I just pulled it off the shelf to let a friend borrow it. I figured it may just be dusty...?

that whole thing is really funny, thanks I
xx
Funny thing is
I have also always enjoyed oncology very much and at one time thought of getting only oncology accounts locally. Maybe we should trade places for a few months ! 
Funny thing, I knew I could bait you.
Call 1-900-555-5555 for more information for just $10.00 a minute. I can tell you your future as a sucker will go nowhere.
You are way too funny. Loved the shooting thing.
Only thing missing is the wheelchair and the O2. Honestly, we have 100 year olds that are perfectly capable, but PULEEEZ, this new legislation was just insane.
The "clicking" of the O2 machine will just scare the deer off anyway.
Funny how we can read the same thing and come up with a different interpretation.
I don't see the message "lie down and take it" but rather, "change is coming". The above idea that we have to change with the times is paramount but sometimes I think there are those who want to stop all change from occurring and that's just not realistic.
However, I think we do agree that there is change in the air and it's up to the individual to find the best way for them to adapt to change and still be of benefit to their employer and self.
Funny! Thanks for the chuckle! I was like, "Whoa, poor thing, started young"!!
You scared me!!!
The FUNNY thing is that in the amount of time it takes for them to post a message
x
Aren't they funny, sm? I think we've got 'em goin'!!
We truly are 2 different people folks. BEWARE...there may be MORE out there!!!
Geeez!!!
Funny you should mention Keytronic, I've been using that for years. SM
Had to toss it though, the keys were just falling apart. I had it nice and worn in! I may try some of these others that people have suggested.
Funny thing I see the same errors repeated for over a year now of training no matter how many times
you correct it. I think you had better get your facts straight HON.
How funny - I've worked in Thibodeaux, Houma, NOLA, =
and almost had a brief spot out in the backwoods town that still uses tapes for their hospital dictation.
My sink is the only thing I've sm
been able to keep clean. I just can't get back on track. I do MT out of the house 35 hours and do MT part time from home. I really have trouble with piles of papers. I was just reading Flylady's answer to that, keep no paper, so I will have to work on that.
Just wondering how many many MTs follow flylady. Thanks for answering.
By the way, flybabies are followers of flylady.net a really good system to get organized (when you apply it Ü). Sm is see message and NM is no message so you don't waste time opening an empty post.
one thing you've all missed here . . .
. . . WHOM I refer . . .
sorry, I just can't resist correcting Enlgish grammar.
might I also iterate that sentence structure may only be altered when your account is NOT verbatim.
You've done the smartest thing by
reaching out for help here. I encourage you to continue to do so. Make ample use of the word "no" to any unreasonable demands, and even if you just feel like it sometimes. Finally, please don't buy into the holiday hype and BS the retailers try to feed you. Blessings to you and your family.
That is the most bizarre thing I've ever seen.
I can't imagine doing transcription with one of those.
One more thing, I've been in MT and QA long enough to know that just
feel like you had no trouble with the terminology, doesn't mean you didn't have trouble.
I have come across many MTs who believe they know what they are doing and really don't.
I've had exactly the same thing happen, where (sm)
the doc jumped around in the report, asking you to insert things here and there, and just ASSUMING that you had the correct template and/or adequate samples in front of you, and that you could read their minds.
That's the silliest thing I've...
ever seen in my life. They've got to be kidding. Just my opinion. Anxious to hear others.
and don't take spare the rod to mean
if you don't spank your child they will be spoiled. My kids are pretty good kids and they've never been spanked, doesn't mean they haven't been disciplined in other ways.
can you spare the pay?
No experienced MT wants to work for 7.5 cents a line.
Spare me.
Instead of being so unsupportive of the learning process of new MTs, why not just "be quiet" since you obviously have no interest in actually teaching them anything.
Furthermore, I can give a hundred similar examples this kind of intellectual laziness.
Goodbye! Strength be with you. I hope you find the strength to help mold a hire-able MT soon.
It was helpful for me, Sheesh. I've done the right thing and
I sincerely hope that others will as well.
It doesn't matter whether or not we agree but the language used and the intent demonstrated. That is what I was talking about.
I fully realize that there will be people who cannot leave a good thing alone. I feel sorry for those individuals. They apparently have no peace, no satisfaction, and no friendliness in their lives. They only know how to destroy, or to attempt to.
I'm going to demonstrate what I want back from others - positivity, compassion, forgiveness, tolerance - whether or not I receive that from you or anyone else. If you do not return to me the same as I have offered, then that is between you and your own soul. :)
I appreciate your point of view; I just don't share it.
I hope everyone has a good evening tonight and a productive day tomorrow! I can't believe summer is almost over with and school starts back soon. Rather funny to me, my son has griped all summer about nothing to do (despite a part-time job, camping trips, Disneyland trip, youth events, etc.) and now that school is coming back around he feels "stressed" because there's not enough time to do all he wants to do! Hahahaha
There's one thing that I've seen stop many many people....
