Sometimes I post things I wish I could go back and delete.

In Reply to: Yeah, I had a huge long vent about mine, but I deleted it - LOL
Although, I think when people say things like what you mentioned, they are speaking out of fear. Of course, everyone wants to be married, they just don't want the heartaches. And some of us are no good at picking the right person for us. However, I understand when you are just having a bad day and need to vent and I hope others understand that too. I do wish the best with your marriage and family. Take care.

Please Delete my Post.
Now I am Jodi, what do you say?
Sorry, again half my post is missing. Should say how do I delete the date and patient name so it st
Thanks.
Obviously to get out of paying MTs for something in the whole scheme of things or to cut back on QA
personnel or all of the above.
Turn off puter, wait a min, turn on with delete key pressed down, then hit delete key NUMEROUS times

The things you post on this board clearly
say that you are a lonely man! Get a woman and then get a life!
But if people who know things do not post
it on the board, how should TechSupport know that some people already know it?
So she offers her knowledge in a, as she explained it,
rather extensive and elaborate way, so to give all the information and avoid misunderstandings.
End of discussion!
Today is Saturday, my free day, I have to bake a chocolate-cream-cheese cake for my daughter who comes and visits!
Have a nice Saturday evening!
Even if I had two things, I would not post about them. I respect my husband too much!

3 things about your post. First, Ann is from Alaska. 2. I am in GA and we understand each other sm
perfectly fine. 3. I guess I am a bad American because I HATE CNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No I don't know these things, I am sorry, I guess I jumped the gun on an MT post. Sorry , really
n
Your post above states that if alllll these things would happen, THEN
MTs would care about quality, loyalty....
I say you should care, period. If you're handed a bad hand, deal with it...or change games.
Sorry I did proof my post but I swear things moved around
Sorry for the typos.
Yes, she had post partum depression AND post partum psychosis. I posted on this a while back, and
it explained the two. The psychosis actually develops after the depression. Scary stuff.
Going back to the old post about
people who don't understand our jobs as MTs, I wanted to add a couple of comments I recently received at a HS reunion about which I just sigh: When asked what I do for a living, one person said that she learned medical terminology and ShortHand in the past, realized shorthand is no longer used and thought medical transcription was obsolete/now fully automated. I briefly attempted to explain what MTs do and about automated speech recognition, but she didn't seem too interested. Another comment I received was how it would be nice to work when you want to; I didn't feel like explaining about having scheduled hours/punching in and out, TAT, production goals, etc., and just let it go...
I think the next time someone asks what I do for a living, I am going to say that somedays I am a magician, most days I'm involved in a race, and that at all times I am required to be a good interpreter!
ok I went back and re-read your post.
You have 2 toddlers who need daycare.
You have a teen (the childsupport)
You have $350 roomie but that + disappears with his costs of living there. and I would be scared to count on it.
You have $9500 CC bill which that payment is probably about $200 a month.
At $42,000 that is not solid money - it is PT monies.
1. Can the BF come up with his probable court-ordered child support of at least $1000 a month?
2. Do you make car payments?
3. How much is your student loan payment - and for how much longer?
4. Do you have a degree in something? Should you stay in transcription?
5. Can you make the house payments if the BF finks out on the child support in 2 years if your 16 yo moves out and gets married and doesn't attend college?
6. You will be at an expensive time in your life with the 1 and 2 YO/ who will then be 3 and 4 years old by then and still needing day care.
7. A house is expensive upkeep. And much energy.
I agree with the others. Don't jump the gun here. Take care of one thing at a time. Get yourself into a situation where you won't be stressed if there comes a blip in the road - like you break your arm - or the car tears up - or you need an emergency root canal - one of the kids breaks a leg and you need to stay home. There are a million things.
I would rent, move BF out, get childsupport started from him to see how that goes, re-look at the budget.
when the FT job comes around, and if you feel it is the one for you and they are good for the money, then look at the house. You must live for you, not the 16 YO.
By then you will have your FT monies coming in, the child support coming in, you will know what your extra income is, you will have all your insurances in place and leave time built up, and a house may be good by then. Also, the market is overvalued right now. They are saying people buying right now may be buying things that won't be worth what they paid for them in a year.
Do you have any family you could stay with at all for 6 months. You need some breathing space, girl.
Again, good luck.
First off, go back and read your post sm
and grade yourself. Start out by paying attention to what needs to be capitalized in your post. I see at least 11 areas. I see a word that should be plural instead of singular. One sentence is not a complete sentence. Maybe you need to go over these sections in your course again. They are generally in the very beginning.
There was a post here awhile back about sm
someone using a heated keyboard -- that might help. I have used the typing gloves before when my hands/wrists were flaring up, but I generally found they slowed me down a bit. However, if your fingers and hands are cold and stiff, that slows you down too, so it might be worth it. Hand-Eze is the only brand name I can think of, but I am sure there are lots of others to choose from. You can usually find them at places that sell craft supplies, maybe a little less expensive than the sites on the web. Good luck.
Here's a post from way back in 2004 (sm)
If we still cannot get an organized group of MT's to write and innundate the senate and congress with letters or some kind of petition than we should all give us and do what a poster said "just give up tilting at windmills"...are you ready to give up? (PS the first address for the San Francisco Gate is still active and is the full article. The second address for the Deccan Herald is no longer active. Read the San Francisco Gate article and weep!)

