They are having me type in Word and then cut and paste from there instead of typing directly in Meditech. I have tried to type directly in Meditech, but my ShortHand nor spellcheck work at all. I am thinking there should be an icon there for spellcheck. Like I said it has been awhile, but I did ? them and they said they just cut and paste, so in other words they do not know either and I know there is a simpler way.

I have a Stedman's 3rd ed. (2003) that I purchased new (still in plastic) off of Amazon for $22. I like the HPI books, but I have never used the psych one, so I don't know how much difference there is, but I do know you can get the Stedman's cheaper than $36. Another book that I used a lot is the PDR Drug Guide for Mental Health Professionals 2nd ed. I bought it at Books a Million. I don't use it as much now since I am familiar with the meds, but it was great when I started doing psych because it only has the types of meds related to mental health in it. Check ebay and Amazon for books. They are SO much cheaper. I have bought almost all of my ref. books that way. Good luck! I love doing psych.

Yep. I had 2 scares within 2 weeks of each other. Found blood on the tissue very similar to when I start my period (I was 8 weeks and 10 week both times it happened). Hubby rushed me to the ER and after blood tests and ultrasounds I checked out OK. I'm now almost 18 weeks along with baby #3
I also had this with my son (second pregnancy) about 7 years ago. I happened almost every week. I carried him to term with no additional complications. And, with both of these pregnancies the bleeding ceased once I was out of the first trimester.
Hang in there.

You're going to need to be in "heading" when you number your pages (sure you already know that). When you are in your heading, a toolbar should pop up called "Header and Footer." This toolbar has an icon on it that looks like a piece of paper with a # on it. That is what you use to insert the page #. It should number consecutive pages 1, 2, 3, etc., unless you manually go in and create a new section (Insert Page Break, Section Break Type--Next Page). If you inserted that type of break, a new section would be started at 1, 2, 3, with new headings if you wanted them.
One thing to look out for--when you are in your "heading" section, a box is visible around your header with a broken line around it. Sometimes it will say "Same as Previous." That means, even though this might be a new section, you are telling the document to keep the header information from the previous section--which will really mess up your pagination! To get rid of that, roll your mouse over the "Header and Footer" toolbar until you see the icon "Same as Previous." Make sure it isn't highlighted.
Hope this helps and isn't too confusing for you. Good luck!
I hope somebody helps me out. SM
The two-space thing was for typesetters and typewriters. With today's proportional fonts, it is no longer necessary, and in fact leaves a "river of white" through a document. <--- this is from memory. I wonder if the BOS says so?

You need to belong to get your CMT (ka-ching!). You have to pay for the honor of taking the test (ka-ching!). You have to pay yearly dues (k!). You have to maintain your continuing education credits. You have to pay to renew your CMT (k!).
The cost is significant. The payback, unless you want to pursue a higher calling of being on AAMT boards/leadership, is basically nil.
I've worked in supervision/upper management for 3 nationals who really didn't care if I had a CMT or not. I've served on AAMT boards, so I've seen both sides of the game.
I will never again align myself with an organization that has so little vested interest in my success, and overtly works to take food off of my table.

Maybe you should let things ride out. She may realize that she is not able to do the work and get frustrated and quit. You know how starting new jobs and be horrible.
I would just go with the flow and see how things pan out and then talk to someone if that doesnt work.

Yes, it probably has a lot to do with menopause, but the part of your story that struck me is your concern about what the hometown folks might think or say "if" you chose, for whatever reason, to return.
I just don't get that: Isn't YOUR opinion more important than those who would judge you?
THEY may not believe in divorce (and hopefully this is a temporary difficulty with your husband) but THEY don't live your life or walk in your shoes.
I hope you rethink how much importance to attach to others' opinions - yours is the only one that matters.

I used to do training, and a lot of us can use the language, we just can't name the parts. The cheat just came to me one day when I was groping for words to explain it to a trainee and it seemed to do the trick.
Hope this helps, a little more serious
1. How long have you worked as a medical transcriptionist? 5 years
2. What certification have you received? None, worked in ER for 6 years before doing this
3. What attracted you to pursuing a career in medical transcription? Working from home and love to type.
4. What type of environment do you work in (i.e. from home, physician’s office, hospital, other). Home
5. What do you think are the most important skills a medical Transcriptionist should have? Medical terminology, grammar, ability to work alone, discipline, etc.
6. Did some skills come naturally to you, while others required more practice? yes, typing was easy, learning ESL doctors was not.
7. In addition to transcribing medical reports, do you engage in other forms of business writing while on the job (such as memos, proposals, or progress reports, etc.) to clients, coworkers, or supervisors? Please explain. No
8. What do you think is the most difficult aspect of medical transcription? Poor quality voice files and ESL docs who make up words.
9. What do you find to be the easiest aspect of medical transcription? Typing
10. As a medical transcriptionist, do you often need to collaborate with others to ensure that all the information in your reports is correct? I wouldn't say often but sometimes and especially during training.
I also considered going to Sinclair for my medical transcription career but decided to train from home. I was told by the hospital where I was working that Sinclair had a great program. Good luck!! If this is something you think you will like, don't let anyone bring you down. You either love it or hate it and I just happen to love it.

