Subject: planemetry??seems probable. telemetry seems improbable. SM

From the word parts, I imagine that planemetry is measuring the size of the heart and its chambers by taking "still" echos in various planes, then moving the screen markers to define the maximal up-down dimensions and the maximal left-right dimensions.

how long would it take?
Subject: how long would it take?

How long would it take one of you experienced MT's that always answer my questions to transcribe an 1 1/2 of dictation? The doctor speaks english, is very easy, I have very little research to do and it still takes me about 10-12 hours with interuptions.

How long would it take you?
How long would it take?
Subject: How long would it take?

It has always been said it should take double the time to transcribe that it did to dictate. If it is easy dictation and not too fast, should be able to do it in 2 1/2 hours.

It does take some time and experience to be able to do transcription that fast.

I"ve been working as an MT only five months since school. No one reviews my work before the doctor. He hates me to leave a blank, but how long is fair for me to search for this type of work at 8 cents per line? I've spent over an hour.

You can tell it has been a long day, sorry for ranting on. I can't understand hardly anything on the dictation.

probably shortening terms; might be choosing between Total Condylar II through III (which go by many names like GSB, TCP, TCII,TCIII etc.)and a hinged prosthesis...and they won't know which one until they go in and see the actual damage or injury; or, if it's a revision, which components will work best....

long liver
Subject: long liver

I posted this on the main board and it disappeared so I'm trying again.  Word help is not what I'm looking for though.  I'm trying to find information on having a long liver....not an enlarged liver, but a long liver which I have been told can be a normal variant.  In searching google for abnormal, long, length, etc., I am not coming up with anything pertaining to a long liver.  I know it sounds weird.  It is not a common thing to have but some people do and I would like more information.  TIA.

Here's a list of meds I found used for intravesical instillation: Adriamycin, doxorubicin, epirubicin, mitomycin C, valrubicin, pirarubicin and gemcitabine gemzar. Don't know if you can hear any of those, but good luck to you and let us know if you find out for sure what it is.
