KCl is the generic, Kay Ciel name brand

In Reply to: Maybe newer MTs know something I don't - probably so...
Offsite MTs have no way of knowing if physcian is using name brand or not unless he specifies. In most cases a service will defer to the generic to be as accurate as possible.

Generic vs Brand drugs
I have these in my Shorthand program and they are typed correctly - upper or lower case. No matter how I type them they wind up correct. If the word is at the beginning of a sentence, Shorthand capitalizes it there, which would be correct.
I bought mine at Staples, generic brand for 9.99.

RXList. I guess buying a drug book every other year wouldn't be a bad idea. When I was a newbie, I used to think I had to buy a new drug book every year until I discovered the wealth of info on the internet and I just write new terms in my books. I know some people like to keep their books pristine, but I make notes in mine all of the time.
It's mg/dl. As for Kay Ciel vs. KCl, that one always stumped me
due to conflicting QA. One QA told me KCl, so I'd type it that way, then another QA told me Kay Ciel. They're both pronounced the same and they mean the same thing, right? So what's the difference? Whoever named those drugs is an idiot.
Kay Ciel is IV; KCL is oral.
a
Kay Ciel is also oral, not just IV -
maybe it's just a wee bit of a way to pad the lines.
The way I learned it is KCl is used for the outpatient dosage while Kay Ciel is used for inpatient s

generic also --sm
The only thing this one particular person who keeps jumping on people the minute they post anything at all seems to understand is that she has been in this business for *all of her adult life*, which she seems to feel gives her the right and necessity to berate others for anything she feels she wants to. It is a through and through superiority complex and I guess it makes her feel good to put other people down simply for asking a question. Once she attacks someone with her spiteful comments, suddenly all her little cronie followers think that gives them the right to berate and belittle someone too. What she does not understand is that seniority does not mean superiority and as far as I am concerned, 30+ years or not, she has an awful lot to learn about how to treat others. and she probably is not that good a Transcriptionist either because she is always on this board looking to start a fight or to make someone else feel bad. I know it is hard, but try to ignore her posts. it is her problem, not yours.
New generic drugs.
New generic name for viagra......................micoxafloppin. Next.. please add.
generic drugs
I type drugs that are capped or have capital letters anywhere in them into autocorrect. Then I just type the drug just like it is generic, then autocorrect "corrects" it.
It's not in order of just generic???
The drug information is under the generic of the medication. It's in order of brand as well but under brand it says see (generic name) on page --- for the information on it. I love this book and use it constantly.
I seriously doubt the generic
be any sort of proficient with transcription. Heck, the medical VR programs can't even get it right and they are SUPPOSED to bed trained to the dictators voice. Good luck if you're looking for a quick way - I don't think you've found it with Word speech recognition.
i buy almost all generic, make a list when i
go shopping and don't buy things that aren't on it (unless it's a necessity like t.p. or toothpaste.) plan ahead on meals and buy in bulk and freeze. it's just me and my 3 yo so we can get 2 almost 3 meals from one, that is if you can handle that much left overs. keep curtains closed in the rooms that get direct sun to keep them cooler-opposite in the winter. i don't buy extra 'goodies' like candy/chips/snacks. i'm really regretting that one today-i need a chocolat fix right now :)
only buy things on sale, if you must buy 'new' clothes wait until the end of the season and by then it's usually 60-70% off. buy gifts all year round when things go on sale, the person you're getting it for will never know plus if something comes up and you need something last minute, you've got it! the other things that i would consider a luxury i wait and use them as gift ideas for my family to get for myself and my son.
Need suggestions, generic vs proprietary drugs
It seems there are so many anymore that i have trouble remembering not to capitalize -- how do the rest of you remember?
I am using docuscribe and the quick correct feature does not seem to work for converting back to lower case. Any suggestions?
Is there any easy way to remember which drugs are generic and do not get capitalized. We get that
deducted in our monthly randoms from Amherst if we forget a capital letter.
"wav" pedal is a generic term. Some software is
proprietary and requires a specific "wav" pedal. Download ExpressScribe for free (google for URL). You can open one of your completed files using ExpressScribe and if it plays okay then your pedal will work, unless of course you get a job that may use a proprietary software and then it may or may not work.
generic reply--guess I struck some nerves
I don't know how long you MTs have been in the business who have replied negatively to my posts, but I started at a hospital for an hourly wage, which seems to have fallen by the wayside. At any rate, did they switch me out to different hospitals while I was workking there? NO, they did not. And, if they had, it wouldn't have mattered because I was paid hourly and it DIDN'T COST ME MONEY to do so.
We are paid BY PRODUCTION, and anything they do that affects MY PRODUCTION affects MY INCOME. Don't you get that? It doesn't hurt them to do this, it affects OUR paychecks.
I'm beginning to understand that it is possibly some of your attitudes--and probably lack of other choices, I know--that has caused this downfall in the MT field.
why let him call you lazy more than once? also, sit him down and make him transcribe a generic note.

