Who monitors this site?

Posted By: Confused on 2005-08-03
In Reply to: it's not about "quality of trailers" it's about quality of people drawn to trailers. - live with it

I am sorry, I was under the impression this was a site meant to be helpful to MTs by providing information and resources.  That was what I was searching for anyway when I happened upon this site this morning.  Maybe I just happened to pick the wrong day for a first visit or maybe a lot of people are just having a bad day because with the exception of a few posts I have read (I am sure there are a lot of nice people that visit this site, but apparently not very many today) the majority I have seen displayed here are filled with hateful criticism and vicious remarks towards others.  How sad that people can be so cruel to one another and how one sidedness can still show its ugliness in this modern day and age so that people look down their nose at a way of life because it is different.  We may not all agree on what to eat, wear or live in but a difference of opinion should never turn vicious and hurtful towards someone because their choice may be different from your own. Without variety the world be boring and cruel remarks only come from ignorance which leaves me to say this.  I may prefer to live in a house but I would rather live next door to someone in trailer who knows how to respect others than next door to someone in an expensive house that lets ignorance dictate how they treat others.

2 monitors
I have the 2 monitor set up (also Dell) and LOVE IT. Just like you said, use one for work and the other for references. That way, don't have to get out of the typing screen I'm in. I have 2 desks though and one is a quite large computer desk. But it doesn't take up that much space.
Two monitors
I was just using two monitors and I didn't have to switch back and forth.  I just turned on each monitor at its respective switch.  My son is a graphic designer and uses two monitors and he said that some CPU's have a port for more than one monitor, it depends on your mother board.  Sounds like a tech question to me.  I would ask the guys at the geek squad when you go to Best Buy.

If your computer has extra ports to put additional "cards" in, then you can get a dual monitor monitor card and plug both monitors in that way.  You don't need a switch of any sort.


 


HP and Dell monitors
I have an HP f1903 LCD that I love so much that I bought DH the new model for Christmas, the HP f1905. It is not nearly as nice. I also have a new Dell 19 inch LCD that is a little better than the HP f1905 for text but not nearly as (no way close!) good as the HP F1903. So, I'd say go to the stores and look at the text quality of any LCD monitor -- they can be drastically different from model to model.

I love my Microsoft Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0. It uses double or triple A batteries but I don't change it that often. I also have a Logitech wireless mouse that is very nice, doesn't need batteries (which can be a drawback if you forget to recharge the unit) but tends to freeze on my system.
Monitors and Mouse
I have two flat panel monitors side by side - connected to each other - one is a 21", the other a 19".. its like having one hugh gigantic TV screen - you can drag from one monitor to the other, you can have your email up and running on one, your work on one, etc......watching the work upload as you continue along your merry way. They are both from Dell, one is a Dell Brand, the other one is a Planar. I think its worth the investment, NO MORE GLARE and so easy on your eyes versus the big ole clunkers. and a 15" flat panel is exactly the same viewing as one of those big old 17-19" cluunkers that take up so much space.

Regarding wireless mouse/keyboard, i type non-stop almost 12 hours a day and I rarely have to replace the batteries - I use the Microsoft ergonomic wireless keyboard/mouse.
computer monitors
Any opinions on what the best type of monitor is for this work?  I have a 17 inch flat panel--thinking about "upgrading"--is bigger necessarily better?  What is the "easiest" on the eyes--or what can you add to the monitor to make it easier on the eyes?? thanks for any tips!
Vert/horiz monitors

I'm shopping around for a new  flat panel monitor screen, 17" to 20".  Anyone experienced with horizontal/vertical screens?  Appreciate some feed back  if this is worthwhile in our field.


What monitors do you guys prefer?

Hi all!!  I am new here and am getting the feel of things.  I was wanting an opinion.  I am looking into buying me a new monitor and looking at LCDs.  Which is better on the eyes or which do you prefer and why?  I have been told 17" is better because 19" stretches things to make them fit.  Any advise would be appreciated. 


Thanks,


Cindy


Can you hook up two monitors to your computer? sm
That way, you can have the labs screen up all the time on the right screen while you are transcribing on the left screen. Then when you need to copy lab values, they are right there for you to read and type or copy and paste.
Is it possible to use 2 separate monitors with just one computer?
I'd have two monitors but only one computer.  I guess there would have to be somewhere to plug it in...and I only see one place to plug in a monitor but was hoping someone knew of some kind of adapter or a way to get around this?  Thanks!!

? switching monitors to flat panel sm
I have ordered a flat screen monitor from Dell and will be switching from a 14 inch dinosaur to a 17 inch flat screen on an Acer tower. I just wonder if I am going to have problems or does it "adjust itself" without problems. Need more desk space. TIA

Oops. What software do I install. Sorry to seem so stupid. I have the old style monitors and I just
plug them in.
Some people like to keep a Time Clock thing showing on their monitors, too. But

Several companies still train on site. In fact, we are piloting an on-site training sm
program, where everyone would come in to the Keystrokes office to train for 1 or 2 weeks. We have a large training room and feel that this may be a way to cover all aspects of an account, be right there to answer questions as they come up and have one-on-one contact.

It will be optional at this point and may not be more effective as remote training, but some people have expressed that they miss the training that you get when you start at a hospital.

We are trying to bridge that gap between working in-house somewhere and working at home.

