HALP! Medical Shorthand Advice???
Hi hello how's it going.
I've poked around and I've only seen a couple threads discussing which variant of short hand would be good for medical lingo. I've only seen threads that come close to my needs from 6 to 8 years ago.
I'm currently a pharmacy tech of 20 years so the abbreviations are fairly ingrained. I'm looking into switching to a Medical Assistant position which would mean going back to school. As you can already tell I'm terribly long winded. If seen the teeline might be the way to go but I am not totally sure. I am hoping to preserve the actual medical terms if possible because they are for me easier to read and would maintain medical accuracy which will supercede any and all needs for speed. An error can actually kill someone.
With this in mind, is teeline the best or would something else be better?
As another note, pharmacy sig codes are a small amount of the total amount of medical codes I will also now be learning... Which goes back to maintaining the medical codes as very important to me.
Sorry for the novel
typos are a feature not a fault
