I also have mini dachsies .....

I have 2 miniature dachsies, a male and a female.  They're pad trained also.  My male has recently (he's 3, was neutered at 6 mo) started hiking his little short leg occasionally.  I think he does that now because my roommates Min-Pin does (who is also neutered, and is horrible about hiking his darn leg).  I'm fixing to start putting mine back in a crate.  I don't use a crate that's dachsie sized, I use a huge one (the next to largest size).

He has bad separation anxiety, etc, but, it's necessary.  I will just let him (& her) outside when I get home, and we'll stay outside until business is taken care of.    If you want to email me, I have a site that has good tips on training dachsies.  They're stubborn little tykes, but just so gosh darned lovable

    • dog hiking leg - use belly bands - janet mills
    • Thank you for your advice! - mini-dachsund lover
  • Beware - this is MY opinion - WHEW!
    • The only reason a dog would go in the house is if he was - never trained properly!
    • We had the same problem. We had - our dog put to sleep. nm
      • So instead of training him, you thought euthanazia would be a better idea? Tired of people thinking - pets are just disposable property. nm
  • Just a nosy question - why on earth would you not want him to go outside? nm - Becky
    • No problem--I'll answer it! - mini-dachsund lover
      • I can't believe you thing those are good reasons. - Poor pooch.
        • Sorry you don't agree - mini-dachsund lover

                • to be honest, 30 mins may not be - enough exercise
                  • Regarding exercise - another doxie-lover
                    • it could be, it really depends on the dog - he'll let you know if he needs more
                • Exercise isn't the issue here, him lifting leg in house is. Bye, Bye, Pooch, pack your bags.nm - Poor pooch
          • This is MYopinion. - Poor pooch

There are micro, mini and standard transcribers.  Mini are not used very much and sometimes used ones can be a little hard to find but try E-Bay or Craigs list in your area.   We used to have a business that worked on our machines and would rent out machines but since digital came on -- they are out of business.  But on E-Bay you could find one used for under $50 probably.   She should pay for that.  As what to charge, it is not going to be as easy as you think and depending on the minutes on the tape, but if they are 30 minutes each side, expect 10 - 12 pages per tape side if you use Courier 12 and this could run anywhere from $50 to $70 if you charge standard rates.  (10 to 13 cpl).   Now if he is elderly, or if he stutters or pauses a lot it would be less lines but more frustration.   Again, I would at least listen to a few minutes on the recorder and see what it sounds like before taking on the job and don't be surprised if they expect you to do the entire job for about $50 instead of the $200 to $400 it would cost them from anyone else.  I have done seminars, books, statements, etc. and they are always shocked at how much it costs to get them transcribed and the amount of pages it turns out to be. 

That is my two cents for the day.  Patti

what is the "verbal" test entail for transcription radiology?

I have a sony mini-cassette tape that is bunched up on the inside to the point where I can no longer pull it to straighten it out. It is just stuck. This has a full day of dictation on it. Anyone know a gentle way of trying to pry this cassette apart? It's the only way I can straighten up the tape. I did it once before over a year ago and it took 4 hours, but it worked, but I don't remember what I used. I don't know how it happened. I just want to fix it because I'll have to be the one to tell this doctor he has to do his dictation all over and it won't be pretty. Thanks.
