but we all know they're just keeping an eye on the checkbook they married. So pathetic.

Doctor's wives as office mangers
is such a bad idea! All of the offices I have worked for have had the "wives" as OM's. They act like every penny they pay comes out of their pockets! Gawd, once one tried to get rid of me and go to some Indian company and her hubby Dr finally spoke up for himself and said "no way"!!
I work in-house for doctor's office now and Love My Job!
Good Luck. I accepted an in-house position at a doctor's office after being laid off from a very large hospital. It is wonderful to be able to go and ask the doctor questions and get feedback directly from them. It really is the way to go now instead of working for the really big transcription companies. I feel like I am appreciated.
Doctor's office also in CT
I am also in CT in the Hartford area and I have not seen an MT job for ages. I used to work in a hospital for years in Hartford and saw a job on Career Builders.com. It has been there forever so not sure if it was ever filled.
Hopefully my doctor's office
hasn't sent anything there recently. Well maybe their place of employment will have to close and THEY will have to lose THEIR jobs. Karma sucks...
New doctor in the office
I picked up my work this morning from one of the four offices I type for (yes, some of us do still pick up work, I'm from ancient times, I know :). The doctor hired another doctor to work in his office with him. Don't you think it is not very nice not to let you know that? I'm grateful, and can use the extra money, but surprise surprise!
New doctor in the office
I also pick up tapes from 3 offices. I like doing it this way. I would be very happy if another doctor joined one of my groups. I guess it's better than the other way around.
doctor's business office...
It depends on the office. I personally know of a large clinic in my hometown where the physicians are required to see a certain number of patients per day, bringing in a minimum amount of $$$$ based on office visit, labs, and other ancillary services they order for the patient.
Their doctors are under contract for 5 years; then after they make partner, they still have to adhere to the daily minimum requirement.
How to get a transcription job in a doctor's office. ??
In the past 3 years, I have never once seen an ad in the papers for a Transcriptionist to work in house (or at home for that matter) at a doctor's office. For those of you that have those jobs, how did you get them? Did you know someone at the office? Maybe no one ever quits these jobs and that is why there are no postings?
Anyone just sit down with the phone book and start calling?
Working in doctor's office
I have a small MTSO, two I/C's but last January started working in a clinic that used to me one of my clients -- but they put in electronic charts and after 4 years of pulling their hair out and late notes I now go in 2-3 days a week and one of my subs 2 days a week to do their notes. It is as an employee and no where near what I get with my own accounts but gets me out and with other people. Nice mixture. Out here in Oregon we have several large clinics that only use in-house people. Need to go to the medical offices located by hospitals. They are out there but don't expect big bucks as you won't get them.
Just got hired by doctor's office.
Yep, can you tell I'm happy! Was working for a large national who took over the transcription department at the hospital I used to work for.
You'd think a doctor's office would be more understanding - DUH!
Ever tried to do your transcription with bilateral ear infections? Can't hear, running a fever, dizzy-can hardly sit upright, but still expected to do work that requires HEARING and sitting at a computer! And, I can't win, because as soon as I get this work done (which is taking 2x as long), there are going to be so many mistakes I am going to get ragged about that as well! 
doctor office dictation
Does anyone out there know of any companies who do doctor office dictation instead of clinic work or acute care? I am looking for work and I have 25+ years experience in doctor's office transcription in many fields, but all the ads I keep seeing are only offering acute care or clinic work. All the clinic accounts I have checked into put you in a pool and you never get the same doctor twice, so you don't have a chance to get familiar with them or get your speed up when typing. There has to be companies out there who have doctor office accounts that consist of just a few docs. Any names come to mind?
Doctor office trans
Probably smaller companies is what you want to look for instead of large nationals. Have you looked in your local newspaper? How about approaching a few docs on your own? I've done that before and did overflow for them.
They did test first time at doctor's office.

I had a doctor that was having problems with the office manager ...sm
So he would be in the middle of dictating and would see her walk by and under his breath he called her a few choice words everytime he saw her. I emailed the lady and told her that enough was enough and until they could make friends I was off the account. It was only a few hundred lines a week and was ready to quit the account anyway, but their feud had gotten to be too much for me. ;o)
I'd suggest you look for a local doctor's office if you
want no ESL. If you do acute care you're going to have ESLs.
I worked in house in a doctor's office and it was the same for me...
and I had to answer phones, make copies, et cetera, basically was an MT/secretary...and I hated it...I am making much more money now working at home part-time...
If I call the doctor's office and ask for results of an
MRI done on me, do they have to give me the results or do I have to just wait on the doctor to call me?
No, I've worked in doctor's business office.
That is what the insurance company allows, not what they dictate. Who is to tell the doctor how long he can sit and talk with his patient. It is up to him. True insurance companies get together to decide what is the appropriate amount for the doctor to "charge" for a service but I've literally seen where the doctor sees the patient all of 2 minutes after patient is worked up by techs, but they still get paid for that visit.
I know a lot of people it helped (I worked in a doctor's office) SM
BUT you have to really want to quit before you start it. It doesn't make you want to quit - it just helps you w/ the depression and the withdrawal symptoms that come along w/ quitting. Good luck.
try starting with a doctor's office or small clinic.

