I think your QA is wrong on this one. 'Patency of the shotty veins' sounds like 'shotty veins' are a specific branch of vein, whereas 'shotty' is actually describing the veins, which have nodules on them resembling shot (i.e., birdshot, shotgun pellets, etc. Kind of like BB's.) So put a comma between 'patent' & 'shotty', as both describe the veins.

patent shotty veins vs patency of the shotty veins
They are nit-picking us to death here at work. Granted the dynamics of the job is changing, but the line count we are supposed to attain does not allow for that. They cannot have both a high line count and looking EVERYTHING up on the electronic chart to double check for accuracy.
My question now is....the doctor always says "patent shotty veins". Now with their QA they are telling me it is "patency of the shotty veins". Now I do not feel comfortable changing stuff around. Which is right?
I agree withj LowlyMT: patent, shotty veins.........
from One Look dictionary:
'patent' as adjective: clearly apparent or obvious to the mind or senses.
I would put a comma too:
patent, shotty veins.
This means that the veins are clearly visible (patent) and shotty (having small nodules), like shotty lymphnodes.'
patent used as an adverb to shotty, this would then be...
patently shotty veins, without a comma.
Has anyone had the spider veins sm
fixed on their legs? Wondering which is better - laser or injections? These are not varicose.
Hemorrhoids and spider veins, too!
LOL
shotty
actually there is a word such as shoddy fever in the stedman's book and some drs will tell you to spell it that way even though you know that is not the way to spell it. we just can't win.
LOL, you mean the post about the *shotty* transcripts! LOL!

Shotty if you are referring to lymphadenopathy. sm
If it was about a shoddy place of business, or the like, then that would be correct. But shotty lymphadenopathy is a very common term, and the poster is correct.
How dumb! Everybody knows it is shotty, not shoddy.
Can't believe they'd have that wrong on a test. That's a newbie mistake.
ACTUALLY....yes both are in books but shotty is the term used when
referring to lymph nodes. It means that they are small, hard, and round. The term came from the comparison between the nodes and BB's, as in little lead thingies shot out of a BB gun.
Shoddy means poorly made. Like if you bought a chair and sat on it and it broke the first day. Shoddy.
Okay then........
When the shotty or shoddy question was asked
were they asking about describing lymph nodes or were they trying to use a description that would apply to shoddy. As in "poorly made". Sometimes they want to know if you know the difference, but not necessarily the medical term...if that makes any sense.
The correct word is shotty - like buckshot - not shoddy.

I can type with wine, can't type with coffee, though...too jittery.

That is, type the code above before and after what you want bolded in the text-to-type box. nm

For me it isn't an account type but a dictator type ...
and that would be oriental. An oriental dictator (hahaha, that kind of sounds funny...hahaha) is the most challenging for me.
No, you don't type directly into ES. You type in Word -
or whatever their platform is, just like you did with your tapes.
Then you do your line count in Word or the platform.
You should type them. I usually type them in parentheses following the diagnosis.

remind me, type what they say, type what they say, type....
"He indicated that at the beginning of the year he complained of health problems recently but has gotten better." C'mon doc, which one is it?????
Shorthand users: Is there a way to type a word, use a slash and then type another word..sm
immediately following the slash and have it expand. For example if I needed to transcribe mass/sebaceous cyst, is there a way to use my expanded sebaceous cyst without having to back space after I type the slash mark? TIA
Right above where you type (SM)
There is a "T" with a colored block. You can highlight the text you want to color, click on that block, and then click on the color you want to make it. :)
I hope your kitty will be around for more years to come. I know 19 is very old for a kitty. :( It's hard to think about losing one of our "babies."
Take care,

TV on while you type?
Do you keep the television on while you type? I think I would get alot more done if I would stop watching TV and stop surfing the web!
If you don't know what type you have,
you probably don't have an FTP server. You would have to know that to set it up and configure it.
FTP stands for file transfer protocol, which just means that it's a way to upload and download files from a server using the Internet. If you'd like free FTP software for a potential job, you can download CoreFTP for free from Download.com at the following link.

