abbreviations and their expansions can be handed by using a double letter at the end if you want it expanded...CVA=CVA and CVAA=cerebrovascular accident. For 2 words I usually use the first 2 letters of each word, caca=cardiac catheterization. pued=pulmonary edema. Also try to develop long phrases where you use the first letter of each word. ptor=The patient was taken to the operating room, as well as different versions of where the patient could be taken, recovery room, angiography suite etc. Let your imagination run wild. I make a game of it and still add things on an almost daily basis. Good luck.

Here's a website with lots of information for you...
http://www.peppinc.org/
These people are great - in the past when I first contacted them they sent me a lot of books and pamplets and didn't charge a dime.
Remember that your child has a right to an education and to have her needs met. The schools must meet them according to the federal laws. Don't back down! A lot of schools actually want parents to home school their kids that don't learn as an "average student" so they don't have to deal with it - but the law doesn't state you have to home school!
There are lots of us out here who agree with
You! I post off and on - most days just don't have the energy, though, as the negative just is so draining. But there are cycles on here, and sometimes for a short time the kinder people are the majority. I miss a lot of the old time posters. This board had a wealth of great regular posters, all driven off by the chaff. They didn't leave in shame or anything, just went on to more professional pastures. Its just the dark side of human nature - this board often reminds me of Lord of the Flies in cyberspace! Know what I mean? And exactly as you said, if these women - and I do for the most part believe 100% that its the women who are negative and catty - if these women saw us face-to-face at the old water cooler, they would drop the nasty mouth immediately! I love the MQ board - this handful of malcontents who work for a company that they claim to believe is robbing them blind. And they trash their bosses and the very hand that signs their paychecks! Its so shameful. If they truly believed they were getting robbed, they'd be long gone. And its got nothing to do with waiting out lawsuits. Some people are just wired like this. Again, every water cooler has them, and these are the lowest of the low in the work place - whether in house or at home employees. We can soften their gossip if we hang out for a while. It does work. Mostly, though, we can't respond to their obvious troll posts - its so hard, but sometimes you just have to not respond. That's what feeds the trolls - don't feed the trolls!! 
I would agree with the walking. And drink lots of
water.
I actually lost 20 lbs. after I started to work at home. No pastries, donuts, pies and candy in the break room anymore. :) And I've had time to walk and I drink water instead of tons of coffee with cream and sugar. Of course I still have my one cup in the morning so I won't yell at the kids. :)
Truth is, as an MT, I can't afford pastries or gourmet coffee. The water comes out of the faucet and the exercise membership, i.e. walking the dog around the neighborhood is free!
Worked for me. Give it a month. You'll not only lose the 10 lbs., you'll really feel great.
I agree... lots of flexibility offers
This is not the only field that offers flexibility or work from home status. Congrats on your raise! It's nice to know someone else likes this line of work....
Gotta agree with you there. My mom was a lab tech -- lots of Christmases and sm
Thanksgivings and other holidays she had to work. Guess that's why it does not bother me so much. The world doesn't stop spinning just because it is a holiday. But those same people who do not want to work holidays would be stunned if they went to the ER and no one was there ... or their house burned down because the firemen wanted to be with their families ... etc.
On the other hand, they did make it known to their employers when hiring on, so if the employer hired them, knowing that, then it is the employer who should get the "shame on you" to placing an extra burden on those of us who ARE willing to work and do our share on holidays.
BBQ, slaw, cornbread, ham, casseroles, lots of veggies, chicken pastry, lots of desserts!! BIG fami
.
Lots of inexpensive decorations at Big Lots. Had a party last year.
s
LOTS and LOTS of video tapes and DVDs.

Agree, agree, agree! Just listen to Benny Hinn..
he speaks perfect English, especially when asking for money! Also, in my opinion, blanks should be left in the doc's dictation if not able to be transcribed, maybe then they will know that are NOT understood. With QA fixing them, what need is there for them to care if we understand them or not?
Thank you. I appreciate the information ...
sounds like a way to reward those whose production and quality are at the top.
Thanks.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
but, with a much better company and I smell management. Take that and smoke it.
Perhaps this information might help:
If you would post a clear statement of the change that is happening and what its expected results will be BEFORE you make such changes, then it wouldn't be viewed so suspiciously.
rec'd no such information
and my count has been 'below production' different times and my benefits didn't change. My supe told me way back when that only if a person "consistently" didn't make production would it affect their benefits.
Where did you get your information? nm.

