Anyone else having a hard time with the cardiovascular system section? I'm onto Section 4 (digestive & urinary) now but boy was it a beast for me. I'm also a Transcriptionist and have never liked (or found very challenging) the CV system (along with Orthopedics), but I found understanding all the intricate procedures, etc, in coding were a little bit overwhelming for me, lol. Anyone else feel the same here? I guess I'm just not trying to feel completely inadequate in the coding world, lol.
For teachers/working coders: Do you find yourselves just kind of naturally better at one specialty than others? I feel like CV is my Achilles heel. :-P
CV was difficult for me, too. Instructor advised to use diagrams of the heart, found in our books, at the beginning of 3301 section in CPT, at end of ICD-10 book, or on Inet. She went on to say that at work she keeps diagrams in front of her for the various systems and refers to them frequently.
