mother versus Mother - thought I knew
Posted: Aug 08, 2012
Have things changed or . . . I thought that you capitalized m in mother if mother could be replaced with an actual name of the person and small m otherwise. Keep getting it changed by QA and it is not in the account specifics.
Also is it not q.p.m. and q.a.m. or has that changed also? Is this one of the dangerous abbreviations?
Thanks for your help. I am so confused sometimes. So I change things the way QA corrected them and then get notes back as to why I am not consistent in the way I do things.
Can you give an example or two? - Unclear

My mother.
How are you today, Mother?
She is Mother Teresa.
You're correct about the capitalization of "mother." I think q.p.m./q.a.m. are still - okay to use.

Mother's Day
May 09, 2015
I truly hope that if Sunday, Mother's Day, is NOT a scheduled day for you, that you DO NOT work it voluntarily or because you've been told it's MOT. Believe me, those HDSM's are not going to be working it, maybe "checking in" for a short while because they "have to," but they WILL NOT be working that day like they're expecting you to. Be good to yourselves. Whether you're a mom or not, you deserve the day off. Don't work! Happy Mother's Day to all of y ...

Happy Mother’s Day To All.
May 08, 2011
With the transcription industry ever changing b___ s___ with paycuts, outsourcing, VR and big corporations taking over, being a mother is the most important job some of us have. The only good benefits we have today as transcriptionists are we can be home with our children and we can avoid the gas guzzling drive to work. So remember do not let the industry bring us down as we are mothers in this hard time for transcriptionists. ...
Mother's Day Message To All MTSO
May 11, 2014
To all of the MTSO celebrating Mother's Day with your Mother. As you honor her in whatever way, think about all the mothers that today are working because of the decisions you made to take their previous jobs. They are at the keyboards working for a pittance of pay as you enjoy the profits they make for you. Would you want YOUR MOTHER treated the way you treat them? How many sons and daughters are missing out on their mother today because of you? How many child ...

End Point Versus Endpoint And Hand Grip Versus Handgrip
Mar 13, 2012
Two words that come up often for questioning. These are strictly used in an orthopedic setting. Stedman's and Dorland's list end point and hand grip HOWEVER the office transcription manager, girl is asking for me to correct this to endpoint and handgrip. She is only basing this on what an old medical transcription company she used to work for had her typing. I would rather base it on the medical reference. The doctors are not even aware this has come up. She is ...

VR Versus SR
Feb 20, 2010
I am not familiar with VR and have never used it, but I understand that there is a difference between voice recognition (VR) and speech recognition (SR). I am told the difference is that with VR the program has to be trained because it goes by voice only, sort of like us getting used to different dictators when we start a new account. SR is supposedly different in that it goes by speech alone, meaning I guess, just the actual words dictated and is not affected by voice differences. Does ...
BNP Versus BMP
Jun 08, 2010
Hi, I have a dictator going over the patient's hypertension. At the end of the section he says (BMP/BNP) was unremarkable. I have no values, so I don't know if it was a single test or multiple. If he's talkign about hypertension, I would think that BNP would be feasible, but it really sounds more like BMP. Any help is great! ...

5 Out Of 5 Versus 5/5

I've been marked wrong on QA because I typed "5 out of 5" (as dictated) instead of transcribing it as 5/5 (which I would have typed if the doc had said "5 over 5"). What is your opinion on this? Any proof one way or the other in BOS? I haven't been able to find it ... ...
CCA Versus CCS
Dec 20, 2011
I have a question for you coders out there. I decided I want to make a career change from MT to coding. My question is, is it realistic to expect to pass the CCS exam after completing Andrews or other online schools? I looked into AHIMA's courses they recommend on their website and they only train you to take the CCA exam (Career Step and Kaplan). I want to be a CCS and not waste my money training for CCA. I don't see job listings for C ...

ER Versus ED
Aug 12, 2012
When physician clear dictates "emergency deparment" why does ASR continue to put "emergency room?" I suspect it is because ED has fewer characters than ER, hence, less pay, and this is easily overlooked if one is not focused. I see it so much that I have an expansion to change "room" to "department." Anyone have any other ideas why this is? ...

A Versus An
Mar 14, 2014
I know when in doubt defer to what the physician prefers. But suddenly we have one doctor replacing "an" with "a," and is just doesn't sound right. I was always taught to us a when followed by a consonant and an when followed by a vowel. Apparently this is incorrect, the rule is a when followed by word that "sound" like a consonant and an when followed by words that "sound" like a vowel. See the rule below: Citibank is a MNC Bank Citibank is an MNC Bank The correct ...

VR Versus Transcription
Nov 12, 2009
I was just wondering if anybody is getting transcription anymore. Throughout this whole entire pay period I have gotten nothing but VR, which makes it extremely difficult to make decent money unless you spend 24 hours a day online. I am wondering if they are going VR with almost every dictator in order to screw us out of more pay. This company really knows how to screw with you. ...
ASR Versus MT Work
Aug 14, 2010
after a week straight of NJA...as well as the last 2 months or so of sporadically getting that dreaded message (!)...I had had it. Had sent numerous messages with very brief and cryptic responses as well as often not even getting work flow updates, which were commonplace with other CCMs.... spoke to new CCM who was 'aghast' that ASR was not in my pool. She felt that was the sole reason I was getting no work (???) Anyway, now getting work.....ALL ASR...better than nothing ...
