I think you will find the book to be wonderful..
once you get using it for a while. I LOVE IT!

Good luck!
I used A Fujitsu Life Book the first 4 years, and just switched
And pretty much my whole personal life is set up on my lap top, as well, and sometimes additional software for other services when I've worked part-time elsewhere. And I haven't begun to use nearly all the hard drive space. I have had one minor repair problem years ago, and it was a piece of cake to carry it to Best Buy, who flipped it open and fixed the problem on the spot. Lap tops rule!
get a life, this is extensively documented. Pick up a book some time, ignorance

"YOUR" MTs? Now that's what I'm talkin about. You don't own anyone. Maybe people d
and lied to you so you wouldn't succeed as a supervisor.  I would have.  I would have loved watching you fall flat on your face.   "MY" MTs!!!   As IF!
By the way...it's "your" money, not "you."

Good English skills you have.


that should be "your" emotion. No coffee yet!

Quick Look Drug Book (book & CD/ROM)..sm..

Does anyone use both.  I'm definitely getting the CD/ROM and am debating about buying both.  I don't see any reason to have both but there could be something I don't know. 


I noticed CD/ROMs are on backorder but they're selling downloadable versions.  I can handle that.


Yeah, yeah, that should be "your work..."

I make sure the job is not my life and that it does not take over my life. sm
I have been at this 25 years, even once had my own accounts and worked 24/7 with cat naps to keep going but no real sleep. I really burned myself out. Now I work a regular 40-hour week, but it is not my life. It is a means of making money so I can go live my life. I work for a company that is not all about production. They want us to take our time and do it right. I am doing that, and it feels so good to be able to work at my craft and be allowed to do a good job while I am at work.

But after I get off, I have my family and I take time to have fun and enjoy life. I think that is the key to not staying burned out. You need down time, time to have fun, exercise, relax, etc.

Exercise is very important, too. It rejuvenates the hormone system so you have more positive hormones flowing through your body and helps get rid of stress.

That's what I do.
The Sted's Ortho & Rehab Words is probably my most used book and then the Lab Words book. GL! nm

If everything is wonderful---
Why were you complaining???
That is just wonderful (sm)
No more waiting for months.  Congrats again!
How wonderful! Can I ask...

How did you go about this?  Are you a parent, and if so did you wait until kids were older?  Not trying to be nosy, but I have been thinking about this a lot.  My kids are still relatively young, but as they get closer to both being in school full-time, I have been thinking about going back to school and studying something in the healthcare field.  I think becoming a doctor is too far out of my reach, although in another lifetime, that would have been my dream.  But, maybe a PA, or some type of therapist, or a nuclear medicine tech? 


Any info you can share would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!


How wonderful!

That's WONDERFUL!

How wonderful!
Happy mother's day!
That is wonderful
The hospital where I worked before going to MQ 10 years ago would always play it up big time. I miss that, but MQ has made a bit of a dent this year (well, I say a bit because I haven't won anything LOL). Food and a new reference book -- can't beat that!!! (well, um, maybe the Tiffany bracelet would :-)


Wonderful!
That is wonderful. I love the doctors who seem as if they have a good personality and care about not only their patient's but also their transcriptionist. It is always nice to be recognized as a human being! Kudos to that doctor and keep up the good work Patti! You are obviously doing something very wonderful for them!
Oh, how wonderful! Thank you very much!

What a wonderful day...NOT

My one doc got laryngitis on Tuesday...he's still dictating but only in a whisper. Yet, when he had part of his voice, I couldn't understand a darn thing! Whispering was definitely better. LOL


I took a break from my other job to run to the store...15 minutes max. Put our puppy outside because I don't quite trust her in the house by herself yet. Came out of the store and my BATTERY WAS DEAD!!!  Didn't have the strength to open the hood of the truck all the way (I'm no spring chicken), then couldn't get it closed because I'm too short.


Thanks heavens for cell phones. Beeped hubby. He was 50 miles away. Called 1 son. He was 30 miles away. Called foster son. Wow. He was home!!!...but sick with the flu and he only lived a mile away. After waiting 45 minutes, he finally arrived. Surely he would be able to get it going...nope not even with the extra battery. Truck still sitting in the parking lot. Poor pooch was so very happy to see me come home.


On top of this, it's my birthday {{{shudder}}}


 I think I'll just stay home and keep working from now on.


 


Wonderful!

Hapy to hear that!


Wonderful job
You inspire me!!
What a wonderful
response to people who are new to the profession. It's good to see someone give some great helpful advice to someone who wants to get into the field. Good for you! I was new once and I remember how hard it was to enter the profession. It's still hard to obtain new accounts because this is such and invisible job, but I love working at home. I bet all those newbies appreciate your advice!
That's wonderful...
Never, ever should have been outsourced in the first place. That is just NOT SAFE for a million reasons. Congrats!
Wonderful!!
Never been happier to switch myself. All in all i am saving over $100 a month and the only time my net went out for longer than an hour was when a line was cut and AT&T customers were out too. It is a shame that AT&T was allowed to buy up the smaller companies. Just ruined the whole thing.
Wonderful...
This sounds like it may be just what I need. Where can I get one of these?

