...of expressions such as "a little bit." I have this one hick doctor who constantly says "the patient has a "little bit" of this or a "little bit" of that. My fave is "the patient has a little bit of prostate cancer." HOW DO YOU HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF PROSTATE CANCER???? Either you have it, or you don't....Am I right??
Woo! That does feel good to get off my chest

Thanks....I think one of my problems was not using Constant speed. nm

I'm in the NE, my friends and coworkers are in the NE, and these constant complaints are just bog
There is always work as long as one isn't a "queen". The only MTs who are running out of work refuse back-up accounts, won't type outside of their "box" - i.e. specific hours like 9 am to 11 am, and won't work any daily variation without bonuses dangled in front of them. Otherwise, all of us are fine - hustling, busy, learning new accounts and basically working!! The offices all have phone #s and real live people answer the phones, etc. The drama these 2 or 3 ladies daily report on just doesn't exist. For months, one was always screaming the Indians were getting her work. She just KNEW it was the Indians - no other explanation. Well, she found that was wrong and never mentioned a word of apology or clarification. Then it was VR taking all her work, or the phantom cherry pickers. Its simply the talented MTs who are learning back-up accounts and learning them well! But to hear these women rag on, you'd think it was doom and gloom, which just ain't so!

You had our compassion but the constant whining has turned that to antipathy. nm

the "free" part is the constant exchange of dictation via internet...sm
I was just wondering what part of docshuttle is free? I went to their web site and their fee is .20/minute (under 1,000 minutes of dictation) for the use of a 1-800 number for dictating, and then there are also start-up costs for each dictator, transcriptionist, and transcription administrator. Isn't this the same as a TASP?"
what I was referring to was not DocShuttle Digital but DocShuttle Administrator, Dictator and Client, whereas you set up your own FTP site and then use the combined software to have the doc upload dictation to the site, then you/your MT's download it, complete it, post it back to the ftp site, wherein your doc downloads the completed copy. You need to buy the software and Olympus recorders and perhaps a .wavplayer if you don't have anything yet, then you rent an ftp site for $45-$75 per year. You don't pay for phone lines because everything is transferred via internet.
"Even with all the start-up fees and per minute charge, is this a better option than owning your own digital dictation system where you pay for the equipment and phone lines?" Opinions vary on this but I feel it a pretty flexible system that will allow you to grow as big as you want. Downside is if doc wants to use phone for dictation instead of handheld recorder. Depending on the account, that might be when you want to use a TASP.
You may email me if you wish. I will be happy to share my experience.