Is there an easy way to enter generic drugs and brands into your spellchecker ? ( a fast way)
save a generic dictation, sit the person at your desk and tell them to type what they hear

Not REALLY a brand name but please SM
This is a mouthwash specially compounded by a pharmacy - I think it originated at Duke University. I usually capitalize Magic because it's not really generic and not really a brand name. JMO
No, not a brand name.

They are brand new.

I think 100 may be a lot for brand new newbies. nm

Maybe it is just the particular model/brand
I have had I believe three Fantoms now (first one so heavy so bought second one years later, then ran over big screw and broke the bar on the bottom of the second one). I have the HEPA filters and have never had to do anything with them - not even change them as mine have a button that is suppose to pop up to tell you when it needs to be replaced. I have probably owned these over the past 10 years or more.
You are right, emptying the cannister can be a little messy - I do what you do and go outside, use a plastic grocery bag to empty it in (or better yet have husband do it) as I, too, have severe allergies.
If I had to choose though, I would still go bagless as I hated changing and buying the bags and once they got about half full you didn't get the suction like you do with an empty bag/cannister.
I am not familiar with the type you have where you have to clean the filter. Ugh.
Look below regarding the Noisebuster brand!
They may work for you too. Good luck!
My brand is SoftFlex, but if you use
a straight keyboard, there is a heated keyboard you could get. Or put a heating pad in your lap. http://www.x-tremegeek.com/templates/searchdetail.asp?productID=10313&sk=MX51419
Goldtouch is brand name. see msg.
www.goldtouch.com
I always get mine on eBay. They aren't cheap but you definitely get what you pay for and they are great, in my opinion.
What brand of LCD monitor to buy? sm
I am really troubled by eye strain ... got new computer glasses from eye doc but still not happy ... a number of people have said I should swap my CRT monitor out for a flat screen LCD. I'm game to do it, but have been reading reviews until I'm brain-dead! Thought maybe you folks here might share what brand of LCD you are using, and if you are happy with it for word processing. I hear some are better for text than others, and I don't want to shell out the bucks without looking into it. TIA!
Brand is Saitek....
I am on my third one and I love it. Have yet to find another keyboard with a touch like this one. It is not silent - it clicks, which is what I really like about it. Nothing at all like a laptop keyboard which make my fingers dyslexic. Bought a MS keyboard, but it sits in the corner as I type much faster with my Saitek, worn off letters and all. The fact that the letter disappear is my only complaint. The light up feature is nice, but in my opinion not bright enough. Gotta say though, it is pretty cool 'cause you can change the colors to purple, red or blue.
I have one for sale still that is brand new...
I bought mine from Dictran in May but have never used it as I ended up taking another job that doesn't use this. I'm asking $85 if you are interested. You can also E-mail me.
I got a brand new computer
custom built by a small shop here in town with XP instead of Vista. Don't count out a small business being able to help you! Cheaper than a Dell, too...
HP is the LAST brand I would recommend!! sm
I have had an HP desktop, which gave me occasional problems, but nothing big. i got an HP laptop last year, and it has been one headache after another. First the wireless connection died, I have had to do a major system restore, I have had to send it in to HP for service, and it still doesn't work right. OTOH, DH bought a Gateway laptop this year that is pretty much the same as mine as far as specs, and he hasn't had a bit of trouble with his. I would recommend either a Gateway or a Toshiba.
You say you're brand new at this
Unfortunately, what you think is "the worst" may very well be the best. Well not actually the best, but probably the norm. Give it some time to adjust. Are you new in general, or just new to at-home work?
Magic mouthwash? Is that a brand name?
NM
Went there for paint. Brand new store. SM
I asked for specific color and the kid behind the counter starting mixing it. It seemed to be taking a long time, Home Depot takes second, all because he had an old fashioned paint machine where you had to manually put in the colors, not computerized like Home Depot. So why didn't I go to Home Depot? Good question.
i love clickys, where, what brand?
they are hard to find
I feed Innova too, the Evo brand
I would love to feed BARF and have tried in the past, but it confused me, read 3 books on it, but I was always afraid I wasn't using enough of the right ingredients and being a vegitarian the meat handling was a lot for me to deal with. I also subscribe to the Whole Dog Journal, great magazine. Would love to have a sheltie in the future. I have an American Eskimo right now who I love dearly and 3 cats, feed all of them Evo with fresh chicken nightly. Glad others here are aware of the terrible ingredients of commercial companion animal food. Thanks for sharing.
Love it! Did you know you can get brand new on eBay?

