Here's one that I think is pretty complete

Yep, I'm a complete tool like that.

I thought as I aged I would grow cojones...the problem is, we moved up here and it's just so far away from friends and family, that when company does show up, planned or not, it is truly a blessing.  I am incredibly lonely up here, and as I work out of a home in a land where I don't know ANYONE except my immediate neighbors, friends have not been easy to make and, well, you can see why I have so many postings on this board. 


So, I guess I'll continue to treat people as I wish to be treated...with a big hug, a warm smile, and a "I'm so glad you were able to stop by"...and then stress out and drink black coffee laced with 1/4 pound of suger catching up on work while they sleep soundly.  I only got this one life, so I might as well try to squeeze everything into it with at least a calm and cool outer appearance    ;-)


 


EMR just means they are going to complete
EMR is electronic medical record, meaning it's all on the computer, without a paper record. Why does that eliminate the need for a transcriptionist?
Complete was of my time...
But I had entered a webpage trying to land accounts. No luck WSE! IMO. Good luck.
Wow, the complete series!! (sm)
You'll be busy for days!  I'd love it too, cause there are some I missed, but I figured I will rent one season at a time, or buy it if I can find a good price.  Never shopped on ebay before.  Happy viewing!!
Once you complete your training
you will have a an idea of what types of reports you have an affinity for. Some folks like acute care, others clinic work. There are those that adore radiology and detest long ops or sub-speciality consults that may require a lot of research and verification. Others feel just the opposite.

As far as software, I am not really sure what you mean. There are different requirements for different companies as far as platforms, etc. Every one has its pros and cons.
As for as reference materials, some folks like electronic references and some prefer books. Others use reliable web resources.

You will want to avoid any convoluted line counting methods to assure fair compensation and be aware of exactly what you do and don't get compensated for, but that kind of falls into the getting ripped off category.
Before he turned into a complete idiot.
I haven't seen any of his recent movies since he split with Nicole Kidman.  Of course, I saw "Days of Thunder" and "Far and Away".  Read the whole post, then try taking an English comprehension course.  Troll.
Here's one veggie family, complete
with grandkids now.  All 8 of us.  I have a Tofurkey and also an Unturkey in the freezer for Thanksgiving.  Also, my pet turkey Bubba just died last week of natural causes, he weighed about 50 pounds.  His wife, Bubette, is still alive and well.  I always gave them extra treats on Thansgiving.

I would think complete darkness would be a bad idea.
Funny you should mention this because last night my son walked into the living room and turned off the light while I was working. He said he wanted it off while watching TV.

At first I felt like I couldn't see anything. After a few minutes, my eyes adjusted, but I had to turn the light back on because the brightness of the monitor compared to the darkness of the rest of the room actually began to hurt my eyes.

I guess it doesn't bother some, but I would think it wouldn't be very good for your eyes over time.
I do believe the JC is only concerned with files being complete as in
up to date - not gramatically correct.


ASR isn't successful? Its like 100% a complete success! Are you kidding?

MQs speech rec technology is sweeping the industry. Just run a Google, dear poster, and get your facts even remotely straight before you post!  Radiology speech rec is a HUGE success, as well as their acute care. What planet have you been living on? It needed perfecting, and, well....Its nearly there! Post facts if you must - much better than completely false ignorant claims.


Well, some accounts call for complete sentences for all. sm

Other accounts call for no abbreviations, spell out everything.  So, if the account specifics call for it, the MT is to do it.  It is not always the MT or MTSO. 


 


No, I'm afraid I'm a complete and utter dork...

And the really dorky thing is - I graduated from hi school in 1976 - I'm not even IN the "60's generation." If loving the Beatles makes me a dork, then, well - just call me Captain Dork!


Peace out, dude.

You have to be joking. That lady is a complete basket case.

I tell a complete stranger my whole life history practically.
I'm suddenly realizing that I have isolated myself and that I have no real friends and the only adult conversation I have is with my DH.  While I love by DH dearly and he is my bestest friend, sometimes you need other conversations/relationships. 
Yes, sort of. He isn't fast, but he is very careful and complete and polite ...
which can save time in the long run, especially when I'm typing mammograms.
The both offer a pretty complete line, but I do like the Sted's. nm

That Escription is even close to accurate is complete and total

A big ole lie on the part of anyone who says it's great or that 500 lph is possible.  It's also possible that pigs can fly.

YES, your email has COMPLETE protection on this site. We have worked VERY hard to make sure
that e-mail addresses are protected.  Spheris did not glean your email address from this site.  In the meantime, if you enter your email address in the E-mail field, you can be emailed, but the sender cannot see your email address.  They have no idea WHAT your email address is.  ONLY if YOU reply to them will the sender then find out what it is.  If you have further questions, email me and we'll discuss it.
Bad sentence
But if could affect the hysterectomy as if she kept bleeding it could cause complications with the hysterectomy  i.e. transfusions, longer time, etc.  which also could be what he means -- who knows. 
Please sentence. TIA!
Cardiac catheterization showed mild coronary artery disease, osteocircumflex in the late mid right coronary artery 20% disease, normal LV function.  Does this sentence make sense? 
And they can't say a sentence without
Just to be cool - or kewl - or cool beans - whatever!
Need whole sentence.
The phrase high-resolution images is very common. Need more info before I can guess what else you are hearing.
YOU SAID IT ALL IN YOUR LAST SENTENCE...SM

