Has anyone noticed that CCMs don't have 800 numbers anymore? They expect us to absorb the cost of a long distance call to talk to our boss. What us up with that? ...

I've been keeping a Notepad document running of all my job numbers in order to confirm Fiesa feedback (sometimes they get the wrong MT, had that happen 3 times so far, so you need to check that if a correction is not familiar to you) or whatever issues might come up. But occasionally I forget to even log a report, and I realized that I can double-check via Metrics as well as with my ID and date on Search Dictations, so why bother? Just wondering if some don't bother with this and ...

I know we should type the sentence below as: Advair 250/50 1 puff twice a day but to me, that looks like it could be confusing when the dosage and amount of med are so close together. I know we're not supposed to do it like this but this is what I type instead: Advair 250/50 one puff twice a day. Am I committing a horrible crime here? ...

My actual ASR lph and what they say I could do if there wasn't any "inactive" time is usually almost double. I have no idea how I can humanly close that gap. And yes, I am not using the dreaded mouse. I put my nose to the grind stone with absolutely no inactivity due to doing anything other than edit, and yet, I still come up with the lph they report I am doing rather than what they think I should be able to do without any inactivity. Interesting that this time they had a mouse click re ...

Maybe an odd question but do any of my fellow Synernet MTs know, even approximately, how many of us there are? Seems they are always hiring yet we're always still in MOT. I've been here a while and names on IM are always changing. I guess I don't really NEED to know but it's one of those things that seems to be some big secret, we're supposed to be a "team" but on what team do the players not even know how many are on the team much less not know anyone else on the so-cal ...

jobs today!!! WTH!!! ...

Theo-24 200 mg is dictated. As you can see, this puts 2 numbers side by side. In this instance, is it okay to type this way or do I type differently. What page in the BOS 2 is this type of issue referenced? Thanks ...

I have the BOS second edition. My interpretation of the chapter on numbers is that this would be correct: The patient will be seen in two days. In my client profile, it does not state any specs regarding numbers, but QA changes this type of thing to "2 days." Can someone please help? Has this changed with the BOS third edition? Thanks in advance. ...

I was always taught to spell out numbers at the beginning of a sentence. Does this apply even if that number is technical and larger than ten? For example, would you type "25-mm sections were obtained." -- OR -- "Twenty-five-mm sections were obtained." Thanks in advance. ...

I have been an MT for many years doing the same work for the same company. Now, all of a sudden, I am out of a job and starting to test for companies. I think I have picked up lots of bad habits and also conformed to the client's wishes. Now, I feel as if I don't know anything for sure. I have reviewed my test many times and find myself going back and changing things, especially regarding numbers. For example 5 to 6 years ago, or is it 5-6 years ago or is ...

What are the best headphones for hearing numbers? The numbers are getting mushy and slowing me down... help! ...

Can anyone help with any tips on numbers? I work in speech recognition as most of us do now and I am having the hardest time with numbers. The account I am on has high ESL also, but even without that, I can't seem to get values correct 100% of the time to save my life. Examples are hearing a 0 instead of an 8 such as 130 instead of 138 or hearing a 2 instead do a 3 or even in platelets thinking I am hearing a value of 300,000 versus 200,000. If it is a profile that doesn't make sense ...

I've heard for maybe 10 years now that right now, 2010, is when vast numbers of MTs were supposed to hit retirement age and quit work. What is retirement age? I don't want to retire, but when does a person really need to retire even if they don't want to? ...

A doctor says MTs are supposed to spell out all numbers and not use numerals. Now I cannot use numerals for anything except patient age. How would you type "3-1/2 to 4 weeks"? That's how BOS does it, but Mr. Doctorpants here wants it spelled out. Would "three and a half to four weeks" be correct or does it need hyphens? ...
