i've been told ...

I dunno much about this neither -- I just do what I'm told.  :/  I use a VPN connection.  when I want to get tech help from the online system, I have to have my wireless laptop hard wired to be connected.   so I was told.  so that's what I do. it seems that might be a clue in the puzzle, but I can't take it any further.  :)

I've told many accounts . . .
I have no problem with people who do it  for less - they know what their work is worth, and clients have come to agree with me and want to come back.  It cost them!
I've been told to use them in one account

and then another account I've been told I use too many....  


So much for trying to be perfect...  


I've always been told to put 2. Even if not paid for - sm
2, since I have to proof-read everything before sending out, and 1 space makes it harder to read, I put 2 for my own ease of editing, in addition to it just looking better and more professional with 2.
I've never been told of any shortcuts to do this. Sure

I've been told by recruiters and HR people that
they've never met anyone who scored 100% before.  I did!  Poor little uneducated lifeguard me.  No little MT certificate.  Oh, no!
You should've just told the person who gave
that you took the clothes you couldn't use to Goodwill and that your other friend bought them at Goodwill. Nothing she could do about that one!!! She'd have to tell Goodwill not to sell stuff to her and you know that wouldn't fly.

You did the right thing, though, and I probably would've done the same. This way you can continue to be friends with both without getting in the middle of things or causing hard feelings. :)
Thanks. I've told the same things to my kids about

Teasers in school.  They just do it because they have no life, no self-esteem and they just try and feed off the misery of others or try to make themselves look better than everyone else.


It's very sad and so pathetic, but it carries on with these types through what is supposed to be adulthood.



I've always been told to put those in even when using 'the patient' for everything

the new platform I will be working on, I just needed to make sure it would work with my Start-Stop. I really did not want to have to get a new media player as well. Thanks again!
I've been told most errors are connection sm
related and media player related.  This is for Windows XP. Remove all media players except the Windows media player.  Wordclient conflicts with other media players.  Also remove any of those browser toolbars like Yahoo. Go into your Control Panel Add or Remove Programs to find them and remove them through the control panel. Then, go to start-run-msconfig and click on the tab marked startup. Uncheck all the boxes except for your virus protection and click okay then restart. I had to do that to get rid of the errors and now I go in once a week to make sure the settings stay.  I seldom have a problem now, maybe once or twice a week, not 10 times a day like I did before.

Don't expect communication from anyone, we are only little "peons."
I use EXText with my current job and I've used at a couple of other jobs I've had. I've ne

used DocQscribe, but I have used Meditech, Cerner, Vianeta, the Precyse platform (I can't remember the name), Dolbey, and  Lanier platform I think was called Cequence (?). 


Out of all the different platforms I have typed on, I have liked EXText the best.  In my opinion, it's very user friendly, easy to learn, and I really like ESP which is the built in abbreviation expander.  Plus it is very easy to create your own normals which I love.  My fingers literally never leave the keyboard because there are macro keys for everything.  You can use your mouse if you prefer or learn the function macros.  I love it.  I think I'm more productive on EXText than with any other platform.


Spell as best you can or blank them and keep going. I've passed many tests when I've left blan

As you can already see, you've come to the wrong board! By using the word professional, you've
excluded about 99% of the population of "whatever" it is that hangs on these boards. Certainly not professional for sure! But you sure are doing a good thing for someone! Its the thought that counts. Sorry you met the dregs right at the start.
HELP! I've turned my screen sideways, I can't straighten it up. I know I've seen sm
this before, but I can't remember what it is.  Do you realize how hard it is to read sideways?  TIA.

I've always verified every line I've typed (I have my ways) -sm
If you're supposed to be paid a certain $/line, that's what you should be getting no matter how they do billing unless of course it's specified in YOUR contract with THEM.

BTW, I've never caught a company cheating me ever.
I've used it. It's the worst piece of crap I've ever seen.
seriously. I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy, or their Vianeta program. Awful, just awful.
Wait until you've been there six months and if you've improved
quality and quantity, I'd say go ahead and ask.  Otherwise I'd say annually...  good luck
I've seen the same every place I've done acute care, and
pointing out dangerous or repeated errors (often in normals for goodness sakes!) never got the result I expected. When I would press the issue, supervisors said if the dictators didn't complain, then the mistakes must not matter!

It didn't matter if the MT changed what had been a cardiac med in the beginning of the report to an antifungal by the end - I kid you NOT! One poor girl used facial for fascial and fascial for facial!


I've used a few expanders, and of those I've used, all must be "coded" to get things lik
One thing I do to get around this, is to create a macro and then link the ShortHand command to the macro. It works for me, but I do the same five clients every day and only have about 20 or 30 macros/Shorthand commands that work like this. This may not work well for you if you have lots of formats and hundreds of docs.
I've been doing this doc for many years, so I've learned how to function with him. sm
I can tell what's a stutter, what's another word, what's just an "uh." Years of experience will get you through a lot.
Wouldn't want to do his charts all day, of course, but a few per day aren't bad. I haven't had to send his to review in a long time, but they do take a little longer to shuffle through.
I've worn contacts for 30 years. I've had both
hard and soft.  My vision is much better with the soft ones than they were with the hard ones.   When I first started trying contacts soft ones were still new and they couldn't get me to 20/20, so I went to hard.  Hard were okay until my eyes started changing shape and then I could no longer wear hard ones.  The soft should give you better vision as they conform more to the shape of your eye. 
I've been a bully; I've been bullied.
I used to sell a lot on eBay. There are some people who buy high-priced items and play games with you. I've had to call them repeatedly, report them to different agencies. It's not fun. You put time and money into the business of selling, and there are people out there who live to manipulate the system and cause trouble.

