Well it seems like I did not accidentally erase the tapes.  I accidentally put one somwhere else in my haste and the other one I did not get evidentally as the Dr. Went on vacation the following day and did not put in the envelope.  But when both were missing I immediately blamed myself and remembered erasing two tapes and put two and two together.  So that made me realize that I need to slow down.  But when I told the doctor (after finding just the one) that I must have misplaced the other one he was very nice and then when he found out that he had not even handed it in,  he told me to put an extra charge on the bill for all my time spent looking for the tape.   So all of that for nothing except I think I lost five pounds through worrying.  Did find out that I do have friends here on the board and I appreciate everything you guys said to me to make me feel better.  Why do we immediately think that "we"  or "I" did something wrong and half the time it is not us at all.  But like I said it was a hectic week, 2000 to 3000 lines per day, my nephew playing in the Legion play-offs so a lot of baseball games, and just hurrying too much -- so God gave me a shot in the arm to SLOW down.

Thanks again to all that lifed up my spirits.

I volunteer for a local food back through United Methodist Open Door.  They do not provide money for rent or anything, but they will give you some food and a referral to other agencies that provide assistance. They do ask for proof of income, but if you are experiencing a short-term situation, they will help you.  They never turn anyone away hungry.  I am sure there are such things in your area as well.

I hope you find some help.  I am sure it is very scary right now.  I will keep yo in my prayers.  Good luck to you.  Hope you heal quickly.

You nailed it!  ShortHand is compatible as an Expander but the lag time makes it hit-or-miss.  I turn off my computer every day, so that's not the answer in this case.  You're also right about the dictation part of the equation - it's a separate piece of software from another company. 

Aria does pull information across (labs, diagnoses, etc.) but if the dictation is typed prior to the doctor approving this (labs usually) it doesn't show up in the document.  I was told that I would have to mark the document incomplete then check the next day to see if the info was approved, then cut and paste it into the document and mark it complete. 

I'm supposed to be an automaton of efficiency and professionalism designed to turn out a buttload of work in a timely manner that makes people look like they know what they're doing.  I don't have time to babysit a platform that doesn't meet those needs! 

You've given me a lot to think about.  Thanks for the info and taking the time to reply!
