calls. I have done this hospital so long that very easy for me, know the dictators, these are the 4s also. I do some straight (training hospital). My favs are ops also and it is just fast, fast typing and fast forward on the VR. I did not want to work fulltime anymore so set this 3000 per line on the days I work so I can still bring home what I want to make.

fast forward audio?...
what does that mean? and are you really editing all for 99% QA or just fixing the "bigger issues." i'm not being snide, i really want to know your secret; my system is anywhere between regular typing speed to 1500 per report but averages out much lower than what you are getting.
Prob is then you may get all fast fast fast talkers...not a fair way nm

Well I did that and I can get it to go forward now but I can back up the dictation only go forward.
:
DH either comes to me or I go to him if I'm at a stopping point. We always hug
and kiss. We are also on different schedules and he goes to bed early and I work late and he fixes me a chai latte every night and kisses me before heading off to bed. If I'm still up when he gets up I get a hug and a kiss before he leaves.
My SIL used this and had no problem stopping.
She couldn't stand taste after starting this and now she can't even stand the smell. It's probably been 4 years since she did this.
there's no stopping outsourcing now
what many people don't understand is this is just the beginning. We and our children will be competing against the best in the field from ANY country- Ireland, China, India...so one better find a job that has to be done HERE - which could be anything from window-washing to nursing...or be prepared to be very good at what you do...
But what is the pay? maybe that is what is stopping MTs from taking the jobs
Most jobs out there only want to pay 8 cpl if that much.
No one wants to work for peanuts.
There may be a few out there worth taking, but they dont last long.
Then stopping trying to negate her feelings
Bully for you that you wouldn't feel slighted. How wonderful that you don't mind the benign neglect of your husband regarding your anniversary. At least, one would assume, that your husband does something that contributes to making your life pleasant, happy, and easier on a regular basis or does something that nurtures your soul in a romantic or loving way. However, other than signing my paycheck, while at the same time finding ways to get more work and more hours for less pay, my company does very little to foster the warm fuzzy feeling necessary to be able to overlook a cheap slight. As someone pointed out earlier, a 1 penny tip to a waitress is designed as an insult. I've gotten coupons worth more than $5 out of the Sunday paper, and I didn't have to risk carpal tunnel or sacrifice family time to get it.
My trick for stopping expansions from expanding....SM
This might not work for you but I find it quicker to add it in my shortcuts. I simply add the last letter on it again when I don't want it to expand. For example, BP = blood pressure but BPP = blood pressure. COPD = chronic.... but COPDD = COPD. That's a lot faster for me than to do all those other steps. Just thought I would throw that out there in case it might work for someone else too.
Just stopping by to wish all a Happy Turkey Day coming up....nm

depends how fast the MT is......No one would want to pay me by the hour because I'm fast.

how fast you can type, has little to do with how fast you can transcribe
Let's face it, we can only type as fast as the doctors dictate... worse, we can only type as fast as we can *understand* the doctors. Given someone who slurs or has a heavy accent, someone who clears his throat constantly or shuffles through the paper, given an unfamiliar account or work type, or an area we don't have much experience in and have to look up words, etc., any and all of these things combine to make typing speed not really relative at all. I personally type 110, but not when I'm transcribing. I tell most folks who ask, if you type 65-75 wpm, you're solidly in the ballpark for doing medical transcription.
I wasn't talking about stopping work today. Before we do
how many of us there are. We need to be locating and contacting MTs who don't use MT Stars or other MT boards, and start networking with them. Five or six of us from this board deciding to stop work today isn't going to change anything. We have to get our numbers up, and get all of our collective antennae pointed in the same direction.
The company cutting cpl, the company stopping paying for headers

