Advice for transcribing lens
Subject: Advice for transcribing lens

I am new and have an ophthalmology account. I am not having much trouble with the terms, but I'm unsure how to punctuate and/or format the lens prescriptions.  Does anyone know of a good website that explains this or provides examples?  Thanks!

only psych reference book I had. It was the old Stedman's one that had psych and neuro mixed together. HATED that book, LOL.

Not only is psych boring, but a lot of it is actually drug rehab, and those patients' problems are 95% self-inflicted out of pure foolishness.

Subject: hate to disappoint you but it was moi, Beavus

as no one else here seems to know how to do that.

I also wanted to see what would happen once posted, and you helped underscore my point. We can be good MTs or we can continue to be mediocre and then need to shut up about work going offshore. It is one thing to know when to use disc and when to use disk and another to give the client what they want, BUT to adopt an attitude of not knowing when it is proper to use these words, we diminished our value.

Try looking up articular d. in Stedman's Dictionary and see which d. it instructs you to use. If you use disc for ortho, you might be using the wrong one.

Again, give the client what it wants BUT please know the difference and when people ask questions here, do not enable them. Educate them. Know how to be a proper MT, even if your client asks you to transcribe improperly.

I hate Yellofin stirrups!
Subject: I hate Yellofin stirrups!

No matter how I transcribe it, QA feels it is incorrect, but Allen Medical shows Yellofin Elite Stirrups and has a Yellowfin stirrup O/R table for ordering and prices.  I'd been taught long ago that this was a commonly misunderstood term and often dictated incorrectly by doctors and that the correct term was Yellofins -- no matter how they said it.  This term is documented on another reputable MT site.  It was so much easier when I felt that was the correct term.  Arghhhh!
