One thing about wading thru pages and pages looking for negatives, is...
it really does show that the seller is overall very good. Know what I mean? There will always, always, always be those customers who are impossible to please, especially on E-Bay. I've gotten almost all my negatives from leaving calm, but justifiable negatives when the buyer had stiffed me and not gone thru with the sale. We are called to leave these negatives as sellers to warn the community, but instantly we will get flamed with a retaliatory negative that is a total lie. So, now most sellers don't leave justified negatives anymore! That said, really, if you have to wade thru page after page to find even 1 negative, I would say you're safe bidding, as long as the feedback is current!
?? I see all as usual, pages ad pages. NM

web pages
No that I wanted links posted - would be nice - but just curious if other shave a site or myspeace page for their own benefit.
I appreciate your info
In 1985, when their BOS was only 85 pages....sm
Back in the 80s, AAMT used to care about all the MTs. Their BOS was only 85 pages long (I still have one of these BOS....a gold book, very tall and very skinny)....then the AAMT got big and it all went to their heads and their 2nd edition BOS is close to something like 600+ pages long. And now they support offshoring to India/Pakistan. At that point, they no longer cared about the USA MTs.
Later for the AAMT..........*L*.......MUCH later.
Yellow pages
Since my phone is listed under my business name I get a free listing and have gotten quite a few one-time only jobs, seminars, interviews, etc. that really pay well and not needing a 24 TAT and it has worked for me. Also no 1099's with then as it is a one time job. Last year got a 10 tape seminiar on pet therapy and it was almost $2,000 for the seminar done in our spare time over 2 weeks. Just my 2 cents worth.
1st one in the 1980s was 85 pages....sm
the first AAMT BOS was 85-90 pages long back in 1985....the one I have today, Second Edition bought 2 years ago....has I do believe 600 pages.....
so your question about what has changed cannot be answered in the post here......get yourself a copy ?? Can be ordered right from their site....aamt.org 
That is at the top of all pages - I forgot about it! Thanks. (NM)

and many are 3-4 pages long....sm
I loved them, back in the days - a lot of these reports are EXPERT WITNESS reports too...and perhaps the dictator has not even seen the patient....just reporting based on medical records/radiology, et cetera. Most of mine (back in the days) were 3-4 pages long, done for orthopaedists and/or chiropractors.
I understand, I think it is just here lately the pages are full of nothing but MQ and then
it turns into arguments and nasty remarks, and so forth.
It isnt really the talking about MQ, it is just the bickering going on about it.
I understand completely about wanting to discuss some things.
I dont really mind the MQ posts, but they are so large in number.
I hope things clear up. Maybe if you and other MQ employees that have a lot of time with them all take some "time off" at the same time, they could get the idea they need you guys.
I guess if I was with someone for that length of time, I would have the same feelings.
I really do wish you the best and I dont want you to think anyone has singled you out. It is the whole MQ thing.
I think we are all scared because MQ is a leading company and scared that they are ruining the whole MT business for us all.
We would all love to see MQ split up or downsize and not be such a big part of the industry. Then again we dont want to see people out of a job either.
Wow, almost 4 pages of the stuff, someone has been busy, nothing better

I knew I saw this a few pages ago and searched for you.
Here's a link
2nd edition over 600 pages long....sm
your client is out of touch........*lol*
What about the pages where you only type a few lines?
You're still making out better getting paid per page. I know I am.
Spoke too soon. Only working on some pages, not all. nm
s
my pages loading fast
no problem
Even on pages where no lewd content, often
x
For OTHER pages, scroll the other way or go to the View menu. SM
Look for Text Size. It won't fix the huge text on this page, though.
Pages are very slow to open for me tonight, some not at all. Anyone else? nm

Need to ask about docs saying "use my normal," too. Could be a few pages if an op! nm

Go through your local yellow pages and call
companies who advertise they offer health insurance. Call several companies as the premiums can vary widely, although the coverage will be the same. I did this and called 6 different companies and the premiums varied as much as $200.00/mo for the same exact insurance. Celtic was the company that had the best rate for us, but that was nearly 4 years ago. If you have no pre-existing conditions you can get a temporary insurance through Fortis for 6 months to a year depending on your state, provided that you have not been without coverage for greater than 45 (I think) days. You can also go on-line to einsurance.com and get an idea of rates, though I still suggest you call local agencies.
Do a search for 'happy with your job' or something like that. This was discussed a few pages b
s
Check out Jon Barron's health pages
Good info and will help you. Liver detox is for real and don't listen to anyone saying it isn't. Too many people helped by this. Jon Barron and Herbert Shelton can't be wrong. Don Colbert, M.D. also recommends this. Get Paul Bragg's book on fasting. Can't go wrong. Good luck to you.
Go through you local yellow pages and call
companies that offer health insurance and get a quote. Call several because the premiums can vary significantly. BCBS may have a low rate, but they are a pain in the rear to deal with and deny more claims than they pay.
Is the whole net slow or just these boards?? Taking pages
s
Search the archives box at the top of forum pages.

