Do you know what causes the discrepancies in character counts between Word and Dictaphone (specifically ExText)? I have been wondering about this for a while. The line count at my company is 65 characters including spaces. TIA

Never mind. I just located the info. SM
Samuel Nowlin Reeves (geologist) is his FATHER.
Wow. This girl swears up and down that the late Christopher Reeves is his father.... DUH... I don't think so.
Thanks anyways. (Cant wait to tell her na na na na na tomorrow. LOL)
I do not mind divulging my info on that
I work for a small company and make 9.5 cents per line and 10.5 cents on the weekends.
I am going to ask for a raise soon though.
Keep in mind that it will take you a good sm
five years before you can make a decent income at MT, and five years from now, who knows where this industry will be. Just being realistic, not negative.
not good for your mind or hands,
i would highly recommend an ergo board such as the kinesis if you continue with the same company.
It is so good to know I'm not just losing my mind!
Just out of curiosity, what does the 'sticky key feature' do? What benefit is there in using it?
I always keep in mind we have it so good in this country...
it could be so much worse, is my view. I've been doing this 30+ years. When you feel unhappy and bitter, try tuning into something on TV besides Dancing with the Stars and fluff like that; check out European Journal or the another PBS show that lets you see the everyday life for the average Indian. Always makes me shut my mouth and thank God I have what I have as it could be taken away at any time. Just my 2 cents.
In my mind there is a lot more that goes into a good employee/worker (sm)
than production - and you know this as long as you have been in this business!! I would just go on doing what you do best and doing the very best you can and not worry about the figures. Best of luck to you!!
I don't mind paying for a good program. ;) nm

I copied and pasted, hope you do not mind but this is really good (NM)

Being a former CMT by exam, thank you for speaking my mind! Good post!

Okay, Thanks for all the good info
I am so glad I checked the chat line here before I quit for the day. Thanks for all the helpful info. I think the major problem with MQ and the employees and why so many are so upset is that they leave us in the dark so much. Plus, every office seems to operate by a different formula, which gets some people understandably upset. AND, MTing as a career is definitely NOT what it used to be, meaning a respected, good paying career. With nationalization, the pay has decreased, there is offshoring, which MQ participates in, AND, most of all, we all seem to be no more than an employee number now instead of a valued employee! Hey! I'd better get down from my soap box and go join the family before hitting the sack! Thanks again.
Looking for Info, good or bad, regarding
TC Transcription out of Florida. Taking on a second position with them and wondering if anybody has had any experience with them. Good and bad appreciated, if any. I posted on the company board but did not get any response (that could be good or bad).
THANK YOU! You have given me some good info!
I was just looking for information and not just opinions. Your post was very helpful. Thank you again! 
Good info - Thank you! (nm)

