A period of 45 minutes (the singular period would be the subject thus requiring was). Also, it would be the possessive Dr. Smith's

"were"
more than one unit was administered --> plural --> "were." if it were just the drug with no dosage, it'd be "was."
I think "were" would be correct because ----
The subject of this sentence is "units" and therefore were would be correct?
if it were written Pitocin 20 units then "Pitocin" would be the subject and it would be was.
If I am wrong, can someone explain why please...
Thank you.
. . . or "were" implemented, perhaps. . . nm

oops "WERE" numerous complaints...lol

Singular V. Plural...
I hate it when doctors don't know the diff between singular and plural, i.e. "In the lower part of the abdomen and pelvis there is normal organs bilaterally" cuz I have to go back and change the darn sentence! ARGH
typing pleural when you mean plural
The sclerae (plural) are injected, meaning SM
Blood vessels are visible.
crepitants is plural of crepitant - no such word as crepitance sm
regardless of what it says in AAMT BOS.
plural possessive, the experience belongs to the years..nm

Probably old question..history and physical plural or singular?
A history and physical was done OR A history and physical were done.
I used to say he nursed for 30 minutes every 30 minutes. I was trying to figure
out a way to strap him across my chest so he could help himself while I went about whatever it was I had to do. I really miss those days too.
It was for a job, which requires me to ....sm
download ExpressScribe. I am trying to get this on there and it won't let me. To take the test, I have to have this ExpressScibe. So that is why I was trying to do it.
If it requires that much knowledge
above the normal they might consider paying a wage for it - starting .07 cpl doesn't exactly scream you're valued for your knowledge.
Editing requires a somewhat different set of SM
talents and skills, Carole. Some make more, some less, depending on that. Also, very important, depending on how the lines edited are being counted compared to the amount of work required--this can vary widely, even within a company depending on which account being worked on.
Excuse me, but VR requires the same
skill as a QA also. It would be exactly like reviewing a report sent to QA as it has to often times be corrected for grammar, punctuation, spelling, words, etc.; just as if an MT had sent it in for a question.
ATT- I was paying $320 for 7000 minutes, I am now paying $175 for 5000 minutes in CA. nm

That doesn't even matter if the DOJ only requires your
SSN and address. The criminal background checks aren't coming from the DOJ. The MTSO or national is requiring a criminal background check. That's their prerogative. You either submit to the criminal background check, or you look for work elsewhere. It's that simple. There is NO law requiring background checks. It's not a violation of privacy because you agree to it before it's done. As the other poster said, what's wrong with it if you've got nothing to hide? Many times, you're getting a computer and access to people's private health records. I don't want a criminal having access to my medical records.
Co. requires outdated version...
Trying to get started with Focus and they require Microsoft Office Professional 2003. I cannot get this from a reputable company. They tell me that 2007 is not compatible with their system, but the people from microsoft doesn't see how it couldn't be. Does anyone know a legal and reputable way to get this?
I have 1 year of experience. Does anyone know of another good company that willh hire PT with this experience. Thanks.
But QAing requires much more knowledge
and experience than VR editing. They can hire newbies to do VR editing, but not QA.
If the law requires that a patient's record be
protected by HIPAA, and HIPAA laws have no effect overseas, wouldn't it logically be a violation to send the record overseas?
Only if your city requires it. I work as an IC
and my city does not require a business license for this.
My question is why do you want that kind of pressure in a job that requires you to
work 80 hours a week? If working 80 hours is part of the job at any given time, why would you want it?
Becoming a nurse requires education and certification.
MT does NOT. A flying monkey could become an MT with a little training. Some people make it sound as if we're doing brain surgery here. Honestly, we are glorified typists. Anyone who thinks it's more than that is just trying to feel better about being a medical typist. I get slammed all the time for this opinion, but the harsh reality of it is that this is NOT a difficult field to get into IF you have the proper skills. Don't slam someone for being a nurse and wanting to transition to MT. She has more education and certification in the medical field than we do. As long as she has good grammar, spelling, research, and typing skills, SHE WILL DO GREAT!!!! Why do people have to be so egotistical and negative on these boards? We ought to encourage newbies getting into the field instead of telling them it's too difficult or they aren't qualified. Hey, let's just alienate all the newbies and send the work overseas to people who don't have EFL skills.
You need Microsoft's Word. It is a program that requires
installation. The account sounds good at 13/cent a line. Better invest in Word (costs a bit) unless you have a kind friend who will share theirs with you.
Thanks for all the info. I will check and see what my State requires(nm)