I do a minimal amount and the letter was about 2 pages long but mostly about ASR.

Try Yahoo yellow pages in the area the doctor

looking for free jeff gordon coloring pages
for my 4 year old son. does anybody know of any links? I've found several but none with coloring pages. thanks!
Headers and Footers can carry on to the rest of the pages.

How long are the pages or are you just doing sticky notes to be slapped
s
Is anyone else missing the complete list in the blue box? Pages seem to be smaller, too. nm

Some rates were posted a few pages back. Search the Google

Working in Word, and suddenly my screen splits into two pages, and I can't reverse it. HELP!
Does anyone know what I've done and what I can do to get it back to just one window? It is Word 2003 on a XP platform, if that helps any. Thanks.
Has anyone used Tessier paper back version 5 x 8 book with over 2000 pages - does that make it hard
nm
Oh, forgot to say all the phones ringing, overhead speaker blurting out pages, background talking
dictator's cell phones ringing, kids yelling from dictator being at home, machines in the ICU beeping off and on during the entire dictation, saws going from casts being removed nearby, and you can just imagine all the other noises such as nose blowing, sniffling, chomping on food while dictating, and on and on. EXSpeech doesn't like those noises, so the machine lets the MT"s transcribe those YUKKY reports all day long and all night long. Exspeech gets the good guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In reference to rad pay below...
I do both basic 4 and radiology for a small hospital and get paid by the minute of dictation for all. Radiology is a third to half of the dictation I do a day. I am thinking about going to just radiology. Many of you have stated a per page or per report rate, but what is the average per line rate for radiology. Is it different from the basic four dictation rate?
There are only two radiologists at this hospital, both fairly easy to do except one is slow and one is fast, so fast, if I got paid per report, I would make four times what I make now per minute of dictation. The slow one is going to retire soon and I will be stuck with the fast one and a new doctor which I probably will not have a problem with unless he is fast too and I would be making less money.
Thanks for the reference SM
Interesting site! Unfortunately, it states that "today the period always goes within the quotes" so I can't use it as a reference, only as a "the way it used to be."
thanks for the reference nm

THIS is the best reference (sm)
Forget all those books -- they're out of date a year before they're published.
This site automatically indexes biomedical acronyms from Medline.
Try it and tell me whether you aren't ready to throw away all your outdated, useless references!
Reference
I'm a rad MT and have been for about 6 years. The ONLY book I have on my desk is Stedman's Radiology Words. I use it all the time.
I have a reference for you...
Check out About.com and go to the Frugal Living site. There are the vinegar pages that detail all the varied uses. One newsletter talked about a family re-occupying and cleaning up after Katrina and how vinegar saved their home and made it habitable again.
HTH.

Both! I can't do without some of my reference (sm)
that only come in book form and use those religiously, but if I could only buy one form, definitely CD!! Keep in mind, I don't use Stedman's Medical Dictionary CD much but do like their others. I use Dorlands CD that I got cheap and prefer it over the Stedman's CD. Love, love, love the Quick Look Drug Reference CD.
reference
I like drugs.com. You can look by the first letter of the drug.
I use Way in reference.
nm
this is in reference to below...
extremely interesting reading...
from the link: http://www.medrecinst.com/News/News.php?article=1
While documents (transcribed and otherwise) will continue to be predominant in healthcare for some time to come, there is the beginning of a move away from story telling (sentences, paragraphs, reports), which results in documentation that requires searching for and pulling essential data, toward documenting the data directly, and then when documents are needed, using the data to populate consensus-designed templates. Though not initiated in response to this shift from a “documents then data” to a “data then documents” approach, the collaborative work being done by AHDI, AHIMA, and MTIA with HL7 to standardize the most common clinical documents12 will be especially helpful in facilitating the transformation of recorded data into standard formats for H&Ps, consultations, operative reports, etc
FUTURE REFERENCE
try www.fda.gov in the future, great help for all FDA approved meds
drug reference
I always use Drugs@FDA. I have it in my favorites: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/
You can look up drug names by using as few as three letters. I find it's quick and efficient, and it's free, and because it's the FDA it's the latest info on drugs.
The reference I handle THE MOST - sm
is my Medical Phrase Index - I happen to use the 4th edition and I mean I use it often. It really comes in handy for mush-mouthed docs and ESL docs.
Reference books
I use my pharmaceutical word book most often, then Stedman GI/GU & Stedman Equipment. I have a used 2004 Pharmaceutical word book (Drake & Drake) if you would like it.
Prescribing Reference nm
.
Reference book
We use Radiology Imaging Words & Phrases by Health Professions Institute as one of our references - this is a great book and covers all modalities.
