Just make it so the your work schedule does not overlap. I generally try to work 1 during the day, and do the other a few hours at night. If I get the one done at night early enough I may start on my other IC jobs work until I get to tired and go to bed. Probably work about 10 hours or so a day with a big break between 3:30 and 7:30 basically. It is not hard to do, just if you slack off at one, then it is hard to get caught back up and stay that way.

They were covered in my MT course, and
I have read hundreds of them (used to work in health insurance claims).
that pretty well covered it....
Are they very quick with getting back with you when you apply? I have 5 years exp and taught one quarter of med trans at a local community college. I'm working in a doc office now (not doing transcription) but want to get back into working at home doing transcription. I had gotten away from it in 2004 because my husband got deployed and I wanted to make sure we had good insurance while he was gone which is why I took the job with the doc office. He was gone for 16 months and is now home and getting ready to take a really good job, which is going to allow me to start working at home again doing transcription. Hoping to hear from them soon. Thanks again for your input!!!
Wow, you have a lot covered in that dish. How about
cottage cheese. Bread of course.
Nay, my back is covered, don't worry about me! nm

Chocolate-covered strawberries.....Yum Yum!!!

Couple of thoughts....I have a covered box as well, and one cat would do the same
thing as yours if I didn't make sure the litter box was clean. (I had 2 cats using it). So, I make sure to dump it out once a day and then spritz in a citrus smellie thing as well as sometimes sprinkle baking soda in the bottom. This, of course, is in between the times before I change out the litter. Also, another idea that may or may not work is to put foil on the mat. My cousin had a cat that started to pee on the spare bed--no known reason--and she learned somewhere about cats not liking to go onto foil. So, she keeps sheets of foil on top of the bed. It works. Maybe also try to catch him in the act and push him all the way into the litter box to re-train him that this is not acceptable, maybe a little spank as you catch him and push him inside. Cats are trainable in some ways.
Names are not covered. You can call any
hospital and unless the pt is a psych patient, they will tell you if they are a patient or not--unless they have requested the info not be given out.

This stuff should be covered at least a little in your MT program. How are you getting educated? nm
,
Companies have to be sure they are covered for specific times, many
places have set hours, some have 10 hour window for an 8-hour shift, but they still have to know when you are working, you can't just work whenever you feel like it.
I do not carry E&O insurance, but I do have my equipment covered under my HO policy.
My office is in my home and, God forbid, there should be a fire, I'd be out of business. I have coverage for my computer, printer, fax, phones and loss of use on a separate rider. Also, should anyone injury themselves coming or going from my office while doing business with me, their injuries are covered. Perhaps this is the information you're looking for.
Maybe my thinking is off here but . . do if I was covered under my husband's bennies program I&#
I like working at home too much I guess - not really in a rut, just very, very comfy here and like being my own boss all day long. JMHO.
It was wonderful outside. The butterfly bush is covered with butterflies of all colors. nm

