Trops or tropes short for troponins

Doctor says what sounds like "mys and trops" or myos and trops, tests for patient in heart failure. I think trops is probably troponins, but can't figure out what the other one is. Thanks ...

For the life of me, I cannot figure out an easy shortcut for the word hypotension. I have tried a few things but they conflict with my other shortcuts i.e. hypothyroidism. Brain dead today. Can you suggest something? TIA ...

What are considered "short reports" according to line counts? It seems to me I have been typing a lot of them lately. Today, I have edited around 20 reports with only 1 being over 30 lines. This is typical on my account, but I am new so not sure if that has something to do with it or not. I have a pretty high requirement to hit, but with at this rate, it is pretty slow going. Is this pretty common? Thanks. ...

How can I get a short cut created for -year-old. I used to know how to do this but have forgotten. Tyvm. ...

When you are a little short on hours, why do they tell you to add some and what do you put for a reason? ...

I would love to have just 1 stinking report that I didn't have to renumber every list in that report. Of course it has to be done manually which just slows me down! Mission accomplished. Short but sweet, I'm done. Happy New Year all. At least we know we have one constant in our lives other than having to pay taxes and die. ...

or did I figure wrong? Is Transcend holding a week back? I am glad I saw this because I would have been unpleasantly surprised come pay day on 2/12. ...

I haven't visited MT Stars in quite a while, but I noticed tonight some postings asking whether $10 or $11 per hour for editing VR transcription is reasonable. NO! IT IS NOT REASONABLE! Any seasoned, experienced medical transcriptionist who lowers themselves to edit for half of what they should be making as MTs is insane. We are destroying our own profession by not standing up for ourselves, our expertise, our experience, our professionalism. Not me. I'll ...

What is the short cut to bring the ADT info into the typign screen. I seem to have deleted it somehow and forget the short cut to get it back again or the function to use. ...

On DQS does anyone know how to move the short forms to another company that also uses DQS. Can you send me the information if you have it. ...

Most of the time if a report is a minute or 2 long, that's no big deal. But I just had a report that was all of 20 seconds. I spent more time in the ADT screen (verifing and adding in things the clinet wants) than I did proofing it (ASR report like always), and it ended up being a measly 2 lines. Wow, I just made a whole 8 cents. That will almost get me a package of Ramen noodles. Thanks for letting me vent. ...

So many of us have been "gobbled" up by Nuance in the last few years. So many of us are transcriptionists with specialized, honed skills, and those skills are valuable. Do not be deceived by a company who devalues your worth and causes self-doubt and continues to tout itself as the leader in the industry. I believe there are many facilities, doctors, clinics, etc, who do not want their work run through a computer to be deciphered. It may be time-consuming and seem like a fruitful task, but if yo ...

My wife just went on short-term disability and so far has received a check for 3 days that is peanuts. I'm getting zero help from benefits/PR on this and Hartford is really pathetic. I know you get 50 percent, but 50 percent of what? She's a Level III MT. I calculated last years gross wage, divided it by 50%, divided by 26 so that should be the STD but I'm not sure what Hartford considers a base wage? Our attorney is curious too. Any one experience STD through Hartford/MMod ...

My shorthand stopped working, I tried to rename my file like changing a letter like the instructions said, but nothing works. I now need something very quickly to help me out with work today. Is there anything that is easy and quick and simple that you all know works well with windows? ...

Hi there, Can anyone please tell me the short cut so I can just creat an autotext for -year old patient. I am working in Word and every time I try to do this with the hyphen, a space is left between the age of the patient and the hyphen ie: 27 -year old, instead of 27-year old. I have forgotten the trick to do this. Thanks, kdm ...

:-) Was solicited ASR Proficiency training/mentoring if I had not already had it. Loudly and clearly, I let my TSM know that I had had it, and the mentor was not able to help me as she could see that I was not problem. I let her know full well that my LPH depends almost entirely on the ASR. ...

Unfortunately, this week I sustained a tib-fib fracture and will need surgery. Has anyone had to deal with Cigna and short-term disability? Just want to know what I can expect. Thanks ...

I got switched to a new POD and went from accounts with long reports to one with really short ones, like at least half of them are less than a minute. Between downloading and uploading and time spent in ADT, I'm struggling with my line count and I'm wondering if anyone has good tips for how to approach these short reports in order to maximize line count. Please only respond with real tips if you actually happen to know any from experience (sorry, find a different job doe ...

Because it's so short I got 90%. There is no coming back from that. No way to get back on the grid even if I got a slew of 100% reports in a row. And now that they wait 2 weeks instead of 1 to count your QA, this will follow me for 2 weeks instead of 1. Tell me, WHAT is my motivation now to continue doing well for the next 2 weeks? As a side note, I do NOT agree with that major error. Oh, it was a typo alright but it didn't affect patient ...

Hello there fellow MTs. I know that there is a short to delete a sentence to the next period in word, but I can't find it by googling it and I am wasting way too much time just pushing buttons. If anyone knows this short and would like to share I would really really appreciate it. Since I am asking for a short, I will share the one I use the most. Ctrl+bksp = Delete last word Ctrl+delete= Delete next word Thank you for any help! ...

I have done the tutorials and been doing ASR for years and didn't know about the alt-K to break and capitalize. Maybe this old dog could learn one or more new tricks. Teach me everybody!! What are the best hot keys that really work? ...

Just got the e-mail that DQS is going down at 9:00 p.m. EST tonight for about 20 minutes. Don't lose your work!! ...

Worked as an IC 20+ years. Now having to work for a service. The account I do rarely has a dictation longer than one minute. It takes It takes a LOT longer to research, log demographics than it does to actually transcribe. At home I did 1200 to 1800 lines a day. With this account I can't even do one third of that! The doctors apparently have no idea that their MTs are in different parts of the US, that we have to research the spelling of doctor's names, counties, cities, faciliti ...
