Posted: Jan 14, 2010
for intracranial chemotherapy - s/l she is saying amaylia shot shunt - I saw other listings for ommaya shunt but sounds more like amaylia shot shunt?? Thanks
MD dictated "Toward the end of the procedure, the patient was noted to be "abdully"??? forming a protein-rich asciitic fluid." Any ideas how or where this fluid was formed? ...
Is there such a thing as a dial shunt surgery? I can't tell if this doctor is trying to think of what she wants to say or if she's tripping over her words on this one. The next number in the past medical history is multiple caths, if that helps at all. Her diagnosis is end state renal disease/on dialysis. ...
Has anyone gotten the swine flu shot, as in those working in hospitals or in home. They say it is on the rise again and I am debating on whether to get it. I work at home, so no risk from hospitals, but I do have kids in school to bring it home to me. They say the 30-somethings (me) get a VERY bad case of it and the kids are usually fine? So much info and so many decisions, makes you want to wear a mask on a day to day basis. ...
Went to the doctor's office this morning to get my tetanus shot updated because I fell the other day and cut myself and Dr. said my last tetanus shot was 10 years ago. When I told them I did not have any insurance that it would cost me $170.00 because they were required to charge an "administrative fee" (hospital-owned practice). I just about swallowed my tongue! Fortunately the lady checking me in suggested I go to the Health Department and I could get it m ...
Does anyone know anything about this? I see a very familiar name listed among the transcriptionists on a certain account that now belongs to Nuance through the acquisition a couple of years ago. ...
Just had a 2109s report, guess what, 1.5 minutes of dictation. Nothing like having to sit here through all the rest of that time not getting paid. Idiot! ...
Does anyone know of a stable company and/or open position where a long-time, acute care/experienced MT could be an employee with benefits and make more than $12-13/hr? Prefer straight transcription over editing. I can wait several months as I am currently employed. I ...
OK, here's the scoop. I am working on an older company-provided Dell running XP that's basically on the very last of its legs (got the blue screen of death this morning but was able to finally get to Windows and into my program). I talked with our IT guy today, and he said to get a new hard drive and have the old info transferred (at my expense, because of new company rules). I work on ChartScript.net and asked if that ran on Vista because I could then use my laptop, our only other com ...
As the old adage goes. The harder I work the behinder I get.... Can't win. I was working with a good pay period and then same ol same ol, NJA. And to top it off, I cannot ever get into QCare, it stays on a proverbial lock at the loading screen. So just shoot me..... At this point, I don't care anymore....

Too time consuming when searching for a doctor you don't know. Give me a break, Alt S for every attempt rather than just a march down the alphabet. I'm only willing to do it a couple times, whereas I would have probably found it with the old method. ...
Any companies that will let you give you work your own hours as long as you complete a set number of lines per given day? I'd love to be an IC again with my own hours, since I have kids that need to be driven around all day.Either that or a night job. I could use some company suggestions. I've worked for several and not happy right now. Thank you! ...
So many corrections and so much missing punctuation that I an excruciatingly sore already! I was barely able to move my hands last night because they hurt from so many corrections. Grrrrr ...
This makes me REALLY glad I am getting the hell out of health care!
These draconian measures are being implemented across the country. Most require that ALL employees -- even those who work off-site and have zero patient contact -- receive the toxic injection or they will lose their job.
Check out the comments. I was VERY heartened to see that the vast majority of them are by posters opposed to the mandate (several very educated MDs and RNs po ...
ESL doc is giving diagnoses list and says "s/l Shot liver, improved." Or it could be "Shot's liver or Schatz liver or Shott's liver" etc. Sigh. I probably should know this, but I don't. Any help gratefully appreciated.