I just dump them in a covered bowl with vinegar and sliced onion. nmx

I do not have a big old butt
I just joined this craziness a few days ago. I do not hate having many accounts, I do not mind trying to remember each profile and I would gladly have more accounts but THERE IS NO WORK ON THE ACCOUNTS. The main word here is NO WORK.
I do not wear bifocals or slober. Sounds like you are describing yourself.
You must be an expert MT and love you job so why are you not doing it?
Sorry to butt in, but I'd say...
This is what I would say in a very sympathetic and concerned voice,
"I need to talk to you. I can hear you a great deal of the time, and I feel very uncomfortable about it. I am probably hearing more than you want me to. I am sure you would feel uncomfortable having me hear your private conversations, so I just wanted to let you know that I can hear you."
There is a seat for every butt, there is the
"one" for everyone, you just have to find them or they have to find you. I believe there is a soulmate out there for everyone.
I have mine!
Working my butt off too
I have beening working my butt off too but recently a lawyer has been asking me why not bankruptcy and now I am also questioning it. I had problems when my son was born that just could not be helped and I am trying to rebuild now.
Probably around $24K if you kick butt - sm
Not too many MTs make $44K; if they do they either work 18+ hours a day or have their own accounts and still work long hours. If you need a steady reliable income you are best staying where you are; or do your current job at home if you can.
butt cheeks !!!
OMGSH. That is hilarious. I hope they don't expect you to actually type that. I hope they want buttocks instead. I had this one doc years ago who could not remember how to say "urinate" or couldn't pronounce it. He tried and tried and just couldn't get it out and so he put it bluntly, " And the patient peed" He had a hard time with the English language.
butt cheeks---Unfortunately, sm
It's a verbatim account! He later uses the word "butt" alone. I cringe every time I get one of his dictations.
Help! My butt is numb! SM
Okay, I'm working in the office for the next month training someone (I work for a hospital). Anyway, cubicle that is supposed to pass for my workstation is AWFUL! Because all the MTs are at home, the hospital of course doesn't spend money on office furniture and the chair I have to use is just the pits. It leans slightly to the left and forward and my left buttock is going numb and sometimes aching (like a pinched nerve). I don't really want to gripe or complain because I'm only here temporarily, but man I miss my comfy chair and desk at home!
So I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions of things I can do to center my chair a little better. It has wheels, so putting something under the chair to raise the left side up won't work. I have thought about a seat cushion of some sort, problem is I'm afraid putting a cushion under my left buttock will throw everything off and cause me to have issues on the right side of my back and butt!
It is amazing how one tiny little shift can wreak such havoc! I feel like the princess and the pea!
Help! My butt is numb! SM
I know exactly whatyou mean! I don't know if it's my age or what, but I am also very sensitive to my seating. I don't understand why they won't let you bring in your own chair just while you're working there. If I take a job at the local hospital and am not able to bring in my own chair, I won't make it through the day!
Speaking of chairs, I prefer a knee chair with a back, but the cheapest ergonomic one I've seen is $400 from BizChair. It has kind of a sling for a seat. It seems that almost any traditional seat makes my "cheek" bones ache by the end of the day. Any suggestions out there for us sensitive sitters who don't want to take out a loan for a seat?
I hate to butt in here but GP was
stating her opinion. Take it or leave it. You are the one slamming, not her.
You don't have to start bashing someone because they gave an opinion...and FYI, I wouldn't work for someone that has to wait until they get paid either. Two months is a long time to wait....and I'm talking from experience, too.
Now, could you kick my butt into gear? LOL
 I don't wanna work today. Not sure if it's the rainy weather or if it's just my total lack of motivation!
Just don't go at it from the aspect of "pain in the butt" sm
Never approach a new specialty as a possible "pain in the butt"... think of it as more knowledge, a great learning experience. I loved cardiology, and with your experience in the medical field, if you really enjoyed it and paid attention to what went on around you (medically), you will do just fine! My first account was ERs... for about three years, with a slow introduction to a specialty at a time. I still LOVE ERs... but I can do them all because I wanted to KNOW as much as possible about it all... but ERs give a great overview to all specialties ... GOOD LUCK, and have fun learning something new every day... I still do after 11 years!!
Opinions are like butt holes, everyone has one. (nm)
I just sit on my fat butt and watch it grow. nm

Butt ugly comes to mind! LOL...nm

training is kicking my butt
I've been training with a company the last four days, five reports a day, and I can't seem to get consistent results.
I guess expecting to be perfect after four days is a little rough but I keep making the same mistakes. There are just so many little details, and it's about a huge subject -- verifying the patient info, which could make them kick me to the curb before I even get in full time. It's just so hard to do on this new platform which I am not used to... it might be because I haven't encountered every type of report error yet. Hopefully that's what it is, and I'll learn everything in time (versus having to deal with a permanent brainfart when it comes to this issue).
Thankfully my transcription itself rocks according to QA. Otherwise I'm sure they would have asked me to return my foot pedal and delete the system from my computer!
training is kicking butt
I think I know which company and I quit because of all the steps you had to do before you could start typing and/or VR.
my butt will probably just get bigger, but I choose face
Look at Madonna, bod is solid as a rock but that FACE ---eek
Thats why I left Medquist. I was busting my butt for them
I never thought his skinny pockmarked butt was hot
gross
Really? Can you explain why or are you just blowing smoke out your butt again?

