Unbelievable talent that man had and he could make a guitar sing!

I don't have to download but three dictations, one after another, usually 1-3 minutes in length, and have had no problems with my dial-up on the platform I work on. It may take a minute for three files to download, but then when I upload the first file upon completion my next dictation is already there waiting for me to begin typing right away. While I am typing, then another dictation downloads.

I connect most consistently with 50.6 Kbps and it has worked well so far. However, I have never experienced/worked with high speed connection so I don't know what I am missing. :D

I actually prefer working on a platform as to downloading from an FTP site or via E-mail as it is actually more time consuming for me when I have done that in the past. :)

I certainly will be giving the ExpressCard a try as I will be given two weeks to decide to keep it or return it. I will also keep my ISP for awhile too just to see how this all works. :) My major concern is whether I get a good signal out here in the boonies. :D If Verizon doesn't work for me, then I will try Sprint when they start getting the ExpressCards in but Verizon will receive them first is my understanding.

Thanks so very much for your feedback. I sincerely appreciate it.

and I can tell you that even though the doctors may sound cold when dictating, most of them are not that way in the office.  As for feeling sad for the patients, I cried at least once a week when I worked in that office (and I only worked 2 days a week).  I got very attached to these patients as many of them were coming every week for their treatments.  But in the end, I felt privileged to have worked there.  I made it my job to get to know these patients personally, to let them know that someone does care.  Many of them left our office smiling and that made me feel good inside.

My OB once asked me if it was depressing, and I told him that while losing a patient in our office was always sad, but the patients were no longer in pain, and that I would rather deal with that loss than trying to explain to a new mother the loss of a baby any day.  He agreed, said he never thought of it that way. 

I'm currently working on a children's hospital and it's very saddening some days.  The pediatric oncology is the worst, though.  You just never expect something like that to happen to your family.  You just kind of wake up one day and cancer has reared its ugly head.

Just curious.  Our Portland office closed recently. 

I had nothing but STAT reports for 5 hours straight this a.m. and then reports went back to last Friday's dictation.  I wish there were some way I could send some out to you.

Weird thing is that in the last couple of weeks I have logged on to find no work, but within an hour, I have plenty of work.  Uh oh.  Is it my turn?

Now the office staff who handles the dictation are griping because they don't like Cbay.  They say it is hard to get the work back and it always needs edited.  The docs are behind on editing because they get caught up doing other things.  I had the staff say they wish the doctors would not have drifted..  makes my head well, but you get what you pay for...  

and asked specifically that I be e-mailed the completed document.  I will keep that for my proof as many suggested, but I'm 100% sure that I would have at least verified it with the office because it is a dangerous sound alike medication.  There really is no way this QA person would ever change her mind.  She is one who really thinks she knows it all.  I figured I'd be asking to be fired if I said anything more.  I constantly am biting my tongue and keeping quiet, but have kept copies of all communications regarding any issues that have come up.  Ultimately, it will be her fault and responsibility if a lawsuit ever happens or a patient is injured because of the wrong med.  It is just sad that she can't consider another point of view or at least ask verification. 

Anyway, water under the bridge for now.  The documentation I have should be fine.

is so that I CAN take the time to stop and feed my child, or put a band-aid on a scraped knee, or read a quick story...  My children are a priority to me and the distraction they cause is acceptable for me.  That doesn't make my work ethic any less than yours IMO, I work more hours probably.  I work some nights after the rest of my family is sleeping.  My work ethic is such that I get my work done and still give time to my children when they need it.

Years ago when I worked for a smaller company a bunch of us made a big  box of goodies and mailed it to the office.  They were such great people, helpful and cheerful. The company always sent us something and we didn't want to just send to the owner of the company so we felt a card in a box of goodies everyone could share.  Smaller places have more of a personal feel .

Now I work for a larger company and home made goodies may not be such a good idea. (The shipping alone would be a killer.)  I guess a card addressed to "everyone" will have to do it.  Thought about having X-mas cards made up with  my family picture on it and sending that to kind of help them also put a face to the name.  Too much?  Think I would be better off with just a standard card? 

Those of you that are doing anything for the office you work out of, what are you doing?  Would love to "borrow" a really good idea.

TIA

Hello everyone.  I wanted to sign in and thank everyone for all the info that has been posted on this board.  It was a very important web site for me during my short transcription career.

After being laid off from a company in Michigan 3 weeks ago, I have searched for and found an office manager position in a non-MT environment.  I'm going back to my routes in Admin.  I tried to make a career change a few years ago.  Maybe it was not the financial environment to make such a change or maybe it is just not for me.  What ever the case is, I'm leaving.  I have invested a large amount of time and money into this dream but sometimes you have to know when to "fold 'em."  Lucky for me hubby is on board and not making me feel bad about our investment or how this dream of mine drained our finances. 

So, again, thanks for all the help and good luck to everyone.
