when QA changes my CO2 to cO2 in chemistries, it's already on it's way to the client. They changed it on their own without a QA marker being placed.....
thanks for the idea - I'll mention it to the head of QA next time *S*

If the doctor has an accent and is speaking in broken English with poor sentence construction, then you could be right.
This definitely sounds like something another set of ears should hear!

I accidentally posted my email address in the subject line of the post above. I was wondering if you could be a dear and remove that post please? I surely don't want my email address out there. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks in advance.

why point it out? I highly doubt this newbie will blame this board for anything. She is going to learn new things from this board as we all have. She obviously was just feeling a little frustrated. But to blatently point it out I think is being a tattle tale. It is too bad you didn't have anyone to assist you. Neither did I at that time, but to blatently make her look bad on this board makes it seem like you are jealous or something. Aren't we supposed to be helping one another? If she lands the job, believe me, it won't be because she asked a verbatim question on this board. More than likely, this poor girl will land a job not paying very much and learn from that. She will eventually gain experience and knowledge.  All of us experienced ones won't live forever. We need to support out future not rat them out.

What I do is I put the little feet up on the keyboard - underneath the keyboard on the underside of keyboard are 2 little feet - to have the keyboard now on a little slant (a regular microsoft keyboard) and I try to remind myself to not strike the spacebar as hard as I used to with my right thumb (am right-hand dominant).
Hope you feel better soon in those hands (my hands feel like the hands of a REAL old person inside them from pounding on some keyboard for pretty much my entire life, piano first for 14 years, then a typewriter, then 5 years I worked in kitchens pounding it out on butcher blocks with knives, then back to MT work commencing in 1980 - so yeah, my hands, while they look young, feel inside like the hands of someone in their 80s!!).

by investing in some MT reference materials. It's much easier (and much, much faster) to look things up that way, and learn as you are researching. Also suggest your getting someone to mentor you 1 on 1. This job is tough enough!!

your first investing in the big Dorland's medical dictionary with definitions (or Stedman's big one--though I've always preferred the Dorland's). That will hold you for quite a while. As a matter of fact, when I started out, that was pretty much the only reference book we had.
Also, a good drug book would help you immensely--suggest Drake & Drake. Since we have the Internet, you can use that, but the book is more helpful.
After you get going, you'll be able to see what specialties you transcribe the most and then can get the word books specific to that specialty. Like I said, though, the big illustrated dictionary will carry you through for a long time.
If you do ops, I highly recommend Stedman's Med/Surg Equipment Words. This is great when looking up instruments, etc. For example, if you needed to look up a certain catheter, you would have 21 pages of alphabetized catheters listed from which to select. Beats jumping around the Internet, chancing the spellings.
The Stedman's Path/Lab book would be another good investment down the road. Those terms are sometimes very difficult to locate and there are lots of helpful tables in the back of the book.
Little by little you can build up your reference library.
BTW, when you get your reference books, you can look up terms by going to the noun. Earlier you had questioned Mallory-Weiss tear. You would find that in the list under "tear."
Good luck to you in your career!

The most basic medical terminology course (my first course 27 years ago) teaches all about the *o* use as a connecting letter for words in medical terminology. If you haven't even learned that yet, how is it exactly that you are an MT? *very curious*

presents for evaluation of chronic cough with peripheral eosinophilia and abnormal CT of the chest, per report (thickening of the bronchial wall). The constellation of findings is suspicious for chronic eosinophilic pneumonia or allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. However, the patient does not have a prior history of asthma and per report, the chest x-ray or chest CT did not show any pulmonary infiltrates. She does not have an extensive history of travel to suggest “ham et ic” infection. However, she traveled through Brazil many years ago. The IgE levels are elevated but not the point to suggest allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.

the meaning in an ADDENDUM.
How do you know what the doctor meant? GOOD GRIEF, are you the know-it-all (hyphens must be put here, as it is used as a noun!) on this board? Get over yourself!
Who understands what it means without an explanation?
The MOST obvious is apparently like I understood it:
5 packs in 1 year.
Maybe the doctor really meant this, 5 packs per year, so essentially a nonsmoker.
GOOD GRIEF, get over yourself!

She stated the account was verbatim, and clients expect to get what they pay for. We can't just change account directions because we feel like it. That would be telling the client, "Sure, I'll do your account verbatim, but only when I feel like it. If I want to change something, I will."
I don't hardly think that would go over well with the client. With a verbatim account, the client expects the finished report to reflect exactly what was dictated -- nothing more, nothing less. If the account wants the MTs to expand abbreviations, they wouldn't ask for a verbatim account.

I thought for sure the first part was "he was still" but my son, hearing me listen to it over and over, actually got that it was "he was told" and then I was able to get the rest. "He was told about a lupus anticoagulant." That makes a little more sense than what I had! Thanks for the help though! That was a good idea.
