Kind of a strange question. I was wondering if anyone would know this. I have a chance to take an IC position. The MTSO said that the workload would be 5000-7000 KB a day. I'm not sure exactly what that means. Anyone have any ideas? I have an email into her, but I was wondering if anyone knew how much work this could possibly mean. I'm now among the unemployed and I could really use a job where the work is plentiful. ...
Usually I can handle all of their mistakes and quirks and just plain pointless and unnecessary babbling, but today it's been getting to me. I swear, the way the mispronounce everything (pharnyx) and butcher meds and big words is driving me nuts. ...
Just had one dictate that this teenager took: Insulin 300-unit meal bolus plus 1 unit per 15 g carbs. Considering 300 units is a whole vial, that could be deadly.
Looking back at old records it was supposed to be: Insulin 300 units/3 mL. Meal bolus: 1 unit per 15 g carbs. ...
I am considering testing for an at-home company, haven't worked from home in years and when I did it was with microcassettes, etc. I am trying to put together equipment just to do the testing and have access to AS-5000 transcription kit (pedal, software,etc.) Does anybody know if this will work when the company downloads their files? Thanks for any advice...I'm really beginning to feel like a dinosaur! ...
DQS completely and the hospital will drop MQ. Just curious about that. It seems Epic is the way to go and was not sure if that can be interspersed with DQS or eliminate MQ altogether with DQS. ...
Question...I've been looking all over trying to figure out the best way to transcribe number/number combinations with medications on a list of meds where using parentheses doesn't seem to be right. For example:
Vitamin D3 5000 units daily, vitamin B12 500 mg daily, etc.
Is there a way to transcribe this where it doesn't look so number-heavy and the dosage is clearly separate from the vitamin?
TIA! ...
Which is correct: "The patient is here for a 3-month followup visit." or "The patient is here for a 3 month followup visit." I was always told in this instance that it is without the hyphen becuase putting the hyphen in it will mean that the visit is 3 months long versus a visit at 3 months' time. Which is the correct way to do this? I got a correction back on a file and I was pretty sure I had it right. ...
I keep reading posts about companies that pay 5 or 6 cpl for VR but where are these companies posting their job ads? I have 13 years of experience as an MT and my hands are sore and ache with all of the straight typing. I would love to make 5 or 6 cpl for VR not 3 or 4 cpl for VR!!!!!! Email me the names of these companies if your afraid to put them on the board, I don't mind ! ...
So if they have horrible accounts and you can edit only 250 lines an hour then you're making $7.50 an hour? Or even 300 lines an hour then you're making 9 bucks an hour? Is this a joke?! ...

To all you are wondering if it can happen. Yes, it can and it did for me. I was just hired for my first coding job!!! I am only half way through my AHIMA coding course but I have 20 years of acute care transcription experience. I applied for every job that came up even if I did not meet the requirements. Only a few responded, but that is okay. It only takes one. I was really surprised that I even was offered the chance to test. My first test was a ...
I was hired as a recruiter for a large cancer nonprofit that holds walk-a-thons. It is a 3-month temporary position and I was allowed to choose the hours, anywhere from 20 to 40 hrs a week. It involves reaching out to corporations and individuals and asking them for in-kind or monetary donations as well as participating in the walk-a-thon itself. Most of the contacts are repeat donors and are happy to get the call to join in the event again. Participation with the event is also required - se ...
I wonder if anyone knows just how little of a damn I give. I really, honestly, truly from the depths of my heart and soul just really don't give a damn.
OK, there. I said it. ...
May is MT Month and we are celebrating it by allowing you to volunteer to take some continuing education. It is highly important that we take care of the patient and account (or we will lose them to another MTSO). You will not receive a thank you, no china-manufactured clock or pen for your hard work, just work harder and waste more of your time so we can pay you less and treat you like dirt.
By the way, we are going to monitor your every keystroke and if you are not giving us ...
