It's not unusual for a patient listed as allergic to penicillin to be given it anyway.
Posted By: NN on 2009-03-15

Often it's the only drug that will work and the allergy was vague and from so long ago, they deliberately try it anyway. If that had been the case, you'd have more than likely gotten a very negative response.

My doctor just gave me a very unusual patient name and didn't spell it,
then she's trying to read the date of discharge and says, "God, can't anybody write? You're going to have hold off on that because I really can't read any of this."
Hmmm, doc, it's just like YOUR DICTATION.....couldn't you at least spell the name or say it twice the SAME WAY within 2 sentences.
Okay, I'm done venting now.
This is not unusual
It is not an usual side effect to lose hair after anethesia. However, major surgery can also set off other problems, such as hypothyroidism, which is also notorious for hair loss. If I were you, I would see my PCP and get some routine labs checked, just in case.
Because it is unusual...
She has every right to question it.
unusual
I want to know if this ever happened to anyone's file. This appeared in the middle of an office note
!اط��考اا��ا֝考طط��ط֝屸ほ(ᮁ���鏅ᩱ䛆��[1]شض��考طط��ط֝考طط��ط֝屸ほ(᭘���鏅ᩱ䛆��!طٓ�CE NOTE 5/24/08
Is this unusual or am I not alone?
I have had the strangest thing happen to me about how my MT career is going. Up until about a year ago, I felt very secure in my career, working for a hospital for a long time. After they let our incentive go, I got into a couple of jobs with services where it seemed like something was wrong with each. Line counts not right, no work available, etc. I finally am working as an IC with a decent company, however, when I first started there they were running out of work constantly. So, I have 3 accounts now, and I see they are hiring again.
My problem is this: I have this fear that I will never again be able to feel comfortable in my job. I keep looking for other jobs to go alongside this one in case we run out of work again. But, my doc says one job is enough, or I get stressed out. This is ever since the last year when I was tossed about between services. But I keep looking to see if I can find that 1 job where I don't have to worry anymore. I would take it along side this for long enough to know that this other new job would provide the security I seek.
Yet, when I get a second job, I am afraid of having 2, so I stick with the IC and regret that I did not try. Any suggestions? I am not asking for a million dollars, or even a guarantee that the job be 100% perfect. I just want to be comfortable in the knowledge that I can have a decent paycheck and feed my kids without worrying from day to day will there be work? Are they over-hiring again? Should I indeed quit looking for that job and settle with my phobias, or should I trust my instinct, keep looking and finally overlap the 2 for a while (in spite of the doc's warnings of stress) and perhaps get a better job?
Thanks in advance for your comments. I am so confused, because I have never in my life experienced such a lack of trust in my job and a possible new job.
Unusual names
I feel your pain, but they don't have to be foreign. What about Dakota? Is that a boy, a girl or the family truck? I know I shouldn't laugh. A dear friend has a lovely little boy with that name. It's just that when you're typing a report without a genital exam, how can you tell?
I used to be director of medical records in a tiny rural hospital, so I typed up the birth certificates. Here are some of my all-time personal favorites:
Caboose. A little boy, the 8th child. Mom didn't care what the Pope said, this was it and she had a tubal.
Princess Leia. The original Star Wars had just come out.
Vagina. Yeah, you read that right! A little girl. Nobody could change mom's mind. That was an interesting call from the Health Department!
Bambi. I know, it's more common than I thought. Great for a little kid who can't talk yet, but I have no picture of her 98 and in a nursing home.
Actually, my coworkers weren't any better. We threatened to provide a "name your baby service" for the parents who just couldn't come up with a name after 8-9 months of thinking about it. The Wolf twins were going to be Timber and Gray. The Fruit triplets were going to be Grape, Passion and Juicy. No, we never really did that, but we were tempted.
