That is "web site" in post above. Also, Auto Copy add-on for Firefox will automatically copy
Auto Copy add-on for Firefox AUTOMATICALLY copies what you select (highlight) on a web site to the clipboard.
Then you can paste it in a document.
It just saves the step of right clicking and then clicking on "copy" to put something on the clipboard. Just select it, and it is on the clipboard.
It only works only on web sites-- only copies stuff you select on web sites, i.e. not in other documents.
Print a copy of the form on your printer, fill it out, copy and send it to your computer via fax may
Just a guess. Or print it, fill it out and fax it to her.
How do you copy your SH file to text - do you copy each dictionary separately? nm

Not because of pasting but if you apply to any job
if it reaches the company you sent your resume to, just like when you post a message your email is already filled in. It's cookies in your browser like above poster said.
question about pasting
Every time I copy and paste something, and right click my mouse, I am getting something that I probably pasted days ago. Can't get rid of it. Can anyone help?
Leave it be after pasting it in.
It will align itself in the e-mail. I have had companies reply to that e-mail from here, and it is all aligned..... No worries!!! Good luck in your endeavors! 
Are you still cutting and pasting normals? I can't do

One time when copying and pasting
from a previous report to get a sample of the PE, I noticed that the MT had put in spaces at the end of the sentence and throughout the whole next line instead of hitting enter twice. I never said anything, but I wondered if that MT would ever get caught for that. My company pays for spaces so I'm sure that can add up if he/she does that all the time.
Cutting and pasting from Word....
...was grounds for immediate dismissal at one place I worked. So what I did was put an icon for the clipboard on my Toolbar so it was easy to clear the clipboard after every report. That way there was no danger of accidently cutting and pasting onto the wrong report.
Single spaces when cutting and pasting.
I was told when we first went on that platform that even though it looks different when you cut and paste, when it prints out, it matches the other part of the report. I was never able to verify that by printing it myself, but that's what my manager told me.
editing/cutting/pasting charging
Would like to know what to charge a potential client that is using voice recog for their discharge summeries, but they want me to cut and paste it into the form on their system.
Any suggests on how to charge for this since I will not be listening to the actual dictation and doing it.
thanx for any help
typing in MEditech and cutting and pasting - here's how I do it
When you are in Meditech, and it says something like - I can't remember what it asks, but it says something along the lines of Y/N RTF Editor or something like that - ... type yes, and it brings you into Word. Type your report, and then click on the RED X in the corner of your page and HIT YES. This will cross the report OVER INTO Meditech. Then proceed with finalizing your report the way you do.
Hope this helps
There are good points and there are bad and ugly points. Unfortunately, the bad and ugly get
deleted. Just the other day there was info and it seems to be more positive. Like any MT job, some love it, some hate it. But, having been employed there, the bad parts are/were true. The changes sound great but not great enough to make me change my mind about working for them. I do say she pays well for the area. She is one of the rare business owners who actually started out as an MT..I think that makes a big difference in pay.
Probably a ridiculous question about pasting resume...please see message.
When applying for a job, you know the small box that you are given to copy and paste your resume into? I noticed when I do this that ALL formatting is lost. Does the document retain its format after it is sent or do any of you sit there for an hour and "fix" it in that small box? Forgive my ignorance. I know this is probably a ridiculous question, but I need a job and don't want to send my resume all chopped up.
Thank you!
As long as you are cutting and pasting inside DQS, its okay. Just don't try to paste from a Word

I wish that it had not ended the way
but it is a great movie!
I do not copy to text. I copy the spf sm
file to a disk and save the whole thing there, update it occasionally.
Thank you both! I ended up doing something magical with my

I ended up getting another keyboard SM

Thanks to you all - I ended up declining this offer after all. nm

Quit 10 years ago because I ended up in the
hospital with an asthma attack. If you have asthma, you will not smoke. The way I did it was very short term use of the patch and 13 months of a low dose of Paxil. It kept me from having panic attacks from not having a cigarette. You probably know that there is more nicotine in all brands now than there was ten years ago.
I understand. Been in same boat. I ended up
trying to do the 2 jobs for a few years - IC and employee, and absolutely burned myself out. I sold out and stuck with the employee position. I don't regret it in the big picture, but I sure do miss my freedom. That hurts so much that I am basically dead emotionally regarding my JOB. Its now a job. But I just was not finding the security at IC positions and was afraid. I'm getting older and can't mess around with companies going under and the like. Once I did finally give up the second job as IC, though, it did take away lots of pressure, and I realized how hard I had been working doing the 2 jobs. So, I am an employee and probably safe, but I feel sad. Its a corny comparison, but I feel like one of those wild mustangs who was free, but now is saddle broke and in a corral.............Neigh.

