allowed to do. However, at one of the first hospitals I worked for (back in the early 80s) for example, we had a doctor who was constantly using abbreviations which we were not allowed to do in diagnosis. I will NEVER forget this. His diagnosis was "P.M.S.O.B." The transcriptionist, of course, changed this in the diagnosis to read "Shortness of breath at night." He flew off the handle - this abbreviation meant "poor, miserable, son of a B****" and that is what he wanted in the chart. It was referred to the Hospital Director who told our department manager that even though this was definitely not correct, he dictated it and wanted it there and there was not much we could do about it if we wanted to keep our jobs. This is a lesson that taught me never to second guess a physician. Granted this was not at all politically correct (we didn't have that term back then), but that is what he wanted, so I don't change anything in that vein - I may question it and flag it for the higher ups, but I don't change it.

It would look weird without a heading. Thanks.
I am allowed to edit and correct
Subject: I am allowed to edit and correct
I am allowed to make changes to what he says, which is why I asked the question. I am allowed to edit and change what the doctor says and how he says it - and I do a lot of that in the course of the day because some of the things he says are just a mess. "Retarded" did seem a little derogatory to me and I think I will put it in better terms than that.
I guess it comes down to what the rules are that you work by - whether you can edit or if you are verbatim. If it was verbatim I wouldn't have questioned it (even thought I personally feel it is insulting) but since I have the option to change it, I was just wondering what the correct term was now because I know it keeps changing. Thanks for all the opinions!

I put the word in as dictated with quotes around it and then sent it off to QA. I noticed later that they just deleted it and put a blank and sent it through without the word. Yet one more reason why I hate being on verbatim accounts!

Subject: This has gotten me too many times...
I keep getting this and I'd like opinions on this. Right after liver/spleen/abdominal exam, she says something that sounds like "go-ac" or "golac" negative. While I'd be inclined to put guaiac, she then does the GU/rectal exam and says heme negative stool. Wouldn't that be repeating herself? So, I'm wondering if anyone has any idea what it might be instead, or should I stick with guaiac? Thanks bunches!

Which is correct? What do you use?
Times 2 or x 2
Hi all... I have been told by two different places two different things. I can't decide who is right! Is it written times 2 or x 2? For example: The patient had surgery for corneal transplant x 2. Or... The patient had surgery for corneal transplant times 2.
Was my old place of work correct when they told me to type out the word "times"??
Thanks,
Jen

s/l outgoing times three
Subject: s/l outgoing times three
In the physical exam section, the first sentence the doctor says is:
"He is pleasant," then what sounds like "outgoing times three," then "in no acute distress." For a full sentence of what would read, "He is pleasant, outgoing x 3, in no acute distress."
Does that sound right? He says it so quickly that I really can't make it out. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever heard that before.
thanks!

I did cut her a break, several times

I would have been less forthcoming...you know, I got my job on my own...she should as well. Did someone give you a job without your having earned it yourself? And how do you suppose she will keep it IF she gets it? Will she blame yourself for not knowing how to be an MT (just getting quick fix answers here without knowing how to research or having an understanding of what she is transcribing?) or will she blame this board for not helping her enough?
I can symphathize with being new...everyone started out as a newbie; however, I do not condone - nor has this board - answering job test questions. And if she had books as resources as she stated, her questions on this board discredit that statement.
