Not sure, but I'm guessing the unreliability of the connection too.

In Reply to: satellite does not seem to be desirable in this field...can anybody tell me why? - nontechieMT
I have satellite TV, only because cable hasn't been stretched this far yet..:0 - I'll sure be going back to cable if it ever gets here..
I have a phone line though, so that means DSL is available for my internet, although I guess not even everybody can get that either.

Of course, I am only guessing
But it really sounds as if they think it is a cyst. Not even a mention of CA or mets. The lung nodule is most likely nothing, did they send him to a pulmonary specialist. Try not to worry .
guessing
Yeah! Leave the guessing to the QAs!
Just guessing, but I think you would
have to reformat your hard drive and install XP from scratch.
I'm guessing
you would go into My Computer somewhere. Maybe you could do a power save search and see what comes up in Help.
If I remember right, I had the same issue with my old lap top, but I don't know now what I did to change it.
I would think this would lead to a lot of guessing.
You cannot type in what you cannot hear.
I'm guessing companies don't want to pay
for that experience - cheaper to pay someone with less experience. JMO
Guessing editors
This drives me crazy. We got an e-mail awhile back that said if the doctor does not dictate the account number or DOS then to send the job to editing. Well this one editor, who I've already called out for being incredibly rude and unprofessional, continues to type, DOS must be filled in if it's not filled in then use date of dictation. Like heck I will! If the demographics show only date of admission and it's say 04/05 and today is 04/23 BUT in the report it says the patient was sent home on postop day 4 or it says they have a followup appt on 04/12 then they obviously weren't discharged TODAY!! I've got a couple editors that guess on a horrible dictator based on his samples and that drives me nuts too. Whatever happened to professional pride?
I'm getting another flashdrive and guessing who is on it
Okay, last Thanksgiving weekend, my new doctor gave me a flashdrive and I did all the patients, and then she told me nine of them had been done, how did I want to handle that? You all were very kind in giving advice. This was after a girl walked away and left them not knowing up or down on who is done and who is not.
Today, she called me and asked me questions about dates and patients. She said she is busy and doesn't really have time to see what is actually on the flashdrives. We're meeting in the morning and she is going to give me another one (or two or three). Should I volunteer to listen and make a patient list, or should I tell her I will type all the patients and expect to be paid for them. I don't want to spend my time listening and not getting paid, honestly. But then I want to try and hold onto this job, having just got laid off from an office with more than one physician (thanks to Cbay). You guys are experts and thank you.
Guessing or mistake?
What is annoying about this is that the QA is making an assumption that you guessed rather than just made an honest mistake. Either way, it's a mistake. She should have kept mouth shut and not tried to analyze why the mistake might have been made. If it were me, I'd wait til I cooled off and then e-mail her, telling her that I did NOT guess and never do guess, but simply made an honest mistake.
Yes, that's a prime example of guessing when you can't

You must either get really easy doctors or you're guessing and
 Don't believe it.
I'm guessing you are talking about a specific company here
because it's definately not like that where I work...
I don't get paid for headers and footers, but I don't have to type them and they aren't deducted from my pay either. And I didn't have to wait six weeks to get paid...only two.
good one! actually you are guessing and splitting hairs and still come out loser.
you jumped in on this "I win" game with your "higer education" and "degree".
Frankly dear poster, you depress me. I hate the idea that anyone like you is in the same profession as I am. Amazing too. What with your degree and all. You'd think a person with your "intellect" would be posting on mensa board or something. hee.
bwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhaaaa
No. As another poster said, it encourages guessing, which is completely counter-procuctive to the g
makes for low morale within a company.
In her case, I'm guessing personality or mental disorder. After all, they are pretty common. NM

