True! Computer techs are all foreign. Used to be a good-
still have a tech job are usuallyh IC's, with no job security and no benefits. Lots of computer and microchip manufacturing jobs, that spawned the 'Silicon Valley' in California have gone offshore. Now even radiologists have to worry about their jobs, as some places send the x-rays digitally to Philippines to be read.
What I'd like to know is.... What exactly is going to be LEFT in the United States for US to do? Gas station attendant? Nope... most are self-serve, unless you live in Oregon. Wal-Mart Greeter? Hmm... not old enough (or retired enough) for that. Farm worker? Nope. Mexicans have cornered that market. Waitress? Nope. Lots of eat-in restaurants going belly-up these days. Typesetter? Nope. Newspapers are going extinct. Web designer? Nope. Most people can design their own nowadays. Retail? Same as the restaurants. Teacher? Whoa - talk about an underpaid profession! Nurse? Another underpaid one. Not a good choice for us work-at-home recluses. Truck driver? One of the few jobs where they need people, but to make ends meet these days you have to pretty much live in your truck. Flight attendant? Not a good choice for us recluses who hate to fly. Rap artist? Pretty saturated field. Hair stylist? I don't even comb my OWN hair most of the time, and haven't cut it in years. So I'd be pretty useless unless someone with long hair wanted a French braid. Chef or short-order cook? Not if you only cook TV dinners. (Does that count as cooking?) Dog-walker? Nah - I'm a cat-person. Bike-messenger? In my town, most of em don't live very long. You never see middle-aged bike messengers. Taxi-driver? Nope - the Sikhs have cornered that market. Executive secretary? (What? Go back to wearing heels and pantyhose? NEVER!)

I was told my a computer tech that if you have more than 1

Slow computer, told need more RAM
My computer now has been really slow lately and checked and found to have 768 MB, told I need to increase to at least 1.5 or 2 gb which my computer can handle. My question is this, since it is gonna cost me approximately $140 or so, is this worth it, will I be able to tell the difference in the speed? Right now I am sitting waiting for some words to appear on the screen, very frustrating. Thanks!
my son is a computer grad and told me not to get vista
on my new lap top. i ordered direct from Toshiba with windows XP.
True. I was told this by a friend who is a computer tech at a company
here in town. He was going to do it for me. No way would I try to do it myself. Luckily, I was able to buy one with XP on it from Dell.
I was told today that all the big computer companies offshore their technical service. Does anyone

What virus program/internet security do you use - always used Norton, but a computer tech told me

MQ Monrovia
Been told they do pay for spaces but nothing in writing.
TC quit Monrovia
Wow, I had no idea those people were gone. I avoid all office contact because my TC is the dreaded Yerica. email me if you have time. ssc.
MQ Monrovia - Has anyone heard about
Has anyone heard anything about the new pay plan? Nothing has ever been said to me about tier pay or what "level" I am. Has anyone else from Monrovia been given any information on this?
I work for Monrovia also and (sm)
have been told that if I didn't meet production, I would be changed to statutory. Unless, of course, I had a reason, i.e.; off work, sick, equipment problems, etc. It has never happened, but they have threatened...
How is Monrovia to work for?
I'm signing on with them this week, and wondering how you like this office. This is my second go-around with MQ and I'm hoping against all odds that this will be a decent office and account. I do multi and ops. Have to do the whole training gig this week, but should be up and going by Monday.
Genetics in Monrovia?
I was on the MT Chat board a few days ago and someone said that MK Monrovia was looking for a Transcriptionist who did genetics reports for Cedars-Sinai, is that person on this site and could you tell me more? I plan to leave Medquist shortly, but love Cedars, most of their dictators are really good and I really like doing their genetics stuff, even the dictators with accents try hard. I think MQ must only have two or three MTs who do genetics because they begged me really hard, it is a very difficult specialty. Hope you can give me an answer! Thanks. 
Does MQ in Monrovia pay for spaces - do you have this ans in writing?

Yerrica in Monrovia is the worst! nm
Rude and just plain mean, mean, mean.
I too am from Monrovia and have yet to hear any details!
Please share if anyone finds anything out! 
I'm out of Monrovia too and the only place I've heard about it is here.
I don't know if this is company wide or local office changes. Guess we'll all find out when the time comes. Until then, I'm not going to worry about it.
Mary Patterson is with Futurenet in Monrovia, CA.

