Yes! But this was not in MT - I quit to move and - sm
get married. My boss was okay at first with it until he found out I got a job with a minor competitor - in another state; made my life a living *ell after that (I gave 4 weeks notice as I was a pretty key person there). He took it totally personally that I was leaving. He also had no sense or decency. Once after coming back from overseas he came into my office with a large bag of gifts for key/important employees, I made the mistake of assuming he had gotten something for me (I did about 4 people's jobs and was his personal assistant) and had lite up with a big smile. He immediately squashed it and said that there was nothing for me. He was such a scrooge and a *erk. I remember wanting to quit so badly that my parents told me to quit and that they'd support me until I found a new job. I never did take them up on that offer but was sorely tempted. I work for some great people now and in no way miss the *erks out there.
Allegiant has clinic accounts and is busy, busy, busy
If you're an IC and are looking for plenty of work, freedom to set your own hours, low daily line requirement (500), great supervisors, and easy clinic accounts, then Allegiant may be the right company for you. You can apply by going to www.allegianttranscription.com.
Allegiant's pay scale is 7 cpl also, but would you rather get 7 cpl and easily transcribe 250 lph or get 10 cpl and struggle to do 150 lph. Give me 7 cpl any day and spare me the headache.
The docs are so busy with their own work (sm)
and keeping up the hectic schedules forced upon them by the suits in management at their establishments (i.e., the "run 'em in, run 'em out" 10-minute patient visit slots) that I'm sure some of them don't even know who the current President is.
I agree...I have been busy with work all summer

Well, work is super busy..so not much time..no harm no foul..sm
Working 14 hours a day puts a cramp into watching the news lately, so have not seen much, nor had much time to really think about it. Did the donation through both of our work, caught a bit of news...but I cannot help anymore by sitting in front of a television, so a bit slow on the news intake here.
The place I work for went from no patient names at all to
now it is accepted and used all the time. Go figure!
I work an account that the doctor names scare you half the death, sm
all foreign names, but the voices are pure heaven - very clear and good enunciation, even the one that have a tangible accident. I feel lucky to have an ESL account like that.
I know a PA from South Carolina at a hospital I used to work at that would bring you to tears. ESL is not necessarily a bad thing.
They better soon get some work or everyone will quit anyway. This is getting ridiculous. There is no
doubt they have some agenda with all this continuous hiring and no work.
Coding will be automated too.
My previous employer was working on a project with an EMR where an MT/editor/coder could work in templates that would create a medical record and automatically assign a diagnosis and procedure code as the record was processed.
I will quit my job with an MTSO outsourcer and come to work for you
I would be glad to make a parallel move in order to work for a U.S. work force loyal MT company.
Yes, they can quit their job, go self-employed or IC, and work under the table.
However, the courts aren't stupid. There is a worksheet the judge does based on the past several years' worth of taxes that XX is the amount this person is capable of making, so therefore XIX is their child support amount. It's legal and binding. There's no changing it by trying to scam the system. It is difficult to enforce but that's why our state has deadbeat parent laws. My friend's ex wound up in jail with liens against all of his property for not paying his child support.
ASR = Automated Speech Recognition
If you are using an automated numberd list
the numbers will not highlight when you select to Copy but should Paste just fine.
Also it depends on what you are trying to paste it into.
I would quit. I work part time and only make about
$250 a week. Just having become a grandma would influence my decision! I can't keep my hands off the little one! 1K a week would suite me just fine! To bad I don't play the lottery.

She automated by inserting those MS Word commands
into a SH entry. Try Productivity Talk for lots of ways to do this.
I am extremely curious as to what new hires do when they find out they have not work. Do they quit,
do they get transferred, what happens to them.
Just say it's not going to work out, quit, and send the stuff back. Not like you'll be using t

Okay, quit bragging and hire someone then. Lots of people need work. nm

Quit after 2 years. If I wanted to work 8 hours a day, I would have stayed in the hospital. Seemed
to be working all day long just to make a decent living. Although, I wanted to be home with my kids until the baby was at least 5, had to breakdown and return to working outside the home, to make ends meet. Just to stressfull trying to make a good living with the rates they are paying now.
True. If someone offers automated software that's integrated with Word, like ExText, ChartScript,

she was too busy for you the way you are often too busy for her...what's the question? nm

I quit once for 3 years, but then started again. (Quit cold turkey when I did)
Why dont you stop coming in and agitating everyone under all your different names. Dont you work.
:
I quit two months ago. I tried to quit for over a year, but I just had to be ready.
I tried the patch, NRT gum, Zyban, everything. One morning, I woke up and just quit cold turkey. There are some good online support groups out there that can help you when you're ready.
ALSO IF THEY WERE GOING TO QUIT SE, THEY WOULD QUIT ADVERTISING TO HIRE SE
And I have seen a new ad in the magazine Advance that has a sign on bonus for SE's, maybe just better pay, let's think positive!!
Underscoring lists......sm
I don't think there is any hard and fast rule regarding this. Your client obviously isn't BOS obsessed as "any" underscoring in a list is a no no. If underscoring is an account specific rule, I personally would underscore the title only. The easiest solution is to check some previous reports and just follow suit, or better yet .. ask.
I am not sure about the waiting lists here yet,
but I do know that the program only takes so many students. That will probably be another thing I will have to factor in too. Great tip on taking the electives while waiting though. I am only going for the associate's degree as well. Are you interested in going into psych too?
When people use last names for first names.
You can't tell what sex the person is, and it just sounds so pretentious and stupid.

