Question about pulling physician's name from the database into the body of the report.

I've got a new account that's really laggy typing any names into the database, but even worse, up to a 4- to 5-second delay deleting names via backspace. I've tried troubleshooting the issue with Tech Support, but no luck there. Just upgraded my ISP to see if that might be a contributing factor, but no change with that, so the next thing is to upgrade my RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB, I guess. It's happening during both a regular Alt + I search and also Alt + C ...

I have been transcribing over six years. Lately, I have been finding myself procrastinating whenever a dictation comes up in my queue that I don't really care for. It's not necessarily that it is a difficult dictator but it may be the specialty (oncology in my case) or a dictator that has long gaps in dictating their report. I know that's part of the job but I was wondering how do any you cope or what you do to make it through these to make these repo ...

in the report I looked up: He also had a temperature of 102. He was given half of a beer, which improved it. The audio was still there, so I listened to it, just being curious.

I wanted to share my chair info with every MT. I recently read about the Body Built Chair and decided to check it out. I did finally purchase the chair after much hesitation because it cost so much. I love the chair so much! I am so pleased I purchased it. They do have a 30 day return policy. I was having pain and discomfort in my lower back, my legs, my butt, every where it seems after years of transcribing. I have purchased several chairs. ...

Wanted to know if it should be typed "Patient body habitus" or as "Patient's body habitus" ? The doctor makes it hard to differentiate between the two. I am thinking he meant "Patient's body habitus". I have seen it both ways. Would like somebody's opinion. ...

Does anyone have any good websites for looking up physician names? Started a new job and I am all over the country on some of these physicians. Sometimes i have a full name, other times just a last name and no clue as to what the speciality is. Thanks in advance for your help. ...

So, I'm editing this report and it comes to the end and the physician states, "Transcriptionist, thank you so very, very much. I appreciate you and your work." Totally made my day! Since this physican doesn't know it was me doing the report, I wanted to pass it on so hopefully it'll make someone else's day too. Please no negative comments. I have enough negative (as we all do). Let me just enjoy the thank-you, and even more the appreciatio ...

I saw this one on the Job Seeker board (http://forum.mtstars.com/223201.html) and was wondering if anyone responded to it yet. On some levels, it seems legit...but then on other hand it seems like a scam because it keeps talking about their "database compiler software," and I keep thinking about those companies that'll hire you to work for them but in order for you to make "real money" you'd have to buy their software. I know there's plenty of free compiler software on the net, ...

I have alway been told when in doubt, leave a blank. Resident did not give attending physician's name. There was a doctor's name in the hearder as attending, but I was not sure so I left the attending line blank at the bottom of the report. My boss calls me and tell s me to go on a limb and guess in the future. I do not like those ethics because it leaves me up for problems in the future. Comments welcomed. ...

I have been approached by a physician to do his transcription. This is to be done at home. What equipment will I need for transcribing --- also, what equipment will the physician need for dictating? I appreciate all your suggestions. I have done transcription for this doc at a hospital. The hospital went voice recognition -- using a company 100+ miles away. He wants me to do the transcription for surgeries he does in a different location other than ...

The doctor I transcribe for sometimes says "Associated Physician" and sometimes says "Associative Physician" and then lists the doctor's name. Sometimes he will also list a "Primary Physician." Just curious to see if there is a difference between associated vs associative and if one would be better than the other in this situation. Any thoughts? Thanks! ...

Below is a link to a NY Times editorial. "The advent of electronic medical records has been a boon to patient safety and physician efficiency in many ways. But it has also brought with it a slew of “timesaving” tricks that have had some unintended consequences. These tricks make it so easy for doctors to document the results of standard exams and conversations with patients that it appears more and more of them are being documented without ever having happened in the first pla ...
