The thing with the suntan lotion is wow.  I saw some of that lotion at the suntanning salon I go to.  What I can't figure out is why put hemp in tanning bed lotions anyway?

    Drug Screen
    Well, I thought that you listed drugs you too also, but they said it didn't matter. If anything at all came up they wouldn't let me have the job. I even showed them the bottle in my purse, and they said it just didn't matter, legal drugs or otherwise. Oh well, lesson learned I guess. Thanks for response.
    With a Double Whopper on the side...hold the tomato and lettuce!

    EXText Word Client - blank screen everytime I give "ok" in the DIS screen
    I am using EXText Word Client software with Transnet. I am getting a blank screen everytime I give "ok" in the DIS screen (patient details info screen). I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software an upgraded but still errors out the same way. Are there any EXtexters who could help?

    EXText word client blank screen everytime I give ok in DIS screen
    Thanks your suggestion was very valuable. At a specified time (which the technical side say, when the net speed is very good), it is working without a problem at all (whereas this was half working and half not working before even at this time), but other times, still the same problem exists.

    Actually the blank screen comes every time I give "ok" in the DIS screen (patient details info screen).
    Screen Resolution/Font/Screen Percentage
    My eyes are tired all the time. I usually have my monitor set at 800 x 600 pixels and use Bookman at 10 font in Word at 111% in the normal layout. What might be a better viewing screen setting to use?
    Good drug book vs. internet drug sites
    I need to buy a new drug book.  At a prior job, about a year ago, one of the supervisors told me she used the internet exclusively.  What's the consensus and if you prefer the internet, which site or sites do you like.  Thanks in advance.

    You did not fail!
    Not every job is right for every person. It is actually a positive thing that you realize that the company is not a good match for you. If I were in that position, I would give a 2-week notice, as it is the professional thing to do. Good luck! Don't beat yourself up. There is something else good out there for you.
    DRUG ELUDING?DRUG ELUTING?

    Okay...sock it to me..when I was even newer than I am now, I wrote "drug alluding stent."  QA sent a correction saying "drug eluding stent."  NOW, I see on Google, "drug eluting stent."  SOoooo, which is it, or are they both correct?  Thanks ahead of time.


    Help on the drug board--osteoporosis drug?
    Sorry..........thanks in advance, I appreciate it. 
    no, I don't fail to understand....
    I said, in the beginning.  I have been an MTSO for many years.  I tell the physicians what I charge.  I have lost only 1 account out of many due to cost.  I realize the horrible effect that outsourcing has had, but there are many, many physicians who still care about the quality of their transcription and are willling to pay for it. 
    You are setting yourself up to most likely fail...

    if you try to start an MT business right out of school.  Unfortunately, people take the college courses for MT just to find out that most employers do require experience.  There are companies that do hire newbies, but one must have attended an "approved" school.  It's not too late for you though.  I see you as having 3 options:


    1. You attend an "approved" MT course/start over with schooling.


    2. You apply everywhere, check your newspaper, keep looking.


    3. You attempt to start up your own business and learn as you go, although I highly don't recommend this route. 


     


    Good luck!


    What happens if you fail your QA audit?
    Do they fire you or help you or what? I know it is different at every company. Just curious what might happen.

    I kind of fail to understand...sm
    ...why this is upsetting you so much.  She didn't call your husband and flirt with him or ask him out.  She called looking for your husband's friend, and I am assuming from your post that this woman is a friend of your husband's friend.  A lot of males have female friends and vice-versa.  I fail to see how this is your fight.  I would let it go.  It doesn't sound like it's hardly worth getting yourself upset.  Just my 0.02 cents.   
    you fail to understand basic economics

    the market will pay whatever the market will bear. You say "if all IC's set their pay scale like they should have in the beginning, the MTSO's would have to pay it in order to get their work done and would have to charge their clients enough to cover the costs." What you don't understand is that MTSO's don't set their pay scale either. The physicians decide what they are willing to pay and if you can't bid into that range, you don't get the work. When India came in to the picture, the entire pay scale dropped. Therefore, MTSO's must charge less if they want the work. Therefore IC's must accept less if THEY want the work... and so on down the food chain.


    Many people say they fail the test even though it seems easy. nm

    It's hard so that you'll fail the first time and
    Tell your employer that the money you give to AAMT/ADHI for the 'privilege' of taking their test is funding the progressive offshoring of the American MT profession. If you've been an MT for nearly 30 years, you don't need a CMT after your name. You were a professional MT long before that bunch of con artists dreamed up that scheme to make themselves rich by making MTs think they were on their side. Now we all know better. Don't fund their offshoring scam!
    If you didn't follow the current BOS style "rules" etc. that's where you might have fail

    yep! Only had mine for about two months now and just love it. sooo much more room on my desk, and alot less glare.
    I'm getting the same screen here and I need a job!! :) nm

    PS - Your screen name is the BEST.
    We need more posters like you on this board... two thumbs up! :)
    TES Screen is ...
    the screen where the patient data is entered (name, DOB, acct #, ref. physician, etc.)

