The medical center by my home is the same (sm)
The last time I was in there the receptionist said that all their dictation is done by EMR. The doctor pulls up the patient file, dictates into a little black machine, and it is automatically put into the record. The receptionist said this is done at THEIR medical center and ALL THEIR SATELLITES. I was not at all happy to hear this. They used to have transcriptionists.
Here are some more - Maine Medical Center, sm
Fairview Health System, Gwinnett Medical Center, Atlanta, Piedmont Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess, Charlston Medical Center, West Virginia, Pacific California Hospital, UMass hospital, Marin General Hospital, California, New England Baptist, and the list goes on and on and on.
Eastern Maine Medical Center
I miss working with other people. I miss having a QA person or a supervisor I know and can go talk to. I miss the hospital gossip and hearing about people's grandkids. Sigh. I left them to work at home figuring it would be all that. But it's not. Sigh....
Mobile Infimary Medical Center
It depends on what department you are going into. Are you Medical Records MT? or Radiolgy MT?
Does anyone know where to find a listing of the V.A. Medical Center physicians?
Thanks for the help.
It was a very very large medical office that
outsources the transcription to various transcriptionists rather than to a service. The form that I was sent for formatting, I was told is basically the way they do it, but yet, the transcription I did for them definitely did not apply to the format.
I think you're a little off center
Attitude has nothing whatsoever to do with "success" these days. I personally know too many MTs, working for different companies, with very legitimate complaints and they aren't the cry baby types. I am a good MT also but what difference does that make if there's no work? I always asked the same question, "Do your MTs run out of work?" I do not have time to sit around all day waiting to see if there might be some work to do...either I work or I don't. Every recruiter assured me that there was plenty of work. They lied. I have worked now for 2 years for the same company and this time the recruiter told me there was plenty of work and obviously there is or I wouldn't still be there. If and when I start running out of work with them, I am out of MT period. So, I guess, I have to revise my first statement a little. If anyone finds the right company for them, then attitude probably does have everything to do with success. As for myself, I rarely hear anything from the company I work for other than regularly getting my pay stub that my pay has been direct deposited on time and for the correct amount. I think some MTs put too much emphasis on line rates. 1500 lines per day at 8.5 cpl comes out to a whole lot more than 200 lines at 15 cpl. As for my line rate, it isn't terribly impressive but I make as much as I want to make and don't have to kill myself doing it so these days that's about all one can expect IMO.
We have a bowling center
And our employees get free bowling, lol!!
How do I center something in Word?
thanks
document solution center
Jen: Is that the one in Gadsden? with Tina Parker as president? You can email me for more info, but I worked for them for 2 1/2 years and I would not recommend it to anyone. Thanks, Beth
Dell's support center
Dell provides technical support from their American staff only to CORPORATE clients, all others, like you and me, we get INDIA.
It's probably a telemarketing call center
using a computerized sequential dialer program - I think they've been outlawed in most of the US states. If you have caller ID, just don't answer unless you know who's calling.
No, it does not. The call center is probably overseas

Virtual Learning Center MT Course
Has anyone done this? It looks good....but I need to know before I spend the money.
Thanks.

Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone had any good/bad info on this company. I can't seem to find much information on them. Thanks.

