Units being the subject. I was QA'd today. I was marked off for spelling out HCTZ which is on the dangerous abbreviation list. I pointed that one out to my supervisor.

yep, I understood what you were saying!
It's not fun to go through. I was so stressed the whole time. I often wonder if all of the transcriptionists went through the same thing at the place I worked. I could understand if it is a huge deal or something, but that was out of hand. 
Best thing I ever did for myself was move on!
I don't think you understood ...
She said that she was let go and is not under contract now and he is still calling asking questions, even though she is not working for them. I believe she should charge for his services also.
The way I understood the OP
it IS her company as in, she owns it. So, if that is the case, she absolutly has the right to demand that the company name, logo, or anything associated with it be taken down. Especially if it is plaster over a website that displays explicit sexual pictures. It is not about whether or not a person is homosexual, it is about the appearance of the company.
If the employee wants to plaster naughty pictures of herself, whatever. To each their own BUT, if it could possibly portray the company in a bad light, she should absolutely not put the company name out there on her personal website. It's bad taste.
At least you understood him.

I understood what you
Some people just want to jump to the worst conclusion. I understood exactly what you were saying. You are trying to earn less then $900. Why people are so judgmental about other people's circumstances is amazing. Talk about self-righteous.
At any time it was understood sm
that I would leave the room at the patient's request. I had to have HIPAA training just like the nurses or anyone else there. I was under oath to not disclose any info about any patient and I took that seriously. Most patients did not mind me being there and if they did then I left so they could discuss in more private. I always had to type in whatever was discussed in the room afterwards so I still knew what had went on.
Actually I never understood what was so special about them
I wouldn't care one way or another if I never heard another Beatles song again
If all IC's understood what that IC means, maybe...
there wouldn't be such a problem with the quality of pay for MT's. An independent contractor does NOT need to accept 5-6-7 cpl for their work and does not have to abide by MTSO's demands for overtime, etc. An IC tells THEM what she/he will do and how much she/he will charge the MTSO for their services. It's your business and you set the rules. I know this won't happen on a large scale now because too many people are desperate for the work and will agree to work for next to nothing. Too bad, because if all IC's set their pay scale like they should have in the beginning, the MTSO's would have to pay it in order to get their work done and would have to charge their clients enough to cover the costs.
Well, I am not positive, but the way I understood it--sm
was that the bill *strongly encouraged* physicians to upgrade and make paper medical records available on some type of electronic system so they could be accessed by computer. I do not necessarily believe that all doctors are going to be *forced* to use the EHR system for transcription...just so the records can be accessed on line by any physician anywhere. that is all. but that is just my understanding of it and again, I could be wrong. Sounds like she was just trying to scare you! She better be careful, maybe they will sign a bill allowing for robots to take over all nursing professions too. lol. j/k.
What is not understood here is unlike some others,
I am not in the situation to where I have to work, do it now because I have just worked so long, could retire, really don't want to do that so I am satisfied with my salary- even at the 8 cent straight and 4 cents editing, bring home every 2 weeks over $1000 and that is fine with me, no bills, no young kids, no worries.
Okay. Doctors that cannot be understood. Does

WE understood her just fine
You're just making yourself look really silly now.
Yes, thank you, that's how I understood your post.
No specific reference to newbies was made.
I've never understood why some people consider...
certain jobs to be more important than others. The old cliche "Any job worth doing is worth doing well" comes to mind.
I believe that a person what does for a living doesn't have any bearing on how valuable that person is or how important that person is. Some of the most wonderful people I've ever known don't have what some might feel are "important" jobs, but they are wonderful people nonetheless.
And, some people who have what some might consider higher class jobs (boy, I hate that outlook) are some pretty miserable human beings.
People are people . . . and their worth isn't tied to their job in my book. I want to be a good person, and what I do for a job doesn't have anything to do with that.
If a store manager is a good person, doing a good job, he's  to me.
I wish some people would get off their high-horse!
I started posting as a former bank manager in a thread about consumer credit counseling. It seemed relevant at the time. 
True, you understood me perfectly. (sm)
And some education in communication. Apparently, they are not looking at the whole picture and if they stepped out of the business they would be able to look at things from outside of the golden cuffs.
I never understood why NASCAR is the biggest
to watch cars go round and round and round and round for hours, days, weeks, months, years.......I get the gambling side of NASCAR but I don't get that it truly is (and IT TRULY IS!!!) the biggest spectator sport out there.
Haha...I read it once and understood exactly
what she said. She didn't get the face lift.
Understood. Sending a smile your way for a better day. nm

