• Okay, another one, nitropatch - me
  • If verbatim, would go with nitro patch. If not, then nitroglycerine patch nm - Don't believe Nitropatch is name brand
    • Nitroglycerine. No "e" on the end. - do you really type that?

... simvastatin and folic acid.

I thought that was the definition of verbatim account. What is a verbatim account definition, pls?

COPD, that's captial C, capital O, capital P, captial D.  LAD, capital L, capital A, capital D. 

Plus...

Patient has been in drug recovery - that's R-E-C-O-V-E-R-Y

Really?  I did not know that.  Thanks so much.

Yippee!!!!!!! I am jumping around like a little kid!!  Did someone finally get the message through?? I CAN NOT SEARCH THIS ACCOUNT FOR PATIENT NAMES!!! (or is it just a fluke?) 

Had to share.  TeeHee

THROUGHOUT the report.  Since I don't keep a copy of the chart on my computer anymore, I can't go back and look at it to see what I did.  I vaguely remember though, 2 days later, that I had a patient that was not on the patient list so I spelled phonetically, marked it for QA that this was throughouit the report and sent it on its way.  I questioned the person telling me about the mistake as to whether it was spelled right in the demographics and a couple more questions trying to clear my confusion about what could have happened.  This is certainly not something that is my norm, for sure.  She replied once, but after asking another question and telling her that I'm really not trying to give her a hard time over this, she has not responded again.  Is it possible that someone QA'd my report, fixed the patient's name in the demographics but didn't look at the report body.  Perhaps I should have flagged every place that it is mentioned as well?  "The patient" certainly would have been a sure thing here but not allowed. 

So now that I've ranted a little more over this I'll let it go (hopefully) but I just can't believe I'd have done this.  I even use "uj" in my Expander and change it to the patient's name with every report, just so I don't make a mistake remembering how to spell some of the names.  I guess that's the biggest reason why I'm having a hard time with this one, because I do the same think on EVERY report, uj=whatever the patient's name is as per the demographics on the patient.  AAARRRGGGHHHH.  It sure does bug me.

I don't mind doing legal and will do it now from time to time, but be prepared to be totally bored out of your mind.

At least that's the way I feel.  I love to transcribe, learned legal in college, went on to get my paralegal degree, etc., etc., but I did temp work when the kids were younger, which was about 90% medical and I would never go back to legal except for once in a while.

Booooooring.

It would take me all night and pages and pages to describe what a bad person my ex-husband was.  After six years of putting up with his OCD, verbal abuse and alcohol, I left him the house, took the kids (5 and 1) and didn't look back. That was 20 years ago.

I wasn't looking to get married again, but I did.  After 13 years I only complain when hubby doesn't see things my way. :) 

My older kids, who were 5 and 1 when I left, are married and have kids of their own now.  My husband gets the Father's Day cards.  Their "real" father sits alone in the perfect little house I left behind and let him have and he drinks himself into oblivion every night because nobody is "perfect" enough, including his kids and his grandkids that he never sees. 

Sad, but true.  So glad I smartened up and got  out of there when I did.

What is the big deal.  Look at your clothes, cars, items in your house.

IMHO

however, I am working fewer hours and making more money. I think maybe the answer here is working as an IC for a one-owner company. MTSO was an MT for many years and she knows the secret to making lots of $ is putting your MTs doing what they do best and leaving them alone.

I don't think it is the "national" part of services that hurts. I think the low wages can be gauged by the number of suits in the company. More suits = less $.

And why pay QA? Just hire people experienced/good enough to do the work correctly the first time.
