I think the Lia Sophia is the name of the company..I just checked out their website..nice things! n

I hate to admit this, but the one good thing I learned Focus Infomatics
was the Escription platform. Trust me, that is the only good to come of it. I think even if you get a few months under your belt, you'd be better off for it.
Anyone know of a good website
that is informative about how to start an independent digital transcription business. Has anyone here written or thought about writing a book? I guess I am looking for information about how to go from being a great transcriptionist to knowing more about the actual technology involved in the business. Or is it just a learn as you go type of thing.
Here's a good website
I always go for the standard Dictaphone ones ($18.99).
I hope this helps!

Any MTSO find a good place for their own website?
I recently received a quote for a local web design company, and it was close to $1,000! I don't have that kind of money. I would just like somewhere to tell a little bit about myself and the services I offer to Physicians.
Thanks!
Two good things
Quitting the smokes and exercising. You'll be a new woman!
Other good things to put in sm
I like to put in little cubes of cheese instead of shredded cheese. And I also add pepperoni and/or salami pieces (slices that have been quartered). Some people add cucumber, but I don't really like it in my pasta salad.
Other good things to add
My roommate and I made the Salad Supreme recipie but instead of Italian dressing we used ranch and I browned some frozen meatballs and cut those in half along with the green pepers and tomatoes and it turned out great!!!!
All Good Things
Wow! I have not thought about that way to transcribe in years. THOSE were the DAYS we got REAL LINE COUNTS!You are so lucky to find someone who still uses it. They are showing you that you are worth the money they pay you (unlike the platforms today).
A good website to search for medical terms, equipment, and drugs.
A good site for word help.
You are welcome. Good things are just around the corner.
I have been where you are now. It is not fun, it is very upsetting and frustrating, but things will come your way soon. There are many accounts out there, you just need to find the right ones. All you need is one, and the rest will come by "word of mouth".
My advice is to just call and ask if they made a decision and if it is not you, then just thank them for their time and ask if it is okay if you check back with them periodically to see how things are going.
Good luck to you.
You mention some things you are not good at doing, but
try to think of something you may be good at. Not everyone on the outside is cruel and backstabbing. It sounds like you need to get out more and mingle. It is not healthy to spend hours in front of your computer and not interact with others except online. Do you have friends you socialize with? Sounds like the MT work at home is not going well for you. Don't give up on yourself. I hear your pain. Been there myself. It may be time for a new beginning. You are never too old for anything. Change your thoughts, and you will change your life.
It's a very nice website you're having here. Increase Girl is very good Tournament: http://www
Just letting you know - your site is fantastic! Compute Compute Bet - that is all that Slot is capable of , Curious, Profound, Astonishing nothing comparative to Red Mistery can Destroy TV , Coolblooded, Good, Standard nothing comparative to Small Astonishing is feature of Central Chair
Have always heard good things about X-Press
and have heard they pay really well
YAY!!! YAY!!! YAY!!! Good things happen to those who have the patience (I am not one of them)!!!

Good reasons to get more things worked out -
and in writing before accepting the job offer. I would work one weekend a month for average pay, two if the weekend pay was better. But not every weekend. Same goes for Friday nights. I prefer at-home to in-house environment-wise, but at-home pay is the pits, unless you're willing to work 16-hour days, 7 days a week, which is even worse than what you're doing now. I can't retire, either, even under the best of circumstances. But right now I'm having trouble just eating. I don't get paid 'til Friday, and my fridge has nothing in it except ice cubes.
Never learned it? Hah! I learned it and still didn't like it.
If it is Accustat Carolinas..Yes that's true..among the other not so good things.

Good things take time. (this is addressed to OP, BTW) My first 15 years or sm
so of MT was without the benefit of using an expander. When Expanders became the norm, I was reluctant to try, thinking that it would be more cumbersome than by not using it at all. Was I surprised and pleased I had ventured into the Expander world.
Since you're at home you can add entries on your free time, even if you do 5 or 10 at a time, when there is no pressure on you. Start out with expanders for "the patient," "-year-old," the names of your doctors, anything that is repetitious. You will be surprised how much time this will save you. My initial expander, PRD, actually calculated saved Keystrokes and productivity. Back then I was saving 30%!
The expander is especially helpful for those crazy terms that are hyphenated or have camel caps, those that I always had to look up to check myself. Create your brief form by just using straight lowercase, for instance, duoneb for Duo-Neb (or d-n).
Speed will come, don't worry. Good luck to you!
(Posted in the wrong place--I always do that!) This is in response to OP.
going on my 17th year of it and feeling good about things sm
still loving it just as much. I work for a hospital and they just sent us home to type so everything is new again, new system, new challenges. I need to be challenged or I become bored, so enjoy things at the moment.
What I think is so sad is that people may give up good jobs to go there to find out these things all
to late. The newbies can learn and use MQ and move on which they do but of course the clients suffer then with all the people learning on them but this is what MQ causes and when they lose clients with poor quality or people that just throw out work then they caused their own problems. You cant keep good MTs with no work I dont care what incentives you offer because they mean nothing with no work ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I wish people would understand that when MQ hires them.
I heard a lot of good things about them and am looking to purchase a laptop, so your information
is very helpful to me. Thank you!
Bad things? what bad things? people's being petty and small?

