If so i bet they are a crappy MT. You have to KNOW anatomy to be good.
;P
Mostly anatomy
It helps to remember that most of what they dictate is anatomy, and those terms change a lot less than other terminology. However, an anatomical transcription blunder is probably the dumbest kind!
You have to know your anatomy very well, as it (sm)
takes you all over the body as you do Rad. reports. Plus it seems they are always getting new contrast media and imaging machines. BUT! The biggest problem with Radiology, and probably a good reason why they're always looking for Rad-MT's, is that it seems to be a royal pain-in-the-posterior department to work for. No matter what hospital you work for, they want everything YESTERDAY. Lots of crummy dictators, even when ESL is not an issue. They nit-pick about the tiniest differences (not even errors!) that occur in work from one MT to the next. They often change their minds about what they want on an almost-daily basis, and frequently don't bother to inform the MT company's supervisors of these changes. Then they see red when it isn't implemented immediately.
Finally, the reports are usually short, and not great for generating line counts. Some hospitals have different softward for Radiology than for the rest of their depts., and what I've encountered in the past has been ABYSALLY badly written and hard-to-use.
Needless to say, even with many, many years of Rad. experience, I gave it up and won't type it even if it does pay more. The headache of typing Rad. just isn't worth it.
Grey's Anatomy is the Best!!!
 LOVE IT!!!
Gray's Anatomy
I have not watched it yet, I did tape it. I will watch tonight. I understand, I am totally addicted to that show. I never want it to end!
Grey's Anatomy
I am completely obsessed with that show. I just can't believe they're putting it on tonight at the same time as 24! Sorry Jack Bauer, but I'll have to miss you tonight.
Grey's Anatomy
On July 6th, the show is supposed to start on Thursday nights. Anybody know if this will be reruns or new episodes? I thought that new episodes wouldn't come on until the fall. I love that show!!!!
Brush up on your anatomy
Radiology/diagnostic imaging is all about anatomy. If you're going to be transcribing CTs, MRIs, nuclear medicine studies, or PET CTs, go online and look up contrast material and radiopharmaceuticals. The most commonly used ones for CTs are Omnipaque and Visipaque, and gadolinium for MRIs, although they may give a brand name for gadolinium such as OptiRay or OptiMARK. There are dozens of radiopharmaceuticals, however. But it's unlikely they would test you on more than one nuclear medicine or PET study.
Good luck!
wikipedia for anatomy
Wikipedia has images and diagrams from Gray's Anatomy and links to related body parts.
Watching Grey's Anatomy and never
saw it before. I couldn't tell if they were daydreaming, going back or going forward. I missed a couple of seconds when the phone rang and the Asian girl who was pregnant is in the hospital and the doctor is cuddling her. Did she miscarry?
Grey's Anatomy last night
Was anyone else freaking out at the end of that show? I swear..I hate when I get so involved in a show like this. I am so into the Denny story line. I wish George would have rushed Izzie and stopped her. I can't believe she would do what she's doing.
Grey's Anatomy last week
I had set my VCR to tape Grey's Anatomy last Thursday b/c I thought they were starting a new season; however, my tape was full and it didn't tape! I was on the edge of my seat the last episode and didn't want to miss the first one this season. Somebody please tell me it was a rerun. If not, can anyone catch me up on what I missed????? Thanks a million!
I love Grey's Anatomy....sm
but have some questions about ER...I turned it on last week, just because Grey's was over and I wasn't quite ready to go to bed. When did Abby and Luca get back together and what happend to Carrie's limp? Haven't watched it in a very long time after being very loyal.
Have a great weekend, all!
I sure used his made up anatomy on a report tonight
"upper extremities are intact x4 with lower extremities intact x3" .lol just really trying to picture this patient :)
Grey's Anatomy Encore Tonight
Gray's Anatomy is having an encore tonight at 9:30 on ABC from Sunday's episode. Great since I think so many people missed all/part of it.

Well, if MTs knew their anatomy and physiology, it might help with stuipidity errors.
Too many MTs are just plain out idiots who think they know a word but don't.
Nuclear profusion test

give me a break!
Don't Forget to Watch Grey's Anatomy Tonight!!!!

Grey's anatomy finale recap comments
Denny died after his transplant, embolism. Alec was very kind and nice to Izzie afterward. Meredith and Derek had some steamy intimate moments at the end. Finn seems very taken with Meredith but it will probably do him no good. The prom part seemed rather far fetched. Burke and Christina were hand in hand near the end of show. His surgical ability will probably return, after all what would Grey's be without him?? George and the lady orthopod are becoming closer. Next season should be interesting indeed. This show is my very favorite series, also like ER but Grey's is better.
Must watch Grey's Anatomy and Boston Legal. sm
Stop whatever I am doing or get home in time to watch these two shows. Don't watch much other TV but these two and sports.
Waiting for Stanley Cup playoffs to start and then Football season!
Brush up on anatomy, so you can follow along with what they're talking about. NM

Either online or hardcopy anatomy reference, like Gray's. (nm)

Well I just finished watching Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy. How that for an evening. N

I love Grey's Anatomy - the only show I watch faithfully. Awesome!
Can't tell you how much I love that show. Every Sunday can't wait until it comes on!
Dr. Burke and the "asian" intern are lovers.
What is a good inexpensive small home printer.

