I have to beg to differ with your last paragraph. I work for a small owned company and I am assigned all of the physical therapists, (speech and one OT is included in this group) and I have no problem making money in this field. As a matter of fact, I asked for part time but the way these PT's talk, I'm almost full time with my line count. I'm sorry you aren't having a good experience, maybe it's just not a properly run situation?

Clinic notes or physical therapy?
Hello,
Does anyone have suggestions for companies that hire for physical therapy or just general transcription/clinic work? I've tested at several companies and did not score high enough apparently to do acute care, even though I did not leave so many blanks, I thought. My problem was with the actual transcription; passed the other part of tests. Really discouraged right now. TIA--
do you mean part time or physical therapy. nm

Are there companies that hire for physical or occupational therapy?

Have you look into Respiratory Therapy? - SM
Yesterday I visit the website of what seems to be a very reputable Online University (located in CA) that offers a variety of degrees in many business and health care fields, including either a AAS or BS in Respiratory Therapy. It really caught my interest. It's hard work, just like getting a nursing degree -- but pay seems to be pretty good. You can start any time - no semesters, will refer you for financial/scholarship aid. All study and tests are done online with the exception of your clinicals, which have to be done in a local hospital, just like with the nursing degrees. I saw that the field also appealed to a lot of men, many of these were military service connected, others worked with advanced EMS after graduation. Seems like a bright light at the end of a dark (MT) tunnel - I'm just a few years short of retirement age - but what the heck - I don't want to retire in dead-end poverty in this MT h****. If you're interested, I'll give you the name of the college - I think it's the only one that gives a 2-year degree in RT - the others all require 4.

physical
Physical was done at my local hospital Occ-Med Dept. I did not need a drug test.
Physical??
 Certainly you jest! A physical to work at home??
physical
No you have to take an extensive physical, hearing test, eye exam, drug screen (of course), etc.
what do you mean no physical ?? -
I had to have a full physical, drug test, hearing test, background check, the works - and this was in October. I had to pay for the whole thing myself and then wait to get reimbursed! I no longer work there because I could not handle being on two/three accounts a day and trying to maintain 1200 lines was sooooo hard. I have always typed 1600-2000 lines/day and the switching of accounts made it near impossible to accomplish this goal.
physical
Obviously you did not read the entire sentence, I was responding to Ginny's question....... I said, No you have to take an extensive physical, hearing test, eye exam, drug screen (of course), etc. you have to take an extensive physical....................
A wax doll, a long straight pin, and a lock of hair - great therapy. nm

again, no physical requirement at diskriter
but hospital employees still have to have a physical, pretty extensive one too - - I used to be one but got out of that employee status, prefer the Diskriter employee status, believe you can get both there though whichever floats your boat
Yeah! I'm in better physical condition at 59 than
Chronological age: 59
Adjusted age for immaturity: 12
My better half in the union and he is required to have a physical by
the company doctor ever so often. I am sure his medical records have been reviewed. He also undergoes drug tested whenever the company feels the whim to have 1 done. He loves his job, I love his job. He makes excellent money. We have no fears, concerns, hesitations about the process his company decides on because they are on the safe side of the fence.
Nope, but if I remember correctly you have to do a physical and all that jazz wherever you are.
This was back in 2005 when Diskriter first landed the Florida hospital. I worked there and had to actually take a three page form to my doctor to fill out. I had to pay for my own urine drug screen and TB test administered for a local lab and provide the lab with a postage paid envelope to mail the results directly to the hospital in Florida.
I put up a fuss because I thought all that was a little much for a remote MT position, especially when you consider that I would probably never set foot inside the facility so who cared if I passed my physical and got a TB test?
The basic 4's are: history and physical, consultation, operations, discharge summaries. sm
Radiology is not one of them. Sorry, but I don't have an answer for the strictly radiology question.
