In the musculoskeletal part of this physical exam, the dr. is dictating that the patient has "long-term deformities with a swan neck of the 2nd finger of the left hand a (s/l jacuze) appearance of the 3rd finger..."

I am attempting to write my Hardship letter.

I am struggling with this and have to have it submitted, signed and dated by Friday. Can anyone who is articulate help me please? Here is what I started with. I will take out company names and leave blanks. The attorney who read it said people wil ...

The doctor is explaining the pt's ambulation due to lumbosacral spondylosis for which he is doing radiofrequency ablation for. It s/l he is saying "list."

The phrase is She will be evaluated by PT, OT and speech therapy, corrected to She will be evaluated by PT, OT and Speech Therapy. I thought it was only capitalized in when followed by a proper name like Montana Central Hospital Speech Therapy. Thanks. ...

Found this at www usajobs gov. It is a very good description of what coding is. You can see how challenging the duties are. The salary ranges are good, too. It's a VA position, where coders are GS 6/7/8. Upward promotion requires a year as a 6, a year as a 7, then you're an 8 if you learn what you should at each level. They also have positions at the 9/11 and higher levels associated with or supervising coding. A perform ...

My quality has gone down since the clinic that I work at started this. We use Dictaphone Extext. Anyway, I must be going too fast or something because I seem to miss things.

She said yes, but I still am making mistakes and she will send me my reports back shortly. The only thing else I know t ...

Hello, I am a new MT and learned transcription from cassette tapes and Express Scribe. Can someone tell me what voice recognition is and how is it used in transcription? ...

we have dictators who compose sentences such as this: "A xx-year-old female accompanied by daughter in secondary to within the last week has run out of her amlodipine, Prozac and clonidine anywhere from 3-5 days ago each of these." I kid you not, that is what this doctor said. American doc, speaking clear English. Now tell me, what am I supposed to do with that? It is a verbatim account, but the last time I let some gobbly gook like that go through I got chewed out for it (!) ...

This is a first for me. The doc is NOT ESL. But, it took me quite a while to figure out what she was saying when I heard, "The patient lickscrapitus in his knee." Later on, I realized that she was has difficulty with pronouncing some A's and E's correctly. So, the "lickscrapitus" was "lacks crepitus", which is also a rather odd way of making the statement, IMHO. Why don't the facilities/MTSOs notify the MTs when there is a doc on the account with certain s ...

Does anyone know of any company that does NOT use speech wreckognition. I dont care what they say about once you are used to it you can do twice as much in the same amount of time. I have NEVER found that to be true. What I do find to be true is it takes me just as long, sometimes longer to clean up the mess it makes and I do it for half the pay. Let me just say how much I DO NOT LOVE averaging about 4.00/hour cleaning up after speech wreckognition. And yes, I ...

Ok very new to WBX and speech rec and not sure what to think! How long did it take others to get accustomed to their platform and editing VR? I could transcribe at least 200+ lph at my previous job via straight transcription, but my highest since working here has only been 100 ughhhh! I'm so unsure of this! Guess I'm looking for encouragement that it will get better and/or easier!! Any tips? I just downloaded the free trial of IT7 and am h ...

Can anyone tell me where to find a copy of the shortcut keys for ExText. I had no training on it outside of the basics and was never given any shortcuts keys/commands and I am sure there are a lot of things I could be doing better. Any help is definitely appreciated. ...

Is there anyone using the Speech Motion VR platform that can give some honest feedback - good and bad, and what kind of line counts to expect. How long have you been on it? Is there a considerable increase in productivity, turnaround? Thank you. MT's only please respond. ...

I worked for Spheris for 4 years and it was great. Mmodal took over almost a year ago and changed everyone to speech wreck, took Outlook email away and put us on some horrible slow email system and now it takes at least 30 minutes of wait time to get the Help Desk on the phone. I am looking for a new position that is straight transcription. If anyone knows of one, PLEASE let me know!!!! Speech wreck has caused by paycheck to be cut in 1/3 at least. Thanks! ...
