    This is completely untrue. SM
    I emailed a response while they were looking for moderators. I received a wonderful email with no broken English giving me all the sign-in information needed as well as complete instructions. It was NOT signed by Dr. Ahmed. I will not give out the name, as they clearly stated they do not want that known until this whole mess blows over. I will, however, delete any more of these outright lies I see on this board.
    So untrue and juvenille
     I guess the attorney will handle any litigation in this case.  She was denied by the Labor Board and she has no proof and she is known to BASH many MT services.  I think it is pathetic.   I usually do not get on this site because my schedule is very busy.  Thought I would check something out on the web and it came up and so I clicked on it to see what it was.  UGH.... anyway, have a nice day!
    Totally untrue...M-TEC & Andrews grads are...
    still allowed to test.  Please stop giving false information.
    TIA - THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH FOR CHECKING ON THIS - SM
    please do keep me posted. Thank you very very very much.
    Thank you. I'm checking them out. (sm)
    My most recent experience was more than the 5 years ago that they ask about on the website. Is that going to keep them from hiring me? Is there a test of some sort? Thanks again.
    just checking
    to see if post worked
    Checking
    My reports are from 1 to 50 pages. I can't afford to go over the entire report at the end. I do it as I go, using the highlighter on MS Word to mark the last line of each section or several at a time, once they're reviewed. I use a different color to flag things for the doctor or remind myself to go back and review something I need to verify. I just go back and undo the marker points when I'm done. I can't move along without proofing though, maybe because I'm still new at this, or perhaps it's my personality type.

    if you have been doing this for awhile and have not received negative feed back from QA, then I would suggest you lighten up a bit on yourself. I leave my grammer checker on and when I am finished with a report, I give it the once over for any *dreaded green lines* pointing out any grammar errors and if there are not any, I send it on. I get very little feed back on my work, negatively. I also check, quickly for any number transposes, as sometimes I get them backwards, but that is a personal thing for me. It saves alot of time if you learn to trust what you do. good luck.
    checking
    The reason you hire these people is to help you out not add on more work. Believe me been there. There are plenty of good MTs out there, in fact this one is looking!
    What about checking
    Windows Task Manager? Would this work while you are connected to VPN? Hit CTRL, ALT-Delete once and up pops the window. Choose USERS tab and would that show you if somebody else was on your computer? Just a thought. VPN is supposed to be somewhat protective, but there should also be a firewall and a program like AVG. Where I have worked the IT people do have to know a lot about the computers. IT people tend to be very stressed out because they get blamed for everything IME.
    From my checking around,
    it seems like you MUST go out on your own and find your own accounts, if you want to make any decent money and STILL have a life! Physicians by themselves pay much better than the MTSO's AND less account specs, cesspool, etc. Cuts out the middleman.
    Definitely worth checking into.....
    left office to work here. NEVER regretted it. Good tech support, wonderful, easy going supervisors, great accounts, few ESLs, platform is easy to use. Check it out.
    Just checking. It's great to see someone who is

    checking my smilies
    Make sure you right click on the picture, choose copy then come here and paste.  If this works, that's what I did.
    I got a DBA for the checking account...sm
    but did not get a business license. However, I do not live within any city limits. I was told by the bank that I should register with the state but never did and I do not recall paying any fees. I eventually got big enough where I incorporated which of course makes all the above points moot.
    too much time on re-checking

    I was just thinking.  If I spent 10 minutes per hour rechecking what I have already typed, 10 x 8 hours = 80 MINUTES.  That's a lot of time.  And I know sometimes I check more than that.


    I need to learn to just trust and let go.  What is your rule?  Do it right the first time, trust yourself, and just move on, or do you pore back over and worry too much? 