Hi. Not sure how much experience you have and how much distraction you'd have, but after 2-1/2 years, I make 3.5 cents for VR. I work about 7 hours a day and make about 75.00 a day; HOWEVER, I have distractions (kids), and I don't always make my maximum capacity earnings in one hour due to stopping quickly to do something for one of them (fix a glass of milk, for example). So, if you are distraction-free, I'd say once you learn the dictators, you can do this. VR, like straight transcription, does require a learning curve and learning your dictators, so you probably won't do this right away, but it's definitely doable down the road for you. Good luck.

Most physicians in offices have had a medical Transcriptionist so they know what they want. Try to get an account first and be prepared to accept whatever they need you to buy. Be honest with them about it. Once you obtain one client, and you do well, more work will come in through their referral. Just don't undervalue your worth and charge what you feel you are worth. After all, 16 years is a lot of experience under your belt. If you provide excellent work, they will be glad to reimburse you with a good rate.
Hope this helps.
Rate for beginning MT with less than perfect grades in MT course (if lucky enough to find work)= 6-7 cents/line on 65 cpl with spaces.
Rate for beginner with very good grades in MT course and attendance at better than average MT school = 8 cents/line, 65 cpl, with spaces, to be advanced to 9 cents/line in a few months if producting quality work.
Rate for experienced MT who produces quality work = 9-10 cents/line, and in time hopefuly will be raised to 12 cpl. I believe this is the maximum you would receive anywhere as an employee or independent contractor no matter how much experience you have. You would have to become a MTSO and have your own accounts to charge more thatn 12 cpl.
Rate for MTSO = 15-20 cents/line, $20-30/hour, $6-$8/page. I do not know what the MTSO would charge the hospital for VR editing, but I do believe it is less than the 15-20 cpl, but no 100% positive.

Question |
I get an attachment that is called winmail.dat but I can't open it. What can I do?
|
Problem |
When someone uses Microsoft Outlook to send messages through the Internet with attachments and they use the Microsoft Outlook Rich Text format, some recipients report that the message includes an additional file called the Winmail.dat file. The Winmail.dat file is usually very small, but you cannot open it in the message. The original message attachment is not always separate from the Winmail.dat file attachment, and may be included in the Winmail.dat file attachment.
This problem occurs because the Winmail.dat file is used to preserve formatting that the sending client includes in the message, but the receiving client does not recognize the Winmail.dat file. In Outlook, the Winmail.dat file includes Rich Text Formatting (RTF) instructions. This type of formatting is used with the Microsoft Outlook Rich Text format and when you use Microsoft Word as your e-mail editor. Only other Outlook users can read the attachments.
|
Resolution |
To resolve this problem the person sending the attachments with Outlook needs to do the following:
1. On the Tools menu, click Options and then click Mail Format.
2. In Compose in this message format, click to select Plain Text, and then click OK.

I figured it out----yes you can adjust the speed and here's how to do it. Hope this helps someone
There are a couple of ways to adjust playback speed.
1. Right-click on the Windows Media Player 10 title bar, choosing "Play" - "Play Speed" and selecting "Fast", "Normal", or "Slow".
Or, for more intricate adjustments:
1. Click the "Now Playing" tab.
2. Right-click on the Windows Media Player 10 title bar, choosing "View" - "Enhancements" - "Play Speed Settings".
3. A panel should appear at the bottom of the "Now Playing" tab.
- Click "Slow", "Normal", or "Fast" for basic play speed settings.
- Move the slider to the left to slow the playback; moving the slider to the right speeds up playback. For reference:
"Slow" speed is 0.5
"Normal" speed is 1.0
"Fast" speed is 1.4
If you're having trouble moving the slider, uncheck "Snap slider to common speeds" to allow speed changes across the slider bar. Note that some files may not correctly play at speeds less than 0.5.
The hospital where I work uses Chartscript.net. I hope this helps. sm
You clerk is wrong. You have to manually add a CC using cont +E, otherwise the doc will not get a copy of the letter or note. When you do Cont +E the option to add a provider comes up. Click on that. Do a search for your doc, click select. You should then see that your original Cont +E screen now has the dictating doc on top and the doc you want CC'd on the bottom. Click OK and you should be good to go. If you have further questions, feel free to email me. CS.Net is not very user friendly at times.
I was hired for a specific account/specific
work type. I've learned the dictators, done the macros, now they need to hire new MTs because the workload has increased, so they switch me to a very difficult account, doing everything but my normal work type. Does this make sense? I'm productive on my original account, not productive on new account, plus I'm majorly stressed. I do ESL 90% of the time but the new account is really horrible, not only ESL but they mumble and the quality of the dictation is bad. If you took a new hire and put them on this account and they stuck it out, maybe they wouldn't think these dictators would be so bad. I've talked with the MTSO and they say they'll switch me back and that lasts 2 weeks and then back to this horrible account. It would be different if they called and said we need you to do this account for a couple of weeks, but it doesn't pay enough for me to do from now on.
I understand this is the way the business is and my griping probably isn't going to help anything, but I just had to get it out.
I hope this applies to companies like Medquist. I hope there
isn't a way they can get around it. I REALLY hope.

