My favorite and I still laugh over this, was the patient that came in with a double AA battery in the rectum. Mind you the patient was about 25. Doc snickered all the way through the report and told the patient never to put anything there again.

Love OP notes, which I could do them always. nm

I love doing OP notes
I love doing op notes. They are very difficult though and i do recommend that you go into them slowly if at all possible. I was doing strictly clinic notes when I came to work here, but lost a girl that did the Op notes and we decided to send our clinic notes out to someone else and I started doing OP notes and other types of dictations. They are my fav.
I love op notes.
I have very little experience in acute care (only about a year), but op notes are my favorite. I have applied to positions for op notes only, but of course, I don't have the experience to get the job. I find them to be much easier than other types of acute care reports since they are so repetitive. I loved the days I got a lot of op notes because I always got better line counts just because of how repetitive they are.
LOVE clinic notes
I do clinic work and I LOVE it. I transcribe for 3 docs. There are 4 girls on the acct. And we ALWAYS have work. When I am bored on Saturdays or Sundays, I sit down and type for a few hours. Rarely is the server empty by Monday morning. I have never been at a loss for work. It is so repetitive and easy. Each doctor has his own way of talking and I have tons of shortcuts for each doc in my autocorrect in Word. So easy, so fast, so fun!
I love 'em too but type everything else but and Progress notes (sm)
DOUBLE YUCK.
That's funny, I *love* ER's. Also Ops, procedure notes. Can't stand anything LONGGGGGGGG. n

Why do so many people LOVE operative notes? I see posts about it all the time...
how they make good money on them, they could do them all day, feel cheated when they don't get them? I have been doing this for years and years and still kind of groan when I see them come up on my screen. Fill me on the secrets and maybe I won't whine so much when I do them. Thanks gal!
I just love it when our cat plops down on my note pads with my work notes....have to pull it all out

And you'll almost never get just Op notes. Probably get mixed acute care - op notes, discharge su

Love psych notes. HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE,
HATE ER notes.
love, love, love the show. hate american idol. this show is for real.
the only reason i entertained watching it was because of mark burnett and as usual he has such genious casting and editing. btw, don't know who anything about "metal" music but these performers make me like it. love marty and jd as performers. HATE JESSICA. susie is so nice and so emotional. it seems they all support each other and enjoy each others skills. regarding ty and bob marley, ty was excellent but he also lucked out on the song! bob marley was genious too and his music is very easy to listen to. i don't like 3/4 of what the others are given to sing but their performances make me love the music. dave navarro shines on this show, very gracious for the most part and letting the contestants down easy when they have to leave. he was great last night with brandon (?). sweet, sweet show. i am so impressed with everyone involved.
Yep that's it, 4000. Love, love love the zoom
But I feel like a dork typing...every time I try to type But it is coming out as Nut!
ER notes
Don't worry. It has been my experience being a Transcriptionist for a huge hospital that I loved the ER notes the most. They are really pretty much abbreviated H&P's and are sometimes the most interesting reports of all. Not nearly as difficult as some surgeries or discharges notes can be. Simple and brief and sometimes a really good story.
OP NOTES
I just started doing op notes at the hospital I work in and it is hard as there are so many different instruments they use that I have never even heard of. I use a surgical word book and Google a lot. That's about it.
To me, O.R. notes
 get really boring. I prefer discharges - just my personal opinion. Plus once I get used to them, I can go really fast.
Doc notes
I do two internal medicine Docs, SOAP notes only and minor procedures and love it I also did other specialities, but all that was lost to outsourcing to INDIA!
op notes
Operative notes. Perhaps as far a leap from clinic work as is possible. Not something for you to jump into with no experience.
Not op notes but
This site has brand names of surgical instruments. You can choose by speciality and manufacturer also.

