I've known some old timers did the same
Wanted their reports to be lengthy "so they were getting their money's worth". Nothing was bilateral, everything was "on the right and on the left".
It was like a car mechanic describing your car "The car is red. The red car has two doors, one on the left and one on the right, both having reddish hues consistent with the general paint scheme. The red car with left and right doors has door handles, one on the right and another on the left, The left and right door handles on the left and right doors, respectively, of this red car seem to be working properly: the one on the right opens smoothly, the one on the left opens smoothly as well on this red car. This is consistent with normal door handles on this red car." Good grief!
there are reasons for part timers
I have a medical condition and cannot always do a full two weeks, due to exhaustion and pain from my blood dyscrasia. That is why I am not a full time employee. I was but had to cut back and when I did MQ canceled my insurance. I would gladly go back to a hospital and work in-house but the two hospitals out here have outsourced all transcription. When I did work in-house, I was able to work part time and the hospital offered insurance coverage to part timers. I only had to pay $70/pay period for insurance. Im astonished that most trans services will not cover part timers..I cant figure that out. If the part timer is willing to pay the extra amount, why not? I also have lost faith in American private insurance, as how can you trust private companies making decisions about whether you can get chemo, MRI's, etc? Back a few years ago, whatever the doctor said you needed, you got. Not anymore. Now American HMOs and insurance companies pay people to check over your medical history and decide whether you can get this or that done. How can you trust companies when their only concern is profit and making as much for the stockholders as possible. Give me a universal health plan throughout the country any day.
Part-timers or IC with Spheris?
I wondered if Spheris hires part-timers and how many hours they can work. Or if anyone works IC for Spheris? What is the difference between IC and part time? I would like to work between 20 to 30 hours a week, maybe a few more but couldn't guarantee 40.
Thanks.
Not at this company. The part timers seem to get the best
and choice of work, the best schedules, and the best of all worlds. Full time are treated like you are the lowest stepping stone in the pond.

Any "long-timers" with Focus Infomatic?
I am thinking about applying to FI and I was wondering if there is anybody out there who has worked for them at least a little while. I checked some of the archives about Focus but is there anyone who likes working for them?
MedQuist pays PTO and offers 401K to part-timers.
You have to work 16 hours a week minimum.
Probably bowel habits :) (nm)

Sounds like irritable bowel syndrome ...sm
if you go to webmd.com you can read up on it as well as some things to do to help alleviate symptoms.
I don't think I would like the 'small bowel of cereal' - thanks for the laugh.

A possibility would be ischemic bowel disease.
It probably would stink, mixed in a bowel! Cute blooper, though. nm

I had to have a bowel resection for a Meckels diverticulum and the surgeon charged 2500 and got 1500
and the hospital bill was 27,000. Until that surgeon gets done paying malpractice, his office costs, taxes, etc. I bet he doesnt get one third of that money plus all the visits I had while in the hospital for 9 days and fu visits. I did have insurance thank God.
Unfortunately no key function to stop it. sm
How about making one pt that changes to capital PT and one ptx that expands to prothrombin time? Another example, have chf change to capital CHF and chfx to expand out to congestive heart failure. I just started ExText myself and that's what I'm going to be doing. I saw another poster does the exact opposite with the X so not meant to confuse!
Why not use the receipt function in OE?
She would have to acknowledge the receipt of your emails (which I hope are encrypted for HIPAA compliance) and that would send a clear message that she is responsible for keeping the file on her end. I also would state that once I receive payment for work submitted to her, you delete those file (whether or not you actually do), but it will help her see she has to accept responsibility for running her business like a business.
This used to happen to me all the time and that was how I handled it. After the office caught on, I only had to resend files perhaps once every 3-4 months.
Try looking at the function keys...sm
in your laptop. If you have that CRT/LCD key, press "Fn" and then that function key (on mine, it's F8--I have a Dell). Your extension monitor should show your desktop, and your laptop monitor would go blank. Of course, I am assuming you already dealt with Control Panel/Display/Settings, and you've matched the physical arrangement of your monitors. I also have my "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor" unchecked. If you do leave it checked, your laptop desktop is going to show in your extension monitor as an "extension" of your desktop, meaning, you will be able to drag your mouse onto your secondary monitor. But, if you're like me and want to extend the life of your laptop monitor, then try to look for that function key. Good luck!
mouse vs function
Am glad to see your post. My new second job took the mouse completely away from us (I am training inhouse for 2 months) and after a whole month I STILL constantly reach for the mouse LOL. Hoping it just gets to be habit to use function keys, but sure is frustrating and jerky!! Good luck to you!
Function keys with IT
I have a doc that says the same thing over and over. I have made a template for him and I use my F11 key to jump from field to field to "fill in the blanks". How can I get this to work with IT. I have added it to my glossary using the formated option and the F11 key does not work. I have tried using the command key (I insert the F11 key before every field in the template and then save it to the glossary) and this has not worked either. Any suggestions?
Function keys
I am typing now, but wanted to send you a quick note and say that you are right about the function keys for playing, FForward, and Rewind....I have been doing that this morning, and it works well! I thought it would just be too much confusion to try and use those function keys instead of the foot pedal, but honestly, it's working great, so thanks!! I appreciate any advice that's making it easier for me to use this system, and I got some good tips!
Have a good day 
Meditech function key help
I am not sure what you mean by Meditech Magic Overlay... but I use Meditech and I have a keyboard "guide" that tells what all the function keys do if that is what you need.

