Hi,
Its being said the patient wants to take Lamisil in a pulsed dose situation. I was wondering if a hyphen is needed or not between 'pulsed' and 'dose'; or is it just 'a pulse dose' fashion?? Help would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance! ...
The doctor is not including the word mg with doses of medication. Do I just transcribe what I hear or insert it?
IE- simvastatin 10, vitamin E 400 b.i.d., metformin 850 b.i.d., ibuprofen 400 p.r.n ...
I'm having a little trouble with this medication dictation.
"3. Methotrexate 25 mg/mL 0.9 cc weekly injection." Then she says "4 needles 1 mL (s/l u or unit)/125 g1."
What I can't figure out is if she is saying 4 needles or if she is dictating the #4 and "needles" is a medication that I can't find a match to online. Can anyone shed some light here, please? ...

Hey all,
I am trying to figure out if Pristiq can be dosed at 225 mg? The website I use for dosing doesn't say that. The doctor says, "two twenty-five mg daily." He doesn't say two hundred and twenty-five mg daily. However, I see that Pristiq comes in 50 mg, so if the dose was 50 mg why would he say 2 - 25 mg? LOL! Just checking to see if anyone has an idea.
Thanks,
Chris ...
If a doctor dictates
Glucotrol 10 mg p.o. a.c. and b.s. - i got the a.c. but what does the b.s mean? I thought maybe b.s. was before supper, but that would not make any sense. before meals and before supper?
AND

Regarding the DLP - I've seen it written variously mGy-cm, mGy•cm and mGy.cm.
Becuase it's a product, my inclination is think that the second (with the dot used as in mathmetical publications to indicate multiplication) is correct but just not sure.
Anyone have a definitive answer & reference?
Thanks :) ...

Would I write the following with subscript? I thought subscript was frowned upon. Would I abbreviate part of "per cubic gram patient weight"
The patient received a total of 224 x 10 to the eighth nucleated cells or 0.37 x 10 to the eighth with a total CD 3 dose of 16.96 x 10 to the sixth per cubic gram patient weight. ...
It may be that a total dose of 36 Gy is not necessary, and lowering the dose to 25 to 30/60 may be an appropriate approach, if there is a CR to chemotherapy. ...

How would I write "pulse ox" in this sentence? "Still not interested in an overnight pulse ox, which I wanted to get last visit." I've seen it every which way (pulse ox, Pulseox, PulseOx, etc.) online and I'm not entirely sure which one is correct, if any.
Thanks!! ...
I'm trying to figure out what this doctor means. He's dictating the vitals signs and says "pulse DT and regular." He's clearly saying "DT" (not "DP" or "PT"), but I can't reference it anywhere. Any help? Thanks :)

At the end of the survey, there is a section for comments. Although I'm sure this survey will change/help nothing, being able to leave this comment did make me feel a little better:
By far, this is the worst company I've ever worked for in over 25 years. Punitive QA and FIESA errors counted as major, which are NOT. At Webmedx, I received an incentive for lines typed, NOT based on trumped down QA scores to keep me from obtaining it. Since Nuance entered my life ...
Is it possible for a patient to have a pulse rate of 178? That seems really high and doesn't help when the doc is mumbling, but that is what she says.

178 seems high, but unsure if its okay

My speech rec continually transcribes "pulse ox" as "pulsox". I have never seen it this way before -- thoughts on whether this is an acceptable format (since abbrevs are allowed) or should be changed to "pulse ox".
Thanks! ...
