It would not be in the recycle bin either--sm
because she did not trash it. She brought up a new document over what she had already done, exited the document, and when asked to save changes, she said yes. That took everything she had already done and wiped it out. There is no trash recycling in this case. and yes, it did disappear into oblivion as soon as she hit that save changes button.
Check your recycle bin.
It sould still be in your recycle bin, just right click the file and choose restore.

If you deleted the actual dictionary, it should be in your recycle bin. Look for the *.spf file.
Otherwise, here is a website with a ton of info on ShortHand for you, including how to print your dictionaries.

Good Luck.
Exanders to the Recycle Bin Followup
Right. There is still straight typing out there.
The point is that once one agency says, "We have ASR and now we are paying our transcriptionists 5 cents/line" what do the other agencies do? Eventually they have to do the same thing and eventually we will all have VR or ASR and eventually all be paid 5 cents per line. That's the way it works. One company can drive the entire business down.
Deleting Bytescribe wav files (just recycle bin?)
Not much action on the Tech Board so I'm pasting my question here: Bytescribe people told me that once you delete the wav files (Options/Clear File History), it only deletes them from the player but not from your hard drive. I did a search for .wav files on my computer but none of those BS wav files come up, other than in the recycle bin. Is that the only place they would wind up after deleting them from the player then and am I done with them for good at the Recycle Bin? Thanks in advance for anyone who can help with this. (I still cannot believe the tech did not know where the files wound up.)
accident
Oh my goodness! I can imagine I would feel really angry and relieved all at the same time. But you know what? Thank heavens you were okay. You probably saved that baby's life (today or in the future) and who knows else she could have randomly run over (today or in the future). Such a dumb and careless thing to do--and with a baby in the car!!! Not to mention, don't these people see people being killed by drunk drivers all the time! All over a drink. Makes me madder than you know what!
My very first cat got out by accident
and we live in the country, but the house is right next to the road. She came back a couple of times to eat, but wouldn't come back in the house and wouldn't let us near her. She lasted 2 days before she got hit. I felt horrible. I am much more vigilant now.
no accident
"But blaming one little organization for the Information Age with its communications revolution, the political ascendency and internationalization of business, and the healthcare funding and insurance crises is like blaming a leaf for blowing in the wind."
I don't think this is an accurate analogy. They did not just passively benefit from the information age or globalization. They actively pursued Indian markets for certification ("Indian Pricing" - see previous posts) & created offshore certification sites with Prometrics, when the only possible effect this could have on American MTs is a negative one. This is all being couched in a lot of doublespeak about how this will benefit American MTs in the long run because of our collective & overriding concern for the integrity of healthcare documents, & somehow this is all supposed to translate into more money for us, when in fact it's doing the exact opposite. Now their bottom line stands to benefit hugely from MTIA's endorsement of mandatory certification, & with what can only be described as a smear campaign against anyone who is not certified, intimating in their own correspondence (also previously posted) that anyone who does not hold the CMT certification is a nightgown- & muff muff-wearing, uneducated, unprofessional slacker sitting at the dining room table typing on an unsecured computer & in whose hands AHDI's medical documents would feel less secure than in the hands of someone in Pakistan.
Give me a small break.
They are not "one little organization," they are pretty much the only one (that may change soon), & I don't think it's a stretch to think that what they are committing is illegal, or at least it will be if they seriously interfere with my ability to earn a living.
So no. My impression is that this was no accident. To call a spade a spade may seem like a low level of discourse to you, but considering how many MTs are still unaware of their nefarious deeds, I'd say this kind of conversation still has to take place. If you want to start a thread that contains something you consider more 'elevated,' by all means, go for it. Every little bit helps. But please, keep the dissing to a minimum. We are all in this together.
Quite by accident
I started working in a hospital at age 14, assisting in the dietary department and washing dishes in a 40 bed hospital! Guess I did a good job because when I was 16 I was promoted to nurse's aid's aid, which meant I got to learn to take vital signs, carry water, juice ect to patients and above all empty bed pans. I was also often put on "loan" to other departments. From there to ward secretary, to the business office and moved to medical records when their MT quit. Minimum wage for all of the above. Married, moved to Phoenix after 9 months working as an MT and was afraid I couldn't get a job with that little experience because by then I knew MT-ing was no walk in the park. So I hurried up and went to the nearest hospital and was hired on the spot, started to work before I got unpacked. Moved to Texas (husband transferred) qualified for unemployment and thought I might as well take a paid vacation. Went to the unemployment office and they had no classification then for MTs. They tried to classify me as a clerk/typist, I wouldn't hear of it. Several people were working on trying to classify me. Finally they went to their boss who obviously thought I was making it up (this was in Port Arthur, TX). She called the largest