The surgery center personnel are just as guilty, IMO. sm
Doctors are not untouchable. Any nurse or tech or secretary who has direct knowledge of a doctor using illegal substances and going into surgery is contributing to the problem.
I do virtual call center work and was having sm
trouble with people knocking and calling me interrupting my work. They were always asking for dumb things! (I'm single and this is our only income.)
The more time for homeschooling was a surprise!
We have been to the park more too. He is getting to bed by 8:30 (before it was Always after 10 no matter what I did) and I'm getting more sleep too.
Thank you for the help and advice. :)
SIL says she went through Wellspan Community Health Center. sm
any idea how to call them? i am not finding that exact name info. i did find roseann freundel as a DO student in WV but just pictured and an article. no contact info.
Actually a surgery center is acute care.
But surgery is surgery. Clinic work is not transcribing anything too invasive other than a Botox injection if you're lucky. I would think about that rate for transcribing surgeries. 8.5 is low.
Insect bites, center water blister.
For an entire month maybe once or twice a week, I have been bitten by some unknown sneaky bug that leaves a center water blister and a huge red swollen area around the blister, maybe the size of a half dollar coin. I have been putting neosporin on it but would love to know what is biting me. I woke up this morning with 3 extra bites. I knew about the one on my wrist which has already started to blister. I am thinking of going to the doctor but don't want to look like a wacko going in for nothing. However, I absolutely hate insects and they seem to love me with the bites.
The itching seems to happen when I am in the backyard (lots of trees and bushes). So, might be getting bit there first then the bites get worse as time goes by. They leave scabby cicular scars. The skin looks healed but very dark.
Anyone else with this experience or should I just head to the doctor. Can't really afford it but tired of the bites and the scars they are leaving. Thanks.
Question inside about Renting from Rent-A Center. sm
What was your expeience? Is it very expensive? I was thinking about renting a laptop computer to use for work on vacation for a couple of weeks and not ready to invest in purchasing a new laptop yet. Can you rent things for about a month or do they require longer?
Thanks for any help you guys might give.');>![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/shake.gif")
I would buy new a Dorland's Medical Dictionary, Stedmans Medical and Surgical Equipment...SM
and Tessier's The Surgical Word Book, 3rd edition. Books you could buy used I would say would be Stedman's Pathology and Lab Medicine and Cardiology/Pulmonary word book. These are all the books I use the most during my day. You could buy other speciality word books as you need them and could probably go used with those.
I wouldn't bother with buying a drug book, new editions come out every year and I just stick to the FDA website and RXList as my drug references.
Also FYI, not a book, but I use my Stedman's Electronic Medical Dictationary a lot. It's easier to open the program than it is to pick up a huge 30-pound dictionary.
America Online has a huge call center in India too.
No, not at all. Brand new Super Center, nice area. But have never seen the stickers.

Might want to scoop some into a Baggie and take them to the local nursery/garden center to ID. nm

Medical Transcription In The Era Of Electronic Medical Records
EMR has revolutionized the healthcare industry in recent times. Many experts felt that EMR & Voice Recognition would totally replace Medical Transcription - however; the industry soon realized that transcription has certain advantages over point & click charting and many physicians preferred to dictate notes rather than document the data at the point of care themselves.
Search The Deborah Heart and Lung Center, Mayo Clinic or other big institutions for research. nm

Yes, in our bedroom, large though 27 x 12 - sm
We plan to build though in about 3 years (have some property)...getting a home office then....either a separate room or a room off the bedroom, but my own space anyway. Can't wait!
Thanks! The 16" look so small and the 20" so large! nm

