When did they start using flash drives and how? Most of mine don't know how to use the computer! Please share. Sorry for your problem, sounds like the office manager is gloating over this - it's their problem, not yours. Charge them for the lines find out how computer literate the staff is. They usually pay peanuts and get monkeys!

Pardon me, but your ignorance and obvious lack of class are showing.

I bed your pardon.
Beg your pardon...
Been an MT 20+ years, been an MTSO, got tired of pounding the pavement and putting up with MTs who didn't show up or had such poor quality. Sold the company. Went to work for another company. Moved into management. Get along great with those reporting to me - I've been in their shoes and work alongside them to support them as much as possible.
p.s. pardon the typos nm

No, pardon me, I forgot something.

Begging pardon!
It is NOT the only way for them to compete. That is total and utter BS!! It is just a better way for them to satisfy their GREED!
Beg your pardon. Not T. Someone who knows who works for them
and no am not management
Pardon me, and not to sound like an old crank...
but I think the current spectacles for preschool graduations, kindergarten graduation, 6th grade graduation, or even 8th grade graduations have just gotten out of hand. Formal dress for a 5-year-old finishing kindergarten? We've just gotten carried away making huge productions for children out of normal everyday stuff. No wonder they act the way they do sometimes. Some kids expect fireworks for every move they make in this life. I'm not that old and we didn't do jack diddly squat for any of the above occasions... Even 8th grade, it was just "have a nice summer and see you next year." I just personally think we should save the big hooplas for something that is actually a culmination of a lot of persistent work. High school, college, etc. But kindergarten?
well, one posted close to that...pardon me...nm

Pardon my stupidity, but what is an MTSO?

You're bedding my pardon? Oh my!
IGNORANCE
You should really keep your mouth shut about the situation here in Florida and elsewhere. These folks have been devastated, homes gone, jobs gone, these are everyday people and NOT WELFARE LINE recipients. Wake up and stop being so self-centered. When one day you slip into a bad situation you will be asking for help too. I all most fell off my chair when I read your ignorant, uninformed post. You should be ashamed and ask forgiveness and apologize to this board for y our inhuman and slanderous insinuations.
MT in Florida ..
Sorry for the ignorance sm
I was using "anon" but not anymore since someone else has posted a nasty remark here. Why the nasty replies on here? I agree, this is supposed to be the helping profession. I think Cobra is only a bridge between jobs to help you with bennies but is only temporary, not sure of time, but this is the law and cannot be changed. I had to have private insurance just for myself as husband had his own on retirement but I was too young. I had to buy from a private Blue Cross through a group plan through the Chamber of Commerce in my area and so expensive. Big $$$ and no other way. I wish you the best, there is no real solution except to get into a job that offers bennies but sometimes you make more on your own and buying your own ins. Again, sorry some others are so mean, there are a few on here, unfortunately, that's why I chose to be "anon" before but never again! I am not associated with that poster.
Sorry about my ignorance here, but what does EMR really mean for the MT?
Even if the system goes electronic, won't MTs still be needed? Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question!
I beg pardon, but I have to strongly disagree with above post.
If your heart is pounding, if you cannot catch a breath, if your vision is blurred, if you no longer recognize your surroundings (even for a few seconds), if you feel like you are going to die.......yes, you may well be experiencing a panic attack. Or you may not.
There have been too many times that people diagnosed themselves with a "panic attack", not even knowing what that is, and ended up dying with a heart attack or stroke. As in dead.
This is simply because of ignorance.
Once again, the first thing you do is to make sure the symptoms you have are not physical. And, you go from there.
If, once diagnosed as actually having panic attacks, with no physical reasons, then you learn to deal with it. You learn to "feel" it coming. You may be happily shopping in a mall or whatever, and suddenly feel like you cannot breathe. There is not a breath to be taken in. Your heart pounds. Your vision goes. Your extremities are not responding at all. You feel you are dying right there, right then. My first impulse was always to run, but I felt my body would not cooperate. It did. It always has......because it was panic attacks, and not a heart attack or stroke, etc.
So, you sit down. You pull your car off the road. You stop frying chicken. You take yourself out of harm's way, in other words. You learn to deal with it.
But, if you do not know for sure that this is what is occurring, you're a fool to treat it as anything less than some kind of breakdown in one of your systems. Cuz that's what it feels like. And, anyone who treats that particular feeling without seeking medical advice is a fool.
Any other advice is ludicrous.
Lots of food (pardon the pun) for thought! THANKS SO MUCH EVERYONE!!
Thanks!
you are showing your IGNORANCE
Apparently that is all you have gained from 'getting out, living and learning'.
Knowledge of God is the beginning of wisdom.
I hope you truly 'get smart' by the time you have to give an account for all you have done and not done to the One that made you.
scuse my ignorance,
but what's an SE? Thanks
Sometimes, ignorance is bliss....sm
If I had known EVERYTHING about starting a business and listened to all the naysayers, I never would have done it. Bought a computer, printer, fax, and dictaphone(no on line work then), and sent out letters, flyers, had cards printed, and knocked on dr. office doors to get my own work. I pretty much knew nothing except how to transcribe and was very good at it, I thought! Soon learned I was very good at what I knew but just as green as a newbie with new fields. Ended up with a very successful service and 10-12 employees. Supported my family and still do. Big difference in being prepared now is having the capability to do voice files. Eventually, you need a phone so your name is listed in the phone book and an accountant to do the financial stuff. You just have to have the basic knowledge that you probably already have, and learn as you go.
Sorry, then, was showing my ignorance! :) nm

