Putting patient versus The patient (sm)
When did this "rule" come about? I've been an MT/Editor/medeical records tech/ART for 30 years - Never, ever was I told to put that. You cannot make the sentence be "The patient sent to Radiology" but you can put "Patient sent to Radiology."
Thats just insane.
Yep -- ROAD RAGE
NM
I'm in Aylett, just up the road, near Rt. 30 & 360. - sm
Do you work in-house somewhere or at home? I am at home and currently working PT for a local company. Drop me an email...think it is listed with my OP.
idiots on the road
We have the top 6 out of 10 dangerous intersections in our county all within 5 miles of home. One if my kids go to the mall, one on the way to school, two on the way to their best friends houses and one on the way to the bank/grocery,doctor's..go figure .
All 6 have the same main corridor in common, so our township thought they'd get smart and put concrete dividers in to replace what they called "deadman left turn lanes"..ok sounded smart
Now, the state is trying out a new fangled system for our emergency personell that changes all traffic lights to green (fire or police activate it) because..the idiots who installed the concrete barriers made them too high and the fire trucks/ambulances can NOT get over them to get around stopped traffic
I absolutely hated when my kids got wheels because anywhere they were going was through one of these intersections and case in point, I sat at a light in the worst of them all, I could hear the siren and see the lights flashing coming but did the kid with the bass in front of me?..nah and jumped at the light and crammed right into the ambulance that was coming through . No one really hurt but I have told all of mine that I best NOT get a call about an accident like that one.
Oh and forgot, since the levy did not pass, all the high schoolers will not be bussed, so look for the entrance to school as making the above list
Same Here - Road Runner
I'm in Upstate NY, Syracuse area and I haven't had any problems with mine either.
working on the road
I use a laptop and an air card from Verizon. Works like a charm!
Working on the road
Shouldn't be a problem, especially if you can dial toll free. It's also easy if you use online dictation. We went to Reno and stayed at a hotel for a week last winter and I used the hotel's wireless internet in the room for my work. Had fun and didn't still worked my 3 hours a day. I did have to pay a weekly rate for the internet but it was worth it. Just be sure to bring a long telephone cord. Have fun!
I also have done transcription, even going down the road.
I use a Verizon broadband which is similar to what ATT offers and it costs the same, around $60 but it pays for itself sometimes when hotels we have been to in Vegas etc.. want to charge $12-14 a day for internet use. I love being able to go on vacation and still not miss work. Some people think when you go on vacation you should not work, but I do both...I get up early, do some work, and play the rest of the day.

a doctor (neurologist). This is potentially extremely dangerous for drivers and others on the road. You can get a medication called "Provigil" that will keep you alert for the trip.
Pat/Awaiting Road Runner
I hope you get it soon! I used to dial up, all kind of problems, slow, slow. Then switched to RR and for over a year now, NADA a problem at all, zilch...it is always here..you will enjoy it
Beatles - Abbey Road. nm
:)
Yes, I work on the road all the time. I have...
I have a TASP (MetroScript) and so I can download my voice files as long as I can get an Internet connection. I even worked while on vacation in another country. It was awesome (well... working on vacation was not so great). We had no problem finding free wireless connections in the US but I did have to dial up when we were in another country. But my TASP handled everything else. I'm actually very happy with them. (www.metroscript.com)
YOU CAN EVEN CRUISE/TAKE ROAD TRIP
I'm leaving again next week on a cruise, and can take the work with me. As an MTSO, I don't have to transcribe, but could if I needed; just download via ship internet to laptop and type offline, then send back. I use to move files, answer emails, and JUST IN CASE, have the ability to transcribe should the world fall apart while I'm gone! Also, if you get an AIRCARD, you CAN download/send files while traveling where phone signal is available. Life is good with flexibility!!!
Any tips for MTing on the road?
I am packing up my laptop and heading out soon for week away. Plan to work part of the time from the hotel. Any tips from those who have done the mobile thing before? My biggest concern is that I won't be able to take my books and only I have a couple of electronic Stedman's.
MT on the road using C-phone or Lanier? (sm)
Anyone have any suggestions for using a C-phone or Lanier while traveling? I'm planning a vacation and will stay in a hotel (with separate work space). I've worked before while traveling with my laptop and transcribed via wav files or a tape transcriber, but never with a C-phone. I've thought about purchasing a calling card to use the hotel's phone line to dial in; know it'll be expensive. Any ideas and recommendations on this plan are much appreciated, i.e., calling card, hotel's phone line.
Thanks!
I hope this applies to companies like Medquist. I hope there
isn't a way they can get around it. I REALLY hope.

