mg%
Abbreviation for milligrams percent. Equivalent to milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL),
which is the preferred nomenclature, but transcribe as dictated.
Do not use periods.
Do not add a space between mg and %.

The Bible of Skeptics. The authors can never agree on a set rule from one month to the next. If you depend on this book for all the correct answers, beg for a raise. You'll need it to buy the latest copy. The rules change more often than a baby's diaper in the first year of life. LOL
Have always typed this as mg% and never been told wrong. Nothing wrong - with giving BOS since that could affect QA score

should be mg% as noted above in BOS instructions - nm

If a matter of client preference, then should be looking in account - specifics, nm

Random IRS Question Feb 05, 2011I've been shopping accountants and have been told 2 different things regarding being an IC and filing with deductions.

Random Thought Jun 29, 2012I do both medical and general transcription. I know there is much discussion about MTs standing a bit above GTs in the Invisible Hierarchy of Transcription because of the responsibility involved and amount of training required. I get that. I also know that general transcription is hard work and requires a lot of knowledge about a lot of things in order to do it well.
What I JUST got, though, is the fact that a good general transcriptionist (one who can think and knows how to research unfamiliar ...
Some Random Thoughts Mar 22, 2013that has now become "working" for MModal. since I have no work today at the start of my shift, thought I would share.
New 99% accuracy requirement: This is the pay cut everyone was fearing, just with a different name. More accuracy means more time spent going over reports for "errors" hence less pay. Of course, no pay raises for increased accuracy requirements and no mention of adjusted line count requirements. It wouldn't surprise me if 100% accuracy w ...
Why Is It, If Audits Are Really Random, That Mar 07, 2015ones who seem to be audited? Not the clear-speaking ones EVER. Usually ESL but not always, as not all are bad. Not all English-speaking ones are good, either. As you all know.
With that in mind, knowing exactly who the difficult dictators are, and the fact that I never have post audits by them, I am finding it impossible to believe that these audits are "random." I have about half and half decent dictators and horrible/mumbling idiots, and it's always the latt ...
Random Thought Here - I Was Just Wondering Jan 15, 2014if our supervisors have our best interest in mind. I know they are all scared for their jobs too, but couldn't they go to bat for us and let the "higher ups" know that having us in one giant pool typing so many accounts is not going to help in keeping jobs in TAT. Yesterday, I got a different hospital for the first 2 hours of my shift - no back-to-back jobs from the same facility until well into my shift. I was playing catch up all day and all night to ke ...

Is Anybody Working And Getting Random Jobs From Different Accounts? Jan 10, 2010Just venting a little.

Do they really expect me to make line count like that? I know there is a better way to distribute and get the work done within TAT. I mean really.... sigh. Looks like the forbidden "national pools" coming back. If my regular accounts have no work, then why oh why cant that just give me ONE that ...

Now According To QA You Have To Have 99.5 Percent Accuracy Mar 01, 2013Are they kidding? Who has 99.5% accuracy every audit. This is the new Mmodal accuracy rule.

I Love Their "random" Audits. Jan 17, 2014Okay, I'm very familiar with all 10 of my accounts and get them all equally and have no problem with them...except one, which I rarely get and has the worst dictators I've ever heard and is the only one that I struggle with. Guess which one they audit 98% of the time? I get audited 2 or 3 times a month for some reason (never failing any yet, however, close), and looking back at my results for the past 6 months or so, nearly all are from the same joke of a hospital.

QA "random" Review Sep 30, 2013I work with a company who does "random" reviews periodically. I understand this is normal practice and I concur with this policy. However, I really am stunned to find that the individual performing these randum reviews, is taking files out of QA. I have never heard of such practice and I have been in this career field for well over 30 years. I am just curious if others have run into this practice. My own personal thought is that if an MT sends a file to QA for a "second listen" ...
