or even anger! Everybody does this.
But the errors that I pointed out are not done out of haste or anger, these are done out of lacking of grammar and spelling skills.
Done repeatedly, in this post 10 times the same mistake!
It is MT
MTs for plural
in the 60s, not in the 60's
etc....

Please excuse the typos. I typed fast as this
is such a hot subject with me. I should have proofed before I hit post. The content of the message is 100%, although the QA did not pass well. Forgive me!
Oops! In my haste
I should have said how some transcription services stay in business. Sorry 'bout that!
sorry, I made a typo in haste and anger, it is 'agreed', not 'agrred'..nm

Compassion yes
I have total compassion for all who are struggling, MT and non-MT alike. There are families right now where neither parent has a job. I just can't get behind all these groundless assumptions, half-truths disguised as facts, and the undisguised message that if I don't join you in your vitriol, I am dirt on your shoes. Compassion yet, unconditional approval no. I wonder what the tone of these posts would be if no one could hide behind a pseudonym.
A little compassion wouldn't hurt. You may sm
need some help someday and it would be sad if you were treated the same way, wouldn't it? It's horrible to lose a job and income for any reason.
What goes around, comes around. You'd better duck!
I feel the same way as you, and have plenty of compassion
I literally became sick and vomited when I was contacted by someone on this board asking me if I knew that a person with whom I was corresponding was from India.
The legal end to slavery was in December of 1865 when the 13th Amendment was ratified. However, most unfortunately, it is QUITE OBVIOUS that many here amongst us are still prejudice.
To verify that, all you have to do is read the posts on here on the Politics Board and/or the front page of Yahoo every morning. Black, white, red, green == We are ALL human beings, so let's start acting like civil, loving ones. PEACE.
Ever hear of compassion for mankind?
You'd think the Mumbai incident a while back would have taught doctor's offices a lesson about that country but I guess not
YOU have got to be kidding!! What kind of a narrow-minded, prejudice, uneducated idiot with no regard for their fellow mankind would make a comparison of the Mumbai attacks being the equivalent of a doctor’s office allowing their work to be outsourced!!! Do you even know the facts? Do you even have a clue that those attacks cost 100s of people their lives ? It was a terrorist attack carried out by a Pakistan based terrorist group!! Should India not be willing to work with us because of the 911 attacks? I mean in your words...shouldn’t they have been taught a lesson about our country? That is just a sick comment to make.
Typed in the USA
To be honest, I was not 100% serious when I posted about starting up Typed in the USA. But the response from people is so unbelievable that I am starting to. I'm trying to write back to everyone who wrote to me.
Do you think the trend might be starting to reverse from the cheap foreign services? The doctors are realizing that YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Duh! And many transcription companies (not all because there are terrific companies too) are losing good employees who want to be paid fairly and treated well.
Look at all the sign on bonuses being offered in the Want Ads and the same companies posting over and over. There must be something wrong if you are willing to pay so much for new hires. I have never run a company so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but I would try giving that sign on bonus to the good employees you already have to make sure they stay and produce. Then maybe you have to hire less trainers, managers and overworked QA people because your employees stay longer and are motivated. You therefore have less overhead. Hiring more people at lower salary to save money might be a kind of trick that companies play for their stockholders or whatever. They can say look how little we spend on payroll while they are actually losing money in the long haul when quality goes down and they lose clients. But eventually the piper has to be paid.
Anybody see the movie Wall Street with MIchael Douglas? That movie is SOOOOOOO right about what is going on today. CEOs, instead of investing in their communities, became vultures. They would destroy a company to make money for a few backers and then the workers and community would be left to die.
Sorry to get a soapbox here! I'm transcribing orthopedics and my mind is wandering!
I don't know when she typed them
.
cpl - I have never typed for
I have never typed for anyone that required a line rate. Mine were always minutes.
That is funny because I typed in
DocuMed and it came up the very first response. Also, you can type comments on DocuMed in Google and it will show old postings from sites such as this one. I would like some info on them, too:)
The NPs and PAs I've typed for said
things like erythromy-A-cin and digoxacin and larNIX and pharNIX. So are they illiterate/dyslexic? We all know they're reading it from the chart. Amazes me.
OH I can't believe I typed "I was do." I'm so ashamed!!!
I KNOW you have to send it out as if you typed it yourself (sm)
My question wasn't whether I had to send it out at a 98 to 100% standard. My question was whether all of you VR lovers actually do that. I can't in good conscience send out work that is less than my best, but by the same token, I can't figure out how to edit the VR crap fast enough to make a living.
WHAT IS YOUR SECRET????
I realized it after I typed it :)

