good resource site?
We used to have two people type radiology, but it is going to now be put in the general report pool. I have one book from stedmans, but am kind of nervous. Do you have any good websites?
While the internet is a good resource, I
also have reference books. Stedman's Medical and Surgical Equipment Word Book that I cannot live without. For drugs, rxlist.com and http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.Search_Drug_Name are both good. Also, mt911.com has multiple resource sites for sample reports, abbreviations, drug searches, etc.
Also, if you are doing 1 specific speciality, the Stedman's book for that speciality is a good resource. For example, I do some ophthalmology and am not familiar with that, so I have the speciality for that. Sometimes it is just easier to have a book where you can pull up the specific thing you are looking for; i.e., the listing "catheter" brings up pages of catheters. THis is much easier for me than guessing at a spelling on the internet and coming up with literally hundreds of choices.
a good resource can be found on the internet
You can go to the labor sites for various states and it will give you some, if not not all, of the information you seek. If it doesn't, it can give you phone numbers to investigate further.
Useful resource
Sharing this useful search engine for MTs that I came across on MT Mastery. See link below named "search engine for mts."
If that is the same resource you
then it is no longer free. They probably only offered it for free to work the bugs out of the program.
If it was not what you were looking for, then you might look around their site and see what you can find.
transcription resource
just a thought
Handy resource
A pretty handy tool to have.
Op Note CD Resource?
I have recently begun transcribing a lot of operative note. I currently use The Surgical Word Book by Claudia Tessier as a reference. It is rather cumbersome to keep going through the book. I was wondering if anyone knows of a CD reference for surgical terms? It would be so much easier!
You are welcome. It is my best resource for any support or technical help.

Need psych testing resource
I'm looking for a website(s) that has information on various tests used in psychological evaluations. Mostly I just need the names of the tests for reference. Any info is appreciated!
This is a great resource (see link)
Helpful resource link....
I came across this. Looked like something that might come in handy. Lots of things on here. Thought I would pass it along. Have a Happy New Year!
Helpful resource link....
Thanks, have already bookmarked it....along with a million other sites. Hopefully I will figure out what is truly helpful and what isn't and then weed out the ones that aren't.

Snopes is a great resource for stuff like this . . sm
I'm always leary of hearing things like this, so my first stop is usually snopes.com. They list all sorts of urban myths and legends, as well as some true stuff that might surprise you. In response to this particular topic, nope, not true, false, don't think so, etc...
I've found this resource pretty useful for rehab work. Link inside.
Have this as one of my bookmarks - found this handy whilst handling rehab work. Hope this helps!

MY samples
I am the poster accused of holding MY normals hostage. Cleaned off the sample and just left in headings. And this was a sample with a table in it and I omitted that even. Then I sent the doc. But again, all they had to do was make a copy of a done job and that would have been the end of it. The only thing, I don't think this person was ever smart enough to figure that out. lol.
You need samples
of the work or offer to a do a trial for a week so you can get an idea of what a page contains and average it out.
I charge my NJ client $3/page but first did a one-week trial and gave my estimate based on that. They also claimed they had local transcriptionists willing to do it for $2. I did not drop my rate, and they went with me anyway. Just thought I'd share that to prove you can charge a higher rate and still get the account. ;D
samples, samples, samples. That is sm
the way she will learn what her dictators are saying. Surely they have some available to her?
Samples
Go to www.mtdaily.com. They have samples of a lot of reports done by transcriptionists. The job board, classifieds, and samples are free services.
report samples
Does anyone know of a web site with surgical report samples and EMG reports? I've searched google for hours and can only find informartion ABOUT them, not actual reports....
Thanks for ANY help!
seeing samples like that just makes
you realize just how valued and appreciated you are by the nationals and AMMT who believe offshoring is good for the industry, doesn't it??? NOT!!
Can you ask your supervisor for samples of
the ESL doctors' other reports? This will help you can get a handle on what they say frequently.
You have a great attitude. Remember if you can transcribe ESLs, you can transcribe anything. Good luck!
Definitely agree with getting samples. Get
lots of them. They'll save you a lot of time.
For me, I'll listen to a word a couple of times and if I can't understand it, I leave a blank and finish out the rest of the report. Then, I go back to the blank and re-listen again and if I can't for the life of me figure out what the dictator is trying to say at all then I go ahead and leave the blank.
I use Google also. I'll type in the phrase after the blank or before the blank in case something comes up that looks familiar or sounds right.
And lastly, I also stop and walk away for a second from my PC just to clear my head and re-listen again and sometimes just doing that helps.
Good luck! If you can conquer those dreaded ESLs you can conquer anything.
Ask for samples of work...nm

