We are expected to follow AAMT unless client profile states otherwise or marked down by QA for it, s

no hyphen but Client Profile comes first...SM
Too lengthy to type here - but if you can get to a BOS (Book of Style) it covers hyphens from pages 207-211 in their entirety!!
go to settings...control tab...follow instructions there....
nm
do you have Accounts Specifics written instructions to follow?
nm
Always follow client's directions
The BOS is a guide. Client preferences always override the BOS. The BOS is quite helpful in many ways, though, so don't ignore it completely.
Followup (or follow-up) for noun/adj. Follow up for verb. nm

Bravo! 1 cm no 1-cm. Follow-up no follow up. 1 mg no 1mg. 1 space after period, no 2. S

someone here has him on their profile
You can see it in their posts, but I can't remember who has it on there.
IC profile
Working as an independent contractor in this field or any other field for that matter, requires a certain set of attributes - namely, a good business head, being analytical, having boundless energy, professionalism, talent in your expertise, and total confidence. You also have to be able to roll with the punches. Mind you, having a good business head and being a good medical Transcriptionist may not necessary always go together. I have all too often observed excellent transcriptionists who were not good business people, but had one goal in mind - to have a business doing transcription, and they would fail and wonder why. Also, the personality profile of a medical transcripitonist may encompass an individual who will go to the ends of the earth to get things "right," who will persist even when working with others who will take advantage of them. Many of us are anal about details, and let's face it, this is tedious, fine-detailed work that requires consuming attention. The medical field is a hostile and negative environment today, and many transcriptionists feel they need to stay in that environment. JMO.
I have a profile
I am 34 and have a profile. I'm not trashy or sleazy (for whoever said that in an earlier post). I am female and have found a lot of people from high school and even a few from grade school on there. I have my profile set to private also, only if you are my friend can you see my profile. There is lots of crap out there on myspace, just as with any other website but I don't think it's all bad. I don't use mine for evil lol I use it to keep in touch.
I agree with the person who said it's okay for your kids to be online as long as you monitor. I have an 11 y/o daughter and she is allowed online but there are rules and yes I do check up on her. She doesn't have a myspace and won't be allowed to have one for a few years. Luckily she's never asked, I don't think she's really discovered it yet. I think these days constant monitoring of your kids' activities online is a must.
I am 26 and have a profile...
I'm not a phone person, but rather keep in touch with my friends that way. My mother-in-law is in her 50s and has a profile, as does her son who is another state away. I can post blogs and pictures to keep in touch with my friends and family. I love it and I am not trashy or creepy. I also have mine set to private though, so you can only see it if you are on my friend's list. I also use it to keep up with bands that are playing in my town that I like. It has many uses. I agree a lot of kids are on there and a little out of control, but that's not my problem. My kid won't be on there with her clothes off at 14! My little brother also has a site and has a Christian band he is networking on there. My step-mom monitors him though. There have been sexual predators on the internet a long time before myspace came around.
Testing profile
:)
Yahoo profile - how do you look up? n/m
?
Dictaphone profile
I believe that this can be set in your user profile at your company. This is where they program backspace time, the work pools you are in, etc. If the system is not ancient, it should give you that feed if your profile is set for it.
I believe this something that is specific to your user profile, and ... SM
that is something your supervisor or manager would have to manually change within your profile.
A psychological profile? Eewwww. To me
that would be creepy and kind of invasive. If you don't hear back I have a feeling that is a good thing. It was nice of you to answer those questions, but come on, why get personal with the interview process, either you know transcription or you don't, and an objective test would be enough as far as I am concerned. Sounds yucky. Just IMHO.
I try to keep a low profile about $ and I am "always" going home to work sm
I have friend who has been with me a couple of times when my check has arrived in the mail. WOW he says, is that for ONLY TWO WEEKS? or that for the month? Ummm 2 weeks. OMG! Then, he says, but I know how hard you work. You are always working, more hours than I could possibly stand at a desk in the house. Truth is, I work about 5-6 hours a day, actual butt is in the chair, hands are moving time. I am not one to sit for more than a couple of hours without getting up (never last even that long) and I put in the 5-6 hours of actual typing time over about 10 hrs and I only do about 1600-1700 a day and I never push myself. (Just remember, I am lazy.)
I cultivate the perception that I am quite overworked, terribly underpaid (9.5 cents a line), very tired, always working, can't afford to wear anything other than tatty sweats and might not be able to afford that cup of coffee I am in the store to get. Most people think I work like a slave for about $2 an hour and I am starving and dying. They NEVER ask about being an MT!!!! LOL
Sorry to hijack this thread, but is that Nick Nolte on your profile picture? sm
If so, he's looking kinda rough! JMO, of course. ![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/smile.gif)

Plug the other end of this cable into your telephone jack. • Plug Power Supply into wall outlet. • The VTI will now undergo a self test; all of the lights will come on momentarily and begin blinking. After a few seconds all lights will go out EXCEPT the TA and VD lights. These will remain on. (the letters identifying these lights are read from top to bottom, not left to right) You are now ready to Program your Station to call into the Lanier system and begin transcribing. Go to the Programming Instructions, and with the help of your Supervisor or Client, program the Codes and Telephone numbers that they want you to use, into the LX-219. AFTER programming is complete, use the following instructions to begin using the Transcriber.

