Physical Therapy
I have a physical therapist interested in me doing his transcription. It is a small office, they only work about 3 days a week, and I was wondering what to charge him per line? I currently work for an eye dr. making .11 a line and a service for .09. I may have to travel once a week to pick up tapes?(hope not) Any feedback is appreciated.
What?! You are WRONG? Physical Therapy - more than that.
Pharmacy - WAAAAY more than that. In fact, I don't think ANY of those pay $12 to $18 an hour. You really should open your eyes and look around.
DH would be outpatient, and then physical therapy.
He has decided not to have surgery, at least not now. He would be out of work 3 weeks without short-term disability and only 1 week of sick pay, plus he says we can't afford surgery. While that is true, if you need it, you need it. I think he's as much scared as anything. The only surgery he has ever had was a vasectomy under a local and he refuses to take anything stronger than Tylenol. He isn't hurting now, no swelling, etc. so it isn't like he is in daily pain. I've tried to talk him into the surgery because we've met our deductibles and while it isn't that much we would have to start over with that, but I can't make him do it.
Physical Therapy Transcripiton
Hello! I'm looking for any of you that are experienced as Physical Therapy transcriptionists. Can anyone give me a head's up about transcribing in this specialty? I've done psychiatric for the past five years and am pretty sure I'll get this position I've applied for at a local clinic. Any support, resources, etc. would be fantastic!
Thanks in advance to all,
Terry
Have you considered Physical Therapy?
Or occupational therapy? There is a great need for it, it helps people, and you generally don't kill anyone (grin). While it takes a master's degree to be a physical therapist, the assistant is a 2-year degree.
I have an application in to the physical therapy program at my university, and I'm a little nervous because I'll be turning 50 my next birthday. On the plus side, I won't have children surreptitiously sticking the cat into a Ziplock bag while I'm trying to study this time.
Need some physical therapy websites
Just got a call for transcription for 2 physical medicine doctors and 5 physical therapist and they want me there tomorrow. I'm looking for some websites for terminology/word list/samples that I can review. Thanks. Wish me luck. This is a temp to hire position both onsite and at home. Sounds good to me.
Physical therapy website
Have been trying to find a good PT website. I Googled and did not find what I was looking for, which is a site that lists tests, like "cat and camel" and so forth.The sites I have found are not user friendly.
Please excuse my typo above - physical therapy

Physical therapy format needed...
I just started a new account which is typed in a form in Word. It is not very efficient. Can anyone suggest where I can find a basic format for transcribing physical therapy evaluations.
Thanks
Did he have blood work w/his job physical? Maybe they missed something. nm

Hey honey, you can work at home and no one will care about your physical appearance. sm
I actually hired a girl one time who was overweight. She could not BELIEVE I would hire her. I told her I did not care if she weighed 1000 pounds, if she could do the work, she was okay by me.
Does anyone know of companies that hire for physical thearpy work? Many years experience.

Easy and love it.
I put a slab of cream cheese on a platter and pour chunky hot sauce over it and serve with crackers and sliced green onions. Yummy...
I love ER, easy for the most part, though - sm
it does take a bit getting used to. I used to hate it. I do trauma ER so it can get gruesome sometimes but for the most part they don't get very detailed. Sad sometimes, typing about dying or injured children can be a bit upsetting at times. I get mainly gunshot wounds and car accidents though. I only have 2 doctors (both ESL) that I actually make a decent wage with but that is because I do 2 notes in 1 as I have to do a billing note and a lot of time just have to copy and paste in the plan, easy money, 30 minutes is an easy 600 lines that I can do in 2-3 hours. The rest I do though are not as lucrative as they are either hard to understand or dictate slow believe it or not.
No...I actually love VR/ASR...easy on my hands

I love my Kodak Easy Share with
docker. Mine is only the 2.0 mega pixel but takes great pictures. I've used it to sell hundreds of items on ebay with great photos as well as for personal photos. The dock is awesome - just one click and your picture is loaded and ready for editing. I heartily recommend Kodak Easy Share digitial cameras.
It's great and easy to use. You'll love it! nm

Same here! Love it. No bells or whistles or categories. Easy! nm

Easy to work with. You can look up old reports. Your own word expander will work

Not easy work at all.
It would be interesting to go to India and see how they are set up. I bet they have a great support staff. I have read that physicians are actually transcribing or acting as information resource as they are paid well in this field comparatively speaking. This "take 'em out" attitude by some QA staff is something I have a feeling is not happening.
Well, I just know that I once felt passionate about this job and I do not anymore.
Easy work,
Can you tell me who you work for, I would love to get started, want to work from home, instead of having to go out to work, especially in this snow!! Am from Canada
Any info much appreciated, how do I know who is good, who isnt, ever heard of Medline Inc.., got email from them, what do u think....
Yes! Thank you. $28 a day is fine with me. Easy work.
***Hello***
Easy work, more like clinic, very low pay.