Thanks for such good advice...I havenever heard of this before!
That would be wonderful
to produce like that.  I agree somewhat with the poster who does doctor office notes.  I worked for a medium-sized clinic and did very well. I had one psychologist who would dictate an eight to ten page initial assessment, and then when the testing was done, he would have you copy the assessment (mind you being paid for those lines again), and add the testing information.  I made out very well with him.  I also had a lot of standards under the Objective and Treatment Plan, which helped with my line counts.  I just saved my format in autocorrect and popped it in with the information already there.  When I transcribed the initial assessment, I saved the whole thing in autocorrect under the patient's last name, and when the testing came through just popped it up and added to it.  Very easy lines.
You are wonderful!
That worked! Not sure how it got marked, but whatever! Thank you so much!
Wonderful, thanks

Thank you for sharing. I know I'd be using this a lot :)


THIS IS WONDERFUL
Of course you should mention MT!!!! We're finally getting our chance to be heard. I'm inspired to do the same thing now!!! How else can we have people get the picture about their medical records going overseas without saying it's the MT business?? This is great? Good job!!
That is wonderful! It is a very sm
noble profession and folks with your attitude are the ones who make this profession what it use to be and what it still can be. When I started we had a dictaphone system that had these little things that looked like records but were very very thin. Kind of like the stuff you find in cereal boxes as a prize for kids, that is what the dictation was on. Then out came cassette tapes...what a advance, makes me laugh now. Then the mini tapes, then dictaphone C-phones to internet based stuff, selectric typewriters, to IBM wheelwriters, to stand alone word processors, to main frame computers and on and on to where we are today. Oh yeah, not to mention the CARBON PAPER AND WHITE OUT which is just too funny now. But the changes have been amazing. They will keep coming.

I can't say I am crazy about voice editing but I think if used correctly it has its place. The sad part is I don't think it can ever take the place of a real live MT but the money grubbing businesses are trying to make it take the place of the MT thus setting things backwards. That part saddens me.

I commend you on your perseverence!

There are also marriages that are wonderful, yet (sm)
sometimes we tend to get selfish and think only of ourselves.  My husband is the same way as the original poster's, but in every other respect, he's wonderful! I would not dream of throwing in the towel just cause he got upset when I had to work and he didn't. That's crazy. Especially if there are children are involved, they deserve both parents.
Jergens is wonderful! sm
I have tried every self-tanner on the market. I am quite fair skinned and always ended up with orange streaks up my arms and up the backs of my legs - this year have been using Jergen's Self tanner every night after shower and it is wonderful!!!! No complaints! Perhaps next time around, I will go for the darker shade - anyone try that yet???? and????
WONDERFUL POST

to remember when things were great in the MT industry.     Take Care


We had it last night. It was wonderful.

You are so wonderful and helpful
I originally mailed my resumes. I was instructed to do this from the course I took. When I started online job searching I ran into websites with job boards and began e-mailing. I check alot of job boards on a daily basis.
I also have nothing but praise for them. They have a wonderful sm
QA staff and are always willing to help, not condescending as so many people I hear complain, and as the above poster stated, really good benefits.
That is wonderful. I pray that you are
very richly blessed in return. Merry Christmas to you!!!
God bless you. What a wonderful way
to reach out to others!

Now that is truly the spirit of Christ in Christmas!!


There really is a wonderful site on the
web that gives you nothing but help in many areas, including expanders, word, word perfect, and multiple other programs, and I am risking my life putting the name of it on here, but it a very non-controversial board designed only to help everyone, and it is free.

It is harrie's productivity site and this is the web address for it:
http://www.productivitytalk.com/forums/index.php

All the gurus are there to answer and help you with what you need, and they go to a lot of work to do this, so you really need to thank them.

Sorry, administrator and moderator, but I really do not think that board is in competition with you and hope you will let this stay because it is so helpful for everyone.

Wonderful Idea
This is a wonderful way to show support. Our area spends a lot of time sending care packages to our troops (which I believe is still very important), but offering support here at home to their families would be another great thing to do. My mother lives near Fort Meade and has a lot of military neighbors and she has done the volunteer babysitting for many years.

Thanks for your positive reply.


What a wonderful thing you have done! SM

I have often thought of it, but I am afraid I work just as much now as I ever did.  I remember my kids saying all their lives that all I did was work, and they were right. I was a single mom.  I plan on retiring at 62.  Do you think that's too old to start again?  I would just love that.   I really would.  Thanks so much! 


I still don't, I have a wonderful husband. nm

Sounds wonderful to me!
I was told by my doctor to return this week if the antibiotics and Midrin weren't working. I think I will talk to him about this. I am just so sick of headaches! I can't function, and I am always on edge. Thanks so much for the information!