Believe it or not, only now I understood what you really meant in your post,
you meant that she should pose as an Indian, then she would be hired, that's funny!
I don't add it to the beginning as the noun is understood, especially if it a verbatim
account I would not change it.
I've always understood a CC to be an exact copy

I hope I understood your problem correctly:
You have on the back of your computer only 1 USB port for your footpedal, no serial port.
Your footpedal has a 9-pin plug, a male one.
What you need is an adapter that has on 1 end the USB plug to be put into the USB port on the back of the computer tower and on the other end a 9-pin plug (female) for your foot pedal.
After you connected these, you have also to set the right footswitsch option in your computer:
Click
control panel/footswitch settings/USB port.
Hope this helps.
No, you're not missing anything. I understood it to read the same thing.... nm

If patient is gravida 0 shouldn't para 0 be understood?

If it looked like a guess, I totally would have understood, but it doesn't.

Bad sentence
But if could affect the hysterectomy as if she kept bleeding it could cause complications with the hysterectomy i.e. transfusions, longer time, etc. which also could be what he means -- who knows.
Please sentence. TIA!
Cardiac catheterization showed mild coronary artery disease, osteocircumflex in the late mid right coronary artery 20% disease, normal LV function. Does this sentence make sense?
And they can't say a sentence without
Just to be cool - or kewl - or cool beans - whatever!
Need whole sentence.
The phrase high-resolution images is very common. Need more info before I can guess what else you are hearing.
YOU SAID IT ALL IN YOUR LAST SENTENCE...SM
They have to show something to justify their paycheck. Remember, for lack of a better way to phrase it right now, they're actually paid to find fault. If every MT turned in 100% perfect work (and you know they're not going to let that happen)...well, they'd just be out of a job. So the nitpicking continues. Turn in exemplary work, and they will find something wrong with it....do it their way, and tomorrow they'll like it better the way you had it the first time. For that reason, I avoid them like the plague, since I'm off QA. But recently I had occasion to e-mail QA regarding a STAT report I had sent in (required on the account for all STATs), stating only that it was a STAT report and that I had completed it. I received a dolled-up e-mail correction of where she thought a hyphen should not have been placed (where it was specifically dictated, no less). I e-mailed her back that this was not the reason I had contacted her in the first place...just to nitpick my work.
When they first did this to me, I thought I was imaging things...but as other MTs came forward, I got even more angry. All the (unpaid and unjustified) time I wasted on the back-and-forth nonsense that they were getting paid for, and all just so they could have something to show..see Ma, I'm earning my oats!
Also in your other sentence
Commas are confusing. Plus, we are trying to get through each report as quickly as we can. Often people tend to go more by sound/pause than by rule.
I think if we really look at it, the comma in your own sentence is not proper either: "I have been literally removing 10 or more commas in front of "with" every report, but only some MTs." - - I believe no comma is needed before the word but in this case since the remainder is not a complete sentence.
It helps if we know the whole sentence

