tachy is a prefix so like tachyarrhythmia, you have tachypalpitations tachy meaning fast palpitation meaning a sense of feeling an irregular heart beat, could be fast and could be slow. I was corrected once years ago by a cardiologist I typed for ever since then I have always typed it tachypalpitation. you do not type tachy/arrhythmia cause tachy is a prefix so you would not type tachy/palpitation...tachyarrhthmia and tachypalpitations
I planned on going this route in order to obtain a job as an MT. Do you think this is feasible? I would also be purchasing plenty of dictation practice materials. (Practice, practice, practice!!)
Thanks in advance for your input!

I have been a clinic transcriptionist for 14 years in all specialties but have very little hospital experience and no experience with OP notes. I started a new job this week and was asked if I wanted to try hospital/OP notes so I said sure. I figured since my production and accuracy were going to be lower due to the new platform, account specs, dictators, etc., it would be as good a time as ...

I have an opportunity to do so but there aren't any scribes currently in my area and I don't know anyone who has worked as a scribe before.

I did some searching for older posts, but cannot seem to find a very accurate answer. Will someone share how the health insurance benefits are at MQ? Do you have to produce so many lines to qualify for insurance? Do they offer Rx coverage? Is it affordable? Oh, how long does a new employee have to work before obtaining insurance?
Any answer (s) is greatly appreciated. ...

CCM says no medical for PT and someone I know in HR says in CA you are eligible for medical for anything over 24 hours per week, albeit at a higher premium. Yet another person says a company doesn't have to offer medical to anything less than FT. Sigh......
