BOS2 sm
Please do not feel bad, I have been transcribing for ages and tested not so good because of the BOS. I took a test locally (psych) and they told me to do it their way; never mind anyone else's. I had a terrible time as I didn't know what their way was.I kept asking myself if it was okay. They noticed the difference in my format and didn't like it, they wanted it the old way. I felt like I was flunking kindergarten. It's not easy but you will get a second chance and a third and fourth by others. Just try to learn the thing and don't take it personally. Give it your best shot and feel better about yourself, it's not you, believe me.Typing in the dark, so excuse me. I don't follow the BOS for my own notes. Don't care for it myself, but when in Rome, do what the Romans do, even if you don't like it. Good luck, hang in there!!!
Per BOS2 either way.

Actually according to the BOS2
on page 189,
Always capitalize genus names and their abbreviated forms when they are accompanied by a species name.
Haemophilus influenzae
Escherichia coli
Staphyococcus aureus
HOWEVER:
Lowercase genus names used in plural and adjectival forms and when used in the vernacular, for example, when they stand alone (without a species name).
staphylococcus
group B streptococcus
staphylococci
staphylococcal infection
staph infection
strep throat
So moraxella without a species name should not be capitalized according to BOS2.
tell them to stick the BOS2
down the garbage disposal.
However is in charge of this book needs to get on Tegretol, to control their bloody mood swings.
What next? You can only transcribe using the DVORAK keyboard?
Follow-up per BOS2 is not to be used.
Followup is noun, follow up is adjective or verb.

BOS2 is good enough. Not many changes
and most companies are still using BOS2, so if it's a lot cheaper, might as well go for it...
Can you please tell me what page - I can't find this in BOS2. nm
x
Per BOS2 - there are spaces, no punctuation between T N M (nm)
x
disk for both according to BOS2 now. It changed since BOS1. nm
x
Agree with poster below - BOS2 says x2 no space, but the way your
supervisor wants it is the way to go ALWAYS, be it right or wrong, or how you have done it in the past. After all, if you are not doing it the way the client/supervisor/QA says, you can be dismissed for not following instructions.
online testing seems to favor BOS2 but..
my hospital used BOS3. I failed a test recently because I used BOS3 so you can't win.
BOS2, pg. 180, don't hyphenate fractions written out and used as nouns, so correct w/o the hypen
/
Edit - sorry. Every single employer wanted me to have my own copy of the BOS2.Need coffee.

medical abbreviation list and medical drug list
Hi,
Anyone there who could help me out finding the latest abbreviations list.
I even want the latest drug list because my current program does not have many drugs.
So if anyone could suggest anything which is available online for informationd quick look purposes.
any help for medical abbreviation list and medical drug list would be very helpful.
not me. Sometimes I even wonder if I'm on the list...sm
his parents are elderly and are quite good at being graciously demanding. As soon as he walks in the door at 4:00 p.m., the phone is ringing wondering when he will be over to shovel the snow off of their walk - and they don't even leave the house. I definitely feel he puts his parents before me. Like the line "I knew it was over when...", when for our 25th anniversary, he gave me a $2.99 bouquet the night before and then planned to go to his mom's for dinner the night of. Not divorced, can't quite get to that but have the same fantasies of running away and boy, then would he be sorry  . Breaks my heart to hear people calling each other soulmates as I believe I will never have that.
It's pn my wish list too,
but the one I tried out in the store had so many hard spots in it, I don't think it would be very comfortable to sit in all day.
wish list
I wish to find a company that:
Goes by lines/production and lets me have a window (12 or 24 hrs)instead of keeping a timecard.
Does not use a platform!! Maybe just has an FTP site or something, download the voice, then upload the jobs when done.
Not constantly IM'ing me!
this list
Would love to see a copy of this as well. Thanks.
I won't list them all but -
my hubby absolutely cracks me up. He has a wonderful sense of humor and makes me laugh everyday (even on those "bad" days). He tells me daily that he loves me or asks me "Do you know how much I love you?" He is the only man I have ever been in love with AND trusted. 
here's my list sm
Survivor
Amazing Race
Desperate Housewives
Grey's Anatomy
Lost
Invasion
Medium
Switch with ER and Without a trace
Criminal minds
I have no life.
if there's more than 1 med, I'd list...
Here's the list....sm
Dogs: Shaina, Tiger & Taffy
Cats: Pearl, Ribbon, Samson, Ember & Hollow
Rabbit: Bonnie
Goldfish: Barbie
YES, we have a lot of pets! I had 1 dog, 1 cat, 1 bunny and the goldfish and when we got married last month my husband had the 4 cats and 2 dogs... so now we have a full house for sure!!!
No GAB on my list either
How do I get the GAB on my list?
here is a list of what i did
Completely and totally uninstall ANY remant you have of the program. Then try a reinstall. If that does not work, I would suggest calling Stedmans...they may have a patch. I didn't get a new dictionary until the 2007 version so there may be something in there that they can give you to solve the issue.
when I do that, I have to do it for each list, is there a way...
to make it stay that way all of the time?
the list so far
OK- so far I have pixked up from the responses the following. I have not been able to process them fully to determine if a full course is needed as of yet.
1- need to learn format- Would this be similar to writing up charts? Or do MTs have their own format in which they follow? We learned many different ways (or formats) to write up charts in school- and had the freedom to choose which worked best for us individually in our practice. A specific MT format would be something to learn in a class if they have one of their own. I've written my own charts for many years, so if it is similar to that- then I should pick it up quick.
2- need to develop or experiment with hand -eye- listening skill for pedal/typing/translating - I have very good hand eye coordination from being a dentist and performing procedures. And type fairly fast. I suppose I could figure out how to try out the devices before determining if it was something I wanted to do.
3- need to listen to some actual tapes- good idea. I am sure they are unlike the tapes of lectures that I transcribed in Dental School. I have watched my ENT mumble into his recorder in amazement many a time.
4- might be dissapointed in the difference in pay- definately something I already had considered. I am not looking for the same compensation. I don't expect it. I still have an office to go back to when I am ready - and do locum tennans here and there. I have no idea what an MT makes. What do they make?
Thanks- Susan