PA requires you to charge sales tax on your work...
if you send your completed work to a MT company or doctor within PA. However, I send my work out of state, so I don't have to charge sales tax and I don't need a license. I had asked someone at one of the companies I IC for and she said that she had heard of that before from one of the other girls. When I lived in WA state, I had a business license from the state and had to file every year. The sales tax thing was a real shock to hear at first!
This is a very serious situation that requires medical attention
Believe me, it will be worth it. You need a slow steady six month wean off that powerful medication or your body could possibly seize up with an abrupt withdrawal - and that needs to be monitored by people who can help you.
I took Klonopin rx'ed for a year to help me sleep. When stress factor was removed, I tried to stop it and nearly went crazy literally. It sends you into a state that is highly agitated and your thought process is also going to be useless (you need to be with people whom you are safe with, people who know you). Tinnitus is one symptom that I experienced which was at a high decibel. Had I the ability to get away from work, I'd have gone into detox but instead, i cut pills up over six month period and weaned - even with the wean, you see, it is nearly unbearable. Oxycontin is being considered to be pulled off the shelf because of its highly addictive nature. When prescribed for over a two week period, providers should tell a patient what to expect when they want to stop the med; had I known, I would never have taken it. In the end, I appeared to be a drug-seeking individual when I was only in a state of anxiety due to the state my body and mind was in and could not tolerate it - leading me to beg for just one more prscription to get me off that monster of a drug.
Please, find another physician, possibly a psychiatrist as they are familiar with this, and get a regimen that will cause the least symptoms if you cannot go into a 30 day detox program.
I need help in MS Word. I have a new doc that requires almost every page to have different margins.
I used to have an account that we could type Control and L and that would make a page break with the margins for a letter. I don't know how to create this. I looked into macros in Word and am totally confused and have no idea what to do.
Can anyone help me figuer out a way I can assign Control and L for the letter margins and control P for progress note margins. I'd really appreciate any help
This won't keep records in the US. It only requires "written notice" - sm
I support this law, but only because it's the only game in town on this issue. It does not prevent private information from going offshore.
The "written notice" will be buried in the legal gibberish of patient privacy notification forms that they're required to sign - in Section 18, subsection 49, paragraph M, subparagraph 27. And, it will be expressed in terms that sound a lot better than sending your information to Bangladesh.
Ditto, credit cards. This notice will come in one of those gosh-awful "notice of changes to your account" things that we get from time to time and that no one can comprehend.
As a matter of fact, this law might actually cause more records to go offshore because it presumably provides "cover" for any company that complies with this extremely weak requirement ("notice"). All they gotta do is sling some of legalese past you, buried in pages and pages of other legalese, and they're home free.
Where I work requires average of 1200
lines per day for a 2-week period.
I won't work for a company that requires me to pay long distance
After getting reamed over by one MTSO who verbally promised to pay my unlimited long distance bill and didn't. I have no use for long distance because I use an inexpensive calling card or the Internet.
Company requires a C-phone. Will a Lanier Lx-219 work as well? sm
What is the difference in a Dictaphone, C-phone, Lanier LX-219 and Lanier Expresswriter or Voicewriter?
Thanks!
Vonages requires high speed internet...
so you would need either DSL/cable or broadband. I have broadband and hooked up to Vonage for 2 months for C-phone use. The audio quality was frequently poor and I would have to reboot. Some days I would just hook up to my home phone line to avoid the hassle. The kicker was when I went to disconnect this month, they charged me $97 TO CANCEL! Its all in the fine print, apparently.
My audio problems may well have had to do with broadband/satellite service more than anything. If you have cable/DSL it may be worth a shot, but know that if you cancel after their 30-day trial you are going to pay! 
A macro shortcut requires that you strike 2 or more keys. nm

Might need to mail her a letter from a lawyer that requires a signature and take some action. nm

It's a one-trick pony that requires us to sit on our butts on auto-pilot all day
Yeah, we do need to know terminology and how to use a computer to locate information, but every job has specifics that are required. How extensive is the knowledge we need if you think about it? We do the same thing every day, every month, every year like a hamster running in a wheel to nowhere.
What state requires a breast exam for a driver's license?!?!

Agree! Board is like chatting. Work requires more brain cells.

PT position requires Lanier dictaphone but I have VDI 3006 Digital SuperStation
Can I use a VDI 3006 Digital SuperStation when the job calls for Lanier dictaphone? I read a post that said Super Station could be used in place of Lanier but not the other way around.
And, if not...Do you think I should purchase a Lanier Dictaphone in order to get a PT job which sounds promising? It would be a fast return on my investment and I could use it in the future.
It is not a plural form. It is a possessive form. SM
The man's name was Metzenbaum and he devised this particular instrument. The correct spelling would be Metzenbaum's. WITH THE APOSTROPHE. AAMT BOS is full of crap.
VOIP - If I am not mistaken VOIP requires a high speed connection.
:(
I have 1st edition AAMT BOS, company requires I have 2nd edition.
I don't think you can just get updates but have to buy 2nd edition book. I need cheap. I did find one place for $70, anywhere cheaper? I checked the equipment board here for the last month and didn't see any offered.
It has taken me 20 minutes to look up
addresses for one patient report. That's a whopping four lines there. Someone mentioned earlier making sure that the platform was user friendly. It's simple enough to use, but this looking up information has got to go if I'm going to make any money at all. I wish I could find something where I could just cruise. Any ideas on companies without all the extra research done for free?
60 minutes
Depending on which account but 60 minutes to me is about $100 to $175 for me. If it would be my surgeons would be over $200. Sure they did not mean for 60 minutes of transcribing -- $40 per hour? Even dividing by minute that is less than $1 per minute. Way too low.
So, you are saying then that 90 minutes sm
would take approximately 4.5 to 5 hours?
I think 60 minutes and all of you should
Enough already! I'm sorry, but quite frankly your energy could be spent on much more important issues than offshoring medical records. Let's bring the fathers and mothers home. There are still physicians/facilities that use U.S. MTs. JMO. 
minutes
Anywhere from 175-250 depending on account.
It's on again in about 45 minutes.
Should be, anyway.
i had an 800 # before and yes we had to pay for minutes used. sm
i am sure there are different options out there and this was 5+ years ago though. could you rerecord and send to her via net?
I just saw one a few minutes ago
