I wasn't, honey. I'm not the OP. My point is she didn't include context

to tell which catheter out of 17 pages it might be, and most medical books don't cross-reference to other medical books.

You missed my point. My point wasn't perks but prestige...nm
nm
The point wasn't that it was copyrighted. The point the poster tried to make
:(
You didn't have to do that honey
Oh honey, no need to waste your time. I like being "live" on the spot with these type of issues.
Keep chatting gals, I am listening to you all.
I didn't apply, so that's a moot point. The point I was making is that
she's ranting here about something that doesn't even pertain to most of us. You can't come to a MT message board railing at MTs without getting a response. That's why it's not called MTSOstars. Also, it's unprofessional of a business owner to let her emotions overrule her common sense. As for the newbies, they'll learn. We were all newbies at one time or another. None of us was born perfect, not even the MTSO.
i didn't say i wasn't working
i just wanted to know what you might have been if you weren't a medical transcriptionist. think positive here...if you can allow yourselves to let down your guards and not be so defensive.
Didn't make me cry but wasn't a breeze.
I studied when I could. After 30 years I think you'll pass. Please let us know how you do and good luck!
What context?
Try Google and take your pick from over 2 million hits.
Medical abbreviation resource link.

what context?
Do you recall in what context the doctor used this word? I hear doctors swear at the computer when trying to look up labs and stuff. The only time I type and cuss words are when the doctor is quoting the patient like on a psych admit or something.
We've taken this all out of context ...
I emailed them and got a response.
I let this particular post influence me negatively and I apologize to the Admin.
They are not targetting specific companies. It is a new way to link popular keywords, not just company names, for easier research. The links provide access to ALL posts - positive and negative - about the companies and/or keyword subjects. They will be adding more to this list. It is just starting now.
I DO wish they had put a post or statement or banner up first stating they were making this change but it is their site and they can improve it in anyway they want...with or without informing everyone of the progress before, as, or even after it is being made.
u have read that out of context -
versus IC.....whether you have one client or 10 clients....the IRS doesn't care....been doing it this way for a decade....
My post wasn't clear so readers might have taken it out of context.
Have a nice day! 
Numbers in what context??
You don't spell out numbers (0-9) when used to delineate values, i.e., 2 sets of enzymes, 3 sutures, etc.
Spell out when used in sentence as following:
We placed 3 catheters, one in the XXX and two in the XXX; or He was the one who XXX.
Is that what you are referring to??
It depends on the context of the sentence, really. SM
It depends on whether he's saying further bleeding will affect a hysterectomy, or whether Dr. _____ will effect a hysterectomy if there is further bleeding.
It depends upon the context within the sentence. sm
A simple instance would be: The patient had clear-yellow urine. In another sentence: The patient's urine is clear yellow.
I hate no one, don't take my words out of context
I have every right to say what I like and don't like. You are taking up for her because of her posting good things for you yesterday. I responded because frankly you thought I was much younger, probably worked in this longer than you and yes, older than you. I can be anyway I darn well please about not liking to type ESLs. As far as that goes, cannot stand ebonics either. See, prissy, others are not youngsters posting here and know as much as you. I rest my case. If you love the dialect that much, I think others should move to the various countries they like.
No, as I said both times same context but qa'ed differently.
p
Got 3 from Susan Poe, same context. Please post website here
because the emails are being generated by these looney tunes from this board. If others have not seen it yet, they will.
Same context each job. "Well-healed surgical scar."
p
If they don't include spaces, don't do it.
You'll be making less money for more headache than you are now. I'd stick with what you've got and work on building your skills. Is there any way you could try both for a while to see which one you like better?
This thread does not include the other 90% of us
who struggle with bad dictators to make $300 a week.
Forgot to include this
There is nifty piece of portable equipment called the Lynx Portable Back Stretcher. It is sold by the same company that makes/sells Teeter Hang Ups (an inversion table). The Lynx is amazing. It helps to open up disk spaces.
It never hurts to include her even if she
doesn't come. It is about not having regrets. If you know that you always made an effort ...then in the end you will have peace about it.
Meant to include this one too

Subject: IT trouble
I have been having a problem with IT whereby when I enter a short such as "Fln" and then choose "Flonase", the expansion produced in the document comes out
"Flnase", although it is not misspelled in the glossary. This also happens
with phrase entries, though in neither case does it happen every time (i.e.
sometimes when I enter "Fln" and choose "Flonase", that is what is produced in
the document). Usually it seems that it loses a letter that I skip in entering
a short, as above, but an example of one that happened today a little
differently was when I entered "Aqa" and then chose "Answers questions
appropriately", the expansion produced came out "Aswers questions
appropriately", which I believe is the first time I have had it just drop the
letter and not have what I had typed as the next letter in place (i.e. would
have come out something like "Aqswers questions appropriately", since I had
actually typed the letter q).
Kristen suggested that I e-mail the custom glossary that I am currently using,
which is attached to this e-mail and titled "XXXX2", and I mentioned to her
also that I have created several glossaries for the various doctors for whom I
transcribe, and that the problem will happen when using any of them. I am
using Word 2000 and Windows XP. My telephone number is (XXX) XXX-XXXX, and I
appreciate any help you can offer.
Thank you,
Kim Xxxxxx
I would include....see inside
Specialties, Methods of receiving/returning the finished product. Think about why you are in the field, and focus on those qualities, for example, if you really take pride in your work, then say so. Think about your resume and focus on your experience. I hope this is helpful! Wish ya' luck!!! 
what does waiver include?
Just yesterday I asked at my doctor's office if when we sign the waiver giving "third parties" access to our medical records as needed to provide for our health care, would that also involve the transcription company of their choice. No one had an answer for me, as they do their notes by hand. BUT, they said they'd like to know and that that aspect of it had never occured to them. They suggested I contact their main office and inform them of the dangers of offshoring if they decide to do it. I intend to. No way I'm signing my own records over to offshore when I'm trying to hold them here in the US!!! Maybe they'd care; maybe not. But at least I will have made an effort to inform them.
Wow!! Did that include postage? nm