I appreciate you taking the time to give me the tips! Now if I can just get used to the fact I will have an empty nest 
boss this to me the other day and really has a lot of good info; sm
cancer classifications
stage and grade
Lowercase stage and grade.
Use roman numerals for cancer stages. For subdivisions of cancer stages, add capital letters on the line and arabic suffixes, without internal spaces or hyphens.
stage 0 (indicates carcinoma in situ)
stage I, stage IA
stage II, stage II3
stage III
stage IV, stage IVB
Use arabic numerals for grades.
grade 1
grade 2
grade 3
grade 4
Aster-Coller
Staging system for colon cancer from the least involvement at stage A and B1 through the most extensive involvement at stage D.
The patient's Aster-Coller B2 lesion extends through the entire thickness of the colon wall, with no involvement of nearby nodes.
Broders index
Classification of aggressiveness of tumor malignancy developed in the 1920s by AC Broders. Reported as grade 1 (most differentiation and best prognosis) through grade 4 (least differentiation and poorest prognosis).
Lowercase grade; use arabic numerals.
Broders grade 3
cervical cytology
Three different systems are currently in use for cervical cytology: the Papanicolaou test (Pap smear), the CIN classification system, and the Bethesda system.
The Papanicolaou test uses roman numerals to classify cervical cytology samples from class I (within normal limits) through class V (carcinoma).
CIN is an acronym for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and is expressed with arabic numerals from grade 1 (least severe) to grade 3 (most severe). Place a hyphen between CIN and the numeral.
CIN-1,CIN-2, CIN-3
or CIN grade 1, CIN grade 2, CIN grade 3
A cervical cytology sample that is within normal limits in the Bethesda system corresponds with a Pap class I or II; Bethesda's atypical squamous cell of undetermined significance (ASCUS) corresponds with Pap class III; Bethesda's low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LGSIL) corresponds with Pap class III and CIN grade 1; and Bethesda's high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HGSIL) corresponds with Pap classes III and IV and CIN grades 2 and 3. In the Bethesda system, the next higher level is labeled simply "carcinoma," corresponding with Pap class V and with "carcinoma" in the CIN system.
Clark level
Describes invasion level of primary malignant melanoma of the skin from the epidermis.
Use roman numerals I (least deep) to IV (deepest). Lowercase level.
Clark level I into underlying papillary dermis
Clark level II to junction of papillary and reticular dermis
Clark level III into reticular dermis
Clark level IV into the subcutaneous fat
Dukes classification
Named for British pathologist Cuthbert E. Dukes (1890-1977). Classifies extent of operable adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum.
Do not use an apostrophe before or after the s. Follow Dukes with capital letter.
Dukes A confined to mucosa
Dukes B extending into the muscularis mucosae
Dukes C extending through the bowel wall, with
metastasis to lymph nodes
When the Dukes classification is further defined by numbers, use arabic numerals on the same line with the letter, with no space between.
Dukes C2
FAB classification
French-American-British morphologic classification system for acute nonlymphoid leukemia.
Express with capital M followed by arabic numeral (1 through 6); do not space between the M and the numeral.
M1 myeloblastic, no differentiation
M2 myeloblastic, differentiation
M3 promyelocytic
M4 myelomonocytic
M5 monocytic
M6 erythroleukemia
FAB staging of carcinoma utilizes TNM classification of malignant tumors
See: (TNM staging below).
FAB T1 N1 M0
FIGO staging
Federation Internationale DE Gynécologie et Obstétrique system for staging gynecologic malignancy, particularly carcinomas of the ovary. Expressed as stage I (least severe) to stage IV (most severe), with subdivisions within each stage (a, b, c).
Lowercase stage, and use roman numerals. Use lowercase letters to indicate subdivisions within a stage.
Diagnosis: Ovarian carcinoma, FIGO stage IIc.
Gleason tumor grade
Also known as Gleason score. The system scores or grades the prognosis for adenocarcinoma of the prostate, with a scale of 1 through 5 for each dominant and secondary pattern; these are then totaled for the score. The higher the score, the poorer the prognosis.
Lowercase grade or score, and use arabic numerals.
Diagnosis: Adenocarcinoma of prostate, Gleason score 8.
Gleason score 3 + 2 = 5.
Gleason 3 + 3 with a total score of 6.
Jewett classification of bladder carcinoma
Use capitals as follows:
O in situ (Note: this is the letter O, not a zero)
A involving submucosa
B involving muscle
C involving surrounding tissue
D involving distant sites
Diagnosis: Bladder carcinoma, Jewett class B.
Karnofsky rating scale, Karnofsky status
Scale for rating performance status of patients with malignant neoplasms.
Use arabic numerals: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100. (Normal is 100, moribund is 10.)
TNM staging system for malignant tumors
System for staging malignant tumors, developed by the American Joint Committee on Cancer and the Union Internationale Contre le Cancer.
T tumor size or involvement
N regional lymph node involvement
M extent of metastasis
Write TNM expressions with arabic numerals on the line and a space after each number.
T2 N1 M1
T4 N3 M1
Letters and symbols following the letters T, N, and M:
X means assessment cannot be done.
0 (zero) indicates no evidence found.
Numbers indicate increasing evidence of the characteristics represented by those letters.
Tis indicates tumor in situ.
Tis N0 M0
The TNM system criteria for defining cancer stages vary according to the type of cancer. Thus a stage II cancer of one type may be defined as T1 N0 M0, while one of another type may be defined as T2 N1 M0.
Staging indicators are used along with TNM criteria to define cancers and assess stages. These are expressed with capital letters and arabic numerals.
grade GX, G1, G2, G3, G4
host performance H0, H1, H2, H3, H4
lymphatic invasion LX, L0, L1, L2
residual tumor RX, R0, R1, R2
scleral invasion SX, S0, S1, S2
venous invasion VX, V0, V1, V2
prefixes
Lowercase prefixes on the line with TNM and other symbols indicate criteria used to describe and stage the tumor, e.g., cTNM, aT2.
letter determining criteria
a autopsy staging
c clinical classification
P pathological classification
r retreatment classification
y, yp classification during or following treatment with multiple
modalities
suffixes
The suffix (m) (in parentheses) indicates the presence of multiple primary tumors in a single site. Other suffixes may be used, such as the following in the nasopharynx:
T2a nasopharyngeal tumor extending to soft
tissues of oropharynx and/or nasal fossa
without parapharyngeal extension
T2b nasopharyngeal tumor extending to soft
tissues of oropharynx and/or nasal fossa
with parapharyngeal extension
Good info here. As for the mail........sm
I just write "refused" on the envelope and put it right back into the mail. It may take a couple of times for them to get the message, but they will take you off their list if you do this.
any info good or bad would be appreciated
on JLG and All Type. Speaking with one, actual offer from the other but not sure about either. Concern for more is flexibility which they both promise, but I heard that one before.
Lots of good info Ace...Thanks. NM
nm
just need a few good pieces of info
from what i understand, name, address, ph#, esp w/SS#, birth date, maiden name .... everyone should definitely educate themselves about this, as its very widespread now.
surgical equipment info is good

any bit of info is good to know; ignore the post below

Good cardiology info site?
I don't think you'll get a good answer from the info...
you provided. It varies too much from location to location.
I've seen some MTs on here that say inhouse in their area make less than $10 an hour. Our local starts newbies (providing they pass the tests) at $16.79 an hour.
Need some good oncology sites. Any info appreciated. nm

