I create AutoCorrects for common things like cm squared, O2, etc. but you have to remember to click on the "formatted text" or it won't come out right.  That way all I do is type cm2 and it suprascripts it for me.

I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google
Subject: I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google

Google is great for retrieving anything faster than the speed of light *lol* - but if the info comes from a nonverifiable medical website, be very wary.  There are a few I trust only...the NIH for one (Nat'l Institute of Health) and the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and a few others out of the government actually.


As for prescription places, I trusted rx.com for far too long, there are many more reliable drug websites out there... medilexicon.com is a great site and to confirm a proper name of a disease or things like that, there is whonamedit.com which, if you write to the site owner, can be added to (I have done some communication with the site owner so this is 100% true). 


When I first started using google in MT work about 8 years ago as google is not that old, (got online 12 years ago, been an MT since 1980), I had looked up Spironolactone, and Google gave the spelling to me incorrectly and (who knew it was wrong?!?!??) I used their spelling and I was wrong. 


So, only advice is be VERY CAREFUL what YOU CHOOSE to use as far as websites go regarding MT/ME work because in the end you're the one responsible....not google.

Subject: On the account I'm on they want us to

type out potassium chloride. Which I'm only too happy to do with a shortcut, LOL.


The account that I am on
Subject: The account that I am on

The account I type is "almost verbatim".  We type subcu, but in the lab values we have to expand the workds (alkaline phosphatase, et cetera).  If a word is dictated that is not a known abbreviation, we have to type it out.  I think each account is different, and as the other poster said, they should have given you an client form so that you would know what the hospital expects. Sounds like your guy kinda got his tail in a crack and felt like he needed to unload on a poor, innocent MT who was just trying to do her job!  Hang in there!      W'e're cheering for you!

Does your account use the BOS 2?
Subject: Does your account use the BOS 2?

That's the source of the "Don't capitalize it when it stands alone" rule. My suggestion would be to follow BOS if your account uses that and to be consistent. Stedman's is (are?) notorious for inconsistency with this sort of thing.

Go with what your QA tells you.  It may be acceptable but the doctor may not like/want it done that way.  I've found every account has different rules and preferences.

So, looks like this is one of those that is up in the air and probably something to talk to company QA about? 


 


Is this a verbatim account?
Subject: Is this a verbatim account?

If not, it would make more sense like this:

It would help beneficial organisms AND commensals bacteria colonize his colon and help as a first line of protection against disease.

If not, then I would type:
It would help beneficial organisms, commensals bacteria colonozie his colon and help as a first line of protection against disease.

Since they want the beneficial bacteria and commensals bacteria to colonize his colon, there is no need for a comma before colonize.

and as I said, that is how I was taught.  Now, every account I've done wants it that way and it is that way on the Dangerous Abbreviation list...AND that's what I said - use mL not cc.
