Subject: You need to getcha a copy of the AAMT BOS
I know a lot of folks diss it but it's helpful in settling these kinds of nagging questions that one gets (I don't know about you, but I start overthinking at about my 6th hour in....)
Anyway, here goes:
1. See the Joint Commission list of dangerous abbreviatinos here: http://www.jointcommission.org/PatientSafety/DoNotUseList
I didn't realize cc was on there as a "don't do" until I got one when I changed jobs!
And no apostrophe with capped abbreviations, so it's WBCs.
2. q.p.m., I believe.
4. not capped.
5. no hyphen for "non" and other common prefixes. Use good current dictionary as a guide.
6. No comma
7. no colon in military time
8. Unless facility prefers otherwise, lowercase generic and cap brand. No shortcuts, I'm afraid, other than perhaps a good spellchecker or expander.
Hope that helps. Like I said, an AAMT Book of Style is helpful in these kinds of things, though obviously facility preferences take precedence.

Is huffing fermented poop the next new street drug?
Filed under Offbeat, Stuff I Like
There’s been articles floating around on the internet warning about a new street drug called Jenkem. The latest “informational bulletin” from a Sheriff’s office in Collier County, Florida was posted on The Smoking Gun website. Apparently, Jenkem is fermented urine and fecal matter and when inhaled, the concentrated methane supposedly gives off a powerful high.
I checked it out at snopes.com and found this LINK. However, the actual veracity of this story is still considered “undetermined” and a link to a BBC news article was provided. Supposedly, this started with the street kids in Zambia as a cheap way of getting high. The story is too disturbing and too disgusting to go into detail here, so click away at the link at your own risk and not if you plan on eating anytime soon.
The DEA would have a hell of a time regulating something like poop. Moms like me could be the newest victims of this new drug. Who needs a crack pipe when we have a diaper genie we could plaster our face against and inhale it hallucinogenic contents?

Hi. I do quite a bit of OP notes with lots of deliveries and surgeries for OB/GYN. I do agree with the previous post that those books would be extremely helpful, but I totally understand being strapped for cash (single mom with three kids here). I thought this website might offer you some help until things start to get a little better for you. You will find links here for just about everything.
I hope this helps. Good luck with everything and congratulations on your upcoming wedding

I thought I was losing my mind when I heard "beetle nuts." Now that I have this information, I'm writing it down for future reference.

Website for transcription
Subject: Website for transcription
Does anyone remember a website (something "Hazel"?) that had phrases that might be used in transcription? I transcribe for a doc that uses a lot of phrases such as "tincture of time," and since he's sometimes hard to understand, I thought this website might help me. There were other topics at this website like a list of slang words that might be used in patient records. I've used Google, but can't seem to find it. I went to that website a very long time ago, so it may not even still exist.
I'm a bit ashamed to admit that in my 40+ years of life and 23+ years of transcribing, I had never heard the phrase "tincture of time", or some of the other phrases this doctor uses!
Thanks!
