I normally try to be very, very careful, but I don't know what happened, but it did.
Feeling a little shaken regarding my skills and attention span right now.
Please tell me I am not the only one who has made an error and had the client send the report back.

Look, you made a mistake.....
no need to go on the defensive and start calling people fanatics. Just because someone loves their dog like their child doesnt make them fanatical. It also does not mean that because their pet is treated like a child that their pet is not trained. Are your children untrained? My goodness! My children behave very well. Treating a pet like a loved child, in my opinion, would mean they are treated with a lot of love tempered with discipline and boundaries. I think that you are fanatical in that you cannot seem to have a normal middle ground when it comes to these two issues.
I made a mistake....
For my hard hyphen I assigned Alt + H, not Ctrl H as I had posted.
I do remember (sort of) trying the hard space and I couldn't get it to work. I believe it put in an extra space. I'm sure I tried the backspace and pause features without luck, got frustrated and quit. I should try playing around with it again because that would be a great time saver. I know I have Dr. in my ESP as dr....but closing up that space would be better.
I believe it put in an extra space. I'm pretty sure I tried several combinationns
I made the mistake of falling for that
pitch in 2004 when I applied at TRS. When I left one month later because they kept running out of work and bouncing me around, I learned to disregard any endorsements.
As it was later explained to me, the award is based on employee votes. Depending on how many people vote, it can be determined by just a handful of people. Hardly a ringing endorsement...
I agree...unless it is something that would likely be a mistake made by everyone...

the guy who posted it obviously made a mistake
because you're right - it shouldn't have been posted here.
Tired of being an MT - Made a mistake.
I have been transcribing over 20 years. All different kinds of specialties. I've had good jobs and bad jobs. Jobs I'm sorry I quit. Anyway, my son works at a gas station that has freshly baked goods and had a job opening for doing the baking there. In a moment of acute hate for my job I jumped at grabbing that one. Now I'm sorry I accepted the job, it involves standing for 8 hours, the pay is about the same as what I'm making now (that's why I want out of MT), but I can't stand for 8 hours a day. I haven't given notice yet to my MT job and I don't want to have this shed a bad light on my son at his job. I just don't think I could be on my feet 8 hours a day. Now I am in a mess. How can I not take the job and not have this reflect on him?
As a side note. I think I don't make enough money as an MT because I spend all my time looking for another job while I'm working, or supposed to be working. HELP!
Wondering
Oopsie. QA lady. I made a mistake.
You were not on the GAB Board but here on the 4th. I was reading all of the craziness yesterday.
Have had three major surgeries and mistakes were made...
So, I fully understand how he forgot but admitting to this would have been worse than saying the procedure was completed. However, you do have a case that can be proven simply by no incision lines that correspond to the operative report's description. Finding any physician who will testify against a high standing member of the medical community sounds like the challenge. Sorry this had to turn into a nightmare for you.
You would think, coming on an MT site, she would not have made a mistake as basic as that.
:p
I'm just waiting 'til the time a mistake is made - SM
in my own healthcare as a result of the doc typing theire own note and messing up, or worse - the work getting messed up offshore. OR my identity getting stolen as a result of offshoring. Then it'll be lawyer-time, and hopefully then my 'ship will come in', and I can retire if I win my case.
All patients should have this in the backs of their minds.
So if someone isn't rolling in money, they have made a life choice mistake
and are living in squallor? Uh, I don't think so. If you're not an MT, why are you even here? You certainly aren't a very helpful or happy little elf.
Double major - BA English/journalism. Did MT while in college and came back after layoff.
amazing, just amazing.....
I sure used his made up anatomy on a report tonight
"upper extremities are intact x4 with lower extremities intact x3" .lol just really trying to picture this patient :)
Once you view it, make sure to reply No to 'save any changes you made?' so the report
s
Proof that it takes only 1 made doctor to gripe about 1 report and out the door you go! nmx

I read back over the whole report ....sm
I don't play the dictation back though. I just read it to make sure no mistakes are in it.
You can go back and check the report if you know your job number.
Do F5 choose detail report type, put in dates you want to search and press run report, then click on the job number you want and under job view choose user output. This is the way it looks when it goes to the client. Hope this helps. 
can't you just hang up on a report and call back in?

Made more back then, did not work
for a large service, had my own business and also worked for a clinic, better pay. Services are stingy. I hard one complaining because half their expenses were MT salaries. I asked him why don't you just get rid of the MTs, then you won't have to pay them. Cheapskates.
I do the same thing. Then when the report is finished, I scan back through
the whole report to make sure I didn't leave any stop code markers behind, and listen to each blank once again.
Not getting back - how much we made gross for the year. nm

Spheris made it public months back that they were going to try and buy them.
They said it in a news release and they were serious. It is my guess that this is a true rumor and if it is then you can expect it to come to a head in about 2-3 weeks. Just be watching
DH ordered it and I made him send it back unopened
I think that was 2005 edition - using 2004 which I found at the time (2004-2005) not to have a lot of the drugs and actually Google and the many, many drug sites were more helpful. Agree with Wise below.
Does Word 2003 do cumulative line counting or does it go back to 0 with each report. nm

