Subject: Thanks for taking the time, but what I was looking for...

was when there are abnormalities in the CBC, the further studies that are typically performed (eg, iron, TIBC, ferritin, transferrin saturation, etc). Maybe these are too dependent on the lab performing the studies to have normals. I'm not certain.

Sorry it took so long to respond. I had it set to inform me of answers via e-mail; however, that little feature failed to work this time.

or stumbling over the word....could it possibly be "oblique" ?  (pronounced by the doc as "o-bleek" instead of "o-blike")


That's the only alternative knee view I can think of other than a sunrise view, but sunrise couldn't be mistaken for your sound-alike description at all. 


Hope that helps

Here's what I'd do for taking verbatim tests. sm
Subject: Here's what I'd do for taking verbatim tests. sm

First, ask the tester whether you should transcribe verbatim or strict verbatim and then do just that.

If instructed to transcribe verbatim, I would then add a note at the beginning of the test saying, "These reports were transcribed strict verbatim (whatever) as instructed. However, if these were dictations I would encounter on the job, I would flag such and such (and site the instance), change such and such to such and such, etc."

This would cover you both ways, showing that you followed their verbatim instructions but you also noted some discrepancies or grammar/punctuation things that needed to be fixed, etc.

If the companies you are testing for require 3 or more years' experience in medical records transcription, they really mean it. If you don't have this kind of experience, you are really doing yourself an injustice. From your questions below, I can see you're a newbie. I recommend your getting a job in a hospital or clinic where other MTs can give you the added instruction you need for this kind of work. It's the best advice I can give you.

Another point of advice: Research all the responses you get here for your questions. While intending to be helpful, some MTs do not provide the correct answers.

Then jot down all the words in a notebook you have to look up, all of them, with a bit of definition to go along with it. MT requires extensive research forEVER!

Good luck, Carrie!
