Gravida 0, para 0.

If patient is gravida 0 shouldn't para 0 be understood?

23-year old white female, gravida 6, para 2, ab 4?
I don't blame him for saying that, I probably wouldn't have been so nice!
There should be mandatory sterilization in cases like that. 
Oops! 2nd para should be "before" which, not "after." (nomsg)

Pipelle is capped,though, I think. nm

I meant should be capped.

IMPRESSION(S): heading
I was told this morning by QA that if there are multiple listings under the 'IMPRESSION' heading, it should be changed to 'IMPRESSIONS'....does this sound weird to anyone else? I can understand DIAGNOSES, but I thought the 'impression' was THE impression of the doctor...? I cannot find this in the AAMT BOS. Please help....blonde MT here, LOL.
3 whole words were capped.
My child will never be healthy. Ever.
Unless I win the lottery or marry some rich person, we will always live paycheck to paycheck with maybe a few weeks of cushion. I tried going back to school and the kids could not handle it. I tried working outside the home again and things went to heck around here. Maybe when they are older but for now this is our life. I should be able to depend on my employer to pay me on time and correctly. It really isn't that much to ask.
Just put a heading on your resume that says...
REFERENCES
Furnished upon request.
I would definitely put your experience on your resume (your present company). Put the name of the job/company and the date you started and then put hyphen "present" (example - 03/23/2006 - Present). They will not contact them unless you give permission. And if you are concerned, just make a note that you would rather your present job/company. People do that all the time. If you put REFERENCES: Furnished upon request. Then if they want references, they will ask you who you want them to contact. But yes, put your experience on your resume.
Format heading
Tt the top, under format, check 'bullets and numbering'. Or, you can click on 'reveal formatting' under the same heading, then click 'show all formatting marks' and it might show you what is turned on that you don't need. Make sure you un-click the 'show formatting marks' when you're done to get rid of them.
Spironolactone - look up and see if it's capped, I don't remember nm

I didn't say it shouldn't be capped.
My post says ibuprofen should not be capped unless at the beginning of the sentence. Maybe you should read that more clearly.
cannot is 1 word and hospital not capped
lol
Heading to the doctor here in a few minutes
and after you sign in a they verify your info, they take a black marker and cross off your name. This same doc does do some of his dictations between patients and doesn't close his office door. Don't know how many times I have heard exactly what he is dictating.
The MT Wanted heading is from MTDesk or MTSpot, I think. nm

Heading to CA. My son is playing in a baseball tournament...sm
Hope everyone has a wonderful turkey day.
Great! Created a heading format, now want to
have the cursor start at the beginning of the first heading, can that be done within the autotext?
heading there this fall..feel free to share
what to see when and where!!

the word state doesn't have to be capped, Misha
!
web site with capped/lower case meds??

Are you inserting after a bolded heading and bold wasn't
nm
Word hasn't capped after a colon since the 2000 version.
You have to manually cap with shift key or run a macro at the end of the report. You can also hit shift+f3 to change the case to upper.
there is good and bad in every procedure--sm
I suppose and everybodies experience is different. If you decide to do it, I wish you all the best. Keep an eye on those cells. My father died of cancer that began with esophageal cancer, two years ago. Both my brother and I have reflux problems, as well, so I do worry about it. Good luck to you in your decision.
Any MTs around that have had the LASIK procedure and how are you doing?
Please post a response
What does elective procedure got ....
nm
Very simple procedure
Download your voice files from the email to directory (folder) on your hard drive (usually should create special one just for this) you know you will always use for docking these recordings. Then open ES and click on the Load square at top of program. This will open the directories on your computer. Go find the one where you just downloaded the email recordings to, click on the one you want to bring into ES (one by one or batch). Then click the "load" key at the bottom of that screen and you should see them coming into the ES window. Takes a while for them to install if they're long. It's only complicated the first time!
not painful and very quick procedure but...sm
But......a person needs multiple sessions and that's where it gets very expensive. The plastic surgeons I work for did it and the one who does not own the practice charged me 50%. I went twice and didn't go back and yes, the chin hairs recurred. It is nonpainful and fast procedure FYI.
operative report vs procedure
I used to think I understood the difference between these two types of reports (operative versus procedure). Somehwere along that way, amidst dozens and dozens of account profile specifications, technology advances and MDs who always key in the OP code regardless of report type, I am not so sure anymore. I would like to try to elicit a consensus on how transcriptionists distinguish between these two report types and what criteria they are using to do this?
The prep is worse than the procedure, believe me. nm

