In eight years of transcribing ortho, I've never heard this term...
Subject: In eight years of transcribing ortho, I've never heard this term...
Impression:
1. Left de Quervain tendinitis.
2. Left carpal tunnel syndrome.
Will get EMGs. The patient has evidence of s/l palmarthrorheumatosis. He runs it together, so it may be palm (or palmar) arthrorheumatosis.
Any help is appreciated. :)

I've never heard of that term, but is doc saying AND
Subject: I've never heard of that term, but is doc saying AND
spelling "rabbit," or just s/l spelling "R-A-B-B-I-T" - because if that's the case, maybe saying something like "already brought to the step-down unit..." or something like that ??? Just a guess.

The term I'm hearing sounds like "elegant" On this report he is saying "elegant REM cycling." Could the word really be elegant? What does this mean? TIA.

I use all the methods the other poster suggested. I also begin thinking to myself "what could he/she be saying" here that would fit in with the context? Can I actually hear anything that is pertinent? Think in terms of what is being done to the patient, would they have a reason to be using a particular med, technique, test, whatever. You sometimes just cannot make sense out of garbage no matter what methods you use and even QA will give them big, fat blanks.

We were told it was Worker's Comp. That was the way the insurance company I worked for at the time wanted it. I think it is just a matter of preference.

2 years' time because years is plural. One year's time because it is singular, only one year.

Subject: Not where I've worked
The places I work at make it real clear. If the doctor states Synthroid 100 mg and you type it and leave it that way, that is a patient care error which is the highest number of points I've ever seen taken off. We have to have 98% or above accuracy and if you mess up and drop below that, you either get correction action (at one place) or get 5% of your pay reduced (at current place). Now I agree with you that it shouldn't be that way. My sister-in-law is a nurse and is appalled that we have to do that since we are not in the chain of responsibility regarding medication distribution. Unfortunately, at least where I've worked, we are responsible for knowing all meds and proper dosages which is why my former employer gives Quick Look to all its employees.

2 years' time or 2 year's time- Which is correct?

but it depends on if your account is strict "type what they say" and abbreviations like this are okay. I'm not in my office so I can't check BOS, but I'd bet the BOS says write it out unless you have strict rules about typing what is dictated.

That cannot be. Don't think I'll be changing my ways anytime soon. Your reference book really says that? So, a patient would be gravida X, para IX, AB VIII? Absolutely no way.
