Tech support is contacting me this morning so we'll see what they say. THANKS everyone!

med-tech company
Has anyone heard of this company? It is out of Marietta,Georgia. Any information would be appreciated! Trying to pick up some part time work.
Ask the company how to contact an ExText tech. nm

It depends entirely on the company you work for. If their tech support stinks, then
the program will not do well, but if they have good tech support, they can tweak it to work just fine.
True. I was told this by a friend who is a computer tech at a company
here in town. He was going to do it for me. No way would I try to do it myself. Luckily, I was able to buy one with XP on it from Dell.
I'll second that...wonderful company!!! nm
I'll bet it was the same small company that
nearly did me in as well. Do they come at you for compound modifiers? Yikes! I felt the same way - just could not do anything right, decades of experience. I finally got thru the constant QA barrage, and now am glad I did. But I know the feeling. I left the job down the road, part time and just too many rules so that it messed up my other jobs!! I would get its the same small company - they have very high QA standards, which is great on one hand, but...I also knew that some of it was a tad ridiculous! I would be sick while working, and that is NOT good!
Do you have a specific company you'll be working for?
They should be able to give you specs.
Your husband tech guys are not the bible. You have go give access for tech sm
support to get onto your computer. Just sit there and watch everything they do. If you still feel uncomfortable do not take the job.
Agree. You could be a Surgical Tech or Respiratory Therapy or a Med. Tech. nm

My company doesn't offer health insurance. I'll buy it at Sam's Store.
BTW, you can eat yourself up and waste a lot of time hating and smearing Walmart. People support the store and it is growing in spite of your MT Stars posts. Walmart shoppers don't care about your posts or if Walmart doesn't offer health insurance to their employees. They are looking for a bargain. Walmart has them. At least half the US workers have lost health insurance and as for my company, it costs at least $200 a month for health insurance if I want to BUY it. Get a grip.
I agree with MOMT, but be careful not to print company names or you'll

I broke my right ankle slipping on ice and was lucky to have gloves on because the palm of the glove was totally torn up and my hand was okay.
Good luck and be sure to do your exercises when it is time.
It'll happen. You'll find your fit.

I'll vent and I'll sign my name sm
I have two IC contracts right now. I recently went back to a job I had quit earlier in the year to work for the other company I am still working for.
The newer job has 80% ESLs. I transcribe OP notes primarily and I can fill in other work types as the opportunity arises. I am frustrated with this particular situation. After 6 months, I am making less money and working longer hours. I am past the learning curve and I should be doing better, at least in the number of hours I am spending doing the job. We have run out of work for 24 hrs at a time at least 5 or 6 times since December 1, and in November it was more than that. I have a friend who worked for this company as well and she was having similar difficulties. The only thing that we can figure is that they are shorting us line count some way, because after 6 months at it, it should be easier/faster/more money, but it is less and less every single pay period. It is not a nice thing to accuse a company of doing, but it SEEMS that way to us. I am fed up with being expected to type every single OP note that comes in 24/7 and meeting the 6 hr TAT for them on weekends, evenings, holidays, wee hours of the morning...
I took back a job I held for 2-1/2 yrs. The team leader has changed and this gal thinks that I should be on call 24/7 for whenever she has work. I might have some at 7 a.m., or perhaps not until 6 p.m. or later. I can't plan my personal life and between these two IC situations, I find that I am not eating on a daily basis, not showering on a daily basis and not sleeping more than 3 or 4 hours at a time. I have lost weight and I don't feel very well. I woke up today with a rip roaring head cold (my first in nearly 8 yrs) and it has already moved to bronchitis and I am expecting pneumonia by the weekend because I develop it very easily. I already have deep pain in my back.
Yes, I should call in sick tomorrow, but I really can't take the fallout. The job I took back I am covering for another gal who wanted vacation over the holidays and if I have to call in sick, the team leader will call me and pitch a fit about how this is my responsibility. It IS my responsibility, I did say I would do it, and I will do it, despite being quite ill. In the past, when I worked for this company, they would not allow me to call in sick for a "cold" without a doctor's note. I worked through many illnesses with them and only called in sick when I developed West Nile Fever and while I was sick for over a month, I only called for my last 12 reports one day when I could no longer see the computer screen because my head hurt.
The problem is that yes, many MTs lack work ethic. They don't take their responsibility seriously. This is not a work as you please career, not even for an IC. I can see the MTSO's point of view, I truly can. Like finding experienced, reliable and capable MTs, for the MTs who are these things, finding a company will treat you like a human being is equally difficult. I sit here, feeling lousy and like I am an utter slave labor with no consideration whatsoever. I know that my work needs to be done, but when I am this sick it is better that someone else do it for the sake of the work, for accuracy and for speed of getting it out. I know that I am needed, but to be the MT these companies need me to be, I also need to look after my own health.
I will also mention that when I have asked for vacation, I have been approved for the time, but the MTSO queues up my work and calls me then I am not on the system getting it done. I have told them I had been approved for time off, but the MTSO didn't schedule anyone to cover for me and I am told to get on work, vacation or no, if I want to keep my job.
Thus, I work 24/7/365 and have for years. I work sick, I work when I am in pain (I have an AI disorder), I work exhausted from staying up all night covering for others who are allowed to call in sick and have vacations when I can't have either. I work having no health insurance and not being able to afford the $125 a month to buy some with a high copay so I can see a doctor. I work without breaks for breakfast, lunch or dinner and I sometimes come close to having an accident because if I leave my desk to go to the little girls' room I get nasty calls about where I am at and what I am doing.
Many MTs are mistreated, and I am one of them.
Tell him you'll give him your macros if he'll give you his Lexus, his ski cabin, and (nm)

Control. I'll still get OT though. And you'll
still sit and complain!

