irritating
Yes, been throught it several times. I just ignore them - they will stop calling you, but it takes awhile. Since you did answer them once, that just encourages them to call back.
They are probably trying to sell you something - the reaon no one answered when you picked up that time is because they have those calls on a delay - the computer dials it and will hang up if it gets voice mail or an answering machine, but if they get a human voice, the computer goes on hold and it can take a few seconds or longer for a human to get on.
I don't answer any calls that come from "private line." If they don't want to identify themselves, I don't need to talk to them.
Those are irritating and
how about when the poor doc is trying to dictate and there is loud noise in the background almost overriding his/her voice? Like laughing, chatting, etc. I go bonkers with that and don't know how the dictator can concentrate. Is there no other phone to use?? Or maybe...hello...a little common courtesy from bystanders?
I know what you mean, but it's now really irritating... SM
to have to type out a complete word or phrase. So, no, I have no classes of words found in a medical report that I don't make abbreviations for.
Instead, I long ago decided to develop more patterns and switch to using longer abbreviations so that literally millions of more abbreviations would be possible.
Like you, I've always varied from my abbreviation rules when it feels right, but I do it less now with over 50K abbreviations in storage. In fact, I've converted many of my old standards to longer rule-dictated forms as that's just started working better for me, i.e., engage finger memory, disengage thought.
Regarding groups of words, I use symbol keys before and after abbreviations to set up abbreviation "groups." Like a / indicates a capped form, including city and hospital names. Physician names are a / followed by a letter indicating the account (so I can delete them all if I don't work on it any more), followed by first four of surname, then only if needed first 1 of first name. Sounds long, but the right name and title pop up every time per rule.
For others trying to decide how to develop more expansions: for me umbilical hernia is a simple umbhe, umbilical herniation umbhj. Longer than my old umh, but still far shorter than typing dozens of them out, and I get to have every type of hernia there is abbreviated, plus all the other terms that would be vying for the same shorter forms.
As many as possible of the words between the medical terms are abbreviated, like she, could, not, remember, whether, she, took, her, medicine, as, scheduled, or, not: k cdn (or kcdn) reb whr k tok u mec as skd (or askd) o nt.
The patient continues to is tpcust and continued to is tpcudt, but the patient continued feeling is tpcdfg and the patient continued feeling short of breath is tpcdfsob. The patient continued short of breath is tpcdsob. She continued to be short of breath is kcdtbsob. And on and on and on.
The longer the phrase the fewer "extra" letters are usually needed--most complete sentences are their first letters only. It not only works, it works very well and takes a surprisingly short time to learn to knock the strings of letters out without thinking.
irritating
Fast talkers, low talkers - even worse when they do both. Docs who clear their nose or throat, mumblers, eating while recording, cell phone/pager right next to recorder that practically blows my ears out, and docs who jump all over the place and change their sentences around so I have to decide if it is a new sentence or if I need to delete what I already typed and end up typing twice as many words but only getting paid for half of them.
I recently had one doctor who was wonderful with her dictation and at the end she told me to have a great weekend! Too bad I've never had any reports from her again. Lately they just stick me with the kinds of docs in the first paragraph.
It's irritating, but the new thing seems to be . . . sm
that 3 missed appointments without 24 hour notice qualifies for termination of services. It's ridiculous, but it's the norm.
My daughter struggled to get twin babies to the pediatrician on time, was 10 minutes late twice, and called 3 hours before an appointment when they both woke up sick one time. She was "booted" from the practice for "failure to establish a doctor patient relationship."
Funny thing was, she never even met the doctor. The doctor was always either out on an emergency or running late. The babies were never seen by anyone besides the PA. My daughter was intimidated into basically, "They see the PA or they won't be seen type of deal."
My son was "booted" by his PCP because his account had an outstanding balance of $36.00. I explained to them that my husband had recently lost his job. They gave me 3 weeks and then booted him. (After insurance paid huge amounts of money for our son and the rest of us, who were not booted because we didn't have a balance).
It's all about money lately for the most part. I don't believe that the doctor feels he could make more money off a different patient, it's just that if there is not enough time to book another patient, the docs won't have enough to buy a new tire for their Mercedes.
This is so daggone irritating!! I have been
receiving phone calls from unknown name and number for about two weeks now. They were calling three times a day (tid-lol). I finally answered hoping to let them know that it was NOT appreciated the amount of calls I was receiving. No one responded to my hello. I then told them not to call again. They did. Now the calls are up to 4-5 times a day. I have contacted my phone company about finding out who this moron is, but have not heard yet. Has anyone gone through this and, if so, what did you do that got results? TIA.
Has anyone else dealt with this? Maybe I'm wrong but it is irritating.
I'm tired of suddenly getting email messages from people I email all the time announcing that they have a new process for ME to go through so that I can be "approved" to send email messages to them.
I got this notification after sending an email to a short list of friends and relatives. It wanted me to verify who I was and why I was sending mail to them and verify the numbers I was seeing on the screen and verify my name and my email address.
Maybe it seems trivial but I think it is ridiculous. What's next? Will we have to get "approval" to send something in the mail?
I understand blocking spam but really now, these people know who I am. I maintain MY list of people, why can't they?
Thx for listening!
most irritating word in the world-
bling-bling-- If I hear some young punk say the word bling again I am going to bling him right out of this world
I imagine it was equally irritating for the patient. nmx

hey... irritating maybe, but this is the PRICE for keeping American jobs
why are we whining about this? We keep talking about our jobs being outsourced, well guess what... this is the same thing. We have to pay a higher price to speak to an American. That sucks and sounds ridiculous but the fact remains American workers demand more money, just as we as MT's do over people in India. I don't have a problem with it, maybe cause I see it from their side. I for one cant STAND talking to people from another country and honestly NEVER get the problem fixed with them. It sucks to pay more, but it is worth it, for them and for us.
I deleted it through the (sm)

