Have been having a very aggravating issue lately with my left hand. There is no pain, no numbness, no temperature change issues, but rather a lack of coordination in regards to my left hand pinky and ring fingers only. When trying to put hands on home keys or use the pinky or ring finger they curl up and I almost have to physically straighten them. Not sure if started overnight or gradually just gotten worse, but has defiitely been bad for a week or so. Making me CRA ...

I could increase my speed a lot if I could find some way to make a comma with my left hand. I'm using my right hand to control the ==> cursor, and I have an ESL dictator who never says "comma" and a POS speech recognition software that never puts in commas, so I have 25 commas per report to put in.
Is there any way to designate comma (,) to another key? I have a Microsoft ergometric keyboard.
Thanks. ...

I work at a hospital that will shortly transition over to Health Management Associates. I have seen on their website they outsource all transcription work to Transcend. Right now all transcriptionists will be staying put but probably the first of year that will not be the case - can someone tell me anything about this company? Line rate, ease of making good counts, etc. Thanks. ...

Here's the text: Examination of the right hand reveals a long jagged laceration extending from the palmar surface into the web space. It is roughly 4.5 cm in length. It is full thickness and when the fingers are spread apart, the volar surface of the 1st phalange can be visualized through the wound. Volar? I'm not sure if that's what I'm hearing...it sounds like it starts with a b, like bowler or buller. I know what volar is, but does it fi ...

I have worked in orthopedics and there is a possible opportunity for a hand surgeon. Where can I find references or just common terminology for surgical notes that focus on the hands. I have stedman's references for surgery and orthopedics, but I was hoping there was some kind of guide for transcriptionist of hand surgeons. I know there are so many references out there, but whenever I google I am getting such a broad spectrum and nothing that seems to really be w ...

I am a new MT and have only been working a couple of weeks but loving it! I was just wondering if any of you seasoned MTs out there remembered having hand and wrist pain when you first started? With the increased amount of typing that I have been doing all day long every day, I find that my hands and wrists hurt when I am doing other things. I am not talking about being sore, which I expected until I get use to all the typing, but actual stabs of pain when I move them certain w ...
