GI MT weighs in...for what it's worth:)
Subject: GI MT weighs in...for what it's worth:)

I type lab results a lot in my clinic notes and I would go with GGT, although I transcribe it as gamma-glutamyl transferase.

I haven't stumbled across anything for GDT, or GBT, or GDP, or anything close in Stedman's GI & GU words or in Stedman's Pathology & Lab medicine words.

Let us know if you are able to get feedback from your doctor regarding the correct term:) I'm interested to see how this pans out.

Subject: for what it's worth, I type CK-MB sm

It is CK-MB in my abbrev. book. But if you find it both ways from a reputable source, maybe you could appeal to have the points taken off that one.

bladder reflection - my 2 cents worth
Subject: bladder reflection - my 2 cents worth

In Dorland's "reflection" means a bending or turning back.  I have typed the expression often and am not truly sure how to explain it, but something like where the bladder is bent or folded onto the abdominal wall - as a location.   Below is an excert from Google.  What comes up in the notes I have is the following expression:


The anterior leaflet of the broad ligament on both sides was then incised along the bladder reflection to the midline from both sides and the bladder was gently dissected


The reflection of bladder on to the anterior abdominal wall is identified and the peritoneum divided at this position

SHE'S BEEN AN MT FOR ONLY 6 MONTHS!! SM
Subject: SHE'S BEEN AN MT FOR ONLY 6 MONTHS!! SM

I think you're jealous because she is getting help. She did the actual transcription herself. I didn't listen to it. If you had read my posts, and obviously you did not, I referred her to some references that would help her. I prefer books rather than links for many, many reasons.

As far as breaches in confidentiality, I don't know who NewbieMT is, where she lives, even if she is a "she," or where her account is. There is no telling by the document she presented for help. She was careful to not even leave dates of admission or discharge. Her report was presented such that it was totally untraceable, unrecognizable as far as identifying an individual, and completely generic. I give her a lot of credit for that. She has a lot of sense.

BTW, your posts are atrocious in grammar, punctuation and syntax. Tacky, tacky Stapler. I think you should focus on your own back yard.

What her QA is or is not doing is none of your business, nor mine. You didn't read older posts, and are just speaking out of an orifice. Newbie asked for help, and she got it. I don't bother with (so-called) MTs who don't give a flying you-know-what. I don't even answer their posts when it's something they could easily look up. See for yourself. I wouldn't waste my precious free time on someone who didn't care, who was out only for the money. This gal is good, and deserves a hand under the elbow THAT WE ALL HAD WHEN WE WERE LEARNING. Have you forgotten, or did you malign the people who tried to help you when you were learning?

You're not going to win this argument, so back off. If this newbie, or any other newbie (or even a not-so-newbie) wants my help, they're going to get it.

BTW, You ARE flaming. I've read some of your posts on other boards, and you are trouble. Leave this newbie alone. She's doing great and obviously is working hard.

"one does for themselves?" Really, now.
