What drives me nuts is
EVOO. I do not like that at all.
She says EVOO then says extra virgin olive oil????
THIS DRIVES ME NUTS
why are we so concerned with sending work overseas??
This nation is so concerned with fixing problems everywhere else in the world and not focusing on our own!
Why do we constantly send work, money, military, etc etc etc overseas when we have homeless, starving, children (and adults!) here in the USA? We have students who can't go to college because they can't afford it and the federal government won't help because they are not a minority! We have people who can't get jobs for the same reason!
How about this?! Why don't we stop looking at race, background, and gender, and start looking at qualifications? Why don't we stop judging what people need based on color?
But i'm getting off track...
This country has a serious issue, and it starts with companies like AHDI. Rather than lobby for "a standard" they need to lobby for our work staying right here. When there is such an over abundance of work here that no one goes hungry and everyone has a roof over there head, then we can send it over there. I know there is such a romanticism about helping foreign areas. We see it everywhere. Celebrities adopting foreign children, missionaries wanting to go to China but not bothering to minister to people in their own back yard. Yes, we need to help, but we need to take care of our own also!
There is something wrong when a basketball player makes millions and a teacher barely can get by on his or her salary. What kind of country have we become? We place more value on entertainment then on morals and education.
When will it stop? We are going to dig ourselves in to such a hole and we are going to pull down all of our greed, immorality, conceitedness and every other vile thing we have become down on our heads!
I'm sorry I just don't understand what is so great about our country anymore. It seems we've got it pretty twisted. It won't be long before we start to reap what we sow. And I promise you, in the healthcare world, if all of our transcription goes overseas, and the documentation process becomes sub par, next thing you know the lawsuits will quadruple, which will raise the cost of healthcare, which will mean absolutely no healthcare for some, and so on and so on.
But hey, all in pursuit of the almighty dollar, right???
That totally drives me nuts....
they just keep talking right on through the yawn as if we can even remotely begin to understand what they are saying. Sheesh!
Thank you for clarifying. Drives me nuts
when people just read the first 2-3 lines and think they have the story. Although, sadly in the end would agree that he probably would not be the best motivational speaker - but I would have said that before his probs began - he just does not seem right for that kind of organization - but those are my personal feelings only. Thanks again
Absoluuuuuuutely abSOfreakinglutely drives me nuts.

Yes, "myself" drives me nuts as well as "further" for sm
"farther" and "anxiousness" instead of "anxiety." TV newscasters are really getting bad. They're adding "ous" to everything!
leave them right there, no matter how much it drives you nuts!
I did this for a week with my husband. Pretty soon his stuff was all over the house and come one Monday morning he about had a stroke trying to put together something to wear. Guess what? After that he started putting his things away like a "big boy" because mommy was not there to help him all the time. This is what my MIL should have done when he was living at home, not catering to his every need and constantly "helping him"!!!
I have a new female dictator who just drives me nuts.
She speeds through the entire physical exam in less than 10 seconds. She gets going really fast and doesn't swallow, so I can hear her spitting all over while she talks! If she can't be bothered to slow down and enunciate so that she can be understood, she deserves to have blanks in her reports. It's not auctioneer school, lady!
How true, I have one very crappy doc that drives me nuts, just got done 10 minutes of him that is-sm
riddled with blanks. I go through it once more, then the office mgr goes through it and fills in what I cannot get. We have an understanding that I do what I can then send it in luckily on him. It is an all-around non-money making account....I waste my time, she wastes her time then the owner proofs it. This doctor even has horrible residents who dictate for him. If there was not so much background noise I would do a lot better but they somehow manage to find the most horrible place to do their dictation and go to town with it........surprised I still have hair left. I told them that if we continue to do this guy (the doctor had decided to stop using the service but changed their mind recently) that I should be paid double (I get the bulk of this twit) and they should charge more to do him due to all the heck he puts us through. ------Can't wait to see what happens with that one!
I have a doc that spells out ...
the names of all his referring docs. Problem is he spells them different every time!
One doc.spells them for me
but is reading what the patient wrote on their history form. I just type what he says and then if spell check doesn't have it I just Google it. I agree it is aggravating and very time consuming.
Cheque? Who spells check like that in the US?
i
Where is the religion board? I need some new spells. nm
LOL.. I have one that spells Lyrica every time, even more than once in a dictation!
x
I have one that spells words like acute but not myringoincudostapediapexy.
I have always had my 'blues' spells, touch of dysthymia
usually around season changes as you seem to...
what used to help me through them was to remember, don't let the highs get too high or the lows too low. Know what I mean?
when I used to get like this I would tell myself okay, go with it for a couple of days but then I would snap out of it every time.
when I was single, it was a time to pamper myself, take care of myself.
of course, once menopause hit all the rules changed, and that is another long story...
extra doses vitamin D have SAVED me because where I live there tends to be a lack of sunshine the larger part of the year.
this is just from my own experience having had this my entire life...
Those magic spells on the religion board are a hoot.

