I thought that some of you who sell art, crafts, or other items like candles, Avon, scrapbooking, etc. might like to jump on this opportunity. I had thought it would be an affordable opportunity for you to make some extra money with Christmas coming up. However, so far no one appears to be interested. Therefore, if I don't have at least 10 people interested by Nov. 20, I will scrap the idea.

What banner above?

I LOVE the banner ad that just popped up - sm
at the top of this page! It says, 'Beware of At Home Jobs - Most Don't Work"!
Well, how TRUE is that!
MT - What a great 'career'.
Did anyone ever look at the Davis Transcription website/banner - sm
I had to laugh because - get this - there are spelling and grammar mistakes on the website. If this is a transcription company, I would think the last thing you would have on your website is a spelling mistake, grammatical and punctuation mistakes. It makes me wonder if this is a back door company to India. So I did a search on MTStars to find out about it, and there is nothing but bad stuff. So my question is this ... after I'm done giggling .... is this a company that sends the work to India???
I think they're referring to the Christmas Child banner. nm

inexpensive produce
Out here in CA, there is a Mexican supermarket, Vallarata (not sure if spelling is accurate but it is close)..Anyway, they are all over Southern CA. The produce is so inexpensive, Im amazed. Ten pounds of potatoes for $1.00, three pounds of tomatoes for $1.00, five pounds of onions for $1.00, on and on. Also lots of other stuff in the store is inexpensive. Their produce is so fresh. If you live in the Southern CA area, check out this store. I go in there and walk out with bags of produce and breads, etc., for about $10.00. I even have seen two Indian doctors I used to work for at a nearby hospital, LOL, they were buying produce too.
Really inexpensive would be an HP Deskjet.
You can buy online or get one on sale at Staples or OfficeMax for under $90.
I use As-U-Type, and I love it. Very inexpensive, too...nm

One of my docs just went digital and it was very inexpensive.
He bought an Olympus WS110 digital recorder that just plugs into his computer to download the dictation. You can use digital signatures, send everything back and forth using e-mail without having to have an FTP site. You can also password protect documents in Word. His digital handheld was less than $75.00 and the sound quality is awesome. I use GearPlayer software with a computer foot pedal to play his files, type them in Word. I hope this helps.
Okay, these sound weird, but inexpensive and delicious!!!
I rememember having these as a kid when money was tight and I make them still for my family once in a while because we love them! All you need: Regular white bread. Ketchup (yes I know!). Thin sliced Swiss cheese. Garlic powder, oregano. To make: Very Lightly toast bread. Spread with thin layer of ketchup. Sprinkle on garlic powder and oregano (to your taste). Place 1-2 slices of Swiss cheese on top. Bake in toaster oven/or regular oven on low heat just until cheese begins to melt. They are really delicious and kids love them and have fun making them!
What is a good inexpensive small home printer.

I ordered a clamp-on one, inexpensive, from Miles Kimball or one of those places.

Sticky
My local company is the cheapiest that I have found and never once have I had them separate in the laser printer and I have been using this for 15+ years. I have very little waste as I just do continuous notes on the 8 1/2 sheets and cut apart before I deliver to the offices. I pay $28.70 for 250 sheets and that is with 2 slits along the side so it is easy for the girls to file into the charts. True I go and pick up but it is only 10 miles from me. I have searched and searched and found no place cheaper. And like I said it has never peeled apart and I have had Avery, Viking, many nationals that have jammed in my laser printer before and never once have these. And I like giving locals the business. As for the perforated ones, it is $33 per 250 but I wasted too much for that and when it comes in a roll and you have to cut apart and it curls, too much work for me. My 2 cents for the day.