It may seem out-dated in many ways, but sometimes going back to basics is a good step to take!
I have noticed sometimes I will try to get into a web site and that site will freeze up and I dont

know if I have too many screens opened up and minimized or what. I tried to open a website sent by email and froze up the email screen. Not sure what I am doing.


I subscribe to another web site and within the boards on this site they have

Would anybody be interested if adminstrators would allow us to have this type of board or even put it on the main board.  Like on this other board they tell you to go to a certain web site for a coupon for 20% off Barnes and Noble or when Target has reduced prices on seasonal things.  Anybody got ideas or bargains they would like to share to save money?   We could call it the MT Stars penny-pinchers board.


need web site
Does anyone have a link for a good website for surgical references, op note references.
other site
unfortunately I'm pretty new here and don't know the other big web site, but would like to know what it is so I, too can see what other MQers are saying about this weekend....
other site
MT Chat
Job site

Does anyone know the site that is from A-Z with MT jobs posted? I certainly do appreciate your help.


what site is it?
buddies at work and it won't copy...
Go on their web site and see what
they really are.  (They also provide MTStars.)  They are a service for private contractors and service owners so as not to have to buy lots of and lots of electronic equipment but can use their servers, etc.  They are not a transcription service, it sounds like to me.  If  you read what they say, the provide a number for your doctors to call and then you can transcribe it or download it for 10 cents a minue (1 cent a line) and not have to buy a system yourself.  At least that is what it looks like to me.
I don't think there is a web site to
check it out - software is developed by in-house tech support. It is not perfect (nothing in this life is) but is a good tool to use in this job and I'm very happy with it. DRC has been a good place for me for the last 2 years or so.
There should be a web site
listing all these crap companies who won't pay. If I bounced a check at my local mom & pop pizza joint, you can bet it would be pinned to the wall for all to see.

However, back to the OP: The thing I would worry about would be the OP getting stiffed for the money AND getting a 1099 that included that sum. That would be a real kick in the pants.
Oh I will look at that site and see sm
if it has the wheelwriter or selectric on there. If so, I will definitely buy it!
on WM's site .. sm
Maybe you just didn't notice it. If you make a quick trip to the website and look at most any item, you should see it. Sometimes says similar items, similar artists, etc.

The story was on MSNBC so I think it is true. I'm surprised so many would jump and call someone else a liar without checking facts first. Washington Post released WM's apology at 8:24 this morning so I'm sure it was in other news segments as well.

FWIW, I agree with the OP that it was probably someone with extra time on their hands up to no good.
Here's one site that has (sm)
some different cuts.  Lots of tips on selecting a cut too!
PA site
Try the AAPA website--there's a FAQ portion that tells all about PAs and what they do.

What does FTP site mean?
Thanks!
Does the site have...
XXXXXX If so, I've been banned, too! If so, totally a case of "The Ego Has Landed."
FTP site
Is is difficult to learn how to operate a FTP site and how would one go about it?  It is all new to me and I'm a bit apprehensive. 
Yes, you can, go to the IRS site and they have - sm
and electronic payment system. You can have money paid to them every week, month, etc. I set up an account and was going to do about $50 a week, but alas I have not made any payments as yet. I usually don't owe though as my DH takes enough out of his taxes to cover mine. I will only start making payments if I go over a certain monthly income, since then I will probably owe and I don't want that.

This is where I got the bracelets.  http://www.magneticjewelry.name/


Didn't save the ring site so got to find that one again.  Don't know about what's in the bracelets, but the rings have worn some and look like them might be copper.  They were gold and silver when new, but underside has worn to look like copper.  Rings were $13.00 each.  Bracelets were probable about that 15-20.  Really don't remember.   I didn't get the cheapest or the most expensive.      


Here's a site that might help..
It has a lot of info on WP12, and some info on default settings. Maybe go to tools - settings - dialog box and see if you change it there.

Where's the site?
I clicked on the link and there was no article there - I would like to read it - I don't doubt for a minute that it is being done, but I just wanted to read the article for myself.
Web site BOS

I found this web site a few years ago.   I've seen little variation from the BOS and what they say here.  This print out is very concise with the things you would be looking for the most.


Hope this helps.

Web site
Can somebody point me in the direction of a good web site for cardiology - I have recently started doing PTCA and cardiac caths and have no clue as to the majority of the catheters, guides, etc.  Any help will be truly appreciated.
I use an FTP site...sm
For downloading voice files and uploading my completed work. I use FTP Voyager. It is 49.95 initially and costs me 24.95 yearly to renew. I am not a pc whiz and this program is very easy for me to use. I gave you the address below if you want to check it out and see if this is what you are looking for. It is www.FTPvoyager.com I hope this helps. Good luck.
Med site
Thanks! 
Right web site?
I just checked and the website is up...are you sure you were at the right site?

http://www.nch.com.au/scribe/
I have my own ftp site.

Costs about $12 a month but worth its weight!  There are lots out there.  I use Aplusnet.  Good luck!


If you use an FTP site...sm

there would be no need to encrypt the documents.  You need a login and password to even get access to them.  Of course, if you decide to send them via email, then by all means, it's smart to encrypt them!  IMO. 


And More Site.....

Some links are broken, but I believe the majority of them are working.   


Not through this site.
I've deleted your claims of receiving emails from us too. If you choose not to be here that's fine, but please don't come around to insult our posters or this site.
