She's new. She's already stated that. She's trying to do a good job. I don't think the answer is to kick someone when they are down. She probably has received very resourceful information here as most are willing to help newbies. Give the girl a chance!  She's not asking a s/l or asking the board to take her test for her, she's just feeling a little frustrated.

break. Remember the old days when we were young and just getting started? I remember one time typing "fecal sac" instead of "thecal sac" and the doctor chewing my butt out. That made me feel just awful. I would never treat someone that way. The only way to learn is to ask questions and make mistakes.

are you transcribing or coding?
Subject: are you transcribing or coding?
If you are transcribing, the correct way is:
V code: Parent-child conflict.
Unless you are a certified coder, it would be wise to avoid inserting the actual code into the transcription as the MD/psychologist did not dictate it. The codes can change from year to year and you could enter the wrong code depending on the date of the service and which coding resource you are using.

I've come across a dictation that is talking about NIDDM. It sounds like he's saying "he was initially of sulfanuria and switched insulin in Puerto Rico". The other part is "He has never been on metformin or glybizone." Any suggestions??
