Naw, just find it an easy set up and their support is outstanding.
I personally hate paying out month after month after month for TASP, when Internet is the same thing. Maybe I ought to get a commission though! LOL

I like CSI Miami better than any
He always gets his guy and so cool about doing it! He definitely has a way about him! 
Miami's job ads since 1980 have said
and most of us have no problems whatsoever -
AND if they won't assimilate, which many will not - I see that but it still doesn't bother me...all that much - WOULD IT KILL ANY ONE OF YOU TO LEARN A FEW WORDS IN ANOTHER TONGUE??!?? Language can be soooo fun.....You're all MTs, how do you NOT enjoy language AND if you DO enjoy language - how do you NOT enjoy MANY languages - learning about them, origins of words, MOST WORDS come from the Greek, Latin, French, German......
USA English is a made-up language that came from proper (King's) English and is why it is soooo difficult for most foreigners to LEARN it...yes, our grandparents did learn it, some of our parents even.....but by no means is it PROPER ENGLISH in my mind....
Just ask George Carlin *lol*
and this is just my own opinion so no flames please....not looking to start a war here....
oooh Diddles - come to Miami! That would..
Miami Children's Hospital dictator
I remember when my child was 8 years old (now 25) she had to see a pediatric GI MD at Miami Children's Hospital. When he was done with her, he picked up a phone and dictated a huge report and I was standing there next to him (and I was an MT back then too) and he dictated so fast, I understood nothing of what he said. I then asked him how do the MTs that do his work comprehend exactly what he just said and he said that they use a format for him. I'm telling you, not one word was comprehensible. He's a terrific MD but THE WORST dictator I've ever heard.
just thought I'd share that *lol*
Ida Smith
became Iron Deficiency Anemia Smith. Gotta be careful for what those shortcuts might say! Changed that one REAL fast.

minutes is plural - subject/verb agreement.
Dr. Smith - possessive not necessary because it is already denoted in the phrase "patient of", i.e. Dr. Smith's patient or patient of Dr. Smith.
was and Smith's
BOS page 377: Use a singular verb when referring to a total amount of time, money, or quantity. Therefore 45 minutes (total amount of time) was spent, and 20 mEq was given.
BOS page 328: Some idiomatic expressions use the possessive form appropriately, a patient of Dr. Smith's.

Ah, Horacio on CSI Miami, whatever his real name is. Just something about that harda** attitude!
Guess I am giving away my age!
I love Dog -- Thought I would hate it, but really like it, same goes for that new show Miami Ink, -
don't know which channel --
Probably just like accounts in Miami Florida. Wouldn't you think? Cuban, Mexican, you name it.
Good luck!
Has anyone seen Shepard Smith from
fox today? He's looked really worn down the last few days and I can understand why, but haven't seen him at all today. Yesterday he almost lost it a few times on tv and wondering if they brought him home for rest.

Have you tried the Drs. Foster and Smith veterinary website?
Great site!
I hope your doggie's feeling better soon.
Some boxes, like Mrs. Smith's pies, say distributed by
Schwann company in So. Carolina, but they are all made in Mexico (my cousin is long distance truck driver, sees them transferring the boxes from 1 truck to another.) Fig Newtons made in Mexico. Big problem with the border guards from US because their uniforms and ID badges made in Mexico and many of them are stolen or sold in Mexico which allows access of illegals into US. Nothing is made in US anymore.
Anna Nicole Smith's son died yesterday (sm)
I don't know circumstances but that is so sad. Her daughter was just born a few days ago. Then to have her son die just days after that. I can't imagine what a roller coaster of emotions that would be. I know that Anna Nicole is over the top, but she seemed to love her son very much. Very sad.

Well, Word is easy to buy and easy to install. Word 97 works great. Cheap. SM
I still would not work anywhere I could not use a spell checker with grammar checker and a Steadman's Medical Spell Checker.
IF they want people to TRANSCRIBE MEDICAL REPORTS, then I guess they better get the programs they need.
It's like probably 110% easier to buy and install Word 97 than to try to program their own programming. And, yes, I do mean Microsoft Word 97. Why? Because you can install it unlimited times, in case you need to install the operating system again. And it has a few features that Microsoft, in its un-wisdom, took away in Word 2000 and 20003 and 2007. So, yes, I'd go with Word 97 for its cheapness and it works better than the later versions. Just my opinion, with 20 years experience being an MT. So what if they "don't have it" on their computer? It's easy to get.
go to chat room on web site and find out. i'm working but if you find out, let me know.
creepy dude.
Easy easy money they are!
I don't mind seeing those puppies filter in at all. Same for H&Ps. They are always different though, so can't really pop in the same pre-formatted autotext, but it's usually WHAMMO 2-3 pages at a time. Give them a shot...you may just be pleasantly surprised!
I find most of my abbreviations here. Scroll all the way down until you find the abbreviation box.

