It usually takes me twice the time to transcribe the work. If the doc is easy and you can go right from one template/document to the next, it should only take you like 4 hours at the most. 10-12 hours is an awful long time. What kind of interruptions are you getting.

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!

i've never really looked it up, but the docs say it so often i give it to them. my guess is that edema would create a gas in the soft tissues. or, they say something thing interosseous gas --- just my guess, but it's frequently dictated on my radiology reports.

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.
