Thanks,
MTStars Support Team.
With our current administration, just about anywhere
Except the middle east, of course. We shoulda' nuked it all off the map on 9/12/01.
It's how incredibly arrogant this administration is!
How can you trust anything that comes from anyone in this adminstration's mouth? Starting at the very top!! I can NOT wait until his dictatorship is over. I am really praying that the Democrats get back in office. I can not stand the Bush administration's air of superiority. I don't appreciate being made to look foolish on the world stage. Bush and his cronies are an embarrassment to this country. I can not wait until their regime ends!!

This was at the top of all the threads. It might help you.
The thread is titled "Scoping Training Available". It is the first item on the first page of this board.
A new scopist training program is being made available through two scopists in the industry.

I saw the MT-vs-Hospital Administration in "Apprentice" tonight ... (sm)
When The Donald was firing this week's person from the losing team, I was laughing because I could see my hospital in them all. The male assistant to The Donald was our chief hospital administrator. Pure evil. The blonde gal was our head of human resources. The Donald was the bull-headed Chief-of-_________ (fill in the medical specialty of your choice!) And the poor guys with their heads on the chopping block who were receiving nothing but belittling & criticism, even after a truly valiant effort to do the best job possible, were the MTs.
I was 20 when I started but that was during the Woodrow Wilson administration.
geez
Absolutely illegal....my hubby is in administration...
He said you should report this to the medical records supervisor. If she is aware of this and is "okay" with it, then she is playing with fire and you should report this immediately to the administrator of the hospital. Only a doctor or someone he has approved to dictate for him (RN, PA-C, etc.) can legally do this. This is to also protect yourself, so there will be no question that you are not involved in this in any way.
Our current administration has made this country a

Last time I was paid this little was during the Reagan administration.
Sigh.
Yes, there are past threads, but
I think it's important to start this subject periodically so that more than just the 50 or 100 MTs who saw the last one can get the information. There are a lot of newbies who don't know what's going on & I think it's important to let them know; besides which, how about a long-time MT who's isolated because of virtual work & virtual colleagues & who maybe has only recently spent any time at all on a board because she's too busy living paycheck to paycheck to pay any attention?
I think in the real world they call this "grassroots politics," & shame on you for dissing it. People find out when they find out. If you don't like it, change channels or start your own board where no one is allowed to talk about that rapacious organization, AHDI.
guess I'm not seeing those threads
Because I really haven't seen what I'd call nastiness in this part of the forum. (Now the Political section is a different story!)
The closest thing I've honestly seen to what I'd call a not so nice post was by someone who didn't seem to like the fact that not everybody agreed with her.
But I don't read every single thread so maybe I've just overlooked any other nastiness that might be posted here.
In reading your threads, it appears like they sm
belong somewhere else as you don't have a grip on what the poster is saying. So, get a grip, eh?
Do you know how to actually reply rather than start new threads? lol

Very interesting threads here lately. Good to
x
There are a couple of different threads about this on the New MT board.

Babies looking for attention.They have the technology of the Woodroow Wilson administration.
They'll get some kind of concession and go back and try to think of another way to get money out of us. Happens all the time.
New icon shows you what post your on. On new threads you will see a hand
with italicized print on the post you have viewed. This feature is available on all new threads, but may not appear on old posts. We hope this new feature is helpful to you. 
These threads always make me feel inadequate... I'm not about to post...
 "Uh, I dunno.. I'l sling the freezer open at 6 oclock and toss some fish sticks and french fries on a cookie sheet and slice up some fruit."
Seems like everybody is so gourmet....
Again, regarding Keystrokes, I only removed threads because they got absolutely out of control.
Further, at the beginning of the year and after sponsors memberships have run out, we will no longer be offering sponsorships. We do not want to give the impression that any sponsor has any effect on MTStars just because they are a sponsor. They do not.
If you have further questions, feel free to email me. I am open for discussion anytime.

