one of the doctors used to come into our office (typing pool) and tell us stories from the ER. He then explained what these guys (the majority of hamster/gerbil stories were from guys) would do to these poor little creatures. Gives me the creepy crawlies to think of what people do.

Yeah, I was taught the same thing in typing
some 30 years ago, but since my employer prefers it that way, then I will do it; after all, they pay me to do the job the way they want it. It doesn't mean I have to agree that it is correct, but that's just the way it is. 
My middle schooler is being taught the changes in typing class.

I was taught two spaces in high school typing class
places want only one space. BOS (pg 66, 2nd Ed) says either/or but be consistent, and that it is usually is set by company/client, but I've definitely noticed that most MTSOs want only one space and that's how I always do it now.

take the test soon.
I wish someone had taught me..
To this day, I still feel uncomfortable and unsure about what to do. If only someone had taught me when I was young! Your boys are very blessed to have a thoughtful parent like you.
I was taught to use two
and it is hard to change now. Most of my accounts use two, but I also have one account that uses ChartScript platform and I have noticed that it takes out the two and replaces it with one. And yes, I do think that over a period of time, it would make a difference in the line counts. However, that is the platform they use and I cannot change it. I get paid well anyway, so I am not complaining. Glad someone else noticed it though, I thought it was just my imagination
Some of us do, I was taught the same,
disc for back and disk for eye, however, I have to use disk for everything if I want to keep a job, among other asine rules per BOS.
yes it is accurate I also was taught sm
5 characters equal one word. Therefore, there are 13 words in a 65 character line.
Makes you wonder what they were taught in sm
high school, though I learned most of this in grammar school.
Proof as I go, was taught this way! nm

Weren't you ever taught that if you
don't have anything nice to say to someone, don't say anything at all? You must like being rude and hateful, and I don't mean just YOU personally, I mean everyone who has to criticise and be rude.
Please let me know if wrong, but I was taught to
always put in the patient's name if a dictator said to instead put the patient. Now here years later we are told by the hospital and now we are told to put in the given name if dictated. I do VR, and I read word by word by word everything on all reports. We are also held to the 98% accuracy be it VR or straight.
I was taught by my mother that
if someone gives you a gift, say thanks even if you toss it out your back door. Some do not get even a $5.00 gift card. It is inappropriate to not be thankful for what you have, get or whatever. I did not get a $5.00 card from my company so the OP got more than me. I am not offended by the lack of a gift, does not bother me at all, I did not expect anything.
my 2-yr-old taught me or made me learn...
Left click and hold it down on the task bar and drag, still holding the left button down and drag it to the bottom and drop it.
Children understand what they are taught!
Kids are capable of understanding social situations like this, even at young ages.Adults need to give them more credit. Personally, from listening to the story, sounds like lots of families I know with 5 kids or more. They can get the attitude of entitlement someone else mentioned - their parents are always getting aid from the govt, or town, or churches, and so the kids naturally adopt the attitude of the parents - that they are entitled to everyone's stuff just because...I always go over the normal "rules" with my kids before they go over someone's house - say thank you to the mom, don't ask for anything to eat, be polite, etc. If they are going over and it includes eating, like invited for lunch, I give them the look before they leave and make them promise to at least attempt to eat something even if they don't like it, and to NEVER say they didn't like anything! Guess I'm teaching them to be wimps, huh?!
I've been MT for 17 years and was taught (sm)
that from the beginning. "Patient sent to Radiology" is "The patient was sent to Radiology." I remember covering it at AAMT meetings and training interns from the local college who were taught that also.
Typing. This is NOT typing, it is transcribing. There is a BIG difference. sm
Transcription includes typing, but so much more.
Here's my theory. We were taught to place nice.
Even if you hated the person and hated their ideas we were taught we needed to share and play nice. Well here on boards and in chat rooms, you don't have to play nice and we can vent and rant and not have to suck it in.
I believe it is healthier here on these boards than in real life where you need to smile in people's faces in the workplace, in the neighborhood or even in the family when you would rather tell them what you think at best and at the very worse give them a good old fashion A$$ kick and tell them to get out of your face with their BS..     
Here you don't need to be phoney baloney and you can tell people exactly how you feel w/o repercussions. And that's a good thing.
Ditto, ETMT. I was being taught plateform and
specifics of one account. Then, was hired PT (needed backup since working for nationls has some many uncertainties) so was learning that format and style preferences. Then, the national wanted to train me on a second account with a new platform. I requested not to be tained on the second account - I was overwhelmed with the two new accounts I was already being trained on and, call me stupid, but I can only absorb so much new information at a time. I saw it as a breeding ground for an error and well, we know what an error can do to our reputations. I just needed some time.
In your dreams. They are not taught how to dictate, nor do they care. sm
They, the doctors, barely get a 1 day course in prescribing medications, let alone dictating. That is why we are medical transcriptionists. If you thought it would be like it was on the SUM tapes, you are wrong. This is the real world of doctors dictating. For the one who laughed at the big bucks, well maybe you don't make them, and maybe this is why. If you can only do easy, clinic work, then you will never make it in this business. That is the work that is easily done off-shore and by VR.
Was taught in my program that all those eye words begin with
s
My parents taught me that 2 wrongs do not make a right.....
I guess you didn't learn that, or worse you think that *makes* it all right. And people wonder what is wrong with the world these days? Your message pretty clearly outlines it, in my opinion. Working under another Social Security number, no matter WHO does it is wrong, wrong, and, oh yes, ILLEGAL!
We were taught Disc - eyes, Disk - back