if i were being promised things that weren't being followed through, i'd hit the road. sm
i agree on the decreasing the bonus but maybe they didn't have as productive of a year this year or didn't clear as much in their pocketbooks as they would like, lol. i technically think all companies should give something; after all, a gift is a tax write off anyway. better to give to those busting our tails for them rather than uncle sam. i haven't gotten anything but cards in the last 3 years so i am used to it by now and don't expect it but i would definitely be grateful even for a meal gift card or anything for that matter.
Right now all of our efforts are to get her better and on the road to recovery. What may lie ahead
in terms of lawsuits, etc., will be addressed at a later date. Her getting better is our #1 priority. I was just amazed at how the process has been handled so far. It really is a shame.
Road Runner lately in Upstate NY has been slow. U R not alone.
Certainly you should have to meet your
But as the MTSO it is not your business to know what I am doing with my time unless I am not meeting the deadline. I have a deadline to meet with all of my clients, but I certainly do not report to my clients my daily goings on in my life as it is none of their business. As an independent contractor, the MTSO cannot set my hours. Punching a time clock is for employees not independent contractors.
How many here would like to meet?
Let's start with a few southern places and see how many would actually meet in spring next year:
1) Memphis, Tennessee
2) St. Louis, Missouri
3) Kansas City, Missouri
4) Atlanta, Georgia
5) Dallas, Texas
Anyone interested in getting a group in for 2-3 days in any of those places next spring?
Then you are an absolute FOOL. Down the road, you'll wish you were never involved

Makes me think of Beatles Polythene Pam from Abbey Road. nm
Also love Mean Mr. Mustard, sleeps in the park, shaves in the dark trying to save paper. Sleeps in a hole in the road, saves enough to buy some clothes, keeps a five-pound note up his nose, such a dirty old man...dirty old man.
Three months ago I switched to Road Runner voice over IP.
I'm very happy with it. I'm on the phone for hours and haven't had any problems with them as of yet. We'll see what the future brings.
It might help if several of you set up a day and time and meet there.

How do you meet the buyer?
Do you have to let strangers in your house? I'd be afraid they'd be looking around to case the joint.
She still has to meet TAT and recording
not a good idea. What if that report is recorded off and the hospital/office needs access to it right away? If she is off somewhere with it on a tape, that could be a huge problem.
IC doesn't mean you can do whatever you want to do! And if recording makes the sound quality such that you cannot produce an accurate report, then I would think that would be unacceptable.
Curious - just to meet?
Dallas, TX
I would meet in Dallas also.

Here! Good to meet you. That guy was
something else, but did give me a chance to learn ops at an hourly pay, so I have him to thank. That was a long time ago, and far far away! Memories! Hi to all my friends who worked in the room with no lights, and the money tree with the bugs. LOL.
Long and winding road, but back in high school
 My favorite album was Sgt. Pepper's, I listened to it over n over until the tape wore out and finally broke. I keep meaning to replace my old collection with CDs. I used to have posters of the Beatles all over the walls, collected those circle john lennon sun glasses, the whole deal.
Formerly SadMT has now received her new Dell PC and is now on the road to happiness! Just wanted to
thank everyone for all your good suggestions and advice last weekend! Now, I can get serious about the job search!
I miss Greensboro. I used to live on Dolley Madison Road.
Before that, on Francis King Street in Guilford College. I loved Greensboro so much. I know where Pleasant Garden is.
Hoosiers, Road Warrior, Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Live in PA too and while no road problems here, I sure do have one flooded basement and a mess to cl

Overhire as long as one meet TAT

Meet me here Saturday night.
I would love to chat. I'll be working Saturday evening if you want to check back then.
I too have struggled to meet quota since (sm)
starting DQS, but nothing has been said to me about it. But if they do ask why, you better believe me, I will give them more than an ear full! I hate working and feeling like if I don't meet production, I'm gonna lose my job or something. This job is already stressful enough between the bad dictators and feeling like I'm getting my lines ripped off since DQS, I mean come on, they need to give us a break! 
Howdy, nice to meet another PJ.
I love psych, but the work is hard to find as many facilities keep that one for in-house only due to all the extra precautions that need to be taken regarding psych info. If you land an account, you guard it with your life!
So Nice To Have A Place To Meet Again!
I wish the MT help desk would come to this board to answer questions, etc. I hate talking on the phone, being put on hold, being transferred from one person to another, getting called back when I'm changing a dirty diaper, etc.
For you married folks, how did you meet? sm
Through friends/family? At school? Met each other at the grocery store when you reached for the same loaf of bread at the same time? Through an internet dating site?
MEET ON DIET BOARD???!!!
This is excited to hear so many on and starting out with this diet. I am starting a thread on the diet board so we can keep track of progress!!! This will be great support!!!
I think she should meet him in public place..nm

If you meet the criteria for an IC, they are right. If you do not, they are just calling you that

CHAT ROOM MEET @ 7:00 EST
Hi all,
There is a group of us planning to meet in the chat room at 7:00 EST tonight. All are welcome. 
Agree with you. As long as you meet TAT, you