All I can say is I wish my parents home schooled me. I ended up sm
getting into a gang from school due to constant peer pressure, failed the 8th grade, got arrested, and deep down inside my heart was always right and conscience telling me no, but when you have kids all around you who are just no good, you seem to get sucked into their ploys....My school years were just absolutely awful.
We didn't move away until it was too late. Moved to another state...I can't really tell you how I survived those high school years, but I can tell you this - it would have been much better for me and my own life had I been pulled from that situation altogether. I have 3 young boys now and I am home-schooling my 4 y.o. (pre-K). We do very little right now, but it may be a door for their future. We have social life at school and with relatives and good friends whom I CAN decide is right for them - when you are at school, we as parents, don't see all that is going on and kids nowadays need that constant supervision (which I lacked) and so I think home schooling CAN BE OF HELP FOR SOME and for others (maybe if they had good self esteem and knew better) can be in public schools.
Public schools nowadays though, are really going straight down the tubes..
PS: I did not read ANY of the other home schooling posts. Just wanted to share my story.
I do have a crockpot in my Goodwill box. I've ended up with 3 of them somehow.
Thanks for the offer. My mother and maternal grandmother both died of breast CA and I always knew of all the girls in the family I was going to be the one to get it, just didn't think this early. Haven't had staging yet, but I get yearly mammograms so hopefully they've caught it early enough.
I'm already trying to decide if I'm going to dye my hair that burgundy color that seems to be popular or if I'm going to get a super short haircut. I've recently taken up knitting and I've already accumulated a major stash of yarn and I'm making a list of all the things I'm going to make and how I'm going to teach all the other people going through chemo to knit and we'll just have a jolly ole' time knitting and carrying on. I've been wanting more time to knit.
Hate to tell ya, but some of us Flower Children ended up as
It's narrow-minded to blame any one generation. We Boomers blamed our parents' generation for all the world's problems, as well. I see CEOs from all 3 generations: My parents', the Baby Boomers, AND generations X & Y. GREED comes in all ages, sizes, shapes, and ethnicities.
I DO agree, however, on voting the old timers out of office. Not necessarily because they are OLD, but because too many of them are GREEDY, short-sighted, narrow-minded, and in the case of a certain President, jus' plain DUH-MB!
It sounds like the processes haven't ended yet...sm
Go to Task Manager and the Processes tab and you should see "wc32.exe" and "winword.exe" and if those are still running after you closed Extext, that means the program hasn't completely shut down yet. You can manually force it shutdown by highlighting each of those processes and hit End Task, I believe it is. Click yes when it prompts you to, then you shouldn't get that message about it not responding and the normal.dot message.
A lot of people who grew up without privilege ended up skanks too
Money or lack of money has nothing to do with it. It's whether the person has any value system, lines they will not cross, and standards set for themselves regardless of financial status.
Not sure, but had something similar happen to me to, I ended up changing companies...
The telephone company I had was for unlimited calls, long distance and regional calls. Everything was fine for about 3 months and got a letter where they were disconnecting my service because they said I had used it too much. I called them and stated to them that it wsa for unlimited minutes and they just said sorry, they were discontinuing my service. Luckily I was moving anyway and the new area I moved to has cable. Might check into another telephone service. Good luck.

Welcome to my world...I would type a whole page and ended up with 35 lines max. No thanks.
I had to bag it. I couldnt afford to do that. I was averaging $6 an hour. I can make more at McDonalds. So there is obviously a problem.
Thanks! Called Help Desk. My settings somehow ended up on Joystick and not pedal. Go figure!

Ditto on Voice Systems. I have a friend who worked for them and ended up being owed .... SM
way more than $1000 when the first company went bankrupt. Also I had applied but decided not to take the job, and the MTSO literally begged me to come to work for them. I'm sure glad I didn't. Maybe this present company they've started will be better, but so far, it doesn't sound like it.
Went to pig roast. Chefs had no idea how to cook pig. Ended up smelling and tasting like garbage.

