Legal question...sm [2007-06-01]
A friend of mine had a DC after suffering a miscarriage because she had an incomplete miscarriage at 10 weeks. After she did not get her period back with a couple of months she underwent testing by another doctorand ended up finding out that part of her uterus was removed. She talked to a couple of attorneys who only seem to want to try to get a high amount of money out of the doctor and hospital but my friend isn She and her husband are also upset that they were not told at the time of surgery or afterwards that there was a problem encountered.
Do you know of a resource to find out what a fair compensation would be for this mistake and the fact that the surgeon and hospital didn I have no idea where to point her to go. Thank you.
Legal Transcription Training [2007-05-18]
Can anyone recommend a reputable school for legal transcription training. I already have an assoc. degree in paralegal studies but haven Thanks.
legal transcription [2007-05-04]
http://www.speak-write.com/ is a company that utilizes general and legal typists. I worked for them at one point. It was nice because you could schedule yourself by the hour from week to week so if you wanted to work an hour in the morning and five in the evening you could do that. They were really flexible.

Legal Transcription [2007-04-19]
I have done legal transcription for five years in the past. It is much easier to me than medical transcription. Once you learn the legal terminology thaton the job. There are paralegal courses.
Legal transciption [2007-04-18]
Yeah, I've been wondering as well. How far apart are medical and legal transcription and court reporting/transcription? If you can do one, do the rest fall in place with a little training?
Legal Transcription [2007-01-19]
Yeah, that would be great. But I think it's pretty difficult to find legal work from home unless it's contract work only. If you don't need benefits and can exist on contract work only legal is great to do from home. If you don't need to work from home you can make great money working as a law office word processing operator. I'm training for MT just because I want to work from home and have some benefits.
Legal transcription [2006-12-24]
I am a medical Transcriptionist and have done legal work. I am transcribing something now that will be admitted to court. I sure hope Ialter my transcription.
Happy holidays and thanks for your input. A little nervous about this one as I'm doing it on a trust basis.

I obtained my AAS in Legal Transcription, but [2006-09-07]
As I only found jobs that were offering little pay and no benefits, so I never worked in this field. I ended up going back for medical transcription and have been doing that for the past 9 years. I am now going back for my RN degree. Anyways, I went to my local community college for two years if you are looking for a place to find education in this field. Good luck to you.

Legal question - privacy violation at work [2006-08-23]
I know there are HIPAA laws to protect patients, but what about employee privacy laws? If a manager discusses private issues about other employees while he/she knows another employee is working in the same room and can overhear, is there a law addressing that? Or an agency to report it to?

I'd like the names of a few decent schools to take courses. Is it hard to work at home like I do in MT? Are their nationals like MT? TIA!
Legal transcriptionist, too [2006-07-16]
I, too, am a legal Transcriptionist and started out in a very similar way. Worked for a law firm for a while and transcribed briefs and correspondence for the attorneys. Once my daughter was born I wanted to find something that I could do at home and started my transcription business. And I agree, it has been a long journey and I'm still trying to build up my client base 10 years later in order to make enough so that our family is not so dependant on my husband's income. My clients are varied and include insurance companies, state agencies, translators, authors, court reporters, attorneys, etc. The problem is that the work is not consistent so I must always be on the lookout for new opportunities. Anyone with any marketing ideas I would love to hear what is working for you.
I have long yearned for a legal transcription message board and even toyed with the idea of creating one myself if I had enough techno savvy because the medical field is flooded with message boards but the legal field really has nowhere to go to discuss issues that are unique to our chosen field of work. So THANK YOU for including this board on your website for us!
I see. If I was interested in becoming a legal transcriptionist, SM [2006-07-07]
how would I go about it, and if you don't mind, what company do you work for? TIA
legal tx [2006-07-07]
well since my journey was a long one, I couldn't really advise you re today's opportunities, i.e., schools, etc. I started out as a legal secretary. I work for myself, not for any company. As I said before, I mostly self contract to court reporters and/or other people who have clients (general or otherwise) that have transcription needs.
It is for legal transcriptionists. [2006-07-06]

