maybe this:

reticular nuclei nuclei found in the reticular formation of the brainstem, occurring primarily in longitudinal columns in three groups: medial or intermediate reticular nuclei, lateral reticular nuclei, and reticular nuclei of the raphe.

and in the mid brain area is the
formatio reticularis

Could it be red nucleus - see message

Could it be red nucleus

A little less clinical. Depends on how precise and specific your dictators are.

The midbrain is usually sectioned at the level of the superior and inferior colliculi.

A cross-section through the superior colliculus shows the red nucleus, the nuclei of the oculomotor nerve (and associated Edinger-Westphal nucleus), as well as the substantia nigra.

The red nucleus is a structure in the rostral midbrain involved in motor coordination. It comprises a caudal magnocellular and a rostral parvocellular part.

that one sounds good to me

I do alot of transcription but I also have a lot of other medical records duties as well that I have to balance. I do ...

The last pay cut they made to me was with ASR. they did not touch my transcription rate YET, but I know I read on here someone was at the top of their level as to how much they could make and they went from 0.009 to 0.003. It sounds like this was the transcription rate? Did they actually cut some of the MTs base pay to more than half? This just blows me away if they did this. I have not been on here too much on a steady basis because I get even more d ...

Really? You're going to offer $21 an a/h when it takes 3 to 4 times the dictation length to complete a report? That equates to LESS THAN THE FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE - BEFORE TAXES!! People PLEASE do not accept this!! Even if you are a newbie just starting out in transcription the absolute MINUMUM you should accept is $40 an a/h! What CLK is offering to pay is equal to off-shore wages. General transcription is not difficult at all - far easier than medical, but it ...

I finally got to the point I hated time for work. I went through 2 buyouts and it just seemed to get worse. I have watched QA people busted down due to not getting enough lines per hour, which is impossible when there's not enough work, and when most of the acute care work was 100% listens. I got ONE raise in 7 years yet the duties kept piling on and found out some were making 4.00 an hour more than me in lower positions. On days off you were expected to join meetings no m ...
