Improved... some

I had this done about four years ago. I actually worked for the doctor who performed my procedure. Because of my anatomy and "large" uterus, I knew that it would not totally stop my periods but it has helped me have what would be called "normal" periods, lasting 3-4 days, normal/light flow, instead of 8-10 days of heavy flow. According to my GYN it does not help as much for painful periods, helps more with just the heavy bleeding. Simple procedure for me, only had to take one Wygesic that afternoon and was back to work the next morning. I could have had a hyst, but couldn't afford the "down time". Everyone is different, so don't expect miracles. Communicate with you doctor and get answers for your particular situation, but from my experience I would recommend it. Hope this helps.

I improved on it after a while, but then stayed the same.
When I first started on VR I had a really hard time because we don't have an expander on our program. I was so accustomed to typing shortcuts that I typed them when I was editing and ended up having to edit my editing.  But I've been doing it for a few months now and got used to the program, and my line production picked up a little. I'll never be able to double or even get 60% to 70% above my usual typing rate though because I can produce a lot with typing (about 1600 lines a day). I haven't heard of anyone producing 3200 lines a day when 100% editing. It would be different if it was like QA editing and just filling in the blanks, but sometimes this takes longer to do this than it does to type it.
I think they have improved over the years though
There are many choices out there but the ones I always look for are the ones that do not get hot to the touch, have automatic shut off even if they are tipped slightly, and also if they overheat.
I like the ones with a thermostat and fan and oscillating is nice as well. They really produce a dry heat though so having a humidifier would really help you feel warmer and you would be less likely to have it set at a higher temp., thus, costing you less if it doesn't run as much I feel.
Focus has definitely improved
since Nuance bought them out. I don't work there anymore but I had a pleasant experience and made money while looking for a place that offered benefits regardless of line count (they found me, actually). If they aren't your first choice, apply with them as well as any other company you can find. Good luck :o).
Has the job outlook improved any?
Hey, all. I have been out of touch for a few months, getting some personal stuff out of the way, and have not been keeping up with the job market. Now that I am ready to start looking again, I was curious about how the conditions are right now. I was just wondering if it had improved any since, say January? Is the economy starting to come back as it pertains to MT'ing?
Thanks in advance.

My line count improved on DQS. sm
I wonder if they are complaining about their having to select the proper account now instead of slamming in phonetic spelling, MR#, and going with that.
I like DQS's ability to give me all the parameters I need for proper selection of the proper account when the report uploads to the client. I wished I had it now because the company I work for sends out so many e-mails about improper account selections (one patient can have several active accounts because of several visits), but the program we have now does not give enough search parameters to distinguish the proper account.
The real issue may be that the transcriptionists are not use to their reports directly uploading to the client's electronic medical record.
My husband has talked to them, it has improved some but they still do it....so it stays as it is - n

I find that exercise has greatly improved the quality of my sleep
I used to need 10-11 hours of sleep to feel rested, but since I started exercising (40 minutes a day on an elliptical machine), I feel completely refreshed with 8 hours.
I resisted it initially. Much to my surpise, line count has improved. Lots of backspacing being do

Wait until you've been there six months and if you've improved
quality and quantity, I'd say go ahead and ask. Otherwise I'd say annually... good luck
