A lot of Ortho terms are repetitive. Personally, I found it to be one of the easiest specialty fields to learn. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Good luck to you!

I've turned to this site quite often for ortho words, especially OPs, and found many of the words I'd been looking for out there. Here's the link.
I have had NUMEROUS MT jobs and I usually "jump ship" when things get bad, work runs out, etc., and it has gotten to the point where I have no references that I feel would say positive things. Does anyone else have this problem? I am actually trying to get a job in the "outside world" but everyone wants "references" and it is hard to explain that these transcription companies are not even in my same state, they no absolutely nothing about me, so it makes it very difficult. ...
Okay, so what do you do if you have no "work" references because every company you have worked for previously has gone out of business? They specifically want "work" references, not personal (no friends, relatives, clergy, etc.) ...
I'm baffled...I applied with Patient First through Careerbuilder. I had recruiters pursuing me for months, I get back to them and they tell me I'll be coming to Virginia for testing that I did awesome on the first test, yada yada yada...then I get a call from HR because I didn't fill out the profile on the Patient First website, and now they're all gung ho about references! I worked at the same MTSO for over 6 years - there's a lot of turnover in MTSO's, ...
I initially went to work as an MT in-house for a practice in 1990. They outsourced to a company that I went to work for in 2000. The medical practice was bought by a hospital, so switched their work to another facility. I continued to work at home for CyMed. They were sold to SPi, who eventually closed shop. I left in 2009 to work for Meridian Health Solutions. In 2013, Meridian sold out to MM, and here I sit at MM, who states they ONLY verify employment, and ...
Are there any programs/books you could recommend that go the computer. I had retired, but now seeking work again and unfortunately got rid of my reference books! Thanks ...
I am picking up a new clinic and I am hoping those of you who have been doing Neuro/Neurosurg might be able to suggest some of your favorite links for these specialties. I am very excited about the new clinic, but pretty nervous too. There is so much to learn.
Any ideas on where I can find the best references in these fields?
Thanks in advance.... ...
Is it true that on the CMT exam, during the transcription portion, that you cannot use any references or a spellchecker? If so, how is that even possible? ...
The job wtih Cypress sounds interesting; however, I am just curious about the references being "physician references." I have been working at home for about 20 years and my references are all MTSO-type references. Do they overlook this or does it actually have to be doctors? Thanks. ...
Nuance is horrible for giving references needed for new job but should have figured. Now they are holding me back from getting another job how nice, glad they can manage ti pay their bills but hold others back frim doing the same!!! ...
I have worked at home for 15+ years and other than occasional email exchanges between me and a supervisor I have no contact with other people at my company or even on my account. I was filling out a job application the other day and it wanted three professional references other than the supervisors. I was completely lost and had to leave it blank. Has anyone else run into this, and how do you handle it? ...
Hi! I used to work for MQ, frequented this board often and appreciated the sound advice. I have since retired from the medical transcription industry. Recently I was asked to transcribe some recorded conversations that will ultimately be read aloud in court for a child custody case. I'm not worried about the actual transcribing, just about proper formatting and such. I would also like to know an approximate amount to charge, i.e., by the line, by the page, by the hour, etc.? C ...
supervisor at a company I've been with for years, the others having disappeared with a wave of the corporate wand at various times. I haven't told her I'm leaving yet and am a little afraid of the reaction; she's good at her job but can be...volatile. So, if anyone could help me, please e-mail, and I'd be happy to reciprocate. ...
So I'm applying for a substitute position with my local school system and they want two professional references.
I don't want to ask the current MTSO I work for, nor the physicians in my private accounts. I've worked for this MTSO for 5 years, a pretty significant length of time considering. So I'm looking at my resume over the last 10 years and there are five companies closed/bought out.
I have been in contact with a company I worked for from 1997 to 2003 ...
Can someone verify for me the correct way to transcribe this -first dorsal compartment or 1st dorsal compartment? Also - please give where to verify/prove this if you can. Thanks! ...
This surgeon dictates the same over and over in multiple reports, and I cannot understand what type of testing this is.
"s/l Manuar test reveals 5/5 strength in forward elevation, external rotation, internal rotation, and abduction."
"s/l The remainder of Manuar assessment exam of left upper extremity reveals 5/5 strength throughout all major muscle groups."
I thought about the possibility of manual test, but that just does not sound like what he is saying. Thanks so much! ...
I see it both ways and don't use it much myself but it always makes me wonder which is "proper" and why?
Or is it just a matter of preference?
thank you. ...
I know this is something small and silly but she says it twice and it sounds the same way to me. It is an ER report on a pt with knee pain.
There is pain to palpation of the anterior portion of the patellar area radiating down into the s/l "empatellar" tendon area. Or inpatellar, or enpatellar.
Any ideas?
...
The limb was then carried through a range of motion and showed no impingement in the young patient, and s/l seduction with an acromioplasty was indicated with no evidence of a rotator cuff tear.
I have listened to this about 30 times and can't figure out what he is saying. There is a slight ESL so that is making it more difficult.
thanks for any help! ...
Yesterday on the job seeker's board, there was an ad looking for an orthopedic MT and it is no longer there. Could this have been a scam? Now I'm nervous because I sent my resume. I believe the contact person's name was Jana Williamson and the email address was girlscoutjkw@sbcglobal .net. Does anyone know anything about this position? TIA ...
I can't figure this out...it's an orthopedic term referable to the hip area and it sounds like "praxa grava." I know it's probably something I've heard, but the way she is saying it I can't even think of what it might be. TIA. ...