No joke. I made 12 cpl as an employee at a large teaching hospital. I should mention the ended up
work to an outside service and that is why I'm not with them today, but good paying, employee status jobs are out there, though they are few and far between. You just have to be patient and be good at what you do.

Two points
According to the BOS:
1. You are supposed to substitute mL for cc.
2. When quanity and unit of measure immediately follow a heading such as estimated blood loss, use numerals.

what is a sentence ends and the next sentence starts with...
80% how do you do that?
Just a few points
Okay...here goes...
So, currently I work in-house at my local hospital. (Probably shouldn't mention this cuz it's rude, but just trying to give accurate information)..I make 16.47 an hour, plus benefits. I love my job and it is supporting me and my husband (who is in college at the time...graduating in JUNE!!!)...So, it's worth it. However, I have to deal with a LOT of crap from the other MTs in-house. Lots of bitterness, competitiveness, bi*chiness, etc. I am dealing with it because I know I am not going to do this forever. Which brings me to my next point:
Don't stay in this job for a long time!!! You won't go anywhere with it, if anything you will probably get laid off due to outsourcing. I, myself, am starting school for medical coding. I will be done with school ($2000) in June and then get started in my new career. If have been a medical Transcriptionist for 6 years and have done everything from psychiatric to internal medicine to sleep studies as an IC (and it's not worth being and IC in my opinion because of all the taxes you have to pay...big bucks) and my best job yet has been working in-house at my current job. However, like I said, MTing is not going to get you anywhere fast. If you want a job that takes you to the next level, go into coding. There are a lot more career opportunities out there and you can eventually work from home being a coder as well.
If I had to do it over I would have gone straight into coding (except for the fact that I got a lot of medical experience working as an MT). Good luck to all of you who decide to stick with MTing, but I don't think it will reward you in the future. I believe it is a dying profession and we all need to move on while the opportunity is here.
I pray for all of us to be able to support ourselves and our family! I know it's tough out there and we all are struggling to make end's meat. Just keep on keepin on and we'll all make it through some how.
Points well taken, thank you.
Your points are well taken. I was being a bit vague in what I was actually thinking - there are times on this board that things turn really nasty and hateful, and some of the MTs who are on this board appear to turn on each other, squabble about meaningless points. I really didn't want to encourage a hate-fest against anything, that's all. I think that is indeed unproductive.
BUT, you are right... we can't just be all happy we want fair pay and expect things to change or that we will be heard. We do have to have a stance and a mission and goals. After posting, I did a search here on AHDI and found that I'm hardly the only MT who feels this way, and saw some really great posts back in Sept 2008.
And, I do agree, there are times when it pays to be against smoething (and risk appearing "negative").
So, where do we go from here? Most of these threads seem to die out... and maybe this one will too. I'm hoping it won't, but I really don't have a clue where to go from.
My thought is to brainstorm and continue this dialogue - but I'm not sure MT Stars is the correct venue?
What does anyone think about an email list - that would mean using our real names and emails - to interact off of this forum. I may be way off here - if so, please, opinions welcome! I am not sure going on and on about it here is the momentum that is needed... nor am I sure talking about it on an email list is either, but it's the only idea I have. I don't have the knowledge or time to create a website forum for a group to form via that method.
Maybe this will all sputter out after we all vent again here, I dunno, but I really hope not. Someone mentioned to me today it may well be too late, that trying to organize could push VR and offshoring even faster... I don't want to believe that.
I have a ton of ideas and thoughts and have seen so many good points and posts about how AHDI has hurt U.S. MTs.
We need to band together.
So. From here I make the suggestion that anyone interested in participating in an email list (where we can send a group email by hitting reply all and sharing our thoughts and hope and ideas for a mission and how to get something organized) write to me via email.
I'm not interested in being a leader of this per se, but I am willing and motivated to try as best I can to get some sort of ball rolling.
Let's do this?! I hope the MTs who were posting about this way before I did, back in 2008, will reply too.
Tech Support, your thoughts are exactly what I am envisioning us doing on an email list. Let me know what you think of this and if you want to participate. Thank you for responding so thoughtfully.
Any other ideas, please!

