podiatry

Does anyone know of any companies out there hiring for podiatry or orthopedics? Thanks

podiatry

Email Sharon at: Jobs@Transcriptionoutsourcing.com. She has just acquired a brand new ortho account. She is based in Milwaukee, I think, and hiring at-homers.

Podiatry

I am looking for a podiatry account. My daughter did podiatary for over five years and she is willing to help me with the terminology.

Also, is there a universal foot pedal that works with most medical transcription accounts? I have Spantel, but I am not sure if there are many accounts that use that program.

Thanks for any input and help.

Podiatry link

A good site for podiatry would be

Link for podiatry
Does anyone have a good link for podiatry terms?

I love ortho and podiatry. To each their own =) nm

Need a good podiatry reference

and I do not see one on the stedmans.com unless podiatry is rolled in with another specialty and I'm just missing it. Any recommendations?

Thanks bunches and happy MT week!

I agree. I hate podiatry because
it almost always means poor quality dictation.

Just started podiatry, need good reference book.
.

I am looking for samples of podiatry notes typed in SOAP format. sm
I have a potential client who would like to see some samples typed up and then let him know how much that report would cost. I charge by the line, and this is something that he is not familar with. Would appreciate about 3 or 4 reports, hopefully one of them being lengthy. TIA

You took a terminology course and some
No you are not worth 75,000 a year. Look up the salary for an MT honey, it's not $75,000 a year. You can think you are glorified and all that, but please get over yourself. You can be an MTSO and make that but you still have to sub out the work... Please calm down; we know you're an MT (wanna be doctor); I've come across those types before. Even x-ray techs think they are doctors. What a joke! If it walks like a duck, it's a duck, not a peacock!

you will also need a terminology book- sm
I did oncology for a while. I did not so much need a new drug book as a terminology book. Stedman's makes a paperback oncology book that was a real lifesaver. It included the drug names, including all the chemo drugs. There were many pages of chemo drugs, and all you had to do was look up "chemotherapy" instead of trying to figure out spelling of the drug name and everything was there. Good luck.

Radiology terminology
HI Terry -

I am a former rad tech, but that was before PET scans were even invented! I picked up the terms on my own, had some help from the company I worked for as we were all learning this 'new' terminology together. Google is a great help.

If you Google "radiology terminology" you will come up with quite a few helpful sites. Find the ones you can navigate easily through the bookmark them. You can copy and paste the terms you don't know into your own document and print out for easy reference.

In addition to PET and MR, don't forget nuclear medicine, ultrasound, CT, mammography and possibly interventional radiology procedures. If you are on a good platform with an up to date medical dictionary including radiology installed, that can be invaluable.

You only have to worry about problem words once, as you will put them in your word Expander program or macro right away and you'll build speed quickly by doing so.

Good luck!

Old terminology video

Hello! I was wondering if anyone remembered an old video that was used to train medical terminology. It was in cartoon style....and it taught the breakdown of terminology.....one I remember was gastr....gastruck...stomach.

I was just wondering if anyone was trained on this.

You don't need to go to school to learn terminology.
than any school could teach. No transcription school can teach you speed on a keyboard. If you have good English language usage and typing speed, start with a local physician who will allow you to type at home. Trust me. I know.

terminology test samples
I have been searching and searching and searching google, etc. to find a written terminology test to hire two inhouse transcriptionists that I will be interviewing this week. Everyone who comes in the door says they "know" transcription and they "have lots of experience" on their resume, but I find out they don't "know" transcription. I need a test that is pretty broad, that is written, and that is FREE. I can test them on digital physicians, but would really like you see how they handle a terminology test too. Been on internet for two hours now to no avail. Can someone help me? I am only interviewing for inhouse positions (2), so don't everyone flood me with requests for jobs....only inhouse.....only in Southern Indiana. Please? Thanks for your help!!!

Sorry, wrong terminology. This company
Thank you for the catch. :)

I took A&P/terminology course through my clinic 16 years ago

QAing isn't just about medical terminology. QAs have
years of experience in the MT industry & have to know the BOS inside and out, years of experience with all different accents, etc. This is no different than when nurses assume just because they know medical terminology that they can do our jobs. There's a lot more to it than that.

I learned the terminology in nursing school;
I learned the transcription end of things on the job. I was taught well by ladies with 20+ years of experience. They taught me how to do the job correctly and I now do my job well. You don't always have to go to college or take a course to learn how to this job and do it well.

What's a good source for very new medical terminology? sm
I'm wanting to avoid paying for a $95 subscription to something like The Latest Word, if possible. Is there a web site that posts new medical drugs and other terms that are so new they haven't hit the books yet?

thanks!

You could buy a medical terminology workbook or textbook. SM

Those usually have self-testing questions. Plus you could use the help of the textbook to form your own test. I know you said you wanted something free, but that sounds a little unprofessional to me and no offense, it sounds a little like laziness. You are hiring employees for your service and you want someone else to provide you with a ready made test for free because you can't be bothered with creating one on your own?

Coming here for help is one thing, but to look for a ready made test or even consider stealing a test from another service - I don't know, it just bothers me a little.

20-week med. terminology course at nite school - had a job
The rest was on-the-job training of the sink-or-swim variety.

