Pathology transcription - difference besides learning the format?

Do any of the transcription companies offer unpaid internships that help you move on to new types of transcription? I've typed radiology for 20+ years. I also have typed neurobehavioral psychology and pain management psychology. But acute care I've not done (except radiology inside a hospital for 8 years). Any info would be gratefully accepted. ...

Information gets thrown at you through training, and it doesn't all absorb right away, and you don't know what you're doing for a while. i hate that feeling of not being confident working with the software. I've had jobs where all you had to do was look at a list, match it to the patient, and type. (or jobs where very little learning of sofware was involved.). I wish I had a job like that again. Added to the annoyance are the IM programs, punching webclocks, special e-mail p ...

I've only done straight transcription in the past and just got hired by a company who apparently does both SR and transcription...can anyone give me info on their experiience as far as if I will make the same amount doing editing for SR as I would transcribing? Looking at 0.04 cpl is a bit dauntiing. I type really fast and it almost seems like I could straight transcribe a dictation at 0.08 cpl as fast as I could edit one at 0.04...just wondering about anyone else's experie ...

I just found a local hospital advertising for a path and lab transcription job and am considering applying, but I've never done that type of transcription. I've done numerous others, radiology, hospital, surgical, clinic, etc., but it has been a few years as lately I have been doing clinic work only. Is pathology/laboratory transcription difficult? I realize it's a matter of opinion and just like all other transcription would take time to adjust. I'm g ...

I have been a radiology transcriptionist for about 12 years. I am presently unemployed. I have seen an ad on one of the job sites for a pathology transcriptionist with 1 year experience. My question is how different/difficult is pathology transcription. Should it be something a radiology transcriptionist can do, given I have 15 years experience but 12 in rad work. Do you think it would be something I could pick up without difficulty? Any information and input would be appreciated. I have been ou ...

Hi, I been working full time in acute care as an IC now for 7 years and I have been noticing the only jobs for transcriptionists left in hospitals or labs is pathology, sometimes but rarely radiology. How can I go about learning pathology. I been in acute care my whole career, it can't be that hard to learn after typing acute care non stop for this long. Any ideas? ...

I am about to start a new in-house path transcription job for a laboratory. I did transcription for about 6 years up until I quit last spring. My specialties then were ortho and PT, so I have no experience in pathology. The new company is well aware of this and is willing to train and be patient with me learning on the job. Even so, I am so very nervous as I know this is a whole different ballgame with terminology. They do autopsies as well. Are there sites I should read up on or dictionaries th ...

Does anyone know where I could look at a rad report format online? I have AAMT Book of Style, but it does not show a format for radiology. All of the books online you have to buy. All I need is to know a format for a radiology report. ...

When typing combination medications should you put the dosage abbreviation after each medicaotin..... Example: hydrocodone 5 mg/325 mg or hydrocodone 5/325 mg???? Also, what if it is a medication combination that uses both mg and mcg? Example: 75 mg/200 mcg. I received a correction back from my boss and she had it 75/200 mg and, considering that part of the medication is mcg, i think that her correction is actually incorrect. ...

I am not sure how to format this medication and I think there might be a stumble also. Doctor says "... 2 tabs 125 mg 2 times p.o. t.i.d." Wonder whether I should edit out the either "2 tabs" or "2 times" as she does seem to correct herself. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated? Thanks ...

In a verbatim account: "patient is into" (doc lists medications)... Patient is into?? Very clearly said. "there are no labs available on the chart." (doc goes onto lists extensive lab results) Says also very clearly "this consultation was not necessary", however I am not sure if he is speaking to someone else, or if it is part of the dictation! I hear it clear as a bell, it just seems a snippy ending comment. I am going to type it out as I hear it, b ...

Okay........ now don't laugh at this question. I recently had to pull up another transcriptionist's report, and came across something I've never seen before. I couldn't find the formatting this MT used anywhere else, so I am wondering if any of you have. I always type "90th percentile", "56th percentile", etc. when peds are talking about growth charts. This MT typed "90%tile", "53%tile", etc. Is that actu ...

I know when there are more than 1 diagnoses, you list each one separately. How do you handle it when the dictator gives 4 separate diagnoses, then "etiology to be determined" at the end? List everything under 1 dx, or list "etiology to be determined" as a separate dx? Thanks. ...