area hospital (St. Marys) and asked if they knew what a medical Transcriptionist was. They told her to send me right over. All I got from the unemployment office was a referral slip, which I never used. I took the vacation anyway. When I felt like going to work, I got out the phone book and called the first hospital listed (Doctor's Hospital in next door Groves, Tx), asked them if they had an opening. They asked how soon I could come in and again I was hired on the spot. Again, a small hospital. There were 2 MTs. Did all kinds of MR work when there was no dication, like coding and abstracting, etc. Moved to Houston a couple of years later and by then I had caught the primma donna MT syndrome. Decided I wanted to be a psychologist, went to college in my spare time, changed my mind and dropped out after a couple of years. Once I got known in Houston, I got calls nearly every week asking me to come to work. Sometimes they got in a bidding war. Sometimes I went with another company and sometimes I didn't. About all you had to do then was ask for a raise and you got it. At various times paid by line, by page, by 1000 words and maybe some other ways I have forgotten. The calls came from MTSOs (which were mom and pop operations then), they got my number from other MTs who had moved on from whereever I was working and they gave them my phone number. I worked at home then too but had to pick up tapes and deliver the transcribed work back. No strict TAT either, no schedules, no running out of work.
I recall one very good MT who had a habit of getting arrested for drunk and disorderly. Who did she call to bail her out? Yep, the MTSO owner. He groused about it but he went down and bailed her out every time so she could get back to work. That's how it was back in the day...............
Thanks for the tip, my agent knows about the accident but - sm
never mentioned in any way if they could help me, which is odd since she is generally very helpful. I call her 3-4 x a year with questions, policy changes (home, jewelry and 2 cars), rates, etc. I have some doctor papers/releases to sign, maybe I will run by her office and talk with her before signing them and get her take on things. Thanks.
I had a car accident with whiplash
Every situation is different but for me, my whiplash was pretty severe & resulted in a herniated disk.
I went to PT which was tremendously helpful (once I saw the right PT that is, the first PT I saw did not help at all.)
They told me to take a muscle relaxer, lots of Advil, and hot/warm moist heat is a must. The one thing different they told me was not to rotate the neck. They told me the worst thing you can do is to tilt your head back, to the front & to the side is OK but tilting your head back at all was a major no-no.
Once your muscles calm down a little, PT is something you may want to look into. I still do my neck exercises to this day and I still find them to be very helpful. (my accident was back in March 2004)
Sort of by accident. I had a
secretarial service and got a call from an x-ray tech who wanted to know if I would transcribe her tapes because she didn't have time to do it herself. I knew a little medical terminology, but not much. She would bring me the tapes and come back the next day and sit with me to fill in the blanks, which weren't too many, I might add. That lasted a week. After that, I had most of it down pat. She told me I was good at it and should really take a course in it and become a "real" MT. So I did.
Before my course was done, I got a call from a doctor who needed his transcription done plus from a school for troubled youth to do psych evals on these kids. After my course, I decided to go to the local hospital for a job, was hired, and from there ...picked up more doctor offices....the rest is history.
OMG! We just had the SAME problem and solved it by accident!!
We live by the ocean, and my husband had bought one of those "canned air horns" you can bring on a boat. They're like $5 in boat stores or sporting good stores. The poor dog next door is tied out 24/7, and verbalizes his unhappiness, but enough is enough. We tried everything, including talking nicely like adults with the owners, nada. We finally called the police, who live nearby and hear it, too! That put the fear of God in the owners for 48 hours, and then yap, yap, yap. About a month ago, by accident my husband blasted the horn in the back yard, and...silence...dead silence...the dog hates it. Now, I have dogs, too, and they didn't even notice this blast, so it didn't hurt their ears or anything like that! But this yapping beast seems totally astonished by the air horn. We've done it 2 or 3 times since, and now the dog NEVER barks. He's fine, but apparently knows there is "something" louder than him out there! We also called the police BEFORE we did it intentionally the next time, and they said it was fine, no laws against canned air horns, and we only blast it for a second. The dog is at least 1/4 acre away, so not like we're on top of him. It only took a few blasts, but it worked! Give it a try!!
Are you kidding? If this is not the description of accident, I don't know what is
According to your description of accident, this is it! What could possibly be foreseen about this? Ther is no way that this is the fault of the parents? While you certainly can bring a 2-year-old to the hospital, how feasible is it if the labor is anything more than 2 hours? DUH! You just CANNOT bring a 2-year-old to the hospital while having another baby. Obviously, the parents had great confidence in their friends ability to watch their child.
The person significantly at fault is the driver. So much so, in fact, that it is illegal to hit somebody and run!! Please don't give any excuses for the driver. I had a bird fly into the windshield of my car and it literally shook the car (a minivan), so don't tell me that someone would not feel more than a "board in the road" when running over a 2-year-old! Give me a break!
Did you by accident hit/click the Pay button twice? That will do that if you are not