I have typed oncology only.....
for at least 10 years. Of course, in my opinion, it is easier to do this because when doing clinic work you have less doctors, less work types and such as that. For me, the pay is the same as any other MT. I love typing oncology though and would hate to have to go back to acute care.
Yes, typed 3 voice files
The recruiter gave me three voice files and I had two hours to return them. Not bad, one was kind of hard. You only have to fill in the blanks, not transcribe the entire report. Just like doing an edit. From the time I applied on-line, got a call from the recruiter and tested and then offered a position was less than two days. They sent me an equipment package and paperwork, I trained and now I am working my way through the three week full QA process. Nice people so far, I am very happy with Medware.
Ugh, I have typed face lifts before. sm
No way would I want that spoon elevator peeling my face off the muscles and then wrapping my head in gauze. So gross. I'll take the wrinkles any day.
Tssc pays for everything that is typed sm
So if you type a patient name, dob, or dos, you get paid for it. TSSC works for some people, for some it does not.
I've heard and typed that before.
I don't really see the humor, it is just technical terminology. Just my opinion.
I like Typed in the USA, but I would make it Transcribed in the USA
It's longer but better description than typed, at least I think so. Good luck!!!
review typed reports
The only way I know to review reports already typed is they go to QA for anything. Of course, when new, the MT is on full QA.
It sounds like the OP is wanting as much info on DQS as possible, so here are a couple things I don't believe I saw in this thread.
Keep in mind that as new accounts are started, there will also be blanks left, usually for demo things, landmarks, etc., so that is a big help, too.
Bravo! Your message should be typed and placed on
But most importantly, of course, on the desk of every MT company CEO across America.
Greed is NOT good. It's why our entire economy is in the mess it's in today.
Probably typed by templated machine -
I seriously doubt the tech of the physician himself. The company I used to work for also had this and it was a templated program that typed out the report (in other words, VR).
Also wanted to add, if they want spaces typed, they
dang sure better pay for them!
All questions are being TYPED; everyone is on mute. nm

2 typos
maybe no QA?
my typos
Oh yea, please don't give me slack about my typos.. I spend all day giving 99.5% of my typos the backhand, and when I am on the net, well, I really don't care!! Peace out..
sorry for the typos...nm
nm
sorry for typos
It is 4 a.m. and typing all day!
sorry for typos
noticed after reading back my post!
Sorry about the typos!! nm

Sorry about the typos
I meant to type she said she could not hire someone who could not follow directions. My mind went before my fingers on that one.
typed "thanks" at the end of the above msg, not wha'ts showing there. nm
99% Indian offshore typed - They hold on
to US transcriptionists until a new account is up and running, then let you go. I am friends with someone that did QA for them - she told me that was the company's practice. She no longer works for them because she spent more time retyping reports.
I've typed radiology on Extext...
for several years now and I wouldn't want to work on any other platform. I love it.
The session statistics will vary depending on several factors. I also worked for a company where the ability to view was not allowed, and the reason for this was because the Extext line counting was different from the line counting used by the company I worked for. If the specific contract your MTSO has with the account you work on is not paid by the same line counting configuration, then the session statistics will not be the same as the line counts you get off of the iChart website which are set up according your account's specific line counts parameters.
You will probably find as many people that hate Extext as you do that love it...I for one definitely do love it. Good luck! :)
Let spellcheck to its job. When typing and I knw I typed a word
h
That's ridiculous. If you have ever typed a pathology report
you would know that. It is sometimes a double process, typing the gross and then going back in and typing the microscopic.
I cannot fathom how anyone could offer so little money for those type reports as the terminology is extremely technical.
easy, typed test reports
no ESLs, typed 2 test reports in under 10 minutes, these are just cysts, skin pathology.
I think she means don't bold it until you've typed
after a space. Then once you've transcribed past the header, go back and bold it. Meditech is blah!! You'll get used to it, but it's not transcription friendly for sure.
speaking, sorry for the typo, but I typed it too fast! nm
nm
It usually is 10-12 lines typed per minute of dictation. nm

I know, but some posters use it as moniker too, especially when typed with capitals..sm
Imagine, I even know that 'sm' means see message, wow, ain't I smart!
I apologize for the typos.
I guess I shouldn't try to type when I'm upset. 
Grammar and typos
I believe that Goldbird posted the same thing about there being no need to correct people on the board for typos or grammatical errors. There's really no need.
We all make typos!
Daphne,
Let me tell you one thing. I am not perfect and I did not proof my work in typing this note. I was just typing my fingers away and going from one chat to another. That was very unprofessional of you as an MT, supervisor, owner, etc., for you to throw your HATEFUL comments at me about me making a grammar error about worse versus worst. We all make mistakes. I have seen so many owners make mistakes. We are not perfect humans. We all make mistakes. Grow up!!!! You are acting like a child. I appreciate the Administrator on MT Stars to respect me as an individual and realizing that I make mistakes, but you should not advertise on this chat board to thousands of MTs about how stupid I am about making a grammar error where I forgot to proof my work. Why don't you go through every single one of these responses and start editing every single MTs grammar. I can guarantee you will find just as many errors like you did mine. Please be careful what you say in the future. Thanks again MT Stars administration for looking out for me regardless if I made a typo on my grammar!
Well, at least I can laugh at my typos - sm
some of ya'll seem to take them way, WAY to seriously. (And to hopefully avert any more flaming about being sloppy in my work, I'm TALKING ABOUT silly little mistakes we make when we're dashing off quick posts & emails.) And do you really think my thread is actually TESTIER than some of the total ragging that's been going on whenever someone on these boards stands up and calls a spade a spade?
Not!
Please excuse the typos...been up since 4 a.m.!
nm
Not really. Typos happen.
`
Typos happen, but
That is why you proof, and proof again, a document that is important to the image of the company. It looks extremely unprofessional!
Were the typos there for a reason maybe? nm
