I'm not sure what movement of the joints is being described here..."Contracture deformities with (s/l contraction) of the PIPs and hyperextension of the DIPs." I didn't think "contraction" was a type of movement doctors used to test patients' joints. ...
Does anyone have a sample of this?
I think it should just be:
1. Hello
2. Goodbye
3. Etc.
However, when I attempt to look it up, it seems much more complicated. ...
The text of this post explains why it is never, ever, ever safe to utilize the email function associated with this board. Nuance really wishes this truth-telling forum would just go away, but all they are really capable of doing is blocking your computer's access to it. And yes, they do it even on computers that you personally own, not just the ones they provide. Their favorite ploy is to come on here posing as a very helpful MT and innocently suggesting, "I'm not really comfortable po ...
This is my first MRI transcription.
I cannot make out a word that sounds like "blike" or "blyke"? This is the context:
T1 and dual spin-echo weighted a blike and coronal, and T1-weighted a blike sagittal and gradient echo axial images of the left shoulder was performed....
Thanks! ...
It's been my experience that when there's a deluge of work all at once to be finished up, it's because the hospital/company is about to switch gears, with the MT suffering the most. I'm not financial savvy, but I wonder if this latest MOT stuff is related to the recent bankruptcy, that possibly the reserve money to pay the MTs is running out, so the company is about to go under or sell out. Something's up for sure. ...
I've been in healthcare documentation for over 7 years. The well is drying up, it seems that almost nobody is hiring, and the ones that are want the whole class to be as good as the valedictorian, if you know what I mean (and the medical industry as a whole seems bound and determined to destroy employee rights). Can my experience get me something in legal transcription or something else more stable? I can't afford more schooling, I got bills to pay. ...
purchased a book on eBay. The member not only accepted my pay and did not send, it she was very rude about it. I think I have done all I can do, but I want to make sure. She is leaving me negative feedback simply because I left it about her. That is not fair and I have reported her. Oh and to let you all know, it is a seller going by amg585. I asked them where my book was and got a very rude response so am asking for a refund, but the fact they are leaving me ...
There are severe legal ramifications if you put in writing that you agree to this cost cutting/salary control maneuvering by MQ. Essentially they are getting us to let them off the hook with these "ESSAYS."
Please note on the email it states: "All entries become the property of MQ and may be used in future communications."
Also, not to be outdone by their own salary slashing FTR program, they have also taken more time/money away from us as these are to be done on OUR O ...
When I log in anywhere on the Internet I cannot seem to see any tool bars anymore. I don't know how they "disappeared" but they are not there. You know, the ones where it says File, Edit, View, etc. and the other one where it has Safety, Tools, etc. I really need these back and cannot remember how to put them back on there. TIA for any help. ...
My computer chair tore up, so I needed to get a new one. I tried some out at the store and got a cushy one. After I put it together and sat in it for 30 minutes, I had severe pain. It felt like my whole body went numb and tingly. So I had to take it back.
I got a second chair and can tell it's not going to be comfortable and that I will need to take it back. I'm sick, tired, and frustrated about this. Not at the stores or the people that work there, because it's not their fault ( ...
I mean this post in all ernest, I am genuinely interested in hearing about those things that you might do differently next year to make things better than this year. I'll go first.
1. I plan to stay more focused on my work instead of checking in here, so much. I plan to accomplish this by removing my MTStars icon from my toolbar, thus removing my temptation to click on it and navigate here so many times during the day. I sat down the other day and analyzed how ...
I've noticed that we need some sort of standard reference or metric to use when we talk about income-related issues, and this metric should not merely reference dollars (or cents), but should relate this to <i>a unit of time</i>. At the end of the day, it's how much you earned per unit of time that really matters, and this the only sort of metric that takes into account all of the variables that a mere monetary reference such as "line rate" does not.
The line rate pa ...
to your desktop, save any old performance reports to show changes that happen before and after, anything showing changes in pay before and after, before you get locked out of email. This "Grid Scandal" has Class Action Suit written all over it. When you are finally forced out for "nonperformance" then you have a paper trail. Nuance is going to unleash the full fury of QA upon us to catch every misplaced comma in order to dock our pay as much as they can, and when you are finall ...
I wonder if anyone else has gotten her/himself into a predicament like mine. Instead of paying estimated quarterly taxes, I've been trying to pay a lump sum when tax time comes on Apr. 15 each year. It's a bad situation because I never have the amount that's due to pay. I've been on an monthly installment plan for 3 years, and I never miss a payment or pay late. At this point, I still owe for most of 2011 and all of 2012.
I also have a full time ...
I don't remember that yet when I post lately it goes all the way to the bottom rather than immediately after the original post. Perhaps I just never noticed it before. Oh well... ...
Sometimes I'm not sure what to do when they say "post" ... something.
I know if it is postauricular (for example), it is attached ... but how about post aneurysmal surgery? It does not seem like it would be attached. - Is it proper to leave it stand-alone or should I change it to status post ... or actually attach it?
Thanks in advance!! ...
"The patient denies chest pain or s/l fomodynia/phomodynia." I'm thinking this should be easy because of the "dynia," but I'm stumped. Any ideas? Thanks. ...
A legal contact was inquiring about the connection of medical mistakes related to off-shored transcription mistakes. I have told him to review these boards and hopefully he will benefit from the information here.
While he did not discuss the exact case, I think that he will be able to use the off-shore transcription issue to his client's benefit or at least highlight that the provider in question does not have as rigorous control on processing records as other pr ...