Auto accident - rear -end
we don't think we should give a "recorded" statement to the other car's insurance company. Advice.

When my sister-in-law was in a car accident in 1992
my husband said they had an ESL in the ER. He tried several times to explain to the family what had happened. When they continually couldn't understand him, he blurted out, "She's dead!" My husband has never forgotten that.
Just found this board by accident one day
Glad I did at least I am not alone in this mess. I have been doing this for 9 years now with a 2 year break cause I was going nuts. I think I am hitting that point again. I feel like they treat you like crap. And the money used to be good all the sudden it isn't like they are playing with line counts.
You are hitting the Ctl button by accident..sm
happens to me too, until I figured out what I was doing.

If you click a link by accident or on purpose sm
that message can open a trojan on your PC that will access your ebay information. Happened to me once and some yo-yo hijacked my EBay account and ran up $3000.00 worth of charges in about 2 hours. My account got suspended for suspicious activity and I was notified by EBay of the problem. Lucky for me, they found out who did it and cancelled all the charges. I had to go to the EBay chat with customer service and repair the damage. Took about an hour. Now I change my password everytime I get a message that's fake and send everything to spoof@ebay. It really does help. So, if you do get a note about suspicious activity, then go to Ebay and see if you can log in. If not, then the email is from them.
Task bar. I do this by accident a couple of times a year
and I fix it, but can't figure out what I've done to fix it.
I have my task bar at the bottom of my screen usually, but now it is on the far right and I can't figure out how to get it back on the bottom. I know you normally click and drag, but I can't get it do down, just side to side. I even push the down arrow but that doesn't seem to do it either.
Make sure you haven't changed a setting by accident.
Check that you are not "shrinking" the document or have checked to print two pages on one page.
Both. Choice A "can" put you there, but so can a major illness, accident, fire, etc.
with this economy it is harder and harder to work your way out of poverty no matter what the reason for being there is.
You may have gotten it back from the recycle bin, but system restore does not restore documents.

