I've been wondering, on an average 8 hour day....how many reports do you get done? I'm not really talking very specialized reports, just MRIs, X-rays, US, CTs.

I've been doing rads for a little while now but still can't get a solid idea of how many I should be doing. Every once in a while I'll get a 3-5 min nuke med report but overall most of the reports are about 1-2 min (or less) with great dictators.  When I ask my lead, she just tells me "as many as I can."

I'm the kind of person that can't just trot along....I need to have a goal of some sort and the other MTs on this account don't want to share their stats (greedy, I think, since I know they make more than I do and they don't want me "taking" any work from them even though there's more than enough to go around).

Summa cum laude, thank you very much.

Long, complicated story. Basically, I'm a clinical year short of a Clinical Laboratory Science degree, but I won't go back and pursue it barring losing my husband. Also, if I'd have thought more carefully when I switched out of the CLS program, I was only 3 or 4 classes short of a B.A. in psychology. Oh, well. What I ended up with is essentially a liberal arts degree with lots and lots of science classes and lots of psychology classes and a smattering of language studies.

Like some of the other posters, my ultimate goal is to get into P.A. school once my youngest kiddos are school age. I think I'm too old for med school now, but it raises my hopes to see the post below. Being a transcriptionist pays the bills, but some days I do kinda get upset with myself. Here I am doing the same thing I went to school not to do any more. Sigh...

MTing is not bad, but I just don't get enough people contact, and it certainly doesn't have a lot of money or prestige associated with it. Sigh.. again. Ah, well. It works for my family right now.

So I can make the kind of living I was used to with less headaches and be able to do some traveling with my work.

Also will be able to buy a bigger house!!!

taking place concerning this relatively new medication.  Below is a single example of Fosamax prescribing from the "norm."  If I were typing that report, I would type it verbatim and not flag/question the physician's dictation.

                                            FOSAMAX DOSING

The prevention dose is 5 mg daily, the treatment dose is 10 mg daily. Alendronate should be continued indefinitely. Although discontinuation of the alendronate does not result in the rapid bone loss seen with HRT discontinuation, a gradual decline does occur, so some maintenance therapy should be utilized. The dosing may be modified once optimal bone mass is restored.  One could then consider the 10 mg dose to the 5 mg prevention dose daily, or perhaps to 10 mg every other day.  A once weekly dose of 70 mg or a twice-weekly dose of 35 mg is presently being evaluated as an alternative-dosing regimen but has not yet been approved. (Study results pending).

Found this excellent resource for ops - sharing with all.

I did not advise her not to claim it, she can do what she wants.  A company can expense out without filing a 1099.  I have expensed out without doing 1099's before and have never been questioned by the IRS.  In fact you have to notify the IRS that you will be filing 1099's.  Do all hairdressers report all of their "cash" tips?   I suppose you could do 1000 jobs at $500 each to make your 50K per year and not claim it but I doubt that you could find that many jobs.   All we are talking about here is one job and that is what I based my answer on not the hypothetical "thousands of jobs under $500".  I doubt that the amount she made would change her "owed taxes" except for social security and even then not that much.  Sp again -- she needs to do what she feels is the correct thing to do and if she loses sleep over not reporting a couple of hundred dollars then report it but do not expect a 1099. 

say so only to make themselves feel superior.  You think you're better because you say what you say.   But how much do you do?  When Bush cut taxes, did you feel  so strongly that it was a mistake that you insisted to continue to send in the former higher Clinton taxes?  Or do you think that only those horrid selfish "rich" people should pay?  Sounds bites and lip service. 

30 days is up.   If you paid via credit card you can file a claim with the credit card company, even if you paid via Paypal with a credit card.   You can also file a fraud charge with the U.S. postal service if the item went through them.    With the post office it would take a while to get your money though.   You can also notify the police in her state/county, though most likely they will take a report and that is it, unless this is a habitual thing and others have complained.  

Hopefully the administrator will be able to help you.  

Hello. I have a few small part time transcription accounts and want to know how I can claim them so I can accumulate time for Social Security benefits. I'm an independent contractor using 1099.  

Thanks,

Terry

I've said it before and I'll say it again...back that sh^t up with a specific name or a place so there can be actual consequences.  I can throw anything in quotes and say I heard it from somewhere or someone.  It holds no water and only serves to get people workedup for an invisible fight.

Am I doubting what she heard is true?  Maybe, maybe not.  It can't be proven because there is no factual evidence provided.  However, my mother was an LPN and she always said her higherups referred to her as nothing more than an overpaid candystriper or overpaid a$$ wiper.  My father, a machine mechanic, said he was referred to as an overpaid janitor.  It's a wicked old and wicked lame argument to get the reader or listener riled up to basically do nothing and it's amateur stuff.  But, that's just me. 

SHOW US THE NAMES!  Then we can gather our pitchforks, burning keyboards, and Betty Crocker aprons and go to war!
