Vet ophthalmology

I currently work for this company, and I can tell you that it is the best MT experience that I have ever had. The 0.07/line is only for a short time. I can tell you with 100% certainty that the test given is NOT work that needs to be typed. That is the most rediculous thing I have ever heard. When it comes to the test, I think there are a few people out there who just couldn't cut it, so they have to make up lame excuses to make themselves feel better. As for the owner, I have never known of anyone to be more selfless or work harder since I have been in this field. There is a lot to learn in the beginning, but that is the case with any MT job. Remember, there are a lot of people that get into MT because they are lazy and think staying home doing as little as possible is a great fit for them. If you are not one of those people, I can assure you that this is a great company to work for!

ophthalmology
I absolutely love it.  Wish I could do it all day long.  There's a learning curve for the terms, just like everything else. I use Dictionary of Eye Terminology published by Triad, and I find everything I need in there.
Vet. Ophthalmology
There is a very nice lady named Ann/Anne who occasionally posts veterinary ophthalmology jobs right here on mtstars.com, so keep your eyes open for her post.  Just FYI.
If you do ophthalmology what are some

good resources for sample reports?  I have done phacos by the thousands, but now working on a teaching hospital and they do tons of eye surgeries.  The facility is severely backlogged and just said don't worry about blanks get us caught up and they have not provided any samples, any corrections.  I have Stedman's, but a lot of the doctors dictate so fast or don't enunciate.  I can't look something up if I can't hear them and I'm not familiar enough with the terminology to know what it might/should/could be.  


I have to leave blanks and I don't feel like I'm learning anything when I'm not getting any feedback and just continue to leave the same blanks.


Any help would be appreciated.

Ophthalmology - without a doubt!
I have always had a really hard time with ophthalmology - probably because I get it so rarely. 
Ophthalmology transcriptionists out there?

Any other MTs doing ophthalmology?  I'm working for docs who are on the east coast.  I get so FRUSTRATED because the reports are so short I feel like I'm starting and stopping all the time.  I've done 33 files today for a whopping 600-ish lines!  Great docs, easy to understand, mainly letters to the PCPs.  Most of my files are easily less than 3 minutes long and when I do get a long one, he can't make up his mind so I end up erasing and retyping, and STILL don't get a decent line count. 



Just looking for a sympathetic ear from another Ophth MT.  I feel like I'm in a different world than these other guys I read about on here! 


ophthalmology words
The Dictionary of Eye Terminology by Melvin Rubin, M. D. is a good book.
You can also try www.AAO.com.  (American Academy of Ophthalmology). I don't remember if you have to a member to get in.  Also just type in ophthalmology words in Google and see what comes up.  Sometimes you can find these books at a thrift store or goodwill. 
sorry I don't do eyes but it's ophthalmology...

Ophthalmology book
I started with ophthalmology 4 years ago and the only book I use is the Dictionary of Eye Terminology by Barbara Cassin. Great book - -
Very few are good with ophthalmology..
I imagine they are not able to get anyone with enough knowledge.


Very tricky - ophthalmology! But with a good
word book, and lots of practice, I've heard its really a nice specialty to transcribe!
Endocrine and Ophthalmology References

What are the best endocrinology & ophthalmology reference resources?  Websites, books, etc.


I'm having these added to my work pool of nephrology, gen/vasc surgery, & IM. Thanks for the help.
