I'm with you, we're all still human beings operating these

It doesnt hurt to say a few words on behalf on someone at the other end.  If you don't have that within yourself, and you don't need it in return, you're a cold and lost person.

You're human. Blanks happen. Should never be penalized for them. nm

I wouldn't take a position that docked for errors. We're all human, not infallible.

Call human resources. I called human resources about it. Sooner or later they will get tired of the
calls and do something about it. Safety in numbers. I have called twice. I forgot to mention the assinine QA point plan though. Mostly I bitched about the no work thing. Told them the new pay plan based on incentive is another joke with no work. Cant make incentive with no work.
Pay their own operating cost sm
This is not for the MT to pay for heaven sakes, this is the MTSO operating expenses, (the cost to do business, it is THEIR CLIENT) It is all a bunch of bull and the MTs are thinking, well--ll okay-yyyy I guess.
operating system not found.;;
Does the bios recognize the harddrive? did you try a bootdisk from bootdisk.com? Also if the harddrive is okay, and win98 (what operating system are you using?) is corrupted, you will need a win98cd or you will need the restore disk that came with the computer
Operating with only one beater in the bowl.

DOS is a pre-Windows operating sytem, it isn't
a platform.  I currently use WP5.1, which is DOS based.    It is difficult to find compatible software sometimes.  Stedman's Spellcheck is no longer available for DOS.  There are some Expanders that are not compatible with DOS.  
Easy for what operating system?
That trick doesn't work with my Vista computer.  Try again.
operating system question(s)

I have been advised recently that my doctor has purchased a new dictating system that will not work with Windows XP Home Edition, and that I will have to purchase Windows XP Pro Edition in order to continue tyiping for this doctor.


I've done some brief research to see if there is an upgrade from Home Edition to Pro Edition, and I haven't found one.  I'm pretty sure there probably is no upgrade, as they appear to be 2 different OPs.   I'm pretty sure I'll have to purchase the Pro Edition full install.  Now, when one changes operating systems, doesn't that entail having to reinstall all other software, quickwords, macros, templates, etc.? 


Actually, with a call to Microsoft, the OS--operating system-- SM
Can be reinstalled on the same computer, in the event of a crash or need to reinstall because of a crash or just cleaning up the computer by reinstalling the OS, or the change to a new motherboard or hard drive, etc. I'm not too knowledgeable on this, but on other IT web sites IT professionals routinely re-install for a fresh system and they CALL the Microsoft # for reauthorization. At least on XP. Which is the way it should be. If my computer crashes, it is still the same computer and the same OS I paid hundreds of dollars for in some cases, so yes, you can install on the same computer. THere would be a mutiny off Windows if you could not. ANd they know this. They ran into this with Vista and had to back down. Computer professionals routinely re-install for a fresh system or when a computer has difficulties.

Don't correct my mistakes on grammar and caps, i didn't proof.
You can still buy some computers with the choice of operating systems.
I know for a fact that you can do this on the Dell website, although not all models offer that option. Your best bet is to find someone who can buy a computer that does what you need it do to, no more and no less. That way you can pay for only what you want/need.
MS does not produce a new operating system every year, trust me on that.

Vista was 5 years in the making, which is pretty much the norm for most reliable Software.


Help with "no operating system found" message sm
Laptop with Windows XP shows "no operating system found" - desktop working. Did this before and comes back with turning on and off, went into "setup" and shows I have so many MB stored on hard drive but cannot get system to boot, misplaced XP CD. This time I cannot get it to come back and depend on laptop at end of day to research, e-mail, etc., as desktop for too many hours is too painful. Any way to get the Windows XP to start up so I can do a system restore to an earlier time? Perhaps an update did this. It is "dead" but everything is still on there, lots of "good stuff" - a Dell so no one else will touch it and I can't get online with them as my other computer is not a Dell.

message re. "no operating system found"
No warranty- a client co. added some software to the XP which was very expensive, i.e., voice, lots of extras I used for over 2 years, "loaded" and it did this to me before but was able to get it back by unplugging, restarting several times.No one else will touch a "Dell" and that co. is closed.  After several "hundred" times I can only do an "F2" and it shows me there is a hard drive with several MB of stuff on there but won't load it, tried everything in the system - hate to lose all this "good" stuff. Is there any way I can transfer my XP from my desktop or run the laptop from my desktop somehow. I think if I could get a startup menu and choose a time to restore it to, like last month or something, I could use it and stop any further "updates" which really mess up things. Gosh, I loved my laptop as it is not "painful" to use and I do have such back pain at end of day, but then I am preaching to the choir about back pain and this job, aren't I? Hate to give up on it when I know there are some good programs on there. Sorry for the rant, I have let this "take over my life" trying to get it to work again. ***$#!**  Thank you!
Vista is just the operating system. You buy the word processing software separate...sm...