The MTs initials . . . [2008-09-01]
You're ok. The MT's initials don't have to be there.
The MT is not legally responsible for the content of the document-the physician is. Once he signs it, he's responsible.
Mind you, I'm not a lawyer, but you can see from the BOS that the initials aren't required. If there was a legal requirement, you would have heard lots about it before now. There would be a whole chunk of the law section of HIM texts devoted to it--and there isn't. If you WERE responsible, you would have to sign the report in ink (or electronically), and you don't see MTs doing that.
Your initials can be removed. If you provide the electronic file for him to print, he can change anything he wants. You can't be held responsible for what ends up in the record if what ends up there can be changed.
I wonder if he thinks that he'll save money by not having to pay for the extra characters?
Another possibility is that he doesn't want anyone to know you did his transcription. He might feel he needs to keep his options open in terms of fiddling with reports later, perhaps when he's trying to bill a higher level of service, get a denied claim paid, or if he needs to cover up a bad outcome. If your initials are all over his records, an investigator might know right where to go for copies of originals and testimony as to what you transcribed. :)
Doctor wants my initials off document [2008-08-26]
I am not sure of the Legal ramifications if any to taking my initials off documents as requested by a physician. He is a relatively new account to me, and he is now requesting that I remove my initials. Before I answer him yes or no, I want to know if this is advisible to do. Please help!! Thank you very much!
I'm no expert, but the BOS [2008-08-26]
In the format section, under initials, It is common practice to include originator and Transcriptionist initials at the end of the report. When used, enter the initials.....
It appears to me because it says when used they don Again, I am no legal expert. As an MT, I'd rather have my initials on my work.

Legal transcription. Scoping and proofing. Any ideas what this would entail and what pay scale might be?
MT & court reporting are WORLDS apart [2007-05-23]
Having studied both court reporting and medical transcription, I can tell you that they are worlds apart. Court reporters learn 'machine shorthand' and by using this and their steno machine, they can 'type' 200+ wpm. They type in syllables and entire phrases or sentences, not by single characters as we do in MT.
Actually, people who edit for MT and court reporting actually have more closely related jobs. Check out www.scopists.com Some court reporters type in Real-Time, and the people who scope for them just basically clean up their work, fix missed strokes, etc. There are also people who 'translate'/type the machine shorthand, which is much more detailed and takes a lot more studying/schooling. Another site to check out is StenEd for resources and reference materials.
You could, of course, always apply to be a legal secretary and type in a law office. :D
HTH!

transcribing ver batim "F" word sm [2006-12-16]
Transcribing a legal document from dictated material. The dictator is using the F word bomb, not that often, but it is a part of his complaint about language used on him. Iexpletive used. If it's verbatim, I think I owe it to the client to get his word across. What do you think? I am going to ask the same question on the other board, although it will apply to general medical transcription. I have been told in this case I may use quotation marks. Anyone else been in this dilemma?

Employees like this make work so difficult [2006-11-05]
There was one in the office I left at the hospital. She made speculations about everyone. The worst was probably saying the MT lead was having memory problems and felt she had Alzheimer's. That in itself would be enough for me to bring legal action against someone. But, she only said it like, I am so worried that Sandy has Alzheimer's. She forgets everything. Needless to say, this particular woman wanted very much to be the lead as she needed an increase in pay badly. I have personally listened to her and knew she was doing the same thing to me with the others. The real hypocrisy of it all was she was a devote Christian with pictures of Jesus all around her cubicle. I never met such an evil woman.

I used to work in a hospital sm [2006-08-24]
a couple of years ago and there were a couple of instances of employees discussing private issues of other employees. Those employees were reported to HR by another employee who overhead the conversations,investigated and terminated. You may want to read your employee manual. It might state in there what to do. Manager or not, privacy is still privacy.