Still looking forward
I have been reading this board for a short time now and have been pretty grateful for a lot of the information and advice.
What I am not grateful for? The sense that MT completely sucks and is the worst career choice anyone could make. I understand that people like to vent but there are some posts that just come across, to us who are learning and just getting into the field as very, as very bitter and very discouraging.
I am only posting this because I have a voice, too. I am looking forward to working from home, having people ask me how to do "do what you do at home", making some extra money (though I DO know that I won't be getting rich in this field), and learning all there is to learn about our language and the language of medical professionals.
Every job, every career, every field has its share things to hate. I'm sure MT won't be any different. But please, remember when you post that there are some of us who really want to enjoy and succeed in MT. Advising us to turn the other way and run just doesn't seem a fair thing to do.
I'm just sayin...
You could also forward your sm
calls to your cell phone while you're working.
Definitely looking forward to seeing it. sm
It's unfortunate that politics and business so strongly influence the health care we and other patients get, but they are, and his films provide additional information that is for the most part all too appallingly accurate on review. Those most surprised and disbelieving would benefit most by researching its veracity for themselves and not relying on the word of others. Besides, the films are always fun to watch if maddening.
forward it
There is a place somewhere on Homeland Security or FBI site where you can forward them suspcious emails and they check it out. Let the sender who told you to get screwed know that you are planning on doing this even if you don't forward them. I too am sick of the scammers and Viagra ads. Viagra doesn't qualify, but those money things do! I have even gotten "bank statement" things and I block them out or forward them over. After that, I don't hear from them again. Anybody else been getting junk faxes lately?
I am looking forward sm
to being back. I have done a little here and there when needed but nothing where I could say I am "working." I had some health problems of my own that are now resolved so it has been a long period. Truthfully, I wish everyone could AFFORD to take a break. I found out I also had burn out and the break (regardless of the reason) really has helped as far as MT goes. I am looking forward to getting back to it. Thanks.
We homeschool and we are all looking forward
to getting back to a structured learning time. Homeschooling is not something we do, it is a lifestyle, and we are constantly learning, but we have an "official" 180 days as required by our state.
I look forward to talking with you again
in the future.
I look forward to hearing more
...especially about satellite connectivity. That is my big issue at the moment. We have high-speed, business-grade satellite with Direcway, but some companies cannot work with this. Do you know if DRC can?
flash forward
Those were the days! My production dropped significantly when i had to switch from flash forward to shorthand. But at least I have a job!
yep, IC..and looking forward to retiring!
Hoping to get off the merry-go-round next year, am very hopeful anyway.... My New Year's resolution....LOL.
Spring Forward,
Don't know about elsewhere in the US, but here in the east tonight is the night we turn our clocks ahead one hour.
I had some pretty serious medical problems a year ago and was completely out of it from the middle of March to the middle of April so I have no recollection of time during that period. Does anyone recall the exact date that we "sprang" forward last year?
Never liked Gayle, not looking forward to her nm
a
The one I looked forward to...
He did his dictation at home I suppose and every night..."Daddy, stop talking, look at me".....for what seemed like hours on end. Never took the child out, just let her screeeeeaaaam into the mic the entire time, while the wife talked in the background, oblivious to the child...I suppose she was glad someone was taking it off her hands. 
Thank you!! I look forward to recieving it!
t
That and 'pay it forward'
loved that movie too!
Anyone have any fall TV shows you are looking forward to?
Two of my favories: Judging Amy and American Dreams, have both been cancelled. I'm down to ER now - can anybody point me at something that I should be watching? No HBO at our house, just regular satellite programming, broadcast channels. I started to get into Everwood last spring....
Mine was quite a bit more. Hmmm looking forward to that
xx
Was this about the shorthand tips? Looking forward to that.
nm
It does feel good looking forward.
Thanks MTPockets! You bring up a good point. I AM moving on and it is going to be okay. My kids need to see me normal and happy. That's two things my younger two have never seen because he's their daddy. This post became so fun and I love that! Thanks again to everyone to who posted!
Many thanks - look forward to hearing about the keyboard (nm)
Thanks
Pay It Forward........Kevin Spacey....
*Notebook* was also VERY sweet!!!
Isn't THAT pretty straight forward!?
He wants it on there because he wants the transcript to go out NOW!! Perhaps he doesn't have time to read it NOW but you can bet your sweet bippee they read ALL transcripts unless they all have photographic memories, and half these doctors don't even have the common sense to press pause on their digital recorders, so assuming they have photographic memories or just naturally remember what each and every patient's problem is and everything they did for the patient and said to the patient, well, it's a REAL long shot. USE YOUR HEAD. This is common sense!
I'd "accidentally" forward it to a higher up.

New Owner Please Come Forward And Show Yourself
Have you heard the rumor the Writer's Union is the new owner of this board and they will be promoting a Transcription Union? With Google's new Medical Record Depository, the public actually viewing their own records, our skills will be in demand and we can set our own standards of reimbursement. Supply and demand.
Flash Forward SNAFU
Working in WP 5.1 for DOS. System is set up to automatically install Flash Forward when I boot up. As the Flash Forward bar is running, it stops and gives me a pretty blue flashing prompt saying "Attempt to add duplicate Abbreviation: blah, blah, blah. Has anyone experienced this? How do I get out of it? I assume there must be some way to search for and delete the duplicate abbreviation, but beats me all to you-know-what. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Me too, but also looking forward to 24 and that prison show sounds

Please forward the Paypal notification to me and I will check into it.

It is where the doctor tells you to "pull forward" SM
something from the patient's last visit. For example, he will say pull forward my problem list, medications, and allergies from job # whatever and you will go back and copy and paste that into the patient's new report. Sometimes they will make changes and sometimes they won't. I didn't know what it was until 2 years ago when I started an account that did it.
WP5.1, Flash Forward, drooool! I liked Smartype too (NM)

I just forward my calls to my cell and answer that way...
if important. Or I can just get the call on the computer through my email.
Thanks for the replies. He is looking forward to the Tacos in Mexico! He is a great kid. Will Pray!

Pretty cool. I'll be looking forward to a Discovery program about this. nm
