Does anyone know why when I'm typing in the message field here, the font is coming out rather light and choppy? Example: Part of the "f" letter is missing. (All the letters have an issue.)

The final product after physically submitting is showing up fine. ...

My head is throbbing and my extremities ...

The doctor dictates: The patient's back pain responds fairly well to Tylenol; in fact better than ibuprofen. He typically takes 1 Extra Strength three times a day.

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 ...

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?? ...