    I have got to speed up a bit.  Seems I have always had this problem! 


    checking out a surgeon?
    is there a way to check out a surgeon or doctor before making an apt with them?  (complaints, track record or anthing else).  I've never been comfortable with the "referral" from your primary or whoever it might be because I can't shake the idea of friends referring to friends and not based on qualifications.  thanks
    Checking the dictionary?
    Are we watching the same Judge Joe Brown!?! Not the impression I get, at all. LOL!
    are you checking references?
    nm
    yes very helpful - I was just checking
    them out at Transcriptiongear, and you can even get pink ones, how cute.
    I got my own accounts by checking the want ads.
    Any advertised position for a medical Transcriptionist received a phone call from me. I would ask if they would consider allowing the work to be done off site. If they said no, I would thank them and move on. If they said yes, I made an appointment to see the person in charge. I landed a physician's office that was part of a larger physician's group. Through their network, I landed three other offices just by word of mouth from the original office manager. The quality, timeliness and price of my product was valued and through it I received the other referrals. I have never looked for a job since then; they have all come to me. In this job, "quality is job one".
    OMG! Before doing all this checking for scam AVs, I'd
    rather pay

    $ 30.--

    for a yearly subscription with McAfee and am safe.

    It costs $ 40.-- McAfee PLUS for 1 year and if one subscribes early for the coming year, McAfee gives a discount of $ 10.-- and it comes to $ 30.--.
    Firewall is included. The scanning is very strong so that it does not let through programs that I want to install and it asks for permission.

    Again: for Tech Support: Why do you not favor McAfee?


    checking resources on computer

    Does anyone know how to check resources on Windows-XP, also on Windows 98?  Thanks


    Probably because someone can empty out your checking account before
    w
    Try checking out the IRS website. Maybe there's a list there. nm
    x
    Have you tried checking the IRS website for their definition?
    If there's a standard anywhere, it should be based on that.
    I remember checking a document

    where the dr had said I was depressed, not because I showed symptoms, but because of something he perceived in a question I asked him.  Needless to say, I found a new Dr. That one was obviously mysogynistic before he even got his practice off the ground.


    What is your process for checking your work
    Just wondering what everyone does to check their own work before they send it off.  Do you read back over the whole thing, read after each paragraph, ....
    Thanks for the info. I will be checking out the fuzzytummy.com before I order. sm
    Is heartworm medication, such as the sentinol, a drug that would require the Rx from the vet?
    DH pays the big bills and know he won't have more taken out on him, we don't share checking ac
    I have mine and he has his but like I said before, he pays for my car, his and the house note. Just moved here in 2004 and not planning a move, ever hopefully! But, as in my previous post, I have as regular employee been told to take off everything that pertains to my working at home (before becoming IC), room, DSL line, phone (have to have to use the DSL), computer, printing materials, all so I keep all receipts in all years plus we have 3 tax bills for 3 different properties for this past year (just sold a home where I used to live) but all that is kept. What I am saying is I have been told for years as an employee working from my home ok to exempt these. I do not like TAX TIME!!
    It means lots of people are checking it out....
    in other words, a HOT topic!
    Post your resume on all the various job boards and keep checking the
    help wanted ads.   There are companies who will hire from posted resumes that don't post jobs.   Of course you can be more productive with just one speciality, but it is also extremely boring.   If you are happy with your current company and they have other specialities ask them if you can do something else. 
    EditScript - Checking QA line counts
    I'm doing QA for the 1st time in EditScript and when I go into Transcription Metrics to check my line count, it says zero.  Is there a different way to check line counts in QA?  Or is something really wrong? 
    WhenI first got out of college and first got married, I had my very first checking acct. sm
    And needless to say, I was HORRIBLE with my money! I never balanced my checkbook and went on "what I thought I had in the bank." Yes, I bounced a few checks (blushing) BUT, the local business would just contact me and I would have to go and pay the check or fee, which I always did and then it was done with. I did that at K -mart 15 years ago mind you - young and dumb, paid for my bad check, my fee, and then turned around and paid for my purchases with a check. How hilarious is that???
    Since then, we have overdraft protection in case we ever need and it and Thank God for the last 2 years or so have never used it. But, in answer to your post, the businesses WILL try to collect before anything negative is posted!!!! It is when you run and hide and don't answer calls or doors that they will have to do it!

    You can pay off a bad check and be okay.

    We are landlords. A tenant bounced a huge check and then left the house for good. We just went straight to the DAs office and gave them a copy of the bad check. About 3 weeks later we got a letter with a check from the DAs office said that THEY COLLECTED FOR US and that future payments would ensue and then some. Sure enough - we collected!! Got that advice from our attorney! Oh, the DA will collect alright!
    If you'd done a little checking on this board, you'd see that all kinds of topics are discusse

    Thank you for posting. Tech support is checking on this now and will respond.

