In Reply to: question about EHR and voice recog... - marceia
was that the bill *strongly encouraged* physicians to upgrade and make paper medical records available on some type of electronic system so they could be accessed by computer. I do not necessarily believe that all doctors are going to be *forced* to use the EHR system for transcription...just so the records can be accessed on line by any physician anywhere. that is all. but that is just my understanding of it and again, I could be wrong. Sounds like she was just trying to scare you! She better be careful, maybe they will sign a bill allowing for robots to take over all nursing professions too. lol. j/k.

Oops! the are positive, not and positive.

yep, I understood what you were saying!
It's not fun to go through. I was so stressed the whole time. I often wonder if all of the transcriptionists went through the same thing at the place I worked. I could understand if it is a huge deal or something, but that was out of hand. 
Best thing I ever did for myself was move on!
I don't think you understood ...
She said that she was let go and is not under contract now and he is still calling asking questions, even though she is not working for them. I believe she should charge for his services also.
The way I understood the OP
it IS her company as in, she owns it. So, if that is the case, she absolutly has the right to demand that the company name, logo, or anything associated with it be taken down. Especially if it is plaster over a website that displays explicit sexual pictures. It is not about whether or not a person is homosexual, it is about the appearance of the company.
If the employee wants to plaster naughty pictures of herself, whatever. To each their own BUT, if it could possibly portray the company in a bad light, she should absolutely not put the company name out there on her personal website. It's bad taste.
At least you understood him.

I understood what you
Some people just want to jump to the worst conclusion. I understood exactly what you were saying. You are trying to earn less then $900. Why people are so judgmental about other people's circumstances is amazing. Talk about self-righteous.
At any time it was understood sm
that I would leave the room at the patient's request. I had to have HIPAA training just like the nurses or anyone else there. I was under oath to not disclose any info about any patient and I took that seriously. Most patients did not mind me being there and if they did then I left so they could discuss in more private. I always had to type in whatever was discussed in the room afterwards so I still knew what had went on.
Actually I never understood what was so special about them
I wouldn't care one way or another if I never heard another Beatles song again
If all IC's understood what that IC means, maybe...
there wouldn't be such a problem with the quality of pay for MT's. An independent contractor does NOT need to accept 5-6-7 cpl for their work and does not have to abide by MTSO's demands for overtime, etc. An IC tells THEM what she/he will do and how much she/he will charge the MTSO for their services. It's your business and you set the rules. I know this won't happen on a large scale now because too many people are desperate for the work and will agree to work for next to nothing. Too bad, because if all IC's set their pay scale like they should have in the beginning, the MTSO's would have to pay it in order to get their work done and would have to charge their clients enough to cover the costs.
What is not understood here is unlike some others,
I am not in the situation to where I have to work, do it now because I have just worked so long, could retire, really don't want to do that so I am satisfied with my salary- even at the 8 cent straight and 4 cents editing, bring home every 2 weeks over $1000 and that is fine with me, no bills, no young kids, no worries.
Okay. Doctors that cannot be understood. Does

I am an employee and that is the way I understood it too - nm

That's how I understood the sentence...
Units being the subject. I was QA'd today. I was marked off for spelling out HCTZ which is on the dangerous abbreviation list. I pointed that one out to my supervisor.
WE understood her just fine
You're just making yourself look really silly now.
Yes, thank you, that's how I understood your post.
No specific reference to newbies was made.
I've never understood why some people consider...
certain jobs to be more important than others. The old cliche "Any job worth doing is worth doing well" comes to mind.
I believe that a person what does for a living doesn't have any bearing on how valuable that person is or how important that person is. Some of the most wonderful people I've ever known don't have what some might feel are "important" jobs, but they are wonderful people nonetheless.
And, some people who have what some might consider higher class jobs (boy, I hate that outlook) are some pretty miserable human beings.
People are people . . . and their worth isn't tied to their job in my book. I want to be a good person, and what I do for a job doesn't have anything to do with that.
If a store manager is a good person, doing a good job, he's  to me.
I wish some people would get off their high-horse!
I started posting as a former bank manager in a thread about consumer credit counseling. It seemed relevant at the time. 
True, you understood me perfectly. (sm)
And some education in communication. Apparently, they are not looking at the whole picture and if they stepped out of the business they would be able to look at things from outside of the golden cuffs.
I never understood why NASCAR is the biggest
to watch cars go round and round and round and round for hours, days, weeks, months, years.......I get the gambling side of NASCAR but I don't get that it truly is (and IT TRULY IS!!!) the biggest spectator sport out there.
Haha...I read it once and understood exactly
what she said. She didn't get the face lift.
Understood. Sending a smile your way for a better day. nm

