the 6.8 is 6.8 thousand, WBC on CBC is known to be in thousands. sm
Subject: the 6.8 is 6.8 thousand, WBC on CBC is known to be in thousands. sm
I do have some docs who dictate it as "6800" and others who dictate it as "6.8 thousand" and others simply as "6.8."
I know, from my education, that WBC on a CBC is in thousands. But i transcribe it however they dictate it.
I can understand how an MT who "always did it" one way could have trouble typing it the other way when she knows it's technically correct either way.

how do you transcribe this??
Subject: how do you transcribe this??
Doctor says * cardiac-wise the patient is doing well * OR * GI-wise he has had, blah blah blah blah...
I personally do not like the phrase * dash wise * The only way around it, seems to me, is to add a bunch more words like * as far as his cardiac condition is concerned * which does not sound like the dictator.
What do you do?

EKG help - J Point

EKG demonstrates normal sinus rhythm at 61 beats per minute with normal axes, normal intervals, J point elevation 1 and 0; otherwise, no ischemic changes.
But just not sure on how to type the 1and 0 or if he is saying 0, but sounds for sure like 1. Anyone with any ideas. This is a new one on me? Any help appreciated!!!

Sometimes I think you can get to the point where
Subject: Sometimes I think you can get to the point where
Someone new at this might have to look-up a lot things. Sometimes you just get to the end of your rope with researching especially when the doc isn't sounding too clear or the word is slurred. We must support one another though not tear each other down. Why can't people just go by the old saying of "if you do not have something nice to say then do not say anything at all". To come off like a know it all proves what? Absolutely nothing in my opinion. Not everyone is up on everything.

I'm doing a report on a hip arthroplasty, and the doctor says the Secur-Fit shell was driven into place in approximately 4520 parameter based off the sciatic notch.
Is that 45 x 20 or 45-20 or just as I have it above? I'm stumped!

I have a doctor who keeps saying axillosubclavian brachiocephalic vein as if this is one vein he is referring to, but I think it has to be two, so how would you transcribe it when he lists the procedures performed as:
1. Right axillosubclavian brachiocephalic vein mechanical venous thrombectomy using the Trellis-8 device.
2. Right axillosubclavian brachiocephalic vein balloon angioplasty using a 10 mm x 4-cm long balloon followed by 6 mm x 4-cm long balloon followed by 7 mm x 4-cm long balloon.
3. Supervision and interpretation of fluoroscopy for performance of right axillosubclavian brachiocephalic vein mechanical thrombectomy, thrombolytic therapy and balloon angioplasty.
He doesn't pause between the words axillosubclavian and brachiocephalic vein. Should there be a dash between the two or the word and?
