Wow, thank you. Just years, years and more years of experience
Subject: Wow, thank you. Just years, years and more years of experience
and a constant thirst for learning something new everyday. As we all know this can get to be somewhat boring, but learning from what I transcribe as well as from other transcriptionists keeps me going (money is not bad either). It becomes a challenge. But I can't thank you enough for the kind words.

Will get EMGs. The patient has evidence of s/l palmarthrorheumatosis. He runs it together, so it may be palm (or palmar) arthrorheumatosis.
Any help is appreciated. :)

experience is, it lacks credibility especiall when you base it on YOUR experience. Who are you? How much experience do you actually have? What kind of experience do you have? How many diabetic patients have you encountered in your years of experience?
You can't expect to make a sweeping generalization like "all diabetics have hypertension" and not get called out on it. Come on! Know your place. Arrogance is an unattactive personality trait.
I learned 27 years ago to use q.4h. (no spaces), past few years q.4 h. (see msg)
Subject: I learned 27 years ago to use q.4h. (no spaces), past few years q.4 h. (see msg)
Now some are saying it's q. 4h.?? UGH, YUCK!! I have also worked on accounts where it had to be "every 4 hours," and we had to spell out p.r.n. (as needed for). At least we got more characters.
First rule: It is all what the "client/account" wants, not always what the BOS says it is. I realize that language and its usage is constantly changing, but I've seen so many BOS and client flip-flops on so many other things in nearly 3 decades that it's laughable. What isn't laughable is when we get penalized for not knowing what they want, even when they, themselves, don't know or are wrong.
Oh, and I still prefer the old no spaces: q.4h., q.4-6h., q.12h., and so on.....

The standard now is to change cc to mL, but out of three accounts I work on, two want cc to stay as cc, and the other wants everything mL.

I work for a hospital doing transcription and when they switched us from hourly pay to productivity pay, I went from making a little over $14/hour to over $20 an hour! It's funny, we all thought it was going to be a bad thing to switch and our bosses kept saying we think you all will be happy, wait and see. They were right! I do have medical/dental insurance thru them also, it was never based on my productivity whether or not I have insurance or not.

I'm diabetic, have been in the hospital and I don't have high high blood pressure. In fact, I have low blood pressure. You need to stop spouting off things like you are all knowing. Sheesh, what a goomba*!!
*Forget all the rest of the meanings of goomba, this is what a goomba really is: a goon, a goof, a kook, or poser who doesn't physically resemble a goomba from Mario Bros. but acts just like one. You know a true goomba when you see one.

Really, so many times when people find answers to the questions that they post, they just say...'Never mind, found it,' which leaves a lot of us up in the air as to what the answer was! So thanks for sharing your solution!

Can't remember which is correct. The patient is 40 years old or the patient is 40 years'old?
40 years of old doesn't seem right. So I am leaning towards 40 years old. Started new job and my brains have gone out the window.
