Does anyone do family practice?

I am loving the company I am working for. I am new to the field, and they have helped me so much to develop my skills. BUT I am currently only transcribing one specialty(rehab). I would like to get some practice in acute care, surgical reports, etc. I've seen several practice CDs on the net and ebay, and just wondered if any of them are worth it. I have zero experience in other specialties except for the little bit I did during training, and I just want t ...

After being at a company with no work and little respect for the MT, I decided to quit and find another job. I have been testing great,passing the on-line tests easily,and getting interest, and job offers. My only problem is that all the jobs offered to me are for the afternoon shift. Please do not get me wrong, I will work afternoon shift if my kids do not have food on the table, but I would rather have my afternoons, evenings free to spend time with my kids after they are gon ...

I received a call today from a doctor that I know. His practice is switching over to EMR, and he wants someone to coordinate that transition. New patients are easily entered into the system, but he has a temporary need to get the old records into the EMR system. His office staff is too busy to add this big job to their workload, and I think he correctly determined that he needs someone who can read the old office records, understand them, and then extract the info that needs to ...

I was all set to just quit MQ this past weekend, I had just had enough, even though I don't have another job yet, but am finishing my courses, which I am almost done with. But my husband got upset about being the only breadwinner and dipping into the savings. I can't get him to understand what I have to go through. I keep hoping they will just fire me or lay me off so I can get unemployment, but so far nothing, even though I'm certainly not turning in the work I ...

It's hard enough to get my lines in. I tell my family I'm on the clock, I have to work, but they just don't pay any attention. If they are here, they walk right in, sit down and start talking, even though they can see my fingers poised over the keyboard and my headphones on. If they are not here, they call, and then they have to repeat everything three times. I know I could clock out but I can't just abandon a job I'm in the middle of so even if I ...

I am planning to take an MT test at the libary. Never done it online before, or MT. Anyone want to help me know things I need up front, like what are good sources for using during test and just transcription? I don't even know what questions to ask. I've done MT before quite a bit but on analogue machine. I have medical terminology in chiropractic, mental health, neurology, and on a trial basis (the hospital). Should I order an overall practice book ...

Today is March 11 - that's 11 days since those of us who USE to work on a large account for OTI went POOF. There has been little to NO communication since then. Since March 4, I have applied for so many job postings, MT - nonMT - employee - IC it really doesn't matter I just need to make $$ and support my family! It is very frustrating that you don't even get a canned answer "sorry, the positions are filled" or "sorry you don't meet our specifications" ...

Be sure you have enough work hours every 12 months to get family medical leave if you need it. You will need to have 1250 hours for the past 12 months. If you work the 24-hour work week, you will have 1248 hours, missing two hours. While Medquist of course has the discretion of giving you family medical leave even with the 1248 hours, they are not required to do that. Then you will either have to let your relatives who need your help manage without you or lose your job. At your CCM&# ...

I just had an idiot dictating with what sounded like his whole family in the background, foreground, everyground. Two young girls talking and giggling and then saying goodbye to each other. Daughter talking to mother. Some kind of beeping noise like a piece of heavy equipment backing up....beep, beep, beep, beep. Dictator just yapping away. How inconsiderate!!!! Okay, I'm done. ...

I have told them, if my ears are in I'm working. If I'm not working, I'm not making money. I have only 8 hours in which to get this work done. But still, they will walk in here and start talking. Then I have to tell them again, and that always makes me feel BAD! ...

Someone posted a message about a week ago that they were a single parent and could not afford the price of family coverage. Well, I am in the same boat. Family coverage with Nuance and most insurance companies I have checked out will cost me around 450.00 per month for just me and my son. But, I don't have to carry him under the same policy. If I take BCBSMA through Nuance and insure him under BCBSNC he is only 100.00 a month saving me around 250.00 dollars and month. I hope this helps ...

I would like to hear from current Transcription Doctors transcriptionists regarding the practice of penalizing them if they do not meet the required production rate, and also do they do the same if your QA percentage rate goes lower than what they require? I have never heard of a company doing this before. I don't see how they can keep people if this is true. ...

Most of us are not even aware of this, but the MTSOs have been doing it to all of us for years, and what they are stealing from us is huge. Check this out. I will use just one report I did today to illustrate. Template loaded for DS. Report was half a minute long. I am required to delete any unused headings. All of the preloaded headings came to 200 characters. Based on a 65-character line, that's 3.07 lines. I had to delete all of those characters ...