Believe it or not, only now I understood what you really meant in your post,
you meant that she should pose as an Indian, then she would be hired, that's funny!
I don't add it to the beginning as the noun is understood, especially if it a verbatim
account I would not change it.
I've always understood a CC to be an exact copy

I hope I understood your problem correctly:
You have on the back of your computer only 1 USB port for your footpedal, no serial port.
Your footpedal has a 9-pin plug, a male one.
What you need is an adapter that has on 1 end the USB plug to be put into the USB port on the back of the computer tower and on the other end a 9-pin plug (female) for your foot pedal.
After you connected these, you have also to set the right footswitsch option in your computer:
Click
control panel/footswitch settings/USB port.
Hope this helps.
No, you're not missing anything. I understood it to read the same thing.... nm

If patient is gravida 0 shouldn't para 0 be understood?

If it looked like a guess, I totally would have understood, but it doesn't.

how is this positive?
Is that if we're offered up sh@t, we're supposed to eat it, because it could be worse? Nice attitude.
well, I'm not positive but...sm
I don't think you can use any other Expander with DQS. An expander does what DQS does...when you type tp and DQS gives you the patient (if that's one you use)...I used Smart Type b4 (which is still my short cut for before!!) and LOVED it. It took me a long time to get production back up with DQS...but I was never as fast as you--2000 lines! wow 
You positive that's what it was? sm
If you're sure it was a panic attack, then I wouldn't go to the doctor. But if not absolutely sure, it could be something serious.
Extra stressors? How old are you (if you don't mind my asking!). Typical age is 30s. Lots of info easily found online.
As others said, the bag works for hyperventilating. Re-breathe the air from the bag.
Hope you feel better. No insurance sucks. I'm right there with you.
It was positive! sm
Congratulations! You will be in my prayers! 
Think positive (sm)
When you say about going to counseling and state "but I feel it is not going to help" is not starting off in a good direction. Go to counseling with an open heart. Tell youself that it WILL work. Tell yourself that the counselor is going to help both of you see new ways to handle life.
Not knowing your husband's mental health issue, it's hard to put a finger on that. I'm saying it sounds like he's depressed? If he's not working due to this mental health issue, that's probably a nice slap on the ego as well.
With regard to getting help, ask him to come help you do whatever. I used to do the same thing, do everything while DH sat on his behind. We went for counseling and I let it be known at that point that I wanted a partner, not another kid. I wanted a partner in all aspects of our marriage; 50/50 marital, 50/50 in parenting, 50/50 in house keeping. We then went from there and figured out how to help this out. I told the counselor I felt like I was expected to do everything. He was kind of surprised to hear me say that. After that, we all started doing our own laundry, even him!!! He does his own work clothes too.
I'm going to bet that if your husband can feel like he's contributing more, maybe he'll feel better and start taking better care of himself. I know back in the day when I was depressed and feeling the world upon my shoulders, looking nice was the last thing on my mind.
Something positive
Yesterday I went to my daughter's school to have lunch. This was the first time the school did this so it was very disorganized and the schedule was running an hour behind. There were all of these moms fretting because they had to get back to work, and some even had to leave before they were able to participate. Seeing this made me very happy to be an MT (IC) because I didn't have to worry about getting back to work right away and got to enjoy the time without the anxiety of what kind of trouble I would be in with the boss.
I know we all have complaints and things that are not fair in this profession, but that is one huge benefit that I am more than happy to take.
Try to be positive sm
You have a great educational background. I met people along the way who could not spell diarrhea correctly. You may be able to help a large dental facility such as Tufts-NE in Boston or a service a large facility contracts their work to. You could start slow, gain confidence. You will definitely not make money at first, but if you want to stay home with your child, think of the costs you will eliminate and the pleasure you will gain by just being home. Don't be discouraged. Where there is a will, there is a way. Perhaps someone will direct you to some SUM program tapes, etc. and you could slowly build up your word book dictionaries by buying used. I started out buying books from the Salvation Army as I live near a large prestigious university. People tried to discourage me as well, but I learned fast and furious as I had a good education and a good head on my shoulders. Don't give up! Good luck!
You actually get POSITIVE feedback
nm
Positive things!
Okay, I'm with ya here. I really need to start focusing on the positives in my life instead of the negatives. This is a fantastic way for me to start.
Let's see now. I'm a recently divorced (YIPPEE - put that off for ten years!!) mother of 2. Although it can be isolating working at home sometimes, I wouldn't trade it for anything!! I make twice (sometimes three times) as much as I would per hour in a hospital. I don't have to pay for day care - EVER.
Oh, and since I make so much, I was able to keep the house (my ex couldn't ever afford it). I'm proud to say I have not had to borrow ONE PENNY from anyone through my divorce, I did it all on my own!
I can always be worse, I'm trying to be positive
You could be one of those in New Orleans, then would the pay cut mean anything to you? You would be happy to be alive. Why is it that only what affects us personally matters? This is what is wrong with society. My husband took a 25% pay cut a year ago, now the company he works for is bankrupt, slated to shut down in 9 days. He has worked there for 35 years. Be thankful you have a job, or get a new one.
A positive pause...please sm
Just wanted to share a link with anyone who could use a little positivity today...it's truly worth it
http://www.greatday.com
Peace...out.
need positive thoughts
whether you have insurance or not, if you continue to experience chest pain, go to the nearest ER. I am a 42 year old who had to have a stent due to a 95% blockage. It is better to be alive than worried you will look silly.
Thank you for the positive thoughts.
I do have a little small something that might eventually need surgery, but it's not cancer. This doctor was very nice and didn't treat me like I was a hypochondriac.
I'm positive - maybe if I "google" it (sm)
Duh. I figured it out, it's positive. nm
The responses I get and usually positive.
The most common is, "Oh, I know someone who does that. She makes a lot of money!"
Positive experience here...
We filed Chapter 7 a couple of years ago (before new laws). Best thing that ever happened. Since then we have paid off our house, saved money and are driving older paid-for cars. We only pay cash. If we don't have enough, we save it. It actually turned into a blessing for us. I think credit is absolutely ruining so many people's lives. Better to do without for now and save! Then if you save, you can pay for emergencies. Good luck in whatever you decide!!
Thank you for the positive encouragement!
It is a very scary thing to do, but I am not going to quit...I need to continue on.
Think Positive....see message
Okay, so maybe you have slacked off a bit on your production in comparison to years past, no big deal. Maybe you just got comfortable with a flexible schedule and didn't make much time to work and perhaps you didn't need the money to begin with....We all make excuses! It is very easy to get sidetracked and do 'everything else' when you are at home trying to work. The great thing about this new situation for you is that it will be a FRESH Start! You can make more out of it if you start off by setting goals, meeting production, etc. Don't really need the extra money now, but want to have something to fall back on in case your situation changes? Well, then reward yourself for the extra hard work by treating yourself to "prizes"- go shopping, go to the spa, go out for ice cream, anything. Make yourself feel good about meeting your goals/production requirements. Yes, you CAN do it. You will be proud of yourself for doing it. And By the Way- Congratulations on your new Position! :)
Positive note
Melissa,
MT is a real, legitimate work-at-home job. You can't do it, usually, without either contacts, past experience or formal training. I formally trained for 7 months and got a job working from home 2 weeks after graduating. The formal training costs are reasonable...and I think anyone would agree with that after the money they've spent on their BA (of which I have one too). If you are serious about this, get formally trained at one of the good on-line schools, and you should have no trouble finding an at-home position. Working with a child or children (as I do) is not easy, but it can work if you want/need it to. You will have to have some help...maybe your spouse or an in-home babysitter sometime, but it beats working full time and leaving your kids in daycare to get pneumonia, of which I speak from experience. Good luck to you in your decision. Becky