showing my ignorance
I did not know there were services like that, how do you contact them, what are they called?
I beg your pardon. Some of us who work as IC put in more hours daily than employees!!
Heck, most of us take pride in our work and can run circles around your QA with accuracy! Please, you are way off base.
I agree there are some "fly by night" ICs who just don't care about QA or TAT, but that is not the majority. You can not make a generalized statement for all of us IC MTs. I am respected and paid very well by my Hospital for my accuracy and speed and knowledge!
They say ignorance is bliss. You must be a very ingnorantly

Hate to show my ignorance ... what is ME? nm

scuz my ignorance, whats this about?

Their ignorance doesn't hurt me
as much as the ignorance of people who should know better - like our "supervisors" etc. The only answer to nurses or anybody else who thinks like them is to give them a test tape and let them "have at it". That's usually a good eye opener, or mind opener.
I beg your pardon. I have elderly relatives in nursing homes who are constantly in and out of
hospitals. The elderly especially need our reports to be ACCURATE, as nobody gives a hoot to "talk" about them, let alone doctors getting to actually know and remember patients. EVERYTHING about their acute care in hospitals is taken FROM THE PAPER MEDICAL RECORD, and also when they get bumped back to the nursing home. The caretakers take ALL info from the transfer sheet. Reality check for those who need help most - elderly who cannot rattle off their histories themselves.
Maybe I misunderstood the OP's concern. Pardon if my response doesn't pertain. nm

Okay, I am going to show my ignorance, but don't you still have to have a foot pedal and...sm
so have to be connected to an outlet? I know you can have that on your porch/deck, etc. but that does limit the mobility aspect doesn't it or can it be done without a foot pedal? I don't mean to sound stupid, but this is all new to me.
Ignore them - pure ignorance on the subject
Your obvious ignorance is not worth responding to, NM

Guess I have to show my ignorance -- what is myspace? TIA nm
I hate to show my incredible ignorance, but how do I sm
find out what type of processor my computer has? I know it is a Pentium, but I cannot remember if it is a 3 or a 4. I tried System Tools, but that was of no help at all. :(
Thanks for your help.
I am not feeling well today so pardon if I am making mistakes. I just think that it is time to stop
defending the illegal activities of this company. I know I defended them for many years.
Mensa AND common sense -- prejudice obviously ignorance
Oh bosh. I am a member of Mensa and a medical transcriptionist. I think it is VERY narrow minded of the whole bunch who criticize something they no NOTHING about. Mensa is simply an organization whose qualification is that you test in the top 2 percent on any of a couple of different IQ tests. High IQ and common sense are not mutually exclusive. I have two other comments: Intelligence is matriarchal (look it up) and if you would like the cheapest way of finding out your true IQ Mensa is generally the cheapest way to do it. It used to consist of 15 bucks and a Saturday morning at a university test -- but I'm sure there are more modern ways now. Contact American Mensa and find out. They are a very interesting bunch and have special interest groups which consist of just about any topic you can think of from alcoholics to chocoholics to irish dancing and beyond....
Should I chalk your post up to just plain old ignorance, the fact that you can't read or SM
are you just plain stupid!
get a life, this is extensively documented. Pick up a book some time, ignorance