Instructions -sm
This is for WORD 2003. Just follow the steps EXACTLY as outlined.
1. Open a plain word document and type your ??. (A couple of sets with one set per line).
2. Go to Tools>Macro>Record New Macro
3. Name your Macro (type it in the box) Mine is named "jump". (Make sure in the second box, it says NORMAL template or normal.dot.)
4. Click the Keyboard button - choose the keyboad combination you want to use (I use ALT+J) Click Assign.
5. You should see a little button floating around that looks like a tape somewhere on your screen. Don't touch it yet. Instead, Go to Edit>Find and type in ??.
6. Hit find next (you should be seeing your ?? being highlighted while you are doing this.) Click the cancel button on that same window.
7. Go to Tools>Macro>stop recording.
Type in a few ?? sets and hit your shortcut combination to make sure it works.
If you have trouble with this, feel free to e-mail. I make these all the time. :)
Instructions
If you set a tap stop where you want the DOB on the same line you should be okay. In sounds like there are spaces there instead. Set your tab point by clicking on the ruler at the top. Retype your patient title then tab and put the DOB title. If this does not work, feel free to email. I am workin all day. :)
there are instructions
in the system on how to do this.
I'm sure most of you get instructions like this
from your employers:
The BOS is to be followed, except when it differs from this company's style guide and except when also not in conflict with the site specific information of the client.
So, you check the site notes from the hospital and if the question is not answered there, you check your company's style guide, and then if there is still no answer you do what the BOS says to do.
Does this make any sense? Making us consult three different references for the answer to one simple question? Do the MTs in Indiastan have to do this? Or do they get a pass because they work so cheap?
NSS: Here's the macro instructions
In a Word document, type a few words, like a diagnosis on a line. Leave your cursor at the end of the line.
Click TOOLS, MACRO, RECORD NEW
A window called Record Macro pops up. I suggest you put a name in the "Macro Name" field. (Hint: No spaces allowed in the name.)
Click KEYBOARD to assign it to the keyboard.
A window called "Customize Keyboard" pops up. In the field "press new shortcut key", press what you want as the shortcut. (Hint: I use ALT+N so I can remember it for numbering.) That key combination you type should populate that field.
Click ASSIGN, CLOSE
You will be back at your document (your cursor still at the end of the line of text you typed) and there will be a small window called "Stop" that has a solid square (the STOP RECORDING button) and another symbol (PAUSE RECORDING button). At this point, every single thing you do is being recorded!
Press the HOME key (to put cursor at the beginning of the line).
Press the 1. keys and space twice (or however many times you space between your number/period for your account).
Press the END key (to return cursor to end of the line of text).
Press the RETURN key.
Press the 2. keys and space twice (or, again, however many spaces you put between your number/period for your account).
Click the STOP RECORDING button in the little window.
Your macro is complete. I suggest you try it out. Skip down a few lines and type a line of text. At the end of that text, hit your macro shortcut. It should run (you won't see it do anything but make the changes you recorded) and automatically go to the beginning of the line, number it as 1 with a period and spaces, and return at the end of your text and start the number 2, period, spaces and be ready for more text!! Email me if you have problems.
NOTE: This will only work if the text you type is only 1 line long. If it word-wraps to a second line, this will not work...you will just have to manually return to the beginning of the line and number.
More ideas for building macros, at least the ones I use most:
-- macro to increase the zoom to a certain percentage (I use 110%)
-- macro to scroll down 1 frame or page
-- macro to copy the preoperative diagnosis heading, the 1-line text below it, return a line blank and type postoperative diagnosis heading and paste (for when the dictation is for "postoperative diagnosis same"). I use ALT+; for postoperative diagnosis and ALT+' for postop diagnosis
-- macro to copy the physician names/credentials in the signature block and search for the header for SURGEON and fill it in, putting it in all capitals, etc.
Just a handful of ideas I use. Hope these help.
I think you can d/l instructions from their web site. NM
.
Instructions inside (sm)
You have to right arrow on HISTORY when you are completely finished your report (it's in the demographic screen). This will sign this report to you, it adds your initials and that way no one can go in and get credit for it. Hope this helps.
Can't you post the instructions here instead

And if you read the instructions (sm)
it will tell you that you cannot use that to file with.
Doc asking for instructions on dictation
A wounderful young man at my church is in his 2nd year of general surgery residency. When he found out what I did for a living, he asked me if I would please help him with his dictation and give him some pointers so that he could do better on his dictation. No one had critiqued him and he wanted to be sure it was o.k. Now THAT'S a good guy. He's a good Christian, he'll be a good doctor, and I know he won't ever change. You cynical so and so's just keep your opinion to yourselves. This was so refreshing to be asked for help like this. It made my day.
Meditech instructions
Could someone be nice enough to help me find some instructions for shortcuts or commands in Meditech. I have asked employer and only get a few basic ones. Where can I look?
So, did my instructions work?