Sentence -my 2 cents
She is a 66year-old white female who recently transferred to our practice with diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, hypertension and hyperlipidemia, who I refer to you at this time for further evaluation of anemia
She is a 66-year-old female who has recently transferred to our practice with diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism and hyyperlipidemia and is being referred to you at this time for further evaluation of anemia.
depends upon the sentence
This is only what I would do -
1. use a semicolon to preceded "80%" ... or ...
2. write out 80%: Eighty percent
I think either one would be acceptable. But, again, a lot of it has to do with my own personal preference.
at your sentence structure
you're putting us on, right? "you must have look for cheaper transcritionist"????? Are you truly Indian or is someone pulling our legs?
1 space after sentence
I made the switch to 1 space after a sentence more than 15 years ago when I got my first computer and everything was justified. If you can't remember to do, you can make an adjustment in Word to do it automatically for you or just make a macro to do it for you. I have one account who insists on 2 spaces and I cannot remember to do that so I just transcribe as I normally do and then run a macro to change it. You can also do a search and replace. Put in period space space and then replace with period space.

1 space after sentence.
Yes I have to do that also. It took me a long time to get used to it, however, but after awhile, it felt very natural.
re-read the sentence
>>>He indicated that at the beginning of the year he complained of health problems recently but has gotten better." C'mon doc, which one is it?????
Type this: He indicated that at the beginning of the year he complained of health problems, BUT recently HE has gotten better.
What a difference two little words make.
Actually, when it starts a sentence
,
p.r.n. at the beginning of a sentence
P.r.n. is incorrect. The correct way to type this would be:
1. Ibuprofen p.r.n.
not
1. P.r.n. ibuprofen
sorry for my sentence fragment....sm
Bad MT, bad MT....*slaps self*.......LOL
the remainder of the sentence, though
sounds like your version is correct...more aggressive treatment, as in the steroid injection or surgery, as opposed to him pursuing treatment more agressiveLY...IMO, you're right!
I agree w/you. BUT, in your 1st sentence...sm
You should have the period *inside* your ending quotation mark, not outside of it. (My personal pet peeve.) I'm just saying...
I think mine was 1 sentence...
...when I left MQ.
This is to let you know that ----- will be my last day of employment with MQ.
I know my PS also knew why I was leaving and there was no need to elaborate further, like I would have liked to, and possibly blown up a bridge or two. I got to tell everything to the person that conducted my exit interview, but what they did with that info, I have no idea.
Good luck!
Your last sentence is bizarre because
really I do not think has anything to do with anything. I fit the same profile, mother, gmother, the retirement bit but just don’t know where it plays into this picture? We were talking about a person wanting to do transcription and poster said not good speller.
Use perseverate in a sentence.
:)
I thought this was funny.
Doc dictates: "The patient perseverates. She was able to follow simple commands. She was able to name and repeat simple phrases and simple objects. The patient perseverates."
And then the doc adds: And if I said that before, I'm perseverating.
I have one who never ends his sentence
The whole body of the report is just one long run-on sentence, and I'm supposed to stop and start the sentences for him.
Your last sentence is correct. This is a JOB. - sm
I find it pretty hard to classify MT, in its current shabby state, as a 'career'.
If you look up the word 'career' in the dictionary, it usually describes some sort of FORWARD MOVEMENT within one's chosen path of employment - not the downwardly mobile wages and non-value as an employee that AHDI has so thoughtfully bestowed upon all of us. Somehow I don't see doggedly waiting at my computer for a tidbit-scrap of a job to be thrown at me, or trying to conduct a triage of my monthly living expenses, deciding which one I will skip this month in order to pay the others, as having a 'career'. This is just a 'job', and not a particularly lucrative one, at that.
Re-dictating a sentence in a different way, only - sm
not letting the MT know, and the sentence sounds like an extension of the first sentence. You don't figure it out til you get to the bottom of the report under Impressions, and then you have to go back and find that sentence and listen to it again. This always seems to happen in the middle of a 45 min. long mega-report, too.
Could someone tell me if I am punctuating this sentence correctly?
She had been complaining at that time of three weeks of diarrhea, which was watery – one episode per day.