I didn't even realize you could look at other reports...and I will definitely try just using the function keys instead of the foot pedal. I have also been typing for a long time, 20+ years, and I find it difficult to make my fingers do other things than what they have been doing for 20 years LOL...but I guess I just have to get used to it.
The thing that I really don't like about this system, and maybe you could give me some feedback on this too...I HATE the spellchecker...when I spellcheck a word, there is an option to add the word, but when I go to the next report, it's not there. There is also no way to save any normals, except for the autocorrect for words, but I don't think you can actually put in a paragraph or a sentence and have that as an autocorrection. The words that are in the spellchecker are horrible too...most medicines are either captilized or lower case, even if they are not generics. I am just so used to the Word program and really feel that it's the best to type in. I also don't like the fact that once you send the report, you cannot get back to it. I have just really been making mistakes in this new system, and am now watching every little thing I do, and that slows me down, but maybe once I work out some of the kinks, I will be able to speed back up and not have to worry so much.
I also liked the advice (not sure right now who gave it) about cutting and pasting the document into word to make sure there are no mistakes...I have been doing that, and it's working really well for me! Thanks for that
Thanks for the advice!
thanks for the "proof positive"
This just sounded too good to be true, and I really appreciate the "proof positive" it is working for transcriptionists before I invest. One potential employer without hesitation lumped wireless in with satellite. I will make a transcript of this post to reply back on my next rejection e-mail.
Thanks again for the help.
Do not look for it to be a positive experience at all.

Hey, thanks for such a positive post.
Thanks also to the others below who understand how it is out there.
