Oh so you are another offshore supporter?
Sounds like YOU may be the creep.
No, and I'm am more of an AHDI/BOS-2 supporter.
There are few changes in it and the ones that are there are ridiculous, in my opinion. Makes us (as MTs) look like idiots for following:

No more periods after abbreviated personal and courtesy titles! WHAT? So, now you should write Mr and Mrs Happy (not Mr. and Mrs. Happy).

No more commas to separate names from titles with roman numerals! WHAT? So, now you write Harry Happy II (not Harry Happy, II).

No more hyphens between numbers and their units, even if it is a compouned modifier! WHAT? So, that means you would write ... close the 2 cm incision (not .... closed the 2-cm incision).

Just nitpicking crap to make us look bad and make them more money.

Use the BOS-2, it's much smarter. Use the AHDI for its good stuff and leave the bad stuff alone (i.e., if it benefits you, use it...and BTW, you would just periods with that latin abbreviation any longer, lol).

BTW, the BOS-3 won't be available electronically. Have to buy a book or pay a monthly fee to have web access.

Better stop my rant now. LOL
I'm no PETA supporter. Still know cruelty when I see it, though.

You are so right. Maybe we should all invest in our own....sm
SR program. I think the focus is wrongly placed on the doctor's end. We should listen and dictate to our SR program, editing along the way as usual, thereby producing a better more accurate document with less physical stress. Us old guys with all the experience are starting to get arthritis and it would be nice to figure out a way to make VR work for us instead of against us.
Go ahead and invest......SM please
Go ahead and pay for a decent program so you'll be set up. In all honesty (my opinion) you do not get the same kind of quality sound with these freebies as you do with the others. If you intend to do this job, at least get proper equipment.

IMHO
If they want to invest a lot of their own money,
and absolutely LIVE the program 24/7 then they could try, but chances are they won't be happy and they'll be out any money they invest.
gee, I don't know, if you aren't willing to invest in
what makes you think you would have the business savvy to do something like this?
Invest in some wrists splints soon. ;) nm

Invest in Instant Text!
This has increased my line count ~30%. No need to remember all those little shortcuts and can have duplicates. Example:

The patient states she has
The patient states she had
The patient stated she has . . .

All have shortcut of tpssh--and it's right before your eyes to choose which one.
Need to invest in a new drug reference
Hey there, I have the Saunders Pharmaceutical Word Book and CD-ROM, I love it...You can look up medications on the CD-ROM by using the *if you can here the first part of a medication or the ending of a medication...you just put in the * at the beginning or end and just 3 letters and it will bring up every medication close to that...it is great!!!!!
Yes, invest in a better expander. It will be worth it.

Invest in a dictionary - "alot" is not one word

I also like to use online references, which by the way I invest in by paying my monthly fee
for high-speed internet service. Why knock someone's way of doing something just because it isn't your way? I personally find it much quicker to find something online than to finger through a bunch of books, which by the way are outdated quicker than you can get them delivered.
I need something on a trial basis for now...if it works out, I will invest later...Can't afford..

to invest in software unless it is a sure thing.  Thanks


Needing to invest in a new Drug reference... what do you recommend? THANKS! nm