A heart attack or cancer. My father-in-law SWORE he could not quit not matter what, but had a coronary and that was his last cigarette. My own father quit cold turkey after 3+ packs a day when he began coughing so hard he couldn't catch his breath. I've also known people who had a cancer scare and were able to quit. If nothing else, FEAR will do it. Unfortunately, waiting for the fear might be too late for many.
Yep, sure do. They've sucked up to the Trinidad thing, just like some other
companies we know. They use a platform and it's a system where they use common MTs, and those common MTs are in Trinidad. It APPEARS as though they don't outsource offshore, but in reality, they do.
I've done the same thing, Snow Bunny - sm
I get a copy of MY MEDICAL records no matter where I go and check the transcription, and I will absolutely positively make corrections on them and return them to the doc/office/hospital in person and let them know that if I were looking for a lawsuit and money, this is where I would start, with my medical records! I then ask for a corrected medical report.
I've had this problem and the only thing that worked for me....sm
was to slow down turnaround. They called within a couple of days. Told them I had to take on extra work to meet my own bills by paying customers which slowed down their turnaround. I had my check the next day. Don't know how they managed that, but they did. Since then, there have been a couple of times that it was a week or so late, but not like they used to do. I honestly think as long as they can get away with it, they will. I wonder how long they would last if their paychecks were 2-3 weeks late. Really irks me.
We've had that CD burner thing happen too
We build our own systems instead of getting prepackaged ones so sometimes it is absolutely agonizing trying to get everything to work together. I have a CD-ROM (not burner) that I've had for probably ten years and when all else fails and I just need access to a CD, I use it. It's still chugging along.
I've always been curious about the satellite thing...
We are considering moving from the city to the sticks in the very near future, and I'm finding a lot of areas we can ONLY get satellite for high speed internet.
I have seen a few job ads that say no satellite, but why is that? I really know nothing about that service so there is probably an easy answer, I just don't know what it is.
It would be good to know if that will be a major problem before we move out there and I find myself out of a job. ;)
This is the funniest thing I've heard in all my
make 3 cpl... if you are really a physician, please stick to that, you'll make more money seeing one patient than we can edit reports in 12 hours! Furthermore, the jobs even that are classified as IC make you stick to a schedule! So, there's no coming and going between patients, okay?! 
I mean this OP is joking right?????????????
That's the craziest f@$^@#(ng thing I've ever heard
I've worked for a hospital at home and they don't all have those restrictions. If I didn't know better, I'd swear is was one of those situations where they're looking for a reason to be able to offshore- can't find anybody to do the job. No noise, music, TV? How do you work at home and eliminate those things?
My 2 cents (that's all I can spare)
If the house is $200 more monthly than you wanted to spend, that tells you that the purchase is not something you are totally comfortable with. Why don't you consider finding a home that you like equally as well that may not be quite as new that is a little less expensive. If you are deadset on this particular house- you mentioned a roommate, your brother. Do you really want your brother living with you and your three kids. What happens when he wants to bring over female company? What happens if this female is someone you don't particularly care for? How old is your brother? Is it possible he may decide to leave in a year or two to get married or just to have his own space?
As far as you remaining in your current situation because you can't leave- this is nonsense and you know it (not being harsh). I am a firm believer that everyone should be as happy as they can be in their home life. You should be able to be happy at home if you're not happy anywhere else. I guess that's why I live alone. I'd rather be lonely and bored sometimes than be miserable and unhappy. I will not tolerate anyone else's nonsense. If I were you, I'd consider purchasing a home, but I'd purchase on that is within my financial limits. You can only depend on yourself as far as finances go. Your brother could change his mind at anytime.
Also, when you do move - don't get weak and let this person later move in with you. I understand that he is the father of two of your children - but don't waste your time. I know this is cliche' but life really is too short. I wish you the best and hope that you make the decision that is right for you and your children.
I have a spare shoulder!
Husband had health problems, we had 2 businesses, and then 9/11 hit and both businesses had NO income but we had lots of overhead! Ended up having to close businesses, declare bankruptcy, sell off almost everything, but managed to keep the house and an old vehicle with 200,000+ miles. Still paying the IRS. Believe it or not, it eventually gets better, although at one time I was hoping the IRS would just put us in jail for the taxes we couldn't pay so that at least we could have regular meals!
That is THE most dangerous thing I think I've ever heard. You don't understand it?!
One thing I've learned in life is it's impossible to
stand up for themselves. Maybe only 1 in 100 will even try. Sad to say, but we've brought a lot of this onto ourselves.
I've been doing the same thing with my Smartype LOL was hoping there was a program
xx
spare the rod and spoil the child.
Its not the school's place in my opinion, but i do believe in discipline, done in love. Our creator thought it worthy of mention, so it must not be too wrong.
Does your dad have a spine? He can't spare a hour in the car to take you
I would ask him personally (bypass stepmommy)....and if you really want to see him, then take taxi from the station to their house. Don't let her control when you see your family.
This is such a controversial subject...spare us. (nm)

