Forgive me, but I'd think the phone book would be SM

In Reply to: I have a QA related question - just curious
the proper resource for a local clinic - didn't you look in the phone book? For the doc, you can google. I work for hospitals in three other states and I have to look that stuff up all the time. You're supposed to use the resources you have, without having QA tell you the obvious. Just my opinion.

Look in your local phone book
Or the phone book of the nearest large city. There are about five transcription services based out of a city near where I live, and it is not exactly a bustling metropolis.
my local phone book used to have several - now Indian names
all sold out. Makes me wonder about going back to IC again on my own - hitting the pavement - finding I'm sure enough dissatisfied customers - but oh the headaches of being by myself.
Dahhhh internet or Dahhhhh local phone book!

Try putting phone book next to pedal so your foot is flat and not angled on heel. NM

Just make a note in your book and go on. Every book I read you can find an error

I would buy book by Dog Whisperer. His TV shows covers things like this and would think his book mi

Forgive me...
Perhaps I'm missing something here, and if so, I apologize. I run a service. If you transcribed for my accounts, you wouldn't be an IC; you'd be a SC. That being the case, nine cents is a good rate given reasonable clarity of the dictators and other factors involved, which are many.
Please forgive me if this has already been said...
I have worked with women involved in domestic violence for the last 15 years. You can call the local police deparment to find the domestic violence advocates in your area. There are shelters where you and your kids and stay. I believe each state may vary on how many days you can stay. These shelters for the most part are secret. The advocates have ways of helping you make a plan to move out safely. They can help you get a potection order, got to court, etc. In the protection order you may request your husband move out. But please keep in mind a protection order is only a piece of paper and doesn't mean your husband won't get upset and break the protection order. The advocates can also be a wonderful support system for you. I hope this will help you. (800) 799-SAFE this is the domestic violence hotline and they can put you touch with someone in your area. Also this website is good...http://www.dvpsh.org/ Just click on "getting help" and there are tons of numbers listed where you can go for help.

after 10 years of marriage, it happened to me too. We divorced, but only because he wanted to be with her more than he wanted to be with me, which is fine...now. It hurt alot at the time and anger ruled my world, but you cannot hold onto that. The only person it hurts is you. You have to move forward instead of staying stuck in the rut of anger and hostility. I forgave him, after the fact. Not that he deserved it, but because I had to let it go...for MY sake. Everybody makes mistakes. Perhaps marrying me in the first place was a mistake. Who knows? But I am happier now...alone, but happy. Hopefully he is too. I did love him, and hating him now would only hurt me, not him, or what he did. Let it go.
Forgive me
Yes I know what HIPAA is - it kept me from visting a friend in the hospital last week. I understand what the person is saying - i don't understand the concern by someone other than an American - you can just ignore my comments if you don't agree or if you feel i am ignorant. this is an open forum - and i abide by the rules - so i feel that i can speak my mind or someone else's if i choose. but thanks for the concern that i am ignorant - that's really one more thing we don't need here - is more ignorance.
Hee hee! I can forgive them nearly anything
if they apologize to me for it. Means they know I'm alive.
Forgive me...sm
but when I first saw your post, I asked myself...is this a joke? Then I read it again and I realized what you were after (I only read the tagline).
I have been an MT for 12 yrs or so and I have used the same expander, same library for 10 of those years. I would not still be an MT if I had not had someone turn me onto an Expander and insist that I use it. As I recall, I was doing about 100 to 115 lines an hour without the expander and with a very few (about 300) autocorrects. (I started using an expander that came with a library of about 13,800 terms and began to tweak it. I have more like 20,000 now.) I went past 150 lph within about 2 weeks, over 175 in a month, over 250 the next month and then I did spend about 4 or 5 months reaching for 300 lph with the expander. I didn't get faster than that for some time because other things needed to catch up...like my "ear" and my working knowledge of medical terminology. It took time because I also was not maximizing my expander and I am still not sure that I am truly maximizing it. I could make better use of it, I am sure. I work full time and for the past 9 days' worth of work I have 16,000 lines and still need to work one more day this week. Without an expander, I would not have half that. I am just not that fast of a typist, but I am expander whiz.
There is a free expander around and it used to be this site that had it, but it isn't any longer. I have a library I am happy to share, but you'd have to put my 20,000 terms in by hand because it does not have a converter.
Please forgive me .. all people who
live in the South are not cut from the same cloth. I have been watching this for a week now and my heart breaks each and every time I see the images on our TV not that far from where **I** live. I was lucky to come from good circumstances, and yet I was taught as a child to NEVER put one person above another and that our good fortune could leave for any number of reasons. This storm took a national treasure and dessimated it because the federal government did not allocate the monies needed to make a jewel of a city safe for its residents and vistors. I really love living in Florida out of the snow and the winters I cannot ever forget, but I guess that Florida in essence represents many of the ills in our society because now it is a melting pot of many people from all over this country and Europe too who come here to enjoy weather and sun. We are destroying this state too in the name of progress and to me, when you wreak havoc on nature .. eventually you pay for it. The universe is about balance and we are ruining it. Humanity is about basic human principle and we have forgotten them. We police the world and we dictate how people should live in our image .. and yet it is tarnished by so many ridiculous things .. like not being willing (because we are certainly able) to care for our own. We are products of our environment and the precepts we were taught as children. My mother and I had many differences while she was alive but I can look still to her and feel pride in what I was taught as a child and I thank her in times like these that she was such a good mother to us and made us understand what is right and what is simply unconscienable. And, lastly, in times like these should we quote Montel Williams or should we go a bit deeper than that and wonder what Jesus is thinking of us now?
No problem, we forgive you.

