This site is an interesting collection of slang/acronyms/abbreviations doctors use among themselves. DO NOT assume this to be a reference site, it is for amusement only!
Now sit back and laugh!

Great website for drug slang terms
Some of you might remember that I'm working for my BIL doing chemical dependency training videos (transcribing them).
Well, I came across a term that I'm unfamiliar with. I did a websearch and found this website. Thought others might find it helpful so decided to post it.

Happy MT week!

Funny, I just saw this same testimonial on a gossip website, the PerezHilton one.

Use of slang
Back in the day, over 20 years ago when I started transcribing, it was unheard of to transcribe slang in a report, but now you get your hand slapped if correct the slang. Thanks AAMT for making it so acceptable. Thank you AAMT for supporting outsourcing overseas. Thanks AAMT for making easier on those who taking our jobs away to not have know proper English.

Slang in Discharge Summary: Phos 2.1. Would this be phosphate, phosphorus, or alkaline phosphatase?
MTs is not slang - it means more than one MT. Just like
DTRs, TMs, etc. Those are quite often mistyped also - no apostrophe needed!!
OP did not use slang; you did (honky)

OP did not use slang above; you did above(honky)

I don't use slang, ever, unless it's in quotes from a patient or something. nm

On my account, have to type what they say, slang or not.
The correct way I've been told is satting.
If forced to transcribe the slang, then
satting would be correct. The two consonants after the vowel make the vowel short. In the dictation, "satting" (slang for saturating) is pronounced with a short "a" so that is how it should be transcribed. Typing only one "t" would make the vowel long. However, as at least one person has already pointed out, "satting" is slang and is not proper transcription style regardless of who demands it be typed that way.
A new word for my slang vocabulary! sm
"Snarky", huh? Love it! Guess it means what "cranky" meant to my generation! Gotta keep up with the vernacular and be a "with-it chick" (an outmoded expression in itself), even as a retired senior citizen! :D :D
*Ebonics* refers to the street slang, etc. (often heard in -sm
rap music, etc. Lots of white people, Hispanics, and even some Asians (all gangsta' wannabes) speak Ebonics as well. It's practically a second language in itself, so referring Ebonics-speakers to ESL isn't off the mark at all.
More ghetto wanna be slang a'la the MTV mindset I guess
Sounds intelligent doesn't it?
Just slang for girls, from a long time ago. Lots of them.. Dish, Broad, Chick...

You're funny. Ignorant, but funny.
I don't live in NYC and I don't work out of NYC and I make wayyyyy more than $23 an hour, SandyGIRL.
I'm an employee at the largest national and I make anywhere from $58K to $64K a year.
You don't have to believe anyone but you show your ignorance by telling those of us who make that money that we're full of it.
Hahaha
Sorry, that was not an ASR funny, just a regular ole dictation funny. LOL! nm

What a funny, funny reply. LOL
You are a genius! I am sorry you are ugly and fat. I feel bad for you, but what I can I do to help? Go to a plastic surgeon.
now that's funny, true, but very funny

Do you have a website for yours?? nm
..
What new website
I must live in the dark. I don't know anything a new website either.
I don't know about the new website either
This is all very frustrating. I have gotten no letter and no e-mail regarding any of this. Anyone that can provide details would be appreciated. 
MQ Website
 If your on the DEP platform, you should be on i-mail. If not, go to www.medquist.com, register, then you can access the QNet...side bar has all the latest and greatest. We got the email last week, then I got my snail mail copy Saturday...but, only a paragraph or 2 on the new pay plan...but my take was the real issue they wanted to get out is to preserve ALL documents at ALL costs for the upcoming legal battle in court
But their website says...
 They value their transcriptionists! And websites don't lie.
Which website?
//
website
I sometimes use www.rxlist.com
www.mayoclinic.com
and
www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo
Hope this helps.
What is the URL of their website?
If enough of us visit the website and state we would not use their service after reading what has happened to you... You might, just might, get a different tune from these people????
They said on their website that...sm
the pet(s) would be brought to you. I was also wondering the same thing until I read that on the website. I'm thinking they don't want people from 50+ states going down there for safety reasons, and maybe for congestion reasons. (There's alot of animal lovers out there!)
The website is up again now, and the picture of the frightened dog I was talking about is on there too. http://www.bestfriends.org/
Gosh, I know they are so busy, but I'm anxiously waiting to see if I can be a foster parent; so worried about those furry friends. It seemed time was of the essence for some of them, and that was yesterday a.m. I want to go down there and get them so bad. I just may have to do that if I don't hear from them.
Thanks for allowing me to get OT.
Wow! Thanks for the website. sm
I didn't forget. Never will.
I had my tissues out. What made me really lose it was Lee Greenwood's song. It was 13 years ago when my daughter was only 10 years old and her dance class used that song in a dance recital and they all did sign language while dancing. Everyone in the audience was in tears or close to tears.
When 9/11 happened, we had no cable TV. We did manage to get the local PBS station in and watched in horror. We had just moved into our house. We had a flag, but no pole, so we went out about 6:00 p.m. that night with the younger kids and hung the flag from a branch on our tree in the front. Within the next week there were flags at every house in our neighborhood.
I'll never forget.
Try going to their website and
paying with real American greenbacks.
here's a website for you

go to the state website for your area and type disability into the search box
Does anybody have the website...(sm)
where you can change your address online for multiple magazine subscriptions? I did this a few years ago and am moving again...cannot for the life of me now find that website.
Thanks!

If you go to the website for
I think it is AAPA. If you put physician assistant into Google it should come up as one of the first entries.
I think they have an explanation on there. It does vary by state, and I think the state board of medicine sets the standards.
I do know that PAs have to have the MD sign off on their charts - again, it depends by state whether this has to be done right away, once per month, etc....The ARNPs I type for don't have to have a sig line for the MD, but the PAs do.
There are probably specific procedures that PAs cannot do. The difference in schooling is quite a bit. PA is a 2 year Masters program in most cases, and applicants are expected to have health care experience to build upon. Medical school, as you know is much longer than that, but you can go straight from undergrad to med school (if you can get in). I am sure there are still PA programs you can enter as a college freshman and graduate with a Masters in 5-6 yrs, but many of them are now Masters level, requiring a BS to enter.

Their website
shows a link to the owner who is an eye physician in New York. Wonder if they have employees or ICs?

in the mail program from their website and even then, *their server couldn't be found*.......
I just took a look at the website and it looks like sm
She could use more votes. You can only vote once though, which I did earlier.
What was the website? sm
I better get some. I sleep awful.
I just went to the NBC website...
And it says an upcoming episode has not yet been scheduled. Weird! I like that show too and I kind of forgot about it last season. I saw the ads for the reruns too. Wonder why they haven't scheduled new shows yet...
The website said it came with some.
That part looked good to me, because I key directly into my client's system, so I don't have a lot of reports laying around to "train" it with.
I know I've already tried to input the same abbreviation several times into my present expander, so I know it'll be next to useless shortly. No way I'll recall all the oddball abbreviations I've put in to get around that.
You can set up a website too...sm
I've been contacted because of my brochures and my website. I was searchable on Yahoo and Google with my site.
