couldn't get out of my own way! Glad you came along. We have some brand-newbies here on this board lately who really need a lot of help and it's so easy to get misdirected. Hopefully we're not providing answers to transcription tests.

I don't have a scale in the house.  Well, I did once, but then it met an unfortunate demise with my maul/wood-splitter thingy.  Gotta check into that local anger management course some time...

Subject: it seems that some answers are just thrown--sm

out there with no real correlation to the question asked in the first place, and also given with global *ALL* circumstances, as well as being issued with a huge arrogant attitude as in that being the ONLY answer to the question, and also the person answering the question giving the distinct impression that they are superior to every one else on the board who are trying to *help*, simply because of her employment position and her *experience*. arrogance and superiority complexes are not viewed kindly on this board and some will definitely attempt to put that person *in their place*. We have to be careful of the answers we give to some questions, because inaccurate answers can affect the patient we are transcribing about. most of the people answering questions like to supply referenced documentation of what they think the answer should be and not just sling out sound-alike answers whether it pertains to the question or not, and saying that MTs are always off base with their questions and the sound-alikes are an attempt to get them thinking in the right direction. That approach will only get *made fun of* or a severe criticism. This is simply my observation and an attempt at an explanation. Everyone on this board tries to help, but it is the attitude that help is given in, which is important. Being QA does not necessarily make someone superior to someone else and a QAs answers are not always correct.

FISH [also called fluorescence in situ hybridization]

This is a lab test that measures the amount of a certain gene in cells. It can be used to see if an invasive cancer has too many HER2 (HER TOO) genes. A cancer with too many of these genes is called HER2-positive. If a cancer is HER2-positive, it may respond to Herceptin. (her-SEP-tin) This is a drug that can slow down or stop the growth of cancer with too many HER2 genes.

She is from Canada so may be they do things differently there. Yes, it seems like she knows everything, has an answer for everything, even if it is wrong, as in Lyderm, and there seems to be no stopping her.

I ask a few questions on this board and give some answers, only if I definitely know the answer. I feel it is difficult to do sounds like on this board without hearing the dictation. There is too much guessing going on.

Should be changed. Medical transcription should not even have strictly verbatim accounts. It's so unprofessional. Most verbatim account contracts I have ever had actually stated verbatim with light editing for grammar/punctuation per the AAMT.