If you do a search for VBC or visible black character there should be some old threads.
I know that some platforms rolled over to this (without warning in some cases). IMO, if they pay by VBC then the line rate should increase accordingly,or pay should be set based on a lower count character line like the companies that already base pay on a 55-character line.
In some cases MTSOs have changed the billing parameters but not the production/pay parameters.

Solution........sm
I live in Florida and have Adelphia cable which is lightening fast, WHEN it's working. I was losing connection while working at least two or three times a month, which you obviously know, can be a nightmare, especially when it's down for hours at a time. I have the solution. I got BellSouth Fast Access DSL as a backup. It works through my telephone line. It costs me about $50 a month, but it is soooo worth it. Now when my cable goes down, I just swith over to DSL and I'm back to work in a snap ! 
I have the solution..
Lets all move to India and only work for companies THERE that offshore!!! 
a solution
There is probably a quicker way, but here is how I do it:
1. Go to google.com, highlight, right click and copy everything in the address bar. Minimize explorer.
2. Right click on desktop and select new > shortcut. A window will open. Paste (control-V)the Google info in the "location of the item" field, click next, name it, click on finish.
3. You will then have a new icon on your desktop which is clickable to google. Drag that icon down onto the toolbar next to the start button.
There is a solution that they don't tell you about. SBC/ATT have
a business plan that is called Complete Business Solution that is unlimited local, local toll and long distance. It is $59.99 in my area for this and they switched my residential line to a business line for $12. This is less than I was paying for my residential line and there is no limit on the unlimited calls, length, etc as long as you are not a telemarketing center. My boss (who has been slammed here too often for me to say her name without causing flames) researched this and let me know because I got the .19 per minute letter from SBC. No problems since and it was over a year ago!
Possible solution?
Okay, ethics is questionable here, but at times you need to fight fire with fire. At one MTSO all of the formats were templated. They charged the client, but didn't pay us. So...Many MTs would delete the template as soon as it popped in and put in a matching one of their own. They got the lines, the client got the template, and no one was ever the wiser (so far).
Would something like that work for you? It might be dodgy, but if they are going to play this game you could conceivably play right back. I know I'm going to get flamed, but MTSOs are looking for every opportunity to take food out of the mouths of our children, and at some point we need to say NO.
Got a solution...Buy a new/used one from me;) s/m
I have a couple of extras I'm getting ready to list on Ebay. Would you like to make me an offer? Just send me an email. Thanks.
Here's one solution
Send all the ESL dictations over there! It seems really wrong to me that I'm sitting here typing ESL for residents with heavy Indian accents and they're sitting over there typing american doctors, and we're all struggling to understand! Seems like everyone would be happier if those docs could dictate in their native language, those overseas MTs could type it in that same language, and then they could run it through translation software to come up with a report in English. I know a lot of american patients don't wamt a doctor treat them that they can barely understand, and I often wonder why so many ESL folks want to practice here, dictate here and have americans type the dictation! Why don't they sent THAT work oversease, and quit driving the rest of us nuts!
My solution
Recently I changed my working schedule in that I work three-hour stretches. It has definitely made a difference in my productivity, as well as decreasing the total time per day I spend transcribing (I'm an IC). This works for me, although the downside is that for anyone, three hours without a break is a long time to transcribe. I would recommend working up to what would be the longest time you could tolerate.
Somewhat of a Solution
Actually, I was able to copy the whole contents of the document and paste it into a new document, and the marks disappeared. Just in case anyone was curious.
Here is a solution.
If you have access to the folder containing those files. Right click on that folder, go to properties ...
and set it Owner can 'read', 'write' and 'execute'. In Unix/FTP terms it's known as chmod 777 permission. Try googling chmod 777.
BTW, which FTP client you are using? CuteFTP? or WS_FTP?. Sometime, you need to set options within the FTP client program as well.
