affect v. effect
Effect is noun in the instance noted. Affect is a verb most of the time. Anything else?
Affect/effect
Affect can be a noun in psych - patient having a "flat affect" - no expression. Effect usually is used as an action word and in this case it is effecting a response or a cause.
effect or affect?
Here is a rule of thumb my boss taught me:
Affect - (a verb) "to change or alter".
Effect - ( a noun) "a result".
You will very rarely use "affect" in the context of a sentence, but it will come into play every once in a while.
affect/effect
Affect can also be a noun, as in "patient's affect", effect can also be a verb as in "to effect a result".
your affect has an effect.
Does this person think that English usage doesn't matter in MT work? Some of the worst medical errors got that way by misuse of plain English words.
Affect/Effect
Effect is not always a noun, and affect is not always a verb. When you "effect" a change, effect becomes a verb. When someone has a flat "affect," affect becomes a noun.
Affect vs. effect
Hopefully this will help, although I guess everything is subject to interpretation:
AFFECT is a verb meaning "to influence" or "to pretend or imitate". EFFECT can be a noun OR a verb. As a noun, it means "result". As a verb it means "to produce a result".
In your particular sentence, it is being used as a verb...so which one to pick?
Without knowing the rest of the record, I would have to go with "effect" because I'm guessing (again..limited knowledge) that the doctor is indicating that if the bleeding doesn't stop, he has to do a hysterectomy. If the hysterectomy has already been done, or it is planned, than surely, further bleeding could "affect" the planned surgery or something that happened during the hysterectomy.
Without more information, it's a crap shoot!... I'm sure that was as clear as mud.

affect/effect
To clarify affect/effect, here is what a friend said:(emphasizing the first syllable and pronouncing it with a "long E"):
"I affect the Effect"
This really helped me.

Leuden affect / luden affect
Hi. I am doing the H&P portion of a dictation and it states that the "Leuden affect is appropriate". Has anyone ever heard of this? Leuden or Luden. Thanks for the help!!

Love psych notes. HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE,
HATE ER notes.
DEFINATELY TAKE IT
It may have some draw backs like any job but I would definately take it!!
MAN!! You definately NAILED it - sm
 Really, I searched for the right words - you nailed it!!! Standing Ovation to YOU!!! This woman is a "blame freak" - isn't that narcissistic (s/p?) behavior or something along those lines? BRAVO!!!
getting neutered will definately help!!
Getting him neutered will help with the hyper-activity, the anxiety and the urinating.
You should also consider taking him to dog obedience school so he is properly trained.
Keep this one as you look. But, YES, definately start looking.

I am definately not a liar and I can
honestly say that I've been doing VR on the eScription platform for over 4 years now, 2 years at my current employer, and at 0.04 a line I can easily do 500+ lines an hour. I have a great primary account that I have been on those 2 years and sometimes if I get the few dictators that have templates I can even do 700+ an hour. It most certainly can be done!
We definately aren't.....
sitting around much. They don't care if it's behind is the thing. So basically they want every single second of my time occupied. There might be a 5 minute break between patients or while you are waiting for the doctor to come out and during that time we get charts together, take a breather, yes, but not sitting around. They just want me to take that 5 minutes, run type for 5 minutes, then run back to see if the doctor needs anything and just run a shift like that. I believe I am just going to say no.
Nobody here seems to definately know answer Thanks see mssg
Coughing and sneezing have no affect/effect on it, and bowel and bladder functions have been normal.
Definately a management problem!!!
All a company has to do is have someone in charge of monitoring the system and asign the work or at least watch it and when it starts getting low, take people off the system until it builds back up. A hospital I worked for directly did this and it worked great. The company I now work for doles out the work evenly to all employees first and then IC next. Again it is the fairest practice and seems pretty simple to do, but as below posters stated, most companies don't care, they just want the work done!
You will definately see great results
within a week or two. It's a great workout, easy, and definately will give you results. Stick with it and you will be very pleased. I love pilates
105 pounds is definately not overweight
for someone who is 5'4". What was he smoking?
Definately ruins any fantasy I ever had about cowboys!

I hate DocQSribe, I hate DocQScribe, I hate DocQScrbe, I hate DocQScribe, I hate DocQSribe.

It definately helped me. From the first dose I took I had no urge at all to smoke.
Unfortunately though I had a bad reaction to the medication and had to stop it after only a few days. I should say though that the reaction I had to the Wellbutrin had absolutely nothing to do with a side effect, but rather it exacerbated a prior medical problem I had. It's definately worth a try IMO.
Love cardiology, hate podiatry. Hate discharges, but

I hate those but I hate trauma notes on children even more sm
I used to work for a large hospital that saw a lot of children for various horrible things.
The very last one I did was a 12yo boy who had hung himself while his mother was at work. She thought he was in school. The doctor cried, I cried (as I usually did) and I just couldn't handle that anymore. That was the longest report I swear. Short in lines but the length was almost an hour. The doc didn't pause the machine, she cried, horrible gut wrenching sobs, and I did too, right along with her.
What I SAID was, "...there is NO WAY that can't have any affect...," and I ...
stand by that. Sure, an MT under the influence may get it right, but I certainly would never want to take a chance on that.
It's all about resposibility and realizing the critical nature of medical transcription. As an MTSO, I would not want an MT drinking while working. Period.
If I hired someone and found out they drank while working, they would be out the door.
it would be affect as in...
Rheumatic fever can affect the heart.
Your sentence would be:
Further bleeding, Per Dr. ___, will affect a hyerectomy.
Definitely effect. nm

Something to the effect of what a (sm)
great job we do, etc. It was really more the tone than the actual words that were said. Ever have someone speak to you with such animosity that it kind of gives you a chill? That's what this was like.
I'm probably just being too sensitive about it, but it was hateful.
what makes you think it will affect us?
Mood and affect are normal
Further bleeding per Dr. **** will affect a hysterectomy.
EXACTLY - it'll never affect me mentality.
I signed, sent to everyone I know and asked them to send it to everyone they knew. Start believing we can make a difference.
I believe the goings on in the industry affect us as MTs?
x
It will not affect MT's. I think the limit is 250GB and
the tech people with my company says an MT uses around 2GB/month. Even if that is a conservative figure, still leaves you a lot of GB.
Does anyone know anything about the new EMR system? and how it will affect MT's work? nm
The answer IS Effect....
How something WILL "affect" you; this cough DID "effect" my lungs. Sorry, but graduated high school in 1964 back when people really cared about grammar!!!
AFFECT means to have an influence ON; EFFECT is the change that occurs!!!
You see, effect is something that is brought about by a "cause", that is the affect part; "The antibiotics were effective in treating the infections." Hope this helps. Also, it seems mostly in the medical field affect deals "mostly" with psychiatry and emotions. It does however, most certainly, have a place in "normal usage".
WHEN is this supposed to go into effect?
I have not received letter.. Is this everyone or just employees or just IC ??? Specific info would be lovely
Yes, effect is correct.

Effect (bring about)

always mass effect ____nm

No, but have been rx'd Ritalin with good effect. (nm)

Probably said that way for dramatic effect , sounds - sm
much more dramatic to say "went missing" as opposed to "has been missing".
I would worry more about the side effect
A man taking that killed himself and beat his wife up. My brother took it and got deeply depressed. He said he quit taking it. He also quit smoking off of it faster than on it. Thank goodness for him because he smoked 3 packs of cigarettes a day. I'd say try something else and leave Chantix alone.
