sounds like "5 C's" was wondering if all symptoms started with C or something. Maybe a slang term instead medical.

Raise requests???
I already posted this on the "Gab" board, but thought I'd put it on this one too so I can get as much advice as possible....
Ok, so I work in-house at my local hospital. I get paid a decent wage by the hour. We get annual raises and cost of living raises. However, I have been put in charge of transitioning all of our clinics to a new dictation/transcription system and have been meeting with all of the doctors, setting up templates, meeting with the product vendors and deciding how we want to go about implementing the new system. In addition to this I have been making my minimum line count EVERY DAY. My question is...Should I ask for a raise in pay since I am doing all of this extra work for the hospital even when I have been getting annual and cost of living raises anyway? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys!
you still have to abide by the doctors' requests
if they do not like it. The exception to every AAMT guideline.
My biggest problem is the babysitting requests...
This is my biggest problem.. Every mother within a 20-mile radius thinks I am their emergency backup babysitter. I lost a friend over this. She asked me to babysit, I said no, she showed up at my door anyway and begged me to take her kid, and I refused. She hasn't spoken to me since. Several other mothers have expected the same thing, some that I don't even really know, and I have had to be very firm and stand my ground.
Question about wedding gift requests...sm
My fiance will be merging 2 homes into 1 and the last thing we need are material things as wedding gifts as we'll be yard selling and giving away the equivalent of a household of goods as it is, with many items being donated to a local women's shelter to help these ladies set up a home now that they're away from their abusers. I'm not interested in collecting china or silver and there's really nothing we need. We've decided on asking people to give donations to a local children's home in our honor instead of wedding gifts, but other than that how do you recommend that we politely tell people that we don't want material things and if they don't want to donate to the children's home that we'd be happy to accept a gift card or money? I looked on websites such as "the knot" and while in one place they say it's tacky to ask for money, in their registry they have an option for people to sign up to buy American Express gift cheques which is basically the same thing (love the double standard) with the exception of course being that these have to be bought through them with a $50 minimum (ouch!) and $5 service fee. Thanks for your input!
Is there a place to post requests for positive thoughts?
I applied for a job that I really want and need. The waiting game is killing me. I know it's out of my hands now, but I'm so antsy waiting to hear back from them. Please send me some positive job mojo thoughts. Thank you.
If it is in quotes, you had better leave it...
If it is in quotes, you had better leave it... esp in regard to the legal aspect, but also the integrity of the document.
That said, usually the client has a preference regarding these things.
The BOS can cram it. That's C-R-A-M and don't put it in quotes. nm.

question on quotes....
I typed: CHIEF COMPLAINT: "I was hallucinating."
I was corrected as: CHIEF COMPLAINT: "I was hallucinating".
Am I wrong here?
ADMINISTRATOR: Some Quotes from MQLover
Administrator, these quotes below are what we are referring to. Her attitude and language are indefensible. Please ban her from this board.
From MQLOVER:
"1. ….is utterly ridiculous that you find a negative thing to say about everything you read you nasty, nasty lady. "
"2. Maybe you better wonder about what is for dinner tonight, I am sure you are thinking about that."
"3. Yeah, you make a lot of sense! Stupid. I find it funny that you think people who enjoy their jobs are immature and have multiple personality disorders. So wake up ugly and go find a shrink."
"4. You really are stupid. What I have to say is the only loser here is you, so lose about 50 pounds and come back later."
There are many more examples on record. Thank you,
The professional MTs who really want to use this site.
I don't use slang, ever, unless it's in quotes from a patient or something. nm

Not your call. Transcribe in quotes SM
or if you truly refuse to transcribe that word, use whatever system your company has to make the report go to QA. There are reasons dictators want a thing like that transcribed--it demonstrates noncompliance or abuse of staff and it's important it be transcribed into the document.
you can use apostrophes to emulate quotes.
Two apostrophes = one quotation mark
Like ''this.'' (4 apostrophes total, 2 in front and 2 behind word)
Just a little trick I figured out a long time ago for this board.
If it is a verbatim account, I'd vote yes ... although with quotes around it. sm
Do you have a supervisor/liaison/QA person to ask?
I agree ... not really professional. Of course, I still cringe when I have to type "belly" instead of stomach. 
If the doctor dictates it, you transcribe it, in quotes, as this
is what the patient said.
I was told if it is in quotes transcribe it even if curse word...
The doctor wouldn't have said it if he didn't want it in his report. If it wasn't in quotes now no I wouldn't have put it in. But since he was quoting yes I would.
They are teaching you to always put the period inside quotes now. I just took a college English
It still looks wrong to me that way, but that's how they're doing it.
