Now that I've tried to understand your 2nd post, I believe these questions you have should be addressed with your supervisor over at the company. You will be working from home FOR them, so you need to get clarification about EXACTLY what they EXPECT from you. Hopefully, they will be flexible so that if you make your line count, if a line count is required, you can do the lines in the shortest amount of time. However, you need to know where THEY are coming from. They may want an 8-hour workday from you. Don't guesstimate would be my advice.

Good luck with them!!! 

the "laziness" that you describe is more likely due to demoralization with the constant take-aways from companies. I think someone would be foolish to enter this field now and there are those of us who are too old to change careers. I refuse to give the effort I gave when I had quality insurance, good line rate, incentives, etc.

The more I do the same ESL's, the less I CAN do them.  I don't mind doing them as it is challenging, but getting the same ones day after day seems to wear me down and I can't think clearly, so it takes longer for me to finish a report.  It used to take me 15-20 minutes to finish a report for a certain doctor, but now it may take as long as 45 minutes! I don't make sense to myself. LOL

He can't form a proper sentence.  "Since discharge, for followup, the patient, two weeks ago, was seen yesterday."  I wish it was a verbatim account.

Why does the US always have to be so darn politically correct.  We are going to //politically correct//outselves right out of existence one of these days.  Kiind of like that song that says you gotta stand for something or you won't mean anything.  We need some boundaries here.  *They* won't even let us have a common thread running through our nation anymore of having English-spoken-here to have us be a unified country.  They have fractured us to the point where we DO STAND FOR NOTHING.

I see these kinds of questions so often.  I was beginning to think everybody worries about this junk. 

If it were ME, I would be blaming myself.  Each and everyone of us are responsible, one way or another, as to what happens in our lives.  Too many people over the past so many years find it much easier to place the blame elsewhere.  That is one of the problems with our society.  I was "accused" of being an over-protective parent as my child grew up, but guess what, he never, ever even came close to an incident such as that, or close to being kidnapped or any of the other things going on in the world; didn't fall down steps; wasn't involved as a passenger in a car accident, wasn't around drug users or "bad" people, because I PAID ATTENTION...I didn't allow accidents.  Accidents are only LACK OF ATTENTION and lack of common foresight! 

Also, my "over-protectiveness" did not in any way inhibit my child's growth.  He is a Gunnery Sargeant in the Marine Corps and handles great responsibility well and has the foresight and the attention needed to prevent accidents! 

As for the driver of that car, I'm not trying to "take their side"....I'm just saying we don't know what the circumstances were....my goodness, we have all run over something in the road at one time or another and when the weather is inclement or it is dark, sometimes you don't know what it is.  I would certainly hope that if they knew it was a child, of if they find out through newscoverage that they ran over a child, that they will come forward.  I'm sure that at least 99.9999% of people out there will not willfully run over anyone.  Perhaps he/she looked down at the dashboard or the left rear window for just that one second and felt a thump as he car moved on.  Probably wondered what it was but had no idea whatsoever that it was a child....why would any driver in their right mind think that a 2 year old was out on the highway at 2:00 AM or midnight or whenever it was????? 

Believe me, that $2000 is only the beginning.  I do feel for these people but many of them are only used to hand outs and they will be getting them left and right.  Lets see how many of  them stand in line for a job.  I heard that WalMart will hire any evacuee, no matter what.  I wish they would report how many have been hired thus far.   I was watching Fox news the other day and one of the  guys they were talking to said something along the lines of "They aint helping us at all, its like they shipped us all on slave boats again"  He then said the F word, which Fox didn't see coming because you could hear it plain as day.  Now that is the state of mind of many of these people. Give me, give me.  The welfare system has tought many that the government will take care of them, they do not have to take care of themselves.  Now I am not talking about all the evacuees just the ones that are not used to fending for themselves.  

Okay, said what I had to say.  This just all gets to me.

I think it's great and a step in the right direction.  I think what this industry needs from us is proactive steps toward making it known to people outside of the industry just what is taking place.  If every MT concerned about their job security wrote letters to the President, their representatives, media people - reporters, in particular, and it began to resonate with people just what is taking place, maybe changes would actually happen.  It costs nothing to shoot off an email to a local reporter, a member of Congress, the Senate, etc.  Let's get them to pass laws making it illegal to send medical records overseas. 

I know that if a number begins a sentence you spell it out, but I'm not sure about after a colon.  We type:

BLOOD LOSS:  50 cc.

but what about

FLUIDS:  500 cc normal saline. (?)

Does the "500" need to be spelled out since there are words after the quantity, or is it considered part of a sentence beginning with "FLUIDS?"

Hi.

Was at my chiropractor's office today.  As the conversation progressed Dr. suggested that I might be able to get involved with their office doing MT work.  Offices in five states, new doctors that become busy need MTs to do their transcription.  I have owned my own business in the past and understand the in's and out's of that part of it.. My question is how would I set up a platform to do the work in case it would become busy enough to need another MT to help, software, expanders, etc.  I have a few very simple ideas like using MS Word and creating macros that can be sent to aother MT, etc.  but not sure that is what I would do.

Is there anyone out there with any suggestions or ideas?