brand new blade every single....nm
I adore my Dyson. Will never buy another brand. sm
It runs circles around any other vacuum I've ever used (and I feel like I've tried them all).
That's it. Thanks! Not a big name brand person but I do know the Chanel name. Just
couldn't think of what the logo could be. It's CC for Coco Chanel I'm guessing? Thanks!
What brand of personal computer do U have?
I'm looking to buy a computer (non-work) and I wuz wondering what everyone else has and recommends. I'm considering a Dell...
I have Abacus SE, brand new with disk. s/m
I paid $40 for it about two months ago. It is very user friendly and prints out invoices. I'll sell it for half price plus shipping if you are interested.
Brand of computer not that important.
If you are using other than a USB connection with your foot pedal you'll probably need an adapter. You'll need an external keyboard and may need an adapter to convert it from PS/2 to USB depending on the computer and what keyboard you have. You need to have a wireless/ethernet (which is pretty standard these days). You should also have a dial-up modem just in case. You need 512 RAM and a good sound card.
I have worked on a laptop for 6 years. I also travel a lot. I've had 3 different brands and brand doesn't really matter. Being able to get an internet connection is the difficult part, although with technology advances it isn't as difficult as it used to be.
SoftFlex is my brand of glove.
Putting a heating pad on your lap is another idea, though it heats your arms before your hands. If you sit near a window, a cold draft can cross your desk and dump right onto your hands, so winterizing windows or moving your desk away can help that.
DH enjoys the fact I have cold hands. He claims that every time I touch him I say, "You're warm!" and then I hold his hand or scratch his back because he's so delightfully warm. So he benefits from my little problem. :op
brand does not matter --- look inside
Basically, speed is everything. The faster your motherboard can process any commands from the keyboard and/or any programs you are running, how fast your hard drive turns so that the information your ROM/RAM is looking for can find it, and the amount of RAM you have that is not being used could possibly make the difference between achieving your line rate comfortably and not achieving them. If you work on the internet, the speed of your internet plays a factor, but only if your computer is capable of downloading and storing at the faster speed.
I have an MT I am mentoring who was using one of my laptops. We live in an area where we can get 8 MB of download. She was achieving her daily line counts 3 out of 5 days. She decided to buy a laptop and return mine. The laptop she now has only has 512 MB RAM, 2.6 Hz motherboard, and 540 RPM hard drive. She has had it for over a month, and has not yet had a day where she has made line counts. She is very frustrated.
Sometimes people who cannot make line counts for some of the companies where they work directly through the internet (VPN), it is not because of stipping the lines and/or ability of the MT, it has everything to do with the speech of the computer, the internet, and the VPN they are attached to.
What is the best brand of medical referecnes?
Stedman's, Dorland's, etc....
but this one is brand new, just bought today
And I tried restarting the computer and now the whole background is PINK. Not my color today!
Yes, if they're brand names...
Unisom is a brand name and would be capitalized. Generic drug names are not capitalized, unless your account specifics or boss say otherwise.
