What is up with this company? Maybe they lost accounts but at least they could have let me know so I'm not just waiting for training.

hired in Feb. but did not start until six weeks later in April. I took that time to make cold calls (I physically picked up the phone and called local/state MT companies) and got another PT job. I started that in March, then the other came thru in April and I had one clinic note job and one acute care job, gave me a great base for my first two years experience. So take the time to be proactive and also send them a followup email every week, eventually they will get back to you, generally it takes time at their end though.
Is follow up one word or two, such as "the patient returns for follow up of right knee pain." Half the girls I work with do it one way and I have always done it as two words. I would just like to know who is correct. Thanks for any help. ...
Help guys! I have been working with numbers all day, which is not my cup of tea! I am totally brain dead right now. If the doctor states the patient is to have cardiology followup, it would be followup, or is it follow up? ...
whats your opinion for the sentence below?
"I plan to see him in followup/follow up in 6 months."
the doc prefers it one way whereas i'm pretty sure I know which one it should be...can i get your opinion?... ...
It's always the little things that snag me up. I know the rules on follow up as a verb and followup as a noun and adjective, but when a doc says, "CHIEF COMPLAINT: Follow up acne", does he mean "recheck acne" which would make follow up a verb and thus spelled follow up, or does he mean "here for a followup of acne"? and thus the followup spelling. What is the general rule on this "shortened" statement?
Thanks. ...
On the 3 horrible reports that I had to submit to QA yesterday because of the 3-blank rule, thus losing 3 cpl probably, QA had no more luck filling in the blanks than I and sent them through with 5-10 blanks. That makes me so mad -- not at QA, just in general that I get penalized financially when it was the DOCTOR'S FAULT AND THE PICKY FACILITY'S "RULE." ...
Hello Ladies....where I work we are diving into the Book of Style. I am having a hard time determining when to use followup (one word) versus follow up (2 words). Can anyone post any examples of the correct usage and/or anything you use to help you know which way is correct?
Thanks ...

WARN protects workers, their families, and communities by requiring employers to provide notification 60 calendar days in advance of plant closings and mass layoffs. Advance notice gives workers and their families some transition time to adjust to the prospective loss of employment, to seek and obtain other jobs and, if necessary, to enter skill training or retraining that will allow these workers to compete successfully in the job mark ...
I know how to use followup and follow up in most circumstances, and I thought I knew how to use it in all circumstances.
However, what about in these instances:
CHIEF COMPLAINT: Followup/follow up.
CHIEF COMPLAINT: Followup/follow up of left knee pain.
I was 100% confident in myself, but QA has given mixed feedback... ...
Hi guys,
Having a discrepancy regarding captilization of the words, especially if they are following a proper noun.
Example: Severstal Sparrows plant dispensary, Macy's storeroom.
In the above examples, is it mandatory to captilize the nouns that follow a proper noun.
i.e., Severstal Sparrows Plant Dispensary, Macy's Storeroom.
Please do the needful.
Thnx,
Syd !

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 ...
Patient had a FU MRI scan of the brain showing "possible punctate area of signal loss in the (s/l greater archeal) imaging." I was thinking "radionuclide" but not so sure about this! Thanks for any help! ...
the HR person interviewing you via phone keeps reminding you he has a lot more interviews to conduct
the questions you e-mailed (and were encouraged to e-mail) to the HR person go unanswered
the HR person says they will decide by Monday and then later states Wednesday, and then later states another date
just my experience of late that I thought I would share

One space to fill in what you'd like to change about the "culture" and if you wanted to go back and add anything well too bad! I wish I had realized there was only that one place to enter comments. I thought there would be something more like what do you not like about your job? etc. ...
Well, I didn't quit. I talked it out with one of the other transcriptionists. It was an extremely busy day, especially for a holiday. I work on two hospital accounts. Thanks for the encouragement and suggestions. I'm gonna hang in a while longer. ...
I have been a MT for 30 yrs. I had to stop working 4 yrs ago due to health issues, then finally had 2 surgeries which pretty much took care of the problem. While I was out on disability I got a grant, went back to an AHDI approved University and took refresher courses in MT fulltime for a year. Now, I'm ready to get back to work. I submitted a resume to M-Modal last week and just read they are not considering me. Is there a way to find out why? I'm a good transcriptionist and I want to ...
back in the day, I took the course at the junior college. The cost was negligible. I'd be really upset if I spent what these schools charge, only to get a job that pays minimum wage. ...
I'll tell you how certain I am that there is NO future in medical transcription... anywyere: Last week a "good" MT job, onsite in a medical clinic, a short drive from where I live, was advertised. I didn't apply.
I work for a big national. I make so little money, I have to raid my savings every month to pay my rent. I've been seeking & applying for MT jobs all over the area, some as far as 80 miles away, and either not hearing back, or being tol ...
and not train me on them, I may not have failed my audit...I really don't care, fire me..Not gonna sweat it, not going to change a single thing I do during the day. End of story, done!!! ...
It's just all I can do to sit here and type these boring reports. Been doing it for 33 years so please, no comments about how I should have investigated it before I got into it. I loved it when it was inhouse. Been home now since 1999 and I'm just so freaking bored. Stop every 5 minutes just to surf the internet or check my email. I cannot keep my mind on this mind-numbing job.
I'm about to start a coding class, but I'm not terribly optimistic t ...