Even for op notes? sm
I can see where being paid this way would have its advantages when doing DS and work types where there is a lot of paper shuffling, looking for values, etc., but I am concerned about op notes where the dictation is speedier.
OP notes
I love doing OP notes. They are so interesting. Anyway there is a website that I use now and then and it is
www.mt911.com it also has samples.com on it and has alot of different samples.
Also a good reference book is The surgical word book by Saunders.
Hope this helps.
OP notes
I only type OPs. I have done it for 8+years and LOVE IT. Its a niche that is hard for companies to fill, it seems. I would say it would be a great move on your part. Good luck!
Op notes
At my current company, op notes are paid at 9 cents a line for over a year experience. At my previous company, op notes were paid the same as any other type of report; cpl was based on difficulty of the account and ranged from 7.5 to 10 cpl, with op notes being paid the same as other basic 4 reports.
OP notes
If you already work for a service, maybe they have OP accounts. I would tell them you would like to learn. Ask if they could assign you a few each day and have them go to QA for feedback.
I would also buy a few surgical reference books. I feel the books are much easier to use than Google because so many instruments, brand names, etc, sound alike.
Good luck. I love my OP accounts.
RE: OP notes
Some people like OPs and some people like DS. I like DS. They talk too fast on OPs. If you can get them down, they say about the same thing. You can put that in your shortcuts and make more money just by popping it in there.
OP notes
Any good sites for OP notes?
thanks Lori
Op notes
Does anybody have any tips on the best places to specialize in op notes? I need a place where I can do heavy volume ops -- not interested in basic 4 stuff.
Thanks.
me too as far as the notes and sm
standard phrases for certain docs go. It was nice when the docs would come in and talk too or even fuss sometimes! haha Most MTs knew how to come back at them and didn't take a whole lot off them and didn't have to. They respected us (at least most of them) for that. I think there are actually docs now that don't even realize there is a "person" behind all of this doing MT. NEver thought I would see this profession get like this taht's for sure.
And probably her notes look like
I love it too - love doing my nails 5 hours a day and staying awake
Love NOT getting paid while sitting doing my nails too. It's a real turn on.
I tell all my friends to try it -- sit in front of your computer while you have no money to pay your rent and instead do your nails, you get a real buzz down in the pit of your stomach.
Also LOVE LOVE ESCRIPTION and make good money but...
Can I ask how you sit there for 8 hours. Lately, I'm having a motivation problem. When I focus, I can rack up the lines, but lately, I get so easily distracted. My mind wanders and I struggle to get my lines. Any tips on how you stay productive who do you work for?? I work for Transcend.
Op notes do fit in expander (nm)

Thanks,

Lotus Notes
Has anyone used lotus notes to transcribe in? Any info appreciate. Please email me if you like. Thanks!
I think clinic/ ER notes sm
would be a good place to start, either working as an IC/employee for a national or getting your own accounts.
Good luck!
yeah, I have all that already, that is the notes - sm
I refer to. If I have to I will re-piece it all together based on his info. and my own notations. First have to get the computer operational again, one step at a time.
cut apart chart notes
Told you I was an old timer. I print on sticky paper so that they can stick the chart note into the chart one after another on a piece of paper. It is an 8.5 x 11 label. I print sometimes up to 3 to 4 patients on one sheet as I can and I cut apart the different patient chart notes so the gals in the office don't have to do them and they can be filed right onto the charts. Just an extra service I provide. Takes me 5 minutes to do about 20 pages for all my accounts.
Endo Op notes....sm
I just started a new account for Endo op notes. Does anyone know of any good website that I can use for reference? Thanks.
Do you get more LPH with clinic notes or Ops? nm

only clinic notes can have
an actual name in a report. hospital reports should never have an actual name but instead just have * the patient *. hipaa rules.
what are considered ops notes?
I currently type clinic reports but I would like a change. I was considering ops notes. I am not sure what it means when a company indicates Ops notes experience. 
Op notes are a blast (well for me they are fun!)
I love doing them personally. If you can find someone who is willing to let you kinda slowly wade in, it really is something you should try out. You have to be adept at using all of your resources, i.e. books and internet, and you should have a good grasp on basic anatomy. You really should have some sort of bonafide surgical word book at your fingertips as well. If you can give it a shot, I say go for it! It never hurts to learn something new
I think you will need some op notes experience for sure nm

Yes, it is clinic notes...sm
I also have an extensive list of Expanders that I wouldn't doubt was well over 20,000. I've been building it for the last 11 years working at home. I don't even type out the word with (wi).
I appreciate your response and the boost.
Maybe you put that you do SOAP notes and HR

What are SOAP notes?

Clinic notes
Mostly clinic notes from my experience:
S - subjective
O - objective
A - assessment
P - plan
soap notes
Yes that is correct they are chart or clinical notes. The dentist that I used to work for liked the charts written up in that fashion.
S- subjective
O- objective
A- assessment
P- plan
SOAP Notes
I may sound dumb, but what is a SOAP note??