She drives me insane!!!!!!!!!!!
/
It also drives me crazy when...
my kids send me e-mails with absolutely nothing capitalized and everything spelled phonetically. 
have to say really drives me crazy too
but when I used to do work for docs I knew more personally brought a smile to my face when one night the doc said "and for your listening pleasure my daughter Lilly on the piano" and she played a few bars of something (she was about 5 at the time) at the end of his dictation.
Drives me crazy
I have a new doc today and he says that he has a ton of reports to read, so to make it easier (I'm not sure for whom) he says NOT to type articles (is, are, of, etc.). It is actually HARDER for me not to type these words in than it would be to add them! It's making me nuts looking at these choppy reports. They should just be doctors and let us do our job!
what absolutely drives me insane..
commas! I would like to tell the people who type for TV station "crawls" to PLEASE put a comma after the state name when city and state names are used in a sentence. As in Tulsa, Oklahoma, blah, blah, blah. Also NO comma between month and year, PLEASE! That absolutely drives me up a wall!!! Somebody please tell them! I know, I know.... crazy is not a long drive for me. lol
Today's hard drives...(sm)
...are perfectly adequate to hold not only a couple of hundred, but many times that without impacting computer performance.
Yes, we swapped cars. DH drives my 4 cyl his 13 mi to work and I keep
x
I just said hello to "the paper boy." He is about 50, drives a nice car and seems happy.

My hubby drives a long distance truck
thank goodness! He says the trucking business in dire need of truckers. Bet we don’t see folks punching those in.
You undercut yourself, which drives prices down industry-wide. sm
For a hospital, NEVER go under $0.16 per line to start. Most will want to negotiate and the lowest should be 0.14 per line.
A KVM switch will let you use 2 different hard drives on the same monitor. Saves much space
Check out KVM switch. I used my hospital computer provided to me when I first started with MQ. I used the KVM switch and that way I didn't have to invest in a monitor right off the bat. All I needed was a hard drive to dump the MQ program into. Then I could switch back and forth from one hard drive to the other. I don't know if this is what you are looking for but just thought I'd add this here as it has saved me much money and space.
Thank god for crock pots. 'cept the smell drives you crazy all day.
.
I am right there with you. It drives me crazy. A typo in a casual e-mail is one thing... sm
But work e-mails full of spelling and grammar mistakes, punctuation mistakes, capitalization errors... I see it and I can't help but think the person sending the e-mail is uneducated.
And I don't want to go into details, but my supervisor (I work for a national co.) is almost illiterate. I get long, rambling e-mails that have phrases and words that make no sense! I have no idea what this person means sometimes. It's so bad, I'm starting to think maybe he/she is dyslexic, which is sad, but I wonder how you get a job as an MT supervisor when you can't communicate effectively? (Over the phone is no better!) My gosh.
This may seem nuts, but....
My kids just left for school, one is a senior in high school and one is starting full-day first grade. My husband left for work and I am so sad and loney and its only 8:29 a.m. This is the first time I have been alone for more than an hour or 2 in years. I guess I should work unfettered, which will be weird. Even the dog is wondering where everyone is??? 
That is who said it. They are definitely nuts!LOL!
nm
Also not nuts about it sm
slow, not user friendly.
Going nuts
 I just saw my original post. I am not going crazy just tired with learning all this stuff regarding digital and trying to land this account. Please forgive me!!
ASR is NUTS - LOL!
The patient recently returned back to her vulvar area, where she and her husband live with their 3 children and 2 dogs.
Must be kinda crowded in there....
OH COME ON NOW THIS IS GETTING NUTS!!!
Am I nuts
for hoping to get 1400 lines per day?
I don't think they are nuts, per se, but rather (sm)
so high all the time, dont know any difference.
btw: the inventor of LSD expired yesterday at age 102. he musta been doing something right. lmao
I know. It is nuts. It's even
more nuts to read MTs on here defending poor little Indian MTs trying to steal our jobs. Maybe they'll see things differently when they get pink-slipped.
She is NOT nuts, she has a business to run.

Are nuts okay on induction???????nm
nm
They're nuts!!... you were right...sm
only way it would be "aggressively" is if he said, "pursue treatment more aggressively."
What? Are you nuts? I never tried to make
Perhaps I am a little more observant than most, but I thought that I was friendly enough.
Seems as though someone else is feeling hostile today though. Get up on the wrong side of the bed, perhaps? LOL :)
I think if it is THAT important to you, then you should read the thread again and you may be able to see who tried to make someone feel *badly* here.
I do hope you feel better soon.
P.S. I am unable to use the bad S word that you used in your post. MTStars says it is a bad word and prompts me to edit my post.
nuts? Are you suggesting we need have
x
Thank you, I was going nuts, that helps.
nm
I agree completely. He is nuts.
But what did I miss with Johnny Depp???
How about nuts? Almonds are healthy. (nm)

I know this is MDI-MD. Couldn't take the e-mails - she is NUTS! nm

Thought I'd heard/done it all. This is nuts!! sm
Doc comes on and I thought he had a poor connection or something because his voice is shaking... he says, "Sorry, I'm jogging and I'm a little out of breath..."
JOGGING WHILE DICTATING!!!???
Needless to say, I'm not enjoying this dictation.
Long report too... he's a cardiologist... lol... maybe explains the jogging...
Okay, just had to vent. Back to work.
I tried that out once...WAY too many emails...DROVE ME NUTS!!!

I think it's nuts that it's still in beta test but we still would have to PAY to take it. sm
If I'm helping YOU develop your product, I should not be paying! When game developers need people to beta test their games....the game company PAYS THE TESTER! AAMT is absolutely out of their minds.