Friend works out of Monrovia - after a couple of times (sm)
of not meeting her quota they called and "chewed her out". Nothing was said about taking benefits away.
Techs
When I worked for MQ on the new platform, it wouldn't connect. I called tech support and talked to a lady there. She asked me if my phone line was connected and I told her no, I had high-speed internet. She said "But is your phone line connected?" I told her again, no, I have cable. She said, and I am not kidding, "Do you have an adapter to connect your cable to the phone line?" Where do they get these people?
mammo techs
As much as you wish the tech would give you a hint, really you shouldn't take their word. These mammograms will be glanced at by the radiologists before you leave to be sure that they can SEE all the areas that they will need to study; however, they will be *reading* the mammo after you are gone (unless you are an extremely slow dresser LOL). The radiologists I worked for took their time and used magnifying glasses and really looked these things over. So I really doubt the tech is going to be able to give you any kind of reassurance.
If I were you I would just stress to the tech that you hope you can hear something ASAP. Maybe she'll relay that to the radiologist.
Good luck, I hope the lump is just a cyst or fibrous tissue. Keep us posted.
Pharm techs
Here's a link to the Bureau of Labor Statistics explaining what pharm techs do and the salary. (Note that it says some of their duties will be replaced by automated prescription-filling machines. LOL! It sees no one is immune!)
http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos252.htm
For comparison, see the salary surveys for coders at www.aapc.com and www.advanceforhim.com.
Did the techs say why? And do whole op notes really fit in the expander? nm

Don't think techs will tip you off, but a word of caution - (sm)
Don't get scared needlessly if they want to "redo" any of the films. That happened to me once, and the tech left the film up on the board where I was waiting and I saw this huge spot of light and I was absolutely sick worrying about it until I heard from my doctor. It was normal, and several times since then they have have to "redo" some of the films. Try not to worry, and be glad that you have doctors who ARE cautious and speed things through.
scary echo techs
doc says "However, the patient was terminated by technician who felt the patient was becoming diaphoretic and having his symptomatology associated with shortness of breath."
scribe types "However, the study was terminated by the technician who felt the patient was becoming diaphoretic and having symptoms associated with shortness of breath."
Good luck with the techs
I emailed a question last thursday and still haven't heard back. Time to look elsewhere. Their platform is horrible.
I was told I needed 2 phone lines, but was told I was dialing into the doctors' system. What woul
So tired of these support-less techs at companies.
same ole answer- I don't know, not my job. What is their job? I can't work, I don't get answers, and it is their software. First answer when I call the office is call support services. Call support service and they say it is not their job. Who it the sam $ell's job is it? I can't work.
Guess these wonderful techs don't know that without us they have no job and it is possible to work without fancy programs with off the shelf software.

Ask the techs where you work. Probably software issue with their program. nm

Is there a college in your area that offers training for x-ray techs?
If so, go to the college bookstore and check out the textbooks they have for the x-ray tech courses. There should be lots of good information there.
If you have any anatomy books, study them, not just the major bones, but the landmarks on the bones like the greater and lesser trochanter of the femur, tibial spines, things like that. Also study the muscles, tendons, and ligaments of the shoulders, wrists, knees, and ankles. MRIs cover a lot of that.
There are a lot of online anatomy sites if you don't have any books of your own, or you can check with your local library.
 Good luck! Radiology is a great field. I love it.
Emergency question for brilliant computers techs. sm
I just had a weird experience with my computer. The screen looked like it was shaking. I thought it was in Word at first, but the desktop was doing this also. It was like a wavy line was going down the screen, part of it would jump a little bit, then below it some more would jump. It was almost like a wave pattern to the side, I could see the edges of the screen moving in and out. I thought I saw this yesterday once or twice, but decided it was my eyes. It wasn't, this was definitely real. It lasted for approximately a minute. Is this something to worry about? TIA.

Is it their computer? Why are they installing a firewall and autocorrect on your computer? That sm

Question about transfering computer into to another computer.. sm
I have a dumb question - Just bought a new computer and someone told me to get a flash drive to transfer all my info. But I'm assuming that ExText that I work off of and Escription will have to be downloaded again by the tech people onto my new computer. I can tranfer these can I?
Thanks
How does one find out the computer specs on my computer?
I should know this, but I just don't remember how to do this. I am hoping I have enough RAM, or whatever, to load work platform on my own computer and begin working on it, rather than paying *rent* on the company-furnished computer. Thanks so much.
A computer is a computer, whether it be laptop or desktop.
I have both and use both and I bought both of mine...most companies do not provide computers...