Bells palsy and chronic headaches? Does anyone have any good info or help out there? sm
Unfortunately, I have had Bells palsy for the past 8 years. I got it while pregnant and had a pretty severe case. I was extremely sick with that pregnancy and then ended up with the Bells palsy. In fact, my baby quit growing after I got the Bells palsy! Thank God I was about 32 weeks when I got it. Anyway, over time the symptoms have not been as bad. For the most part to look at me you couldnt tell I had the Bells--until I smiled at you. Then, of course, you would know it. I have regained some use of muscles, but not all. I have been able to get my eye to close, but it is not tight, so I still battle with dry eye every night/morning. My forehead has been completely "dead" since this happened. Even electric stim could not move the muscle! Whenever I get a headache it always seems to settle on the dead part of my forehead. My headaches have been increasing lately, and currently I have had a headache for five days! I have tried Advil, Tylenol and Excedrin Migraine with no relief. My neurologist cant see me until January since I havent been to him for years. I can not afford an MRI right now and have no desire to start taking any type of pain med. Does anyone have any experience with Bells or have any ideas. I was wondering if a TENS unit might help. I have been reading about that on the internet. Sorry this is so long. Thank you for any help. As you can imagine, I am having a very hard time working all day at my computer with this!
do a google search-were many hits and should find good info--nm

Do an archive search - good info posted a few weeks ago.

A good place to get reasonable, objective info regarding ADHD is CHADD
just keep it in mind for the future. www.chad.org. Also there are some informative videos at coolnurse.com. About 10 videos regarding ADHD. you will have do a search on the site but it's worth it. If it's in her father's family it could be possible that she has it, and if so, you needed to get educated about it and be her advocate. School systems respond very well to confident, well prepared parents who come in to meet for a plan that allows for reasonable accomodations. I've been doing it for years.
Emdat platform?? Good, bad or ugly? Any info is appreciated. Thanks in advance. NM

Thank you fellow MT. I love that site.....good source of info without the complaing....
Thanks again.
Thank you fellow MT. I love that site.....good source of info without the complaining....
Thanks again.
Your mind was in the gutter up there with sauteed stool, too. Would you please take your mind out of
demographic info is not the only info ...sm
protected by HIPAA, as we all know. I saw that ad too and was surprised to see it. Any identifying info is considered Protected Health Information, including diagnoses, tests, etc. This MTSO should have known better than to ask for that.
That is a good offer. Pay is not that good at UIMC. Good luck! nm

Would you mind ...
sharing that site with me? You can email me personally at kathy.eberle@gmail.com. I did get that very email and would like to know what everyone else has to say! Thanks!
Kathy
LOL! Never mind - I see it now.
I was sure it wasn't there a minute ago!
Keep in mind, please......
That if a company has more than, say, 10 accounts, that the recruiters just might not KNOW how difficult an account is. When you get a requisition for account #67, there's no telling whether it's the best account on the planet, or the worst.
Don't mind
Actually don't mind the lower income right then, because I am selling my house and can afford to lose a little, knowing that after the first of the year or so I can get my line count back up.
keep in mind
In addition to the good comments made above you must also be aware that if you are going to a program that may upgrade occasionally and is not static you may well run the risk of losing your autotext entries. If you are really good about backing up your files, good for you and no problems really, but if you are like the rest of us and forget more than you remember to back up .. you could have one horrible day when you see the file not convert or some such ugly thing!
If you don't mind (sm)
your money being used to support anti-reproductive choice terrorism, go ahead and join.
Please keep in mind
how good you are feeling since beginning the drug, and that all drugs are very individual in how they event anyone. You really should not make a decision for yourself regarding some one's experience.
Never mind...duh

Do you mind me asking...
what company do you work for and are they hiring? I have been an Editor for 15 years and am having a hard time find a good company to work for. Thanks
Please keep in mind that many
of the people on this site work at home. Some have forgotten (some never knew) how to interact with others in a courteous and professional manner.
Please keep in mind (sm)
that he will tell you anything you will want to hear. One thing I had to ask myself when I was going thru this was, is this someone that I would want my daughter married to? I repeated that question to myself any time I was tempted to "try again."
where at and of what...if you don't mind my asking...TIA (NM)
I have! You can do anything you set your mind to!
nm
There are many, but the ones that come to mind first are...
I love him because of the way he loves me. He's not fake, pretentious or condescending. He's funny, talented, and is a true gentleman in every sense of the word. Besides that, he's not afraid to go to the store JUST for a box of tampons ;) ... He's the absolute best and I've never been happier.
