Question about receiving Andrews books

The doctor I work for, from his recorder into DSS software, can download a 47 minute DS2 file, but when he sends it to me....it is only 24 minutes, even though it is 9.5 MB.....any thoughts? ...

I'm preparing to start a new job and they emailed several attachments. On opening them, the data is there in the middle of a bunch of garbled letters and symbols. I was going to let it go and just delete the gargled stuff but this is ridiculous. We thought having Microsoft office would help but it didn't. I was hoping someone here would know what I need to do before I have to call them in the morning. I would really like to fix this on my own but I can ...

Is it typical to only receive a percentage of your edited lines because "editing is faster and better" than straight transcription? I am new to VR, but this seems odd to me. No wonder I am being paid a decent rate. LOL So, when I edit a 50-line report, I only receive 60% of that report. I'm just curious if this across the board with all companies?? ...

Lately I have been received jobs that are marked as being SR but the screen is blank, so have to hit F11, then type it... Not a problem, just wondering why I am getting so many, had 7 last pay period and 2 tonight and only 2 hours into my shift. Anyone else? ...

I don't remember being notified that we will no longer be receiving a production bonus with our twice a year audit. I'm not sure what else she can take away from us at this point. We have already had our PTO cut, PTO rate reduced, and now no bonus. Well, I suppose we could pay her to work there. Of course, this is JMO. ...

Question regarding use of reference books....I've been working for the same transcription company for 10 years and have kept very busy in that time, but as of the last six months, they have lost accounts and work has dropped off significantly. I applied for a job last week that asked me which reference books I currently use. To be honest, I haven't renewed any of my reference books in about 8 years, as I found it to be much, much quicker to locate terms via the Internet if you ...

Hi all, I have a bunch of Stedman's word books that I don't want to go through the trouble of selling. I just want to maybe donate them somewhere in one swoop, but where would one donate something like this? I am not wanting to ship them anywhere, either. Any ideas, smart people? I stopped updating my books some years ago when our pays weren't what they were before that, and also with the Internet they weren't as big a necessity as years prior. I never updated all of ...

Okay, are Word Books still being used these days? I am beginning a unit on dermatology and having a difficult time with some of the expressions/words, etc. If they are, what is the recommended Word Book? From what I've seen online the books seems to be outdated? Thanks for any input. ...

Gotta love the daily tips for reducing your QA submission. We can order books at a discount and have it payroll deducted. Cool! Let's see, I think I can do without electricity for a while. There was a time when this "perk" was fine, when we made more money. If they start offering food stamps, then they will have my attention. ...

Hello, MTs! I am back for another question! I do have a list of books I'm interested in purchasing from either Dorland's or Stedman's medical dictionary to Merck Manual's of Patient Symptoms (the list goes on, but I'm just naming a couple). Google is so wonderful when it comes to researching when you don't have anything, but I feel it's not completely reliable as having hardcopy materials. Out of curiosity, what book(s) can you not live without or work without ...

Meant to post in the word help section. Hopefully it gets moved. Sorry. I have been a clinic transcriptionist for 14 years in all specialties but have very little hospital experience and no experience with OP notes. I started a new job this week and was asked if I wanted to try hospital/OP notes so I said sure. I figured since my production and accuracy were going to be lower due to the new platform, account specs, dictators, etc., it would be as good a time as ...

We are using the book "Basic ICD-9-CM Coding." I would like to know what other books other schools are using for Coding I. I do not think this book is the best for me! Can anyone suggest any others? ...

I suppose it would be difficult to type from copy again. It would have to be dictated in order to be easier to type since we are used to that now. I wonder how long it takes to adjust back to typing from hard copy? ...

Hi all, I recently left Andrews School, I wasn't able to succeed in the course. I have the books and materials still from the course. What's the best way to go about selling it? Should I use ebay? Or would it be better to find a bookstore locally that buys them? How would I go about finding that? Any help is appreciated thanks, - Ave ...

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! :) ...
