You know those little black sponge pads that go over the round type headsets??.....

Anyone ever typed a black sponge in surgery? I listened for "lap" and "lac" but I really hear "black." Context: "We took another rim of skin about a centimeter wider inferiorly until it bled well, as well. This was controlled with electrocautery. The area was then pulse-irrigated. A medium size black sponge was placed over top of this. The more tangential excision was covered with a wound VAC, sponge that had been tangentially shaven in half, and the entire area activated after ...

Less than a year ago, the account I worked on was completely off-shored (within about 6-9 months of Nuance purchasing Transcend). I was put on a new account that supposedly had lots of work and it at least had a reasonable amount for a while. I actually liked that account (or rather set of 2 accounts) which would explain why that account went to EPIC. Today is my first day on a new set of accounts, new region, etc. We were told that our account assignments were based on o ...

Without this board I would feel even more isolated than I already do, so I would like to say thank you to all of you for the support and the laughs. It makes work life a little easier for sure. Cheers to all of us enduring life as an MT in 2014, the crazy dictators, sketchy platform, demanding supervisors, etc etc....with dignity and pride for the important work that we do. Clink....and drink! :-) ...

Today our inhouse hourly waged MTs group figured out a way to keep our work in our clinic and not being outsourced. We are going to make our present wage AND get back some of the doctors that went to outside line count charge. We put our heads together and figured it out and our director (not an MT in any way, shape, or form) is all for our plans. Now that is what I call a first step to keeping our jobs in house! We were scared to present this but it would have been worse ...

A couple of months back I posted my opinion about how things started going south for MTs when we no longer worked directly for the hospitals. I decided to put my paycheck where my mouth is and started looking. Lo and behold, practically in my own backyard I found a large hospital group who had been outsourcing everything, but then took it back in house because of poor quality and TAT. My new job starts in a few weeks. Great benefits, more leave time than I curre ...

What does "lap" stand for? Thanks. ...

I'm looking for MTs in the Round Rock/Pflugerville/North Austin area to network with. I've been in the business for 10+ years and just don't really know any MTs in my immediate area. I'd love to hear from you! ...

Hundreds of jobs out of TAT this morning across the board. Betcha the clients are getting a little bit cranky. While you are holding your employees to unobtainable standards of perfection to perfect your VR so you can get rid of us and send the meager rest to India, you will have run this company into the ground first. Don't the clients penalize you when reports are late? Make sure you pass that loss on to us, the MTs. Don't dare take respon ...

Somebody help me out... what headsets do you use??? One's that MM supply or your own?? If your own what kind?? ...

My headsets are getting old and I need another headset. I like the kind that are like a stethoscope that fits into the ears. I know I dont like the aluminum one because the sound is muffly. Any suggestions for a headset that fits into the ears that doesnt break all the time and has very good sound. ...

I transcribe and edit what I actually do hear, but get QA feedback from another planet. I am not a newbie MT, though new on my current account. I figure they must use secret magical headsets to hear what they do. Often QA isn't even on the same page with each other even on account specs. So, it must be the magical headsets. Does anyone know where I can get the kind QA uses? ...

Hi, Folks, So, my company sweetly sent me a dictaphone stethascope-style headset, but it's really uncomfortable for me. Can you recommend a more comfortable, good-sounding headset that you might have found? Thank you, thank you, thank you! ...

I have been transcribing and editing for over 11 years and have ALWAYS used Spectra headsets, but having recently switched jobs where their platform could only be downloaded onto my personal computer and not my work computer, I've found that I'm not getting enough volume with the Spectras. I'm using earbuds right now but they wear out fast so I'm wondering if there are any headset models out there that any of you find to be excellent with clearity and volume, and that aren� ...

They tested this headset in real doctors' offices with real MTs who had nothing to do withtheir company.I cannot tell you how impressed I ...

Dear Friends: I seem to have small ear canals/openings and because of that my Spectra headsets broke because I have to push them in too far and they will not fit and now the copper wire disoldged and now I am looking to buy another pair. I went on the Dictation Warehouse site and talked to a rep there and he said that a good headset for people with small ear canals/openings is Grundig swing phone USB PC headset; have any of you heard of this bra ...