Forgive me, but isn't that kinda mean?
Besides, my friend has the "collar" for her yorkie and the dang thing yaps right over it. The way I did it with my dog when he was a pup didn't make him "afraid" of barking (knowing he'd get zapped). He just learned that we did not like it when he barked. He also doesn't jump up on people unless I give him the okay and he does NOT lick people. EEEEW.
I didn't rely on gadgets with my dog. I trained him with patience and rewards. Works every time and makes a heck of a better dog.
If you're going to zap a dog when he barks, why not just kick him? The "correction devices" are only made for people that don't want to bother to spend the time.
No I would not. That is the 1 thing I can not forgive.
I told my husband that if he ever cheats I will cut his gonads off - and I mean it. Infidelity is one thing I will not tolerate or live with.
My take is - don't make an A**hole out of me. If that is what you want, tell me and then go to it. Sneaking aorund and everyone in the world knowing what you are doing before me is a bad mistake. If you want to be with someone else - that is fine, just tell me first. I will have less of a problem with that rather than lying to me and sneaking around. I think you all get what I am trying to say.
So, no I would never forgive such behavior or forget it. I also told my husband that will be the one thing I will divorce him over and take him to the cleaners.
Other than that, we are happily married.
I think I could forgive..but not forget.
If either him or I cheated, the trust is gone in the marriage. I think I would forgive him (not right away) as he is the father of my kids and I will always have a relationship with him whether married or not, but I I think at that point, the marriage would be over. That's what marriage is to me, loyalty to each other. I would say he feels the same way. I can forgive anyone, it's just my nature, but I don't forget.
Forgive me if you misunderstood..
I agree that you must be a fast typist in order to make a decent financial living. I just do not think that speed should be placed above accuracy just for speed sake. Speed comes with knowledge, knowledge is obtained by looking over your reports and transcribing correctly.
You might, but some recruiters might not forgive that

Forgive me if this is old news.
Came across this article tonight; while it comes to no conclusions, it's interesting nonetheless. Especially where an executive from a national MT company calls his at-home MTs "overpaid housewives."

Forgive me if you have already attempted this, but
there are certain doctors I speed up very fast and believe it or not I actually understand them better. Others I slow down and have the same affect.
Not to be insulting but have you tried this, do you have easy access to the speed?
Best of luck and you may not believe it but sometimes you can pick up more skills with the more difficult dictators...I started that way with a supervisor (it is funny now but was not then) who gave me every difficult (terrible) dictator for an entire hospital, and it only made me better...
Sorry about the typo - forgive me

well only Extreme Home Makeover was contributory in my post...sorry, I'll read slower next time...
Forgive the last message, but WHAT do I have to do to make 40,000

Forgive an ignorant question
What's a gross line?
Stupid, I know. I really don't know what that is, though. Thanks.
forgive the stupid question, but....
I've never had to deal with this before. There is no way IC's can collect unemployment, right?
Quick Look Drug Book (book & CD/ROM)..sm..
Does anyone use both. I'm definitely getting the CD/ROM and am debating about buying both. I don't see any reason to have both but there could be something I don't know.
I noticed CD/ROMs are on backorder but they're selling downloadable versions. I can handle that.
I admire your ability to forgive and hopefully this will all blow over - however, that being said,
please make sure that Animal Control did not list this as an "incident" so that it may not be used against your dog in the future, even if no charges were filed. A lot of states have a strict "no bite or 3 bite" policy and would not want this to count against your dog later in life. My brother-in-law's dog bit a child when it got tangled up in her bicycle wheels (granted she should not have been that close to the child in the first place), so we've learned to be very careful about our animals.
poll: Would you forgive your husband if he cheated?
Assuming you have children and assumming he seems remorseful, would you save the marriage?
oops. It copied three times. please forgive.
the first few paragraphs should be enough. Don't know how that happened. sorry.
Forgive the typos in post above. I'm tired. nm.

