Subject: I thought MPJ could apply to either carpal or tarsal... sm

In my abbreviations book metacarpophalangeal and metatarsophalangeal are both listed under MPJ. Like you, when they dictate MPJ and it needs to be expanded, I have both codes mcpj and mtpj to avoid an error.

have a productive day!

Tarsal makes sense, though pronator isn't part of it
Subject: Tarsal makes sense, though pronator isn't part of it

He could be just leaving out the "pronator" part. I wish you could hear this guy. If he were taking you out to a romantic candlelit dinner at an expensive restaurant, his accent would make you melt.  But as a dictator, he sucks. 
orthopedics--type of shoe--tarsal? Harstal? Harshall? Partial?
Subject: orthopedics--type of shoe--tarsal? Harstal? Harshall? Partial?

As you can see, I am really reaching for this one.  This is a type of shoe that is worn when someone has an ankle fracture. I'm thinking it could be "tarsal shoe" but then it almost sounds like "Harstel shoe" or something else entirely. I need an expert on shoe types and/or orthopedics to help me!

Subject: This has gotten me too many times...

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!

Subject: x 3 vs. times three

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,

Jen

I am sure it is "oriented x3" NM
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 did cut her a break, several times
Subject: I did cut her a break, several times

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.

Subject: I said "please" and "thank you" both times.

But I don't think it's rude or snotty to reiterate the original question.

What is rude and snotty is to interject when you have nothing to offer.

Some people DO care whether it's spelled right. And sometimes the references are wrong.

That's why we have the Word Help board.
