Do you capitalize orthopedic test names?

Is it correct to capitalize every orthopedic test, such as, Anterior Drawers Test, Alar Ligament Test, etc. 


Thank you


 


The only ones I capitalize are --sm
the ones with person's names, like McMurray test, etc. I have never been asked to change that or had any problems with it. To me, it would take way too much time to capitalize every single test name, unless put into an expander. this is just my opinion.
Would you capitalize the name of a form the doc's use?
 
Is there a way to set Shorthand to capitalize
the first letter of each sentence? TIA.
Capitalize Power or Attorney or not?

I don't capitalize orthopedic tests themselves, but if there's

How do I get Word to capitalize a new sentence when it is after a number? TIA. nm
/
Would definitely capitalize "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" However,
happy holiday season is nondescript and would put in small case. 
Cardiac Clinic - no do not capitalize; Cardiology - yes as it is referred to as an entity. nm

Unless a facility name accompanies the phrases you hear/type, you should not capitalize.

ExtText by Dictaphone -- Word 2000 - won't capitalize when making a new paragraph or after lists?
Hi. I am new at a job. The Word 2000 running in ExtText (Dictaphone) will not capitalize at the beginning of a new paragraph (never had that happen before), nor after numbers in an automatic list, and sometimes even just after plain periods, not just periods used in numbers (like hemoglobin 7.5).

What is going on? It works fine in the Word version on my computer, but when it ties with ExtText, it "forgets" to capitalize. It is especially annoying with lists, and also at the first of paragraphs, I never had to babysit that before.

Any help? TX
When people use last names for first names.
You can't tell what sex the person is, and it just sounds so pretentious and stupid.

Hunter, Tyler, Taylor, Cameron, Morgan, Parker, Porter.

Really soap-operaish and annoying.

MT class

I am wondering about how much transcribing is expected to be done a day.  Number of reports, lines or maybe pages.  I only have my students two times a week for one hour at a time.  I don't want to give them too much or too little.  Thank you.


What a class act
I think your line "Shove it where the sun don't shine" says it all.  Medquist must be so proud to have you as an employee. 
class
If you are classified as a Statutory Employee you can use the deduction.  Be very careful.  Got to irs.gov pulldown menu self-employed......You don't have to guess.  You have to know the square footage of your dwelling, the square footage of the room you use as an office to get a % of what is used for work.  Add up all of the utilities, interest, mortage, and multiply the %.  That is your deduction.   Sch C is probably easier.  Home off deduction does you NO good if you have a NOL (net operating loss) from business earnings.
And then there is no class
NM
I also did this. One class from my BA.
I'm weighing my options and may go ahead towards a Master's degree but ultimately, I did so for the same reasons. In 5 years there are going to be so many MTs vying for fewer jobs that it will drive down wages and I'm not going there. So, I'll just learn to do something else.
You said it - in a word - class
The man just does his job (extremely well)and goes home to his family. No stupid hollywood publicity stunts, no games.
The class action against MQ by MTs should be about

forget about Ricca laws and tying it to hospitals and line counts.


They have lied and done smoke and mirrors to the point that there


probably could be a case made for that alone. 


And why do we never hear anything more about the SEC case?


And the FBI case against MQ for sending military information over


unsecured lines?


What happened to all that?


 


We met in a Flirting class!

Class action...
I was involved in several of these suits - most of them with Medquist - and the biggest check I ever got was $3.61.
Once was middle class.

I was going to agree with you at first, but....  There is always food on the table, bills are paid.  Have pretty much what I need, but as I get older I care about having a lot less.  Certainly not rich, neither of us will be able to retire any time soon, although had we planned better, we might have been able to.  So I guess that put's us sort of in the middle, huh?


Hardly. We will always have and need a middle class.
The middle class is supporting everyone. This is a socialistic society.

I work and make money to pay for my stuff.

I work and make money to pay for YOUR stuff.

Believe me, there is a need for a middle class in a society like this one. They're just apprehensive to use the "S" word because it sounds too much like *gasp* Communism!
Yes, we will always NEED a middle class,
but don't think it will ALWAYS be there....just look around you.... Maybe when the rich have to take care of the "working poor" we will see a turn-around, but then again maybe they'll just "forget" them.  Don't have much faith in this economy.  The poor are being ripped of any programs that existed just a few years ago.  By the time the "middle class" hits bottom, there will be no help, no kind of any social programs in existance, just the rich and poor.  Which will you be?  Yeah, yeah, I'm pessimistic, but also realistic. 
Sometimes - and taking a class
Maybe a computer class a little more advance than you are used to or a pick up one of the classes meant for LPNs or RNs (maybe just to sit in), a lecture from someone in the field, etc.
Class of 2006
Who said 0.00 because its just a high school graduation?  My middle son just graduated this year and we did give him a huge graduation party with a buffet, cake, ice cream, balloons, napkins imprinted with his name and "Class of 2006" on them, etc.  We did the party here in our home on a Sunday afternoon and invited family, close friends and a few teachers he had kept in touch with through the years.  Yes, it was his job to earn the diploma and such was expected of him; however, the party was our reward to him for a job well done.  He did receive lots of gifts -- some were money, some were things for college, etc.  The monetary gifts ranged from $5 to $200.  My son was just as grateful for the $5 gifts as he was for the $200 (grandparents).  He also received only cards from a few people who attended, and he was still grateful for their sharing his special day.  One of the gifts he was most excited about was a gift card to a bookstore.  He spent a couple of hours wandering around trying to decide what books he wanted to purchase.  Another gift he cherishes to this day is "A Book of Prayers for the Graduate."  Don't give more than you can afford.  If a card is the best one can do, then its enough because they're acknowledging an accomplishment and milestone in a young adult's life.
Me too and I have to take a math class, but I need to do something else, sm
cant outsource eating LOL
maybe not "back to school", but maybe a class or something sm
like a training/refresher course! Sheesh, I was just askin'!
It is not a class action suit as of yet
It is not certified class action because MQ filed for the proceedings to be held in NJ with all the other law suits. Therefore, this is stalling the certification of the suit to class action. They have received numerous calls over the checks.