no solution here yet either
I have been at this for over 7 years now and still have not found a solution to this problem. My situation is not nearly as bad as yours, but I have always said that my husband's mouth was connected to my pedal. I press play and he starts talking LOL
Me too and solution
I use Escription as well and I think you're referring to something that reads ProcMon or something? Well I disabled the darn thing and nobody said anything. Didn't realize it was a monitoring tool but IMO unless you are going to provide me with a computer then you have no business montioring me especially without telling me.
So here are some instructions. Go to Control Panel. Click on Administrative Tools. Click on Services. Find EditScript Process Monitor (assuming this is what the process is you have that I have). Double click on it. Under the General tab there is a drop down menu that says Startup type. Choose Disabled. Click Apply then OK.
Make sure this is the same exact thing you are seeing. NEVER change any process that you do not know what it is. This is something that is best left to someone in the IT field. It so happens my husband was a Senior Network Engineer (he's since moved on to development) and these instructions come from him. But be very careful as you could turn off something important!
RIGHT HERE is the solution sm
We could mount a campaign to make outsourcing of medical transcription illegal, or at the very least tax the crap out of it until it is not practical. Write your representatives, write to the political talk shows, write to Oprah, write to news magazine programs, write the New York Post. Get on the phone and talk to people who can make a difference!!!!
The end result? There are NOT enough highly qualified MTs to do the work that needs to be done. So, supply and demand will work FOR us. Benefits and wages will have to go up so that companies can attract the best, most productive MTs and keep them. Gone will be days when we work for such a pittance. We will be in demand.
Well, for both of you I have a solution
that is going to sound reeaally strange. I got the suggestion from my chiropractor when I complained of sore lower back and sore hiney. He suggested that I buy one of those large (about 24" round) inflatable pilates exercise balls and sit on that. He had one in his physical therapy department and I gave it a test sit. Felt pretty good.
STOP LAUGHING, I KNOW HOW WEIRD THIS IDEA SOUNDS and the visual image is a scream. Yes, yes, I know. You think that would be a totally unworkable situation and so did I. But I was ready to try just about anything and this $20 idea seemed affordable, so I went for it. The theory is that you learn to hold yourself straight by strengthening your core muscles instead of leaning against a chair back. And the seat is very yielding under your butt. I initially had a problem with my ball/chair rolling away every time I stood, but I solved that by getting a giant heavy plastic flower pot saucer to set the ball in. Voila! Looked weird, worked well.
Takes some getting used to, but I eventually did. My back was more tired than ever for about a week, but my bum was in heaven. Then I got the hang of it and it was great. I sort of got away from the system when I broke my arm and the cast was throwing my balance way off so that I had trouble with my..uh... mount and dismount. After tipping over a couple of times, I deflated the ball and stored it, rolled in a regular chair so I could one-handed hunt and peck for e-mails and internet.
Been back transcribing for over a year, but never got back 'on the ball.' Now that I mention it, though, I think I'll reinflate that sucker and try it again. I SAID QUIT LAUGHING, BOTH OF YOU!
best solution to this
Better Business Bureau, file complaint under misleading advertising. Bring the complaint here and ask everyone who views it to make a complaint to the BBB. It would shut them down. I filed one on Transcription for Dummies website www.transcriptionfor dummies.com!
no solution for me,
other than positioning in the shade, with sun not shining on the screen. Its so nice to be out there working in the fresh air, but much less convenient for me (even with the minimal items packed along, and the various concerns, animals knocking something over, dust, wind, bugs...)
THE PERFECT SOLUTION....sm
I interviewed for a company a while back whose method for discouraging cherry picking was to dock their paycheck by $5.00 for every report they cherry picked ! ha.. love it !!
Same problem - no solution yet
I just have the same problem. I hope i can resolve it soon. I am afraid that some new worm has come, or some security fix from MS has coused it...
OKay, we've got that much. Now what is your solution?