Hope you had a good laugh. You deserve it!
I wish I could - I have a fireplace but am allergic to...sm
fresh burning wood. Wah!!!
Allergic to "cillins."
Is it acceptable to transcribe this as cillins, or is there an exceptable expansion I can use?
Yes, am allergic to their lipstick. Never tried anything else but that and
broke out with blisters on my lips. I am not prone to fever blisters or any of the sort. Dermatologist said I was allergic to whatever ingredients were in it. Never tried it again, use CoverGirl, and never had blisters again!
I'm allergic to my new earphones!!!
I know this sounds nuts (I'm nuts), but my noise-dampening earphones arrived a week ago and I put them on. I should tell you that I have sensitivities to latex and adhesives, but this is not a problem I deal with very often. Anyway, I donned and immediately began getting itchy. I ignored it. Then my ears began to burn. I kept typing like a "good" MT. Tee hee. Then I started getting hives and my throat started to itch. Yikes!! Okay, that got my attention. So I took them off and took a Benadryl. I haven't touched them for this whole week, until today. I tried them again, albeit foolishly, thinking it wouldn't happen again. I was willing to think it was psychosomatic (allergy to work, ya know). Ummm, nope. It all happened again. Oh well, at least Transcription Gear has a 30-day guarantee. Wait until I give them my "reason for return". Crazy. I thought I'd give you all a 'Buyer Beware', 'FYI', and stuff like that... See ya! 
possible allergic reaction to something--sm
You also sound like you think it may be psychosomatic, which is always a possibility, but don't think so. possibly mumps, which is going around again these days. Get to a doctor. soon. jmo
Unusual clinical history...
"The patient is status post gunshot wound to the head now complaining of headaches." Yes, bullets tend to cause headaches, I'm sure!
Putting patient versus The patient (sm)
When did this "rule" come about? I've been an MT/Editor/medeical records tech/ART for 30 years - Never, ever was I told to put that. You cannot make the sentence be "The patient sent to Radiology" but you can put "Patient sent to Radiology."
Thats just insane.
a coworker is allergic to the foam
covering as well. either way they make my ears hurt/red so i put just a tiny bit of cotton from a cotton ball inside each ear before putting on my headset and don't have any problems.
It does sound like an allergic reaction...
What did he eat or drink prior to breaking out? As long as it doesn't get any worse, I would just ride it out. But if it does, I would follow the advice of the other poster.
I'm allergic to the daggon things, but I STILL
Could be Flonase, but that is usually 50 mcg for non-allergic symptoms
Might get more of a response on Word Help board instead
Bruce's Unusual Typing Wizard
Fun way to learn to type and brush up on your skills.
Doc's mispronounce all the time. This is not unusual. The reason sm
they pay us what the do is so that we insert the correct spelling and know what they are saying. You'll get better at this with experience.
Unusual word turned simple.
I just started work in a hospital and this doc, a Chinese gynecologist who is MY DOCTOR, was saying "peewah". I finally realized, it was "period"! Good heavens, I thought I was losing it and was going to have to find a new doctor in the process. I love him, but that word was making me crazy.(period or peewah, whatever you prefer) Zoinks!
What's your problem? The OP said her docs transcribe. That is unusual.
xxx
No, but I knew someone allergic to the foam covering.
Might be something to ponder.
I used to use MK foundation, but they changed the formula and now I'm allergic to it.
It makes my eyes water and I can't wear it any longer. I haven't found a foundation that I like as well as the previous MK formula. I wish they hadn't changed it.
They are basically "sister" drugs. I am allergic
to naproxen, so cannot take ibuprofen now, as they are closely related. I would think if naproxen isn't helping, neither will ibuprofen. Try something unrelated like Tylenol?
his next allergic reaction will be quicker and worse.
get thee to an allergist.
unusual for me too, worried too, not Amherst office nor Ohio
Does not sound like $$ problems, just that they do not want to pay every 2 weeks. Unusual for billi

