Why don't you go read through your posts, they don't sound very friendly to me.

If it makes you feel any better
Subject: If it makes you feel any better
I actually corrected a radiologist to her face because she was using that very term incorrectly, just like your dictator! She admitted she'd had a discussion with a professor in school about that word, and I could tell she couldn't understand it when he explained it and couldn't understand me either! She didn't think I was right, but she finally said she didn't care if I changed it! I was appalled that somebody with an MD & I think a PhD couldn't get the concept! What a nut!

I am a QA person, and your QA person should have known that on a verbatim account, according to the BOS 2nd edition, it is subcu. Also, your supervisor... well... the client comes first, and the client is ALWAYS right, and if they want verbatim, then they get verbatim.... so you did the right thing in typing it subcu.....don't stress yourself out over it.....

This is why I'm so confused because the grading of the transcripts is so inconsistent. They say transcribe as dictated, then add headings, it's always different. It would be nice if it were the real world then there would be more of a reference point. Thanks for the tip!

Probably too late for this message, but wanted to give you an FYI - I have several doctors who say "fifty, five zero" hoping the transcriptionst understands they are saying 50 rather than 15

he never again mentions the left tonsil. Even at the end of the dictation when he says the plan is to rule out a right peritonsillar abscess. Same thing he said in chief complaint, except there he said "left". Oh well....I flagged it and I'll let QA make the change.
Thanks for the advice.

of himself about doing an INR level to make sure the Coumadin is therapeutic, not too much and not to little. The INR level should be between 2-3 for most labs. Sounds like he meant to say Coumadin, and may later on in the dictation talk about getting an INR level. Hope this helps!

I'm sorry, Since I already have suprascript and subscript up on my tool bar, my instructions were what to do for O(subscript)2 so all you have to do is type O2 (normal script) and it changes automatically. I don't like having to highlight the 2 and go up there and click the subscript button every time. I would rather type O2 and let Word change it for me. I try to get Word to do as much for me as possible. I do this for cm squared, cm cubed, H2(subscript)0, etc.

It seems to me you are throwing some of these new MTs WAY off by reading some of your posts. Hopefully you don't wing it like that when you're doing QA.

I do QA all day long, and believe me the MT with the question can be way off. Sometimes taking theh s/l seriously can put them back on track.

Neuroforaminal versus neural foraminal (warning: rant ahead)
Subject: Neuroforaminal versus neural foraminal (warning: rant ahead)
I know this has been discussed before, but I have never typed anything except "neural foraminal," and when I first started with this particular account, all the templates had "neural foraminal stenosis" as one of the headings on the spine CTs and MRIs.
Now the "billing and coding specialist" who is in charge of the account (and who is obviously not a trained transcriptionist - she typed "flebolith" on one report I saw), has changed all the templates to "neuroforaminal," and when I just changed them back, she sent me a nasty little note saying "Don't change the templates."
Well, you should have seen the sorry state the templates were in when I started here. I have spent hours of my OWN time (I am paid by the line) not only cleaning up the templates but also standardizing the naming of the templates so that they can be found easily using the wild card notation.
I am tempted to send an email back saying, "Okay, I'll leave them that way, but 'neuroforaminal' is incorrect" but I am leaving this account as soon as they have my replacement trained.
In fact, I just sent it. I'm leaving, got nothing to lose, and actually have more work than I can comfortably handle right now. I really wish she would tell me she didn't need me any more. 
Oh, I just got her reply: "Actually, no it is not [incorrect]. That is how it was always spelled before we hired ____________ [MTSO] and that is how all of the rads wanted it spelled."
So be it.

Subject: not to be rude but Stedman's has been....sm
Not to be rude - it IS coffee grounds that one can vomit and when used as a noun, but when it's used as an adjective, it is coffee-ground emesis....I suppose it could be an either-or so I'm not giving anyone an argument. Just have seen Stedman's be wrong on many occasions and I don't use Stedmans as a result.
To each his/her own....

coffee-ground emesis is old blood in the vomitus, coffee-ground vomitus.

Subject: I really don't think the poster was trying to be rude to you
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.
not OP responder but I don't think it was rude
Subject: not OP responder but I don't think it was rude
I think YOU need to toughen up your skin - and to say *thanks for nothing* to the person responding to you AND WHO GAVE YOU THE CORRECT ANSWER was REALLY VERY RUDE on your part, more rude than your perception of the responder.
Do you really think another person is going to want to help you on the word board in the future when you say *thanks for nothing* when the correct answer is supplied to you?
The least you could have done was say - *no need to be rude but thanks for the answer*...and again, with a :) in the subject line (smiley icon) - seems to me the responder was not rude.
Just an observer here........who believes in being fair and just.
Rude post

Whoever asked - do you utilize any resources - you are rude and make the rest of the "nice" MTs look bad - this person needed immediate help - what would it hurt to have just answered the question - I hope you never post to this word board and if you do that no one will give you the satisfaction of any kind of response - or perhaps respond to you with an incorrect answer that you will naively take as truth!

Subject: I can't believe how rude you are. MTs take time
out of their day to be helpful to other MTs on this board - and you insult them! The nerve of you. You should consider the fact that although not all responses are correct, the MT on the other end makes the ultimate decision - these are just suggestions - not set in stone. Maybe we should all stay off this board and let you take over - you seem to be so much more experienced.
Not rude, just curious where all this patience comes from. SM

Not all MTs are way off in what they are asking about or looking for and some of these suggestions that have nothing to do with their requests can be very misleading, as well. JMO and again, not meant to be rude.

It isn't rude to direct someone to a resource that
Subject: It isn't rude to direct someone to a resource that
If a reliable resource had been used, it could have defrazzled the MT looking for a quick fix answer. There is that saying about teaching someone to fish versus just giving him a fish that really applies to being an MT. This MT wanted someone else to think for him/her. So okay, everyone has bad days, but a good MT practices sound research regardless of the day. The poster you referred to as rude was polite enough to point the OP to a site where the entire medication database can be downloaded onto his/her PC and can perform searches in a variety of ways for FREE, and get free updates to drugs as they come out. That doesn't sound as though the responding poster was being entirely rude.
Your comments about hoping the offending responder being given an incorrect answer on purpose was actually much more rude than the one trying to teach the OP to fish.