how would you type this?
How would you type "section 8 housing"? Would it be Section 8 housing, Section -8 housing, Section-8 Housing or Section 8 Housing?
TIA
Tabatha in Charleston, SC
you type what?
Ummmmmmm, okay! LOL!
you never type don't or can't but only do not and cannot etc...lol
If all you have to do is type....
and they do all the rest (if you are subcontracting through a service), after the 25% take, they are paying you 9.75 cents per line and that is better than most national companies. Plus, hopefully, you do not have to learn 100 or more dictators! If this is the case, go for it!
USA TYPE
Does anyone have any info on USA TYPE? Thanks
USA TYPE
Has anyone heard back from USA type after they have tested for them? thanks

usa type
How long after you took the test were you called?

that's interesting . . . sheri told me herself last January that she was selling her medtrans business and wouldn't be hiring any more. . . . .

Type what they say
I was taught to fix them a little bit if needed. Of course, I work in a teaching hospital and you can do that. With the foreign docs, they don't make any sense sometimes and get words wrong. We can fix them, but if they are hard dictators, we just type what they say and let them worry about it. I have been thanked for doing this for 19 years.
Is it Type 2 or Type II?
I have been typing Type 2 because I thought it changed but just got corrected.
Type 2
It's Type 2. At www.diabetes.com and www.diabetes-facts.com they both have it as Type 2. Even if you search for Type II and logon to their site they have it as Type 2. The main thing is how your MT company or physician prefers you to type it.
Type 2
AAMT (2nd edition) shows type 2 diabetes mellitus

i got a call thurs from ann at all type in response to my resume, called her back 3X and she's never called me back. not impressed.
My dog is in my lap as I type this
Was thinking of getting a second dog so he would have someone to play with but after reading your post, that may not be the case! Don't you love it when then sleep? Yup, a tired doggy is a happy doggy.
Why do they always type like

Good luck to you!
Just type what they say.

ok...here it is, i will type it as
i do it myself so i dont miss a step (it's early for me - PST!!)
Click START. click ALL PROGRAMS. Find the program you want a shortcut to be on your desktop. If that program has an arrow pointing to the right, it means it will open up with more choices. Move your cursor on top of the program you want...not the manual or uninstall but the actual program. RIGHT CLICK on that program and you will see a menu. Click on CREATE A SHORTCUT. It will create one in the menu you have open with a (....2) after it. Click-and-drag that shortcut, the name with the 2 after it, to your desktop.
Do this for every program that you want an icon on your desk.
Those icons will have the number 2 after it and if you dont like that, right click on the icon and click rename and you can take that out. When the name of the program is lit up in blue, hit END on your computer keyboard and that will take you to the end of the name, then backspace until you erase the 2. Or you can rename the whole icon if you want...when it lights up in blue just start typing the name you want to rename it to.
that's it the way i understand it!!
How are you able to type in it?
I have tried both of these suggestions, which work just in creating the letterhead, but I am unable to type into it. Can anyone help me past this point?
Thank you again!

I am wondering if there are any transcriptionists on here who currently work for All Type located in New Jersey? I was offered employment by them upon successfully completing their on line test, sent in all required paperwork to them, had an on-line/telephone training course for the platform, email sent to me that I will be working with so and so this evening, have not heard from so and so, and nothing is happening as far as me actually getting going to work for them----all this very time consuming for me on top of it all. Any input would be appreciated. 
All Type
Would like to hear from anyone who has worked for or is still currently working for All Type, Inc. located in New Jersey. All pros and cons of working for this company are welcomed. 
that would be had ME type in..... nm

May not want to type that!
This is a good example of what I am trying to say....In the search box I put "People's Support Transcription". When I got to my options, I saw a response from this web site; about the second one down. Did you know that our posts are not exclusive to MT Stars? They go out for the WORLD to see!!
Only 1 job. Type about 135 wpm and
