totally confused on the "endo" surgical instruments

For you all who do OP notes, what resources do you use to find the surgical equipment? I have been an MT for quite a while, but I have just started doing OP notes and thank goodness I have access to other reports, but sometimes it takes a while to wade through so many reports to find a similar one. So, I figured it might be easier to have a book at hand that had many of the instruments. If you all have books, which ones do you recommend? Thank you in advance! :) ...

For NJA, will someone please explain to me where I post to get the 15 minutes downtime and the rest of my schedule excused, as well as where to post to get the 15 minutes downtime and the rest of my schedule PTO. I believe they are 2 different sites. TIA ...

a tone of people and now they have an ad on the other website hiring MTs? What the crap is up? They are so mismanaged it is pathetic! Stupid, stupid, stupid. ...

I'm supposed to be working now and don't have hours to spend trying to figure out how to set up and use IT 7. All other expanders I've used are so easy to start immediately. Can anyone just give me the commands I need to transcribe, I. E. (sorry it insists on capping that even though I never entered that short form). I copied the keyboard commands, I. E. Add New: ALT +=. This opens a short form that starts with the equals sign, which I don& ...

Which of the above is correct? Google has all three spellings and I'm not sure which one to use. For now, I'm going with the last one. ...

Replying to probably old message in Google. Correct spelling of instruments commonly used in cataract extraction: Utrata forceps, cystitome. Procedure: capsulorrhexis. ...

I've seen other inquiries re: what s/l "barber" needle on tympanoplasty but can't find definitive reference (Is is eponymous and therefore capitalized?). Re: the forceps - "Kalt" was closest I could find but don't see them being using in this type of procedure, and the ending letter sounds like a "b" or a "p". "The external auditory canal was visualized once again. A margin of 1 mm around the perforation was removed circumferentially; this was done with ...

doc says the "patient has a right adrenal mass and is MIG avid." The patient also has pheochromocytoma. Can anyone shed some light on this? Doc says clear as day...but I need some education on "MIG avid" means. TIA ...

Blank sounds like tuchogie or tuckogie. Any suggestions? Thanks! ...

I was supposed to have an interview with a company today at 2:00 p.m. I sent in my work environment information prior to the interview. A few minutes before the interview, they told me I needed to buy a lower version of Word and they would re-schedule my interview. I wrote back and told them thank you. These companies are getting free office space from us and they pay us practically nothing! They speak to us as if we were schlumps! With all of ...

...and yet the MTSO's just don't get it, do they? ...

My net pay didn't even hit 20K this year! And then I see that MM is advertising for more MT's, and I haven't had a full day in over 2 weeks? What is really going on here? Okay, done venting now. Thanks for listening! ...

So far, I cannot even make 450, which is where their incentive begins. Is the 600 a bunch of hooey/propaganda, or do people actually achieve that? I am trying to keep an open mind, but I have to say I hate it so far. It doesn't punctuate, doesn't list, totally time consuming to fix everything and for 4 cpl. :( ...

Last night was my first night as a Nuance employee--VR editor. No TMT online for any questions I may have. I felt like I was pounding out the reports as quick as I could.......Kept looking at my production. Are you kidding? Half way through my shift, I was about ready to cry. At the end of my shift? I figured I made 8.62/hr last night. Degrading? Oh you bet. I have 20 years experience as an MT and manager, and I am lowering myself to this to fill someone else's fat pockets? I will ...

So depressing...by slowing down to a snail's pace by watching every comma, paragraph break and dash so that I can pass audits, I'm now taking almost a $400/month pay cut. Wonder if I would make more on unemployment??? This job is now laughable (and I'm sure there is a misplaced comma somewhere in this post!). ...

I heard a friend talk about "going Galt," so I checked it out on Google. It basically means I'm not giving away my intellect anymore for a "higher paying" job, which also means more in taxes. So, here's how I'm "going Galt." I'm quitting the MT biz and going to work in the restaurant industry. I feel like I'm being pimped out by the MTSO. About 3 years ago I was doing 11 cents on the GROSS line count and making just under 50k a year. Now I'm at about 8 ...

get it repaired? I've Googled and cannot find anything. Searched archives here but cannot find anything. Second question is does any company take them to refurbish, giving you a small amount for it? I hate to just throw the darn thing away without trying to do something with it. TIA. ...

Can anyone tell me where I can find the instructions in order to add a correction to my time card please? I have totally botched up my timecard in the last couple of days so for the past 2 days I have 64 hours! I have clicked and clicked on every button there and cannot for the life of me see where I would make a correction entry. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ...

It would be so HELPFUL if the CPs were in any kind of uniform order with divided sections, maybe, so you would know where to look for the same info from CP to CP. ...

Well, they are still at it. Totally Transcription in Missouri is still not paying people because of ???? They owe their people up to 90 days of pay. Blamed it on the bookkeeper. etc. They must have had a great Christmas last year, no one got paid except them I guess. DO NOT DEAL WITH TOTALLY - YOU WILL SUPPORT THEIR LIFESTYLE AND RUIN YOURS. LET'S PUT THEM ON THE RED FLAG LIST SO NO ONE WILL ADVERTISE FOR THEM. ...

Thank you all for answering my questions lately. I'm definitely at a crossroads with where I'm going. I have an Associates Degree in medical transcription, have completed two A&P classes, two medical terminology classes, a pharmacology class, etc. and have worked as a transcriptionist for two decades. I am now looking at either going to my local community college and adding on to my degree with a certificate program, or just recently I have considered Western Gove ...

Totally without a job now. I have always had 2 jobs but the way DTS pays line rate based on biweekly production, there was no way to keep a second job or get 7.21 cpl from DTS. I was told EVERYBODY was getting laid off on the hospital account on SpeechMotion... not sure if it was 100% truth or not. ...

Can anyone give me insight as to what I may be doing wrong here? I applied to a large company as an IC for evening shift. I passed the first interview, took the test and was told I scored very high and the QA score on the testing was 99.9%. I have 20 years experience. I have done straight transcription (250 plus lines per hour) and voice recognition (400 plus lines per hour) and was willing to do either one, was willing to work Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening shifts.& ...

.....what is my reward? Being paid minimum wage then getting fired for not being "productive" enough! Never mind the fact that a huge portion of the docs I typed were difficult ESLs or mushmouthed docs who would not open their mouths for the life of them! Never mind that I that I had to track down doctors that I was unfamiliar with and that the docs did not spell to make sure the correct ones got a copy. Never mind the fact that I actually cared enough ...

heard some of us were having problems even getting DQS to work, but I had no problem. All of a sudden though I am getting a totally alien to me account. ESL is usually no problem with me, but this account not only had PAs dictating the sound was so low and garbled one could understand absolutely nothing. Also a totally alien work type to me. Sad to say, and I do feel for those of you who have this as your primary account, but I abandoned them. It was close to the en ...
