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 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.

But I don't think it's rude or snotty to reiterate the original question.
What is rude and snotty is to interject when you have nothing to offer.
Some people DO care whether it's spelled right. And sometimes the references are wrong.
That's why we have the Word Help board.

Am I behind the times or is FOCI now singular sm
Subject: Am I behind the times or is FOCI now singular sm
as well as plural? I left a note on a report that I had changed "foci" to "focus" when he was clearly stating there was ONE focus of enhancement on an exam, and he just dictated one where he specifies "there is a foci - F - O - C - I - of echogenicity..." on an ultrasound.
So am I just old-fashioned, anal-retentive, or what?