Learned something
I never thought that many peole would want a transcript of a show especially when it was availabe of DVD or tape. That is why I did not think it would pay that well. But I learned something and always glad to do so. The last seminar that I type did not involve medical at all but was building a chip for a computer and all oriental speakers and so when I think my docs are bad, I remember that. Lots of blanks needless to say.
Have a good day and thanks for the compliment but all I know is common sense and practical sense through years of doing this.
I learned that way too, but now

has anyone learned that their QA
person is using an outdated BOS ? I can hardly believe anyone taking their position seriously would do this. Am I wrong to be amazed and disappointed?
I know what you mean...you'd think I would have learned
my lesson in season 2. I would love a Taylor/Elliott finale, but I really don't know what to expect. You'd think Taylor has a big enough fan base to put him through, but after last week, I feel like anything can happen.
yes that's how I learned
how else to learn specialties?
What I have learned from VR is
that it does take an experienced and alert MT to recognize when a mistake has been made by VR. If the MT is editing too quickly or too careless when a mistake has been made by VR, and the incorrect term does sound close to what the doctor is dictating, the MT may not realize there is a mistake in the report that needs editing. This could be very dangerous if the doctors do not proofreading their reports carefully after they are returned to the system as complete.
Unless the VR technology improves substantially from where it stands now, I believe there will be gross errors not caught, which may lead to poor patient care and possible litigation.
I have been a MT since 1981 and have witnessed a lot of changes in this field. VR may appear to be an asset for medical personnel, but it may prove to be a detriment for patients. Sorry to come across as negative, just my opinion.
what I learned...
one can put 30.000-40.000.
Only if it is dictated 'between' 30.000 to
40.000, then write 'to';
or from 30.000 to 40.000.
Also AAMT BOS 2nd edition
Have learned
Have learned from talking with IRS I can become a Sole Proprietor and get an EIN. Nothing changes as far as filing and paying taxes, same as an IC. Sorry if this posts twice.
I took this course too. Learned how to
build my own computers. Never pursued a career in it but am planning on doing so if MTs goes downhill completely.
Does your course include networking too?
I learned that
disc was for the body and disk is for computers. I go by whatever the account spec says.
41 YO here, learned on the job 22 years ago(sm)
and still love MT. I do acute care, clinic, whatever they throw at me. Started out in a hospital in 1983 and went home/nationals in 1996. Been working at home ever since and have no desire to go back in-house.
I have learned something!! I never knew this was possible!
I've always thought liquids damaged/ruined keyboards, but I guess I was wrong. What a good idea you all have!!
learned (not leared)
sorry
My beagle has learned
not to lay near the foot pedal, but just to the side of it. It's the darn cat that won't stay off my keyboard. He'll even lay on it while I'm typing, and knows I'm going to boot him off! I think he likes the attention when the kids are at school and DH is gone to work.
Does anybody out there sew regularly. I have never learned
how to sew and I want to learn. I am going to take some classes here at a local craft store, but my question is that I want to buy a nice sewing machine, not top of the line but not a cheapy either. I can always upgrade later if I need too. Does anybody have any recommendations on a nice, easy to use sewing machine that doesn't have so much crap on it that I would be totally confused. 
From what I've learned from...
doing psych reports, people rarely have MPD unless they've been abused horribly. First off, I wouldn't blame this poor child. Her life has obviously been unstable and erratic, no thanks to her parents. I type it time and time again.... Kids are brought in and labeled with all sorts of conditions, ADHD, oppositional defiance disorder, OCD, you name it. And WITHOUT FAIL when the doctor gets down to the social history, the child comes from some sort of broken erratic unstable home. The parents don't create a nurturing environment for their child, parade boyfriends and girlfriends in and out of their lives, and then the poor child is labeled with a dozen diagnoses. Sounds to me like this poor child has been abused, which isn't very far fetched if a mother is recycling boyfriends. I'd contact a local psychiatrist and start from there. I wouldn't take one person's word that the child wasn't abused. Even if she is lying, she's doing it for some reason.
I learned it exactly the opposite...
back in 1980 I learned that disc was for the spine and disk was for anything ophthalmological ......
Yep, learned that the hard way, but then when I
told them I was looking things changed and now I'm down from about 95% ESL to about 60% and for the most part they aren't horrible.
Learned the hard way
I am one of those editors who can't just let a blank go unless I have spent at least 10 minutes trying to research it. Of course, if the dictation is just not clear, then a blank is the way to go. I found at my last job, though, that I was spending too much time on correcting grammar - quite a stickler for that - but the company wanted a much quicker turnaround, even if the report looked like it was typed by a third grader (my opinion) lol.
figured it out and learned something new,....
thanks everyone...this has taken me forever to just get one thing done...thanks.
