Medical Editor/Writer History Return to Iowa by Nanette in September 2001 after 10 years in California heralded the beginning of 14+ years as a remote medical transcriptionist and ASR editor for Spheris Corporation, then MedQuist, ending with acquisitions and mergers of these largest international medical transcription companies into M*Modal Corporation, which served major medical facilities and universities with almost immediate turn-around time.  From remote audio-server dictation, Nanette used court-reporter-type computer shorthand and automated speech recognition to provide professional medical transcription reports initially transcribing clinic reports, then mainly consultations at the university level, and finally as a university surgical specialist.     Beginning in March 2006, Nanette was first promoted to an advanced level to handle consultation reports for department heads at the University of Maryland Medical Center including the Greenebaum Cancer Center Hematology-Oncology Department (clinical trials and stem-cell transplantations), as well as the University Shock Trauma Center (orthopedics).  Also, included with equal relevance were the University Departments of Gastroenterology, Hepatology-Oncology, and the Neurosurgery/Gamma Knife Radiosurgery Department along with the Department of Urology, the Department of Nephrology, and the Joslin Diabetes Center.  In 2007, Nanette received promotion as a surgical specialist, as described above.

As mentioned below, her archived pieces routinely appeared as features on the Floss.com website. Feature Writer: Floss.com  Based in New York and dedicated to the dental consumer, Floss.com was a vanguard Internet web site that featured Nanette's "pop" byline articles with headline booking for over a year beginning in February 2000. Topics included articles on the dental orthodontic process, anesthesia and sedation, oral cancer concerns, choosing a dentist for children, the medical and dental points of view regarding osteoporosis, and aspects of dental fad and style.  To date, she maintains affiliation as a member of the editorial department on contract. (Archived articles have been regularly featured on the site, ie,"Is It Really Necessary To Have Perfectly Straight Teeth?").  Note:  A cohort on the project, Isadore Rosenfeld, MD, appeared weekly on his television program, "Sunday House Calls" for Fox Cable News Network and served as Floss.com's Chief Medical Director. Dr. Rosenfeld is also known for his feature segments for "Parade" magazine syndicated in major Sunday newspapers throughout the nation. Copyeditor: Audio-Digest Foundation Audio-Digest Foundation, an affiliate of the California Medical Association, produces audio tapes and CDs for continuing medical education (CME) in 13 practice specialties to physicians throughout the United States and around the world. From lectures by physician speakers, editors are assigned individual specialties to write paraphrased summaries from taped accounts. Functioning in the copyeditor position from 2000 to 2001, Nanette edited substantive and proofing changes for each written program summary using AMA Style protocol for 10 editors incorporating all practice specialties. Summaries and questions devised for CME credit required verification of medical and technical data along with medical referencing research and routine spelling, grammar, and construction. The entire written program was put through a 3-stage copyediting process along with confirmation and research for listed drugs. Lymphoma/Leukemia Analyst: Impath Laboratories, Inc Impath, Inc. (now Genzyme Corporation) is a Fortune 500 Company serving as both an oncology laboratory and a unique cancer information center that spans 3 facility locations and which limits laboratory analysis to cancer, alone. Hematology reporters for Impath create diagnostic records from highly individual and specific tests interpreted by a team of oncologic pathologists. Beginning in 2001 as a liaison to bridge medical editing with transcription, Nanette performed test resulting for Impath and transcription including, (1) cytogenetic analysis and molecular cytogenetics via FISH, PCR, flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry for lymphoma/leukemia, myeloproliferative disorders, myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic lymphoproliferative disorders, plasma cell dyscrasias, Hodgkin’s disease, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, bone-marrow-transplant engraftment and monitoring, translocation probes, and minimal residual disease detection, (2) tumor analysis by immunohistochemistry, (3) breast cancer therapeutic analysis, (4) prostate, bladder, colon, trophoblastic disease, and other neoplasms.  Compilation of these results involved direct dictation by pathologists. Essential was an ability to organize informational work flow to meet critical deadlines for acute cases and for overall minimum turn-around time.       Is It Really Necessary?
