You are not developing her research skills
Subject: You are not developing her research skills
Not to flame but how is she doing it "on her own" with a full critique done here in public. And I'll ask again, why isn't her QA helping her in the way they want her trained or giving her links to document her answers so she can research. One learns better when one does for themselves rather than being fed by the silver spoon.

Thanks everyone. This guy is a real trip. Never heard such horrible speaking skills!
Subject: Thanks everyone. This guy is a real trip. Never heard such horrible speaking skills!
If I'm not 'speaking' clearly it is because I've had to listen to this mush mouth, speed talker for the past 8 hours and am only about 3/4 done with my quota. I've never had so much trouble... even my ESL doctor makes better sense than this guy.
On a similar note, I copied and pasted a URL/Link & sent with my post, but it was absent from post.

Do you know how helpful that particular site is?! Well, I'm sure you do because you had it bookmarked....
Here's another question...If a dictator says leuks, do we type in leukocytes or leukocyte esterase? I have to follow AAMT BOS. I've gotten conflicting reports from a couple of QA people over the years, so I never really know what to go with and wind up typing leukocytes but curiosity is killin' me.
Thank you, Txczech...

I've bookmarked that site for future reference. Looks like a good one. Thanks for sharing!

Txczech - I just wanted to thank you for all the help
Subject: Txczech - I just wanted to thank you for all the help
you give to everyone on this board, but especially for always taking the time to provide links. I rarely come to ask for help, but I ALWAYS open up your responses and copy the links.....which, of course, makes it easier for me not to have to ask for help. I swear, through you I have learned so much and wanted you to know how appreciated you are for going that extra mile and providing the resources of your knowledge. You are a Godsend to all of us here and I know I speak for many when I say, "Thank you!"
Thanks Txczech. You are always so helpful.

Your QA needs to do some research. SM
It is and always has been Steri-Strips.
No, I know how to research, thank you.
Subject: No, I know how to research, thank you.
However, it's a verbatim account. When QA and the doctor send it back to me telling me to do what they say, I do it no matter what my reference book or spellchecker say. The physicians are the ones who are making up new words or combining things, not me.

I think this is related to the chemo but I'm not able to verify it. I think it is closer to mediport or metaport.

I think it is Breslow depth. This lady has a very strange accent, perhaps a southern drawl and on certain words it is hard to understand her!

But, how do you know the poster was speaking psychologically? Really they should've typed the entire sentence for us readers, JMO.
BTW, while I appreciate your post, FYI....and you might already know this....Wikipedia is edited by anyone and everyone online.....and I like Wikipedia a lot!!! but it's not a good site as a *reference*, JMO

Smiley or one of the other major helpers can help there. I'm a book person.
If you don't have the AAMT BOS (second edition), that would be the first place to start. It comes with a CD which makes it easier to look things up. I'm not crazy about the BOS as I feel it is rather clumsy, but it's compiled from the books (as well as several others) I'll mention later. These rules are adapted specifically for us MTs. If you come across a good deal on an American Medical Association Manual of Style, or the Chicago Manual of Style (I may have goofed up on the titles of these books as I have a cocker spaniel's head on my lap on the couch and can't get to my books without disturbing her), these are excellent resources. I once had a little paperback book that I carried around for years which was grammar and punctuation for writers. It was a handy little book. Maybe you could find something similar, compare it with BOS, and make notations in it.
Another way to keep brushed up is to read. Read good books. Read newspapers. Read the classics. Aside from having great stories, those great novels are wonderful sources of terms that do pop up here and there in our work. Keep in mind that our docs are highly educated, so we have to do our part to keep up. I have seen posts where MTs get stumped on regular English words and phrases, and it shows they don't read. When I was asked to staff my transcription department, I picked the readers. It made all the difference!
Bottom line: No matter how we feel about it, every MT needs his/her own copy of the BOS. The next runnerup is a good English dictionary (I prefer American Heritage, a collegiate version, as it delves deeper than just giving definitions). Of course, the big Dorland's or Stedman's for our medical terms.
You go, Girl! For 6 months, you are doing great!!