my post was deleted
all i did was tell the truth about her bad language in an email to me. it was the truth and based on fact. are we not allowed to post true events?
Why have all the posts been deleted that said they
didn't see anything wrong with this?
I know - my comment was deleted
.....I guess if you own the board you can delete anything you don't like being said about yourself. So much for freedom of speech.
Were there some posts deleted here?
It's real confusing ... however, my 2 cents? There's no possible way you could reach 100K a year at 8 cpl. Anyone who says they do is fibbing, IMO, or else they never sleep or eat and just transcribe all hours of the day.
At 8 cpl, assuming we're talking the standard 65-char. line, I think you'd be doing quite well to reach $30K a year. JMO.
Deleted lines.
I do not count it if it is just a sentence or two. If it is say a whole note, or close to it, I do count it and send a note stating what I did.
This is a deleted website????

I had that problem and went in and deleted the ...

There were 2 or 3 other answers here that got deleted - sm
for some reason, they certainly were not offensive, so it is a bit weird. But what they said is NO! Not unless you work an awful lot (i.e. 7 days, probably 12-14 hour days). So yeah you could do it but you'd have no life, no husband either in the long run and no sanity.

Messages deleted??
I really want to thank all you wonderful people who have tried to help me today. I am wondering what happened to all of the posts though, as I am only seeing a few of the many that were earlier this afternoon. Did the administrator delete some of them? If so, why?

Selling business deleted?
May I ask why the selling business messages were all deleted? Was something said that should not have been? Just curious so that if I said something I do not do it again.
I have no clue why my reply to you was deleted!
It was a friendly, I'm sorry you're going thru this, been there, done that post! This is beyond silly! Anyhooo, guess its not worth answering posts if they just get edited for no reason at all! Maybe lots of others have answered you as well, but they disappear in a flash!
Moderator and everybody else, my apology was DELETED. sm
I had wrote an apology for coming across so nasty earlier and I am sure that the gals that were involved in this post read it before somebody deleted it and decided to give me a warning.
Moderator, can I ask why my first apology was deleted?nm
We all saw it and all it said was sorry for coming across so nasty.

It appears to have been deleted. I forget - sm
which board it was on, this one or gab? Anyways, I had said to possibly use call blocking to block your sister, or to unplug your phone for 15 minutes or so during the period she calls you back. I remember someone else suggested having her number blocked but have her calls forwarded to a cell phone if you have one. I'd look into another phone line as suggested below; they are not that expensive (get it with no LD, just the basics and use it for your virtual call center if you can). You can write off the cost of your phone lines on your taxes on Sch. C, so they do help offset your taxes some. Or you could just try to do an extra 300-500 lines a month to cover the cost of the phone line. Good luck.
I did post a site, but it was deleted???
I don't get it.
My bad...I guess thread was deleted.
It is the other huge MT website but one other time I put the name on here and they deleted it. This
is actually the first time I have really seen a lot of people on that website rip MQ because usually they have nice things to say. There are a lot of very unhappy MQrs right now.
You are starting up again. Admin had deleted you before and now you start up again. sm
You are pitiful.

Posts deleted - Stop with the name-calling. (SM)
You don't have to agree but stop with name calling and disrespectful posts. Stop naming names.

My original post has been deleted, read this...
How can you give positive, sound advice to someone who may not live in the same area as you. Every state is different. As far as being afraid for our jobs, yeah, there should be a certain amount of fear, because as an IC you could wake up one morning and your job be gone. Same as employee, I understand, but there does not have to be a reason to let you go as an IC. I am a VERY professional MT who takes my job seriously and I do have a bit of fear at times, I have kids to raise. You cannot tell her that she is not savvy on her own company, she was only asking some questions. I thought that is what this board was for, to ask questions. How could you find anything someone asks amusing or disgusting....maybe you should search into the term "professional" and maybe you are not so savvy in your own company. :)
I think you got your wish - message from Goldbird- posts deleted
and I think that the only thing that is not allowed is offshore companies soliciting on the boards, I am pretty sure that there are offshore transcriptionists on here. They can certainly lurk, but I think there is some posting, too.
I don't know but if by MTSO, half the messages would be deleted

I just posted a response here and WHY was it deleted? It was not insulting
I was just asking why everyone seems to be so unkind as this person does and just asked for moderators. The nasty posts should be deleted, not questions pertaining to that. Makes no sense to me.
Part was cut off. Deleted it from the hard drive. I would
like to get this working so I can test with other places. If not, I dont know what to do. I have an Infinity foot pedal and it works fine on DQS so I dont want to go out and buy foot pedals not knowing what to buy and if it will work. Hopefully this tech guy will have an answer since he works for the company I am testing for.

I think I just might give it a try.
Thanks for the replies. I am going to bid on . . .
the CDs. A note is on the listings that the key passwords are included. :) Anyway, thanks. I think I want them and will do as suggested regarding HPI and other materials. Our library said they don't have the program and have no plans to get it. :(
Thank you for your replies.
I think I'll try the frozen peas and see how that works out. It's not so much that the pain is excruciating, it's just constant and driving me nuts. I have had problems for years with numb hands and right rotator cuff tear and bursitis, and now my right arm has to ache. I had an EMG/NCV a few years ago that was normal - which baffled the neurologist since my symptoms had sounded exactly like carpal tunnel to him. So I have lived 8 years with numb hands and 3 years with excruciating right shoulder pain, and I'm only 31. The neurologist told me he didn't think it was the typing causing the problem - HUH? I can't imagine what else it might be. Anyway, didn't mean to write a novel. Thank you guys so much.
