Forgot to include this
There is nifty piece of portable equipment called the Lynx Portable Back Stretcher. It is sold by the same company that makes/sells Teeter Hang Ups (an inversion table). The Lynx is amazing. It helps to open up disk spaces.
I forgot to include that in my post here.
I have already written my letter & in the beginning of it there is a brief outline & I included that & then I go on to talk about stuff in detail & I mention that in it as well. I hope you guys join me in doing this & can get some letters to me. I feel we can make a bigger impact if we all stick together & by sending a packet of a bunch of letters maybe our voices will be heard & something be done.
Stedman's phrase book vs. Medical Phrase Index? sm
I'm debating between the newest edition of the MPI versus the Stedman's phrase book. Have had experience with the MPI, but not the Stedman's one. Is Stedman's worth it?
No need for sarcasm.

You had enough caps in your post to indicate that you were unhappy, to say the least.


I believe I also said that I'm sorry to hear about your financial difficulty. That would include whatever circumstances have contributed to that situation. I don't believe anything I've said could be construed as condeming you or your situation. My point remains the same. My Best wishes to you and your family that this year will be a good one for you in both in health and prosperity.


Hint

Edited due to client information revealed. Administrator


Just a hint, it is NOT like that everywhere...I would be looking, but that's just me.
Good Luck
Maybe you should look up the definition of sarcasm. nm

Oh, so the doc and her stole it. that's MUCH better (**sarcasm**)

Hopefully your comment was sarcasm...
I think enough have died for U.S. lies...
LOL! Your sarcasm amuses me! :) nm

Super Hint
Unless you need a microphone attached, I would suggest Dictaphone earphones.  They hae excellent sound quality.  Also...if you have extra noise from your speakers, plug right into your PC and a lot of that noise will disappear.  That works with any headphones.

Can you give us a hint?

Hint, "othropedics"

Just a hint....people are not likely to
read your posts when you sign your name as 'nm'. On these boards that generally means 'no message' so people skip over them.
sounded like you were dripping with sarcasm nm

But that said. 


 


Sarcasm and hatred are 2 different things
That was NOT sarcasm
thank you for the sarcasm, obviously I meant dictate
xx
KT, is there any way you could give us a hint as to who this company is
If this company has a recruiter like this pushing and pushing to do interviews and hire people and then pulls out, I do not think any of us would want to work for that company for fear of what happened to you. I truly sympathize with what happened to you. Although I do not have kids, I too need to work just to pay bills, keep a roof over my head, etc. To work for a company like this would make me hesitant about job security.

I do hope you will consider maybe telling us who this was. I also want to say that I admire the fact that you didn't bash the company or the recruiter, unlike so many people on this board do.
another hint for loney this season

After your little one gets off to school, head for the nearest Mc'D's or Burger King..lot's of nice working guys stop in for breakfast on a regular basis. 


My sister actually met her new hubby by doing this and he gathers with his buddies every morning.  He is an awsome guy and of course, working


Here's a hint. The post moves around.

I think we were all kidding! Sarcasm - dark humor...
nm
Here's a hint: Read the rest of the board.

MY posts were sarcasm. Don't blame me for every single post.

Nobody even knows what you're talking about with hatred.  I don't see any hateful posts here.


Yeah, the support you got is beautiful (can you hear the sarcasm?) - sm
A lot of suspicious people here, as I said 14 days is a bit quick to establish another woman, not impossible of course, but just unlikely. I hope you get it all worked out to your satisfaction though.
Can you give us a hint you work for? I'm sick of cherry pickers too
You just know they are giving you all the crap they dont want.
If they don't include spaces, don't do it.
You'll be making less money for more headache than you are now. I'd stick with what you've got and work on building your skills. Is there any way you could try both for a while to see which one you like better?
This thread does not include the other 90% of us

who struggle with bad dictators to make $300 a week.



It never hurts to include her even if she
doesn't come.  It is about not having regrets.  If you know that you always made an effort ...then in the end you will have peace about it.
Meant to include this one too

Subject: IT trouble



I have been having a problem with IT whereby when I enter a short such as "Fln" and then choose "Flonase", the expansion produced in the document comes out
"Flnase", although it is not misspelled in the glossary. This also happens
with phrase entries, though in neither case does it happen every time (i.e.
sometimes when I enter "Fln" and choose "Flonase", that is what is produced in
the document). Usually it seems that it loses a letter that I skip in entering
a short, as above, but an example of one that happened today a little
differently was when I entered "Aqa" and then chose "Answers questions
appropriately", the expansion produced came out "Aswers questions
appropriately", which I believe is the first time I have had it just drop the
letter and not have what I had typed as the next letter in place (i.e. would
have come out something like "Aqswers questions appropriately", since I had
actually typed the letter q).

Kristen suggested that I e-mail the custom glossary that I am currently using,
which is attached to this e-mail and titled "XXXX2", and I mentioned to her
also that I have created several glossaries for the various doctors for whom I
transcribe, and that the problem will happen when using any of them. I am
using Word 2000 and Windows XP. My telephone number is (XXX) XXX-XXXX, and I
appreciate any help you can offer.