Sat connection
Satellite is more expensive than DSL or cable and not very reliable, as already mentioned.
The small hospital I work for used to have one home-based girl on satellite until DSL was finally offered in her area. It was horrible! She had to wait for the characters to catch up to her in Meditech.
Voice files using the Fusion player came over great though.
Need connection help
I am hoping someone can help. I am trying to connect to a server (new job) and the MTSO I'm working for is away for the evenig. She told me to connect by REMOTE DESKTOP to log into their server. I have no idea how to do this. Boy, do I feel dumb.
TIA.
VPN Connection
When I am working if I get a call I lose my VPN connection. After several minutes I can reconnect and pick up where I let off, most of the time. Sometimes I have to save my work and completely reboot in order to conneect. Does this happen to any one else. So annoying and time consuming. 
USB connection
Sorry to be a computer dunce...and I have looked so many times on my computer, but cannot find...I need to know if most computers have more than one USB connection. I already have my foot pedal plugged into the one I could find, and would like to purchase the Sound Blaster External 24-bit Sound as recommended on this site to get better quality sound, but for the life of me, I cannot find another USB connection. Please help if you can. Thank you.
Connection might not be
the problem. This site was taken over several months ago by another organization. Have you not wondered where all the regulars went? Great new MT site...

Wal-Mart connection
My nephew has had it for 2 yrs and seems pretty happy with it, even after leaving AOL & MSN, so it seems to be decent.
No difference in them other than connection.
Some companies require a 9-pin or 15-pin, but you can get adapters to convert to USB if that is what you have.
Try Transcription Connection, Inc. sm
Located in Lynchburg, OH. Smaller company, but they have a good variety of work. Pay was a little low for me (8 cpl), but they do pay on time always every other Friday, direct deposit.
Internet connection
Does anybody use ATT/SBC DSL? If so, how is it?
I have Insight (cable), and I have a problem with no internet connections at least once every 2 weeks and thinking about switching.
Thanks!
internet connection
I have Insight, too, and I'm having a terrible time keeping connected. They have somehow, with their high-tech capabilities, discovered that I use a VPN, and now they are locking me up every document or at least every othe document! The only solution is that I'm going to have to pay business rate as opposed to consumer rate. I don't own a business, just work for an online company out of my home, but Insight doesn't care. They consider it "my" business and now I'm going to have to pay a whole lot more to keep them from locking me up.
Internet connection
Ive been using ATT/SBC DSL for a long time, long before they were bought out by AT&T and were just SBC. I love it! Wouldn't have it any other way. I RARELY have any trouble with it.
Wireless connection
Excuse if this posts twice----- I have two computers but only want my work PC wireless. Can this be done? Thanks.
how about your spiritual connection?

Remote PC connection
One of my clients allows me to remotely access their computer to obtain patient lists and transfer files. I have high-speed cable, but there is some delay when I use Word on their computer. I imagine other programs would be a bit slower as well.
If you have Windows XP Professional, you can give this a try yourself by setting up a Remote Desktop Connection. A Google search for this will give you step-by-step instructions.
Yes, the net connection comes right up. Get the KVM that allows audio, too, though, so you don't

Internet Connection
My daughter and I have laptops as well and we both have cards which make them wireless. The card is not from a cell phone company it is a wireless network card that picks up a signal from a router in our home which is connected to antoher PC connected to cable/Internet connection. I believe you can get a wireless card for your laptop and then a cable which allows you to use your cell phone, though I have no idea what it costs. I have known others who have done it this way. Good luck.
Wireless connection
All the cell phone companies have mobile wireless service. You buy their PC card and sign up for their service. The service is about $50 or $60 a month where I live and you have to sign a contract for a year and only one computer can use it at a time because you have to move the card from PC to PC.
Their are also wireless networks that can run through a home PC and be routed to an unlimited number of computers in the home. This is usually through a cable company or land line phone company but you send you can't get high-speed internet where you live so that's probably not an option.
I have wireless connection
at home, so I don't think it would be a problem
Sometimes the connection to the phone is

Agree with you there.. I really don't get the connection
between AAMT and a bounty hunter as motivational speaker. You'd think that they'd come up with someone better, but I believe he lives in Hawaii so maybe it was the best deal they could get (i.e. cheapest), maybe?
Wireless connection
I have a USB wireless card through Sprint that I can use on either my laptop or desktop. Had some remote computer repairs done earlier and the tech was amazed by my connection speed, but I am only about a mile to a mile and a half from an enhanced cell tower, so distance from a cell tower will also makes a difference. Verizon also offers a similar card so you might want to check into something like that.
Hope this was helpful.
Dont see connection between this and MT.

