Unfortunately, when you work for a national or particularly a specialist, there are ..sm
many, many referring physicians. Doctors do not want to take the time during dictation to be considerate in providing spellings of doctors names, towns, and even spelling of patient names. It is ashame, however very common for many of us to have to take the time to look it up. I have found, in my experience, when I have had my own clients over the years, I don't take this horse sh_ _. I left blanks and had their office staff fill in the missing info. After time, the doctors became more disciplined and provided more complete dictation after being hounded by their office staff. Unfortunatley, when you work for a local service or national transcription company, you have to take the heat for not researching the doctor names, addresses, etc. Sad, but true. Find some good national doctor databases for this purpose. If you are referring to patient names in relation to demographics, you simply cannot guess on them. Spell it as it sounds and type spelling not given (doc's problem in this case).
Thanks, Medical Content Specialist:)!

MT companies, with oncology specialist openings!
Hello,
I am highly interested in the MT companies who have current openings in oncology as the speciality of choice! I have 5 years' experience as an MT. I am now doing orthopedics, which is good, but I really love doing oncology, for personal reasons. I am looking for pay per line either equal to OR above my pay that I receive now. I have worked for a little over one year for the company I work for now, and I received an actual raise for all of my hard, but enjoyed, work. Also, I should mention that I have NEVER worked for any companies, in my life, that do not give raises every year. As long as the work warrants it, and everything else keeps going up in price, i.e. GAS prices, and etc, I think that it should be given to us hard-working MTs!! After all, this is a REAL job, and not just a job that is taken lightly by some of us, who actually NEED to make a living off of this type of work, and also enjoy doing it!
So, if your company has what I would like to have in an employer, contact me, and we will talk seriously about it. I would just love to hear from you!
Data Entry Specialist job listing?
Does anyone know anything about the data entry specialist job listing on the job board? Is this one of those scam or is it a real job? I applied for it, but have not heard anything yet. Has anyone here heard anything about it?
Thanks
Data Entry Specialist Listing
I was wondering if anyone had heard back from this job listing yet? I got an email today from Stanford Executive Recruitment today with the same information as the job listing and so am assuming that is them. They want a $14.00 registration fee so I am smelling SCAM. Just wondering what you all thought or have experienced with this one.
Thanks 
What about the Entry Level Computer Support Specialist.....sm
opening that is listed in Atlanta Journal (ajc.com). Do you think it's pretty much already filled from within?
I personally prefer Medical Language Specialist...
Even the title medical transcriber doesn't do justice to our jobs with the way they have evolved over the years. We no longer can sit and simply be transcribers. We must be semi-fluent in several different languages, do our best to hone our psychic skills so we don't get penalized for leaving a blank for QA to assist with, we have to perform feats of magic at times attempting to find an ADT match, and the list goes on and on.
Geez, maybe we should just call ourselves *medical magicians* at this point what with all the rabbits we're expected to pull from the many hats we're forced to wear these days.
Medical language specialist is a title made up by MTs. The truth is...sm
...we are transcriptionists. Our job is to type what the doc/PA/nurse dictates. Look at a court reporter; she can call herself a legal language specialist or a juris stenographer or whatever else she comes up with, but her job is to provide a transcript of WHAT IS SAID in court. She is not changing anything, and nobody expects her to. In fact, if she did, there would be huge repercussions!
Same for closed captioning transcriptionists. What is said goes in the ears and out the fingers, no changes.
The difference between us and them is that we deal in medical language.
My title and my job is medical transcriptionist. I have also been a transcription editor. If the account says type verbatim, I do just that, and it matters not to me if the doc ends the sentence with a preposition. I'm here to provide a hard copy of what he said, not make him look like he went to charm school. If the doc/site/account/client decides the charts look foolish, they are free to allow me light editing privileges for the sake of clarity.
If you want to correct someone else's words, become a copy editor.