Can you use a "Find" function?
xx
I tried that, but I could not function. I felt
dizzy and had a headache all the time. I'm wearing bifocal glasses right now and I have never adjusted to them either. Last doctor suggested I just get monofocal contacts and get readers at the drugstore.
Most people cannot even function with a migraine - sm
I don't think you have what most of us would call a migraine. As I said you cannot function at all with a migraine. I get them from time to time; with mine onset is seeing spots, vision effects, then within 20-30 minutes my head just starts to pound. The only cure for me is to sleep. I have old migraine medication that used to take when I felt one coming one and it would circumvent it(this is when I was getting them monthly). Now I only get them once a year or so. Never had a stiff neck, just felt like my head was going to split open and could not see very well because of the spots/halos. Now I take what I have left of my old prescription and also Advil Migraine when I feel one coming on, works great. I am not sensitive to sound when I have a migraine, just light. If you still feel crappy today go to the ER. I would not wait until Wednesday in order to save your insurance company $. I hope you feel better.
MS Word search function
Does anyone use this feature? I have just discovered it, but find that it works intermittently, i.e., finds a report for some names, not for others. Any ideas?
Thank you.... bw
Need help creating a go-to function in Word...
I would like to set up Word so that I can press tab (or some other) key and it will move to a specific point in the report such as ???, so that I can then insert text at that point. I have had many templates come to me with this function but I would like to be able to set it up for my own templates, only don't know how....after spending 30 minutes in the Help menu I'm just frustrated!!  But I bet one of you folks know how to do it! Sure would appreciate the help.
Meditech function keys?
Is there an "F" key for spell check in Meditech? I hate having to use my mouse to click the spell check button and Im just wondering if there is a short cut key.
I can't think of a function in WP51 that will go with autocorrect (sm)
unless you are talking about converting autocorrect list to PRD+ ShortHand program? Or maybe you are talking about a later version of WordPerfect...?
As far as transcribing it, could you transcribe it in Word, save as a WordPerfect file then count, then reconvert?
The only way I know is to use the Mail Merge function.
You could try converting the addresses from text to table. You may have to go through and manually fix returns, etc., but it beats retyping them.
My method uses the addresses in an Excel database and then the Word Mail Merge function to generate the layout. It's very detailed to explain here but I would suggest you check the Help Menu or the MS website for specifics on how to use the MM function and accomplish your task.
Good luck!
Mouse vs function keys?
OK, I just started with a new company and going through extensive training on-line. Been doing MT for 15 years and am very comfortable with the mouse. Trainer is trying to get me to use function keys. She says it helps greatly with speed and the mouse slows you down. I even have a "cheat strip" of all the function keys but cannot for the life of me get comfortable with using all the commands. How do you know (besides looking at the "cheat strip") when to use Alt, Ctrl or shift key in combination with the F keys? Is there any mindset you can get into that makes you remember Alt is for this type of function, Ctrl is for that type of function, shift for another? How many of you use the function keys vs the mouse and is it really that much faster with time and practice? 
I could not do the function keys at all, don’t feel I have to
and after the higher ups saw what I can do, no more talk on why you should use those function keys.

Need some help with pedal playback function!
Ack! I am using Audioworx and wanted to make my pedal back up a couple seconds everytime I lift it and press it back down. I changed the Auto Backspace amount and now it keeps going back to the beginning of the audio file. Even when I set the amount to 0, it goes back to the beginning. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
question about Word function
ok. I'm not fond of the mouse. Instead of clicking the numbering icon on the toolbar, can this be assigned a keyboard code - and how?
patient denies change in bowel habitus? shouldn't this be habit? MD says habitus. HELP!
yes, i currently use 2 USBs; one for one company and the other for another, one wouldn't function

the receipt function is only as good as the person --sm
receiving it. She is not *obligated* to send a receipt back. most people choose not to. they do not HAVE to. and I doubt her email is encrypted for HIPAA compliance.

CTL X logs you out, use shift+delete for cut function

I thought the function key settings were for the phone, not the --sm

Yes, boob is bowel obstruction, and boo is bladder outlet obstruction.

Maybe Ctrl/K has a function in the software you're using, too, and not just ShortHand? I had that

I built my own using the auto-correct function in Word. (sm)
I removed most of the words that came with auto-correct, and replaced them with my own short macros, which consist of words, phrases, & short sentences. Little or no memorizing involved, because I made them up as I went along whenever I kept getting the same things over and over again, and got tired of typing them. For longer macros I just put them in a document file that I can copy and paste. Simple. And CHEAP!
Why would my control function keys suddenly change?
Suddenly I can't use CTRL X to cut. Instead my work program suddenly thinks I want to exit the program (ExText). It somehow changed so that I'd have to use Control S, I believe. I don't want to change my function keys depending on the whim of my program. What happened?