Anyone familiar with Spark procedure ...
relating to bladder suspension? Can't find on internet.
well, i've hesitated having a procedure done
in large part due to the economy. Probably there are a lot of people that are holding off on elective surgeries along with other unessential spending....
s/l two 4 x 4’s peripad and mesh panties.......PPH procedure
s
prep worse than very easy procedure....nm
Read the policy and procedure manual, maybe something is in there.
I do not believe there is a law, but you could check with the labor department.
Sorry, you said Edit Script - think same procedure applies though.
I think the same thing applies, go find where you downloaded it and click on the setup file. All programs will not self-install. If I remember correctly you have to find the install or setup file to start it manually. Sorry for the mix up in programs. Good Luck again.
Do you give a discount for standard procedure notes? SM
I have an account who asked me to provide them with a form that could use for standard outpatient procedure notes. I personally feel that there are too many variations for them to use one paper form and offered for me to do it for them at a discount since almost the entire thing would be a standard that I don't have to type in its entirety. This account is a great account and I figured it isn't a big deal say to chage 25 cents instead of a $1 (example) for the form since I only have to type a couple letters to pull up the form and insert any changes.
I really don't know the easiest way to keep track of this discount or what amount to discount. Any ideas? I'd rather see me getting a small amount for doing the form then to get nothing for them using a paper form. Plus, the account is newer to me and I thought it might look like a plus for me to offer them a discount and to make their life easier by not having to dictate the entire note.
Thoughts...ideas??? TIA
it is SPARC sling bladder suspension procedure. nm

not sure about Neer procedure, but this is a great site for samples...
http://www.mtsamples.com/index.asp
-----I have not personally checked all the reports here but the site seems reliable...
Did you try to Google Neer procedure/impingement, etc?
Does anyone know of a good site to find sample op/procedure reports
I have found very few sites that have sample op reports. Anything would be appreciated. Thanks 
That's funny, I *love* ER's. Also Ops, procedure notes. Can't stand anything LONGGGGGGGG. n
.
Could you post the entire sentence? Is "parogy material" something used in the procedure or
something encountered during the procedure?
Ridiculous. It's not a medication or a procedure she's questioning. This is a moral issue.
She is way out of line to question transcribing that. You're comparing apples to oranges.
Well then, don't start at the beginning, start in
x
How about we start one? Here are a few ...
TransHealth - 0.08 - .10 per line. Employee status. Benefits. Does not offshore.
QED - 0.06 per line to start.
First Choice - 0.10 per line, IC only, no offshore.
Keystrokes - 0.08 per line, $1.08 for radiology to start. Both IC and Employee. No offshore.
TRX - up to 0.09 per line. IC only. Not sure on offshore.
does her first name start with an L and last name a T?
Hey, maybe they should start (sm)
a legal secretarial organization and screw that up for half a million people. They've done enough damage in this field.
I say start looking elsewhere...sm
but don't leave this job until you have something else. In the mean time, call these people and ask what the problem is. It could be something that they are unaware of. It happens to me all the time. And unfortunately, usually one e-mail or call to any company works. You have to be persistent. Get on the phone and call them and don't stop until you get a reply, and while you are waiting on work and a reply, start applying eslewhere. Good luck to you!
Start out with
having your lawyer send a letter asking for prompt payment to avoid legal action. That might just be enough. Plus, having your lawyer write a letter doesn't cost TOO much. If that doesn't get it then you will have to sue. I hope it doesn't come to that. Good luck!
Why don't you start
by calling the funeral home/director who handled the original burial. I am sure this will not be the first time he has dealt with this situation. If you don't want to deal with them, find a funeral home your are comfortable with to handle the arrangements.
I'm not trying to start anything, but (sm)
what would this organization do? I've never really understood what AAMT does/did and why I should be a member. How would AAMT or any new organization benefit the MT?
Start looking around...
My department has gone from 20+ to 3 in the last 2 years. In part due to voice recognition and the addition of EMR.
