Can you post the web address please?
thanks
No where in my post did I address
I think you need to redirect your comments to the appropriate person. I was not approving or condoning her actions. I really don't think this lady understands why everyone is so upset with her (maybe a little thick). I was simply trying to point out what in her post has made everyone so upset.
I was also trying to offer some legal solutions to her problems. Not to mention, that her kids do deserve kudos for serving their country.
Next time you decide to post, make sure you direct your comments to the right person. Some people get a little too excited on this board and make comments in haste that are often misdirected, as in your case.
re: post about internal clock, there is a web site address
given to us by our MT leader. I've never tried it, but it's supposed to keep the clock in sync. The addresss is www.clock-sync.com/help.html. This may help you with your problem.
post your email address and I will send links to you (nm).
E-mail address removed; please do not post EM addresses. (NM)

What happened to my post below...
I posted about my home-based hospital job and there were replies earlier today, now they've all been deleted. How in the world did THAT cause a thread to go down in flames?
What happened to my post? :(
I posted yesterday about help quitting smoking. I can't imagine how something like that would have gotten nasty. Was it deleted? I didn't even get to see any responses and was really looking for help.
I usually don't post here, but I happened
to spot this conversation and thought I'd chime in. I, too, sometimes wonder how a particular MT gets through the day if they don't know the basics, but I can understand their pain. It brings me back over 20 years when I first started. I actually cried when I first worked in a hospital. I thought I'd never get it? It's hard in the beginning, and I laugh now when I look back at what I DIDN'T KNOW. You have to start somewhere, and this help board should be considered just that - HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT.
What happened to the post re: RadGuy?
I miss him!!
Sorry - do not know what happened to my above post. I press 2 for decrease, 3 for increase. nm

I was not answering MT school post but the one that happened to correct an error
they made on a post with this quote "that is verbatim. QAs are only human too." So you can mind your own business and STFU. Answer your own posts if you can't read the ENTIRE THREAD and understand what post my post is RELEVANT too. You are an arrogant QA person BTW who sits in judgement of posters and what is relevant or not. Just MIND YOUR BUSINESS.
Sorry. Not sure what happened to the rest of my post - supposed to say BBB and District Attorney -
Office for nonpayment by an MTSO. I live in a different state. The amount is also less than $100. Thanks.
Well by the looks of the class of people who have entered this
I think the majority of them actually are of an unskilled factory worker caliber. You see people on here with no respect for education and who resent others who do have degrees, you see people on here who are often at the doors of destitution and can't think outside the box to improve their quality of life, you see people living with relatives because they can't even afford a home of their own be it rented or owned, you see people on here who are bragging about their husbands making 10 dollars an hour as if that's really good money. Scary what's happened to the MT world. This used to be a respectable job, but not any more. It started going downhill when we left the hospitals and started working at home, which was good for us from a convenience standpoint, but it made a lot of people let themselves go physically since they didn't have to leave the house, it started attracting the socially inept because they didn't want to leave the house either, and the solitude of it all just made a lot of people miserable and angry. No thanks.
Back to school for me!
it is still being entered by people, and there will still be mistakes (NM)

Meditec??? I entered for that last week.
Sorry, just confused.
I think it was when PC's entered the scene. Then we were at the mercy of the programmers.NM)