Sticky paper
Like I said below I buy my sticky paper through a place that prints up forms. You will need to do some calling to see. It is a little expensive but I provide that in my price. Just do not buy the boxed stuff from Viking or Office Depot or Office Max as they do not not have the perforations on the sides so that when they peel the note it is smaller than the paper and fits on a piece of paper. E-mail me if you have any questions. But if you are in the Seattle area, there are a lot of paper places up there. If you are doing overflow then the main MT should be able to tell you where to get the paper. Also they might provide it as some accounts do. Everyone is different. But CONGRATS -- the first step is the hardest. Knew you could do it. Be sure to ask for lots of examples when you start. Keep me informed. Any questions you can e-mail me. Patti typing without glasses hope don't have many typos.
You can get Sticky paper
You can get sticky paper from Medical Arts Press, get the quick peel that has perforations on the side so it fits on your regular sized paper. It is expensive though, I used to buy the large box, approx $90.00, so if you can get your client to supply it, that would be great. I always had to supply my own.
Sticky Paper
Does any one have any suggestions on a type of paper that can be printed on and then stuck into a patient's chart? I would like to find a lable type to fit in a certain space. Brand names would be helpful. Thank you in advance
Sticky paper
I use an 8 1/2 x 11 label size paper that has about 1/8" inch that peels back on each side so that it is smaller than the paper you place it on. The clinics use it to put the chart notes in the charts. I get it at a form place that makes it. Avery makes 8 1/2 x 11 labels but you have to cut down the sides before you peel back the sheet to place it on the paper and it doesn't have great peel backs either. Call local form places and sometimes they will have perforations 1" or so but I don't like that as you waste a lot when you have to begin another chart note and you have to be sure it is below one of the perforations. Have been using this for 15 years now. Did go with some national companies but the shipping got to be too much. Again, call local paper and form places in your area and see if theymake it. E-mail me wiht specific questions.

Sticky Paper

Im sure they carry these tyoe of rolls.
Sticky Paper
Hi, I have always used plain computer paper for my reports but have a new doctor who prefers me to use the "sticky" paper. I was wondering if I should charge for the paper, since it is an added cost, and also if anyone knows where to purchase this paper. Thanks.
sticky paper
I have a great supplier Forms & Filing Systems 800-472-0171. Costs about $120 for 1000 sheets. I pass this cost on to my docs.
sticky paper
I'm not sure about the colors. But it is laser quality. It comes in different label sizes. I use a full sheet lable.
Sticky paper
I get mine from a local form company and it comes with 1/4" inch strips on the sides so that when they peel it off to put into the chart the note is smaller than the paper and fits better. I pay $28 per 300 sheets.
sticky strips
We went through this at the hospital I worked for a couple of years ago and I can't quite remember why it turned out to be okay to register patients like this, but supposedly it was okay. My doctor's office has you write your name on a sticky strip which they immediately take off so it does not stay on the record there, but they still do call your name, so you can't travel incognito if you wanted to. It does seem like a violation of some sort. My drug store won't even tell my husband my Rx is ready for pick up, even though I've told them it's okay.
sticky strips, RXs
Thanks for reminding me what they're called! As for the RX thing, my pharmacy is the same way. You know it's just a huge CYA thing, and creates many inconveniences for "us," but they don't want to fool with a lawsuit.
Anyway, from what I've read here, either some places are okay, and others are in violation. Fortunately it hasn't affected my life. It's been interesting to read the different posts, though.
Sticky situation/IRS/IC status
I just had my taxes done (extension) and was told that if the company that I do IC work with dictates my hours that my home office deductions may be disallowed. This company asks you up front or tells you up front what "shifts" they have available for you and then they expect you to work those hours. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to approach them about this - I have skirted the issue by working a few hours different every day - but usually staying within a block of time - and they have not said anything to me - but I think that is only a matter of time. I like my job and the work is great - I just don't want to owe more taxes than necessary because the company is not willing to work with ICs but expect us to work a set schedule. Hope someone has had this come up and will have some good information or at least tell me how to tactfully address this situation without losing my work. Of course, i don't guess that any job is worth it if the company is not willing to comply with the IRS rules.
I detest that sticky paper.
IF you want to do it, raise your rate, charge them an extra fee to do so. If you don't, tell her that is not part of the service that you provide.
MPLite and Sticky Notes
Thanks for your question about MPLite's built-in handling of sticky notes.
While in a session, click Tools | With Selected Files, Sticky Notes. A screen will ask you whether you want the program to separate them with Hard Returns, or page breaks. It also asks you to select the files you want to include in the Sticky Notes. The assembled notes will be in the TransMP StickyNotes folder, with a filename comprised of the the client's initials, the date, and the MT initials.
The Sticky Note function does not preserve any header/footers. If you need those included, use the PDF function, which also allows you to password protects the assembled PDF file.
If you have more question about MPLite, pls ask.

