Thanks! I have the cardiology/pulmonary sm
book and that covers everything mostly I need but sometimes its easier to just get it off the internet.
Pulmonary. sm
I know a little about pulmonary. I think you should acquaint yourself with blood gas values and ventilatory settings, it is all fascinating after that. Feel free to E me if you need help.
I have a pulmonary doc who
has the most terrible cough I have ever heard. It's chronic, cause he's had it since I started typing him however long ago. Everytime he coughs the speech recognition computer puts "referring physician". So I have to go and edit out all his coughs from the report. Kinda makes you wonder why he doesn't treat his own cough.
about pulmonary embolism
Can a person be walking around with a PE and not know it? Would they be able to cough it up? I know that sounds strange, but I have a rattling in my chest that I can't expectorate. Sorry to be so graphic.
Thank you, anyone, for answering.
Pulmonary embolism and work...
Just recently got out of the hospital with PE but need to go back to work right away. On the usual meds that come with this condition and feeling lightheaded. Anyone here been through same thing and how soon did you return to work as an MT? I would prefer you e-mail me privately. If this is too personal for you. I understand. I tend to be more candid than most. Also would prefer to talk to someone who has been through it.
Thank you so much.

Need help from Cardiology MTs
I was just put on an account that has tons of cardiac reports, lots of echos and cath reports that I have never done before. Can anyone suggest good references or websites that can help me with this? I'm having a hard time verifying guidwire and stent names. I have 2 surgery books and Stedman's Cardiology, but I can't find everything I need to look up and I'm so overwhelmed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Is anyone out there transcribing for Cardiology?
Just wondering if it is fairly easy to catch on or a pain in the butt? I might take a position but I'd like to know if I will be able to handle it as a newbie? What do you think?
HELP! cardiology question
when dictating...He has a dominant _______ (circ) which is 100% occluded....colaterals for a AV ______ (circ)
what is circ? circumflex artery?
Capitalization of Cardiology
I was taught (and it is required by my company) that you capitalize a word not usually capitalized when it is used as an entity as it is in your example (used to mean someone in the cardiology dept). A good example is when a doc says "An orogastric tube was placed by Anesthesia" you would capitalize anesthesia, as it refers to a person and not "the thing" of anesthesia. If not capitalized, it calls to mind some kind of anesthesia (endotrachial, perhaps?) placing the orogastric tube. Capitlizing it adds clarity.
Cardiology MTs will laugh at this
I found this on YouTube yesterday and wanted to share. It's done by med students and is reall well written and funny. I don't do cardiology, but still got a big kick out of it (and learned some things).

? zny best cardiology sites?

Cardiology is my favorite specialty (sm)
I can't say why, though. I just like the terminology and it just seems like it's easier to look things up maybe?
Be sure you have a good cardiology book. It will be helpful, but if you do caths and PCIs, etc. there are new instruments and stents that come out like it seems every minute, so having a few good cardiology sites and knowing how to search the web is a big help.
I ENVY YOU!! And good luck!
I've been doing Cardiology for 7+ years -
and have been thinking about changing as the company I work for is beginning to send things overseas. What company is hiring for oncology? I gues it wouldn't hurt to inquire. Thanks and good luck to you.

Yep, cardiology here, too! Used to hate those super long sm
op notes but found I got great lines with them! Now, I can't wait to do them.
Need tips on being productive with cardiology procedures
Thanks
Good cardiology info site?
i give credit to all who love ops cuz i cant stand them. i like cardiology

Hardest: Dental surgery. Easiest: Cardiology, OPs. sm
Most interesting: Psych.
I think it's generally whatever you get the least of that you'll find the hardest. I used to hate OPs, GI procedures, and cardiology, but eventually got used to them and found they are repetitive (aka good money makers!).
Cardiology and sleep study transcription questions
I am looking for other Transcriptionist that have cardiology and sleep study backgrounds. I am a newer MT, I am starting a cardiology and sleep study transcription account next week and have never transcribed for this specialty.
I wanted to know if there are specific word books or websites that you find helpful and are there specific things that you could tell me about the specialty that may help me?
I would appreciate any feedback
Thanks,
Angie
Cardiac Clinic - no do not capitalize; Cardiology - yes as it is referred to as an entity. nm

The Dorland's Cardiology Word Book is good, too. Might find books at half.com even if a few years