And, I've been bullied by buyers who made unreasonable demands, insist that they pay by check when you clearly state you don't accept them. It's not fun, and is one of the reasons I don't sell anymore. People!

I've also bought from some sellers who I would not deal with again because of their unprofessional attitude.

But, overall, ebay can be a great place to be.
I've become the man I've always wanted to marry.
I live alone, am 46, never married, no kids, just dogs horses and chickens and just got done building a new house out in the boonies away from the rat race. (Used to live in Manhattan) Couldn't be happier. Selfish maybe, but never out of time, never stressed, and I don't take anything out on others. There's something to be said for being alone but not lonely. I'm not looking for a man to "make me complete." They only sap me of my time, energy and money (how little of it there is with MQ). I consider myself lucky getting to choose my time with friends, and not just stuck with a deadbeat partner. Ladies especially: Be strong and allow yourself to be independent. Any old man will not make you stronger!
I was told
I was told that I could be sued by the client or dr for what I transcribe and the company will not help me in any way. Now I called State Farm and told them what I wanted and they said that due to it being in the medical field they would not cover me....
I was told
the same thing.  Some said they had to wade through stacks of resumes looking for resumes that even remotely came close to meeting  the requirements they posted.  I can see why the best ones don't post their job openings.  I know the company I am working for has offered a referral bonus, they are hiring for all shifts, all hours.  I don't refer people, referral bonus or not, but I would encourage anyone who is not happy to post their resume and pray they are contacted by this company or another equally good one. 
Better to see the doc & be told all's well than (sm)

Have it be appendicitis & run the risk of rupturing.  If you still have your ovaries, could be a cyst/adhesions/whatever.  Or it could be just a strained muscle or something.  If it were me, I'd check with my doc.  Just my opinion, tho'.


Hope you feel better soon, regardless of what it is


someone told me that
she knew a guy who lost about 50 pounds in 3 months by drinking a gallon of water a day plus a gallon of Arizona green tea.  Sounds like he was either overhydrated or bouncing off the walls!  In any event, he was certainly spending a lot of time for pee breaks. 
I was NEVER told anything

I had to be up to speed (12,000 lines) in one payperiod even starting on the new program and new account in order to not have to pay for computer and keep insurance.  NEVER has the office I work out of ever said you could put a note on there and say it is new account and were we given time to get used to a new account.


MQ is for the birds.  No continuity of rules at all.


 


Whoever told you all men are like this? Him? nm

That's what I was told by QA.
They told me that. Don't blame me.
I was told it can't be done

Or maybe we're thinking of different dictionaries. I was asking about the main word dictionary that comes with Stedmans. Is that the one you're referring to, or just the custom dictionary you create?

If it's the main dictionary, I would love to know how you do it. Please share.


I was told to
Shake up a bottle or can of 7up or sprite really, really well.. let it sit a few so it doesn't spray you lol..then warm it up a little bit.  That does the trick for our 20 month old :)
What my doc told me-

"What!!!!! You're upping your rate????? IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!" That was 2 years ago.


Seriously...I have been doing his work for 11 years, always afraid of raising the rate because I knew he always had other sending him letters and calling him. I finally took a deep breath and upped it last year...a whole penny more per line. That's when he made the above statement.


I don't print any of his work. He calls my 800 number to dictate and I PCAnywhere his work to his computer twice a week. It used to be 20 minutes twice a week, now it's up to 40 minutes twice a week.


HE told ME that others want to charge triple what I charge. Well, I can make him happy if he wants me to up my rates again.


He gives me $100 bonus at Christmas and a wonderful card thanking me for the terrific service I provide to him.  I love this guy and would never, ever think about dropping him.  and he told me he would never, ever THINK of dropping me for someone else.


FYI, 11 years ago, I charged him $.15 a line/65 character line, now I charge $.16.  He's one of the fantastic few doctors who appreciate the MT. For that reason, I also appreciate him and send him Omaha Steaks at Christmas (no more than $50).


My vet told me it's HIS job to sm

do anal glands and no one but a vet should do it as it can be tricky and mistakes can cost an owner money and I agree with him. My previous cocker had glands that would plug up and he had a certain way that he would do that caused her no pain and she would need to be on antibiotics for a week after. I've NEVER done my own dog's, always took them to the vet, per HIS recommendation that no one BUT A VET should do glands. Personally, if demand that much from your groomer, then I wouldn't want you for a customer.


what would you do when your 10y/o told you

honestly, I don't know how to handle this without hurting her feelings. please help!! need some good advice. Thanks in advance 


I have not been told
that it is required to switch to VR. I have also not spoken to anyone with that works with the company that was *forced* into doing VR. I have been told that it is an option.
He should have told you before but
as an MT with many years of experience (25), I would not appreciate very much having someone with less than half my experience as my "manager" and QA person.  And I know a lot of seasoned MTs who feel the same way.  Of course I could have the job if I really wanted it and I don't, I just want to transcribe.  But still I expect someone who at least knows as much as me, if not more, to be my supervisor.
She is saying that she was told that
she had a position with a certain company, but was told that she needed to buy a DocShuttle program in order to do her job. Once she bought the program from them, they never contacted her again. She was asking if anyone else had had this experience.
this has been told everywhere sm
That story has circulated around many, many times. Supposedly, the story is not true. You can Google it if you want, but according to research, it is a hoax.
Not what I was told sm
I was told I need one to work for a local company.  I'll just have to call them directly next week.  Thanks!