I sent you email with instructions

Instructions ...see inside
Go to Tools, Templates and Add Ins. Click Add. Browse and select support.doc (Program filesMicrosoft officeoffice 11Macros folder) Click OK twice. Then to run it, choose tools, Macros, Macros. In the drop-down box choose support.dot. In the Macro Name box choose AutoCorrect Backup. Click Run and then backup. Then save it as whatever you want.
To put in on the next system, run the utility the same way to get the support.doc and instead of clicking backup, click restore. Check your entries because some may not be completely the same depending upon how you have them set up. If you have questions, feel free to e-mail
Part # and instructions.
This site, option #3 will give instructions, part # you need. (From Radioshack)
http://www.nch.com.au/scribe/pedals.html
I have a nice set of instructions in PDF...
that includes diagrams! The plug in for phone is rear left on the bottom. If you would like me to send you the PDF file of C-phone instructions I would be glad to, just e-mail me.
Some detailed instructions for you. sm
I believe I understand what you're trying to do. Try following these steps.
Open a new blank document and set the margins as you've been instructed (File, Page Setup, Margins). Next, click on the tab for Layout. Make sure Section starts has New Page in the box. In the next section, Headers and Footers, make sure none of the boxes are checked. Change the measurement from edge for the Header to 1". In the Page Section for vertical layout choose Center. In Preview Section make sure that Whole Document is selected. Click OK.
Now, Go to View, Headers/Footers. Type the information that you want into the Header area. Don't worry that it looks like the Header area is larger than it should be; it will shrink as your letter grows. Save this as a document template (.dot)
Now, whenever you use this template, just type your first letter, use Ctrl+Enter to go to the next letter/page. The Header information will show at the top of each page and each letter will be centered on the page for you.
Read the instructions doc that was sent to you.
It gives detailed instructions of what to do. Sounds like you only read the first half of it if you actually got the test files.
I did read instructions....
I did read the instructions, thank you. I downloaded the PlayAll player also, but my footpedal that I use for Olympus player is not working for the PlayAll player. I can play it by starting and stopping it with the keyboard, but I would prefer using my pedal.
One file has an extension “.ofc” This is an actual work file. YOU CAN NOT OPEN THIS WITH A CLICK OF YOUR MOUSE. You must download this file to the .wav player software and open it with the PlayallX or the software you already have.
The file “playallx.zip” is a zipped file that will open the software to play our compressed digital work. This is necessary if your .wav player will not open the compressed file with the extension .ofc. PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS FOR WINDOWS XP ONLY.
This is like the "stupid" instructions on...
products like shampoo and hairdryers. Even though it seems stupid to us that they are pointing out "rinse after lathering" or "do not submerse in water"...the fact that it is on there is likely due to the fact that someone somewhere in this crazy world actually did it..and might have even tried to sue them for not telling them not to. I've been an MT for 15 years. And from your post I knew what DEXA was because I type radiology. I had no clue what pallor was. If I did clinic notes I would probably have known. It's all in what you're familiar with. So the other poster is right...if he's spelling it, it's probably because he knows a newbie is on the account or he's already had to correct it himself on a previous report.
To the original poster, don't feel like it's whining. That's completely understandable. I get frustrated over the same thing too. The docs sometimes spell a word that they have got to know we use all the time...but do you think they would spell a referring doctor's name that they could hardly pronounce themselves? Uhhhhh no! So yeah, it is funny and frustrating at times what they think we need help with and we all need to vent sometimes.
I just e-mailed you with instructions
for the AutoText entries. You cannot use outside programs (text expanders, shorthand, etc.) with InScribe. It's kind of a long process to add AutoText, so I save up 25 or 30 and enter them all at once, usually.
C-phone instructions
I've got the PDF file with everything, so if you need them ... just post a message and I'll be in touch with 24 hours.
Here are the removal instructions..
You can download a utility here to remove it from here:

You need to add a tab to the format. See inside for instructions. sm
Click Format and then Paragraph. A box will open and in the lower right-hand corner, click the Tabs button. You need to set a tab at 1" (or wherever you need it). If you have problems, post back and I'll try to help again.
Her instructions are perfectly reasonable
If she doesn't want resumes submitted as attachments, that's her business and the applicants should just follow the instructions. Whether you think she should ask for pasted resumes instead of attachments is irrelevant. If you don't want to apply, then don't. But if you're going to apply, just follow the instructions. If you cannot or will not follow the instructions, that tells her pretty much everything she needs to know about you.
