Subject: P.S. If you type it in google was 2 words,
it asks if you mean "transnuchal." That is usually a sign that what you typed in is not the accepted form.

You can often use Google to find words by how
Subject: You can often use Google to find words by how
Sometimes you can type a partial phrase and install an asterisk (*) that will bring up a word if it's frequently used with the others. For example, try typing 'Nexium, *, Pepcid and lactose', or something similar, and see if Google brings up a word that it might be in the list of results. Or, type the phrase and put your best guess of how it's spelled, such as 'Frolic', 'Rolic', 'Folex', etc. Sometimes doing something like that, using Google as a Soundex, will bring results.

procedure you are working on? For instance, the #44 island peeling forceps, google for peeling forceps + procedure. "limmuth" is probably limbus (edge or border or a part) and "lubetadine" sounds like Betadine - sure this is not a numbing topical anesthetic drop? Sorry for lack of help - sounds you have your hands full with this one.

I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google
Subject: I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google
Google is great for retrieving anything faster than the speed of light *lol* - but if the info comes from a nonverifiable medical website, be very wary. There are a few I trust only...the NIH for one (Nat'l Institute of Health) and the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and a few others out of the government actually.
As for prescription places, I trusted rx.com for far too long, there are many more reliable drug websites out there... medilexicon.com is a great site and to confirm a proper name of a disease or things like that, there is whonamedit.com which, if you write to the site owner, can be added to (I have done some communication with the site owner so this is 100% true).
When I first started using google in MT work about 8 years ago as google is not that old, (got online 12 years ago, been an MT since 1980), I had looked up Spironolactone, and Google gave the spelling to me incorrectly and (who knew it was wrong?!?!??) I used their spelling and I was wrong.
So, only advice is be VERY CAREFUL what YOU CHOOSE to use as far as websites go regarding MT/ME work because in the end you're the one responsible....not google.

how to type out Type I Aortic aneurysm

I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
Subject: I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
I have had that happen to me before, and I was told by QA to not move things around in the report, maybe that is the same for you, but if I were typing this report, I would type it in the order as is dictated, even if that means typing it under the heading PLAN. Also, his vitals were probably taken at the end of the exam as they were repeated, so it would make sense to type them again under that heading. Hope that helps!

Hi, I'm a semi-new transcriptionist who has had no formal training, and I'm having some problems figuring out a couple spellings. One is a medication called *Inderon* (not sure how to spell). The other is a phrase that I'm not sure what exactly the doctor is saying. It sounds like *bill-raw-2 anastomoses* Thanks SO much for any help!!!

This doctor is slurring bad so I don't even know if my examples will be accurate!! It sounds like she hasn't gone to med school OR general english and doesn't know how to pronounce words. Ugh.
- Glypenitin? Some kind of medication. Don't know what it is for as this patient has many diseases.
- Sounds like "see-ko" syndrome... I think. I can't understand her!! Fecal syndrome? LOL Maybe it's sickle syndrome.. I don't know.
- Sounds like "smith". As in positive ANA, positive SSA and SSB (I can't tell if it's SSA and SSB or just one or the other GRR!!!!), positive RNP, positive __________, positive rheumatoid factor.
I'm going to try to finish this report. Wish me luck. :/
For the fun of it!! Hydroclomibmwlap... I don't expect anyone to look THAT up. ;) That one deserves a big fat blank. Yes, that is the exact way she pronounced it.
Enavaprovolil was actually Enalapril. How horrible is that? LOL javascript:editor_insertHTML('text',' ');
Also, if anyone has a 2x4 so I can go beat this doctor senseless, I'd appreciate it. ;)