list
Try this site:
www.mtdaily.com/mtcos.html.
It lists companies by state with web sites and contacts. This is how I found the job I have now. Good luck and best wishes.
Ok, here's my list......
1. Coffee
2. AC - Have to be cool (it's 93 in southern CA today)
3. Quiet
4. Burt's Bee's lip balm.
5. Hand lotion
6. My desk/chair/keyboard all adjusted just right.
7. Snacks like grapes or yogurt-covered raisins.
I think that covers it!!
a list
x-ray
ultrasound
CT/CTA
MRI/MRA
mammograms
DEXA scans (bone densitometry)
nuclear medicine scans
PET/PET-CT
and a slew of special procedures (invasive) such as:
tube/port placement
angiograms
arteriorgrams
angioplasties
epidural injections
biopsies
to name a few.
Thanks, but I have that list.
I have to follow the BOS 3rd edition for my company so I can't ignore it (unfortunately). I seem to have a lot of trouble finding what I need quickly in that book. I guess my brain is not organized in the same manner. Every time I read it I find something new.
As far as I know, there is not any list --sm
that can be imported into AutoText. You have to enter manually.
We can only use the list they provide
Hard to find when you're not sure what the name is even starting with. Even with a data base of 1,000 physicians, it's constant searching. I use the search option and try to search for just one tiny part of the name I can understands, but it takes forever!
I found the list. If anyone else is looking sm.
Go to CNN.com homepage, click on the story about family looking for missing loved ones. On the top of that story page there is a link called "Safe List." That lists the names of everyone that has reported in as being safe.
Unfortunately, Andre Pouliot from Biloxi, Mississippi is not on that list. That is who we are looking for.
Thank you again. We'll keep looking.
OTI should be on the good list too.
If you like flexible hours, decent accounts, no harassment from the office but plenty of good tech support, and IC status so you work your own schedule. If that's what you're looking for, OTI is a great place to work.
drug list
Does anyone know of a site to download/print a drug list (quarterly drug index)? The one I have is old and the IDI I have is from 1999.
You just put yourself on the list with Walmart (sm)
You really just listed yourself in a class of people that don't deserve much credit either. You are upset with Target because they don't support the military...however shortly thereafter you made it clear of your feelings about gays and lesbians. Have you ever stopped to think about how many of those young men and women over there in harms way every moment of their life are gay? Or do you only "recognize" the heterosexual soldiers? Gotta love a hypocrite that bashes someone else for categorizing people...yet fail to see how they manage to lodge their own foot in their mouth in the process.
Wal Mart on my poo list
I went to Wal Mart as I always do. I wanted the laptop for $386. I work two jobs and really wanted to be able to remove myself from my desk to do personal stuff wherever or do my coding job away while watching tv. They only had 25 of them. I was like 35 in line. I cannot believe that is all they got in. Then I went to get the PS2 Burnout 3 game (I needed two copies) and the Scooby Doo double pack for Gameboy. They did not get extra ones in even though they advertised them for $8. They had what was in the case only, which was one of each. Oh boy how stupid. Then I got a few things like jammie bottoms and a remote control hummer for my son and the lines were awful. They were handing out these VCR/DVD combos that were not the right ones so people were MAD.
drug list
Yeah, RXList is a good one. I also like www.drugdigest.com.
See the lonnnnggggg list:
$875.00 for mortage - $289.00 for health insurance - $508 for car payment - $68 for monthly car insurance - $220 for Electric/Gas - $155 for telephone - $39 for cell phone - $900 plus for CC payments - I guess that's enough, eh? We spend about $500 for groceries and another $300 for cigs/booze/wine - about $300.00 for going out to eat (we're home bodies). I sock away $337.00/month in my IRA and then skim 10 percent off the top of our earnings and throw in savings/CD - we spend a little extra on renting movies/books, etc.
I can't believe it costs SO MUCH to live these days!!
Anyone know where I can get a list of new drugs
nm
List of abbreviations
Yes, they are quite certain how wonderful that "dangerous abbreviations" list is, but don't kid yourself. There are quite a few physicians out there/facilities who don't care for the list and want abbreviations (and dictate them too) the former way; --- q.i.d., q.o.d., t.i.w., q. week, q. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, etc. Shall I go on? I know because I've transcribed from physicians dictating just this way. The docs want it THEIR WAY. Get over yourself.
call list
We began getting sales calls again, so my husband went back and resubmitted the information. We haven't gotten any since. It might be something you have to do annually. I don't know. It can't hurt to try though.
Are you on the Do Not Call LIst? sm
not saying this is the case, but a lot of times these calls are initiated by a computer. the computer calls, you answer, but there's no operator on the computer end to finish the call. I signed up for the do not call list when it first came up. The silence was wonderful. Then I moved - very irritating indeed! I'm back on it and back to silence!
What do you mean IT makes a list for you?
How do you get it to do this?
Schindler's List - now that was a .....nm
There is a whole list of these types
of things I got through my MT training classes. To make the ' over the e in debride, you would do Alt + 233 on your number pad. Let me know if it works. good luck.
Make a list
Make a list of what you love about him and what you hate and see which list is bigger. You haven't mentioned a single reason for staying with this person. Sometimes it's hard to make a break, but think ahead to days without stress and arguing.
No -- I have a list of over 1000 new ones
--that's just the new ones, not counting the 2nd and 3rd year residents. Too many new names.