Does the class action include the DEP
platform? Somewhere, don't remember where now, I thought I read the class action was about the old platform MedRite and was for a certain range of years. Is there info out there that the class action pertains to DEP also?
No kidding. That would seem to include some pretty
nm
You will want to include information regarding the platform you are on, etc.
dd
It depends on what you include in that figure.
where you live, how many in your family and what you get for your money.
Rehab medicine will include PT, OT, sm
speech therapy, etc.
DocShuttle is 99, but that does not include waveplayer. sm
I just purchased DocShuttle and then had to purchase the Docshuttle waveplayer because it does not include the waveplayer, that is a separate purchase.
Yes, definitely include your templates in your counts. nm
xx
I would and I have. Include verification of the error. sm
I would suggest being very matter-of-fact about it, keep all emotion out of it, even you're really annoyed inside.
I think it should be changed to the basic 5, and include ERs (sm)
A lot of hospitals have their med rec dept MTs (or MTSO) do ERs, as well. Those reports are usually sort of a combination H&P, OP (minor procedures) and/or DS--more detailed than clinic SOAPs.
I forgot to include that in my post here.
I have already written my letter & in the beginning of it there is a brief outline & I included that & then I go on to talk about stuff in detail & I mention that in it as well. I hope you guys join me in doing this & can get some letters to me. I feel we can make a bigger impact if we all stick together & by sending a packet of a bunch of letters maybe our voices will be heard & something be done.
Tell me something honey - sm
how many times have you had to "refund" money because the post office or UPS or whatever has lost your packages????????? How many times have you been in jail in the last year?????????? I told you before, you really suck at this scamming stuff and you should really try a legitamate line of work like the rest of us!!!!!!! YOU SUCK!!!!!
Whatever you say honey,
Have you made out your christmas list yet? What do you want santa to bring you this year? Does your mommy and daddy know you're on the computer?
Honey, you probably do not even have a job!!!
 Honey, you probably don't even have a job
Honey, that ain't all that's going over there. sm

Honey, I know! I have been there twice myself..
before I found this great one! Have had my share of frogs too! There is a good one out there for you somewhere! I will keep good thoughts for you, you deserve a good man!
meant to include ebonics is used and accepted
in this town. The schools are 95% segregated in the town. Very old southern roots. They do not care for change. Teaching children to speak properly is considered taking away from their "heritage". Why we moved here? Not really sure. People are very nice though. You are in the minority if you can speak, write, or read properly. Also, it is 100 miles or so SW of Columbus, GA, 30 miles or so NE of Albany
I SO agree and some of the reasons this has happened include:
May I commend the poster for a very well-thought-out and thorough outline of the current state of affairs. You did an excellent job. Do not apologize for the length. It was necessary to be complete in your thoughts. You speak for all of the MTs in this regard.
It got me wondering about the following points:
1) Medical transcription company owners permitted the hospitals and doctors to dictate to them what they would be paid, instead of honoring the fee schedule of the MT owners and professionals. Are physicians told what they can charge per hour? No. They charge what they require. So do plumbers, housekeepers, etc. Years and years ago, the trend began where the transcription companies decided to accept what the hospitals would pay.
2) Hospitals and others have disrespected the medical transcription field. Someone allowed this to happen. Who would that be?
3) I do not see this sad state of affairs of this profession to be the fault of the working MTs at all.
4) Hospitals and clinics should be prohibited from sending work out of the country.
5) Medical transcription companies need to unite and charge an appropriate fee for their services, and likewise pass that increase on to the professional MTs performing the services.
I really think there needs to be a radical revolution of change.
What do you think?
That's not my point. My point is previous owner hired

Honey, I am NOT the one being a FOOL
You are on her ranting and raving about something you have absolutely NO control over. I am living my life with a good job and paying my bills without problems. That is not foolish, that is life.
Re-read honey
Listen up, if you read the posts from days and days and days ago, you will see I have offered my assistance or just returned a simple post to someone and THE WAR BEGINS. For example, I posted earlier about what happened to the lady that had the 3-legged dog, and if ya look really, really close, I was attacked IMMEDIATELY for asking that? Now, take the time and tell me what that is all about.
The key word honey is R-E-S-E-A-R-C-H.
Oh, yes, my honey without the beard
Glad I looked.
Honey, where do you work?
Cuz I wanna work there too! Sounds like heaven!
(Not being a smart @$$ -- I'm serious).
Good for you honey.
Honey--not as weird as you think. sm
1 or 2 tbsp pure raw honey before going to bed. It is fantastic for sleep. I haven't slept this well in years. It also does help with weight loss. Check our th Hiburnation Diet.
I tried honey at first because the theory behind sm
the Hiburnation Diet made sense to me. Although I have lost weight, and more importantly inches, the great sleep is what keeps me using it. I just take 1 or 2 tablespoons straight off the spoon and within 20 minutes I'm nodding off. My dreams are so vibrant and detailed now. I really enjoy sleeping again :)