clueless
No, they sure don't. But then again, I have to remember doing this on a typewriter........ then I would have had to do the whole thing over instead of just going back and editing. Small comfort anyway :)
sorry for being clueless here but
where are you guys seeing where all the MT week prizes are?
Clueless
I think you are right - the MD's in a hospital setting very well may not know who/where there dictations are going to as it is the hospital's decision to contract with a company.
If a patient sits down to check in at hospital and is presented with a release/consent form to sign stating that they agree to have their medical record information sent overseas, THEN you will see results.
I have a letter in the works to my state senators. I don't know who else to send it to. The news media? The whole thing makes me sick.
I am paying for services rendered when I go for medical treatment and the last thing I want to do is contribute to the wealth of an offshore transcription company to have access to my information and potentially screw up my report because they don't understand the nuances of the English language. How many doctors sign off on reports without reading them? That's a whole different thread, and that particular topic makes me absolutely crazy!
clueless
Absolutely, its happening in my office also. I have been there for 4 years, from the beginning. I set up the dictation system, worked with IT, MDs etc to make this work correctly. Then set up the transcriptionists with a global pool. The most of the work was done in 24 to 36. Now, new girl wants to reinvent the wheel.. going back to one person at each facility... Then, good portion of the work is given to an IC. I had to release most of my part time coverage because of internal issues, but of course its all due to transcription. I am so sick of hearing this. My job is done when the doc signs off on the report. What happens in the file room is another story. Reports not faxed to MD or copies in the charts.
What I really wanted to tell the OM is to sit and do my job for the day, take the dozens of calls because your help can't use a computer to located something and try to produce quality work.
Loyalty can only go so far..I may have to jump ship soon.
clueless
Maybe someone can help me figure out exactly what my employer is asking for here -- because I certainly can't seem to wrap my brain around it. I work for an EXTREMELY busy cardiologist who is, quite frankly, quite spoiled (more than the norm) and bascially wants to be spoon-fed everything. As it stands now, he doesn't dictate anything at all; he writes everything down (or his nurse does) and I transcribe from written copy. However, he has received several complaints from lots of different sources regarding horrible handwriting, and he has come up with what he thinks is the bright idea of having someone follow him around - everywhere - with a laptop to record everything he says, freeing him from having to write down anything. Now, in our main clinic and satellite cllinics, I can see this as doable; we have laptops in each exam room with SOAPWARE installed, an electronic patient record system. I can see him having someone in there to do this as he speaks. But he isn't wanting to stop there. He wants someone to follow him as he makes his rounds at the hospital, sees patients in the ER, etc., and I cannot figure out how this can be practical. It seems like he wants to dictate, right? That's what it logically sounds like. I suggested this. No, no, he says. That will cause a "delay". What??? How would following him around with a laptop be any better, when you figure that you still have to dock someplace to print it off and give it to the hospital staff. It makes me tired to even think about trying to follow this hyper physician around 18 hours a day (which is what he would expect). I think the man is crazy, to be honest. But I'm wondering, has anyone known of any physician to take on such an endeavor as this? I just can't seem to grasp the whole idea of what he wants, and I can't hold him still long enough to get him to really explain himself. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance
clueless
You're so right on the money! A personal assistant DOES seem to be what he wants. I suggested the hand held digital recorder to him but in his own mind it's not the same thing (when all of us know that it really would be). yes, he's quite spoiled.
I am a very social person and I entered this job at home because it paid more money
than the jobs in the office and I was a single parent. I just learned to balance my life outside the work environment with things that did allow me to use my social skills
I never heard of line counts until the MT services entered the picture.
We got our work done every day without being monitored or treated like children who needed to have their work checked.
Never heard of QA either.
Those were the days.
Clueless but not completely
I’m somewhat clueless and really don’t know what to do. I have over 5 years of distant (1973-1978) orthopedic experience, before MT was a hot item and have been working as an IC for one person for 2.5 years, doing mainly Urology and Urology-related Radiology. I have not had formal MT training. In reading all these board messages I don’t totally get it, i.e. Acute care, what is it? I just found out what the Basic 4 are. I feel like a moron even though I know I’m not. Nonetheless, I’m not getting enough work, have submitted a few resumes to a few sites. Am wondering if I need to get formal training/certification. I was lucky to get what I did without the certification, but I’m ready to go further in terms of specialities, OP reports, consultations, etc. But, I am apprehensive about the whole enchilada. Is anyone out there who has been in my shoes? Any advice and/or recommendations would be appreciated.
Laptops - I am clueless!
Sorry if this is a really dumb question but are all laptops equipped for headsets and foot pedals? I hate all my wires and am considering going with a laptop and wireless connection to do my work but I'm not sure if you can plug in your foot pedal and headset? 
I am so clueless about DVI, C-phone,
I see an ad for work and he is requiring a DVI or c-phone. I have worked on a Lanier before but can't tell you what model. Does it even matter. I bought a DVI system from transcriptiongear.com and had to return it. It was not compatible with what the company was looking for. Can anyone shed some light on this. I am thinking if I purchased the Lanier it will work for whatever situation, but not sure if the model matters. Also, how is it different from DVI or C-phone?
TIA.
If you make a donation, you are entered for the Sees candy? Monitor should answer this.

Another clueless statement made.
There are LOTS of MTs out that there will say ANYTHING and promise ANYTHING until the time comes to get the work done.
References are generally used for employee situations and the company will only be given information on people who will give a favorable reference.
In business, the customer comes first. Any IC worth anything will understand that and make sure that their customer (the company) is happy; otherwise, they won't have customers.
Silly you.
Thanks everyone for your help. I am wanting to go wireless and am clueless.