Lord forgive me for saying this, but at the start of this, they interviewed her roommates on CNN, I
think. Maybe Fox. At any rate, the girls were rather "smug" about it all, said that Natalee was quite taken with this Dutch kid and had basically "dumped" her friends the last 2 days to hang all over this guy. When they were asked what was "so special" about him, they said that Natalee was quite flattered that he was paying attention to her, as he was considered the "#1 Catch On the Island"...So, that certainly explains why her friends weren't "covering her back". She had ditched them more or less to be with Romeo. Happened to me a lot in the "old bar hopping days" with my girlfriends. One would hook up with some total stranger, and just dump the rest of us "singles" for the night. Luckily, they all lived, though we did have a scary encounter now and again, this being in Southern Florida.
One late check, I'd forgive, but the 2nd and I'd on my way to the Labor Board. (nm)

C-phone used to call in to dictating systems to receive work. A special phone. nm

I had a lot of trouble with static in my C-phone. I replaced the phone cord and that made a big
difference. Also, have you tried a different headset? Also someone told me one time that there is a microphone under your volume control on the right corner of the C-phone. It's a tiny hole. If you break off a Q-tip and stick that into the hole that will squelch a lot of background noise and that worked as well. As far as getting your C-phone service, I heard that Dictaphone is "sunsetting" C-phones at the end of this year. Meaning, they aren't going to service them anymore as they are considered an obsolete technology. So, I would contact Dictaphone and see what your options are.
I know very little about Lanier equipment. I've not used it as extensively as Dictaphone. Is there a local appliance repair place in your area? You might ask one of those places to take a look at your equipment and see what they think. Kinda scary, cause they could do more harm than good, but maybe worth a shot.
Not much help, I know. But I thought I would share what tiny bit of obscure knowledge I do have.
I've changed them between an old phone and new phone, but the same company, i.e. Nextel.

I use my c-phone whenever we travel. You can hook it directly into your room phone. Be sure and as

The Sted's Ortho & Rehab Words is probably my most used book and then the Lab Words book. GL! nm

Medical Word Book by Sloan, Surgical Word Book by sm
Tessier, Dorland's dictionary, BOS, and my very fave I think is now out of print but called Spellright by Rice.
I think you can dial into most systems that require C-phone without having a C-phone nm

I am wondering if there is a way to use your C-phone with Vonage phone service?

May have to change phone companies, have switched to job using a C-phone. sm
Currently have Embarq (formerly Sprint), and my usage will be going up about 12,000 minutes a month. What phone companies offer really unlimited for a flat rate? TIA.
C-phone and ATT. There is no problem with the C-phone, but ATT wouldn't let me use unlimited.

I have cable phone access and my C-phone works - sm
I am not sure about you problem, because it sounds just like I have mine hooked up. The only thing I can think of is that mine has 2 line hookups in the back of the phone. If you have this too, I would just try the other one, which you probably have already done. Sorry that was not much help. I wish you luck
I have a very loud hum when using my C-phone, but no hum when I'm using the regular phone. SM
Anyone else experience this problem with their C-phone? Is there a problem with my C-phone? At first I thought it was my telelphone line and called the phone company. They sent a technician out to replace the lines and check the house, but the hum is still there on the C-phone.
It's driving me batty!
C-phone info regarding phone lines etc.
I am completely clueless on the subject of a C-phone. Can someone help me understand exactly how this works? Do you have to specifically have a separate "dial up internet" service to use the C-phone? I currently have cable internet and am wondering if there is anything else I need to get. I guess I should contact my phone company. At any rate, any help anyone could give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
If you use a C-phone for work and have a digital phone
through cable, have you tried to take an incoming call?
We only have one phone line. I rarely get/make calls and when I do we have cell phones. I just started working with a C-phone and got digital phone. I can go a month and my phone not ring, so far have gotten 3 calls today, but I'm afraid that if I try to answer the phone that I will lose my report.
I guess I could pull up a report and have my husband call on his C-phone and test it that way and then if I lose it no biggie.
Anyone use/try C-phone with Medicom's phone service?
Wondering if it works?
