So, 1 1/2 hours of dictation should only take 3-4 hours to transcribe. sm
Subject: So, 1 1/2 hours of dictation should only take 3-4 hours to transcribe. sm
then what in the H**l am I doing wrong. I just did 1 1/2 hours of dictation with 1350 line count and it took me like 12 hours. I did 4 hours last night uninterrupted. the rest this morning with little interruptions from my child (dh was home) and a couple breaks and lunch.
I thought 1350 lines were supposed to be full time work. That is what I have been hearing from so many people.
Now I am confused and really feeling like a failure as an MT. Maybe this is not my profession!

There are puffs as in like oat puffs or Cheetos puffs, etc that make good finger foods for infants.
All I could think of was cereal puffs but wasn't sure if there was a name brand infant food.

I cannot believe the literacy levels of the doctors coming out of medical school these days. I have one doc who doesn't know the difference between "calculus" and "calculi." He uses "calculi" every time, even when there is only one stone.
And another - OMG!! - she uses "nephrolithasis" interchangeably with "calculus" - as in, "There is a nephrolithiasis in the right kidney."

Ś-vent" sheath?? sm
Used in radiofrequency ablation of saphenous vein. I can hear a "6" but not so sure of the "vent" part. The "6-vent" sheath was inserted over the guide wire. Anyone heard of this?

To QA- I understand what verbatim means-you do not need to tell me, and especially not with sarcasm and bossiness. The word(s) you added were not in the dictation. In other words, what you apparently heard is not what I heard.
Thanks, I feel better.

Subject: Omni-Vent is a definite...I told you
I was not sure about Nasonex. Since I have no work until 9 AM and I get up early, I try to help people with only the terminology I know. Otherwise I do not post. I'm sorry I could not answer your question of Nasonex, but like I said, that is the only thing that comes to mind. I looked in my drug books and found nothing other than that. I looked in my ENT book as it has drugs listed and again nothing. I have done a lot of research for you, be a little more appreciative. Sounds like I got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Good luck with your search. Perhaps someone else can help you and that is your best bet when people start getting on.
I would spell it out, pulmonary arterial vent - sm
Subject: I would spell it out, pulmonary arterial vent - sm
My department would not allow us to use made up words or slang, so I would spell it out as pulmonary arterial vent, or pulmonary artery vent, and I'm not even sure about the vent. Maybe it should actually be ventilation. I'd have to see the context.

You should ask your employer about account specifics, but the way I was taught was that if "hours" is dictated, then you should put "hours" and not "h."

I have done all of these years, but some physicians will allow you more time as long as you are reliable. It also depends upon whether they use it for billing purposes.

Military time
0618 hours
Subject: 0618 hours
Military time is based on a 24-hour clock. "06" is 6 a.m. 6 p.m would be 1800 hours. You just add or subtract 12 to the time on the clock after noon to get the p.m. times.
I hope this clarifies. If you have any other questions, plase feel free to ask and I'll try to explain better.

Subject: time to type 1.5 hours of dictation..
It usually takes me twice the time to transcribe the work. If the doc is easy and you can go right from one template/document to the next, it should only take you like 4 hours at the most. 10-12 hours is an awful long time. What kind of interruptions are you getting.

if that is what he dictates, then I would use mph, or you can also spell it out miles per hour, both are acceptable, sometimes also depends on the client preference. If you spell it out though, you can get more characters for your line count!
