Helpful Quick 7.1 Hints

I got an email today with a bunch of FYI... do it this way, type it that way. I suppose it will be helpful at some point, but I just got feedback... back and for the first time ever I was corrected to type H and P instead of H&P. How do you type it, does anyone know how it is supposed to be? I think H and P looks stupid. Also, doc dictated vital signs: see nursing notes and then went back later and changed it to unremarkable. The QA changed it back to see nursi ...

As someone who worked as a professional full-time MT for 31 years (most of those years at home), I've learned the ropes the hard way when transitioning over to the "public workplace." I'm here to offer encouragement to others who need to find another career in order to make a decent living. I do still work 15-20 hours at home as an MT online, but I work a full time job in a completely different sector during the day. I finally have the job of my dreams, and I absolute ...

Since the report is already typed and we are just editing I know I should be going faster than I am. Sometimes I spend as much time as I do if it was regular typing, but I know I should be going faster. Do people go faster on VR and if so do you have any suggestions that will help. Thanks, ...

Well after ten years as radiology transcriptionist I lost my job to new technology. Any helpful hints on finding a new job, what the market is for radiology transcriptiionists, is there any hope for me? ...

If you think you hear P it could be B, and vice versa. If you think you hear T, it could be D, and vice versa. If you think you hear K, it could be G, and vice versa. These sounds come from the same location in the mouth, same tongue placement, etc. but the difference is one set is voiced and one is voiceless. PTK (voiceless) BDG (voiced) When you are doing op notes or something requiring you to remember your anatomy and physiology, you can open up a medical termi ...

The next tip/hint I have for everyone is the comma, semicolon, and colon. First of all, UNLESS YOUR DICTATOR IS VERBATIM, ignore their punctuation. Most doctors I have experience with wouldnâ��t know proper punctuation if it bit them in the behind. Just because they say â��commaâ�� doesnâ��t mean their correct. I wonâ��t say much about the comma, because I think we all pretty much know how to use that. However, the semicolon stumps some people, especially doctors. A semicolon ...

Anybody have any comments or helpful hints on the INSCRIBE platform? Thank you in advance for any replies. ...

I was hoping some more experienced MTs could help me with something. I am struggling with remembering which are brand names and which are generics (so I know to cap them or not). Is there some trick to this? A website that can quickly (and obviously) tell you? Perhaps some software you all have? Please, it is driving me crazy and my quality is suffering :( ...

I'd like to post my tips for getting through the day: I have at least 8 different accounts (so far, keep getting more...) I made a print out of each client profile, but for quick reference I have colored post it notes with tips like: stacked/nc (for H&P and ROS), means stacked, mixed case (no caps...) pt name (+ or -), patient's name allowed or not. date format # Some accounts allow the date to ...

when you post you are NJA if you post the TSM initials, since they are still calling for OT. ...

Have a hospital where you are to phonetically spell name if not given (it wasn't except to call him "Steven") QA so kindly sent me QA feedback and the only thing on there was that apparently Steven was actually spelled "Stephun." Is that ACTUALLY going to be of any help in the future? QA wonders why we have an attitude? DON'T WASTE ANY MORE OF MY TIME THAN IS ALREADY BEING WASTED. ...

My kitty, who used to lie quietly under my chair, has just taken to sitting under my desk and "helping" me get through my transcription by pushing the foot pedal when I take my foot of it. Short of putting her in the other room, which I may have to do, does anyone have any ideas how to get her to stop this? She has also started licking my feet. And yes, she has fresh water, clean litter box, and I just fed her. ...

I, I think like a lot of the MTs on here are getting fed up with Express Scribe and the fact that you have to go to the Pro Version and downgrade to the free. Stupidly on Thursday, I removed my copy of ES to install the version that the company I was going to work for uses. Well, now, I cannot even configure the footpedal unless I purchase the product or one of their footpedals (my footpedal is an IN-USB-1 which has worked on Express Scribe in the past), but now, it is not even on th ...

Some of you don't need me to tell you this, but others might benefit from this advice. Reading through the posts on this coding training, I am seeing some legitimate questions and concerns, but also some that are so off the wall that they are either the product of the world's worst paranoid or someone who is intentionally trying to discourage you. The content and tone is a lot like some of the negativity that gets posted on the coding board every time some one asks about coding ...

Someone else has already suggested what I was going to say, going over your resume and making some changes. Another good idea is to get together with some MTs who are successful. Just as negativism rubs off, so does success. I've learned quite a bit from my friends who were successful years before I was. They've been at it a long time and are still going strong. Just as in any career, we each have our ups and downs, but we do well overall. Part of the reason why is, we keep learning f ...

Hello: Anyone work for or have any helpful info on K&R Consulting? Thinking of applying to yesterday's ad. ...

I was thinking of something the other day: We all have our favorite web sites which we have found on our own, whether it be for surgical web sites, chemo drugs, bacterial finder, orthopedic test words, neuro words, etc. How about we post said web sites here with a short description as to what they are for. It would be a good way to help each other out Anyone agree? Thanks! ...

This patient has a papule on a GYN exam "near the vaginal and s/l joitus on the perineum." Does anyone have any ideas? Anytime I try to look it up online, I get a bunch of sex site referrals. ...

Need quick help please. Doctor says something that sounds like "diffilization" of the pulmonary vessels. He is giving the results from a chest x-ray....if that helps with context. The physician has an Eastern Indian accent as well. ...

I haven't posted lately, but I thought that I would just drop a line to keep anyone interested up to date. I am graduating in June with my M.D., near the top of my class. Already passed the boards. As my classes have progressed it has actually gotten much easier because of my years of transcribing. I know the treatment for most diseases because I have typed them time and time again. I know there is a lot of frustration out there because of what ...

With the exception of a "Quick" test, which he turns to the left, his neurologic examination is otherwise normal. does that sound right? the sentence? "which he turns to the left" ...

I have not started training yet, but think I will be in the North region. Is there normally work in that region? Anything I need to know before I start? Just curious. Thanks. ...

These may be stupid questions but I have to ask. What does IC stand for? Also, I keep hearing talk of speech recognition, are MT schools teaching this? How can you train for this? Thanks ...

I am supposed to start training with Transcend but am panic-stricken because of all the posts about no work available. I have been offered a local clinic job (not the best working conditions but steady income). Prefer to work at home, of course, but don't want to sit here with no work and not making any money. Can anyone give me any positive feedback on Transcend? ...
