I'm always leary of hearing things like this, so my first stop is usually snopes.com. They list all sorts of urban myths and legends, as well as some true stuff that might surprise you. In response to this particular topic, nope, not true, false, don't think so, etc...

Check Snopes
I always check Snopes for stuff like this. I learned long ago not to forward anything like this, as it was a bit embarrassing to get a reply back saying "Snopes says this is a fake," etc. So I signed up for Snopes, get it every weekend, and voila!
That is a scam!! It is on snopes. It will not work
because it was posted by another gas company so you will buy from them!!
I just love it! Snopes authenticates it.

Please check Snopes before posting. This is a hoax & has been out for a while now.

Okay...say Snopes is correct and it's a rumor started by a gas company...
How does the gas company that started the rumor know everyone will flock to them?
I buy my gas from the station that posts the lowest price, and not necessarily twice in a row. I may buy from Kroger, Walmart, or some other company, but they're always selling for several pennies below the big companies.

Useful resource
Sharing this useful search engine for MTs that I came across on MT Mastery. See link below named "search engine for mts."
If that is the same resource you
then it is no longer free. They probably only offered it for free to work the bugs out of the program.
If it was not what you were looking for, then you might look around their site and see what you can find.
transcription resource
just a thought
Handy resource
A pretty handy tool to have.
Op Note CD Resource?
I have recently begun transcribing a lot of operative note. I currently use The Surgical Word Book by Claudia Tessier as a reference. It is rather cumbersome to keep going through the book. I was wondering if anyone knows of a CD reference for surgical terms? It would be so much easier!
You are welcome. It is my best resource for any support or technical help.

Need psych testing resource
I'm looking for a website(s) that has information on various tests used in psychological evaluations. Mostly I just need the names of the tests for reference. Any info is appreciated!
good resource site?
We used to have two people type radiology, but it is going to now be put in the general report pool. I have one book from stedmans, but am kind of nervous. Do you have any good websites?
Helpful resource link....
I came across this. Looked like something that might come in handy. Lots of things on here. Thought I would pass it along. Have a Happy New Year!
Helpful resource link....
Thanks, have already bookmarked it....along with a million other sites. Hopefully I will figure out what is truly helpful and what isn't and then weed out the ones that aren't.

Here's another good resource for op samples
Lots of useful samples in there.
http://medicaltranscriptionwordhelp.googlepages.com/operativesamplereports
While the internet is a good resource, I
also have reference books. Stedman's Medical and Surgical Equipment Word Book that I cannot live without. For drugs, rxlist.com and http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.Search_Drug_Name are both good. Also, mt911.com has multiple resource sites for sample reports, abbreviations, drug searches, etc.
Also, if you are doing 1 specific speciality, the Stedman's book for that speciality is a good resource. For example, I do some ophthalmology and am not familiar with that, so I have the speciality for that. Sometimes it is just easier to have a book where you can pull up the specific thing you are looking for; i.e., the listing "catheter" brings up pages of catheters. THis is much easier for me than guessing at a spelling on the internet and coming up with literally hundreds of choices.
a good resource can be found on the internet
You can go to the labor sites for various states and it will give you some, if not not all, of the information you seek. If it doesn't, it can give you phone numbers to investigate further.
I've found this resource pretty useful for rehab work. Link inside.
Have this as one of my bookmarks - found this handy whilst handling rehab work. Hope this helps!

I think I smell either VR on the easy stuff, or offshoring of the easy stuff.

Personal page/web page resource
Paula,
Thanks a lot for sharing these great websites!
Saw him on CMT show with John Fogarty. Great, great singer with a neat personality and drop dead
gorgeous without seeming to know it.
Great post. I swear by both Advantage and Frontline Plus-- both work great! - sm
I don't know about "natural" approaches for the house. I have always used flea bombs in the past before the miracle of Advantage and Frontline changed my life. Have not had a flea problem at all since I began using those products about 10 years ago, dose all the dogs religiously once a month with the Frontline Plus except in Dec.-Feb. to save a few bucks and because the ground is generally frozen by then and no fleas are scurring about. -- Hope you get flea free soon.
Thanks to all. Got some great feedback and ecouragement. This board is great.
My rant passed, ate a late lunch, now back to the trenches.
GREAT GREAT SHOW! I still think Ellen Pompeo
should have gotten the Emmy/Golden Globe whatever it was for the show. I like Sandra Ho, her character just needs more depth... Next week looks AWESOME!! Maybe there is still a chance for McDreamy!! First season DVD coming out with deleted scenes! Can't wait to get it & watch it!!
It is a GREAT company and great deal! I've had
Vonage about 6 months now and I love it. The only mistake I made was trying to keep my original phone # - I wouldn't recommend that. You have a temp # for a while, and the other provider can fight for the old #, etc. Go to vonage. com. They have new features all the time! There is even a new soft phone that is a phone on your screen. You don't need a real phone when working - just headset. It has 800 #s you can have very inexpensively - great voice mail. You get emails when you have new messages, etc. I only wish I had used them a year ago! Nothing but good things to say, and I complain about everything! 
Sounds like he will do great then. Again, best wishes for great success!

That's great Patti. Thanks. Have a great time at the beach.

You should feel great as a transcriptionist if they think your work is that great!!!
It is not your fault they approached you. I think it would be a different storey if you were the one searching for the job to take away from a company. They obviously want to get rid of the company and if you didn't take the job they would probably ask someone else. You should enjoy the better position and not feel guilty!!
Great post -great job of wording your answer! (sm)
Original poster - I completely agree with this answer, especially the part about finding yourself and using all that you have learned intellectually and connecting that to something that you will also enjoy with your heart!! You have so many wonderful options for your future - much more than many of us.
IT - great program, great support system. nm

stuff
I really, really saw a shooting star or an angel or something the day before my Dad's funeral 10/15/00. It was a crystal clear day, I heard something that just lead me outside and I looked up and saw the shooting star or whatever. My Brother-in-Law saw it too because he was outside washing the cars. But it was a calming thing, like he was giving us a signal that he was doing just fine.
QA stuff
I have a hard time with ESL's but I was trying my best
I'd tell them to stuff it, but that's just me
Sick of the way the companies refuse to let the facilities or the physicians know when they're just being ridiculous and take it out on us because we're "nobody important."
Do not buy from the(right)stuff
I paid $390 for a C-phone that worked for 20 minutes. It kept shorting out, and then died. The repair shop said motherboard was fried, not repairable. The guy did not even include the power cord with it. Rip off.
I could become such a cow on that stuff!
It is addictive. Yummy.
Well, I know my stuff, been doing nothing but ER MT
for 10 years...why I don't I get paid for my knowledge, for being a good employee, i.e., never call off even if sick, never miss my shift, and still not valued. Not sure I understand what you mean in your post about MTs not being good MTs because when you do find a GOOD MT, y'all don't value them anyway!
QA stuff
Hayseed, I don't know squat about QA, but learning something new in this field only makes you more valuable to yourself and to the company you work for. You have nothing to lose, lots to gain, and if you hate it, you can always go back to transcribing. Variety is the spice of life!
Congratulations! Let us know how you like it after you get a few days under your belt.