Internet connection?
What does that have to do with anything?
Then what is her connection to the Spheris ad?
x
She has NO connection to Spheris...
she was just simply stating to Kippers that the Spheris site we've all seen may have been made by a disgruntled employee, etc. She is familiar with technology these days and how those things can happen... that is all.
when I get that message, my Internet connection is usually gone sm
I have to unplug my modem and reconnect to the Internet, but I am cable connect. Don't know if this is your problem, but has always been mine! Hope this helps
losing internet connection off and on
Losing internet connection happened quite a bit for me. I kept calling Comcast, they said to reboot. I had a computer tech out to look at the computer and they deleted a bunch of junk and it ended up my cable modem was bad. It was 3 years old. I got a new one and it works great now.
Unplug their internet connection nm

TransHealth has rad accounts with VPN connection. nm
Wireless internet connection was being
advertised on T.V. last night. It showed a man using his lap top in a room saying that he was connected to the internet wirelessly. This sounds like the way to go for me who needs a vacation but can't afford to take one. Has anyone investigated this?
Cable connection question?
I am soon moving to an area where cable is available. A friend has advised that I have a backup phone line internet connection. Any advice?
Thanks for any/all help!
How do you speeding up a dial up connection?
This is for all of us poor MTs that are still stuck with dial up as our only option. Satelite is just too darn expensive for what we get paid and moving is even more expensive. So....are there any tips or tricks to making our dial up connections any faster so we can download those dictation files faster and not time out anymore?
Please do not mention an accelerator. I have that and it is only good for a webpage pop up faster and for opening email. It has nothing to do with dictation files.
Is there something that were can do as far as the kind of phone cord we use, the length of it, or something like that?
What about our modems? Is there something we can do to our modems to jack up our speeds?
And whats with software like Escription advertising on their website that dial up will work when it does not. That info has to be to the dictators who have dial up and not to the MTs with dial up.
There has to be hope for us becaue after 10 years of MT work I will be darned if I give up being home with my kids just because of my internet connection speed!!!!
Thanks letting me vent
Very frustated dial up MT
VOIP and internet connection - sm
I have VOIP with my cable provider, Roadrunner, and I can use my Lanier at the same time as I am on the Internet, no problems. In my area, this is much cheaper than unlimited long distance phone service with my land line provider (which I kept, by the way, as you have NO phone if your cable goes out). I have not had any problems at all. Hope this helps.
Question on internet connection....
I have a question that I'm sure someone knows the answer to. My son was telling me that a friend of his has a laptop and she has a card she puts in it and can then connect to the internet wirelessly. Where we are located there is no high-speed yet, so I am wondering if this is through cell phone or something like that. He thought it was like a Cingular card or something (which is a cell phone company). Does anyone know how this works as far as cost, etc? I have a cell phone through Cingular and am wondering if you use something like this does it take minutes off your plan? I guess I'm sort of dumb about all of this. Thanks for any help you can give.
Satellite internet connection
I can't get DSL/fast access internet where I live and am thinking about getting a satellite connection, but it's a huge investment. If anyone has it or has had it in the past, please let me know what you think and how it works for you. Thanks a bunch!
what type internet connection do you have?
Per thier site...
CryptoHeaven performance is slow.
CryptoHeaven is designed to work on high-speed and broadband Internet connections. Dial-up users can use CryptoHeaven but are advised the response time is slower. Dial-up users should keep file transfers small.