it's all easy to say when it's not you
If the mom wasn't in Aruba throwing a fit and crying on TV, we would all speculate about why she wasn't there and why she doesn't care. Either way, whatever she did, there would be someone there complaining about how she was doing it.
I would say until it is your daughter or son, maybe we should just keep our mouths shut and not pass judgment on them.
Also, I don't care what kind of bad decision or how drunk the young girl was, wrong though it may be, that doesn't mean she deserves to be murdered or raped. It makes me sick that we are always so eager to jump on the victim and the family at times like this.
We are doing it now - it's not so easy for my DH
He began the process of buying a new business in April. It was supposed to be completed by July 15, but there have been so many delays and things getting dragged out, it still isn't done. At first he was very excited about spending the some time home with the kids this summer, but I can definitely see for the last month or so he's gotten very depressed, sleeping more, not getting motivated, doesn't want to do anything with the kids anymore. I think men in general need to be productive (at least the good ones do), and unfortunately, raising kids doesn't offer a lot of immediate gratification. It's fun for a little while, but they eventually need more. I can't want for him to be gone so I can be "mom" again.
That's easy enough to do when you get the
same dicators on a routine basis. I type for a very large hospital with many outside facilities and rarely do I get the same dictators on a regular basis. Therefore, my paycheck is considerably less than cherry-pickers. What these people do is listen to a few minutes of the report and, if they don't like what they hear, they send it back. Also, of note, these are not necessarily the mumblers, ESL, or speed talkers. Many of these are reports that have a problem, i.e., wrong MR# so I have to enter all of the demo info (not paid for), wrong report type so I have to change it and make a note to send to the hospital, no date of service given with again a note to the hospital, etc. All time-consuming, frustrating, and cutting into my paycheck.
very easy. I have my 2 as well as
my parents next door networked, a total of 4. make sure to have your network password protected.
that's an easy one
Worked for an owner-operated MT company and the owner was an alcoholic. She expected no less than 18 hour days 7 days a week and if you asked for even ONE day off per week, she would start cursing and carrying on and saying she would give the accounts away. Then when she got really drunk, she'd start messaging all this personal stuff about her husband and former husbands and their sex life and all that. She was this astrology nut who hired on the basis of the "signs" of the transcriptionists and if she would call to curse you out about something (even if it didn't pertain to you) she would say it was the person's "aura" that was bad for the company. Yup there are real nuts out there.
That's easy. sm
I have been a fry cook, nurse's aid, farm worker, receptionist, clerk in a U-Totem. I kind of enjoyed all of them. My worst job was waiting tables. It's grueling work, for little pay and you have to rely on your tips to get you through. It's more demanding physically than most people can imagine and you never get to sit down. Plus, you deal with attitudes all day long. Never again.
That's an easy one...
Congratulations!! You are now qualified to do most every job in medical records, except for the supervisory roles. We, MTs, would make awesome coders!! We are also qualified to do positions in medical offices, receptionist, coder, referrals, etc. Start putting out your resume!! You'll see!! And, by the way, when the Transcriptionist is on vacation, you are the automatic fill-in. More money!!!
Not easy, but this is what we do. . sm
Four kids. Birthdays are 2 in mid September, 1 end of October and 1 two weeks before Christmas! We now have a new grandson who is just a month old, so we can just add on to the pre-Christmas insanity for next year as I'm sure he won't expect much this Christmas. :)
My poor hubby's birthday is 2 weeks after Christmas. We usually just make him a card or something. :) Nothing until my birthday in May, but I get the homemade cards too. Must make mental note to buy construction paper. :)
I never bought BIG for my kids at Christmas. I spend about $500 total. I make a lot of stuff too. My parents are gone. His parents just want school pics of the kids.
I guess I'm lucky. Our whole family from grandparents right down to my youngest don't see Christmas as "I want, I want." They know that Christmas is about giving and that presents should come from the heart. I still have every badly glued Christmas ornament that my kids ever made me hanging on the tree every year.
Every year, no matter how much or how little money we have, we always pick a name off from one of the local "giving trees" to buy a gift for a child from a needy family. Usually these requests are for socks or boots or something, but we always include an age appropriate toy or book or game.
We donate food items to the Christmas food drive and would never even dream of walking by a Salvation Army Christmas donation kettle without putting in at least a dollar or two.
These furniture ads that scream, "WOULDN'T DAD LOVE A NEW FLAT SCREEN TV FOR CHRISTMAS?" make me ill.

