I always thought that the proper term was oriented. I have one doctor that always says orientated. In looking it up, apparently it is the British version of oriented. Do you all transcribe as dictated when they orientated? For some reason that just grates on my ears, but I don't want to change it if it's an acceptable version. ...

I have never been able to run much above 150 lph average doing VR for my company. It is so horrid, I can usually type it quicker. I cannot even imagine how anybody is doing 400-500 lph average. Just pulling in the jobs, listening through patient information, filling in date of service, consulting physicians and such, fixing the ASR dictation and uploading the job -- there is no way on this earth it will ever happen at my company. I need a new job apparently. ...

Is it just me or my region but the only difference I have seen in the upgrade is the doctor's data base and being able to number with the numbering function. I have yet to see the headings column come up on the left with a job or have the option on the top that says "type headings as dictated." When I try to use the alt-H for inserting headers it it is still coming up in the middle of the screen and it is not showing, "client preferred headings." Pretty much anything that ...

treated as such. If you do nothing to change a bad situation, the bad situation will never change. But I guess some, like my DS, thrive on the drama of poor me, I can do nothing to help myself, please feel sorry for me. And others, like me, hate drama, hate being treated bad, and refuse to stand by and let it continue. I will not let a MTSO rule my life to the point of draining my bank account, monopolizing my time and stomping on my self esteem. Why would I stay in a situation ...

CEO, COO, President, etc., came to you and said that management was taking a pay cut along with you? Has anyone ever been told that their office staff or other support personnel have been doing without raises or taking pay cut with the bad economy? Do they have mandatory reduction in hours when things are slow as there is no money coming in? I'm just curious how much the nature of the beast affects everybody in a company versus the MTs and what the reasoning is. Why ...

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 ...

Job hunting -:( not fun. I see some places paying 8 and 4 cpl, seems to be the going rate but my question is - some places are IC and some have employee status. Other than the obvious benefits, why would you want to be an IC? I was self-employed with my husband years ago and it was a nightmare. Had to pay $5000 for self-employment tax just to begin with.

I've only done straight transcription in the past and just got hired by a company who apparently does both SR and transcription...can anyone give me info on their experiience as far as if I will make the same amount doing editing for SR as I would transcribing?

Before, she said we're not supposed to take off and use PTO to go to the doctor, though of course it's okay for them to do tha ...

I am just wondering if most companies pay less per line if you work part time. I have recently talked with my supervisor about possibly going part time (600 lines per day), and she told me if I chose to go part time, my pay per line would go down to 6 cpl from 7. I can't imagine making less per line than I already do. My skill level and quality will not decrease, so why would my pay? ...

On both my Win XP and Vista computers I had tremendous slow downs and freezes while using Internet Explorer. In checking the Task Manager/Processes it showed several iexplore.exe files running and getting bigger, up to 500,000K.