Hello _______,
As a born and raised American I am appalled at the number of jobs that are being moved overseas by US based companies, all claiming that they need to cut costs. This is hurting the US Economy and boosting the economy for countries such as India and Pakistan. I am a manager with a medical transcription company and our industry has been infiltrated by these other countries. There is growing concern in the medical community regarding HIPAA and overseas transcription, since HIPAA is a US based law and not international. It concerns me greatly that the health care providers that are sending information out of this country are not informing patients of this, and the fact that patient names, social security numbers and other identifying data is made available to people in these other countries.
Recently a medical Transcriptionist in Pakistan threatened the University of California at San Francisco Medical Center that if they didn't pay her off a large fee then she would disclose these patient medical records. Here's their newspaper article that explains in detail what happened:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/10/22/MNGCO2FN8G1.DTL
In addition to that situation, a medical transcriptionist company in Ohio had 2 of their employees in India threaten to publish medical records on the internet because of a pay dispute:
http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/nov04/c2.asp
I would appreciate your consideration in supporting or initiating legislation to keep jobs in America, not only for the medical transcription and coding business, but for all American jobs. I would suggest that stiff taxes be placed on any American business that sends work out of this country to the point that it would cost them more money to send work out of this country than leaving it here. In addition, I would like to see the HIPAA laws expanded to state that medical records may not leave this country due to patient confidentiality and security reason.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Thank you for taking the time to post back....sm
I'm sure he must be depressed, and my brother also. I'll bring up the subject to him and see if I can make him see that they are really needing some outside help here, more than we can do just as family members. You bring up a lot of good points. Thanks again.
You better go back and read the ORIGINAL post again -
What a self-righteous
be-** ch.
and all that is in your post to back that up is a red face for reasoning?
??
This is the last time I will post on this subject or back to you beacuse
you are most definitely a very unhappy person who needs something to fuss about...... It can never only cost 7.5% more because your social security and taxes are based on how much you make. When you add your IC income it is different for everyone, depending on what tax bracket they are in, and yes it cost me more. Even if it were 7.5% I would still say it is not worth it for ME but that is my opinion - you are free to have yours.
P.S. I do fill out my own taxes because I also refuse to pay anybody more than it is worth to do them when I can go buy Turbo Tax and fill them out myself. If you really want to see the difference, fill out your Taxes without your IC income and then put it in and see the difference!
Fine. Be sure to post back here in a year and tell me about her at-home job. nm

To adminstrators. Love your new format. Could you please back the actual time of the post.
Love the little smiley faces that can be added too. And the print. Just bring back the time along with the date of post if possible.
Bringing the head lice post back up. This has been going around at my daughter's school.
Saturday, after having been checking her head all week, found lice on her head. Did the treatment on her, on me, DH and other daughter, just in case. Only youngest and myself apparently had them. Got rid of the lice, now need to deal with the eggs. No problem with daughter's head because I am meticulous and have been checking daily and removing anything I find. My problem is my own head. Oldest daughter tried to look through, but she had hard time, though she tried. Husband "I don't see anything", so not much help. I can't look at my own head, so my dilema is how do I get the eggs off my own head and keep them from rehatching? Any help/advice would be appreciated. Never gone throught his before.
Bad things? what bad things? people's being petty and small?

