Vasovagal-Assonce?
Subject: Vasovagal-Assonce?

I have a doc dictating a patient having a vasovasal event while getting an injection. He went through a period of "assonce?" I have looked and looked, but can't figure out exactly what he is saying. Anyone know?


Thanks!


I think what doc is intending is that pt had a vasovagal episode, so IMO I would leave as dictated.

Neer response, near response?
Subject: Neer response, near response?

Hello all. 


Thanks in advance if you can help me.


I have a neurologist who says "near response" when referring to eyes.  Is it near?  Neer?  neer? 


Also, is there a Neer's test in orthopedics? 


I'm confused!!

fered syncope?
Subject: fered syncope?

He had his pacemaker checked  No chest pain or shortness of breath. No ferred syncope.


The doctor does stumble on this. Is there such a thing as referred syncope?


Pacemaker syncope
Subject: Pacemaker syncope

Pacemaker syncope due to "a runaway pacemaker firing" could be referred to as a "referred syncope."

Also...a pacemaker when inserted to treat syncope, fails to function, then the patient would have "recurrent syncope" due to pacemaker failure.

Neuro depressor syncope is right I think
Subject: Neuro depressor syncope is right I think

Per http://medicineworld.org/medicine/neurology/syncope.html it says that it is Neurogenic vasodepressor syncope, and I think that neuro depressor syncope may just be shortening the full term.

Also, the doctor then used the term vaso depressor syncope later on in the letter, which suggests to me that they might be both shortened versions of the same term.

Don't you just love these made-up words?! Medialmost, laboratorywise.

I would type medial most or medial-most (to make it a two-word adjective of the noun), as in medial-most position.

When they say "laboratorywise," etc., I change it to an appropriate caption, such as "Regarding laboratory data,"

Didn't want to stir up any trouble.
Thanks for the response.
Subject: Thanks for the response.

Thanks for the compliment. I am really dedicated to medical transcription. I really enjoy doing the work and find it very challenging. I graduated in June of 2005 and started my first job in October of 2005. I strive to do my best in everything. I just found out about this forum and MTstars about a week ago and I am so glad that I am able to talk to some experienced MTs. This forum is invaluable to a new MT.

So, all of the experienced MTs out there that contribute to this board you are all well appreciated. I hope that I will be able to have experience like you guys and be able to help other MTs out there that are just starting out.

Also, if you know if any new MTs that are still looking for that first job they should try Sten-Tel, Inc. They have an externship program for new MTs. That is where I work now.

Take care
Thanks for the response.
Subject: Thanks for the response.

I really appreciate your help and I did not think that I was doing anything "out of bounds."

Its good to see that there are experienced MTs out there like you that are willing to lend a "QA hand" once in a while.
