Are you wanting someone to tell you

what the blank is?    Accents are what we have to deal with these days, either you learn them or you get replaced.   Do the best you can and leave blanks.  When you get QA back listen to the reports and see if you can hear what you left blank.

I go all the way through a report and leave blanks and then go back and relisten and usually I am able to get them.  Sometimes experience helps too because you know what the blank should be.

Hi all...I am here seeking information/advice on training to be an MT. I currently have an AAS in Radiology and have been a registered technologist in both Radiography and CT [RT(R)(CT)(ARRT)] for 5 1/2 years now, as well as being registry-eligible in Mammography. I worked in a very busy hospital radiology department and have an extensive working knowledge of all modalities, including MR, Sono, and Nuc Med, as well as PACS, CR/DR, Meditech, Dictophone, and Teleradiography. Last year, I had to stop working in the clinical setting because of a back injury, and that time my husband encouraged me to stay at home with the children. I however am going mad without working, and miss being in the radiology/medical field. Because my health will no longer permit me to work in the clinical setting, I have been looking into the medical transcription field with hopes that I could do radiology transcription. I feel that I have a broad enough understanding of medical terminology, especially in radiology, to begin a training program. I also have experience working with foreign radiologists, our chief radiologist was Phillepeno and was very hard to understand. Does this sound like a feasible opportunity for me? I am definitely not looking for a get rich quick deal and realize that it will take lots of hard work, dedication, and patience. I would just like to know that it would be worth the cost of the program and the time away from my family. I am looking into the online program through Brighton College.  

HI,

I would like to be a medical transcriptionist.  I'm thinking about enrolling in an online course.  HOwever, the reason I want to be a Transcriptionist is that I want to be able to work from overseas, particularly in the PHilippines. 

Does anyone know if companies would allow a person to work from overseas or in a third world country?

Does the particular country make a difference?
