The "o'clock positions" with hyphens has me questioning - myself in this one? Correct?
Posted: Apr 17, 2012
There is a focus of superficial squamous cell carcinoma at the 7:30- and 9:00-o'clock position, as well as the 6:00 to 7:30 position. Of note, the 6:00 to 7:30 position was a focus of the deep margin. The skull vertex and bone margins were also positive at that time.
PATHOLOGY: Further peripheral skin biopsies located at 10:30 to 12:00; 9:00 to 10:30; 4:30 to 6:00; 3:00 to 4:30; 1:30 to 3:00; and12:00 to 1:30 were all negative for carcinoma. The 7:30 to 9:00 o'clock biopsy showed a focus of superficial invasive squamous cell carcinoma and a background of actinic keratosis
I never use hyphens with o'clock - hmmm
[ In Reply To ..]The BOS does not use hyphens with o'clock positions.
With something like 10:30 to 12 o'clock, that is how I would write it for clarity (because I don't use the word o'clock after 10:30).
No hyphens - NM

And in case it wasn't clear in the other answers... - jld
[ In Reply To ..]You certainly don't put the ":00" AND "o'clock" after the numbers. Yes, for anything ending with ":30" you use the colon and 30 (Seven-thirty or seven-thirty-o'clock position is still just 7:30 position), but not for o'clock. "Nine-o'clock" is 9 o'clock, NOT 9:00 o'clock. Hope that makes sense.

LPH On VR With Nuance/questioning Validity.
Jun 27, 2012
For people who switched from the Webmdex platform and are now with Nuance, how many LPH for VR are you producing? I am very experienced and 200 LPH is the absolute tops I can do. We are getting emails that the highest VR produced right now is 380 LPH. I can't go any faster because I can't make the voice go fast enough. On a day when I have great dictators, with little editing, a straight hour of VR, I have tested myself and around 200 LMH is as fast as I could ...
Hyphens?
Sep 13, 2010
I have a question about whether or not I should use hyphens in the words up-to-date in this sentence, "She is not up-to-date on her screenings." My school was strict about when to and not to use hyphens in multi-word phrases, so I'm a little paranoid about how to manage these types of things in an actual job. ...

Over Thinking Hyphens
Sep 29, 2013
I have stumped myself by thinking too much about what is an adjective and when does a noun act like an adjective. I'm very clear on something like short arm cast not being hyphanated (each word is a noun), but what about needle tip placement? Is there supposed to be a hyphen there? Fluoroscopy was used to confrm needle tip placement OR Fluoroscopy was used to confrm needle-tip placement. I would appreciate some feedback about it. ...

CTL Positions Being Eliminated?
Nov 05, 2009
Heard a rumor that the CTL positions are being eliminated around the 15th. Perhaps this is a question you should ask your CCMs/area directors? Not sure if it is true but when asked specifically, it was not denied but there is something brewing around the 15th. Seems like all CTLs will be moved to the MME positions and the CCMs will assume the CTL duties. Sounds like another shake up at the Q which always happens around the holidays. Wonder if ...

Are There Any IC Positions With 24-hour TAT?

Transolutions Few Positions Available
Jun 02, 2011
When I spoke with the recruiter, it sounded like there were just a few positions available. Yet, another recruiting ad showed up on Tuesday evening at another major MT recruiting website. So, I'm wondering, is the recruiter using the old trick of sounding like I'd better jump and grab one of those "few" positions, or did a bunch of people who were already hired suddenly quit? I wonder why Transolutions has had so many recruiting ads lately. Again, I was told that there were only ...

Are They All Editing Positions?

Just wandering if there are any employee positions that aren't just editing out there. I feel like I am not growing as an MT doing nothing but editing. Unless I choose to just edit and accept this is the new norm at 3 cents a line, eventually getting my own voice recognition software for the future for any accounts I want to get on my own. Any thoughts? I am wandering if this is something I just need to hop onboard for. Editing for nationals doesn't pay anything ...

Are There Any True IC Positions?
Jul 22, 2013
I am looking for a true IC position where I can work when I am available due to being handicapped. I sometimes have some very bad days and can't get out of bed as a result of it and I keep losing jobs. I am also wondering if there are any companies that pay MTs what they're worth on VR. I feel like we do twice the work for less pay. It's a lot harder if you ask me, especially if you have an account full of doc's who suck at dictation and sound more like auctioneers than a do ...