How much more specific does it need to be?

I am only using about 25% of my hard drive, and I defrag regularly. I am always getting rid of stuff that I am not using anymore, but my computer is still SUPER slow a lot of the time. It is almost always sluggish, and seems like there is something downloading that I can't see. Does that make sense? I check the running processes and programs and can't see anything there, but there is definitely something going on.
Any ideas on how I can find my gremlins?
Can you be more specific?
There are numerous programs, legit and not so legit, which have similar names. There's a CA Anti-Spyware 2008 (legit) and then there's one referred to as "Zinaps" Anti-Spyware 2008 (which is a trojan). In any case, you need to correctly identify what's actually running in order to know whether it's a threat or not and how to remove it in either case. For the latter (mentioned above), see http://www.precisesecurity.com/threats/zinaps-anti-spyware-2008/
Beyond that, downloading and running either Ad-Aware or Spybot Search and Destroy would presumably detect (and possibly remove) what's running if it's spyware/trojanware.
To be specific...
The "account" that I do - I currently transcribe for only one facility - does not offshore - so only transcriptionists are hired that can produce the work required without needing someone to edit the transcription. I understand that editing can be in either form - correcting or filling in the blanks of someone who isn't qualified to produce a final document (as in a new transcriptionist's work) or VR (which I have done with past accounts). As I said, I am fortunate to have that opportunity and not all are so fortunate. I also have the luxury, because of years of only acute care experience, to have had a choice in who I work for. I know that isn't the case for everyone. I am also not currently the sole supporter of my family and I have been in that position in the past.
However, I think that if each of us who personally has the ability to do so - economically-speaking - that we try not to make it easy for those companies offshoring who are asking for our years of experience to train their transciptionists. In a perfect world.....

Yes, you would need the specific software.
DocShuttle integrates with the other pieces of the Bytescribe system which basically allows the software to do the work of uploading and downloading. Without your piece, you wouldn't be able to send or return work.

Radiology specific CMT
How can I become a CMT which is radiology specific? Do I contact AAMT? It is my hope that the focus of the test is primarily on radiology and anatomy as I have been out of the other fields for such a long time, it would be impossible to pass the test (I have heard the standard CMT test is quite difficult, is this true?).
Thank you and Happy Holidays Inspite of It All!!!!

specific points
Any specific points that you feel are meaningful to you. Whereas in my situation I am going to make the point that I applied at a hospital and intended on working for the hospital and not being outsourced after 10 years. The benefits aren't going to be as good for me, and also with outsourcing like that they put so many people on the account to get that turnaround time real fast that you run out of work. Those are just a few of my points. What I am going to do is make an outline of why outsourcing is a bad idea for the hospital and bad for us on a personal level just to sum it up, and then I am going to proceed on with my letter.
That's a specific problem
that the Canadian gov't has promised to address. I think it has something to do with very expensive MRI equipment and a huge country to cover. I don't think anybody is demanding that their single-payer system be abandoned over MRI delays.
Naturally people who can afford to go somewhere to buy "fast track" care are going to go there. Ever hear about the private Saudi jets lined up in Rochester, Minnesota?
Would you mind being a little more specific
on the hospital? It's always nice to know where there might be some potential job openings if needed.

There you go. They hired you for a specific shift SM
What comes with that is that sometimes there is no work. The people who were NOT hired for a specific shift don't have to "save" work for you. They shouldn't have to.
No, I don't sit for 40 hours and then do another 20, but as an IC, if I needed money, this is exactly how I'd get it.

What you do with
I would just ask for it -- unless you have a contract with them for a specific price and is due to
expire on a certain date, otherwise you may have to wait until then to renegotiate a new line rate.
So, if I hire someone to cover a specific
eight-hour period and she decides she wants to stop after six hours and spend the last two hours of her shift making dinner, how is the work that comes in during those two hours supposed to get done? Or does that not matter in your world? I have contractual TAT to meet, and I determine schedules on that basis, not on someone's dinner plans. If an employee of mine agrees to cover a specific period of time but fails to do so for something other than a legitimate emergency (and the OP was clearly already making plans not to work the full eight hours of her shift), then that employee is fired. I can do that. I have done that. I don't care how much work gets done in the first six hours. If someone has a specific eight-hour shift, it's because there is work to be done during all eight hours. Leaving the last two hours of work undone on a whim could put me out of business. I will not allow some little princess to do that to me.