the work must be super easy (sm)
I've been doing this for a long time and that sounds high to me.
I use it where I work (not Iridium), very easy to use - sm
and what we do is type our report on MS word then paste in it, that way you can use whatever word Expander you want. I would not type in it because you cannot tab by using the tab, automatic lists won't work and do paste well in so I just do the list w/o numbers and format it in IKM as they have a function for that. If you do tab, you can sometimes by accident tab to save and it will save the report before you realize what happened and the report is gone, which is not good. Then you have to go into the chart and type it from there where you can only use your mouse to start and stop the player in the chart. I don't have to input any patient data, just open up the file, sound file loads, you use their player (need 9-pin foot pedal or a converter for USB to 9-pin). The only downside is you cannot change speed of the speaker which stinks, and it only rewinds or FF in 2 second increments and you have to hit the foot pedal each time, no holding it down to get it to do more than 2 seconds. --- lines come out about 1 more than they would if you take the character count and divide by 65, so that is good. We have a true 24 hour TAT, it shows in the work window the date and time it was dictated which makes juggling your work load a lot easier. I don't work in a pool, I have 3 doctors assigned to me so I only do their work. I can do 30 minutes of work in one hour of edit work and about 15-20 mins of straight typing if I don't goof off, have no interuptions and concentrate. I have used three other platforms and I like this one the best.
They put the complainers/cherrypickers on the easy work, the
8-9 cpl for Gross lines, easy work ....
Where? Where?
Durn I wish I knew how easy it could have been..I never would have taken this work hard next to
Yes - reputable company. Easy to work for. Pay on time always. nm

Actually, it is quite easy to skip jobs, and I work for a national. sm
Depending upon the account, just press the appropriate number on the C-phone, and *poof* you're at the next job. In my case, I have no "proof" per se, but when jobs skip from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. then to 1 p.m., etc., and then it gets back to "normal" when you get to the non-ESL docs where I guess they stopped working. it's not too hard to figure out that someone took what they wanted and left the rest. It doesn't matter to me. As has been stated, the MT who cherrypicks cheats himself/herself out of the chance to master everything and assure himself/herself of a larger pool of work. That goes also for those who limit themselves to only certain work types. Sure, we all have our preferences (I prefer admit notes and consults), but if you can do everything, then you're more likely not to be one of the ones coming here complaining of no work.
Just my opinion, and you know we all have one. Happy Friday the 13th! I have the weekend off for once, and it is actually beautiful weather here. Yippee! 
7 cpl gross and counts blank lines, IC status-- make a ton of money because it's easy work...nm

is he in therapy ?
He needs the help more than the girl for chosing to get himself involved with this. Please try to get him treatment; he must be either depressed or bipolar.
Have you considered therapy?

Has anyone tried cognitive therapy?
I've been in psychotherapy a couple of times for some very traumatic issues that have caused other issues, but the therapy is even more traumatic than the events I'm trying to recover from - does that make sense? From what I understand of cognitive therapy you don't rehash the past, but learn to go forward from today and that is what I'm looking for. The thing that concerns me most is that I've heard it is long-term, not just a few sessions or maybe it depends on the issues. My insurance won't cover much and the closest therapist is an hour away, so the price of gas is an issue too, but if it will help I'm willing to try it for a while.
Just curious to know if anyone else has tried it and their opinion of it.
you need therapy apparently
So you are telling me you don't think I have a great deal of experience because I've done this for 18 years???? I honestly don't know why I am stooping to your level but your nastiness is not warranted on here. How dare you and you know what YES, I have done this for 18 years so that pretty much does MAKE ME AN AUTHORITY!! I would go toe to toe with you ANYDAY! Now get off your soapbox and go harrass some other innocent person. You are exactly the kind of person a supervisor hates to have in their pool of transcriptionists and you are probably mad at me because I am an Editor and you can't cut the mustard as one. I would say you have a bad attitude because some editor at your job probably picks on your work daily. I see US MTs every day who don't even know how to spell English words much less medical ones. So just get off the nurse thing, nobody said she was going to work for your company or taking your job so just get over it. I also never said anywhere in any of my posts that she had the qualifications, I just asked a question......
is it B-max or D-max can someone help? this is radiation therapy

Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy
Check out this site for natural hormone replacement. www.womensinternational.com (There isn't anything international about this pharmacy - in Arizona). Anyway, you can learn about natural hormones here, get referrals and books and just some really good information.
p.s. I get my hormones through a naturopathic doc (ND), but some holistic docs (MD) give them out too.
Been in therapy and on antidepressants in the past
and ended up worse off than I was to start with, especially since my therapist told me that he didn't believe I had been sexually abused and that I was just seeking attention. What a slap in the face that was.
I'm just in a rut. This happens about every couple of years when life just seems to gang up on me.
We aren't a therapy group here.
 Some of you need to get off it!
hormone replacement therapy
I have been on Premarin 1.25 mg since my 20's (surgical induced menopause) and on 0.9 mg for the past few years, am 53 and have absolutely no menopausal symptoms and no side effects of any kind. It is worth it.
how about couples therapy? Sounds like they will use it.

I had thought about massage therapy...SM
I've been working in the office lately and the wellness department and employee health offer massages to employees and you can use payroll deduction to pay. It's something like $10 for a 15 minute chair massage and $30 for a 30 minute table massage. For the 15 minute massage, I could take a 15 minute break and run up and get a massage!
Maybe I'll give it a try. Maybe even worth a drive in once or twice a month for a massage when I'm back working at home!
Therapy for hands and wrists that keep me typing. sm
With a medium-weight rubber band around your fingers and thumb, stretch your fingers and thumb out as wide as you can against the rubber band. Bring fingers back in then stretch them out again, repeat 10 times 2 to 3 times a day.
If you maintain a daily schedule with this you will definitely feel a difference. Hope this helps!
forgot to mention the massage therapy is

I work PT and LOVE it!
I think what you may be looking for are actual experiences from people who have done this on a part-time basis, not as a full-time career. I'll tell you...it is very possible to do part-time to supplement your income, and it can be very enjoyable (and even somewhat rewarding) IF you find the right fit as far as specialty, employer, schedule, etc.
I started an on-line course about 4 years ago, it took me just under a year to finish it at a very casual pace, and I found a position as an IC when I was about half-way through the course. Over the past 3 years, I have applied with about 10 different companies and have received employment offers from the majority of them. I have a very good work ethic and track record, have never been a "job hopper," and it has paid off in this field, as this caliber of employee seems to be a rarity and it is therefore appreciated by employers.
I currently am working about 15 hours a week, make about $350 a week, and I love it. I won't lie, though, and tell you it was a piece of cake to get to this point. I had to work hard and "cheap" for the first year, but now I am so glad I did. It is actually very relaxing for me, and I look forward to working. However, I do not have a baby OR a full-time job. I have a husband who makes good money and supports the family and provides insurance and financial security. However, someday should I ever need or want to work full-time I at least have that option available.
I worked full-time (plus some) in a professional office for about 15 years, but after my first child was born I cut way back and have NEVER regretted it. My kids are now teens and pre-teens, and my time with them has been precious, to both me and to them. They are very well-adjusted, confident kids and have made me very proud.
Good luck with your decision, and I'd say "go for it." You seem like a very level-headed person with a lot of drive and ambition. Sorry about all the "negativity" on this board; you just have to learn to consider the source sometimes and read between the lines. It's really too bad, but there's no use fighting it; some people will just never be happy I guess.
Best wishes!
see what I mean? LOL ... physical not physician...

physical lines
If you are on DQS,the physical line (the line you see) in the text is not the 65-character line you are paid by. And the number of characters in that line can vary depending on how high/low you have your text zoom (smaller font would be more characters on a line and fewer with large font).
Your lines are calculated by dividing the amount of characters in a report by 65. It has nothing to do with the "line" you see on the report.
The best way to be sure DQS is counting your lines correctly is to import a report into a word processing program that counts characters, divide that amount by 65, and see if it matches your DQS count. I've done this and it is correct including spaces and the red headers.
Hope this is what you were asking and hope this helps :)
Did you get physical address??
Did you get the name of her company and the physical address? Phone number? There is a lesson to be learned here -- you still need to get all of this info in case something like this happens again. Unless you have a physical address you cannot send a demand letter with return receipt or serve her with papers or anything. Hopefully you do have that and can send her a written certified letter demanind payment within 10 days. Then onto small claims court. But none of this is possible without a physical address. Good luck. If you have her full name or business name and city -- you might be able to do a search to find a phone number. Did her check to you have a phone number on it? I always take a copy of the front of checks at least the first one so that I have their account number, etc. Also shows payment. Let us know how it comes out.
I would love to proof your work and see how that looks but I am sure you will tell us you are 100%.
