So to say no may not be correct. I would email Cheryl and just ask her. HTH!

Sted's Ortho Words, a lab words book, at least 1 drug book, and your AAMT BOS 2nd

What law? There's no law. There was a book (sm)
by a conservative that came out, which is what started this whole heightened nonsense over Merry Christmas vs. Happy Holidays. That book has effected a nice smokescreen to get away from the real issues plaguing the party, such as illegal wiretapping.
maybe in your book but not for an MT who is a

They are in my book.

What are you writing, a book
x
About the book/tests - have you not ever sm
done any in-depth research into the field you are working in? Had you done that, you would have probably ended up at the AHDI site at some point (creator of the BOS) or MTChat or here - references to BOS and tests come up daily. How could you have been working and not know there was a BOS?
Re The Book of Style
Just a short note to say, you really need to learn the BOS, even if you don't think you need to, and no matter what anyone else tells you, for your own knowledge, you need to know the basics--the style basics. We all had/have to do it, you are not alone. It's all a part of the game. :)
I agree 100% with you. The book is sm
correct 99.9% of the time. Once in awhile you will find something wrong, but then you just write it in and change it. You never know on the internet. I don't think there is any substitute for sitting down with a book and doing research. I do understand that in this day and age it is not cost effective to do that. That is why I still believe that it is a disservice to MTs not to be able to work in-house for several years before going home!
with a book you wouldn't need sm
suggestions now would you. There would be an entry and it would be correct. Also there are still some places that don't do voice files through the internet so it wouldn't matter if the internet was down or not.
Obviously there IS A place for the internet but to say you can't or won't use books anymore is crazy!
a 1-hr window is NOT flexibility in my book.

Those of you that have the book, can you figure out what she is asking. I'm very curious too. B

That's fast in my book. I can't do that. Great job! :) nm
s
Correct - I don't want to write a book.
If you want more information, please email me. I can only say what I experienced.
All those are Negative points in my book! Keep looking, please! nm

So? BOS is just book by ladies with too much free
x
I seen a book on ebay or amazon once...sm
and it tells you how to start your own MT business. I was looking for reference books and it popped up. I had typed in medical transcription books or something like that.
Go to the library and check out the book
do you a lot of good to read that.
Book of Style 2nd Edition
This says without the apostrophe is preferred but that the apostrophe is acceptable if that is what's dictated and/or the client wants it that way.
Hot darn it is in the Ahdi book.
The only time QA makes me pound my head is when they are correct and it can be seen in print.
Also, the new Nuance 7.5 VR is so smart. . .it remembers corrections you make. The whole page(s). Start planning. . .this one is top notch. . .better than the first. No more overtime. No more parttimers.
source, please? In my hard book
Webster's there is only an e, no y. Need to know if this has changed and I don't trust Google on everything.
It is an open book 50 question quiz
I enjoyed taking it, may take the job if they offer, I need to get some additional memory in my computer but that should not be too difficult, about $35 for another 256MB.
Can anyone recommend a good reference book
for radiology. I just started on a rad account in training. I love it so far but would like a good radiology terminology book that especially contains terms for MRIs and CT scans. ALso, can anyone tell me what the average rate is per report for radiology? Thanks!
Some emails are missed and not in their address book
nm
What?! Do you have your number listed in the phone book?
This is the same info they can get out of the phone book, i.e., name, address, and phone number. This is not what they use to commit identify theft. They would use the general information from your resume to phish for more detailed information, such as SS# or bank account/cc account info. This is also what they would get out of your trash if for some reason you don't shred this info before you throw it out. Also, with past employers, they are only allowed to give basic info, such as length of employment and whether you're eligible for rehire. They can be held legally responsible if they give out detailed information about you!
I am very realistic that I'm not immune to identify theft, but also I know the law and know that I shouldn't be paranoid about someone stealing my identity. I take the appropriate steps to protect myself and monitor my credit report frequently.
The book contains suggestions. They don't write the rules
they merely published them in a format convenient for us to review - save your anger for the JAHCO and the American Medical Association.
area cod is 877 (dont have phone book with me)

Those are definitely text book anxiety symptoms
You may want to see if you can get something for your anxiety; something that will not make you drowsy if you take it during the day. Good luck.
DocQscribe is the best in my book! You just type. Very easy, nm

Look in phone book or google for your area
Free legal aid or legal assistance. I know it exits in my area, southern California, I used it once.
This seems way out of line. Google attorney general for your state, here in California it is Jerry Brown and look for an email address and send in a question. I know I have read of scams in newspaper they have gone after, like the home loan modification scammer etc.
This is really really bad, so sorry it happened but don't give up, there must be a loop hole, how can that be OKAY??? Huh
Reference book, office supplies, equipment. nm
I type radiology and the ortho book helps
I also had to get a medical & surgical words book to help with some of the procedures. They were well worth the money - got mine on ebay pretty cheap.
I SAW a book on it once, too. It was called The Independent Medical Contractor.
nm
I use Stedman's Orthopedic and Rehab Words book..
and Google is also a good research tool :)
Here is my advice.......RUN, do not walk to the nearest phone book. sm
Look up Legal Aid of whatever city or state you live in. They are a group of lawyers and paralegals that do work for free or sliding scale, etc. They will do all the leg work for you. You supply them with copies of your documentation and any other records you have kept regarding email, snail mail, or phone calls.
The most important thing... when you talk to and deal with these people, document, document, document. Document EVERYTHING
Then go to the Better Business Bureau and let them know what is going on.
Call your state Atty General's office and tell them what is going on and give them copies of any documentation you have.
Then I would quit. I know she probably can't afford to and it is experience she may not be able to get anywhere else, but as the post below said, they aren't going to give her a good reference anyway if they have not responded to her mail and phone calls.
Let us know how it goes. Keep us posted.
This book is going to change our lives and it is very important to share information with each other

