Book of Style - word alcohol always used instead of ethanol?

Anyone know when they are coming out with a new Book of Style? I am afraid to buy the 3rd edition since it is from 2008. Thanks. ...

Please tell where you work so I can apply there -- seriously -- sick of ridiculous QA. ...

How many MTs use the Book of Style? Am I the only one who thinks this is a total rip off just like dues to the former AAMT were? Is not this self promotion to enrich oneself three times now and passing this propaganda off to MTSOs as the "industry standard?" I know I sure did not get a vote as to what is and what is not this so-called "industry standard" and have not used that book in years! Poverty wages are now the "industry standard." Who else is fed up with this load of BS? ...

Can anyone tell me any of the new changes in the AHDI book of style. ? ...

It would seem that the AAMT/AHDI just look for ways to make money on their ole' book of style. Changing from one term in one book, to using it differently in a second, and now the third is different from that. What is the fourth going to do, go back to the first use. Throw them all out. They don't know what they are doing. Their transcription bible is useless to train from, and they charge a whole lot of money for useless. (Just a little frustrated, wouldn' ...

I have a question for those working for a hospital as an employee in-house or at home. I work at home for a hospital and we were told we must buy our own book of style version 3 but still expected to maintain high QA status. There is only 1 book in-house for all to share. I would think that the company should invest in buying each employee this book to improve production and it would be a positive move. They refuse to do this. I brought it up in a meeting and told t ...

Thanks for the input. ...

I have been working in transcription for 31 years. What is the deal with all this Book of Style nonsence? Doctors don't care if a comma is in the right place or not, or if a drug is capitalized or now. They just want the correct measurements, dosages, symptoms, body part, etc. typed in the correct document on the correct patient. You ask a doctor what the Book of Style is and they would probably just give you a dumb look. Who is making money off of this? It's just the crazi ...

Since I was terminated February 11, I have been reviewing some things in case I need to apply for some MT job in the future. When I worked for M-Modal, I was supplied with Book of Style, 2nd edition. I now have a copy of the 3rd edition, and they say some things are changed. They say changes have been made include dropping the period after courtesy titles like Dr. and Mr. I always typed Dr. with a period in the report. If it said patient was to follow up with Dr. Sm ...

I just purchased the Book of Style. II realize companies want you to be familiar with it, but what parts are the most necessary to bone up on? It is a huge book. Thaniks. ...

What is the actual title of the Book of Style? I see The Book of Style for Medical Transcription, 3rd Edition - Paperback (June 15, 2008) by Lea M. Sims and John H. Dirckx and I also see The AAMT Book of Style: A Searchable Medical Transcription Style Guide (2nd Edition) - CD-ROM (July 21, 2005) by American Association for Medical Transcription (AAMT). One is by AAMT and one is not - I am assuming the AAMT is the Book of Style everyone refers to? I am buying this for someone and want to ...

Is there a copy of the book of style on Enrich? I cannot for the life of me find it. I got dinged for an omission error because at the end of a list of allergies the dictator stated "parenthesis, details of allergies are not known, end parenthesis" and since it was a stand alone sentence, I left the parentheses off. The transcription guidelines on Enrich for parenthesis say to refer to the book of style, but I can't find a copy. Thanks! ...

I ask this because in my pre-employment test with M*Modal, I got dictations where they dictated the wrong punctuation and I edited it according to the AHDI Book of Style, which is one of my chief references when transcribing. I got a reply back from M*Modal saying that my results of their pre-employment test "did not match their criteria", whatever that means. I got the same reply from Acusis, another company that rejected me on the grounds that my results "didn't make the cut." Was ...

Sent a new computer and I can't find AAMT Book of Style in MQCentral. Does anyone happen to know where it is in the maze??? ...

I am currently looking for a new online job. I have been doing medical transcription for nine years now but work for a small hospital. I do not currently have, nor does my hospital require, the AAMT book of style to be the set rules for our transcription department. We still use q.h.s. etc. I recently had a job interview but blew it because the company requires their MTs to know the latest AAMT book of style front and back. Is this a big deal to know this book word for word? Wonderin ...

Can anyone recommend a good word book for occupational therapy and/or physical therapy terms? Things like contact guard (is it hyphenated or not), set up, and physical therapy equipment?

I rarely get complete mouth extraction reports, and when I do they usually have the same instruments used in them, but I have a burr that I am not familiar with. It sounds like crivet or cribet. "Using a _____ burr and the Hall handpiece, all sharp edges of alveolar bone were then smoothed over, and..." There is a hard K sound to it, definitely not just 'rivet' burr. Google wants to give me search results for 'crickett" but it is definitely not that. If you have ...