Sorry, butt I do not think that a 'lazy' MT makes it through an MT school,
no matter how bad the school is.
Must not be too good then. I'm kicking butt and taking names

Sounds like my old job, pain in the butt, all that crap slows you
Clinic is generally easier, but you can get longer reports with acute care generally. Kind of a toss-up I think. I get slowed down most when I have to look up the doctor's name and addresses when I do letters. Doing a bunch of clinic notes/evaluations tonight where they supply a patient list and all the doctors names and addresses.....saves me tons of time....but that is a rarity. Oh well, good luck.
Considering Peter Preziosi (PP) is going to India to do some serious butt kissing...
.
Bottom line, just worry about your own butt instead of kissing theirs ; ) LOL

Don't worry - it kicked my butt for a LOT longer than 4 days,
and I've been in this business for over 30 years. It jujst takes time to absorb new information, and when you get so many things thrown at you at once, it takes even longer. Verifying pt. info. was a sticking point with me, too. The huge list of possible choices was hard to read, and there wasn't always a perfect match.
ALSO.... once you're considered "trained" and not under a microscope, little mistakes will be little to no issue. I think QA just gets a little picky during training, to try to get people started off doing things as correctly as possible.
Hang in there, and it'll all sort itself out in time.

The ball works for the butt, but not so well for the lower back.
I sat on an exercise ball for about 2-1/2 years (with a 3 month break in between after giving birth to my son). The first 1-1/2 years before I had my son were great, as my abs were in pretty good shape. After the delivery and after my abs were shot, I had a hard time keeping good enough posture of my back and ended up putting more strain on my lower back, causing injury. I just switched back to a regular chair, and my back feels great comparitively, but my butt hurts. I am going to try one of those donut things though.
If you do try the exercise ball, I noticed that if I kept moving on it, I typed faster and produced more (kept me going more), but be very careful to make sure you are keeping a good posture.
Good luck.
Same problem, usually crave about a week before my period - pain in the butt-
and yes, dark chocolate works wonder! But cutting out all sweets, etc. should help procure a cure, I am going to try it as I have 70 pounds to hack off. Maybe suck on a mint/TicTac type of thing will help.
I just go paper route as I find TT a pain in the butt and it takes me longer actually - sm
plus they flag our return every year anyway (4 years running) so I am not wasting my time and money on it. My refund takes 4-8 weeks depending on their inventive reasons to hold our refund, but it always comes through eventually, last year it only took 1 month total. So I am hoping this year to get the same, need to get off my but and it it as we have $1400 coming back. TT is supposed to be reliable, and guaranteed, as long as all the info. you put is is correct and you can back it up, go for it, you already spent the money on the software you might as well use it.
Every company is different -- I worked FT for one as an employee but worked a split shift - sm
So I never took breaks. I would work 5 hours, break for about 4 hours then do another 3. Another company I worked for did not care what hours you worked (IC) but wanted a min. amount of work each day, 500 for PT and 1000 for FT-- BUT they paid you by how many lines an hour you put out, the higher the lph the higher up the scale you made per line in pay; they have since changed everyone to a flat rate with incentive. But bottom line, if you are an IC it does not matter what hours you work, though many ask for a schedule and ask you to stick to it, they just want you to meet line requirements daily, i.e. 1000 per day, 1200 per day, whatever it is.
I got up early, worked during naps, and worked when DH got home.
You have to be disciplined to make yourself work when baby is napping instead of maybe watching TV or doing housework, etc.
I might also go the route of having a teen come into your home, or either trying a mother's morning out program at a local church/daycare. I've been home since my youngest was born and he has never been in all-day daycare, but I did have him in a mother's morning out program 15 hours a week at a local church. It didn't help a lot with my work schedule because I had an older son in school and was a room mom and tutored other kids, but that might be an option. The only problem with the mother's morning out program is they are around other kids and tend to pick up every germ. I finally took my DS out of the program because he stayed sick. You were supposed to keep them off if they had green nasal discharge and I did, but no one else did. Every time I got him well after 2 to 3 days back he would be sick again. Other than that it was very good for him because he would not have had a chance to be around kids his age otherwise.
I worked on that system when I worked there...
The thing that chapped my hide about that TWS was that they designed it so that all the headers of each section of the report were canned and thus you were not paid for them, even though you had to take your hand off the keyboard and mouse down a list of paragraph headers to chose the one you needed. Just racking up more profits for themselves. Ticks me off.
that is what is being worked out, and has been worked on for the last few years already...only
why are we just hearing this now? I know voice recog has been around, but this is entirely different. This will also make coding and billing obsolete.
Don't know why, but it just bothers me that one of our 'own' is the one pushing this...and she is also connected with AAMT. Do they support this, and if so, what is their advice I wonder to the MT?
Perhaps that is one question for their website (I do not subscribe to their mag or credentials...)
Thanks, for the input!
Thanks, that worked for me! nm