I would not do it. Go with a free FTP site for use by you and the doctor's office access only.
All you need to do is create files or folders, for example by date, upload them to the FTP site, and the doc's office can in turn download them directly to their computer. This uses a secure password on both parties' end, and is much securer than emailing.
It's a small doctor's office so I am doing it as a favor for a mutual friend....
Nice to do something different every now and then.
I started in the file room of a 6 doctor urology office....
The file room in any office is a nuclear dumping ground...any paper that nobody knows what to do with gets dumped there. Then and there I made up my mind that I was NOT going to be a file clerk for the rest of my life.
I actually started by filing part time and typing part time. When we got a new Peds Urologist in the office, fresh from a fellowship at Mayo, I was right there. We used tapes back then as that was in the early 1990's. As he could fill up a 2 sided tape with 8 hours of seeing patient's, the other girl in the office did not want any part of his work and left it for me. The rest, as they say, is history.
I had no professional training, just 2 semesters of medical terminology and a killer spelling ability.
After I had typed urology, I was then farmed out to our other offices and I learned GI/GU, family practice, sleep labs etc.
I now work for a major hospital on the west side of Michigan and still type for my Peds urologist. The only difference is that he now has his practice in AZ, not MI.
If you can find somebody willing to take a chance on you with no experience, jump on it with both feet. You will be glad you did.
If you want to work at a local hospital or doctor's office, go to community college. Otherwise
if you want to work from home, for a national company, you need to take the course from either Andrews School or M-TEC. It does you no good to save money by taking the Penn Foster course, because most companies will NOT hire grads from that school, it is a poor course and does NOT prepare you sufficiently for MT work.
I love my doctor, really I do.
 "Trichotillomania, gosh that's a long word to spell."
He's the guy who spells out lots of words, even though I've done him for years and always have spelled them the way he does. Thank goodness he didn't spell trichotilomania for me today.
sometimes I'd love to ask the doctor
but working through a company, we can't contact them directly. One of my accounts has a nice flagging tool for discrepancies or things that don't seem to make sense (not to be used for cases where we just don't know the medical term) that alerts the doctor to look at the report and change if necessary.
I have a doctor who will sing his reports every once in a while, love it. (nm)

Love my office
We had our home built about two years ago. All the rooms are big except for my office, but it is really all I need. It has a built-in oak desk and cabinets. I have a shelf with all my Precious Moment figurines. Also, I have an antique Singer sewing machine in front of the window. I also have shelves on the wall with more PMs! I have a bulletin board with pictures, etc and lots of pictures of my kids on the wall. It is small but I consider it my little hideaway!
I love my office,,,
Two of my walls have a step back, meaning there is an oak shelf that cuts the wall in two. The top half is painted a soothing sage green with the bottom half a shade or two darker. The two walls without the shelf are painted the lighter green. Have white crown molding and closet doors. Initially my L-shaped desk was facing into a corner but changed that so now I sit facing into the room with window on my right and door on my left. Desk, filing cabinets, window molding, shelf are in oak. I have little fridge, microwave, TV, Bose radio with DVD and CD hook-up, dark green love seat that I sleep on (I am short, lol), Nordic Trac ( which I seldom use), dog's crate and hubby's old desk in here with me. The floor just has a remant of blue carpet because puppies and baby-sitting dogs spend time in here with me and I don't want to have to worry about "accidents." When I decide to finish the floor, will probably be in hardwood to match other wood in here. Also have ceiling fan with remote, which was a wonderful idea. I LOVE my office. I call it my cocoon room.
That's what she said! Love The Office!!! NM

I love your office...sm
I looked at the pictures. It looks great. I have to redo my office. It is actually my office, and my junk room right now. My christmas decorations are still sitting in here. I have got to do some redoing. I love your garden view from the window. You have a lovely garden. I too love flowers. I have planted in flower garden I am quite proud of in my front yard. Thanks for the pictures.
I got a chair at Office Max and I love it.
I only paid $89 as it was on sale, down from around $150. It sits wonderfully and adjusts to any position I want. Even the armrests adjust. I can positions throughout the day if I get uncomfortable with one position. I don't know the brand, I'd have to look on mine at home if you are interested.
Dell for office computer and lap top and love both. (nm)

Our third bedroom serves solely as an office. I love it! nm

Tom's wives have been consistently
10 years younger than the previous. Looks like he'll be scoping out the Middle Schools soon. LOL.
While I don't believe that wives working is
wrong, I do think the original plan was for us to be homemakers and to take care of our families while the husband did the providing. It hasn't worked that way at my house (LOL) too much, but that's okay, too. My husband and I both work and contribute to the needs of our home. We have 2 grown children and they turned out okay. You can be a good mother even if you have to work outside the home. You just miss a lot that way.
Just wondering if there are other military wives out there who are also MTs? NM

Maybe it's not for their wives. Maybe they found t hemselves a hooker or something. nm

There are a lot of hubs-n-wives teams out here that own their own services, too. They seem to

I've had nothing but excellent experiences working with wives as OMs.
:)
and you can bet 99% of these guys are married, fat, bald freaks hiding from their wives
while pretending to be rich, attractive, and SINGLE
My sons are born again too and their wives can't leave the house, home school the kids, no tv,
and if my DIL wanted to work, it is out of the question. One of my sons just believes in having babies and having babies. They now have 5. I divorced his dad and apparently his dad taught them this is the American way. I just feel so bad for both my sons' wives. They both are born again and both live their life that way.
Have most people had good luck with their MQ office closing and moving to the regional office. Have
things gotten better or worse for you.
Yes, I lost mine. I upgraded the Office 2000 package to Office 2003. sm
I have over 2000 autocorrect entries and lost them all as well as my supplemental dictionary for my Stedman's spellcheck. Lots of grief!
Maybe you will be lucky and not lose anything. Good luck to you.
Might be able to rent one from an office supply or office machine repair shop

I gave a tin of toffee for each office and a Lia Sophia necklace to each office manager. ~nm~

Office politics. That is why I enjoy working at home. In the office,
people are in other people business. Just mind your own business.