I agree with you on several points
That is, if you have a reputable daycare that is organized with caring people educated in childhood development. My neice was recently changed from a nursery (2 yrs old) because she was found lying on the floor in a corner at the nursery by her mother who came to pick her up at 5:15 p.m.. She had a 103 degree fever, and no one had bothered to call my sister about it. Anyone knowing that child would know she would have to be sick to be lying around when other kids are present. The new nursery is the different in night and day. She gets a report every day from what the child eats to even how many times a day she poops. It's wonderful and the child's attitude when she gets home... a world of difference. My sister thought she had a caring daycare, until she moved. Now she knows what one is really like. To all who have to put children in daycare, KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOURS!
Also, you second point, the shyness... I was also raised at home by my mother and never put in daycare and I was "painfully" shy when I got to school. I had a hard time throughout my school years because of it. Now as an adult, I don't think there is anything holding me back, but I had to work hard to get out of the shyness. I think because I was at home, I didn't know other kids but they knew each other and I never seemed to fit in.
great points...sm
You've really given me a lot to think about this early Thursday mornin'...thanks! You're right, though. A lot of the issues you bring up, I have NEVER thought of. Wow, pretty eye opening post! It's about time something worth reading was posted...
Here's some points to ponder....sm
1. You can go ahead and cash the checks you received and it 's guaranteed money.
2. You can wait and join the class action suit if you haven't and not cash the check; however, remember that in class action lawsuits the only true winners are the lawyers. They end up getting most of the money in the end and generally the plaintiffs end up with a very small amount. It irks me to see things like class action suits that results in the attorneys receiving millions of dollars in legal fees and the plaintiffs end up with less than $100 because the legal fees ate the money available up. Look at people who sue insurance companies over automobile accidents for example. Say an attorney gets them $500,000 - well the attorney gets $250,000 for legal fees and the injured party receives $250,000 - and in situations where they receive large monies it's generally because the person is going to have permanent health problems related to the accident that future insurance companies will exclude paying for. $250,000 isn't a lot of money if you have an injury that will cause chronic problems throughout your life.
3. Remember that if you do join the suit that this will probably be tied up in court for years so don't expect a quick settlement if they do decide to settle. Agreeing to settle a case outside of court doesn't mean the defendant is guilty - sometimes it's cheaper to settle out than to continue racking up costs associated with the lawsuit.
As a note I don't work for MQ - I've just been out there in the legal world to see very commonly that what people think will happen isn't what happens in the long run. The best you'll get is checks for any amount you weren't paid properly and possibly some interest, but don't expect to get a truckload of cash because they messed up your paychecks. Instead if you wait on the lawsuit then you may end up having to share the back wages with the attorneys.
You made several of my points..
With hard work and encouragement, the helping hand from the government helped produce productive citizens. You had the advantage at least of an intact family. Think of a poor baby born to an uneduated teenager mother with no father. Without a lot of hard work and self determination, no amount of money from the govt. is going to end that vicious cycle.
what is their points review
doesn't sound like its in our favor, is it part of the new mt/me rewards plan??
I agree with some of your points. sm
I didn't post my original post to argue. I simply offered a different opinion and what I thought were some good suggestions. I didn't realize everyone here had to have the same cookie-cutter opinion or they would be broad-sided. I agree that everyone needs some alone time. Never said they didn't. I just don't think a vacation is the way to accomplish that. And I never said I take my kids with me everywhere I go, and for you to make these assumptions is pretty rude. What I said was that I don't take a VACATION without my kids -- I think it's wrong. My opinion, and I'm entitled to it. And I have a very healthy relationship with my kids. I never said they were angels -- that's your assumption (again). But I did say that my kids are treated with respect, they treat me with respect, and we enjoy each other's company. Sorry if you don't understand that. I'll try to keep my opinions to myself from now on in case they conflict with the prevailing cookie-cutter opinion.
A lot of good points, especially one (sm)
I also like to stop and do other things. Constantly popping laundry in and out of the washer/dryer, running back and forth cooking in the kitchen, etc. So I agree that by the line is probably the best.
Excellent points! (sm)
I like the idea of the letter serving double duty both as information about and an example of your transcription.
[I also like how you broke your post up into small paragraphs -- so much easier to read online where solid, dense paragraphs appear so inpenetrable.]
Cold-calling and mail solicitations rarely yield immediate results, but within 3 to 6 months inquiries should start trickling in from the managers who were impressed by the presentation and filed the letter for future need.
a couple of other points
This is not only about our jobs - this is about our medical records - the quality of what is done overseas is not the same as what is done here. Errors made in medical records should be taken seriously. Secondly, our privacy is protected we are held accountable for that in the US - do you think for one minute we could prosecute someone in India who does not follow the rules?
