Ortho - Easy to learn? - MommaBear


Posted: Mar 17, 2010

Hello!  I have been contacted to do some ortho backup which I have never done.  Just wondering how difficult this is to learn.  They tell me all docs are pretty good dictators.  TIA.

Every specialty is as easy to learn as you make it - Ima MT

All it is is a specialized vocabulary list.

So ortho is as easy or hard as you make it.

I do mostly ortho transcription and I love it. This is the first kind of account I had when I first started transcribing and I did not have much of a problem learning it all. You should be fine.

I've been doing ortho off and on, more on than off, - for the last 34 years

so I actually find it VERY easy. I was almost a rank beginner when I started in that office (had only done some general medicine and OB-GYN up to then) and I don't remember having any trouble--other than with that sodding TYPEWRITER!!

(You won't have that problem, I trust....)

Easiest specialty of all - with more resources for help

Need To Learn New Accounts Or Learn DEP
May 26, 2011

Just got an e-mail today that we have to learn new accounts with new account specifics, in addition to working on our present account. They are sending our present account to India, but still keeping some of it. I don't know which would be easier - volunteering for a new account or learning DEP. I was told that if we start to type on DEP, they will have to send us a new computer with new programs, because we can't have Cornerstone and DEP on the same computer (probably).  I did a ...

I just can NOT make out what the dictator is saying! A more experienced MT will probabl ...

Go stand somewhere in public.  Maybe connect up with Occupiers in your area.  Just stand there with your sign.  Have a friend take a pic,and post it online.  Maybe stand outside a local hospital or other health care clini ...

Procyte and Prosight I know that Prosight is a multivitamin.  I found both on WebMD's drugs and meds A-Z.  There was no information on Procyte.  It was just listed as Procyte Top.  I was not aware that there was a Procyte until earlier today.  The doctor dictated "And be careful you use the correct one, but I am unsure of the spelling."  That confused me a bit, so I did some research and the only place that I found any mention of Procyte was on WebMD.  An ...