They're clueless about tense
I want to know how anybody with such a pathetic grasp of sentence structure can make it through med school?!!?!? Appears they've never heard of the word "an", hence "a" enema, "a" 8-French catheter, etc.. Never make the tense or verb agree. They spell words that are new to them but I've typed a thousand times. They whisper, mumble and drop syllables. But they all spell out 'n-o NO" every time they use it (unless that syllable gets dropped).
And the women - 3/4 of them apologize at least once a sentence whether they make a mistake or not! "The patient had - I'm sorry - the patient had a history of diabetes - I'm sorry, the patient had a history of diabetes mellitus". ARRGH!
One chick in particular I just want to shake until her teeth rattle - ESL, she speaks until her breath runs out, takes a deep breath, and does it again, putting the wrong stress on syllables for even the most normal words "dem ON strate" for "DEM on strate" - and every dang time she dictates multiple views "axial T2, axial T1, etc.' - says "was" performed, not "were". At least a couple times a day I catch myself yelling "its PLEURAL you stupid @)$(#)*!". Oh, for 5 minutes alone with her to beat it into her head, that's all I ask!!!
The problem with this field today is that those in charge are clueless.
They are only interested in TAT, not quality. People who have some useless initials behind their name and they're the ones who make the decisions that affect all of us. They have no idea what is correct and what isn't. As long as the reports get done and in the chart that's good enough for them. They have their cushy jobs and tons of money and us going crippled for slave wages and all is good with their world. Things will only get worse, and I doubt they'll get better. I am trying to think of other options. Don't have any idea what, but I can't take this abuse anymore.
Help that is with the address bar
see above....
IP address?
Satellite will be through Wild Blue (dish) Ok, what do you mean by static IP. Is this something i ask them for?
Should just post all their open positions in one post and only be allowed to post one of those a day
nm
What is the site address?
//
again, I did only address certain MQrs (sm)
and again, the ones who continuously whine and complain regarding MQ-this and MQ-that, it's nerve racking! My point, and this is the last time I will state it, is it is embarassing FOR ME, mind you, speaking for no one else here, to be associated with these whiny babies! Simple enough for ya? I am not backtracking at all, I simply retracted one word that seems to have gotten SOME OF YA riled up! So there, and I am NOT AND WILL NEVER BE a Clinton fan. That ticks me off more than anything anyone could say to me!
Anyone out there who works for MQ agree with me? Please come to my defense!
I have address resources available, but
the dictating physician will often forget to say the doctor's first name, and there will be 20 Dr. So-and-sos listed. Or they spell the easy names like Smith, but not the difficult ones that they mangle the pronunciation on. Then they carbon copy six different physicians. I've got the hospital directory, online hospital website, online physician address lookup, Google, and other resources, but it's still very time consuming.
I'm thinking I like Meditech better. LOL At least everything was in there. F7, F10, arrow down, save, you're done.
E-mail address
I will be glad to send you a copy of the E-mail that they sent me. But everyother time anyone has E-mailed me from this board it always states either in the subject line or somewhere that it is in response to a post on the board. This definitely was not and there is nowhere else that Spheris could have gotten my address and see above there was someone else that got it also. So they are getting it someway.
Internet address
Hello. I was wondering if anyone knew how to delete internet addresses that are seen when you hit the drop down box. I have a bunch of them that aren't valid anymore, and I want to get rid of them. Sorry, I don't know the technical wording, but hopefully you know what I mean. Thanks.
This will be the last time I will address
this because you are all so stupid you can't get it through your brains (?), I am one person and that is it. I say exactly what I want. I don't need anybody elses help on this board.
Can the ISP track to an address?
I didn't think it could. That would be great though. I feel bad for this person.
address change
https://moversguide.usps.com/
Not sure this is what you are looking for.
Sorry leaving address
I have almost five years experience, still probably considered a newbie when I see some with almost 5 to 6 times that much. But I just wanted to email someone who knows more about transcriptions companies than I do at present.
just need your your e-mail address
The Quick Reference (PDF format) I send via email. The manual is too large so I'll give you a link to go to and download it from.
Your e-mail address is ALL SHE NEEDS. (nt)
If I could address both posters ... sm
ALS: I read your post to my husband, who works on computers for a living, and he said it sounds like you lost an entire partition. I know that's not helpful and probably something you already figured out, but just wanted to offer something here. He also suggested running a virus scan as it sounds like something a virus might have caused. I sincerely wish you luck and hope that your files can be recovered. You might want to consult a local technician.
To the other poster: I am so sorry for your losses and I can't begin to imagine what you and your children have gone through. It sounds like today was difficult, to say the least. I think we've all been guilty at one time or another for saying something maybe we shouldn't have because of something going on within ourselves. I also send you sincere good wishes.
Do you have the exact web address? Please em it to me. Thanks! nm
