"suck thumbs" for pain relief - scha


Posted: Aug 09, 2010

She is advised to suck thumbs to get relief    This is what the doctor is dictating.  Or may be I am hearing it wrong,  any advise will be appreciated

Need more information - What type of pain

What type of pain?  Can you give diagnosis, history, sentence before and after? 


The more information you give us, the faster we can give you an educated guess. 


Thanks.

the pain was medium intensity, emanating from bone joint, 3/10 pain, she also had degenerative joint disease, but I posted that job with a doubt mark on that text, as it was a stat request, but would like a feedback on that, as this term may be repeated

Where was the pain? Which joint? What was he examining? - Hand exam? nm

Why All The Thumbs Down For A Company's Job-wanted Ad?
Jan 24, 2014

I work there and it's a great company!  They also have 4 dislikes and I'm clueless as to why.  Is it because it's for 2nd and 3rd shift jobs?  This is a place that has straight typing only AND offers benefits AND always has steady work!  Isn't that what everyone wants?  So the hours suck, but work is work--especially good work like this.  So, what's up?! ...

What A Relief. Tomorrow Is My Last Day.
Jun 13, 2013

I turned in my resignation 2 weeks ago and my last day is tomorrow.  No more nagging about line counts and MUP when they can't even pay me minimum wage (although mine is the second highest in the nation).  I've done this work for almost 9 years now and have enjoyed it, but the pay is just getting too low and I'm sure I can find something better in another field.  Good luck to you all. ...

I hope things change for the better for those who remain.   But since willfully stupid optimism isn't really my thing, I hope everyone who is unhappy with what has become of what used to be a pretty sweet gig finds better opportunities before things get much worse.   Off to exorcise all this garbage from my computer, and then on to pastures with more life in them. ...

during the no-work situation, and if I just wait a few more weeks, the holidays will be over and all of the overstaffing problems will be solved because the new accounts will start.   Well, yipee.   Any company that thinks they can starve me for 2-3 months while I sit and wait for crumbs of work to be doled out is suffering from some sort of delusion.   I answered the email by giving my 2-week notice.  Goodbye SoftScript with your PIA ticket number emails ...

Almost All The Dictations Suck Today

What is going on?  So far, almost all of the reports I've received have been murky, fuzzy, hard-to-understand dictations, the kind where it sounds like they've been dictated under water.  I can take one now and then. but when it's one after the other, it starts to get annoying.  ...

Nothing like passing the 5-report audit with 99.5+ only to receive a minor error on an individual report followed by a major error on another report returned from the client all in the same day.  Lovely.  Seriously considering going to the other dark side and hanging out at N until my coding training and my MBA are finished. ...

Oct 21, 2012

I am writing this email to inform you that tonight will be my last night with Nuance Transcription Services. Over my many years in the workforce, I must say this is the first resignation letter I have penned without any sense of melancholy fondness for the job I am leaving behind. No, instead, it is a feeling of liberation from "time served." For the past 7 months, I have put in my time here at Nuance, suffered through many countless hours of horrible voice recognition files, made next to ...

Finger Pain

Hi, everyone. I'm sure that this is a common problem in the transcription field, but I was hoping someone had some sort of remedy. I've been typing every day for the past couple of weeks about 9 hours a day and one of my fingers (the one I use for the Backspace key) is really starting to hurt every time I push down on it. It's right at the second knuckle on the digit and it's starting to become problematic. Any suggestions from more experienced MTs? Thanks. ...
