It is drug-eluting, so there QA!!!
Yes, drug-eluting...
The company I work for gives daily info e-mails and actually got one on this a few months ago - is common to transcribe eluding or alluding if you haven't heard it before. 
Eluting, but it is not hyphenated. nm

As they say on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", drug-eluting............FINAL ANSWER!!!

You are wrong. It drug-eluting stent.

Cypher drug-eluting stent

Drug-eluting stents. Link inside. sm.
It is hyphenated. Check out Boston Scientific's site at the link below for some of their products. One is as follows: TAXUS® Express²™ paclitaxel-eluting coronary stent system.
look up each definition..and it is drug-eluting stent. with hyphen.

I work for the person. I know. Very excellent person, personally and business-sense.
It is an INSULT to have QA hovering over seasoned MTs who know what they are doing. She trusts her MTs and again if there are questions there is one person, a trainer, who can answer them via phone, e-mail or instant message or you can send the whole report to them if you choose.
Point was is the person willing to make up for the slack of the person who types 1 job when there is
if that is all they WANT to type. Is the person who wants to be a supervisor willing to make up for those people?
You have crap supervisors, editors and mts in the business like you have good ones. Sadly, the really good ones of all of them are few and far between.
That is incorrect... no PTO for SE
...opportunity for PTO for part-time employees and increased PTO of up to 18 days per year for full time employees...
I'm sorry, KJ, but that's incorrect. SM
Stedman's medical dictionary defines fluctuance as: A wavelike motion felt on palpating a cavity with nonrigid walls, especially one containing fluid. Synonym is fluctuation.
"Flocculence" is not even listed.
I suggest checking out Dorland's online medical dictionary or onelook.com for research in the future.
That's incorrect. sm
According to the IRS definition, they can't dictate any part of your schedule, except for the deadline by which you must return the work. When you do it is strictly up to you. Some companies do ask the IC about how many hours per day they'll work or even the time of day they normally like to work. That's so they can find another IC who likes to work the opposite schedule. However, they can't require you to work at that time.
incorrect, but
Keep in mind -- with TATs getting shorter, a 'work when you want' schedule is getting less realistic for meeing some client needs. Plus, when working in some platforms - especially for hospitals - it is often limited as to how many licenses you can get -- so perhaps they can only have 4 or 5 people in at one time. Scheduling for them might be necessary to keep the workflow going and guarantee the volume of work everbody wants. If you agree and commit to a schedule, I'm sure they expect you to stick pretty closely to that so they know what is going on from day to day.

She can be eligible if she is not working full-time, is looking for full-time and reports her earnings. She might only be making $100 per week if it is a small office and her benefits are $400 per week and she can earn up to 50% before they take anything away from her benefits. You can work part-time and still collect your unemployment. You just have to be available and looking for full-time employment.
Unfortunately, you are incorrect.
I have seen MTs who do not know appropriate medical terminology after 20 years of being in this business. Obviously, they should have received some type of correction along the way but either they didn't or they failed/refused to accept a change.
As for the OP stating she has 16 years experience -- still does not change my opinion.
It is a POSSIBILITY that she is not as good as she thinks she is.
I have heard time and time again the story of how many years experience an MT has only to turn around and flat out fail the simplest of dictation tests, even written tests where they can use references. When I show them their errors they are shocked because they had always done it that way.
It is a possibility.
BTW, I see QA personnel daily who can do no better, either.
That is incorrect.........sm
The other post is right. No one doing your taxes should even ask that question as long as they know you are an IC and paying everything yourself. The hours you work have absolutely nothing to do with it. IC means you pay all your taxes, your company pays nothing for you. As long as this is the case, the IRS could care less. They just want to know they are getting their money. And yes, you can count your home office deductions as long as the office is used only for your work and not leisure time or anyone else's work area.
Never. This is incorrect.
I did QA for a number of years, and if I had seen "labwork" or "bloodwork" in a report they would have been marked as errors. These are neither proper English words nor even "usage" medical jargon.
I don't know where you got your figures, but you are incorrect.
Self Employment tax is only about 15.3%, which is only a small percentage more than you'd pay with employee status. FICA and Medicare are already taken into that figure. As a self-employed person, you get to deduct a bunch of stuff, too, so your taxable income isn't as high as it would be if you were an employee. Nobody earning $1,000 is taxed at 40%. You have to earn more than $278,450 as a single person to be in the higher federal tax bracket of 39.6%. I've been self-employed for over 8 years now. I've never paid anywhere near 40% in taxes.
BTW, I have a minor in accounting with many years of bookkeeping and tax preparation experience. If you still don't believe me, check out the Small Business section at the IRS.GOV website. There is a ton of accurate information there.