Vinyl sticky letters...sm
www.goldviolin.com sells sticky Vinyl letters. I have bought many, many sets and always keep one on hand. They are also very large letters, for those of us with failing eyesight. Lol
solution for sticky keyboard
I found the solution for my keyboard keys sticking intermittently; I unplug the keyboard and plug it back in. Very simple, I could believe that it works, but it does. Thought I'd pass that along.
I made a sticky post at the top of the forum. I am not going
to get into specific debate over various belief systems and people's rights. If you haven't read the sticky post, please do so.
STICKY NOTES!!! parameter of my screen is ...sm
covered with them! Seriously though, someone else here said the same as I do which is "think first letter of each word." That way, there is no memorizing. If it's a single word, just use the first few letters of that word. If I run into duplications, I just add an extra letter at the end. I have a terrible memory too, but this works for me.
Outlook reminders and sticky notes, can't function without them.....nm

Moved from Sticky Post. Christmas IS celebrated on this site
Moved from Sticky post...
Christmas IS celebrated on this website. If you do not celebrate Christmas, that is your prerogative. However, if posts celebrating Christmas offends you, you might consider another site as we celebrate Christmas on this website and will do so every single year. As the owner of this website, I am proud to say MERRY CHRISTMAS in celebration of Christ's birth. I will not fall in line with others who are being politically correct and I do not expect others who celebrate Christmas to be forced to conform either. Since over 95% of Americans celebrate Christmas, I do not see what the big deal is anyway. For those who do not celebrate Christmas, I offer respect for whatever you do celebrate though I may not agree with your belief system. In turn, I also would hope that you would respect what I celebrate.
Merry Christmas,

Classes - Arabic. Stages - Roman. Grades- Arabic. I have these written on a sticky
note beside workstation....then don't have to look up every time.
Thanks for your note. SM
I think this problem must be specific to my particular account. I have tried all the things we were told, clearing, entering new names to try, etc. Thanks again.
Note to MQ: What would be
retired MTs in your workflow room and being TC's.>?
I am so tired of dealing with haughty people who don't have a clue
why I need something or what I do - and on top of them coping an
attitude with me because I get exasperated with their inability
to do their job which is make the work flow.
If MQ had people hired in their work flow areas who had worked inside
the world of transcription and knew where it goes in a hospital,
what to look at on the screens of the machines in the work flow rooms,
etc etc we wouldn't be getting hysterical messages all the time about
not meeting turn around times.
But no! they want to hire first-time jobbers to be in control of the lives
of people who have been in the business usually upwards of 15 years
in order to even do this MT job at home with no help or assistance -
and then make us put up with them and at the same time try to make a living.
I don't want a doctor operating me who has never been inside a hospital, and I
am sick to death of dealing with people in a transcription company
who has never been inside a hospital and followed a REPORT around.
They need to see WHY A REPORT is done - HOW IT IS DONE
They need to go to dictate stations - they need to go in a medical records
area and look at charts - go inside an OR - and into the ICU
they need to see how the world of medicine is and how it operates.
Only then will they understand TATs, reports, and why things are done as they
are or at least why people want them done a certain way.
Like if I keep getting dictations with LOUD BUZZING - i don't want to keep getting
LOUD BUZZING - I want to let the hospital know there is probably a bad phone
instrument - and if this work flow person sees where dictation is done he will
understand it wouldn't take much to MAKE THE BUZZING STOP - and not get
pissy with me because I'd like to talk to somebody about LOUD BUZZING ON
REPORTS. - It's not rocket science - just need to let somebody know.
I know this isn't a note, but
maybe this will be of some help, I'm still searching for a note.

as regards your problem: Do you have Ad-Aware and SpyBot and have you run those? If you have run those and are still not finding anything, you might want to try a trial of this program I just downloaded myself and seems to have gotten rid of this darned WinFix (Virtumond?) pop-up problem I've been having recently that my Ad-Aware and Spybot couldn't seem to take care of. Dang, I might actually buy this one! But anyway, you can use it for 2 weeks, I think it is, for free (see link below).
Just a note: There are two MTs that I will not SM
use to this day - 15 years down the road - because they did this. They will never get a recommendation from me and they will never sub for me.
You leave a long trail when you do something like this.
