Is anyone familiar with all the Carol Buck books for coding certification training? I'm attempting to go through her 2010 Step-By-Step Medical Coding book and workbook along with the online "course" through Elsevier that accompanies the text. My plan is to finish this and then move on to her The Next Step Advanced coding book and workbook, and then go through her 2010 Online Internship. Here is what the publisher says about the "internship."
Get the practice you nee ...
Hello. I was just wondering if anyone has experience with the above mentioned book? I was planning on getting the work book as well. I also wanted to know what other books I would need. I was going to get the 2013 addition for all books needed. I don't have the money to take a full course right now, but I would like to "get my feet wet" and see if this is the right field for me. Thanks. ...
Lately I have been doing a lot of transcription for some docs in some ski areas in Colorado so I am running into some terms I have never heard (not necessarily medical) or have thought how to spell. Today, a pt "tacoed" a rail. Would you type it that way, or taco'd~or another way? ...
This is a pt in her 20s being seen for a sore throat. Hx of asthma, vertigo, migraines.
Only medication on her med list s/l "IM". That is it. Goes immediately to allergies from there. Any clue what this could mean? Nothing before or after to indicate an injection so it is not intramuscular. Is IM an abbrievation for a medication of some kind that I am not aware of and can not find? In short-HELP! ...
I had 2 op notes from 08/06, then a discharge summary from 08/08. I was getting all excited, thinking there was backlog and I was going to get work this Monday morning, then poof -- NJA. Strange. Why 3 old jobs and then nothing? Overflow maybe? Guess I could check the backlog, but I really forgot how and always seems pointless. Never anything there. I am typing jobs the second they are dictated, then sit and wait for the next one. Sure that wo ...
this is so weird. I went into DocQmanage to get status for my BOB and come to find out, there's hardly anybody working. The hospitals I work on have at best only 1-2 people on them and they are so far behind!! Did everyone quit or something? ...
There is definitely something weird with work flow this week. Here it is Thursday and the entire west coast region has almost no work at all. The account that I work on that ALWAYS has work has *2* little reports as I type this. Just going down the list, I'm amazed - the ENTIRE west coast only has 400 reports. Really? What's going on this week? ...
Has any body every noticed how you find companies that seem interested in you and want to hire you, but if you ask them to look up stuff it takes them forever?I had this one company who was interested in me but when I told them I use a mac computer, which I realize now was my mistake, I get the attitude "See you later"? ...
Hi all,
I have kind of a weird question. Does anyone else have trouble finding a new job other than MT? I am looking at clerical type work again as I cannot stand being an MT anymore, working from home, NJA, not enough money to support myself, etc.
Anyway, I have been applying to any and all jobs FT or PT that are not gas stations or bartending. I've applied everywhere practically within 40 miles from my home in any type of job out there and yet either hear nothing at all, which really ir ...
I just sent a document to my Hewlett Packard printer and set it for 3 copies. The first copy was fine. The second and third copies looked like a new language. On further inspection, it was obvious that each letter of the alphabet and number was offset by one. In other words, a became b, b became c, 1 became 2, etc. When I sent a request to print just one more copy at a time, it printed just fine. This is undoubtedly the strangest thing that I've ever had ...
Just looked at my e-mail inbox. There is an e-mail stating the following:

I did NOT open it. Did anyone else get this? Figuring it is not a good one but rather something to blow out/up my computer. ...
I have some .wav files I need to load into Express Scribe for a potential placement with a company for school. They will not play in windows media player, or Express Scribe. In ES it says "Opening audio file failed." After this I even downloaded other .wav files for school and they work and play just fine. I am totally at a loss as to why these particular files won't play. Another student said they are working fine for her. Any ideas? ...
I have noticed this a few times now. About halfway into a report, when I hit ctrl+shift+m to jump to where the text is, the cursor goes to the very end of the document. Whenever I hit ctrl+shift+m after that, it goes directly to the end, never to where the text/audio is synched. Is there a command that makes this happen that I am doing accidentally? Anyone know how to reverse this. It is soooo annoying to not be able to jump directly to where I want to be!!
Thanks. ...
Hey guys - i got this Linkedin message from this guy - don't know what to think of it and wanted another opinion. I am feeling i should ignore it and that is spam of some sort - any thoughts?

This is my gyne oncologist and he is very clearly saying "the patient underwent a TDH/BSO." Not a TLH or a TAH, a TDH. I don't find confirmation of that anywhere. Anyone hear of this??? ...
Hi guys, I will go to the local UE office this week and check this out but I was just curious right now..does anyone know if there's any special funding for those who lost jobs due to technology? LOL I know that sounds odd but there are so many programs now and I'm not even sure what to ask for. See, I just got laid off due to voice WRECK and the doctors doing their own editing.
I will be drawing unemployment but I am not sure how long I can get it. I am going to go to ultrasound tech ...

Before the crash, I was in the middle of a report when an ad for an animal shelter came on, encouraging adopting a pet. It played over and over, drowning out the dictator's voice. I thought I had triggered it somehow, but couldn't figure out how to get rid of it. I tried to ignore it, but it was hard to hear the dictation, so I hit "Abandon." Suddenly, the overlapping voice stopped. Yay! I was able to cancel the abandon and finish the report. S ...
background. It seems to happen when I am typing fast and maybe the keys get going to fast and then I hear this loud buzz so not sure what that is. It isnt all the time just every now and then. Rather difficult to explain. ...
I am sure these are closely guarded as they would let MTs actually communicate with each other..and that would be a no no.. MTs might actually band together ...
