Not sure if there is anything "more" you can do with DSs because they are all very
different, unless you get a few 'standard' DSs from the same docs (don't we LOVE those?). Also, there is usually a long list of meds in those reports.

Keep as many shortcuts as possible and make them long. And don't ever type PT/OR in long form- always keep those in your shortcut! :)

That's all the advice I can give. I've been doing DSs off and on for 9 years. I loved them in the beginning as that is what I learned on. Good luck! You will get faster and better with time. That's it.
And when you go to the tab that says "more"
You can also put a check mark on the "always on top" and then the player will be seen when you have a document open.
While I agree we are "more" than typists, sm

I can feel your frustration. If you really want to do this, don't give up. I don't know if the company still owing you a paycheck is a local or national, but there is nothing to stop you from contacting local doctors, etc. to find out if you can do their overflow work. The worst they can say is no thanks. Don't limit yourself to doctors, either - think outside the box to physical/sports medicine (repetition so can be good pay), chiropractors, insurance agencies/detective agencies, etc. The more you get your name out there the better your chances of getting a phone call. There will always be people who don't sign on to nationals, but it's up to YOU to find them.  Good luck and hope something happens for you soon.


Above should have read "more than" not "less than". NM

TMJ treatment
I have had TMJ for years. I had an appliance that I wore for years, and it helped, but was nothing permanent. I don't remember everything I did, but quite a few things. This year we started going to a chiropractor, and one of the things he has worked on is the TMJ issue. He uses some kind of a little tool on the jaw, gives it a click or two, which pushes on the bone at the joint, and this has helped more than anything I have done over the years. My daughter also has TMJ, and this very simple treatment has helped her, too. I don't know if all chiropractors do this or not. He isn't a go-in-and-have-your-back-adjusted-because-it-hurts kind of guy. We started out seeing him three times a week, and are now down to twice a week. He has helped all of us (hubby, daughter, grandson, too), and we consider him a big part of our health care. Knowing what I know now, I'd certainly opt for this very simple treatment before I did surgery, braces, appliances, etc.
QA Treatment
Well said MTheaded.
aggressive treatment sm
You are correct. I hope I never get that QA person!
I wish you the best of luck with your treatment.
I worked with a lady who underwent treatment for a lung mass and she worked up until she got too tired, but bounced back really well once the treatment was over.  She came back really strong.  There are so many new modalities to treat it.  As far as your work, I am wondering if you could try to do as much as possible and find someone in your area to assist when needed.  The reason I say this is because this will keep you sort of balanced.  You don't want to give up your clients because they will be support as well.  You may just want to mention it to someone you trust at the practice, and I think you'll be surprised at how supportive some offices can really be when you are dealing with these types of issues as an independent.   Take care and God Bless! 
Who is dishing out the bad treatment?
Sometimes I have to remind myself that those persons at these companies who treat/treated me badly are not the owners.  The recruiters, QA, trainers, account reps, supervisors, unpleasant person who answers the phone, etc., are usually employees as well.  Whenever I have experienced foul treatment at a company, it has come from these other employees.  Whenever I have actually had contact with an owner, they have generally been very nice and respectful.  Of course, I'm not referring here to pay rates and benefits, just attitude and respect. 
I hope you're OK and are looking into treatment.
I had a bit of a cancer scare myself about a month ago on top of losing my job the month before that. The doctor said I'll probably still need surgery but the condition isn't malignant. I'm getting rid of things left and right and trying to figure out what to do with my life now. I even gave up on two of my hobbies because I never have time for them. Well, you take care of yourself. {{{{hugs}}}}
she was in Mexico for treatment for cancer, BUT...
From what I heard on GMA a few days ago, the clinic she was in was deplorable. There was even an article about it on the Watchdog website, AND the man running the clinic was NOT a doctor. So, what does that say about the person or persons who took this woman there for treatment?
Just Finished Treatment for Sciatica

I was diagnosed with sciatica/piriformis syndrome about a month ago. My physiatrist sent me to physical therapy for Graston therapy and iontophoresis. I was to the point where I had to sleep in my recliner with a heating pad on my hip. Of course, this is the result of sitting for too long......a battle wound common to the medical transcriptionist.


The Graston therapy is pretty painful and you really wonder how it could possibly help. The iontophoresis consisted of a patch with two large circular pads connected by an electrode. The pads are soaked with dexamethasone. The patch is then stuck to the butt for 24 hours. It's painless, except I pulled off a couple of layers of skin when I removed them. I had this done about 5-6 different times over a three-week period. I was also taught some gentle stretches to stretch these muscles, which I haven't been too diligent about doing.


Bottom line is that I completed my PT about two weeks ago and I haven't had any pain since then. I hope you get some relief for your condition. I know how very painful it can be.


 


Why I deserve more money and better treatment as an MT...

I do NOT transcribe "medial sonoscopy."  


Good Lord.   


Symptomatic treatment is the only thing you can do, and watch for

It's Laetrile and it was supposedly used for cancer treatment

I'd give the kids the same treatment on their birthday....sm
that should get their attention!
Sounds like you are giving them star treatment!
Good job!
But be sure to drink lots of fluid after a treatment and...
you might get on a good calcium with magnesium supplement to aid in good healthy of your bones. My chiropractic treatments have decreased tremendously since I got on the drinkable kind! Good luck......there's enough pain in the MT world these days without pain in one's body, too!
i have telangiectasia on face. laser treatment - very painful...but works
what could be more unsightly that broken veins on the face? well, lucky me, i have them. eveyr few years go in for treatment. electrical zaps to destroy broken blood vessel. Hurts like the dickens though. Can't use pain relievers because it causes constriction of blood vessels, they told me.
Meant to say normal treatment for woman in Amish comnmunity. nm