Good psychiatrist terminology site
http://medicaltranscriptionwordhelp.googlepages.com/psychiatricterminology

It's an excellent guide

I am very real, thank you. I work quickly and efficiently. I know the terminology and when I come
across something I don't know I do my best to reference until I find it. If I absolutely cannot find it, I will send it to QA. The same goes with something I can't understand. I will listen several times and if I still can't understand it I send it on to QA for their help.

Addendum: As well as your fund of medical terminology knowledge.

I'm sorry that should den of lions or pack of wolves. Gotta get the terminology right!

I prefer Dorland's and consider it the "bible" of medical terminology. Others' mileage

Love cardiology, hate podiatry. Hate discharges, but

ur a nut - they use that term on SNL and....nm

programs for adults.........been watching SNL since 1975!!!! You do the math.

Gaydar....gaydar...gaydar!! It's all around us today!!! Key West to San Francisco.....and we all live somewhere in between. *rofl* Just because YOU think it's a juvenile term....doesn't mean we are all sheep and think like YOU do.

Here's a term for you to proofread:
Look that one up!

LOL

It will be long-term, because you are SM
learning to change a whole lifetime of the way you look at situations, but it should be very helpful for you. Agree, sometimes rehashing the old stuff (if you have accepted that it was what it was and it's not still happening) can be nonproductive in a way and very traumatic. I have done all types of therapy except analysis (and analysis is an even longer process) and the cognitive therapy was the most helpful for me. Good luck.

I see what you mean. I think the term "contract"
is what is being used wrong and I didn't clarify it well either in my post.

I doubt the OP signed a contract for the amount of pay. She probably signed a contract discussing engagement, duties, legal status, hours devoted to service, etc. In the actual MT contract, under Fee For Services, it lists that "For services rendered under this Agreement, Employee shall be entitled to payment as set forth on Exhibit A. The Company may modify such pay rate from time to time."

As well, every so-called "contract" I have ever had with MQ made the declaration that "...is a voluntary program that I may withdraw from at any time...I also understand that MQ may change or discontinue this at any time...".

The attorneys for MQ are not going to let them put out a contract that binds them to never changing your pay rate.

Ortho term for PIP fx. sm
Gotta be significant. Listen again. :)

(Sometimes we can try TOO hard, ya know? :))

hence the term sodomy

Is the term you are looking for troll?
LOL

I'm rather fond of that term!

ass-hat

4 thumbs up

A general term for someone who carries out actions with such stupidity that they might as well wear their ass as a hat.

Pete begins looking for his sunglasses, unknowing to the fact that they are on his head. He asks Ed where his glasses are. Ed takes them off his head saying, "You are such a f*cking ass-hat."

knowledge of med term a plus
knowledge of medical terminology is such a plus in the medical field. try applying to a hospital as a unit clerk or a receptionist in a doc office. it is good for the mind to get out there and see people again. maybe you will realize how much you have missed.

latin term
Thanks all. I'll defer to my higher-ups and see what they want. At least now I can validate it. S

medical term

Does anyone know what it is called "to feel with the hand"? Is there a medical term for that phrase? Thanks!

Med Term Question
Is carcinoma in situ hyphenated? Ex. carcinoma-in-situ or carcinoma in-situ. Any and all questions greatly appreciated.

Gal Friday was a term used in the 1950s
to describe a female office assistant who can perform a lot of tasks. It's a takeoff on Friday from Robinson Crusoe, and it's also a popular name for secretarial service businesses.

This is where the term "accident" comes into play - sm
I have looked it up for Dork Lady to save her some neuron-firing energy... she needs all the help she can get...
"ACCIDENT": An unexpected and undesirable event, especially one resulting in damage or harm: car accidents on icy roads.
An unforeseen incident.
Lack of intention.
Do you comprehend now Dork Lady? Reality - get a grip on it... save yourself, really...

Need help with ortho term for PIP fracture

I'm working on an ortho eval for a patient with a PIP fracture. Doctor has dictated an unfamiliar term (there's always that ONE WORD) for me. He dictates, "X-ray examination today shows impaction at the base of the middle phalanx with approximately 70% joint surface involvement." Here's the word I don't know (spelled phonetically--Sorry": "A syphiant(??) portion of the joint surface is translated dorsally."

If someone could point me in the right direction for finding this word, I would really appreciate it!

Ortho term for PIP fracture
I see "significant." :)

short term cure ...
OK thank you to the responders, I am going with a hot cup of coffee and extra sweetener .... knowing I am NOT ALONE helps, too! Thanks a bunch -- now down the hatch and onto SOME NEW THOUGHTS ..... !

Long-term BTS employee

I have worked for BTS for 2 years and enjoy it! It is difficult waiting for that first check, but you are being paid for the previous pay period, not the one you have just finished.

Overall, I think they are very considerate towards work load, time off, and I enjoy the people I work with on my accounts. People are always complaining on here about not having work, but we never seem to have a shortage.

I don't know about renting short term,
I think you could rent it and then return it, but you would have to ask. A friend of my rented-to-buy a Dell PC from them and learned a lesson. She paid approx. 200 every two weeks for almost a year. You will pay 3-4 times what the product is actually worth.

There are no long-term contracts
I've rented from them several times, both paying off items and giving some items back when I got something to replace it. You can expect to pay two to three times the price (if not more) for an item then if you just went and bought the item outright which to many sounds outrageous, but some of us don't have the money to fork over for more expensive items. I had a good experience with them each time I rented from them whether I kept something for the whole time or I turned the item back in.
