I have been told to type the dates out
Subject: I have been told to type the dates out

but I think each hospital/client has a preference. I am going to be doing a different account where I work and now they want the dates as 6/30/2006. Go figure. They are trying to make us all crazy.

Are you working on your own or for a company? I would find out what the preference is if it is a company.

Agree with you on that one. I have type V.A.C. and I was told VAC.
Subject: Agree with you on that one. I have type V.A.C. and I was told VAC.

I find V.A.C. in Vera Pyle Medical Terminology and VAC in Surgical Word Book. If you ask me, they both are correct, but we need to go by what our particular accounts tell us. I believe we all work for different companies, hence different client profiles.

patient was told to F-off. How would you type that?

Subject: right...probably the infection that spread to the middle ear is bacterial, with purulent discharge, hence, odoriferous

is that the clinical picture presented in the patient's case? Did the PE include such ear discharge and the Assessment include Otitis media?

Questions and jobs
I place a lot of blame on the companies and hospitals that hire untrained transcriptionists because they think anyone can do it, so why not hire people who work cheaply. A lot of these MTs have no medical knowledge and no idea how to do any kind of research. I have known on-site hospital MTs who did not even have reference books, either provided by the hospital or their own. You can't blame the MTs in this situation completely as they are expected to do work without the knowledge or tools.
