It has nothing to do with having a spine as you refer to it..

In Reply to: True, but that doesn't mean we have to embrace it by working for these companies! - I think we need to (sm)
As long as the place I work helps me pay my bills, raise my children, and treats me fairly, it doesn't matter to me. You are never going to get the entire transcription community to do that. If we were all alike and had the same opinion life would be very dull and we would all be like drones. If you CHOOSE not to work for companies that outsource, that is fine with me, as that is YOUR CHOICE. However, I am happy where I am and it gives me what I need in life. I hope that you can be a bigger person and respect other peoples choices in life. They need not all be like yours.

c-spine or C-spine?

from the spine......................NM

It is disks in the spine now
I transcribed for a spinal surgeon who said that the Academy of Orthopaedics has decided that spinal discs should officially be spelt "disks." Apparently they want to make everything consistent. So that is how I spell it unless a doc tells me to spell it othe old way. Which I do although technically it is incorrect.
how do you get an inguinal hernia in your spine?
Does your dad have a spine? He can't spare a hour in the car to take you
I would ask him personally (bypass stepmommy)....and if you really want to see him, then take taxi from the station to their house. Don't let her control when you see your family.
it's definitely cervical spine; otherwise it's fine

If the radiologists are associated with a spine clinic
diskograms, epidural steroid injections, nerve root blocks, vertebroplasties, etc.
Have you been worked up for fibro and/or is the arthritis in your spine, too? Sorry...:( nm

Back in the day, disk was for eye, disc was for spine,
now the MTSO I work wants disk for everything.
And I was told it was "disk" for eye, and "disc" for spine.

Anyone w/ experience w/ Resurgens or Pinnacle Orthopedics for spine care in the
Has anyone ever used either or know anyone who has? Would appreciate any comments. I need to see someone for my scoliosis which I know is progressing, and the pain is giving me fits right now. Thanks.
disks in C-spine, then huge metal fan fell on back of head!
That is when the real pain began. A rhizotomy is where they cut the nerve roots to relieve the pain (anterior) or muscle spasms (posterior). I just had neurectomies, and my head has been worse for the last two months. The neurosurgeon was unable to get left side because my occipital nerve was entangled in the artery, but he got the right. Now I cannot feel the right side of the back of my scalp; however, I am still having a lot of pain! So much for that.
Think you need to refer this to your QA,
they are 2 words where I work.
any neck pain? Sounds like a cervical spine problem. And med advice.. you nee an xray!
You might be old enough for degenerative changes, or disc space narrowing. What you are describing could definitely come from cervical spine nerve root compressions. Does the symptomatology change when you reposition your neck or adjust your posture? See somebody, that's kinda-sorta something you shouldn't be messing with.
What are these "loopholes" you refer to?
My DH has been in administration healthcare for over 20 years (national health care company). He says there is no "loopholes" that keep him from following the wage and hour laws, overtime is overtime, PERIOD!! Their MTs get paid overtime just like everyone else, and have no FORCED mandatory overtime.
You need to contact the wage and hour division PRONTO...something is stinky here!!!
so it's okay to refer to doctor as like a pig!!
but i suggest we might be more professional and MY post is deleted!!?? Good grief. What gives?
Yes, I agree here. You want them to refer you
You want to keep them happy within reason. I doubt it would be that much of a bother. You can write off the expense of the stickies and the travel.
The other worry I have is setting up digital for an office just because I don't want to travel and have them go with another MT because they could get cheaper rates by already being digital. You don't want that to happen.
Can you tell I'm a firm believer in tape work and loyalty?
No matter what, there are things in this profession that you do that are sort of thankless, but I think in the long run if you like the account, you're better off just cutting the stickies and attaching just a small fee each month as Patti says.
Is there a manager for QA you could refer all these
x
Here's a nice one I refer to
This one has a good collection of ops. See link below.
Here's another useful site I refer to
This one's come to my rescue quite a number of times.
http://medicaltranscriptionwordhelp.synthasite.com/
I'm sorry, but why would you refer to ?'s about ones puppy or what's for dinner
Not trying to start a flame or anything, but what's wrong with a few non-transcription questions here and there? It helps break up the monotony of the job, don't ya think?
We have a gal in our office who I refer to as the 'notetaker'. She's always got some e-mai
that lists this or that infraction. No one is immune. She just isn't happy unless everyone is unhappy and I think the complaints are really just a way to elevate her own status in her own mind.
Not everyone is like our "notetaker", but I've learned when it comes to work, do your best, meet your quotas and if you can have a little fun while doing it, then life is good. Pick your battles, don't sweat the little stuff, and you'll have a whole lot less stress to deal with.

You should refer them to the testing site.
That's what I do when someone says they *would like to work at home, like you.* I had someone tell me, quote, *You just type what the doctor says, right?* I just looked at her and said, *Yeah, you're right. I just type what the doctor says.* ARRRGGGHHHH!
I refer them to the job boards so they can see how much experience they need. sm
That is it. I don't deal with it anymore. I usually just write down the website and go take a look. You will see how much experience, etc. you need. Good luck.
I have learned from past experience.
Never hear anything again from that same person.
Refer to the Spouse Equity Act
You are entitled to coverage for 18 months...some of these responses just floor me!
You refer to ME as smug when you call sm
yourself "your fine self?" That's rich.
I'm so done with this. I'm amazed you have a job.
A lot of physicians refer to their patients
as heterosexual or having same sex partners, it is very relevant in some aspects, as in exposure to AIDS/HIV, etc.
I still refer to myself as a 'transcriber' because I hate
I don't think any of us even CARE what the real name of that buncha shysters is.
Try to refer to ref sites and books
Sites like these help.
Why not? Other MT boards refer people here all the time?
Are we supposed to just pretend other sites don't exist?
It's not a fad. You need her doc to refer you to a therapist for her. Took my teen years to get

I read the posts. Most of my references refer to

I don't have time to refer to reference the law details but (sm)
Check out:

You'd be surprised!
An employer has the right to answer questions, but a prospective employer is limited as to what they can ask. Unfortunately, not enough smaller businesses know and follow these rules, thus a terminated employee ends up being blackballed.
Without having Word open to refer to, I'll see if I can help...sm
When you click on autotext to open it, it should be where you can type in a new entry. Type in the entry you want to delete, and when it is highlighted I think an option should show to delete. I hope this is right, but like I said, I don't have Word open and I may have missed a step. Hope this gets you started in the right direction anyway.
That's what I'm thinking, too. Our agency told us to refer ALL creditors to them
and they were awesome. I'm thinking she doesn't have a good one, either. She definitely needs to call them or switch agencies, like the one you mentioned, to help her.
We don't have to SAVE lists of mistakes to refer back to. They are readily available at any given
Believe it or not, that's the kind of stuff we see all day long on a daily basis. Your resentment for QA is shining through. Perhaps you recognize some of these errors....
Template lines usually refer to pretyped canned reports
These would include such templates like epidural steroid injections and such where you are just typing in patient demographics and the date of procedure, cataract surgeries, or whatever canned dictation the physicians have come up with so they can cut costs and not dictate. Make sure you are not always having to revise the templates constantly at no cost; otherwise, that is a good price.
Definitely one of the other board's people who refer to those on this board as "holy rollers,&
Now go ahead and post your reply - I know you're dyin' to!
LOL
Maybe try to find a good web site to refer to! Good luck NM
