I graduated from The Andrews School and we were instructed to expand the white count values. If they were dictated as 5.3, we were to expand them to 5300, 13.3 - 13,300, etc. If there are no account specifics given on this, I would expand, but account specifics always override what you may have been instructed.
On admission *bases* hemoglobin 9.5, white count 8.1, platelet count 208,000, and normal BUN and creatinine.
Does this make sense? Should it be basis? This is under Laboratory Data for a Discharge Summary. ...
This is probably a pretty basic one, but how would you correctly word this when a doc dictates a white count this way: "7.3 thousand?"
7.3000?
7.3 thousand?
other?

Before, when I would upload a job, the audio bar would be completely blue.
Now there are tons of white spaces in it. Does this indicate time that the dictator was not talking, or is this a way for them to see how many times we lift our foot off the pedal? ...

I have finally given up on this career after a very dedicated attempt to make it work. I have been working in this field for over 10 years now and am a very conscientious employee who rarely misses work but it is time for me to surrender, I guess. I don't understand how anyone can make a living on 4 cpl for VR. I don't even have any drive left to work anymore because I can't make any money anyway. My husband thinks I am crazy for sticking around as lo ...

Anyone have MP Count? I used it a few years ago, but my computer crashed so I no longer have it. I'm not sure if this IC job is gonna work out so I'm not wanting to buy a program at this point. Any advice?

Is this correct? I type 70,000 characters a day. I am paid by the 65 character line so I would divide 70,000 by 65 to get 1076, then multiple that by pay per line, say $.10 and get $107. If this is not correct then what is the formula? And what is the average number of lines per day? Thanks so much for the info. ...
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what is the easiest way to not count template lines when trying to invoice? I get a line count through Word, but I hear that Word counts blank spaces as well. I downloaded and use Flash Count, but it includes all 65 character lines, I beleive including the template headings. I hope this makes sense. Please help!! ...