I have 2 - one large, one small
My first was a very nice rose in the upper-inner quadrant of my left breast. I thought about it for 17 years before I did it. It kind of felt like going to the GYN when I had it do. The guy was very professional and let me catch my breath from time to time. The more fill-in work, the more painful. The more it is just an outline, the less painful.
The other is something private but special to me to honor my kids on my lower back, but above the bikini line. That was much more painful but different guy and it went much faster as I cussed a lot more with fewer breaks.
If I ever get another one it will be a circle on top of the sternum with the leters DNR inside!
Laser - large HP
I have a large HP, three drawer laser printer and I go through 500 sheets of chart note paper, probably another 400 to 600 for consults and letters per month and probably 200 envelopes per week and I seriously use only at the maximum of 3 toners per year and they are $110 per toner recycled. My printer gets 10,000 to 15,000 copies per toner so about every three to four months I get one. I spend more on the chart paper than I do the toners. But that is all figured into my cpl.
You can go to B&N or Borders and they have a large
section of educational workbooks. You can even find workbooks at Wal-Mart in the toy section. You can Google and find tons of stuff depending on what subjects you want.
Depends on how large it was - sm
If it was the $1000 for life (which here is only good for 10 years, guess they don't expect you to live long, ha, ha), I would probably take a little time off (say a month or two) so I could get some things done around here. Taxes would cut that down to a little over $2K a month, so that would end up being just a little more than I make now. After my "leave of absence" continue to work but probably at about half schedule so I could have more time for me. IF I ever hit one of millions, I would quit in a heartbeat, but buy the company (small local) I work for and give the office manager (a great lady) one heck of a raise, hire her at least 1 assistant and 2 FT QA, and change a few things about the company in its day to day operations. Then I would just observe the runnings, but not actively participate, couldn't anyway as I'd be living 2+ hours away in my new house/estate on the river.
large company.
My IC pays 4/10 for an eScription account.
Tip of a very large iceberg...
I am in the process of working with an attorney to address some compensation issues at a company I shall kindly remain nameless cuz I'm a nice guy; but the problem is industry-wide so once the issue gets heard and ruled on, we will have the groundwork laid to address it globally and the court to point me there. I'm not sure what that will look like; one step at a time. there are specific laws that address the work we do and they are flat ignored. There are also laws for telecommuters... ditto. I see this offshoring issue same story different channel. Laws and protocols disregarded because it costs money to adhere to them. I think our fragmented work environment, as well as the relatively new concepts of where we work and how we are paid have allowed a lot of our employers to disregard the laws because, frankly have managed to stay off the radar screen. Personally, I do not think these are quick fixes like letters or news releases. They first require fact gathering; I keep thinking about VR and wondering if someone is going to study the success or lack of same, or if it's going to hang over our head and be tossed around subjectively forever. Does anybody anywhere like it? lol... I have thought after getting this discussion heard by the court, that it might prompt the next thing to do. I have piles of reading and delving done about this; I am very interested in exploring it. I won't form an opinon about the outsourcing thing because I just havent looked at it in detail yet. Has anyone else? I'd be curious to know if it is really so much cheaper since, in my observation, much of it requires re-work. So back to before by tangeant...I think these are very complex problems requiring very complex investigations and presenting of hard a fast data. Opiniating just lends itself to more of the same thing.. arguing, where everyone choosed an opinion that fits their personal agenda. But that's just MY opinion. I could be all wet! Aaaamen, sing it over...

Large Macros
Can anyone tell me how to monitor whether making a whole report macro is worthwhile? I have quite a few, but I cannot decide if it is worth it or not. I end up having to make changes and delete things. Often seems like kind of a toss up and wonder if anyone has any guidelines for this or has experiemented with any specific result.
Thanks for any help you can give me! 
large macros
Huge macros have never seemed to help me, but on one account, there's a cardiologist who puts two huge jawbreakers into his mouth and then dictates at top speed. I managed to take his long ROS and his short ROS and his short PE and long PE and make four very useful macros, but I put @@ in at the variables. Works great for me. Turns out the guy says the same thing over and over, but it just sounds different if he's speaking Martian that day, or Yugoslavian, or pig latin. Good luck.
I am doing the same thing, large sm
medical centers, working for a national MT service, lots of nurses,NPs, students also. It is straight typing. I have thousands of short cuts in my system. I do not have templates, normals etc. About once a week I MIGHT get a normal ophthalmology report, but I suspect those are all being kept in house. It took me a while to figure out how to make this work but once you make up your mind you can do it.
Having just had a large pay cut, I no longer do

Not Spheris or other large national. nm
large file transfer
My MTSO sends large volumes of new account info (tons of normals, etc) in compressed files thru e-mail. Don't know anything else about compressed files, but thought it might be worth checking out.
Webmedx, probably about 300 MTs. is that large or small?

Monitor-Hyundai (large) for $150...sm
Bought at Best Buy (monitor) or Office Depot (Logitech mouse)
But the monitor is big, not a thin trinitron.......you could go to the website or contact dell dot com for pricing of a thin monitor.
Best luck!!
I agree. I can't imagine having a BR that large.
I don't even think my family room is 600 square feet so I can only imagine what an 850 square foot bedroom must be like! When I win the lottery (LOL!) I'll have one!