Please don't delete - We need you!
I do not understand why this post continues to be deleted. I am simply stating what you have already said in your statement to the board. It IS sad to think that this wonderful board, who has been so supportive of American MTs, seems to have given up the good fight. I truly believe if legislation to enforce HIPAA regulations, as well as regulations on financial records, is focused on, rather than simply trying to compete monetarily with offshoring (which, frankly, we cannot do), we will have a real chance of at least stopping the flow of medical and financial personal records from leaving this country. Just because outsourcing exists does not make it right, and as long as we continue to fight it there is a chance to make a real difference. There are still many, MANY physicians for whom the "bottom line" is not the most important aspect of transcription, and many others who have experience offshore transcription first hand and realize the quality is not there. As long as there are people in this industry like Sheri with integrity and the willingness to fight for what they believe, even if it is against the odds, there is hope. THAT is why I am quite saddened to see this particular forum, one of the staunchest supporters of US-only transcription for US physicians, fall by the wayside. I don't think I"m bashing anyone. I'm just hoping you will reconsider. We need people like you!!
I just hit DELETE.
I never say a word to them
Delete what???
At what point does delete that go to far? It's an op note and I get the pre and post diagnosis, procedure, surgeon, asst, anesthesia, etc. Then she goes on to hpi, ros, fh, sh, meds, allergies, and exam. After exam she realizes that she's doing an op note and tells me to delete that and start over from preop diagnosis. Needles to say she was an extremely difficult to understand ESL, wasted about 20 minutes of typing time that I won't get paid for and I had to split my shift.
Sorry y'all it was vent or scream. I chose the vent to not wake up the family.
delete it
when i worked in editscript, i typed right through microsoft word. it was prerequisite that i get rid of all msworks or it would mess everything up. i would delete msworks.
delete key
The reason the delete key is not above the arrow keys is that with this keyboard you will do as much work with your thumbs as possible. This is part of what makes it ergonomic, & I would strongly suggest re-learning "delete" in its current position rather than try to circumvent their system. When I first got my Kinesis keyboard 7 years ago I went through a whole relearning process that was kind of slow & frustrating but worth it in the long run, & now I'm glad I didn't try to do an end-run around their thought process.
But you program keys this way:
Hit "Program" (upper right-hand corner) + F11. The 4 keyboard lights will flash quickly. Then hit the key you want to reprogram. The lights will flash slowly. Then keystroke what you want the key to do. When you are finished hit Program + F11 again. The lights will go out. It's programmed.

why do you want to delete your resume - sm
are you getting too many calls for work??? If you are, then I want to put my resume on there!!!
Please delete the below posts
Thank you.
Please Delete my Post.
Now I am Jodi, what do you say?
Delete them.........esp if you no longer do them...
For private MDs, I only keep their diskettes 6 months, since ALL the work and an additional diskette has been provided when I returned the work.........
If you worked for a national, you need to send the diskettes to them I would think.........that is, IF you worked for a national MT company. If not, I'd just delete them..........keeping the floppies for myself.........for future....(yep, I still use floppy disks...*LOL*).........
You say you can't cancel it - does that mean you can't delete it?
Have you tried using both the delete button on your keyboard and the delete icon in Outlook Express?
If your camera came with any kind of software, you should be able to reduce the size of the pictures so that this won't happen again. A lot of times I will do a test email and send the picture to myself to be sure it isn't too large.
If your camera didn't come with software and you don't have Photoshop (and don't want to spend the bucks for Photoshop), there are lots of freeware/shareware downloads for basic photo editing software. Just Google it and I'm sure you will find something that fits your needs.
not sure on this, but maybe just delete and replace nm

Delete the abbrev and put it in again sm
You have inadvertently hit the enter key at some point in this process. If you have added it as a Smart Block, this is just what happens and is why I don't use that facet of it in Word.

Forgive my ignorance, but is there any way I can assign another key to work as a delete key? - Thanks!
Delete manually

Curious, if a dictator has you delete...
several lines of dictation or even a whole report after you typed it, do you charge for it? I never have because if someone were to check my lines, they obviously wouldn't match. I've never really thought about it until just this second where I was asked to "go back and scratch all that." Total downer, know what I'm sayin?
You could just go through and delete all the blank lines.
Since it is just a test, why not try doing that?
