Especially in the assessment, many times they will dictate an initial impression or assessment diagnosis and after full evaluation or upon discharge, it would change or be more defined. If a slash were shown, it could indicate that ALL of these conditions exist which may or may not be true. Lastly 'versus' is valid and should always be used, I have never had a slash dictated or shown in a psych diagnosis(been doing psych since 2002). In addition, depending on account specifics, usually the different AXIS I are shown on a separate line and even numbered such as--
AXIS I: 1. Bipolar disorder, NOS.
2. Schizo-affective disorder, bipolar type versus bipolar...
AXIS II: ...
Hope that helps!

This is how I do it. Don't you love when they dictate things like that? What is wrong with "better than 70% improvement" or improvement greater than 70%, or whatever. Sometimes I change things like that to make it clear and so they look like they have a grip on the English language.

Chest pain, r/o, percent in my view?
Subject: Chest pain, r/o, percent in my view?
I KNOW I'm not a doc, but this just isn't making sense to me. Is the doc REALLY saying "Chest pain, ruled out, negative percent in my view"? I'm thinking the 'percent in my view' is really some kind of procedure?
TIA for your help.

I keep getting this and I'd like opinions on this. Right after liver/spleen/abdominal exam, she says something that sounds like "go-ac" or "golac" negative. While I'd be inclined to put guaiac, she then does the GU/rectal exam and says heme negative stool. Wouldn't that be repeating herself? So, I'm wondering if anyone has any idea what it might be instead, or should I stick with guaiac? Thanks bunches!

Which is correct? What do you use?
Times 2 or x 2
Hi all... I have been told by two different places two different things. I can't decide who is right! Is it written times 2 or x 2? For example: The patient had surgery for corneal transplant x 2. Or... The patient had surgery for corneal transplant times 2.
Was my old place of work correct when they told me to type out the word "times"??
Thanks,

s/l outgoing times three
Subject: s/l outgoing times three
In the physical exam section, the first sentence the doctor says is:
"He is pleasant," then what sounds like "outgoing times three," then "in no acute distress." For a full sentence of what would read, "He is pleasant, outgoing x 3, in no acute distress."
Does that sound right? He says it so quickly that I really can't make it out. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever heard that before.
thanks!

I would have been less forthcoming...you know, I got my job on my own...she should as well. Did someone give you a job without your having earned it yourself? And how do you suppose she will keep it IF she gets it? Will she blame yourself for not knowing how to be an MT (just getting quick fix answers here without knowing how to research or having an understanding of what she is transcribing?) or will she blame this board for not helping her enough?
I can symphathize with being new...everyone started out as a newbie; however, I do not condone - nor has this board - answering job test questions. And if she had books as resources as she stated, her questions on this board discredit that statement.
