that's what they're asking about, as most of us make typos when we're just posting to one of the boards here, looking for a quick answer .... :-) But, just wanted to give you a heads-up that a few things might have needed a second look there. That kind of thing becomes second nature after a while, but it's worth spending the extra time on it when you're starting out.

word here. Waddell's test is an exam used to determine if someone is faking pain. If the patient has exaggerated complaints of pain it is a positive Waddell's.

I was taught to never change a transcription, even if it's blatantly wrong. I would leave as dictated and leave a note for the doctor (if you have a place to do it)

with this one, thanks to your answers... still hearing something like "Pradus" but instead of obturate, was saying on THE RIGHT. definitely NOT piriformis or sure does not sound like it, then goes on to gluteus medius and maximus.

What is FUV1, used along with FEV1?? Never heard of it and cannot find. Also he also states FVC as being forced ventiltory capacity, which I know is called forced vital capacity; wonder if I should transcribe a non-word.

as to what a doctor MAY be dictating. Doctors make mistakes all the time. It is up to the individual MT to check out the validity of any info they ultimately transcribe. That's what I would do. Any MT who transcribes a "suggestion" should not be working as an MT. ;-)

I've gone to every medical website I can find. I have "asked the experts" on various medical websites. Even doctors can't find it! Thank you all for trying. If I come up with anything before I'm 99 years old, I'll post it.

Perhaps that poster was in the middle of a report.......so one wants the answer ASAP...but for years I mistyped Mohs....thought it was MOHS.....you know, like a flap in surgery.....and alot of them are all caps.....then my friend had to have Mohs surgery and I learned. The great thing about MT'g is that we are continually learning new things.

it would seem that the question was asked because you asked so many questions in a row. That normally does not happen unless someone is doing homework or taking a test.

type verbatim. The doc is saying pussy and that is what she should type.
If you look in the dictionary, there is a definition for pussy which means "full of or resembling pus".
You can't say "no way is "pussy" correct. You are telling her to alter the sentence and she said it is a verbatim account. It is a word.
If it is not verbatim, then alter away but you better be careful if you do this a lot.

this one tends to look like 3+ over 4 over 5, which is terribly confusing. My docs prefer 3+ to 4/5. But everybody is different, I guess.

each lab has their own specs. also, when a doc says low blood count, he would normally mean wbc; however, a lot of times, the doc would talking about the hemoglobin. to be safe, i would just type what he says.

I read both of your posts and it was a bit confusing to me. If you are asking what the word *saline* may be than that would clear it up. The confusion is that you put *saline s/l*. Normally, people put the s/l before the word they are trying to figure out. If there is another word in the sentence that goes after saline, you have to give us what it sounds like. If the sounds like is saline, that would help to clear it up.

must be brand new to QA....my QA person would definitely know that cold agglutinin has to do with blood and not the spine...IMHO..and wouldn't make those *most diabetics have hypertension* types of blanket statements and my QA person is up there in years of experience......and work ethics.
Who knows - anyone can be anything on this medium we call the web.
Take it all with a HUGE grain of salt, and believe half of what you see and nothing of what you hear in the life. For all we know, the poster could be a troll. Again, we don't know that yet - we'd have to take a *wait and watch* attitude.
that's right but the poster's sentence....sm
Subject: that's right but the poster's sentence....sm
the poster's sentence is what I was describing - here's the sentence:
Cooperative young man who tends not to be very s/l robose (roe-bose)
and so I said in the subject line - *not very talkative* - sentence being *tends not to be very verbose.....
I guess I should have explained that better in my original post - sorry about that *S*

You may want to bold the "Addendum:" Then type as usual. This often happens at the end of the report and should be placed there. At least this is how I have always done it.

I just goggled the V.A.C. Therapy System and have been reading all about V.A.C. Therapy Systems (many different types) for the last 15 minutes. I love MT work, been in it for decades and still learn something new EVERY SINGLE DAY!
I'm just a tad too quick to post.........that's MY flaw....*LOL*
Have a nice day!!