Cuz i've been a word geek reading 1000 wpm since age 8. This MT thing keeps
guess if I couldn't be a doctor, MT is the closest I could come without investing $100K.
Oh, my. That's the funniest thing I've read in a long time.

Yes, I keep a spare of things, footpedal, computer (have my old one and
so I have 2 computer backups, and spare footpedal. Use the spare and laptop for travel when necessary. I also recently bought a battery backup for my main computer for power outages/flickers, etc. Lot my work 1 too many times and got sick of it! Best investment I have made this year.
Amen, and I will add one more thing. If I had a penny for all the times I've heard, "just a ty
well, maybe I wouldn't be rich, but I could buy a months' worth of groceries! LOL
Take it to a blog and spare the rest of us the pity party. nm
:)
spare your weird comments....little old ladies should stay in bed....nm

Honestly that is the most intelligent thing I've heard from an MT co. in a long time. Completely
You have to be able to retain knowledge.
You have to know how to reserach effectively.
You have to be able to use deductive reasoning.
You have to have confidence in your decisions and not constantly "need assurance."
You have to be able to separate sounds in your head that are both internal and from multiple external forces.
Some of these can be taught, some are innate, some take years to develop, some either you got it or you don't.
LOL! Well, good! I've done ONE good thing today, then. NM

I've had two dell laptops and 5 Dell PCs. Here's the thing...
Make sure you get the extended warranty, again, MAKE SURE YOU GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. And, here is why.
My first laptop went out on my, though it was a couple of years old. Because I had the extended warranty, a service tech came to my house, replaced motherboard, hard drive, heat sink, and keyboard. He was able to back up everything first and restored it once all the new stuff was in place.
One of my PCs kept giving some weird blue screen error and I couldn't get to go even in safe mode. I called up Dell, told them the problem, they looked up my extended warranty and they sent someone out to repair it.
Overall, I have been happy with Dell products. The only drag is that everything Dell sells regarding accessories is proprietary and you have to order it through Dell. No generic accessories will work. My suggestion is if you decide to buy a Dell laptop, make sure you get the car power supply and you might even get a 2nd regular power supply because I have been known to leave town and forget the power supply at the house. Now, I have everything in my laptop bag for when I go out of town and can just throw my laptop in the bag and know everything is there.
Lastly, some Dell laptops require a special aircard to connect to the internet. I ended up getting a 2 cabled USB air card and I'm glad I did because 2 USB plug ins give better reception than one.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask. I'm happy to help.
I use EXText with my current job and I've used at a couple of other jobs I've had. I've ne
used DocQscribe, but I have used Meditech, Cerner, Vianeta, the Precyse platform (I can't remember the name), Dolbey, and Lanier platform I think was called Cequence (?).
Out of all the different platforms I have typed on, I have liked EXText the best. In my opinion, it's very user friendly, easy to learn, and I really like ESP which is the built in abbreviation expander. Plus it is very easy to create your own normals which I love. My fingers literally never leave the keyboard because there are macro keys for everything. You can use your mouse if you prefer or learn the function macros. I love it. I think I'm more productive on EXText than with any other platform.
You're funny. Ignorant, but funny.
I don't live in NYC and I don't work out of NYC and I make wayyyyy more than $23 an hour, SandyGIRL.
I'm an employee at the largest national and I make anywhere from $58K to $64K a year.
You don't have to believe anyone but you show your ignorance by telling those of us who make that money that we're full of it.
Hahaha
Sorry, that was not an ASR funny, just a regular ole dictation funny. LOL! nm
.
What a funny, funny reply. LOL
You are a genius! I am sorry you are ugly and fat. I feel bad for you, but what I can I do to help? Go to a plastic surgeon.
