You can't make many shortcuts and remember them all if you don't get the same dictators saying the same thing day after day.
Oh, yeah. I had this guy about a month ago. What was that shortcut for his physical exam?

"Saving Keystrokes" by Diana Rolland sold on the Stedman's site.
Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other bookstores also have it, too. It was a good book with plenty of hints on using expanders.
Saving Keystrokes book
I keep hearing MTs talking about this book. I guess I should get it. Is there a downloadable version of this book so that I don't have to wait on it to get here? Has it really helped you all improve your production? Is it more than then just telling you how to make expansions with the ABCZ method?
Thanks
Is this book (Saving Keystrokes) worth
buying if I already use lots of expanders? I think I have almost overdone it in some ways. I need to delete some obscure ones I made that are taking up letters I could use for something more critical.
Wondering if that book would help or if I have a good enough handle on the concept already. ? Does the book cover anything other than making expanders?
Thanks! 
Just make a note in your book and go on. Every book I read you can find an error
or 2. Nobody is perfect. Lucky you only paid $60. New it is $80 or more.
I didn't read the other posts but just read this
My daughter got pregnant at 17, said she wanted an abortion but BF didn't. I have a wonderful 2-1/2 yo grand daughter that I don't think I could live without...and now, guess what? I don't. I have custody of her. She was dropped off on my door, I got court ordered temporary custody and final custody hearing in a month.
I'm single with no family support. I had just taken a new MT job one month before this happened and they have been wonderful during my adjusting to being a mom again and I hope I can resume a normal schedule by next week.
I'm passing no moral judgments or giving moral advice. The situation is what it is. My prayers are with everyone involved.
Which book did I read that in?
We must, we must, we must increase our bust. The bigger, the better, the tighter the sweater. We must increase our bust!
That would be a book I would read!
I do not know the answer to your question. I do know that our docs are QA's on all of their documents, but not transcription. If transcription has an error in the report and the doctor signs it, it is still considered his error. We are, however, in the process of putting a QA together for transcription.
QA needs to be a part of the job because most MTs are paid by line and that encourages quantity over quality.
Good luck on that book!!
Read Lou Dobb's book
called War On the Middle Class or something like that. He talks exactly about this kind of thing. I watch his show every day. It seems our own government is against us. I am not hopeful with the Democrats coming into power that they will change things either. I feel that the Republicans and Democrats are not at all on the side of the working class American.
I read the book and thought it was......sm
amazing. It totally changed by thinking of a lot of things.
sorry you haven't read the Book of John
he is the only way to get in and you have to believe in what he did for you. Doesn't matter how good you try to be.
Read Suze Orman's new book
on women and money. She says never put yourself on sale. She says women tend to undervalue themselves and not ask for raises, and not get paid what they are worth.
My husband read about that in the book The World Is Flat.
Makes me mad! What has happened to our country!?
I read a book once that burnout was caused by being out of balance. sm
Working too much and not giving time to other parts of your life is the culprit in the job arena. Variety is the spice of life, so focusing on balancing your job, your need for a good cash flow, with times to enjoy yourself is essential.
It takes work, and fortunately I have an S/O that demands that I take time for us to have fun and for "me" to have fun as an individual.
I read that book as a young girl, loved it. Just bought
it for my 12 year old. Fantastic book for younger girls that age!!!!!
What did it say..for those of use who didn't get to read it.
xx
my, how you read into that - didn't you.
It was sarcasm. But believe me, I could have said something that would have slammed you into next week with your comments. But I did not because I would have been kicked off this board. It also would be quite unbecoming to do - you know, "knock someone when they don't know any better"
So if you read into my remark, then I'm sorry.
You obviously didn't read the
mind. So does it matter to you that, in fact, there are more white people on welfare than anyone else? I don't advocate welfare for life no questions asked, but geez, louise,this is America, the richest country in the world and we have children who go to bed hungry!!!! That doesn't bother you at ALL and you support policies that helps make this happen?! God help us.
sorry, didn't read your response below! I tried, though!

