Posted: Nov 16, 2009
Thanks for all the useful comments and equiptment tips.

Want to keep my skills sharp.
What on-line sites would you all recommend for daily MT dictation pracrtice?
I am currently redoing over and over my course materials.
Also what does one do to improve on grammar and punctuation skills?
Thanks.

You do not seem to answer questions but maybe this one? - I was wondering why you
[ In Reply To ..]would go into a profession that apparently pays less than what you are trained to do, that being a registered dental hygienist and believe I read below you have degrees in other things. Why are you choosing to start this profession at apparently a late deta in your life?

WOW! Talk about putting on the blinders! - liz
[ In Reply To ..]Everytime this woman gets a hard question asked of her, she just totally ignores it like the situation won't exist if she doesn't acknowledge it. It is not help if you don't consider criticism!! Whatever, we all know she will not last long in this profession with an attitude like that!

I Want More Practice
Oct 17, 2009
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 ...

Due Diligence: Should I Get Into The MT Biz? Which Are The BEST Training Sites?
Feb 09, 2012
There are SOOO MANY conflicting opinions on the MT profession, and SOOOO MANY options for training - the more I know, the more confused I seem to be. A "training program" or an "accredited school"? Independent contractor or employee? Doctor's office or national transcription company? I attended a very informative one-day class on the MT industry. MT is a field that I have been interested in knowing more about but have not had the time to look into. Now, I am unempl ...

MTTest Testing Sites
Dec 09, 2014
It has been my experience that any time a company requests that you go to their testing site to complete a test, it seems to be a waste of time in screening candidates. The audio files are extremely hard to hear and half the time the audio skips. There should be a better way to screen applicants than by using these testing sites. It is a no-win situation. You spend two hours doing their screening and trying to transcribe reports that are not the work type that they are ev ...
OOW - Switched To Garden Sites

We ran out of TAT last week and I guess our supervisor missed out on some bonus because of it. Tightening down on schedules/hours/procedures for not showing up for work or showing up late were reiterated to us. Guess some took it seriously cause now the work is slim. Had been getting stressed with having to flex or use up PTO, today I spent the last hour on gardening web sites and looking through seed catalogs. Feel relaxed now and ready to prepare a little lunch and then check back ...
Moving Practice To EMR.
Dec 22, 2009
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 ...
Does Anyone Do Family Practice?
Apr 30, 2011
I have been doing transcription for about 7 years now, but almost all of that has been doing family practice work in SOAP note fashion. When I first graduated I briefly did some work doing OP, H&P, discharges, et cetera. I only did that for a short time and then started working at my current job. I have been with this small MTSO for 6 years doing family practice. I also did some letters and SOAP notes for peds endo for a while while doing the family practice. Anyway, over the las ...

Believe me, this is rare as I live in the middle of nowhere and 3 hospitals that are within driving distanc ...
Good Drug Research Sites?
Apr 27, 2012
Hi all. I'm wondering what sites are your favorite for drug researching? The main issue right now is a sentence that has me wondering. It says: "The patient has no known allergy for the s/l listed." I've never heard it put that way before. He must be talking about the meds the patient usually takes, but, if he's been taking them, of course he has no allergies to them! This is a separate sentence as I have it in caps. Do you need anything else? I have tried looking up anything tha ...