A computer's OS (operating system) is only meant for a 1 time install on 1 pc. People like yours

who abuse this are just looking for a cheap break, jack up the price (theoretically speaking) for the rest of us, and are asking for a myriad of problems on their pcs.  To deter this behavior, about 1 year ago, many computer companies ceased to include all software when packaging the pc for shipment.  It is because of software abuse/misuse, computers that are delivered with a pre-installed OS are delivered without the OS + other necessary software, due to behaviors such as yours and many others.  However, if you call the company and verbally request all software: OS (installation CD), as well as other necessary software (tools systems, drivers, diagnostics, utilities, print driver, internet security, and WP/Word/Excel, et al), they will gladly send it to you free of charge.


Human? - sm
To err is human...to scam is criminal....and she will be brought up on charges this time, I will make sure of it.
You must not be a human being.
If you knew a patient's life was in danger you would not be at all concerned?
that is verbatim. QAs are only human too. nm
 
Human responses?

Actually it is the height of human
We are poisoning the earth and ourselves. Nature is amazing in her resilience, but do you know how long it takes the ecosystem to recover from fires and floods? Did you know that fire retardant has been found in human breast milk? What about the amount of pesticides and chemicals in the bloodstreams of infants and children? Denial is the only thing scarier than that. Do the research, it will open your eyes.
Every species EXCEPT HUMAN. nm

Yes, I think it's human nature

Human nature

People generally don't talk about how happy they are on a regular basis. They tend to want to talk to others when something is bothering them, and focus more on the negative. So I guess it makes sense that you don't see a lot of posts that say "Ladeedah, how I love my job and what a stupendous day it is in the transcription world today!" The job is just a means to a happier life, not the definition of a happy life.


Personally, I feel honored that I am in this profession.  Not because of the money or the skill and intelligence that it requires, but primarily because it allows me to be home with my daughter instead of shipping her off to daycare every day for some stranger to screw up. That is why I will deal with the lack of raises, crappy dictators, periodic lack of work, mgmt that is too overworked to care, etc. To be with my baby all the time and still bring in a paycheck, however meager it may be.


They believe ASR is human transcription?

They were all probably told that is why the work is over there and they have to fix our stuff, that way it boosts their egos. 


I still believe it is the other way around.  OH...our ignorant minds.


Do you expect businesses to cease operating because the U.S. work force refuses to provide services?
What will be wanted is that the immigrants pay taxes and that there are no outlaws coming and going. This is all about taxes.
Yes, we are all human BUT my post isn't going to part...

DeVenture & Human Rights
You may want to check out the Bangor Daily News online State page for August 7 of this week. President, Michael Deville was found liable for employee discrimination. Sounds like a great place to work. In addition, that manager you are speaking of most likely has no backbone when it comes to standing up when it's require of her.
You are probably more upset than the doctors will be. They might act tough, but they are human too.

ENFJ here, miss human contact
working at home.
No, I like to feel human thank you. I wear my jeans or better.
I am not the type who wants to go around sloppily all day. It makes all the difference in your outlook as to how you dress and your personality.
Nice job by calling it. Docs are human too.

Its human nature to impose on other people whats right for yourself!

Even when its not asked for.  Maybe some people like to surround themselves with nonsense and chaos, where as I like peace and quiet!  I think people who like working with other people are either pretending or just plain crazy! 


sorry, you are assigning human logic/emotions to animals...
seal mothers do not go nearly insane with fear and pain as they watch their babies being clubbed to death in front of them. - you've got to be kidding. Animals are incapable of the complexities of logic and emotion to get to that conclusion. If you want something to be frantic about, go to Africa and see the abandoned newborn infants piled in chicken wire crates in the hospital. Let's get priorities in order and no, a boy is not a dog or a pig or a rat.


Sorry. I am human and I make mistakes like everyone else. Obviously I meant "two." nm

I'd love to agree, but I can't. I do think some doctors are aware a human being is transcribi
for them, but I think it is far from the majority. 
When I worked for a vet. guy had dog allergy tested and dog was allergic to human dander. No kidding

Anyone know higher-up contact names at Dept. of Health and Human Services..sm
this is who created HIPAA. Anyone willing to email or write any of these people in regard to these offshoring issues and how the doctors should be required to inform the patient when their medical information is leaving the country in order to be transcribed. HIPAA was created with privacy and protection as its main purpose, but ironically once the work leaves the country, this means nothing. The Dept. of Health and Human Services (HIPAA) needs to step up and do the right thing here in the best interest of our country's citizens, while preserving many U.S. transcriptionists who will lose their jobs if no changes are made.

Never said people didn't have typos we are all human BUT the mistakes I stated were NOT typos

I probably QA where you work..hmmmmm


So tell us about her. What type of dog? Funny stories? Sweet stories? Just like when a human pas
sharing of memories can help. I have two dogs, one is 9 and the other 10. I actually cry thinking that something might happen to them, so I cannot imagine how you feel but I do know that "talking" about it can be very healing.
For Pete's sake, you're not terminating a pregnancy, you're just typing a report after the

Hope you're gonna have a glass of wine while you're relaxing

in your spa goodies. Congrats!


Well, you're all complaining that accounts are current and work is low, so, gee, maybe they're
focusing on WORK, as in CLIENT and transcribing, as maybe half of you should be focusing on!!
If you're experienced, try for 9cpl or higher, and you're lucky to get that! nm
