Possibly moving to AZ. Any advice for work out there? Thanks in advance. nm

The doctor (ESL) is giving a list of the patient's medications. He says one that sounds like "urine" and then goes on to state Omeprazole, Zyprexa, aspirin, and one that sounds like "liver maintain." Patient has a history of psychosis, seizure disorder, schizophrenia, and COPD. ...

The patient could not tolerate SSK or SFK due to metallic taste in mouth. Cannot seem to verify what this abbreviation could be. ...

So yeah a lot of Debbie Downers on here for sure. How bout you try this on. Remember what you have and not what you don't. I am working 3 jobs , 16 hours total a day to try and not lose my house. I am having no Christmas because I can't afford it and if you have a job, a roof over your head and a few presents under a tree how bout you be thankful for that and quit whining about what you don't have. If you have a job be thankful. If you don' ...

This wants this, this wants that, I will add to CP, but until then read emails, the thousands and thousands of emails that have been sent... COME ON!!! ...

Not sure of the spelling for either. Also, not sure if these are 2 separate medications or if they should be separated by a comma. Any help is appreciated. Also, if you are familiar, please indicate whether they are brand or generic meds. amiodipine danazopril oral ...

InterStim placement for overactive bladder. Hope someone can help. Cannot find this on Google. ...

I am doing some research on medical coding. I have looked at Andrews Coding School and Career Step. Both seem to be close but Career Step states it takes much less time to finish, which I am guessing is to get you in to their school and not reality but that is only a guess. The cost is also a huge difference. Has anyone here gone through either school and would you recomend one over the other? Any advice is appreciated. ...

I'm looking into doing online training to be a medical transcriptionist. I was wondering how much money you make once you get out of school, is it worth it? How much an hour? Also, is it easy to find a job? I really would like to work from home because I have a 5 month old daughter. Thanks! ...

Yesterday, I applied to this company. I get a reply (albeit in my junk file) saying that they want to interview me. They tell me things that I need to have (ie yahoo IM, yahoo mail etc) which I do not want to have again because I was hacked into. Today also I tried to look at the job description again to check it.(it's on another board) and it is gone. I have a bad feeling about this so if anyone else wants to apply BE CAREFUL!! ...

.....that "follows" us? ...

Management says they are considering 4 MTSOs, and that we will probably be offered jobs with whichever they choose. Mediscribes is one of the four, so we have lots of questions about Mediscribes: Has anyone else here been hired by Mediscribes because their hospital outsourced to them? Did they keep you on the same account? Did they bring you on at one rate of pay, then cut your pay later (like Nuance does)? If yes, how much later and to what rate of pay? And for any Mediscribe ...

Any recent info on this company would be appreciates, pros and cons, Thanks. ...

This doctor is going way too fast. Even when we slow him down, he is going sooooo fast. Here is the sentence we have been stuck on! The patient ___ sedation to the right. The abdomen is prepped Beta and scrubbed Beta solution and draped in usual fashion. Same doctor, same dictation: The area was checked for hemostasis, closed with 3-0 Vicryl of the subcutaneous tissue and 4-0 Vicryl ___ skin and steri-strips. Please and thank you SO very much! ...

Any potential at all? Anyone know? I'm already an MME, wondering if there's another direction I can go. ...

Lots of blanks today. Getting reports from an account I hate. Doctors aren't entering ADT information correctly. Doctors aren't caring a bit whether they are hard to understand or hear. Horrible ASR output. And 4 cents a line just isn't worth the extra effort, especially as my count is barely making minimum today because of the reasons above. My patience and tolerance is gone. I will be so glad when I am out of here! ...

I've been thinking of capitalizing on the need for data migration in the healthcare industry by starting my own healthcare data migration business. I've only just begun to research and gather information about this type of business. I don't know too much about IT (but know people who do) and I don't know too much about data migration at this point, but there seems to be an opportunity here somewhere for experienced MTs like me (and you), at least a temporary one, so I& ...

I am 3/4 through the Andrew's coding course and it is HARD!!! Sometimes I think I wish I went into nursing. A 2-year degree and you can start (in my area at least) at 30 an hour. With coding, at my local hospital, they start at 26 an hour for inpatient coders, BUT you need experience! I feel it may take me a few years to get up to the pay rate of 26/hour, and in between I will have to go back to school to learn ICD-10 and pass even more tests. AND, by the time I am ...

Have been approached about possibly working for them. I have read in the archives about them being up for sale, MTs leaving, line discrepancies, and them no longer paying for headers, footers, etc. Does anyone have any current information? TIA ...

I know you are just doing your job and that you too are being monitored and held to Nuisance's guidelines. I know it is nothing personal, but you have to understand it is only human nature when we see a post audit ding and see your name and a string of hateful words and thoughts spill forth. We are going to contest things like crazy and cuss like crazy. Nuisance has it set up this way and they are basically pitting MLS against QC/QA. Again, I know you are just doing ...

S/L "mid effect" versus HIV nephropathy. Cannot find anything that sounds like "mid effect". Anyone? Thanks in advance if you know this one! ...

There is an article about the future of MT profession, which I didn't read yet. I am almost afraid to. ...

The ADVANCE Salary Survey is available to participate in and includes asking salary information about medical transcriptionists. Link is below to participate. ...

Has anyone heard of Advance Technological Radiology? Rad approached me and the rad group is behind several hundred reports. Each time I am sent voice files to download for testing, it never works. Any other transcribers? Any office manager? Is company good? Bad? ...

It contains some very interesting information and is well worth the read. Just for instance, approximately 35% of MT respondents reported earning $35K or above. and 23.8% report $0 to 20K. Home workers across the board reportedly made slightly more than facility workers. Worth noting is wage levels for coders and cancer registrars since our field may well evolve to include both coding and data abstraction duties, as well as the issue of credentialing. (BTW, my company, ...

Anyone know if the new job posted for Advance Technological Radiology in Florida a scam? I can't find any information on search for them! Thanks. ...

I can find a lot on PTO rules, etc., but not that. thanks ...

Remember the email we got from Corporate waiving the 90-day wait period to apply for advancement of Tier III's to MME and allowing til April 30 to do it? With all the lay offs going on, anyone think a bigger axe will fall once May 1 rolls around and the Tier III's that did not do this will be let go? From the way things look with all the lay offs, maybe this is one way to hang onto our jobs. Thoughts anyone? ...
