In Reply to: generic reply--guess I struck some nerves - appalled
The only thing this one particular person who keeps jumping on people the minute they post anything at all seems to understand is that she has been in this business for *all of her adult life*, which she seems to feel gives her the right and necessity to berate others for anything she feels she wants to. It is a through and through superiority complex and I guess it makes her feel good to put other people down simply for asking a question. Once she attacks someone with her spiteful comments, suddenly all her little cronie followers think that gives them the right to berate and belittle someone too. What she does not understand is that seniority does not mean superiority and as far as I am concerned, 30+ years or not, she has an awful lot to learn about how to treat others. and she probably is not that good a Transcriptionist either because she is always on this board looking to start a fight or to make someone else feel bad. I know it is hard, but try to ignore her posts. it is her problem, not yours.

New generic drugs.
New generic name for viagra......................micoxafloppin. Next.. please add.
generic drugs
I type drugs that are capped or have capital letters anywhere in them into autocorrect. Then I just type the drug just like it is generic, then autocorrect "corrects" it.
It's not in order of just generic???
The drug information is under the generic of the medication. It's in order of brand as well but under brand it says see (generic name) on page --- for the information on it. I love this book and use it constantly.
I seriously doubt the generic
be any sort of proficient with transcription. Heck, the medical VR programs can't even get it right and they are SUPPOSED to bed trained to the dictators voice. Good luck if you're looking for a quick way - I don't think you've found it with Word speech recognition.
Generic vs Brand drugs
I have these in my Shorthand program and they are typed correctly - upper or lower case. No matter how I type them they wind up correct. If the word is at the beginning of a sentence, Shorthand capitalizes it there, which would be correct.
i buy almost all generic, make a list when i
go shopping and don't buy things that aren't on it (unless it's a necessity like t.p. or toothpaste.) plan ahead on meals and buy in bulk and freeze. it's just me and my 3 yo so we can get 2 almost 3 meals from one, that is if you can handle that much left overs. keep curtains closed in the rooms that get direct sun to keep them cooler-opposite in the winter. i don't buy extra 'goodies' like candy/chips/snacks. i'm really regretting that one today-i need a chocolat fix right now :)
only buy things on sale, if you must buy 'new' clothes wait until the end of the season and by then it's usually 60-70% off. buy gifts all year round when things go on sale, the person you're getting it for will never know plus if something comes up and you need something last minute, you've got it! the other things that i would consider a luxury i wait and use them as gift ideas for my family to get for myself and my son.
KCl is the generic, Kay Ciel name brand
Offsite MTs have no way of knowing if physcian is using name brand or not unless he specifies. In most cases a service will defer to the generic to be as accurate as possible.
Need suggestions, generic vs proprietary drugs
It seems there are so many anymore that i have trouble remembering not to capitalize -- how do the rest of you remember?
I am using docuscribe and the quick correct feature does not seem to work for converting back to lower case. Any suggestions?
Is there any easy way to remember which drugs are generic and do not get capitalized. We get that
deducted in our monthly randoms from Amherst if we forget a capital letter.
"wav" pedal is a generic term. Some software is
proprietary and requires a specific "wav" pedal. Download ExpressScribe for free (google for URL). You can open one of your completed files using ExpressScribe and if it plays okay then your pedal will work, unless of course you get a job that may use a proprietary software and then it may or may not work.
I bought mine at Staples, generic brand for 9.99.

generic reply--guess I struck some nerves
I don't know how long you MTs have been in the business who have replied negatively to my posts, but I started at a hospital for an hourly wage, which seems to have fallen by the wayside. At any rate, did they switch me out to different hospitals while I was workking there? NO, they did not. And, if they had, it wouldn't have mattered because I was paid hourly and it DIDN'T COST ME MONEY to do so.
We are paid BY PRODUCTION, and anything they do that affects MY PRODUCTION affects MY INCOME. Don't you get that? It doesn't hurt them to do this, it affects OUR paychecks.
I'm beginning to understand that it is possibly some of your attitudes--and probably lack of other choices, I know--that has caused this downfall in the MT field.
why let him call you lazy more than once? also, sit him down and make him transcribe a generic note.

Is there an easy way to enter generic drugs and brands into your spellchecker ? ( a fast way)
You can cross-reference generic and brand names and get dosage info at...SM
RXList. I guess buying a drug book every other year wouldn't be a bad idea. When I was a newbie, I used to think I had to buy a new drug book every year until I discovered the wealth of info on the internet and I just write new terms in my books. I know some people like to keep their books pristine, but I make notes in mine all of the time.
save a generic dictation, sit the person at your desk and tell them to type what they hear

A wav pedal is just a generic term for a pedal used to
play voice files you have on your computer. You can get them on the equipment board here, e-bay, or you can Google and get lots of other places. Some pedals are fairly generic and can play multiple "wav" types, but some only work with certain software. You can have a serial port connection, a game port connection, or a USB connection.
If you do not already have a job that you need a pedal for I'd suggest waiting because you don't know which kind you will use. If you need it for testing you can download ExpressScribe for free and use the function keys to test.