Maybe psych is just not her cup of tea! Maybe she should
try another speciality. I think everyone has potential somewhere, somehow. She just needs to find her "speciality" if you will.
Unless, she has been on other specialities and her QA score is still that low, then maybe she needs to find another career!
You have a tough job having to QA that - bless you!
Psych MT's
Are any of you Psychiatry only MTs - if so, who do you work for-are they hiring?
Help please with psych (sm)
Switching from WP to "Word," need quick answer on how to avoid automatic numbering as will be using Psych Dx with Axis I, Axis II, etc., how do I do this without numbers "popping up" all over the place? Also, is there a word list or med list for psychiatric only? I am testing for a new acct. in the morning and petrified. I am experienced in the field but don't want to appear like a dunce on my testing due to lack of knowledge of "Word". Don't know which version they are using either. Please answer on board or by e-mail and I shall be forever greatful. Praying.

psych 101
I've never met my dad, so I do not have a true model for measuring men against. They totally confuse me. I'm very independent and plan on pursuing my own goals. I think coming across a great man would just be a bonus and not a necessity. My most prominent relationship lasted almost a decade, and I remember him being really kind of cold and absent, and I was constantly vying for his attention. If I come across a truly loving nurturing guy, it scares me and I push away alot. I guess having a dad would have made me different, but I am what I am so its all I know.
Psych
We have not yet gotten to Psych reports in school. I am excited to though. I think I would be very interested in them. I take it they are not the money makers?
Psych
Imagine this, typing psych report and patient asked the difference between a cat and a dog? Answer: I don't know I have scr---ed them both. I just about died.

I worked on a psych account too and though we're not hiring anyone right now, I'm love to find another company to work for but keep doing psych work. So far, no luck.
psych job
There was one posted on mtjobs.com not too long ago. I did a sample report for them but it was a little more time consuming than I was able to take on. I honestly can't remember who it was but go back on that site and look back about two weeks.

Anyone do Psych?
Do you have any websites you recommend specific to psych meds, term, etc?
psych
DSM III or DSM IV has all the diagnoses and criteria.
Who has Psych transcription available
I'm seeking psych transcription. If anybody knows of any company who's looking for someone, please advise.
ER psych meds
standard formula given in emergency: Haldol 5 mg, Ativan 2 mg, Benadryl 50 mg
Psych testing (sm)
This is why I like this board. This nice person did answer my question about numbering. This never came up but I found it very helpful and it made me less nervous. BTW, the test was mostly English words and I felt it was a waste of time and did not test my skills as a MLS at all, but that's the way it goes, I guess. Looking for something more challenging.

Psych transcription?
I know that Rodeer used to do a lot of psych transcription back in the day but now they are nonexistent. Does anyone know where and who gets the majority of the country's psych transcription? I know there has to be a ton of it...lol
Psych transcription
I don't know who gets most of the psych transcription in this country, but I do psych transcription for a local clinic that is a mental health facility. I used to work there full-time (in their insurance/business office) plus did their transcription (which meant I was working about 60 hours a week doing full-time in the business office and part-time transcription at home at night). When I left there full-time for another job, they contacted me and asked me to keep doing transcription for them. Well, it is 10 years later and they have also had additional transcriptionists and as of the first of this year, they got rid of everyone else and now I am doing ALL of their transcription (from home!!) and love it!! I know this is a job that I basically fell into, but there have to be some other jobs like this out there. I have also learned a lot doing psych transcription and it is pretty interesting. Hope you find something that meets your needs soon.
I love psych...
I have a few psych accounts, and I love it. I don't get bored at all. The only thing with psych is that at times it can be extremely depressing, and many times I have found myself in tears and in prayer for patients long after I have finished their reports. I also do other specialties, but psych is the only one I don't get bored with. Good luck! I think you'll enjoy psych.
Psych can be tough.
Would they give you a training period in psych, a few months at least? Psych is no breeze, you would definitely need references, and some internet sites. It will take some getting used to. But it can be fun!
Psych type
At the medical center I used to work for, they hired behavioral health clinic transcriptionists with no training or experience because it was pretty much "normal every day words". For psychiatry if they were inpatient at the time, we just typed them along with our other hospital dictations. I found that almost all of the crazy tests or things that were not normal jumbo I found easily on Google. Good luck to you, it is definately an interesting line of work. :)
psych book
When I did psych work, I just bought a good psych word book and that helped me TONS, as there are a lot of test names that you will be exposed to. Internet would probably work okay, too, but me, I like books! :)
Good luck!