They have to show something to justify their paycheck.  Remember, for lack of a better way to phrase it right now, they're actually paid to find fault.  If every MT turned in 100% perfect work (and you know they're not going to let that happen)...well, they'd just be out of a job.  So the nitpicking continues.  Turn in exemplary work, and they will find something wrong with it....do it their way, and tomorrow they'll like it better the way you had it the first time.  For that reason, I avoid them like the plague, since I'm off QA.  But recently I had occasion to e-mail QA regarding a STAT report I had sent in (required on the account for all STATs), stating only that it was a STAT report and that I had completed it.  I received a dolled-up e-mail correction of where she thought a hyphen should not have been placed (where it was specifically dictated, no less).  I e-mailed her back that this was not the reason I had contacted her in the first place...just to nitpick my work. 


When they first did this to me, I thought I was imaging things...but as other MTs came forward, I got even more angry.  All the (unpaid and unjustified) time I wasted on the back-and-forth nonsense that they were getting paid for, and all just so they could have something to show..see Ma, I'm earning my oats!


Also in your other sentence
Commas are confusing. Plus, we are trying to get through each report as quickly as we can. Often people tend to go more by sound/pause than by rule.

I think if we really look at it, the comma in your own sentence is not proper either: "I have been literally removing 10 or more commas in front of "with" every report, but only some MTs." - - I believe no comma is needed before the word but in this case since the remainder is not a complete sentence.
Um have you read any of your posts and the other posts? I think everyone DOES believe me..you

It helps if we know the whole sentence

Sentence -my 2 cents

She is a 66year-old white female who recently transferred to our practice with diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, hypertension and hyperlipidemia, who I refer to you at this time for further evaluation of anemia


 


She is a 66-year-old female who has recently transferred to our practice with diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism and hyyperlipidemia and is being referred to you at this time for further evaluation of anemia.


depends upon the sentence

This is only what I would do -

1.  use a semicolon to preceded "80%" ... or ...
2.  write out 80%:  Eighty percent

I think either one would be acceptable. But, again, a lot of it has to do with my own personal preference.


at your sentence structure
you're putting us on, right? "you must have look for cheaper transcritionist"????? Are you truly Indian or is someone pulling our legs?
1 space after sentence

I made the switch to 1 space after a sentence more than 15 years ago when I got my first computer and everything was justified. If you can't remember to do, you can make an adjustment in Word to do it automatically for you or just make a macro to do it for you. I have one account who insists on 2 spaces and I cannot remember to do that so I just transcribe as I normally do and then run a macro to change it. You can also do a search and replace. Put in  period space space and then replace with period space.


 


Barbara


1 space after sentence.
Yes I have to do that also. It took me a long time to get used to it, however, but after awhile, it felt very natural.
re-read the sentence

>>>He indicated that at the beginning of the year he complained of health problems recently but has gotten better."  C'mon doc, which one is it?????

Type this:  He indicated that at the beginning of the year he complained of health problems, BUT recently HE has gotten better.

What a difference two little words make.


Actually, when it starts a sentence
,
p.r.n. at the beginning of a sentence
P.r.n. is incorrect. The correct way to type this would be:
1. Ibuprofen p.r.n.
not
1. P.r.n. ibuprofen
sorry for my sentence fragment....sm
Bad MT, bad MT....*slaps self*.......LOL
the remainder of the sentence, though
sounds like your version is correct...more aggressive treatment, as in the steroid injection or surgery, as opposed to him pursuing treatment more agressiveLY...IMO, you're right!
I agree w/you. BUT, in your 1st sentence...sm
You should have the period *inside* your ending quotation mark, not outside of it. (My personal pet peeve.) I'm just saying...
I think mine was 1 sentence...

...when I left MQ. 


This is to let you know that ----- will be my last day of employment with MQ. 


I know my PS also knew why I was leaving and there was no need to elaborate further, like I would have liked to, and possibly blown up a bridge or two.  I got to tell everything to the person that conducted my exit interview, but what they did with that info, I have no idea.


Good luck!


Your last sentence is bizarre because
really I do not think has anything to do with anything. I fit the same profile, mother, gmother, the retirement bit but just don’t know where it plays into this picture? We were talking about a person wanting to do transcription and poster said not good speller.
Use perseverate in a sentence.
:)

I thought this was funny.

Doc dictates: "The patient perseverates. She was able to follow simple commands. She was able to name and repeat simple phrases and simple objects. The patient perseverates."

And then the doc adds: And if I said that before, I'm perseverating.
I have one who never ends his sentence
The whole body of the report is just one long run-on sentence, and I'm supposed to stop and start the sentences for him.
Your last sentence is correct. This is a JOB. - sm
I find it pretty hard to classify MT, in its current shabby state, as a 'career'.

If you look up the word 'career' in the dictionary, it usually describes some sort of FORWARD MOVEMENT within one's chosen path of employment - not the downwardly mobile wages and non-value as an employee that AHDI has so thoughtfully bestowed upon all of us. Somehow I don't see doggedly waiting at my computer for a tidbit-scrap of a job to be thrown at me, or trying to conduct a triage of my monthly living expenses, deciding which one I will skip this month in order to pay the others, as having a 'career'. This is just a 'job', and not a particularly lucrative one, at that.
