Since I gave up eating sugar and refined carbs, I don't crave chocolate sm
I gave up sugar and refined carbs in March of 2004 and I don't crave anything "bad" anymore. I actually had withdrawal-type symptoms for a few days though.
I feel much, much better now :)

Not political but re Senator Kennedy's OP:
Wouldn't that have been a great one to transcribe? Not because of who it is, but just due to the type of the surgery he had--open brain surgery with intermittent wakeful testing. I've been an MT for about 27 years, majority in acute care (now clinic--boring), and I absolutely love doing OPs. I really enjoy doing long, complicated, interesting operative reports like I'm sure this one was.
Gruesome? Maybe  , but well wishes to the senator in any case.
As do politicians, going back to the Kennedy era

No need to be smart with him. He's got my
respect for having earned his degree, whether or not he's working in that field and for whatever reason.
Not because they are smart...because they
IQ was never the issue!
If they are smart and get out ;)

We are just so smart... sm
 and great at what we do that we need a challenge once in a while. No, switching professions is not the answer if your desire is to stay at home. I have found that helping each other through these message boards has been quite invigorating, and to know that I am not alone in my endeavors is quite reassuring, I must say!
Smart Gal!
Yes, this is the only job I believe where the salary goes down in time instead of up. You are smart to find another career. I have been in this line of work over 20 years and only wish I had made another move early on. Good luck to you.
You are one smart person,
this, Soft Script would go out of business!!! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.
Smart Young Man
Your son sounds like a very smart young man. Not many kids these days truly care about their education. They look at high school as a party/social time, and dont look into the future what so ever, and said thing is a lot of our children are not getting the guidance from home either.
My son loves to learn and loves to be challenged and with him being home schooled we are able to do so.
And one other positive note on home schooling college intrance exams have shown that home schooled kids are just as smart if not smarter than those who go to public or private schools. The one on one they get is a big big factor in that.
Best of Luck!!!!!!!
work smart - -
You must be an IC. Yes?? Is that where "it's" at?
Monkey's are too smart for the job! LOL - nm

That's a smart post.
I like how you think. Very good.
info on Smart Med
Their pay is pretty good. Bennies pretty good. Platform not so good. Tech support leaves much to be desired.

Transcriptionists are smart!
I had a doctor say to his "residents" that they should do transcription because I was answering all of the questions they could not, just because I've transcribed for so many years! That was kind of a nice feeling, if I do say so myself! So... maybe we could all be doctors some day! 
smart move. JMO

You're smart to do that.
You must feel much less bored and isolated by getting out into the real world and taking part in something more involved-feeling.
Really Smart Docs
From OB ultrasound report: "The fetus is single."
Good for that fetus! No fetus should marry before being born.
that's pretty smart.
will have to remember that.
Smart Type
You are better off just using one Expander at a time. There are things that ST will do that IT will not and vise versa. It is a matter of figuring out what is best for your needs.
You are welcome to email me and I can answer more specific questions for you.
You are 1 smart cookie
No matter what your age, you have done all the right things in order to have things go smoothly and be a productive worker at home. I like your way of doing things!
Is this legal or just not very smart? (sm)
I have a cardiologist who dictates from a template. Even if he does not mention things from the template, they are to be left in (negatives and positives). This includes in the PE a respiratory rate of 12. He never mentions it, but I have been told to leave it in. The odds of every patient he sees having a respiratory rate of 12 are pretty astronomical, and I think a lawyer could have fun with this if pressed. My supervisor agrees but feels we should give the client what they want.
Not too smart a question
I am sure, but I am totally new to digital transcription, as I have always used tapes. I have a service I am wanting to test with who sent me a voice file. I am using Express Scribe. The file is an .exe file, and I cannot get Express Scribe to accept it. What am I doing wrong?
Smart Type with
MedRite-XL ... what would the benefits of using Smart Type rather than the MedRite expander? Need to to anything I can to get faster.
It is smart to have 2 jobs if you can - sm
I have 2 IC jobs, though I don't work at the 1 much anymore (just weekends if I am not too busy); I have more accounts now with the 1 job (didn't have enough work like you before) though stilll not making quite what I want but slowly creeping up to my goal. I have the other IC job to fall back on if needed which is nice to know. I also have 1 account of my own and am about to seek some more out, so maybe I can reach my personal goal. But is it smart to have 2 jobs since if one dries up or they lose the account you are on then you still have income coming in.
smart gloves
Love the smart gloves. they have sort of a bean bag on the palm and do not restrict your typing at all.
Smart expander?
Does anyone know of a "smart" expander? One that remembers what you type and makes expansions for you? I think someone said Instant Text does but I'm not sure. Maybe there isn't one? Just wondering!
TIA!
As smart as doctors are, WHY
don't they have sense enough not to dictate on cell phones & speakerphones?! They dictate punctuation & spelling to make sure their report is perfect, but then dictate it on a cell phone cutting in and out?! 
I think Dubya's hot - smart, not swayed by
I'd sleep with him if he was single!
You're a smart lady.

