So, 1 1/2 hours of dictation should only take 3-4 hours to transcribe. sm
Subject: So, 1 1/2 hours of dictation should only take 3-4 hours to transcribe. sm
then what in the H**l am I doing wrong. I just did 1 1/2 hours of dictation with 1350 line count and it took me like 12 hours. I did 4 hours last night uninterrupted. the rest this morning with little interruptions from my child (dh was home) and a couple breaks and lunch.
I thought 1350 lines were supposed to be full time work. That is what I have been hearing from so many people.
Now I am confused and really feeling like a failure as an MT. Maybe this is not my profession!

Subject: New standard states:
And I quote: "Numerals, or figures, stand out from the surrounding text and serve a functional purpose in medical reports, where they should be used almost exclusively as opposed to spelled-out numbers.
Exceptions: Judgment and discretion are need when deciding but adjacent numbers require one to be spelled out to avoid confusion.
Use a comma to separate adjacent unrelated numerals if neither can be readily expressed in words and the sentence cannot be readily reworded.
Use numerals for fractions.
Spell out numbers that begin a sentence.
Zero is always spelled out when it stands alone.
Spell out numbers used as pronouns.
That should get you started!

Subject: 0618 hours
Military time is based on a 24-hour clock. "06" is 6 a.m. 6 p.m would be 1800 hours. You just add or subtract 12 to the time on the clock after noon to get the p.m. times.
I hope this clarifies. If you have any other questions, plase feel free to ask and I'll try to explain better.
