finish sentence - hard to reference with small writing and is there a CD available nm

I did finish the test
I did finish the test, over the weekend. Then Monday had my interview. Then Tuesday was told I got the job if I wanted it. The next day I called and said I'd take it. She said great! I'll have management get with you to arrange delivery of your equipment and everything. I took the job resigned from my job. The she called back 15 minutes later and said I couldn't have the position we discussed. I think its time to get in another line of work possibly. This one can really ruin your self esteem.
didn't finish
I was SO tired last night, tried staying up to watch the entire episode, but couldn't. I know Dr. Jones was in labor and her husband was in surgery from an MVA, but fell asleep after that. Can anybody tell me what happened??!!
To finish the above,,,,,"MONEY"

faux finish
Check out Tatouage on HSN.com or ebay - these are rub-on transfers of different scenes that can be painted over when the time comes. Go on very smooth and look like paint. They are very detailed and look so real, but can be wiped off when necessary without damage. They are great and take a lot less time than painting.
Finish the course. I think there will be a shortage sm
in the future of all medical personnel from MT to MD. Looking at the whole picture, those of us from the baby boomer age are pushing 50 and as families, many of us had 3 or fewer children or none at all. So, in my opinion, that leaves a much smaller volume medical personnel to care for the aging in the future. So, finish that course so you can type my reports when I need them.
Definitely finish with blanks. nm

No way will she finish that course in four months.
Especially with all those kids, she probably won't even finish it at all. It's obvious she's not going to listen to anything you say, so she'll have to learn the hard way.
(If you want to be mean, wait about four months and then ask her for a loan, since she's rolling in the dough!)
I can't think. I mean to finish: wish everyone there was alive and well and the tragedy was just

Want to finish my studies this year - sm
So I can make the kind of living I was used to with less headaches and be able to do some traveling with my work.
Also will be able to buy a bigger house!!!
Ok- so what year did they get the MD after their name? I was told NO they are not until they finish

Thanks for the info...how do you delete their access after they finish? nm

And we were supposed to finish school and work FT (sm)
after being offered a job making $25/hr. with full benefits and supposedly a future? And now we're supposed to go back to school at 50 y/o because of this govt? Are you with the illuminati or what?
This happens to be 2006. There are many, many people who did not finish school because they were offered jobs that paid quite well. Unfortunately, those jobs are now being given to illegals, etc., remember "the jobs that Americans won't do?"
I won't be going back to school, I made enough money. 
Do you relisten to your entire reports after you finish each one or how do you
edit your work before you send it in. Do you reread each one. Sometimes I think you can miss a word if you dont but not sure how to edit before sending without making minimum wage.
I leave a blank and finish the report. - (sm)
Sometimes (if I'm lucky), the doctor will say the same word again later in the report, only clearer.
Even if they don't say the word again, often once I've finished the whole report and am proofreading, if I listen to the word a while later, I can then understand it.
The post below that talks about reading the sentence out loud in that accent is also a good idea that sometimes works for me, too.
If the sentence is a fairly common one you might encounter in other similar reports (like in a physical exam, or a hernia operation, etc.), sometimes finding a few samples of those types of reports online can provide an answer, even if it's a different doctor.
If you have the capability to put that report on 'hold', and go on to the next one, that's also helpful, because you might get the same word again in the next report (especially if it's the same doctor), and you might be able to hear it, then. Even if you don't, setting it aside for a while and then going back to re-listen to it is often the most effective way to unravel some of the 'mystery-words'.
Wall painting faux finish techniques sm
Has anyone ever done their walls in a faux finish technique? I have a rather large room inhabited by my husband and the 2 dogs in the evening while I work, a big screen t.v., a beige fireplace, beige and hunter green wood look vinyl tile on the floor and hunter green furniture. One wall is paneled in a pecan paneling as it couldn't be done any other way. This room was an add on to the house. Right now the walls are a gray color but am looking to paint it something different, something that might not show the splotches caused by the dogs shaking their wet fur on occasion and fingerprints around the switches. I found the softly aged walls technique on the HGTV web site were you use 2 colors and a divided roller and divided pan. I kind of like the look and it looks fairly easy for me to do. Anyone have any ideas?
Encouragement for hard times - are you going to finish strong? sm
http://www.maniacworld.com/are-you-going-to-finish-strong.html This is a very encouraging video.
Read the report backwards from end to finish. Works great for me.
Did not finish above...need to find a noise canceling headset for a C-phone, TIA
TIA/
To finish...no one obviously feels like typing up, so the night people get the pool garbage. Grrrr.

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.
That's how I understood the sentence...
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.
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.
Here is the sentence which makes no sense
turned the bed sideways and introduced laryngoscope varuge varuge (sounds like) scope
Boy I cannot complete a sentence my posts look like VR
Numbers at beginning of sentence
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?"
It depends on the context of the sentence, really. SM
It depends on whether he's saying further bleeding will affect a hysterectomy, or whether Dr. _____ will effect a hysterectomy if there is further bleeding.