You must get samples of their reports so you can see what they are saying. sm
Most ESLs say the same thing, in the same way, over and over. If English is difficult for them, then they learn a way to say something, and always say it that way. Good luck.
Ask for samples. It really helps to see what they are saying. sm
Most ESLs say the same things the same way, over and over. You just need to see what they are saying. Then you get it.
I believe MT Desk has samples.

Can't you get any samples from your doc? Eyes are
s
dictation samples
I sent you an email with some info.
Samples? It depends. sm
Sometimes you'll get a large set of sample reports for various physicians. Sometimes you have access to prior reports in the system (which, I have always felt, is a bit dangerous, as far too many times I've seen errors carried over from report to report on a difficult dictator simply because people pulled their samples/canned text from earlier reports that contained mistakes).
Usually, though, when starting out and you have no samples for a particular dictator you just do what you can with him/her then request a corrected copy (or sample) from QA ... that's what I have done, anyway, when I've come across a particularly challenging dictator.
Good luck.
MT Desk also has samples.

I'm afraid the deodorant samples were not a gag...
tho I wanted to gag after opening the box! Yes, that could be true about wanting others (strangers) around since our parents died - I suppose it IS easier emotionally, in a way. Its like being at an office party.
Does anyone know where I can find samples of brochures for....SM
business proposals? I paid to be a member on another MT website, so I can find that information out, but no one has emailed me or responded to any of my posts regarding this question. I am trying to put together a brochure, so I can hand out to the local clinics in my area. I thought I saw a thread somewhere, but I can't remember if it was here or on the other MT website. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. 
What aggravates me are normals and samples
full of obvious typos and stylistic issues that we MTs get dinged for. In fact, I remember having a normal op at one place that had a made-up instrument name in it. It kept coming up on the spell check. Took me months to finally find the proper name.
I've come to expect sloppy and/or poorly written emails from managers and admin staff otherwise.
terminology test samples
I have been searching and searching and searching google, etc. to find a written terminology test to hire two inhouse transcriptionists that I will be interviewing this week. Everyone who comes in the door says they "know" transcription and they "have lots of experience" on their resume, but I find out they don't "know" transcription. I need a test that is pretty broad, that is written, and that is FREE. I can test them on digital physicians, but would really like you see how they handle a terminology test too. Been on internet for two hours now to no avail. Can someone help me? I am only interviewing for inhouse positions (2), so don't everyone flood me with requests for jobs....only inhouse.....only in Southern Indiana. Please? Thanks for your help!!!
Thank you for the IC contract samples! Looks great. : )
I had an MTSO send samples
and had spelling errors.... And she is correcting my work? Puleeze!!! I have 20 years of experience as well and do just fine with my own account making a heck of a lot more than what an MTSO will pay, so it is no sweat off my back to dump the picky ones who are not even right themselves. Their loss not mine!
Ask you acct for samples to look at. And get the Dorland's

Can your employer furnish any samples? SM
They will be really hard to do asking online.
There are sites with operative report samples, that may provide some help. Just google.
Not sure if there are any of that on this, but you can check out. Seen some radiology samples in the

A nice site for ops and other samples
This one has quite a number of good samples and it loads quite quick too. See link below.
I found some on mtdaily.com/mt1/samples.html nm

I know you might be apprehensive to call the office and ask for samples, but (sm)
perhaps you could just call the OM and say you'd like to have a couple of past reports so you can make sure to keep the formatting consistent. I don't think they'd mind either way, but if you approach it as though you're actually doing them a favor (by attempting to "keep the formatting consistent"), then it might be easier for you to do.
I sell Avon, have the samples, and haven't even tried it yet!
Master of none! LOL!

Softext MT CD of Operative Report Samples
Has anyone heard anything about this CD? I found it on ebay. It has over 1000 multispecialty operative sample reports. It's called: Softext Medical Transcription CD of Report Samples. eBay Listing: 180302333955.
Sounds like it could be a really good reference. Just wondering.