I actually like Vista
I have another brand new computer that I just bought a month ago that has Vista on it, and I actually like it quite a bit and haven't had any major problems with it. I just have to use XP on my work computer since my accounts aren't compatible with Vista yet.
I IC for FN & use Vista
but utilize Word 2002. I had a few issues with foreign font population, but got it resolved. Have you talked to folks in FN IT? They are pretty knowledgeable and willing to help. If 2003 is incompatible, you could probably get 2002 pretty cheaply.
i have XP and Vista
Bayscribed loaded onto XP/desktop and also on my Vista laptop. I work off both, have no problems with Vista at all.
Re: Vista
I run XP because I HATE Vista, so am afraid I cannot help you.
Tessier Surgical Word Book is my bible, but mostly you need LOTS of patient
nm
Thanks ... it will be awhile before I go to Vista anyway. nm

I was told to buy Vista. . .
when I was hired in July. It was after the computer tech worked with my on my Vista computer that they decided not to allow Vista. Now I'm out $1000 for all that new equipment as I came from a company that provided everything including program downloads, and I'm on my own once again, minus last week's pay I could have made with a more compatible program. Why would I have gone out of my way when I was only comfortable with XP to buy Vista? The person I spoke with suggested the kind of computer she has, which is a Compaq Presario, and she did recommend Vista. I have no experience with Vista, but I trusted her word.
Vista/Keystrokes
Whatever happened obviously there was a misunderstanding or lack of communication about what program to buy. I understand how you would be upest after spending money and now not having an account to work on. I would think Keystrokes could have made a suggestion of getting rid of the software that was not compatiable. Maybe you can call them back and see if there is some way this can be rectified. However, I would like to say people could be a little more kind to this person who obviously is very upset. It certainly doesn't hurt to show an ounce of compassion instead of irritation.
I never even heard of Vista before. . .
before I was hired at KS. Why would I buy it if I was only familiar with XP? Of course I can't even buy another new computer with warranty as they don't make XP anymore. Little did I know.
Keystrokes/Vista
All of these links do not surprise me about Vista/Keystrokes or any other company for that matter. Most companies IT people just do not have the expertise in computers/software/hardware. Call a computer tech to come into your house and see if he/she can get your software to work on your computer. Geek Squad does a good job. I know, hired them. They know many ways to fix problems on a computer that some of the companies IT people may just not know. Geek Squad's work is guaranteed, not a lot of money and they know what they are doing, have all the software disks with them to fix problems on your computer.
Or you can uninstall Windows Vista and buy a cheaper copy of Windows XP and install that on your computer. TigerDirect.com,and other web sites sell this software cheaper than Best Buy, etc.
Sometimes it is a computer expert outside of a transcription company, who has seen many problems, can fix it it no time.
A lot of computers years ago had problems with Windows XP and then that was fixed. Windows Vista is new, and like many products needs the bugs worked out of it before it will run properly with all software. Microsoft.com also has a list of programs that are compatible with Vista.
VISTA IS COMPATIBLE
I dont know who told you VISTA was not compatible but it most certainly is! I bought a new laptop with Vista and have been working without any problems whatsoever. If you're having a problem downloading it, it's because you must first sign in as, run as administrator...then it will download for you...
so are you working with Vista &
nm
I think either Vista or XP work, I have XP and
it is fine... I have desktop, but often wish for laptop so I can sit outside, but again, you might want to contact the fellow who trains Bayscribe. He is really nice and you can e mail or call and he will answer those questions. He is so low key and helpful, I know he can help you. You download the Bayscribe onto your computer with the help of the fellow who trains you... It is so easy you don't even have to have him do it... and you are lucky to have a C-phone because you probably won't run out of work as much. I don't have a landline anymore (use cell) so I could not opt for that option. Good luck on training. I think people below are right about hanging in. Plus we are IC so having extra work elsewhere is okay, and that is how I am hanging in there. I have 1 other IC and just took another account on today, so when they are all busy this MT will be complaining about too much work...but that is better than broke, that is for sure! Good luck.. and although I got my 5 jobs to say hang in there may be premature, but my gut says it so that is what I am trusting, along with some of the veterans on here who said that too. Good luck to you :)
no prob's w/vista and mdi.

Vista compatibility
Depends what platform you use. Vista is compatible with DocQScribe and Keystrokes uses DocQScribe. Some companies use various platforms, depending on their clients' needs. 
All Type Vista
Yes, All Type's platform works on Vista.