information
i mentioned something to my supervisor a couple of weeks ago that I "heard" that MQ was offering extra on the line rates to new hires, which upset me, and of course, her response was you can't trust what you hear or see and I know that, but it seems like what i'm seeing on this website seems to be more reliable in some respects than what i get from MQ and like you said, that's really sad. I'm not signed up for IPay so i can't check to see if there's anything there -- guess i could check my bank to see if there's more there.
For your information,
I am not at all overweight. I would really like to know why someone who is as beautiful as you say you are is a transcriptionist?
Information (SM)
If you want to know why your posts are deleted, leave a valid e-mail address. I e-mail the poster why and a copy of their deleted post.
It is not because you have "MQ" in your moniker as a name. Otherwise, take this gripe over your posts being removed to e-mail or it will be deleted.
Don't know where you got your information-
Although a CMA is definitely not a PA, I do not know anywhere you get get what you need in 4-6 weeks. I took the CMA exam after years working in a physician's office, but the programs that I know about in this area are 1-2 years.
Any information on this anyone?
My husband came home from work hearing about something called EDTA (Ethylene~Diamine~Tetra-acetic~Acid). It is suppose to break down the minerals and heavy metals out of your body and make your risk of heart disease a lot lower. Does anyone have an information on this. He would like to take it if it true because of heart disease in his family, although I am not certain he should, as I always worry about the things they don't tell you about the stuff your taking.
Any information would be great.
Thanks!!
Thanks for the information!!!
Thanks to all for the information.
Thanks for the information.
Thanks so much for the information...sm
Final question - I checked out the website that you told me about and that explains it all. One final question - do you have connection problems with this and I guess one more question, and the true final question is the quality of the voice good on the file? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
I appreciate the information. nm

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the information
Thanks to all of you for the helpful information!
Thanks for that information
That is very interesting about the files not being there at all. May be I am not getting the files downloaded correctly. Thanks so much for your help!
Thanks so much for the information!!
:)
where does that information come from?
please give links. I found nothing to substantiate that on my search
Thanks, that is quite useful information, but
you do not continue to believe that air conditioning will kill mold . . . it will not, and nowhere in the document you linked to does it even suggest that. It does provide information about air conditioning lowering the relative humidity of a home, and also that it aids in drying out wet areas (because it lowers the relative humidity).
You are not only misinformed, but also are misinforming others by posting segments of the document that are not connected in any other way than being a part of the same document.
For anyone who is interested, and perhaps does not want to go to the link or read the full text, this is what it actually says.
PREVENTING MOLD GROWTH (begins on page 2)
Page 3, paragraphs 4 and 5
Increase the air flow in problem areas. Move furniture
a few inches away from outside walls so that air
flow will decrease the problem of condensation on
the walls.
If mold is growing in closets, keep closet doors
open to promote air flow. Closets should not be overfilled,as this will reduce air circulation in the closet. Louvered closet doors aid in ventilation. Circulating fans may help with air flow in problem areas.
STRATEGIES FOR PREVENTING OR
REMOVING MOLD GROWTH AFTER CONTAMINATION (begins on page 3)
Page 4, paragraph 3
For many hard surfaces, disinfecting with a solution
of one cup of bleach to one gallon of water is effective.
The area must be kept wet with the bleach for 10 to 15
minutes to kill the mold. If the surface is porous like
wood, the bleach solution may need to be reapplied to
keep the surface wet for the required time. If large areas
of a basement need to be disinfected, a garden sprayer
can be used to apply the bleach solution to the walls. If the walls have been contaminated with sewage, increase the proportion of bleach to water.
MT Information
Hello, I am looking to start working as an MT in order to enable me to homeschool. Can you please share any tips, job openings etc?? I would really appreciate it. I am newly relocated to Lawrenceville GA from NJ. Thanks!!
Need som information..
I would like to start doing things in my own area, get my accounts, etc. I just do not know where to start. Do I type up an "introductory" letter and send them to doc offices? What kind of equipment is the easiest to do this "internet based?" I have A LOT of questions. If someone could email me, I would really appreciate it!!
Thanks
More information....SM
I don't mean a financial deduction. I'm just trying to figure out a percentage score. Here's the details.
The document is 40,178 characters.
There were two critical errors (word left out and wrong dose) and seven noncritical errors (like his instead of has, a instead of an, etc.)
How could I figure a percentage?
thank you for this information
I have been struggling with this decision and your info makes it easier for me to stick with XP. Why mess with a good thing?
Too much information
The doctor just dictated the patient became pregnant on her wedding night. Not something I really needed to know. LOL.
Where did this information come from?? nm