Actually, you're incorrect. sm
Take a look at any newspaper. You'll see positions for SECRETARIES requiring bachelor degrees. Countless jobs consider a 4-year degree a basic requirement for being considered. A bachelor degree shows the ability to follow through, if anything. No, it's not 100% assurance of a great job, but it does open up doors that will absolutely be closed to you otherwise. And statistics consistently show that people with a bachelor degree tend to make quite a bit more than those without. You can't argue successfully when there's concrete evidence to prove otherwise.
No, actually, you're incorrect.
With my experience and with no college degree, I could get a job as a legal secretary anywhere in the United States, and in many of these places, I'd actually earn more money than an associate attorney in the firm. Have done it several times before changing fields.
That old saying, "Jack of all trades, master of none" keeps popping in my head.
and you are incorrect - all condo and....sm
ALL condo associations and homeowners associations have rules and regulations that ALL must follow and if you cannot or do not want to follow them - you cannot live there. It's that simple. Many of the rules and regulations are also benefitting the owners, like keeping riff-raff out. *lol*

I, myself, hate the incorrect use of *myself*
I wholeheartedly agree! My accounts do say I can correct *obvious* grammatical mistakes, so I REFUSE to type the word *myself* when used incorrectly; I consistently edit to *me* where indicated.
When exactly did the word *me* become so unimportant? It's news to me, or, as the some of our dictators might say, "It's news to myself." LOL.
Similarly, there's the age-old misuse of the pronoun *I* as the object of a preposition, when the correct pronoun would again be *me.* Some people will do anything to avoid the little ol' word *me.*
I guess you're right--*me* just sounds too ordinary. Maybe we should change that old saying to *Fool myself once, shame on you; fool myself twice, shame on myself.* I wonder if anyone would think THAT sounds sophisticated.
incorrect! it's on the diagonal...
That is incorrect. There is no money sm
in being a doctor anymore. The days of the doctor who had a mansion on the hill in town are gone. The money is gone, replaced by the headaches caused by the insurance companies who are directing care in this country, the administrators of giant healthcare systems trying to run facilities instead of medical staff and every year the insurance companies pay less and less on a visit, procedure or test.
Looks like it has been correct, it was incorrect.

i forgot, they also learn how to use incorrect
verbiage and dictate in a whisper, in a crowded room with the television blaring in the background and they learn how to dictate without having to hold the microphone - they learn to lay it down and dictate so that the dictation also has all the background noise for the Transcriptionist to get share with them.

