I change elicitable (which to my knowledge has never been a "real word" to "able to be elicited." My doctor dictator thanked me for this once (I was suprised that he noticed). I checked this out with several transcripitionists that I have worked with who have lots of experience and are CMTs and they also edit this word to "able to be elicited."

He should point it out to his supervisor because it is wrong. I don't care what QA says unless they can show me a resource where they got their information and it checks out. I would also point out to the client this fact. If they don't want to have their transcription correct and concise then I don't want their work. Right is right, wrong is wrong. I am really strong on this especially since the "new AAMT" has made all their "changes" and believe their BOS is the bible. It is not. Many of their "rules" are correct. Many of the are not. Research some of their changes and you will see just how over the top they have gone (it seems to be a control issue and they WILL cram it down your throat). I say that we all research on our own and go to reliable trusted sources that have been proven over time to be correct. The "New AAMT" definitely has not proven itself over time and incidentally they are not there for Americans anymore, they are there for the "overseas community." Humbug on them! Anyone know who could take the place of AAMT for American transcriptionits? After all, we are all Americans here and the language is English.

Subject: I would change it to ൜ mEq K/L" sm
The dictator is "slanging" the order. Since what they're ordering is K (potassium) and that is measured in mEq, and since it has a unit of measurement (mEq), then the "/liter" needs to be abbreviated to /L... imho (wouldn't it be nice if they dictated PROPER medication orders?) :)