Have always heard good things about X-Press

A good of thumb is 30%, that should cover everything.

How soft is the touch, is it a muffled sound (microsoft used to make a very soft touch keyboard.
You can't buy it anymore and I hate the clacky ones. I think a really soft one sounds muffled when you hit the key. Thanks

Good business book
Before I started many moons ago, I got some reading material regarding starting a business, went and saw an accountant for a consultation, called IRS and talked with them so I knew what I needed prior to doing this. Basically you need all recepits that pertain to your business that you use as a business write-off. Check with your city to see if you need a business license. But do some research and ask the "experts" as each one of is different and I don't want to give bad advice. So spend some money and time researching it.
good op note book
Can anybody give me advice as to a good op note book to buy. I am starting a new job and have never done op notes and would like any advice anyone can give me before I buy the wrong thing. Thank you:)
Good Op note book
Having done operative notes for over 15 years, I have found THE SURGICAL WORD BOOK by Claudia Tessier to be the best resource available. Make sure it is the third edition which just came out last year and is their newest version. It will help you tremendously.
Looking for a really good Neuromuscular book
Looking for something that has muscular dystrophy, ALS, tests, antibodies all sorts of stuff. I am currently typing for a neuromuscular clinic that deals with all sorts of things. Would like a good book for references so I don't have to keep skipping screens to Google all the time. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Need a good drug book
My friend and I need to buy a new up-to-date brand name and generic drug book. I need the opinion of some good ones to look at and maybe buy. Thanks
My view is that the book is realy good and --sm
I do find it very helfpul. A lot of the entries can also be found by using Help in Word though.
Tessier is not a very good reference book. I have one but
haven't used it in years. I would suggest getting a Stedman's. I believe they just had a new one come out either this year or last year. There is new equipment all the time, so an updated book would save you lots of time from searching on-line.
Just started podiatry, need good reference book.
.
Can anyone suggest a good, up to date abbreviation book? Thanks nm
nm
so is a good grammar book found at any bookstore or online--sm
for HALF the price and their guidelines do not change every six months in them. You know, you people hate AAMT because of them selling the american MT out and condoning outsourcing to China, but then you turn around and buy into their money grabbing scam of their BOS book, which changes its mind every six months just to make you buy another book. How blind!!
that s/b inexpensive
The Dorland's Cardiology Word Book is good, too. Might find books at half.com even if a few years

inexpensive produce
Out here in CA, there is a Mexican supermarket, Vallarata (not sure if spelling is accurate but it is close)..Anyway, they are all over Southern CA. The produce is so inexpensive, Im amazed. Ten pounds of potatoes for $1.00, three pounds of tomatoes for $1.00, five pounds of onions for $1.00, on and on. Also lots of other stuff in the store is inexpensive. Their produce is so fresh. If you live in the Southern CA area, check out this store. I go in there and walk out with bags of produce and breads, etc., for about $10.00. I even have seen two Indian doctors I used to work for at a nearby hospital, LOL, they were buying produce too.
Really inexpensive would be an HP Deskjet.
You can buy online or get one on sale at Staples or OfficeMax for under $90.
Gotta get the Stedman's Ortho & Rehab Words. Wheeless encylopedia is a good site to book

I use As-U-Type, and I love it. Very inexpensive, too...nm

One of my docs just went digital and it was very inexpensive.
He bought an Olympus WS110 digital recorder that just plugs into his computer to download the dictation. You can use digital signatures, send everything back and forth using e-mail without having to have an FTP site. You can also password protect documents in Word. His digital handheld was less than $75.00 and the sound quality is awesome. I use GearPlayer software with a computer foot pedal to play his files, type them in Word. I hope this helps.
Okay, these sound weird, but inexpensive and delicious!!!
I rememember having these as a kid when money was tight and I make them still for my family once in a while because we love them! All you need: Regular white bread. Ketchup (yes I know!). Thin sliced Swiss cheese. Garlic powder, oregano. To make: Very Lightly toast bread. Spread with thin layer of ketchup. Sprinkle on garlic powder and oregano (to your taste). Place 1-2 slices of Swiss cheese on top. Bake in toaster oven/or regular oven on low heat just until cheese begins to melt. They are really delicious and kids love them and have fun making them!
NOTE: Regarding the sticky above about inexpensive banner ads
I thought that some of you who sell art, crafts, or other items like candles, Avon, scrapbooking, etc. might like to jump on this opportunity. I had thought it would be an affordable opportunity for you to make some extra money with Christmas coming up. However, so far no one appears to be interested. Therefore, if I don't have at least 10 people interested by Nov. 20, I will scrap the idea.