Please don't delete - We need you!
I do not understand why this post continues to be deleted. I am simply stating what you have already said in your statement to the board. It IS sad to think that this wonderful board, who has been so supportive of American MTs, seems to have given up the good fight. I truly believe if legislation to enforce HIPAA regulations, as well as regulations on financial records, is focused on, rather than simply trying to compete monetarily with offshoring (which, frankly, we cannot do), we will have a real chance of at least stopping the flow of medical and financial personal records from leaving this country. Just because outsourcing exists does not make it right, and as long as we continue to fight it there is a chance to make a real difference. There are still many, MANY physicians for whom the "bottom line" is not the most important aspect of transcription, and many others who have experience offshore transcription first hand and realize the quality is not there. As long as there are people in this industry like Sheri with integrity and the willingness to fight for what they believe, even if it is against the odds, there is hope. THAT is why I am quite saddened to see this particular forum, one of the staunchest supporters of US-only transcription for US physicians, fall by the wayside. I don't think I"m bashing anyone. I'm just hoping you will reconsider. We need people like you!!
I just hit DELETE.
I never say a word to them
Delete what???
At what point does delete that go to far? It's an op note and I get the pre and post diagnosis, procedure, surgeon, asst, anesthesia, etc. Then she goes on to hpi, ros, fh, sh, meds, allergies, and exam. After exam she realizes that she's doing an op note and tells me to delete that and start over from preop diagnosis. Needles to say she was an extremely difficult to understand ESL, wasted about 20 minutes of typing time that I won't get paid for and I had to split my shift.
Sorry y'all it was vent or scream. I chose the vent to not wake up the family.
delete it
when i worked in editscript, i typed right through microsoft word. it was prerequisite that i get rid of all msworks or it would mess everything up. i would delete msworks.
delete key
The reason the delete key is not above the arrow keys is that with this keyboard you will do as much work with your thumbs as possible. This is part of what makes it ergonomic, & I would strongly suggest re-learning "delete" in its current position rather than try to circumvent their system. When I first got my Kinesis keyboard 7 years ago I went through a whole relearning process that was kind of slow & frustrating but worth it in the long run, & now I'm glad I didn't try to do an end-run around their thought process.
But you program keys this way:
Hit "Program" (upper right-hand corner) + F11. The 4 keyboard lights will flash quickly. Then hit the key you want to reprogram. The lights will flash slowly. Then keystroke what you want the key to do. When you are finished hit Program + F11 again. The lights will go out. It's programmed.

Delete resume
I am trying to delete my resume from the bank and can modify but can't figure out how to delete it. Help, please.
why do you want to delete your resume - sm
are you getting too many calls for work??? If you are, then I want to put my resume on there!!!
Please delete the below posts
Thank you.
Delete them.........esp if you no longer do them...
For private MDs, I only keep their diskettes 6 months, since ALL the work and an additional diskette has been provided when I returned the work.........
If you worked for a national, you need to send the diskettes to them I would think.........that is, IF you worked for a national MT company. If not, I'd just delete them..........keeping the floppies for myself.........for future....(yep, I still use floppy disks...*LOL*).........
You say you can't cancel it - does that mean you can't delete it?
Have you tried using both the delete button on your keyboard and the delete icon in Outlook Express?
If your camera came with any kind of software, you should be able to reduce the size of the pictures so that this won't happen again. A lot of times I will do a test email and send the picture to myself to be sure it isn't too large.
If your camera didn't come with software and you don't have Photoshop (and don't want to spend the bucks for Photoshop), there are lots of freeware/shareware downloads for basic photo editing software. Just Google it and I'm sure you will find something that fits your needs.
not sure on this, but maybe just delete and replace nm

Delete the abbrev and put it in again sm
You have inadvertently hit the enter key at some point in this process. If you have added it as a Smart Block, this is just what happens and is why I don't use that facet of it in Word.
Delete Key question
Forgive my ignorance, but is there any way I can assign another key to work as a delete key? - Thanks! 
Delete manually
C\:Documents and Settings
Select the User and there you will find a folder "Favorites" usually with a star icon. Open and delete the links manually in it.

Curious, if a dictator has you delete...
several lines of dictation or even a whole report after you typed it, do you charge for it? I never have because if someone were to check my lines, they obviously wouldn't match. I've never really thought about it until just this second where I was asked to "go back and scratch all that." Total downer, know what I'm sayin?
You could just go through and delete all the blank lines.
Since it is just a test, why not try doing that?
ExpressScribe - how do I delete files?
How do I delete old audio files from ExpressScribe? These are the ones that I can go and recover if I've deleted from my main screen but they are still backed up. I've got a ton and don't need to keep any of them - they are just taking up memory space. Anyone know?
