use callus when it's connected to another word i.e. "callus formation". Use callous when it's alone i.e. "the foot has a callous". Hope this helps.

I can't remember how long it took me to be able to type at a 1:2 ratio since I have been doing this for about 15 years. However, I do know that it took me longer than 3 to 4 months, especially since I was looking everything up in reference books to double check my spelling as I didn't go to school for medical transcription. Maybe someone else has a better idea. I DO remember being frustrated that it was taking me so long to finish a tape (back when I did tapes, LOL!).

when new at it. You new MTs are at a disadvantage for not having someone physically standing over your shoulders mentoring you. We did back in the old days, even if we had to grab a doc for help. Help was always there.

Help is now HERE! Any newbie requesting my help is going to get the best advice I can give. If MT Stars doesn't like this help I'm offering, I'm sure they will let me know, and maybe I can start a blog or something somewhere else.

"Trauma hospital?" Where'd that come from, anyway? Sigh.
