Good morning all!
I'm starting a new account which is an OB/GYN clinic and also will entail a good deal of prenatal anomalies and investigations as well.
Does anyone here have any particular favorite websites they use as an informative guide for terms, abbreviations, etc., related to this field? If so, would you be so kind as to share any links?
Thanks so much in advance for any valuable information you're willing to share.
Have a great Tuesday! ...
I have been working through a company as an IC and now have an opportunity to gain a local account, but I need an FTP site that I can receive wav files and send reports back, does anyone have any suggestions? The last time I did local accounts they were still using tapes, LOL! ...

I seem to be having a problem with getting the lab data in the right sentence structure can anyone help me out with this problem. Thank you in advance. ...
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 ...
Does anyone else on this board have an issue with companies not posting all of the information needed for people to apply? On a different board I found a job that I was interested in that and I wanted to apply for it but some of the information ( i.e. years of experience, types of programs used etc) were not there. Should I stay away from companies that do this? ...
I'm currently in CareerStep and hoping to be done with my training in the next month or so. I'm trying to get a jump on companies I might want to apply for, and I'm not sure if I'm really getting anywhere. Many of the companies on GlassDoor are geting barely 2 out of 5 stars!
CareerStep partners with a bunch of schools as well and I can only get information on about half of them off of Glassdoor. So any recommendations OR companies to stay away from would be great! ...
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 ...
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 ...
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! ...
Does anyone have a good website where if you can only make out part of the name of a drug it will research everthing with that part. I used to have one ages ago that all it needed was at least 3 letters, but have since lost it. Now a year or so later I am trying to find it again.
Any help is appreicated. ...
I am SO excited. I just received a call from a local hospital for an interview tomorrow for an full-time inhouse transcriptionist radiology position. I am not sure yet if they pay by the line or the hour; I hope it is hourly then I would know exactly what my pay will be instead of by the line since you never know from one pay period to the next how muych it will be. Believe me, this is rare as I live in the middle of nowhere and 3 hospitals that are within driving distanc ...
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 ...
Hello out there. Are there any medical coding and billing sites like this one. Any information on websites or where to look would be greatly appreciated. ...
I am not sure what's going on of late, but I don't seem to get relevant search results when I use G. I search for a medical word, but get results from sites that have nothing to do with medicine. I end up questioning the credibility of these search results and have to research more. Needless to say, I've been losing money spending so much more time researching words. Sometimes, I just wonder if I could have access to a medical search engine to cut out the non-medical stuff. Anyone ...

Hi Everyone!
I wanted to know if anyone could tell me what companies transcribe for M.E's offices or Hospitals for Forensic Pathology (autopsies).
I have been involved in the business for 3 yrs and now am looking to work from home with this as my primary background.
I appreciate any feed back.
Thank you! ...
Can anyone explain to me what do you type if you are a pathology MT? I see many jobs asking for radiology or pathology expereince needed. I understand what RAD is... I do not know what pathology is typing. Please explain? Greatly appreciated! ...