Needing a solution!
Does anyone know how to eliminate static on the AM radio created by the treadmill running. This is quite annoying and with my New Year's resolution (lose some weight!), I can't be on the treadmill until hubby leaves for work. He's an avid listener to the radio in the morning! Don't want to start the day of bad! 
Easy solution for you...
It is an OPEN forum. People will complain. They will also joke, take polls, discuss physicians, etc.... If it pains you, your solution is an easy one...stay away...we won't miss you one bit, I promise. Some of us come here to vent and for support....not to be further put down...like we need that in our line of work....give it up, okay? Just stay away!
Simple solution
Keep the door closed and the cat out! Cats CAN indeed be trained that certain areas are off limits, but nothing works better than a keeping the cat out of the room. Problem solved, yes?
Possible Solution For Kitty
I have a female cat who does the same thing. She tries to use her box and never attempts to do her business anywhere else in the house. She just has a little problem determining her positioning in the box. I have a big roll of 33-gallon plastic garbage bags and use these under the box. If Miss Kitty misses and pees over the edge, I just remove the plastic garbage bag and dispose of it and put a new one down. These cats are trying to do the right thing, but they just have a little trouble...LOL. Also, I agree that a bigger, uncovered box might be a good idea for your big boy. Good luck!
The solution is simple
Report that MT to your boss. If the MT continues then report to your boss again along with your boss's boss. Keep climbing the chain of command until SOMEONE does something about this MT.
No helpful solution
Sorry, I don't have any answer for this, but I'm having the same issues myself. I'm trying to set up a C-phone with internet phone connection to be able to call and access that dictation (as you have exactly described). We researched any other way to download the info, to no avail. If you've found a way to do this, please let me know. My C-phone won't dial out without getting recordings. Still trying to work the bugs out.
Melda in Texas
Personally I think the best solution
would be to work in house (hospital or office) like in the old days. Then the lead MT could call a problem dictator in and play his dictation back for him and respectfully suggest ways to improve, as a way to improve TAT and lower costs of transcription.
Have Sort of a Solution
This has always been an issue with these platforms, I can't work unless I can use Smartype and I do use the Scribe platform.
After months of trial and error here's my workaround solution: First open a blank page in Word and open Smartype. In the settings you have to set up where the line/list are going to be visible in the document. If I'm going to type directly into the Scribe platform I make the SMARTLINE checked as FLOAT. Then I go back and UNCHECK the SMARTLIST so it will/will not. You can experiment with this to your liking but I found the float works best. Then close the settings and close Smartype.
Now here's the most important thing: With Word open right-click in the Word tool bar to open the "options" window. With that open (you don't do anything with it, it just enables you to move things around the toolbars) I simply use the mouse to drag down the STEDMANS button from where it is seen in the very top row of the tool bar and pull it down to a lower level bar (to a place you know you will see it when you open Scribe.) (You will not lose your original Stedman's button if you do this, and you can do it over and over again if Smartype freezes in Scribe.) Then when you open the Scribe platform you will see the Stedmans button you dragged down. From there you can "enable" Smartype. That's about it. You should see your LINE/LIST appear and you should be all set. I also made a ton of shortcuts on the toolbars in Word that will work in the platform too. I have macros buttons that replace having access to say the format menu for paragraphs, fonts, etc. Just know though that when you open Smartype in Scribe you will not be able to add any smartwords or blocks. You will have to close it and then go do it in Word standalone to set up your vocabulary and such. So, in closing, sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes I just have to shut down the platform and log back in to get Smartype to be active again. Be careful too when deleting. Something due to Smartype will cause the document to delete from the bottom up if you do something wrong with holding shift-highlight-delete (or move). I can't be sure of the combination but it does happen. So I never shift-highlight-delete anything, just use the mouse to highlight and then delete or backspace. You really have to just experiment. But, making that little slide down copy of the Stedmans button on the toolbar though is the key. Hope this helps. Good luck.
Anyone have a solution for a sore behind??
I just recently bought a new chair, recommended on one of the sites and it wasn't cheap by any means. But my butt gets so sore when I sit for days. I've tried putting a pillow under me, but that doesn't seem to help very much. Any suggestions? Thanks!
