help with transcription
Subject: help with transcription

I just can't make this one out. It sounds like the doc is saying: Abdomen gravid, with fundicide appropriate for dates. ??? Anyone know what he is talking about here? I've google it to death, with every variation of spelling. Much thanks in advance.
Website for transcription
Subject: Website for transcription

Does anyone remember a website (something "Hazel"?) that had phrases that might be used in transcription?  I transcribe for a doc that uses a lot of phrases such as "tincture of time," and since he's sometimes hard to understand, I thought this website might help me.  There were other topics at this website like a list of slang words that might be used in patient records.  I've used Google, but can't seem to find it.  I went to that website a very long time ago, so it may not even still exist. 


I'm a bit ashamed to admit that in my 40+ years of life and 23+ years of transcribing, I had never heard the phrase "tincture of time", or some of the other phrases this doctor uses! 


Thanks!

Also called "creative transcription"
Subject: Also called "creative transcription"

Or at least that's what one company I worked for called it when they did QA.  Expanding out things that don't necessarily have to be expanded out, or adding words that don't really need to be added, etc. I loved that term, "creative transcription"  Like we're writing a novel or something.

No time limits (usually) on transcription portion
Subject: No time limits (usually) on transcription portion

As far as posting test questions and waiting around for the answers, I would assume these questions were being asked about the transcription portion of the exam. Mind you, not all companies set a time limit for returning the transcription testing files to them. Tests I have taken in the past have been tough ones, as many as 4 parts, with testing time spanning a few days while waiting for the recruiter to grade each section.
*English grammar/punctuation skills. Pass this, you move on to the next.
*Medical terminology skills/medication uses/disease processes, etc. Pass this, advance again to the next.
*Transcription skills demonstrating all of the above plus your ear-ability. Pass this, whew...almost done with this testing stuff! On to the last step.
*Oral exam. Pass this, get an offer (hopefully for a lot more than 7 cpl considering ALL the testing you just passed). lol

Not all companies perform this kind of in-depth testing, but I think the ones that do are more interested in hiring an MT who will be able to taken off full QA within a day or two of being hired, as opposed to an MT that is not as familiar/experienced with this employ.