No, see? You didn't even read the posts. You came
into the middle of the conversation and started making things up. I'm not angry and bitter, so please stop spouting your nonsense. Read your own posts. As for the soda bottles, we were discussing washing them out to be reused to hold water when a hurricane comes. I'm done. I'm out of here. I'm not going to defend myself against someone who doesn't even understand the conversation and makes things up.
Didn't read, did you, Tinks?
The company repaid my testing fee (I'm a member, it cost me $195).
Plus I get about $6000 a year more by the CMT production bonus.
So, get off your garbage can. It IS profitable.
If you don't care for the AAMT, that's okay. However, they are the standard and their standard has given me $6000 a year more in salary just for proving I can pass their test.
Okay, Oscar, fire away!
Didn't read it online.........
Husband's tech department was contacted by McAfee about this. McAfee is a company they deal with a lot in his business, so they are kept up to date. FYI
duh, sorry, didn't read post below mine. NM

I didn't read your way-too-long post, but...
did you type all that out, or copy and paste from somewhere, cause if you typed it all out...you need to get a life and quick!
Didn't read all the posts below about rubbing
alcohol, so forgive me if someone mentioned it, but there is also wintergreen alcohol!
You didn't read the post very carefully.

I didn't realize that until I read the EULA
the other day after talking about this. I've never had 2 computers, so I had no idea. I took it off and bought a new one for the 2nd computer. Thanks for the info.
Sorry. Didn't read your post correctly
I don't use the compile feature, but build my glossaries as I go along. Never cared for the results I got with compiling.
Sorry, I didn't read the question or the answers SM
well enough. An insomniac visit. It's a question worth asking in case someone has come up with some clever system for BPs.
Yes, Jay certainly does read this board. I know because he threatened to sue me if I didn't remov
certain posts some months ago essentially about the same subject content as now. If Jay truly owes previous employees and current employees clearly it would behoove him to do so as it certainly doesn't look very good when his indiscretions are plastered all over MT sites.

You obviously didn't read the post carefully. Try again in a more sober frame of mind.
It made sense to me.
sorry, i didn't read your post before I posted mine...says the same thing, pretty much! :) nm

Read a boring book or watch something boring on TV.
Sometimes I go to bed so tired, but by the time I get in bed I'm not sleepy. I do one of the above and 15 minutes later I'm asleep. My DH works third shift so he isn't there for me to bother him, may not be an option for you.
Updating surgical references - new Stedmans Word Book, Tessier Surgery Book or others - best one in

Quick Look Drug Book (book & CD/ROM)..sm..
Does anyone use both. I'm definitely getting the CD/ROM and am debating about buying both. I don't see any reason to have both but there could be something I don't know.
I noticed CD/ROMs are on backorder but they're selling downloadable versions. I can handle that.
The Sted's Ortho & Rehab Words is probably my most used book and then the Lab Words book. GL! nm

Medical Word Book by Sloan, Surgical Word Book by sm
Tessier, Dorland's dictionary, BOS, and my very fave I think is now out of print but called Spellright by Rice.
Keystrokes. sm
I know that they have gotten beat up on here lately and had good posts too, but I think that each company is different for each person. I have found a permament place, as long as they stay this way or improve. I am treated fairly, paid well and on time. I am left alone as long as I do what I commit to. This is a perfect situation for me, but to each his own.
Try Keystrokes
They may have radiology positions open. 
Keystrokes
Viki,
I sent you some info via email. Check your email.
keystrokes ads
anyone know why Keystrokes has ads requiring at least 3 years experience but their website says 5? which one is it?

Do you mind e-mailing me please?
KeyStrokes
Can anyone give me some info on Keystrokes? Are they a good company to work for? Competitive line rate, etc.?
Keystrokes
Does anybody know about the company called Keystrokes Transcription Service, Inc out of Illinois? Am thinking about working for them.
Keystrokes, MDI-MD
to name a couple.
Keystrokes
This company always pays on time and in general is easy to work for. QA and TAT are big priorities as in most every other company, but also they try to keep their employees happy. They also do not offshore and pay is good.
Keystrokes
I have applied to Keystrokes over three weeks ago for radiology positions. Unless they are not happy with my work, could anyone tell me why they continue to advertise for 30, 60, however many openings they have? What gives with them? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
How many keystrokes TX vs. VR
For those MTs that do VR editing, about how many Keystrokes would you say you do compared to straight typing? 10%? 20%? I know it varies but I am just looking for a ballpark figure. For those that had RSI symptoms, have you found relief in editing??
Thanks!
Keystrokes
Hi:
You want to know about Keystrokes. Well I am currently on an account that requires 1200 lines/day. It is a very difficult acount though and most cannot make this goal. they are not at all flexible here, but there are many other accounts, so depends on where you are working. If you would like more info, you can email me at above email address.
Hope this helps.
