It sounds like the MD is saying "oatsi" this is on a patellofemoral procedure. Can anyone help?

If the clinic does procedures or is SM
accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of HEALTHCARE Organizations, they have to comply.
I think gynecologic procedures
get me- it makes me sick to my stomach to hear some of the stuff they do, like I can feel it myself. And could there be a creepier term than uterine cry???
I have them for routine procedures for
the same doc -- T&A, cholecystectomies, appy's, and a lot of my orthopedic doctors. I also have them for ROS and PE exams. I just leave jump markers for values, right/left, and things like that.
Mayor NO followed NONE of the procedures he was supposed to
Heard this on the radio. There are certain steps in the city emergency procedures that are to be followed on a local level, state level, national level. The mayor of NO for all his complaining about the Federal Government, did not follow any of the procedures he was required to. Interesting.
I like procedures/ops, because of not fooling with grammar much or Sm
drugs, new stuff. I am lazy and don't like to work very long in the day!
Ask your QA what the account considers procedures sm
and make a list.
This really CAN be confusing at times.
What types of procedures? I love doing
cardiac caths because most docs will say the same thing over and over, same for bypass grafting, just different grafts and locations. All in all the procedures stay basically the same. This also works for cardioverting, just change the joules where appropriate. When I do a cath or other procedure for the first time. I will make a normal for it then make changes as they come along. These procedures can be good for the line count!. Also, in your short keys, make short cuts for left and right anterior descending, ejection fraction, end diastolic pressure, etc., you get the picture. They will use these a lot.
I have found that most of the time the more difficult dictators are the ones that will basically go word for word in dictating their reports. Good luck!
Most vet. meds/procedures/techniques are

An operation involves cutting, procedures do not.

Fascinating stuff!
Need tips on being productive with cardiology procedures

Don't forget the "good Mayor" who did not follow standard emergency procedures
But he sure is quick to throw blame on everyone else.
I love procedures, colonscopes, EGDs, cardiac caths - this stuff earns me the good money, ESL or no!
pt ortho
There is a post on job seeker's board for part-time ortho or p.r.n. I am not sure if it is filled yet or not. You will have to scroll down a ways to find it.
and if you can do ortho, you then can...sm
do radiology and then neurology and rheumatology......it all kind of links together in that way, at least for me 28 years ago is how it went....ortho to radiology to neurology and rheumatology and now today I can do it all........I especially love infectious dz, oncology, and I do not like OB/GYN nor eyes.
ortho help
I imagine it's pseudarthrosis .. not pseudOarthrosis.
W/C and Ortho
I have five years experience in both; work done is for the state of CA, although I do not live there. Every specialty has its own terminology, etc. It should not be too difficult a transition, but it could be challenging to make lines until you become familiar with it.
Ortho
I've done ortho and acute care so far.
I like ortho the best, probably because I started out doing that. They have such a huge number of strangely-named signs and tests though that just slay me!
ER reports sound like they might be interesting. Seems like you'd hear it all doing those!
Ortho help
 
Due to account reassigment I am now going to be doing strictly orhto accounts.
I do have Instant Text and several Stedmans such as phrases but no specific specialty books.
I am wondering if the Ortho Word Book is something I should purchase?
I am also wondering about some the ABCZ products?
I welcome any suggestions.
Thanks!
ortho help
I have done ortho clinic in the past, just not 100% of the time.
I previously did multispcialty for many years which mostly consisted of family practice with an occational specialty thrown in to break the monotomy.
I would not say I am nervous about 100% ortho but I am "cautiously optimistic". Since it seems likeall I would be doing in the immediate future I was wondering if I should invest in the books etc.
Thanks for the input and offer to help.
Ortho
IMHO Ortho is the easiest of all unless it's urology. An ortho book mighth make it easier for you...like Stedman's. If you do ops think carpenter...hammer, screws, nails, etc. You can use the Stedman's Word Book to look up say "screw" or "Pin" or "nail" to get the specific name. I would highly recommend it. Good luck to ya.
I am looking for prn ortho work. Can anyone help me?
 
ortho work
what area?
OJT training (especially for ortho)
I think cardiology may get a little more complicated (or not) depending where you work. I think orthopedics is probably easy enough for you to pick up on the job considering your experience. I would try for OJT. Good luck!
Ortho term for PIP fx. sm
Gotta be significant. Listen again. :)
(Sometimes we can try TOO hard, ya know? :))
WC ortho always interesting...
I love doing ortho WC! It's like watching soap operas without getting hooked. Will this person be a malingerer, or does he really have long-term injuries? Very interesting.
Wish I was doing ortho surgery!!
....I like bones better than organs!!
Sted's Ortho
Stedman's Orthopaedic & Rehab Words 5th Edition (bright green) includes chiropractic, occupational therapy, physical therapy, PODIATRIC, & Sports Medicine.
Ortho/WC experience
I've been doing WC ortho/neurology for 10 years in Oregon. It was my first transcription job with no prior transcription experience, so pretty easy to catch onto.
ortho and W/C experience
I have ortho and W/C experience, about 9 years of it.
ortho references
Anyone know any good ortho web sites? Joints? foot orthotics?
Ortho sites
I am fairly new to orthopedics. Anybody have some good websites for ortho terms and medications?
Here's a link that will be invaluable for ortho.
Hope it helps a lot!
Need help with ortho term for PIP fracture
I'm working on an ortho eval for a patient with a PIP fracture. Doctor has dictated an unfamiliar term (there's always that ONE WORD) for me. He dictates, "X-ray examination today shows impaction at the base of the middle phalanx with approximately 70% joint surface involvement." Here's the word I don't know (spelled phonetically--Sorry": "A syphiant(??) portion of the joint surface is translated dorsally."
If someone could point me in the right direction for finding this word, I would really appreciate it!
Ortho term for PIP fracture
I see "significant." :)
4th ed stedman's ortho book
is listed on ebay for 9.99, if anyone is interested. I have 100% positive feedback rating, so you can bid with confidence. "judymari"
Have you tried Ortho-Novum? It is usually a lot cheaper. SM
When I tried Yasmin, it was going to be about $30/month on my insurance but I switched to Ortho-Novum, which is what I had used years ago for a long time anyway, and it is only $10/month. I know - it is ridiculous the way drug prices are.

I think the Ortho and Rehab is the one I pick up the most as well.

Stedmans Ortho book shows
both on pagge 455, plantar flexion and then plantarflexion injury, plantarflexion-inversion test. Maybe it is supposed to be by context ????
I have a Stedman's Ortho & Rehab book too
I type strictly ortho reports and that book has helped tremendously!! They have other books for other specialties too. They are worth every penny!
Pay question $2/page--ortho clinic
This is a subcontracting position. Is this good? I usually get paid by the line so I am clueless. Thanks in advance!