Really soap-operaish and annoying.
Rad reports with dem info lists
My first remote job typing rad reports was for a local agency who provided such a great interface with the hospital, all I had to do was put in the job # from the dictaphone and all fields would fill in, then go right to typing in WP using all my short-cut keys. A lot of the reports were short, some long, and I wound up making really good $ that way for years. Then they went to VR (sigh). That's the way to go if you can get it; I won't put in multiple steps I'm not paid to to put in.  Good luck.

Turning numbering on and off for lists
Does anyone know the keystroke commands or if they even exist to turn numbering off and on for lists? I hate having to use the mouse to point at the menu and going that route!

Expander that lists next to cursor
I would like to know if there is an Expander out there that will actually list the expansion next to our cursors while we type so we do not have to look down at the bottom of the monitor to see the expansion. I know if the expansions popped up in front of me I would use them more. Just curious
Numbered lists in MS Word... How do you
Make the list NOT indent? I want it to stay flush on the right with the rest of the paragraphs? I feel like this should be something easy and I am just spacing out!
Portability of short-cut lists
You may want to get an Expander program like ShortHand or Instant Text. They allow you to use your short-cut list(s) in any application you type in, and you will never have to redo your list(s) when you change accounts or company platforms.
Portability of abbreviation lists
Your question raises the portability of abbreviation lists when you use different trascription platforms.
Each platform offers a utility where you can create your list of abbreviations, but you don't want to start over and over each time you change platforms.
The solution to this problem is that EITHER these platforms provide you with another utility that lets you convert your list to their format OR you invest in an Expander software like ShortHand or Instant Text that let you use your list practically on all platforms.
With Instant Text you can import your AutoCorrect with a few clicks and then you can use it with EMDAT or any other platform.
Your time is worth money. You may want to evaluate how much it is worth by calculating how much time it takes to redo your list.
I always defer to Dorland's, which lists
curet as the preferred spelling. Neither is incorrect. Curette is more characters and I supposed over years and years that could add up. Maybe I should switch to curette.
Where did you find the lists for Autotext?
I did not see any lists for autotext for free or ones that could be ordered. Where did you find them? Can you give me a link? Thanks
Word lists more than one .acl file so you want to be...
sure you find the correct one for your version of Word. Each version names that file differently. There are also different language .acl files.
How to quickly number med lists?
What is the quickest way to number a medication list? We have to number all of a patient's medications in a vertical list (voice recognition). - very time consuming - slowing me down. Any MT's found a fast way to number medications and put in a straight list on left margin QUICKLY? This is ridiculous. The voice recognition correctly or incorrectly gives the medications, but it is very slow numbering them and putting them in a vertical list -and we are required to do that. Any help would be appreciated!
Once you are real good, you can think about supper, lists,
I know that sounds nonproductive and error prone, but it's entirely doable. The work can take up your limbic system, and your upper cortex can solve the problems of the world. I can read notices on my cubby wall, and never falter typing, and get it perfectly right.
AOL lists today that MT is one of highest WAH jobs!!
Look at the model they used...that's sure what the average MT looks like! LOL

Make your expander lists portable
The esp file can be saved as mentioned.
The next step is to make it work in Bayscribe. One solution is to use Instant Text and import your esp file. Once your Expander file is an Instant Text glossary, it is portable and you can use it on any MTSO transcription platform.

Yes, I bought it and you can either buy the lists for Instant Text
or ShortHand I believe, when you buy it, it gives you the option of what word Expander you want to use it with. Unfortunately, I never did use it. First of all, I couldn't get used to it and the rules with how to bring up a word. I think it was something like if a word is 4 or more letters, use the first 2 letters to bring it up, and then another rule if the word is 5 or more letters, bring up the first and then last letter of the word...so on and so on. I have found that I have my own way of shortcuts and can't use someone's else's method. Now I just use Shorthand and auto text in Emdat, and that' s working for me. It might work for you, just in order to get the full benefit, you have to follow his rules for it, and that is where my mind couldn't go.

Enumerated lists and underlining for headings in exam
I was wondering if any of you can help me, and possibly even give me a reference, regarding enumerated lists, specifially in an exam. Example is:
1. General Comments:
2. Response to Medication:
3. Medication Compliance:
Etc.
What I am wondering is the clinic likes the section to be underscored (i.e., General Comments); however, should the underscore include the number or just the words titling that section? I have been doing the latter; however, the person I share the account with underlines both the number and title.
Thanks for your help.

We don't have to SAVE lists of mistakes to refer back to. They are readily available at any given
Believe it or not, that's the kind of stuff we see all day long on a daily basis. Your resentment for QA is shining through. Perhaps you recognize some of these errors....
ExtText by Dictaphone -- Word 2000 - won't capitalize when making a new paragraph or after lists?
Hi. I am new at a job. The Word 2000 running in ExtText (Dictaphone) will not capitalize at the beginning of a new paragraph (never had that happen before), nor after numbers in an automatic list, and sometimes even just after plain periods, not just periods used in numbers (like hemoglobin 7.5).
What is going on? It works fine in the Word version on my computer, but when it ties with ExtText, it "forgets" to capitalize. It is especially annoying with lists, and also at the first of paragraphs, I never had to babysit that before.
Any help? TX
Tools, AutoCorrect, Autoformat as you Type, uncheck Automatic numbered lists. nm