Thank you,
Kim Xxxxxx



I would include....see inside

Specialties, Methods of receiving/returning the finished product.  Think about why you are in the field, and focus on those qualities, for example, if you really take pride in your work, then say so.  Think about your resume and focus on your experience.  I hope this is helpful!  Wish ya' luck!!! 


what does waiver include?
Just yesterday I asked at my doctor's office if when we sign the waiver giving "third parties" access to our medical records as needed to provide for our health care, would that also involve the transcription company of their choice.  No one had an answer for me, as they do their notes by hand.  BUT, they said they'd like to know and that that aspect of it had never occured to them.  They suggested I contact their main office and inform them of the dangers of offshoring if they decide to do it.  I intend to.  No way I'm signing my own records over to offshore when I'm trying to hold them here in the US!!!   Maybe they'd care; maybe not.  But at least I will have made an effort to inform them. 
Wow!! Did that include postage? nm

Help w/phrase

Very thick- Latin accent.  Under THROAT:  s/l Injected post-pharyngeal streaking.


makes no sense to me, any guesses?


TIA!


Sunny


new phrase
Yeah, I know you've heard the term "go postal". I think we can start using "going Sheila" or "going Kikki". I dunno, there are so many names she uses it would hard to pick a name. Seems like the name "Red" starting showing up today spouting the same anger this morning. Now it is Sheila. Such a shame.
I just add an *s* on the end of the phrase..
so I leave TWWI for the wound was irrigated, and make it TWWIS for the wounds were irrigated. They both come up on the advisory as you start typing, so I don't have to remember anything. I have found IT to be the most valuable thing I have ever come across in terms of productivity, simply because of the fact that I don't have to remember much at all. My system is if for example I have several 3-word phrases that start with the same letter, I just add an additional letter to the end, whatever the next letter in the last word is. For example I have CAD as coronary artery disease and CADI as carotid artery disease, and CADR as cleaned and dressed. Also I like that I don't have to worry about what they are named, because they don't expand with the space bar, so no worries of accidentally getting paroxysmal atrial tachychardia when I ony meant Pat.


Also, maybe it's because I play the piano but I don't find it that difficult to look from the screen to the advisory. I equate it to what I do with my eyes while I'm driving!! I also don't stress about typing things out..if I have to stop and think about an entry I probably don't use it enough to need an expansion for it anyway. I like the consistency of the *naming* part of IT, always the first letter of each word for the phrase, and I have gained a lot of speed by utilizing the word side too, I enter all of those big long single medical words (nonmedical ones too) and it's great only having to type 3-4 letters of a 12-13 letter word. Plus I enter drug names in one time and then I don't have to look up their spellings ever again. Didn't mean for this to be so long but as you can tell I am a huge IT fan. This program changed my life and doubled my income in the past year!!!
Does the class action include the DEP
platform? Somewhere, don't remember where now, I thought I read the class action was about the old platform MedRite and was for a certain range of years. Is there info out there that the class action pertains to DEP also?
No kidding. That would seem to include some pretty
nm
You will want to include information regarding the platform you are on, etc.
dd
It depends on what you include in that figure.
where you live, how many in your family and what you get for your money.
Rehab medicine will include PT, OT, sm
speech therapy, etc.
DocShuttle is 99, but that does not include waveplayer. sm
I just purchased DocShuttle and then had to purchase the Docshuttle waveplayer because it does not include the waveplayer, that is a separate purchase.
Yes, definitely include your templates in your counts. nm
xx
I would and I have. Include verification of the error. sm
I would suggest being very matter-of-fact about it, keep all emotion out of it, even you're really annoyed inside.
I think it should be changed to the basic 5, and include ERs (sm)

A lot of hospitals have their med rec dept MTs (or MTSO) do ERs, as well.  Those reports are usually sort of a combination H&P, OP (minor procedures) and/or DS--more detailed than clinic SOAPs. 


meant to include ebonics is used and accepted
in this town. The schools are 95% segregated in the town. Very old southern roots. They do not care for change. Teaching children to speak properly is considered taking away from their "heritage". Why we moved here? Not really sure. People are very nice though. You are in the minority if you can speak, write, or read properly. Also, it is 100 miles or so SW of Columbus, GA, 30 miles or so NE of Albany
I SO agree and some of the reasons this has happened include:
May I commend the poster for a very well-thought-out and thorough outline of the current state of affairs. You did an excellent job. Do not apologize for the length. It was necessary to be complete in your thoughts. You speak for all of the MTs in this regard.

It got me wondering about the following points:

1) Medical transcription company owners permitted the hospitals and doctors to dictate to them what they would be paid, instead of honoring the fee schedule of the MT owners and professionals. Are physicians told what they can charge per hour? No. They charge what they require. So do plumbers, housekeepers, etc. Years and years ago, the trend began where the transcription companies decided to accept what the hospitals would pay.

2) Hospitals and others have disrespected the medical transcription field. Someone allowed this to happen. Who would that be?

3) I do not see this sad state of affairs of this profession to be the fault of the working MTs at all.

4) Hospitals and clinics should be prohibited from sending work out of the country.

5) Medical transcription companies need to unite and charge an appropriate fee for their services, and likewise pass that increase on to the professional MTs performing the services.

I really think there needs to be a radical revolution of change.

What do you think?
help with english phrase
permitted to don and dos his TSLO, I know it means to put on and take off, but how do you spell it?  Thanks.
What is triggering is the phrase it must be
"voice to voice", not a recording playing over the line. There is no way to make it go away. Also, dialing into the same number day after day triggers the system on all plans, even if you are under 3000 minutes.
I would say the most used word or phrase
used on this board is

ME. ME. ME.
It will save the phrase but not
the bold, does not come out bolded.  What else can I do?
