Considering a part-time employee position to take the place of my current part-time IC position. (Still work as a "full time" IC.) Just curious if I should expect a similar cpl? Thanks!

use of passed versus past
The doctor dictated, "Only lipase elevation passed 3 times normal."
and the QA corrected it to, "Only lipase elevation past 3 times normal."
I have no argument about it, I just want to know why 'past' and not 'passed' so I know what to do next time because sometimes these things are just so confusing..tnx!

You must be talking about employee status...
Subject: You must be talking about employee status...

because I agree with the other poster... I make 2-3 times the amount as an IC paid by the line as I would hourly... Thank God I still have the job. However, my mom did the same thing but just recently went to employee status because she needed the health benefits as her and my father were both self employed.... so it just depends on your situation I think!

Subject: I beg to differ...both are correct...sm

You are correct when you state the actual receptor is HER2 or HER2/neu. HOWEVER, I often hear docs *slang* the term down to HER-negative...been doing oncology for a long time too...if the doc SAID *HER-negative* and NOT "HER2-" or "HER2/neu-negative" then I would give them what they say...and HER-negative is acceptable. also, the JCO, Hopkins breast center, and ASCO all use "HER-negative" as a term....jmho.
sorry Kathie - I beg to differ - I have diabetes...sm
Subject: sorry Kathie - I beg to differ - I have diabetes...sm

I have been a type 2 diabetic first in pregnancy, then it went away for 8 years and then came back, lost 60 pounds, still have diabetes and have NEVER had HBP (high blood pressure), never been on any antihypertensive drugs ever and went to the MD last Thursday and my BP was 134/70.  I attribute the 134 to WCH (white-coat hypertension).  *LOL* 


So no, not every diabetic has high blood pressure - that's way too general a statement and I have been MT'g for 28 years and worked in a hospital for 10 years in many other capacities prior to MT'g.


Have a GREAT weekend!!!

Personally, I really dislike that feature. I do not have an answer for that one. It is a formatting question and perhaps someone else with more formatting knowledge might help you. good luck.
