I've been offered part-time transcription at home, working for one orthopedic surgeon. I've got over 12 years experience in many specialties, but have never done orthopedics. The interview is next week. Any advice on how best I could prepare to work in this specialty for the first time?

I have an interview w/MD-IT (orthopedics) and wondered if anyone has any knowledge about this company that they would like to share. I originally applied to them a while back, took the test, but they filled the position. They contacted me about a part-time position if I was still available and have set up an interview. If you have worked for them, do they put you in a general "pool" and you just grab whatever is next or do they give you a schedule (like a particular doctor to transcribe fo ...

have varicosities, but there is no progression....I did talk to her about swimming and cycling as other activities to maintain quad strength and keep her weight down for both her joint disease as well as risk of VSD. I can not figure out what VSD stands for. He says it very clearly. All my searches turn up ventricular septal defect, but his use of the word "distally" makes me think he is not talking about that.

Hello MT's, I am looking for a sailor sign or a saylor sign. He refers to it during a radiographic review and may or may not be related to the radiocapitellar region. However, the more I reread what he says, the more I think it is a radiographic sign or signal. Anyone?? ...

Well this whole transcription thing is not going well. Duh! With a really bad work schedule, an hour commute each way and now the threat of the hospital outsourcing our department, I am trying to think of something I can do from home besides work for peanuts for a MTSO. I am expecting my first child soon and really want to be home with him. Does anyone have a friend or family member who has successfully implemented her own business (perhaps with a transcription background) and if so, ...

Tried testing for Accentus, but my foot pedal would not play the voice file. It did absolutely nada. I could not go backward or fast forward. I was able to hear the test voice file just fine, so I went ahead and hit the tab to take the test. I transcribed 4 words, went to back up, and I couldn't. Any suggestions as to why my stinking foot pedal would not work? It works fine when I am transcribing for my present service. ...

Hello all, I have been in the transcription business now for 8 years and I have yet to find a comfortable chair! Comfort is everything when you are trying to stay in one spot to get a decent line count and when your butt is numb or tailbone hurts it's hard to do that! Could you please share what kind of chairs you all have? I am determined to buy one this weekend even if it is outrageously expensive! TIA ...

Hey fellow MTs, I don't know about any of you, but I constantly desire munchies or something of the like at my desk while I'm working. As my waistline has been increasing steadily over the past few years, I was wondering if any of you have any healthy or even somewhat healthy munchy ideas. So far I've gone from M&Ms and Hershey Kisses to peanuts and raisins, but...yeah...I wouldn't mind some other ideas. Thanks all! ...

Since it is obvious the new comp plan isn't done maybe we could give them help and point in the right direction. I would love to hear what everyone thinks, good or bad. Would you rather get paid hourly or by the line? How about a shift differential for the weekend?
