It's really not a great idea to disable Windows updates. Just because updates are scheduled to be
installed, does not mean 7.0 will be automatically installed on your pc. You will always receive a notification when installing anything other than critical updates, which 7.0 is not.
Glad to hear it's not just me!
Maybe we should start a support group for people like us :)
Glad to hear that it is not (SM)
a clot. As I was reading your post and "pedal edema," it made me think of how my right ankle hurts at night from all the pedal pushing during the day!! It is truly a case of pedal edema for us folks!! 
Seriously though, I hope you get totally better. 
So glad to hear you say that
I had answered a post because the poster said really hard to work from home and she did not know about, I guess, about taking things off on taxes such as part of the electricity, gas bills and I was just stating what I do and how I try to cut down on my bills so as to not overspend. I, like you, have never ever had anyone to think I have a bon-bon job at home. I think when you let people take advantage of you, they will. Expecting a phone call the other day that was important, caught it only to have a sales pitch. I told the person working, sorry and he said well I will only take a few minutes of your time. Then I said, no you won't- told you I was working and hung up. It sure is simple for me.
Glad to hear
I have a nurse practitioner friend who goes crazy with the transcription...account MUST be verbatim. She was telling me that the MT will type
"and please send a copy to -------" instead of doing a cc:
Personally I think it's crazy. For me, I'd like to use my brain when I'm transcribing. Of course that is MHO.
Glad to hear
I'm not alone. Do any of you ever just trust that it must have been said and not re-listen?
Also because physicians often use abnormal sentences (leaving out little words, etc.), it makes it hard to know when proofing if I missed a word or if it was dictated that way. I like double check though, because sometimes I did leave a word out.
Glad (or sad) to hear that I am not the only one.
Maybe time to look for a place that does not use Escription.
Glad to hear it!
Back around the dawn of time when I started transcribing, it was DISC. Always, always, always. Then disk started coming into style, though it set my teeth on edge, especially the glaring "diskectomy" which I thought everyone KNEW was wrong.
So glad to hear disc is making a comeback!
I am glad to hear that...
Over the years as we have been warned about our jobs ending because of VR, I didn't lose any sleep over it. I think VR is a good thing when it works - and it obviously must work in your case - my experience with it was not so good. VR, to me, is an entirely different ballgame than being the second or third in line to edit reports that could as well be typed once by a skilled Transcriptionist in the US.
Glad to hear about your home...
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all
I'm glad to hear she is enjoying
her life!
glad to hear you made it through
Some of us who work for that ___ company might be experiencing some stress and some of the same symptoms in the near future. Its so important to keep yourself healthy with "yunguns" you're responsible for.. God bless you
Hey Jodie, glad to hear all is well.
You're still in my thoughts and prayers. Keep strong and don't let the trolls get to you. There are still those of us here who care about your situation even though we don't really know you.
Glad to hear you testify!!!
Now if we could only do something about it...........
Glad to hear you are leaving MQ
Honestly, I don't know how you put up with that for 10 years.
I was hired there 5 years ago at 8 cents/line and that was fresh out of school. They even bumped me up to 8.5 shortly before I ended up quitting. They have been screwing you over bad.
I'm glad you didn't do those things. I, for one, was just SM
trying to keep you from doing something so unbusinesslike that it might prevent you from getting a position somewhere else. I have many, many years' experience in all facets of medical transcription, MTSO, employee, IC, head of the department in a large hospital. You name it.
Bottom line is that your thinking was wrong. It may be your business to keep a roof over your family's head and food on the table, but it's not the doctor's responsibility and he shouldn't even know your name. His business is with the MTSO. To go around her and whine to her clients would be a very bad misstep for you.
It is MTSO's business to keep her roof and her food. She does that by meeting TAT and doing it without excuses. That's her job.
Glad to hear you all had a good time. :)