Smart MT. Tapes or internet? SM
Hello
I am currently an IC and I have 2 physicians. I want to use the internet to transfer files. I am currently using tapes. Any insight as to how do this safely, quickly, and cost effectively would be greatly appreciated. Oh, I am stuck using dial up.  Also, how much do you charge?
Lynn
Smart Gloves. Google them. They are the best!
You're not horrible - just smart
Your time is money, all the time you spent researching, designing, printing and distributing your flier was all time you spent and money out of your pocket. Just because others may not want to do the hard work for themselves, doesn't obligate you to give away yours. It is a business and you made a business decision. You know pretty well that there are those who would try to short cut and just change your information for theirs. Stick to your guns!
oops - SMART MOUTH..............NM

Smart lady! I admire you.

I thought I was being so smart last year m
by buying a space heater for my office. I thought it'd keep me warm during the day (I'm naturally pretty cold) and I could still dial down and save on fuel oil. Well, I did those things, BUT our electric bill jumped about $50/month because of the space heater. At first I couldn't figure out why it had gone up so much. It was up more than the 40%+ that the electric company raised their rates. They told me to turn off all appliances and then turn them on one by one and watch the meter. THe meter didn't really increase at all from it's slow turn for any appliance until I turned on the tiny space heater I used and it started spinning like crazy. Turns out that heater was the cause of the increase in the bill. So just a warning about that. Others may know of heaters than don't pull that kind of juice. If you do, please post!
ha! smart gal! good luck! nm

Smart Glove wearer here.
Only when the pain gets real bad. Slows me down big time.
Smart Glove WONDERFUL
I also wear Smart Glove. They are a life saver!!!!!! I buy a new pair whether i need them or not each year.
Smart Glove - can't work without them sm
I can't do anything on the computer without them any more. I have been wearing them for almost five years and never had a minute of stress/pain. It took about a week to get used to it because the beans in the palms were strange, but I honestly can't be without them now.
I never used Smart Type but IT is at the bottom sm
It takes up about the bottom third of my screen. You can change the size, but I have it set to give me about twelve lines because I have a lot of templates that start by the doc's name, so I can have twelve templates that start the same - Smithcons, Smithdch, SmithHandP - and need to be able to scroll and pick the one I want. It may be that it can be positioned in another place, but this is how I started using it and have never checked for something different.
It took me a couple of weeks to get real comfortable with watching the bottom of the screen, but once you get doing it, it becomes a rhythm. I am so used to it that I am forever sending emails to my sister with my unexpanded expansions. Like another poster said, success relies on "thinking" your Expander and constantly building it in ways that make sense to you.
I have a massive glossary - 16869 words, 57341 phrases. Some of it is glossaries that came with it, some of it is glossaries I downloaded (I don't remember where, it was years ago) and some of it is things I have added over the years - including full templates for every doc I can. Some of it is from compilations - you can take a bunch of reports and have it analyze them for commonly occurring phrases and it then creates contiuations - like if you do "the patient was" then it will suggest "prepped and draped" "discharged to home" "given a prescription for" "alert and oriented" and you just scroll to the right one and plop it in.
I know a lot of it goes unused and some of it is duplicate, but I haven't taken the time to go clean it out. It is a constantly shifting, evolving process and I think that is what makes it so productive for me. Granted, I have never used anything else other than Auto Correct, so there may be better out there, but this works great for me.
If Smart Type is the same as Shorthand, I think it is, there should.....
not be a problem using it with any program, it works outside programs, meaning it should not interfere. I have used ShortHand for years and it has never interfered with any and I mean any program I have ever used. Hope this helps.
Yes, my daughters are getting smart to reality.
When they are out in the "general" public with their girlfriends they know not to flaunt themselves in a disrespectful way. We, as in all parents on both sides, chosen to accept our children because I feel like condemning them for something they believe in is wrong. Do I deep down hope and pray it is a phase and they will change, I'd be lying if I said no, but will I love them any less if it doesn't happen that way, of course not. I do feel bad because my stepdaughter was extremely close to her grandparents and when they found out they asked her to keep her life to herself and they are opting to go with the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. They are fairly religious and state that they will never acknowledge anything in her life that pertains to that. At 18, she was crushed but her love for them stays strong and she respects their beliefs. As a side note, my sister who is a year older than me decided she was a lesbian too after 3 marriages, 3 children and more men that I could ever count her whole life. Honestly, I feel this is some kind of "trend" and it is a little disturbing. I have met some people who were "different" day one and I would think to myself "wow, they really are a man in a women's body and vice versa." It is obvious that they were born that way and had no choice, but what I see now is more of a lifestyle choice when you spend your own life being boy-crazy and then all of a sudden you only date women. What is the world coming to...being "open-minded" is about the only way to put handling all of this.
