If a doc dictates hemoblobin A1C, is it not correct to use HbA1c? Should it actually be written out? Also if "blood pressure" is dictated, is BP not acceptable?
I know the account probably has different specifics that I was not made aware of but I am just pulling my hair out now.

Thanks.

Again, I really appreciate it. I was so frustrated by the "not a mind reader" comment. I'm quite an experienced, long-time MT but every once in awhile we hear something we're not familiar with. I felt her attitude was uncalled for and rude and quite condescending.

It's the people on here like you and Becky and MDmt, etc. who make it worthwhile to keep coming back to this forum though !

by QA on one account, because she had addressed this before with the company and account, pussy would be changed to pus-like when dictated. But, I would check with your account specs or manager, as they may not want anything changed at all. Per Bos, page 340, adjective is pus-like, i.e., The wound was filled with pus-like fluid. HTH.

But my Stedman's disagreed (LOL) . . . intertrigonal is what netscape said "did you mean . . ." when I googled, and I actually went with intertriginous, which is what came up in the archives here when I asked the question, and Stedman's liked that too (although the PA did say "al" v. "ous".

Subject: 1 or 2 (I was told this during training)

I was told when I was training at one point WITH MedQuist (when I was still on full QA) to use the numbers 1 and 2 and not the Roman numerals. I hope that helps. It might very well be a matter of preference for the account you are working on, but I believe the numbers 1 and 2 are correct.

MET = maximum exercise tolerance.

Can't really document that at the moment, however...

Subject: I was told by my QA T-current and T-max,

but someone else may have a different opinion. If the account I am doing is not verbatim then I transcribe current temperature and maximum temperature because I consider those terms to be slang. Again, others may have different opinions but I haven't had any complaints.