More information.
This program can be set to automatically download files from FTP sites or folders on the computer's hard drive; it's just that you have to do it manually, whereas some of the "more automated programs" came with these things already set up. I use ES for all transcription playback and haven't needed the pricer automation.
As with most opinions, they are subjective, but happy for the discourse.
Just for your information....
There was no lack of willingness to fill anybody in about anything. I was going to tell her everything from top to bottom about the account, what I was looking for and find out what she was looking for so as to make a perfect fit. She was not "signing her life away" either. I am only looking for 2-3 hours per day and the time you complete the work is totally up to you. As far as being miserable to work for, I haven't had anyone work for me before because I have been the only person in my business, doing hospital account along with IC positions. I don't have to offer more cpl to get anyone to work for me. In fact, I could just keep all of it for myself, but because I try to keep my clients happy I am needing to get another person on-board so as to keep TAT within reason. As far as I'm concerned this discussion can be locked. I can't believe the hateful and bitchy remarks made to a totally innocent inquiry. As I haven't had to go through the hiring process before, I was wondering if this was the norm, that you get people like this when you interview. After all of this, I think I will just continue to do all the work myself. There will be less headaches for all involved and more money for me in the long-run. So all of you who had a problem with a simple inquiry, go back to your little holes and be happy. I've got work to do!
Thanks for the information...nm

Exactly where are you getting this information?
LOL - "all other countries?"
Source, please.
Why can't Americans dispense with some of their arrogance and try harder to understand/be understood?
I have NO problem with ESLs in general because they oftern try harder to be understood than American mumblers/speeders.
You have old information.
MT Information
Treasia,
I graduated from a MT course in 06. It was a nine month course and I found it very helpful. I would think with your knowledge you would only need a Med.Term class for refreshers. (Which you probably do not need,but almost everyone wants). I also feel I should mention, which is something that I wish someone would have told me starting off,
MOST PLACES REQUIRE 2 YEARS BEFORE THEY ALLOW YOU TO WORK FROM HOME.
The college I would recommend is Indian Hills Community College, in Ottumwa Iowa. They offer all classes for this program online. They have a great set up and for all the interviews I have been on most of the employers comment on how great the classes were and sometimes they even went above and beyond what was required. Hope this helps and good luck to you.
Thank you for this information -
Thank you so, so much. This is actually going to help me, too, on another project I am doing on my home computer. I just happened to read the post. I went to the website, and it looks like it is perfect! It works with all window applications.
All the best - 
For your information,
"your" s/b spelled "you're!"
Second of all, I did not complain about every post! There are very supportive and positive people here, and you are NOT one of them! Once again, you are not even addressing the real issues here! If you don't have anything positive to say, then go away! Wow! I think there is less hostility in Iraq right now, than on this board! 
Go away negative/unsupportive posters! We don't need you here! Helpful info only welcome!
Information for
becoming an editor. We may be going to powerscribe and I want to get as much education to prepare for this transaction if it takes place. Does anyone have any information or great websites or even books to help me prepare for this?
Any and all information would be great. Thanks
Have you gotten information on this yet?
x
thank you for that information....sm
I kept calling both numbers and they were busy for a long time. Finally, left message with President Obama's service. Also, left message with Senator Steve Levy's service. I just hope everyone does this :)
For your information . . .
My daugther will be 18 in June and no she is not having sex. She isn't even dating yet. She is very involved in school and education. Also, she does not want the Gardaisl shot. She came to me about it before she heard my opinion as several of her friends had bad experiences with them. The doctor did a breast exam ---which is why I was asked to leave. It is required in my state for a driver's permit -- no gyno exam. No she does not need to be vaccinated. I want her to live. Several girls have died. Cervical cancer is treatable and there is no hard proof Gardasil even works. So far I'm only seeing the bad side effects. The first girl ever to get it died within minutes. And yes, I have tried to do research on my own regarding back x-rays. I'm finding varies information, which is why I posted here.
seems there was information about...
seems a while back someone was discussing the netbook, I use a laptop and wireless and works great. The only difference with the netbook is no CD rom or DVD, otherwise works with a separte keyboard, as Id o with the laptop
More information please!
I am wondering if you can supply more information please?
Where did you locate this job?
Where did you take the test?
I am thinking of taking some classes and am not sure how flexibly my company will be so I am looking at any and all possibtilites.
Thank you!
Information please
Hi Jane Doe,
I would like to send a personal e-mail and talk with you.
why would we need your information sm
if you are a business development executive? We are MTs. We dont need your info. A better word for us is language specialists and its obvious you don't have a grasp of the English language!
