I DO give baked goods/sweets about 4 times a year to my private MD offices.  However, I NEVER score an account that way.   I go in with myself and sell myself and not with any baked goods.  *lol*

Why were the guardsmen there?  We have freedom to protest.  The military is not allowed to patrol and keep tabs on the people.  That is the job of cops.  The military is used to defend the US not control its citizens.  The governor of Ohio was wrong and that has been proven.  There was no tear gas thrown at the guardsmen, there were stocks and rocks and then the guardsmen shot their guns and killed students.

second job is everything but ops since that is all someone wants on the account I'm on.

It's not all cut and paste. Make macros for common phrases. If you find you keep spelling something wrong, make a macro of the wrong spelling so that it automatically corrects it. I write down my words that keep getting stopped in spell check and at the end of the day I make a macro of it to put in the correct spelling. If it needs a capital letter, make a macro so that it capitalizes for you w/o hitting the shift key. If it's an abbreviation that needs to be capitalized, macro a macro of it. Lowercase pt comes out as PT, pmh comes out as PMH. I use pmh- to make it print out as past medical history and put a semicolon after pmh; for it to print out in capital letters. I have macros for the % sign. 1P = 1% and goes all the way up to 100p for 100%, 1L is 1 liter, 1h = 1 hour. If you are constantly typing certain headings for doctors make a macro of it. I have one doctor that wants all different headings than on the template we are given. I made a template just for him where everything is capitalized and bolded the way he wants so that saves me a ton of time. Make macros for your common meds. Also put correct caps of meds into your spellcheck. If I capitalize something like prednisone, it will make it automatically a lowercase w/o stopping on it except if it is the beginning of a sentence.

Hello!  Email me if you still need sites for OP notes - I have quite a few good ones I can send you...

On one of my personal computers where I had (as usual) TONS of AutoCorrects and AutoTexts stored every once in a while Word would freeze up or close down (I forget now which) and everything would be lost.  So, I made sure to back up the normal.dot and the .acl (I haven't had to do this for a few years so I'm not sure I have that 100% correct) often so I could reinstall them.   I also saved the documents I was working on every few minutes and made that easier by changing the F12 button to a "Save" button.  One day I had a brilliant idea and went in to AutoCorrect Options and unchecked everything I could that was not important to me and it stopped happening!  I only mention this in case someone else out there has this problem.   

But I have TONS and TONS of entries and I have never had one just disappear without some other reason for it other than I had too many in there. 

Acute care is so much broader as far as need for knowledge of terminology in many different specialities.  Clinic transcription can be of any specialty, but usually if you have a clinic account it will be limited to one or two specialties. 

There are many different work types in acute care.  Clinic work consists of mostly a history, physical exam, and plan.   Acute care includes things such as operative notes, consultations, etc.  which are "a whole different ballgame" as far as terminology.          

No consistency!

what you get a degree in.  Something like sociology, anthropology, etc. - no, probably not many jobs.  Psychology you really need a graduate degree.  Social work you can find jobs with a bachelor's but not that well paying, so would need a graduate degree.

But look at a lot of the medical professions - heck, nursing, physical therapy, respiratory therapy, medical technology (except they call it something else now), radiology, pharmacy, etc. etc. - all are BOOMING.  Just gotta be smart about what you get your degree in.

It took me approximately two weeks to really get the specifics down on the account I am currently working on.  That is just the account specs.  The DO's and DONT'S.  It is about 75 pages long.  I still am not used to all of the doctors yet because I have not had the opportunity to transcribe for all of them enough to be able to get used to them.  I work for a national, but my account is for a large hospital, so there are doctors there that I have not even come across yet.  I have been on this particular account now for 3 months.  I have the specifics down cold, and like I said, that only took a couple of weeks to get.

I have had other accounts that only took a few days to get used to because they were smaller and didn't have that many specifics.

The bottom line is that it depends on the account itself.  The client is going to be the one that will determine how long it will take you to get used to an account based on how many instructions, etc. they dish out for their accounts.  Each and every account will be different.  You may notice a pattern at some point, but you can't really count on a set amount of time or categorize it into a specific time frame.

Just my opinion.

have, including my DH.  I have never known anyone to keep the weight off once they come off the diet.  While there have been various studies as to healthiness/unhealthiness of the diet, I don't see how eating high fat foods came be healthy.  I do know that the diet throws your body into a ketosis, which gives you terrible breath.  When my DH was on the diet I asked him not to talk while in the car because his breath smelled so bad.  He worked with a woman who said she wondered why people would back away from her when she talked.

I think low carb is a good idea, but I don't think high fat is a good idea.  I'm not a nutritionist, just makes sense.