Yes, ergonomic...geez, didn't think it was that unusual to say split. lol

When I worked for a vet. guy had dog allergy tested and dog was allergic to human dander. No kidding
:I
If allergic to nickel, then avoid green beans, broccoli, peas, etc.
I have that same allergy, had problems with the old metal zippers, snaps, etc.
This is a link for metal/nickel allergy

yes to any of the ones listed below, PLUS
Any stuttering ESL! Is there anything worse? I had one Chinese doc who stuttered so badly it made me literally squirm in my chair to hear him. Then he would repeat himself and every other word was "uh and." It was excruciating!
there are so many a few listed below
deaconess.com
medterms.com
doctorspiller.com
mercksource.com
hundreds others, literally
See, it listed on there
the vehicle, the VIN and everything else in my possession, and it said whoever's got whatever, goes to whoever (you know what I mean!! :) THAT was what I signed. I got a DRAFT of the property agreement, but on the final document, nothing is specified, just whatever he's got is his and whatever I've got is mine (this was not something I signed...this is what I got after going to court). And maybe things vary in different states....I dunno, but I had to be present with my attorney, as did he, but neither he nor his laywer showed up. But I needed the FINAL COPY to say the VIN number and the specifics for the DMV. That's all.
I look at the website you listed.
There a ton of great jobs there but where do they list the jobs for MTs?
If only one printer is listed...
How can you change your default? Can you actually create a default that does not exist?
Since when are CTs listed under labs?
 This company is something else. Maybe they would have more work if the editing staff could make up their minds. For months I have been putting CT/PET scan results under "Imaging" with other places "Radiographs". Was told by someone in QA it goes under labs? Okay, my mother works for a mircobiology lab -- they test blood, urine and tissue samples. Never have I heard of someone getting their CT scan from the lab! The lab is not the source of radiographic data to my knowledge. Did I miss something here?????????
If none of the suggestions listed here
are of any help, here is an alternate.
Use the support form available from the "Support" link on the WinZip home page (http://www.winzip.com). The majority of the time they respond to all inquiries within 1 business day.
OP listed several things, not just this one; I'm sure you get that.
nm
They are listed in BOS, as if that matters.

I work there as well and they have everything listed except 3 and 6.
Regarding #2, you do need to check with your supervisor to be sure extra work is needed for your accounts, as a courtesy to the people scheduled to work those hours...there needs to be enough work to go around.
Stedman's has crepitance listed.
Taber's only has crepitant and crepitation, not even crepitus. It's probably one of thos cases where doctors just made up a variation on a word that stuck. They don't care if it's right or not.
Start, programs and it is listed there.
I downloaded it last week. Found it there after an hour of confusion and then made a shortcut to my desktop.
Not listed with Better Business Bureau?
I have been offered a really good position with a company, however they have no web site and are not listed with the BBB. Should I be suspicous? They are a small company, but shouldn't they be listed voluntarily or something?
Not sure on this but I think you pay to be listed with the BBB - (join a member) so many probably j
the money to do so. Search the archives or Google them. Otherwise unless they are offering some outragous pay over such as over .12 cpl, then I would not worry about it and go for it.
flocculence is listed on onelook.com-sm
and has a definition of being flocculent which means having a fluffy character or appearance. I am by no means saying in my previous statment that this is a medical transcription standard but simply stating what I have found in my research of this. I also would like to know for sure if this is correct or not if anyone knows.
I have many, many doctors who frequently state, "There is no fluctuance on palpation of the wound." I have been typing fluctuance all this time and just ignoring spell check because it is used so frequently, so if this is wrong, any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
Did anyone see the CEP Shay Reddy job listed
They are asking for someone to proof/MT for $9.00 an hour. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
 Quick, how do I sign up?
I visited the website you listed and according
to that, it is not an insurance plan. It is a savings plan. You get a membership card that gets you savings on medical care at participating providers, not insurance.
It isn't that it is MY way. It is the correct way. It is the way that is listed in reference
Do you still feel that way? I'm afraid if I change my way of doing things to incorrect and improper ways that I may never get them back. I pride myself in being a great MT. I have three years of college to boot. It is almost like starting a bad habit to please your employer and I just don't know if I can do something the wrong/incorrect way.
Pled is listed in my dictionary
Webster's New World Dictionary
Actually, shoddy is not even listed in the 29th
edition Dorland's Medical Dictionary. Only shotty is listed and means " like shot; resembling the pellets used in shotgun cartridges."
it is listed under fever, but the two words are
not interchangeable.
