Trose, helping doesn't bother me and I did not mean to hurt your feelings. SM

I try to teach the way I was taught, to do research and learn to find things because answers are not always available or correct on the Internet, and this way, you are more self-reliant. Please excuse my tone in the last post. It was not meant to hurt you at all.

Hi, Trose sm
Subject: Hi, Trose sm

I was one of the rude ones a while ago. I was responding to someone who got on my case rudely about telling you how to find the answer instead of just telling the answer. I never meant to be rude to you. I don't respond well to people telling me how to respond to a question! Hope you are doing well. Just wanted to say hello.

I don't think ER MT is much of an abuser of this board and usually is quick to help, don't think she's a newbie that needs to have her hands slapped here, maybe doesn't do OPs regularly and needed ya know...a little help from your friends...

thanks
And it is quite obvious you dont have ANY patience...so why bother posting? sm
As a newbie I greatly appreciate anyone who is willing to give their time and knowledge to help me, or any newbie, out. What I dont understand is why people with no patience and an obvious knack for being rude come to these boards and post when clearly they have no intention of helping anyone.

Again, I thank all of the "oldies" who offer help and kindness to the "newbies".
For the most part, agree. I don't bother with the lazy-sounding questions, but there are some sm

very reasonable questions posted on this board.  No, I don't go to MTChat.  Why don't you just hang out there, and those of us who remember what it was like to be new at this can help our novice counterparts on this board.

MTs like you and NewbieMT who show a lot of promise.

To answer your questions, I majored in medical secretarial and got my AA in that. After that, it was tough finding a job with no experience, but I managed to get a great job at an ivy-league teaching hospital. I worked as a medical secretary in the outpatient department for 7 years and then decided I hated the "front line" with the phones, appointments, yelling patients, screaming doctors (and doing transcription as part of that job, too), that I branched off into transcription. So, in total, over 30 years. Even after all this time, I haven't forgotten how terrifying it was starting out, so I really feel for you guys.

This MT shows promise, and a little mentoring won't hurt any of you, so relax. She's doing a great job on her own, and working hard, too.

If you all worked in a hospital setting, you would get this kind of help, too. I did, and I won't ever forget the help I received and how much I learned.
Just a helping thought - if you go to google
Subject: Just a helping thought - if you go to google

and type in "99-m diagnostic" google will question you with "99m" and provide you with technetium 99m. Ta dah! Double check to see if it is capped or not by going to a reputable website (i.e., mfr or such). Just a hint for future searches.

Not sure if anyone has found this site or not, www.mt-stuff.com.  I stumbled upon it when looking up a word on Google and thought it might be helpful to some.  There are samples of reports in the directory section of the menu plus other links.  Might want to check it out.

by investing in some MT reference materials. It's much easier (and much, much faster) to look things up that way, and learn as you are researching. Also suggest your getting someone to mentor you 1 on 1. This job is tough enough!!