    Probably too late, but checking Ebay for a local seller sm
    might be an option. Ya never know!
    Yes, some hospitals are now checking applicants credit records (sm)
    and some hospitals are finger-printing for background checks.

    I encourage you not let your credit record keep you from applying. You will hopefully have the opportunity to share your situation.
    They are checking accounts with higher interest, minimum balance required, I believe.

    Thanks. Just checking out options in case SE does not exist anymore next year for MQ. I dont really
    need benefits and dont really want to be an employee with set hours and the amount of hours you can work. I dont know what part time employee will be because it does not exist now but just checking around. Thanks all. Of course, no one knows what the cpl will be next year for MQ either. I dont know how many hours part time employees are allowed to work and still be considered part time or how they monitor that.
    You don't need to close Word after checking the auto numbering option. It works right away. nm

    I had one of those. If you have a completely sm
    level back yard, you should do okay with yours. My yard had a slight slant to it which made the pool lopsided which made it very susceptible to collapse. Since I lived in South Florida at that time, I could never use the pool past May because the water was as hot as bath water.

    They require a filter change weekly and lots of chemicals. The rim will easily get holes in it, so be very careful, especially if you have dogs that like to jump in and out. And never sit or lean on the edge, or your pool will quickly collapse. If you expect heavy rain, better drain at least 2 inches out of it beforehand.

    Strongly advise getting a cover for it!
    They are completely different - sm
    Smartype is geared toward medical transcription specifically and is much more user friendly than Intellicomplete.
    While VR won't take over MT completely,
    With VR, one MT can do the work of 2-3 MTs doing straight transcription. So while there will still be MT jobs, there will be less of them. At the same time, you have MT schools churning out new grads willing to work for 1-2 cpl just to get their foot in the door. One MT company is so actively recruiting they are placing ads on Craigslist to get new students. Meanwhile, they have a ton of new grads complaining on their forum every day that they can't find a job. Things are definitely changing in this industry and it is not for the better.
    I completely agree
    These ESLs work hard to learn the language before they come here, many learning it through their school years, come here and legitimately and legally set up their practices (I haven't heard of any doctors complaining that their jobs are being taken by foreigners), and they still have to fight for any respect.
    you are welcome and I completely agree with what you are saying!
    it seems that so many like to twist around the Word or leave parts out that are uncomfortable. 
    I disagree completely. Please SM
    It is MY job to ensure MY work product is as error-free as possible. Just because I get paid piecemeal does not give me license to just send it to QA for the sake of make a few extra pennies.

    As far as your statement on the influence on our paychecks, you're right on -- but for a different reason. Because of higher quality, you will qualify for incentive plans, be offered more variety in worktypes, and when the chips are down STILL HAVE A JOB.

    I NEVER want to be paid by the hour again, regardless. Minutes are NOT tick-tocking away at my pay! I'm too fast AND skilled to ever limit myself in that fashion again!
    Completely understand now -- wish
    I was still in house.
    I understand completely...
    Every morning she jumps onto my desk, goes behind the monitor, on top of the printer, comes down the printer (which by now is beeping from her stepping on the buttons), then she steps in front of the monitor and bumps her head into mine. She will not let me work until I get up, go into the kitchen, and open a can of the most gosh-awfulest smelling food.

    This is a ritual...what a way to start the day! :)
    I agree completely!!
    When I first started typing for MedQuist, if there was a difficult doctor, I would skip over it. As time progressed, the more typing I did, the better I got and didn't want to skip over reports, I wanted to be able to type whatever came up! If you NEVER type these heavy accented doctors, you will NEVER learn to do them. I agree with you "Got the Letter" and am waiting for my phone call!!
    I agree with you completely

    when EVERYONE criticizes how the government is run and how they do things? Why put your life and those of your family in jeopardy waiting on the government to help you. What happened to PEOPLE helping each other?  People seeing that their elderly neighbors get to safety? People pulling together to solve these issues? Why do so many seem to be waiting to see what the government can do for them??  The government has enough problems!  I certainly would not rely on the government for ANYTHING!  Do these people want to government telling them what to do in their everyday lives?  If so, move to a country with no democracy!