Med-Tech
Hi Bobbie,
Thanks for your input. Their schedule didn't work for me anyway-they were going to hire me without even doing an interview! I hope you had better luck in whatever you chose next.
Jen
Did you like being a vet tech? I'd like
to hear more about it, if you don't mind.
oh yes, but the tech guy did all that for me.
Can't really help you much in that way, but you can get it online, I think that's what he did. It has junk mail files, suspected junk mail files, and then of course my "wanted" email file. I'm not very computer "savvy" so that's why I needed help. But it looks to me like you can just go to SpamBayes and load it. I know it has a "wizard" to load it. Good luck because this spam thing has gotten way out of hand. Should be a law against it! Maybe someone else has heard of it, maybe try the technical help board if you can't get it to work. I'm sorry that I can't help much more than that. But yes, in answer to your question, you can set up your email as you would like. Good luck, and hope this helps.
Hey, you tech MT's, help please.
I got a LinkSys router at Wal-Mart and with tech help, I got my Vista computer and other computer going at the same time; however, I unplugged the cable from the phone jack one night, as it was storming, and could not get both computers back on line after that. I actually have returned the router and doing without for now.
I would like your experiences and any help that you could give me. I have used cable router before, but not for phone line -- DSL. Thanks.
I would think the tech could do it. At my
former job they were able to switch them from Medscribe to DQS.
Must say, as former vet tech myself, that

need tech help
maybe posted this on wrong board earlier:
I have a daughter vet in another state that would like me to transcribe her work. Is there is way to do this via digital and/or a call-in dictation system without going through an MTSO? Any suggestions? I'd sure love to be able to do that for her!
Need tech help, anyone!
Help! I have my expansions in Word 2003 autoaorrect, called MSO1033.acl file. I wanted to transport this file to another computer using Word 2007. I got it over to the other computer, have installed it in the proper directory, and have renamed the Word 2003 file so it is called MSO.acl, which is what Word 2007 calls it. Yet, when I open Word 2007 on the destination computer, my expansions are not there. The file is showing in the directory, verified by my last date of change before I moved it, and is more than three times the size of a normal .acl file. Can anyone tell me what boat I'm missing here? Thanks, appreciate it.
What about an x-ray tech? Seems like there
MT becoming RAD TECH
I have heard MTs switching over to nursing, coding/billing, but has anyone else considered training for Radiology Technology. I was considering this but found out the course work is very intense for 2-3 years while working in the hospital as an intern. Can't do it now but still considering it in the future. I hear the demand is only growing in this field and can't see it being outsourced.

Any info on these companies would be appreciate-I haven't found very much yet. Thanks!

What's the tech number?

Tech support will help you set up a

Re: tech support
I don't know if it gets back to our supervisors, but I wish it would get back to theirs! What I do now is tell the "real winner" support person that I have to hang up suddenly. Then, I call right back. I suddenly get a different one who is a whiz and very helpful. It's worth the hang-up and call back unless you have to wait 45 minutes for the next "helpful tech." ;-)
Help on tech board please!
Seriously need help on the Tech Board
Cannot open hyperlinks. Popups open as blank white pages. Can't find help on Microsoft. HELP!!!
Check with tech there. sm
I don't remember if I asked or not, but I did import my shorthand files into ExText, so I didn't have to start from scratch.
Good luck! I hope you're as happy with Amphion as I am!
Cardiac tech here....
Not sure what you mean by weird heart murmur. That should have been checked at least with echocardiogram. I'm thinking mitral valve prolapse which can cause chest pain and exercise symptoms but is generally benign.
At your age and being female it is highly unlikely it is cardiac disease. They would probably do an EKG while you're having the pain and check enzymes.
Chest pain is very very common and often is not cardiac. It's cause is unclear, sometimes costochondritis, sometimes GI, sometimes just unknown.
You still need to see a physician very soon to determine if NSAIDs or other simple meds (Protonix) are the answer or more tests are needed.

A4 Tech antiRSI
I've done the MS natural and also the Kinesis but I keep coming back to this thing. It has pyramid shaped keys that seem to be a little bit closer together than a normal keyboard. It only costs around $7 at Dealsonic. I should probably pick up another one for back up.
Vet tech/transcriptionist
That's interesting...I used to be a vet tech in the '80s and got tired of not being able to explain to the animals why I was causing pain. I also like more focused work. Loved radiology so now radiology Transcriptionist for 15 years. So you and I had flip-flopped career paths...good luck on this new endeavor as a veterinary assistant.

Histology Tech Job
Does anybody know anything about this job, i.e., ins and outs, good and bad, know anyone who has done it, etc? I am trying to find a "better way" than MT but no clue as to which direction to go. I also wondered about surgical scrub tech job. Willing to do a 1-year certificate school but don't know about 2 years of school. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks.
A4 Tech keyboards
Hi, I just ordered one of these keyboards. Supposedly they will increase your production and had really great reviews. I ordered the 2680RP model which is wireless keyboard and mouse. Just wondering if anyone else has used these and what they thought. Mine is supposed to be here today. Can't wait to try it out. Any info about them would be really appreciated.