You are incorrect. Read more carefully..
All grads are offered the classes free. You can get a discount on the book if you are a grad as well.
Susan also authors the following info about this on the forums:
When you graduate, M-Tec offers a FREE study group for the RMT exam. We also have discounts on books/materials (study guides) that you can get here as well. I would not recommend taking the exam until you graduate, but I have seen a few who said they did and were successful.
Really....it is free for grads! I'm not arguing; I just don't want anyone to be misled.
Nope, my husband is not incorrect....sm
After 30 years on the job, my husband should know what he's talking about. In my original post, I said:
"If the equipment in the box is not fiberoptic compatible or old technology, you can't get DSL in the area served by that box. Once enough people ask for DSL so that it is "cost effective" in that area, you get new equipment installed and that area gets DSL."
Analog phone lines DO NOT support DSL, which stands for Digital Subscriber Line. So, I should have also stated that the phone lines have to be fiberoptic, then the box updated and then enough subscribers.
Out the highway we used to live on, fiberoptic cable was laid back in 2003. In 2005, they finally got around the changing the 1st box outside of town and the 3rd box, allowing the people who have phone service originating from that box to receive DSL, which lets me know there were enough people in those areas that requested DSL for it to be "cost-effective."
I have a friend that lives in the zone controlled by box #2 on that road and she has been requesting it since the fiberoptic line was laid down and STILL can't get it because there aren't enough people asking for it.
Also, the fiberoptic line can handle a LOT of traffic compared to the original analog lines, and that is why you can have a DSL connection and talk on the phone at the same time. With analog lines, which only support dial-up and ISDN in the first place, you cannot, even with a filter.
I didn't come on here to start an argument or even a debate over whether my husband learned anything in 30 years, I just wanted to parlay some information to those who are getting incorrect information when they are being told they have to be within 3 miles of the central office or 5 miles, etc.
I always correct them. Guess I'm too a@al to put in the incorrect word. nm

Regarding changing incorrect patient name to correct name
When I change the pt's name on the DEMO page (AFTER I have already gone onto the typing page), when I do CTRL J inside the document to change to the correct patient name, it will change the patient name on the DEMO Page, but not change the patient name on the document screen that I am typing on. The only way I know to fix this problem is to exit ExText and go back in. Help, please, anyone.

How do I change incorrect spelling in Word?
I accidentally spelled a medication wrong and added it to the dictionary. How do I go about changing this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
When you have a QA person that is picky and another QA person that is very lenient where does that
leave the MTs because some are getting a lenient reviewer and others are getting one that picks at everything. How do you reconcile that issue with the difference in QA mentality. Some people make out well and the other people could be just as good but dont. I wonder about that.

Actually, you are incorrect. People post their feelings on this site
to having to register and give their personal information, IP address, etc. Be pro-AAMT. I choose not to and that is my right. No whining, no complaining...I am just one of those American MTs who doesn't see AAMT as glorious as you do. Also an Old MT.
This is incorrect information. See the save email link.

Well, that is incorrect information. You should leave your 0 balance accounts open sm
that shows that you are responsible and not over your head in debt. When you have a credit line of 15,000 and your balance is 0, that is a great asset. I am a mortgage loan officer myself, and the mortgage brokers want to see open accounts with 0 balances. That also helps you debt to income ratio, which in turn increases your credit score!
DRUG ELUDING?DRUG ELUTING?
Okay...sock it to me..when I was even newer than I am now, I wrote "drug alluding stent." QA sent a correction saying "drug eluding stent." NOW, I see on Google, "drug eluting stent." SOoooo, which is it, or are they both correct? Thanks ahead of time.
One person's "custom" is another person's
"house arrest". I'd never go to the Middle East because of how they treat women. I don't agree with their laws or "justice" system. For example, the woman who was gang raped as punishment for the actions of her 12-year-old brother, a boy who wasn't even an adult. How's that for a "custom"? Let's not forget bride burning. Burqas.
Besides, foreigners don't follow our "customs" when they come to this country. Half of them don't even bother learning English. Instead, we're expected to pay for healthcare and foodstamps for illegals and print everything in Spanish.
I won't be oppressed or treated as a second class citizen, and I wouldn't treat others like that either. A "custom" is more like putting up a Christmas tree, not being abused based on your gender.
i'm sure it will vary from person to person.
I recently did the same thing and am loving it! The freedom from time clocks, the better company, make losing the benefits well worth it to me. You need to set up a plan to have $ set aside for taxes though. I should have done this years ago!