Of course they cannot offer legal advise as they are not representing all MQ MTs as of yet, it is still the original 3 that filed, but I don't think it would be wise to cash it. That is just me. I know there are those that will disagree and call me names, but thats my two cents.
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?
Am I lost - is this English class
Excuse me, Miss Smarty Pants - but this is NOT English class - go teach English somewhere else if you such strong desire!
Good for you. You've got class.
That is a lesson you're passing on to your kids. I don't blame you for being upset, but you should be pround of yourself for not asking for a handout.
Well by the looks of the class of people who have entered this
I think the majority of them actually are of an unskilled factory worker caliber. You see people on here with no respect for education and who resent others who do have degrees, you see people on here who are often at the doors of destitution and can't think outside the box to improve their quality of life, you see people living with relatives because they can't even afford a home of their own be it rented or owned, you see people on here who are bragging about their husbands making 10 dollars an hour as if that's really good money. Scary what's happened to the MT world. This used to be a respectable job, but not any more. It started going downhill when we left the hospitals and started working at home, which was good for us from a convenience standpoint, but it made a lot of people let themselves go physically since they didn't have to leave the house, it started attracting the socially inept because they didn't want to leave the house either, and the solitude of it all just made a lot of people miserable and angry. No thanks.

Back to school for me!
aerobics class 3x a week
gets me out of the house and mix with other people which helps, too.
I was in a class action suit once & got $600

A friend says to you, "I'm going to take the MT class to become an MT in 4 months."

A friend with children who wants to work at home, never typed a day in her life.


Share it with the rest of the class!

Agree that Linda was a class act, but...

She wasn't from that Eastman family. 


Look at it this way, he will probably need it for more than 1 class eventually; or my daughter
needed Word which at the time I did not have, so our alternative was for her to stay after school and use their computers as I could not afford the program then.
Convinced the middle class.

Thinking of challenging a class - sm

I have been in transcription for nearly 20 years but I'm back in school.  One of the classes I can challenge for the nursing program is Medical Terminology.  It has been years and years since I took the class and the credit is too old.  My options are taking it over or challenging.  I would prefer to challenge. 


My question is.......... does anyone know of a website where I can take a FREE practice medical terminology test? 


Thanks


I received an opt-out of a class action

lawsuit involving a certain MTSO and the other party involved (think it was formerly AAMT).  Anyway, since I won't get a dime even after having been ripped off all those years, I just threw it in the garbage.  AAMT, or whatever they call themselves now, plans on keeping ALL settlement monies for their greedy little selves.


When I worked for the MTSO there were rumors flying around about the 90 character line count that was then converted to 55 characters before going to the client.  The MTSO pocketed the rest.  Guess it really wasn't a rumor after all.  How sad. 


Maybe psych is just not her cup of tea! Maybe she should

try another speciality.   I think everyone has potential somewhere, somehow.  She just needs to find her "speciality" if you will.


Unless, she has been on other specialities and her QA score is still that low, then maybe she needs to find another career!


You have a tough job having to QA that - bless you!


Psych MT's
Are any of you Psychiatry only MTs - if so, who do you work for-are they hiring?
Help please with psych (sm)
Switching from WP to "Word," need quick answer on how to avoid automatic numbering as will be using Psych Dx with Axis I, Axis II, etc., how do I do this without numbers "popping up" all over the place? Also, is there a word list or med list for psychiatric only? I am testing for a new acct. in the morning and petrified. I am experienced in the field but don't want to appear like a dunce on my testing due to lack of knowledge of "Word". Don't know which version they are using either. Please answer on board or by e-mail and I shall be forever greatful. Praying.

psych 101
I've never met my dad, so I do not have a true model for measuring men against.  They totally confuse me.  I'm very independent and plan on pursuing my own goals.  I think coming across a great man would just be a bonus and not a necessity.  My most prominent relationship lasted almost a decade, and I remember him being really kind of cold and absent, and I was constantly vying for his attention.  If I come across a truly loving nurturing guy, it scares me and I push away alot.  I guess having a dad would have made me different, but I am what I am so its all I know.
Psych
We have not yet gotten to Psych reports in school. I am excited to though. I think I would be very interested in them. I take it they are not the money makers?
Psych
Imagine this, typing psych report and patient asked the difference between a cat and a dog?  Answer:  I don't know I have scr---ed them both.  I just about died.
