   Good thing I proofread!  Otherwise, the report I just finished would've gone through saying,  "There is snotty anterior cervical lymphadenopathy."   

The mental picture I got was of some lumps on the patient's neck which had human faces, all of which had upturned noses and haughty, snobbish expressions! 

I think this job is starting to get to me ----------------  

He gave the date and then said, "Oh and by the way it's my big day today.  #50!  Lucky me!"  Then he said, "Oh and, by the way, you don't need to include that in this report."  He laughed.  Like I was going to.  It's nice to get a funny once in a while. 

I've never had a problem with a dictator saying, "transcriptionist, typist, operator, etc"  They don't understand how the phone system works and that I'm 3000 miles away and not the the Transcriptionist that they used to know by name that worked in the office every day.  They probably feel the same way I do when I get a good dictator that I really like and the dictator says, "Good Morning!" and you can''t say good morning back because they are just a voice out there somewhere.

my ShortHand would type only the first letter of an expansion and then take all the letters away!  I checked and the Type It button is grayed out!  I have restarted the computer and looked on the Shorthand Help menu but can find nothing that applies.  Can anyone please help me ASAP?  I am lost without it!  TIA

I'm skeptical about DQS today.  I have the option of working for one employer running the DQS platform, or my second job with another company, which is not on DQS. 

Since there are no updates from the supervisors, I don't want to log in unless there's a reason.  I'm in the south region. 

I think the idea of the time for posting re this stuff is a good idea.  It's 1:00 PM CST here.

Thanks.

I'm 120 now from previous 150.  I know that doesn't sound like much, but I just make 5 foot 2 if I stand up perfectly straight. So I guess I've lost quite a bit of "butter."

I do have tons of butter on hand to bake with and I bake all the time, but I don't eat the stuff that I make.  I feed it to my tall skinny hubby and all 4 tall skinny kids.  It's just NOT fair!

The cover story should be posted on their online site within a month or so for those who do not receive the printed version as well. 

Is anyone familiar with I chart dictaphone platform?  If so, I would love feedback - negative or positive!   Thanks!

Was wondering if anyone could help me out.  I need to see some example of different ways to set up chart notes.  If anyone knows of a place on the net i can view these of would send me some blanked out that would be great!!!!!

Thanks,

Jackie

It could be better, but could be worse.  Pay is low, but there seems to be plenty of work and pay is on time.  They seem very friendly and tend to leave you alone to do your job.

QA may or may not be "friendly" but do not tell the QA anything that you don't want repeated to the owner.  Pay attention to details and always confirm, in writing by email or otherwise, your understanding of anything important that is discussed in a phone call, especially with regards to the account assignment, pay and contract.  For instance, you may be told that an account with XXX specialty is not available and then find them advertising within just a few days for that same specialty.

They seem to be a bit disorganized, with account specs being rather vague and incomplete.

They are very flexible and allow you to determine your own schedule monthly; however, they do require weekend work.

IMHO, Fast Chart is a pretty good company compared to some of the other choices in the industry right now.

Actually, I understood it a little differently.  Fast Chart seems to have two fees.  The $7.50 per pay period is if you do not commit to at least 13,000 lines per pay period.  There's another larger fee if you do not reach your promised line count, based on the percent of your promised lines that you DO produce.

As an IC, wouldn't these fees be somehow tax deductible?

Is anyone familiar with this platform? Is it compatible with MS Word and Instant Text?

Thanks.

I'm getting paid gross lines right now and my company is going to be using new software which will use 65-char lines.  I'm looking for some sort of chart that shows the difference in $. 

Any help will be gratly appreciated. 

Thanks