It was a $1 a mile, not hour! Made good noney back then. nm

You do not need the 1099. You just need to report the income. Report the company/person ...sm
to the IRS for not sending out the 1099.
I charge the same amount for a "normal" report as for any other report.
You still have to listen to the dictation and change anything that's different. I had one woman try to pull this on me. She'd dictate, "Just pull up my normal, but change this, change that, switch that around, move that, add this, delete that, and change the other." Then she'd only want to pay me what equated to $.03 per line. She wanted 1:1 on her dictation to transcription ratios. I told her to take her cheap account down the road because I'm worth more than that.
i made $15/hr before and didn't stay long because i made so much more on production. sm
that was with full benes too. i wouldn't do it for less than $20, but i think even with $20, i'd want benes. are you in-house?
Oh, a report just came in. A report actually just slid in, can you believe it. Hip Hip Hooray. I
had better get that sucker typed before it gets out of ONE MINUTE TAT.
If you are careful with putting the correct report in the correct report shell and patient, you will
not have any problems. I only take away this option when someone is careless. There can be NO room for error on this. One mistake can be very serious. Many do it well though, so just double check and you will be fine.
It was my first mistake ever...
and I'm sure you've NEVER made a typo in your entire life. You are my idol.  Oh, yes. Uh huh.
Not really NM above. Mistake.

Big mistake for me
I became an MT after my surgery because I can no longer drive at night and can no longer work in a building due to severe dry eye after the procedure. I used to be a computer programmer prior to Lasik, with the same company for 17 years. I miss my old job and my old eyes. My vision is not very good due to irregular astigmatism induced from the Lasik procedure and haze that formed in the cornea. Most people do not realize what can go wrong because you only hear about the good results. Unfortunately, I'm one who ended up with many, many unresolvable problems from this surgery and it has turned my life and freedom upside down.
mistake her for a man - LOL
xx
My mistake
I'm sorry, it is definitely 10,000 lines, I think I must have been seeing 1000 minutes but thinking 100 minutes. Sorry about that. Very long day.
yep, your mistake then. thank you. NM

There is something major going on here
Accounts that used to be really busy have no work. Multiple accounts are asking us not to work on their account for the day. Last night an updated was posted with 100 something jobs available in one account, and then later an oops, sorry, I meant 0 jobs available. What is up with that? Don't know what's happening with this company.
thank you Sandi, appreciate your help! My mistake
meant w/o blank lines but in my haste I worded my post poorly. Sorry!
She's not the only one who makes that mistake....
I had a medical records director 20+ years ago mark on our evaluation under "skill level", that out MT job needed little skill for the job. I refused to sign the evaluation and told her she should be ashamed of herself. Can you believe it? And she had an ART just like me...go figure!
oops mistake
Meant disk failures though your disc in your back could fail. Writing, thinking and typing all at once sometimes throws me off. Mind is working too fast.
SAW ON FOX NEWS SAID IT WAS A MISTAKE
They said Ryan gave a number said to be Chris's, but actually when people called in it was the voting number for the girl!!!! Everyone should hound the Idol website!!! I knew something had to be wrong!!
Just want to avoid the same mistake...nm

You are right...Homans' it is, my mistake. nm

But you get DINERO for doing that! If it's the same mistake,
.
I'm sure she's aware of that mistake! nm

Oops! My mistake...sm
... you can dial in with your Lanier using VOIP just as you can with a regular phone line (I again said C-phone in my post below).
Mistake in post
My point: You mistakes
You forgot the word make. LOL. Couldn't resist
Why not call them and ask if there was a mistake?
Tell them that you were told you'd get pay for training and it didn't appear to be on this check.
Couldn't hurt!
Stoopid mistake
Okay, I need some feedback here. I did this stoopid mistake on one of my accounts over the weekend. I downloaded the jobs, was typing happily along and oh, about 30 reports in realized I had been putting the wrong doc's name on the darned things. AFTER they had been uploaded to the client. I've worked on this account for about six months now, and I have NEVER made this kind of error before. As soon as I was aware of the mistake, I immediately emailed my supervisor, but unfortunately there was nothing I could do to get the reports back and fix the errors.
I know that 'confessing' my mistake was the right thing to do. I also know the client must be pretty upset. To make matters even more embarrassing, I had just asked for more work from the powers that be since my monthly quota is only equal to about an average week's lines.
I guess I am looking for someone to tell me that I am not the only person who has done something so very stoopid. I hope I don't end up losing my job over this. It is the first major mistake I have made, so hopefully the company wouldn't be so short-sighted, but you never know. We had just gotten an email memo from the pres of the company a few weeks ago saying how since there were not enough reliable, quality MTs out there, the company is switching totally to VRE by the end of the year. Anyhow...
You can bet I will pay extra-close attention to the next jobs I get, if I get any...Can't believe I did this.
What do you all think? Thanks...
That to me is a very understandable mistake (sm)
I'm betting he does not end the report by saying his name - so you just assumed it was the same doctor each time and nothing jolted you to let you think otherwise - very understandable in my mind - I did secretarial work for 25 years before this and have done this for 13 - totally think innocent mistake - proud of you for owning up to it and not defending it - you made the mistake, corrected it and moved on - enough said. Chin up - you are still a good MT!!
Probably a simple mistake...sm
You know this is not supposed to be perfect. We are posting on here on free time when we let our guard down. Sometimes we don't go back and proofread our posts. When we are working we proofread and make sure things are right. I assume you never make mistakes?
