What is the limit?
I have a relatively new doctor to staff that sniffles 30 to 50 times in on assessment (psych). Snuffles them right up and gives a big swallow too! Coughs of course, and talks when he yawns. This is 50% of my work EVERY DAY.
I've already refused to transcribe what he yawns and in trouble for that. I've now told the sup the if he snuffs 5 times I'll stop and hand it back to her.
So many other things wrong with this doctors dictation. Too many to mention. But th ...
I've searched and not found what I'm looking for on the company board about Accentus. Before I test, I just wanted to know a couple of things. I would be on the acute care side.
1. Do you frequently run out of work?
2. Is it true that they don't pay for spaces, but that it is based on a 55 character count, because that pretty much evens it out and is not a problem for me.
3. Is the pay scale they gave true or just bait and switch?
4. I have no problem with ...

As a relative newbie MT, I'm not certain what "acute care" means. Does it mean basically all reports that are from doctors in the hospital setting? That is, would any hospital operative note, hospital progress note, and all discharge summaries be considered "acute care"?
I know a clinic note is basically a note by an outpatient doctor, right? And it's basically about more minor medical problems albeit could be chronic rather than "acute." ...

I completed my education with Everett Community College in their Career Step program for MT training in Dec. 2006. I have been working ever since in a rehab/therapy clinic. I am the only one who does the transcription for 7 therapists and it is a rather busy office. I have wanted to find work doing hospital transcription and certainly not from lack of trying to locate work on my part. What frustrates me is that I was told by my instructors that I should be able to find su ...

I have been an MT for 11 years and am wanting to expand my knowledge base beyond the realm of radiology. I have been applying for acute care positions but I am not even given the opportunity to test most of the time because I don't have any acute care experience. I would like to know what I would have to do in order to get some acute care experience behind me so that I can become eligible to apply for and test for acute care positions. Any information anyone has on this would be most a ...
And get hired? Opportunites are limited with clinic work, which is all I have experience with, but nobody will give me a chance. Should I apply for acute care positions anyway? Anyone MTs who only did clinic work have any stories about breaking into it? ...