Glad to hear you have found your "nitch", and
It is so nice to have a place to go where there are others who can understand where you are coming from. Good luck on your new job! 
Along these lines, I have another experience you will all be glad to hear...sm
I personally know of a large company that had always maintained they would not outsource but then felt forced to give it a try. It lasted one month, and they quit doing it because of the extremely poor quality of work being returned to them. You must understand that this is a company that is really needing people, as most of the larger ones are, and even in their highly motivated frame of mind to do something to fill their need for help they made the decision in one month that outsourching was not going to work. This should serve as a good reminder to all of us of the importance of exerting ourselves in terms of achieving and maintaining high accuracy. Being thoroughly familiar with the rules regarding grammar and punctuation in addition to the medical content we need to be familiar with may be a "gag-me" experience for some, but it's important that we stay on top of it. It's what separates those who do this work from those who wish they could.
the things we hear
When I worked inhouse for a local trans company, I used to do a local orthopedic surgeon and a few times, doing preop H&P's early in the morning, yes, he too would *pass flatus*, LOL. The things I have heard over the years!
things we hear
I have one doc that really po's me. He mocks the patient, like talking in hillbilly using their slang or Indian or Hispanic...just makes me furious that he's that disrespectful and to top it off, went to the hospital web page, looked him up and he does not have any grounds to make fun of anyone by his looks..........can you say he look's like a slob, needs to have his teeth cleaned and comb his hair..ughhhhhhh
I am glad I waited to hear results on this before buying. sm
I need something that gives truly better syllable discrimination, and most head phones are geared for listening to music, not voice. I still have not found anything better than stethoscope earphones for that purpose.
I am so glad to hear you talk about VR in a good light
I have a jewel of a platform and you can make a decent salary. It is not garbage and like you said, the people here complaining are ones who do not have a good system. You have to be fast in scanning and hearing. If you are a slow typist to begin with, I have no idea how this would play into a person who does really good with VR. I do not fit that category and the people I have know that did VR did not either.
Glad to hear that my adult knitting friends and I are "trashy."

Wonderful! So nice to hear good things like this!

Most men can't hear the tiny tings, noises that cars make, and things like
an alarm clock. A doctor I used to work for did the same thing in the bathroom too. But, I never heard a plop! Thank Goodness.
updates
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/render.aspx?displaylang=en&content=updateservices#
click "Microsoft Update"
click "Express"
you have to do this in Internet Explorer.
updates
the whole software was installed via net, and they say there has been no problem ever with that with other users, and it seems this is the latest software they are having.
They don't do yearly updates and never have. If you must
get hysterical about something at least get the real information about what you are carrying on about. Statements like this just make folks dismiss what you are saying because you don't know what you are talking about.
Anyone more updates on MQ bankruptcy?
 When I read that note on this board a week or two ago, it got me really worried. I'm working really hard right now training on a new MQ account, and the thought of losing my job in the near future makes me want to cry. Any feedback out there? Does anyone know what's going on?
Go to CNN.com for all of your news updates.
I also get my local newspaper online free. Why pay and kill trees when the highlights are all on the internet?
Automatic updates, or
http://www.microsoft.com/dst2007
You may have to update your calendaring programs and some cell phones as well.
Did security updates; seems all better now. -- nm
I have an HP and intermittently get updates for it...sm
Might try that before you uninstall and reinstall. Good luck!
Waiting for what? They don't do yearly updates.
What else is there to say? But if you want to keep on whining about something that is untrue be my guest.
Stedman's with the yearly updates. nm
s
MS Word has updates, just as Windows does. Have you
.
I was only going to get the book, but no more online updates. sm
You need to get the CD in order to get updates. Ellen Drake said on www.mtchat.com that the CD is much better than last year's.
It will still work, but will not allow you to receive updates.
.
I use Avast...it updates almost every day and runs in the background....
all the time. If I get an email attachment within attachment from forwards, it checks all of them before I even open it. It's a free program, too.
Thanks! Do you have a spellcheck that includes drug updates?
The Stedman's and then you buy the yearly updates afterward. nm

Has anyone updated yet to the new version of XP to 7.0 on updates and how does it work.
:
I have used Spellex for years never had a problem with the updates
I'm sorry to hear that. To each his/her own. I have used Spellex for years never had a problem with the updates. I would encourage anyone to try out software before you buy it.
Need to load some microsoft updates, need assistance here
I was told to go to microscoft and upload the latest - got the information to go to windows and click the express button and download and install. Where in the heck is the express button? Don’t see that anywhere. Thanks.
Brain dead today - or is it hear hear? I'm going to bed.

Marry me?! :) Seriously...hear, hear. Good post. - nm

If you have not switched over to the new website for MQ updates call 800 dictate and get that done
and you will find that news on there.
Where I am, using Winscribe, the supervisor on duty routine gives updates (sm)
with who is working on a particular account, how many jobs there are, if any have been kicked back (she/he can tell as they are out of sequence, obviously taken into someones local queue and then returned to the pool. The name of those working at any given time is announced, this lets us know if someone comes on board during unscheduled hours without clocking in.
It is great for me as I follow the rules. We are not to take jobs into the local queue (cherrypicking) and we are not to work outside of scheduled hours unless it is granted and there is ample work for the person coming on board so they do not take away from the regularly scheduled MTs. I love my job!