<<we always pick a name off from one of the local "giving trees" to buy a gift for a child from a needy family. Usually these requests are for socks or boots or something, but we always include an age appropriate toy or book or game.>>
I'd like to share my story about those 'giving trees.' Last year, I was going through a divorce. My ex decided to stop paying child support, dump all our bills on me and leave the state. I was also sick and racked up several thousand dollars in medical bills. The school counselor put my kid's names on the giving tree at Wal-Mart. My kids got really, really nice gifts, and it was wonderful. Those gifts meant the world to my kids. It really made them feel great that a stranger cared to give them something when we were going through so much. This year I've pretty much gotten back on my feet financially and things are much better. We were at Wal-Mart last week, and my kids saw the giving tree. They both decided to spend their birthday money that they have been saving on a child from the giving tree. They each spent $40. My daughter, who is 10, said that she thinks the most important present she is going to give every year is to the giving tree. It was really hard going through my divorce and the financial difficulties, but I think it taught my kids a really important lesson that they couldn't have learned any other way.
Not easy 50K
I can't say it was an easy 58.5K this year but I did it. It was 50K for me as I paid 8.5 to my subs who work 5 to 6 hours per week for me. That is all they want to work. But I did it and hoping to go above 60 next year, we will see.
UR very welcome - nobody said it was easy biz.NM

something easy!
 I just can't get into heavy duty cooking. I think it will be chicken fajita salads, have the chicken thawing that is already southwestern spiced! Hubby will eat about anything, lucky for me!
It is easy enough
 At first it was a little difficult but once you get a routine established it is okay. My daugter is 3 months and we have it so I nurse her more in the morning before I start to type and she sleeps for a food 4-5 hour stretch. It will just take a little time. Be patient, it will all work out.
Too easy...
You do control K, then control B, and type in Physical Exam how you want it to be, and then controk K again and unbold. I had this problem not long ago, and someone on here helped me, so will pass it on.
Very easy
to use. Microsoft word based. I loved it when I worked with it.
Not easy
I don't blame you. For 20 years as an MT, I thought "boy I'd like to work in administration, that's gotta be easy." Boy oh boy was I wrong!! I had one person I just had to let go who claimed to have been head of QA for a larger company and honest to goodness, my new grad does better work. I simply told her that her work did not match her resume and the proofing time was too extensive for her to continue working for us. After she called me every name in the book, she said it was my fault for not paying her enough! I could have paid her 20 cpl and the work still wouldn't have been good. We hear the moaning about how we don't reply to emails...that's another issue. I put in my ads exactly what I expect to see in the email and what I want in the subject line and maybe 1 out of 20 will follow the instructions. I give out a detailed information package on the accounts and they don't read them. I had one CMT who said she had never followed specifics and wasn't about to now, that she knew what she was doing. I had one hired on Monday and on Wednesday she asked for a week's vacation. I get them who sign up for a specific number of lines then don't bother, a good portion "forget" to send in their work. I had one lady hired who lived only 6 blocks from another MT and she didn't work for 3 days claiming they had severe storm damage and no power. I had one say her father was going to be sick in July so she needed time off. It's really sad because the good people get worked to death while we constantly try to fill in the gaps and keep the accounts going. If we are too easy going, people don't work at all. If we try and toughen up, then I'm a you-know-what. Salaries just aren't going to go much higher, if at all higher, because the work is leaving and it's leaving fast. I get no less than 4 emails when I post an ad, emails from foreign companies offering to do the work for 3-8 cpl. At 3 cpl, it would be cheaper for us to send it out and then have it totally read through, but we are trying like h*** to keep the work here.
They are so easy and you don't get
PAs and NPs dictating them.
