterism" for catheterization. It was funny at first, but now very irritating!
Thanks for the vent. ...
What is the rule on filling in mg or mcg, etc., if the dictator just says "Lasix 20." (if the account is not verbatim, should this always be filled in by the transcriptionist?)
Thanks! ...
Just need to vent about my ESL doc who decided at 11 last night he needed to dictate all of his H&Ps for the week. He's not very good at his best but his yawning is giving me tons of blanks and it drives me crazy not being able to get it, so have to listen 20 times to try to get one extra word, which of course takes much longer than his 5 minutes of dictation should require! Really wish he would pick a weekday to talk since I only do weekends for this hospital! ...
Dictated ... "EGD that allowed chronic GERD, with small total chronic S/L destoration"
I have tried to hear chronic ulceration but that is not it. Does anyone else have a clue, please?
Thanks in advance! ...
Mumbly dictator
First he clearly dictates a drop-fem test of which I am dumbfounded. As well as on an imaging report post total hip arthroplasty he dictated what sounds like he is stating.." Vasser clause wires are in place from previous surgery" Is there such a thing...have checked all my books, and online to no avail.
Any ideas? I think my ears are beginning to tune this guy out, he is awful! Thanks in advance!! ...
