How can they predict how many blanks?
This annoys the heck out of me about some transcription companies. How in the world can they set a limit of one, two or three blanks per report? That's unrealistic. What do they want us to do, make it up? Well I sometimes wonder if that happens, or some things are just "skipped over". It's tempting, but I haven't gotten to that point yet. I don't care how long someone has transcribed, there are things you just cannot hear, understand, or find. I'm finally working for a company that has no limit to blanks. They have a great editing system. I do a reasonable amount of research on terms I have not heard of. But if I can't hear it....I CAN'T HEAR IT. And don't even get me started on the subject of blanks in ESL dictation. Even the editors can't grasp a lot of it. I used to spend LOTS of itme on blanks, but I've wised up now and let the editors figure it out if I can't get it after a minute or so of research.
There is nothing wrong with a report going to the hospital with a blank. If I were a doctor, nurse, or other medical professional, I would rather deal with a blank than incorrect information. The doctor can fill in blanks when he signs the report.
I leave blanks for even slightly unclear lab values. I see when I review the QA'd report later that they have been filled in by the Editor and it amazes me that they could hear it clearly. Unless they called the nursing station at the hospital and asked them to look it up....which of course does not happen
Maybe I'm too naive about it. I could make a lot more money if I'd just ad lib and send it in. But, I never have been a good liar.
I predict that Taylor and Mandisa ....sm
will be the 2 finalists in the end. I can't stand Kelly - she's too flirty and gets on my nerves. I did laugh at Simon's comments about Bucky having the Jessica Simpson hairstyle!
AMs should not pass on info from facilities only makes that mt more nervous and more prone to errors

I have it bad in a few areas. I use - sm
Aloe Vera 100% Gel from Fruit of the Earth. It works great and gets rid of it. I get it in the health food section at Hyvee (one of our local grocery stores).
I used to use Aloe-80, which also works great, that I got at GNC.
Earthquake cake? It that like Mudslide cake with a mocha drizzle??????????????

Nope I don't live in one of "those" areas.
I live in a quiet little neighborhood with nice neighbors. Used to have a trailer in this same neighborhood until my family sold it. Nobody looked down on us either.
agree 100% when areas not predicted get hit; they can't prepare. sm
i am 280 miles inland and rita affected us here. we have NEVER been under a tropical storm warning as we were with rita but did get prepared. i stocked up for 2 weeks as they told us too and stocked up gas before it was gone. however, it turned and hit the unprepared areas due to forecasters.
where are you, in lufkin? i am in tyler.
Tell that to certain tribes in remote areas of the world
Body deorating has been around about as long as man has been around. Your opinion is just that, yours, and I'm glad not to know you in person.
Be sure to keep areas dry and free of all sugar composites.

You're right. Unfortunately, in some areas inhouse work is
I keep hoping some sort of changes in U.S. laws may come to the rescue before it's too late, and the whole industry becomes offshore and automated. Because if that happens, there will be less and less reason to want to entrust one's care to an HMO.
i wis i had that problem! sometimes that happens and we concentrate in the total wrong areas. so g

just some information for MTs in rural areas where high speed is not available
Hi all,
Was just on the Sprint website a little bit ago and checking out wireless cards for my laptop since I will be moving to an area that doesn't even have landline service available yet. Sprint is now offering a wireless card that is a USB card and apparently will work with both a laptop and a desktop as long as you have an available USB port on your computer. Might be something to think about 
You must live in a metro area because rural areas pay even less per hour.
Of course you can buy a big house for 130,000 in a smaller town and the same amount won't buy you a pot to pee in, in a place like San Diego or the D.C. area. It's all relative.
While AAMT does have a good QA program, they severely lack in other areas.

I would start with hospital websites in the surrounding areas to whatever facility you type for. SM
Hospital websites usually have a pretty good physician directory you can search through by name or by speciality, which is nice.
I also use the AMA website which has a sound alike search feature which is helpful. Here is URL for the AMA doctor finder.
http://webapps.ama-assn.org/doctorfinder/home.html
Also, some states have websites for the medical board licensing or professional licensing where you can look up doctors with licenses in that state. You might do a Google search for whatever state your facility is in.
Another good one that I use is the WebMD physician finder. Here's the URL for that one:
http://doctor.webmd.com/physician_finder/home.aspx?sponsor=core
Hope this helps you.
I get motion sickness and I think if you are prone to car sickness
you wouldn't be able to type in the car. I know I wouldn't be able to at all. I wouldn't even try it if I were you.
I'm 1 hour north of Sacramento but lived in Citrus Heights/Roseville areas for 10 years (sm)
and pretty much 'ditto' everything CAMT says... Kaiser very big in Sacramento but you could start applying to nationals and have a job by the time you got there!! Congratulations and good luck on your move!!
