lofamic position? - LHMT
Posted: Sep 27, 2011
This is a GYN note and dictation sounds like "lofamic position" for examination. Not sure how to spell this and can't find it anywhere. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Lithotomy position maybe? This position is used with procedures/examinations involving the pelvis.
I know from previous posts on here that that job isn't the big thing MQ was making it out to be (horrible editing pay, etc). BUT...do you guys at least have work to do, whether it is typing or editing? I am just an MT and I run out of work daily. If I had become an MME as well, would I have at least been making a little money, or are you guys running out of work too, no matter what?
Thanks. ...
I just wrote a very long post, but decided to minimalize it because I feel very on edge with my company and I'm doing the absolute best I can.
If you know the hospital that hired your company is not happy with the work that is being produced, and you are able to see glaring errors in other people's work, would you say something to management or keep it to yourself?
This is MY job too, and if the errors continue I am afraid the hospital will go elsewhere, meaning my job is gone as wel ...

Are there any MMEs out there who regret having become an MME? And if you become an MME, are you able to go back to just MT status if you decide you do not like it?
I am trying to understand how this is considered a pay boost and if it is worth testing for.
Did you see a significant increase in pay, a slight increase, no increase at all, or did you actually lose money?
Thanks. ...
Hi,
Can somebody kindly let me know if any company is hiring for QA? I have 5 years exp in QA and 3 in MT. Ever since the smaller company I work for was purchased by Nuance my position has gone to bleep. It took a few months but week after week there was a change for the worst and now I am about out of work. Thanks for any help!

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has heard anything back on the POC positions? I have written the contact on that at least half a dozen times and so far just ignored!!! I was just wondering if I am the only one or if I just got lost on the wayside half a dozen times... Thanks! ...
The following nasty gram was sent to all independent contractors from the company owner. I'm just curious to know . . . how many ICs treated like this?
Hi everyone - I wanted to touch base with all of you immediately, as we have a very serious problem. Aside from a very few MTs who have notified us in advance that they would be out, we have many MTs who are not working their agreed upon shift and it has put us in a serious hole. If there is work in your pool for the physi ...
Considering a position with KeyStrokes. However, I'm wondering how QA is with grammar the stuff. I'm getting QA'd to death where I'm at now. I'll change things according to how QA says it should be, but the next time it's still not right.......one time it's use a semi-colon, next time it's put in a comma, next time it's start a whole new sentence, etc., etc. I'm pulling my hair out! I'm getting so tired of changing things only t ...
I am a current student at the MSU of Technology. I am currently looking for a position in Medical Transcription or Medical Billing. I am very fustrated. PLEASE HELP!! ...
I need some advice about a position that I am being offered. It is an IC position. They want Tu-Sat or Sun-Thurs and 1500 lines per day. This is supposedly 70% VR and the rest is straight typing. I know that techniqually they aren't supposed to require weekend work and line requirements for IC, but how is the best way to negotiate this and still get the job? I hate the job that I am currently doing and don't make enough money at it. I usually do work ...
Again, I am interested in the position posted for the Orthopedic transcription. The ad says will train. The days of the week are perfect. I am semi-retired preparing to work out of my home after my husband retires next year. I have 34+ years of psychiatric transcription and I am familiar with medical terminology. I recently completed the training course through Career Step.
Please advise. ...
Yesterday on the job seeker's board, there was an ad looking for an orthopedic MT and it is no longer there. Could this have been a scam? Now I'm nervous because I sent my resume. I believe the contact person's name was Jana Williamson and the email address was girlscoutjkw@sbcglobal .net. Does anyone know anything about this position? TIA ...

I graduated from a medical transcription course last April. I still haven't found a position. I have tried everything! I have sent out resumes, flyers, letters to Dr. offices. I have applied at several of the companies online, and everyone wants experienced MT's, taking a course isn't enough! Any ideas? ...

Left shoulder injury
Supine exam demonstrates a s/l knee RA position of approximately 80 degrees..."
Does not sound like it makes sense (knee arthritis in the shoulder?). It has to be something else, but I cannot make any other words out and it clearly sounds like knee RA position. Any help? ...
Anyone else stunned by the incredibly lengthy list of job duties for a listing for a Sup on a certain website? It was so long it gave me a headache.... They want ALL of that for only $1400 every 2 weeks! Good grief, I make more than that transcribing. ...

I work for a service on two different account. On one, if everything is working right, I make $4.00 per hour. Much more than half my time is spent doing things they require that we get paid nothing for. We do NOT get paid for our keystrokes, or I would be making more than double my hourly rate. I spend several minutes filling out everything I have to document, then only a few seconds transcribing, then back to documenting the next job that is only a few seconds long.
The other account with ...
I have a full time employee position wtih another company. Beginning Sept 3, I will start IC for 3 days out of the week for 3-4 hours. It pays 0.09 cpl with spaces using DocQscribe. I figure in 3-4 hours I will probably do 800 lines as I will probably work 3 hours. Being that it is late in the year, do you think the extra income from Sept to December would make a huge difference in my taxes, or should I send taxes in to the IRS, and will I have to file as self ...
