In Reply to: Yes, but fibrosis is not cancer. What I answered - was true for her stated scenario.
Subject: this is incorrect info you are giving.....sm
most definitely the stages in Hep C are Roman numerals - ask any pathology department or lab department or any hepatologist.
Stage I is characterized by inflammation without the development of any scar tissue. Stage II features include inflammation with early scarring (fibrosis) in one zone (portal) of the liver. Stage III shows bridging of the fibrosis between adjacent portal tracts. Stage IV is cirrhosis (advanced scarring with loss of normal liver architecture). Stage of Disease Terminology Early stage, mild activity (1) Chronic Persistent Hepatitis C or Mild Chronic Active Hepatitis C Intermediate stage (II or III) Chronic Active Hepatitis C with Fibrosis Advanced stage (IV) Cirrhosis

I came back on to read this post because I had given out the info on Lidoderm and wanted to see if the other word had been found. Then I saw LYDERM.
I have been reading the posts above. This "Kathie" person, with the bubble blowing gum head picture, seems to be giving out incorrect information. Hope she is not a QA person.
Example such as Caldwell-Luc thinking that would be for caudal vater syndrome????Where would you get that from?
That is too much guessing going on. If you don't
know, do not answer. Simple as that.

incorrect answers and alot of people are complaining about it. read all the posts below concerning your *answers*. those answers are definitely not helping anyone and if anyone should be kicked off, it should be you. I am not trying to be *rude*, but I AM concerned about the correctness of your answers and how it may affect patient lives. I am not the only one seeing this either and it is not a personal thing. Read the posts below...all of them. Perhaps you will understand.

Subject: Could it be no giving way or weakness? sm
This is something my ortho docs dictate a lot, usually in a series, i.e., no giving way, weakness, swelling, patellar pain, etc.
It could also be as you have it - give-way or giving-away weakness, just depending on the doc.

Subject: Actually it is incorrect to
type protime, even when they dictate it. Set your expander to expand protime to prothrombin time because that is truly the correct way to type this on a medical report. That way when they undergo audit it will not come back to transcription who didn't type it with HIPAA correctness. I wish they would educate doctors to dictate things correctly in the first place to avoid all this, but I think even if they did the dictator would still dictate things the way he "thinks" in his head. It is hard to teach old dogs new tricks unless they are transcriptionists. If we don't learn new tricks they will replace us, right?