    Anyone have a similar problem as posted above?
    Screen shot
    Can someone tell me how to make a screen shot of whatever is on my computer screen?  Sometimes it helps to have a screen shot when contacting the IT department for help. 
    Lagging screen
    Have already checked with them.  I have my own new computer and don't use any of theirs.
    DQS demo screen

    I find that I write down the MR# or billing number, then just search using the patients name and can get a whole slew of choices.


    You can try just the first 2 letters of the last name if not sure on spelling.


    When you have the right choice, the MR# will pull in when you pull the right name in.  HTH


    demo screen
    same here, too. and to think we don't get paid for that either!!
    Full screen
    No, it's not in full screen mode. You're right, though, I was hitting Ctl not Alt for a while. Have tried Alt V and nothing happens.

    I did find something in MS Help online, but it requires that I start the machine in Safe Mode. The PC locks up now when I get to the dos program where I would select Safe Mode.

    Thanks for all the help. So far I've tried all the suggestions and nothing has worked yet.

    I'm about ready to light a match to this machine, I tell ya!!

    screen prior
    I would say something like I would like to ask ome questions prior to sending in a resume and testing as I feel this saves time on both sides. A concern is:     _____  and also the low rates offered and the formula used to figure the payrate. Get it out of the way, don't waste time, some are down to 4 and 5 cents/line for MTs.  Less than 10 is not acceptable and even with that, it sure is not good by the time you figure the hourly rate and just what skill is expected/given and under what terms, I have seen 99.5 accuracy expected. When these bad terms are turned down by the MTs it will not turn around. 
    Cleaning your screen
    Never use windex it will mess up the screen and good. Water is okay, but not the best. I use Klear screen. You can order it on e-bay fairly cheep. It is recommended by all computer industries for both laptops and regular desktop screens. It is awesome.
    If it is typing on the screen, then it should not
    be a problem, just the same as if you use AutoCorrect or an abreviation expander.  You are NOT after all bringing in text from another word processer...you are creating text on the screen you see.
    If you look at the bar on the bottom of your screen SM

    while having your mouse pointer over the image in the email, you will notice it is a "snapshot" of an ebay page and the buttons that you would normally click on are part of the picture. Basically clicking anywhere on that image will take you to the site listed in the information bar at the bottom of your screen  It is always an aol hometown site in the scam ones I get. I just got an ebay one recently where it had similar language- basically harassing me to pay for something. I think it is written that way to startle you into clicking right away to take care of "the problem". 


    If the Chinese government can go after dissidents through Yahoo, why can we not get these scam artists that set up their scam sites through AOL?  I know, I know, that was just a rhetorical question. 


    kind of screen
    geez, i have no idea. It feels like glass. Its just a clunky old-style monitor.
    What screen colors do you use?
    What screen colors are easiest on your eyes? I read somewhere that shades of lavender/purple actually caused the least eye strain. (I'm assuming no color blindness!) I've been using black text on white background for a long time, but I'm getting old, the bifocals slip on my face, and I'm trying new colors. Just wondering what colors most MTs use to prevent eye strain.


    screen color
    Is that the color the company you work for gave you? Tech support should be able to change it for you. Mine is blue with white print. Much easier on the eyes. I had one where the preview page was yellow, gosh awful yellow!
    I have a flat screen already, but sm
    it is small.  I would like to go larger.  Thanks for posting.  This answers my questions as well.  Didn't know if bigger is always better, but sounds like it works well for others. 
    Yes! Yes! Yes! Flat screen!
    I have a 19 inch flat screen and love it! Once you get a flat screen you will never go back! Also the weight difference betwen them is huge! To can pick up that flat screen and move it around anywhere you like. Would highly recommend. PS. I have a Westinghouse 19 inch,  and I would recommend a 19 to 21 incher!
    Well, it may not be on the MR, but it is on the demo screen (at least for me) SM
    where I work.
    it is usually because they used it in a smaller screen
    Open it up, click on the large square in the upper right hand corner next to the X for closing it, so that it is enlarged.  Then close it, and it should open to the full screen the next time.  Most all software will open in the same size that it was closed in the last time.  Hope this helps. 
    Screen blank for me too.

    screen size

    Does anyone know how to change the size of your screen size so the text will larger.  I saw this a couple weeks ago on how to do it and forget to write it down.  I know it was either alt or control and some other key.


    Thanks!!



    Screen in 2 parts, need only 1
    let me state over as maybe someone knows how to get out.
    2 computers one screen
    How would I run 2 computers on one screen? TIA.
    okay, I did (screen shot) and I sent it.....
    to the person who had responded to my original question and asked her to address this. Thank you for providing the link. It will be interesting to see how they respond to this one. I am so naive; I expect everyone to play fair and be nice, and obviously they don't. Where she makes the comment about "imposters here" and she would rather have someone else qualified in India handle her record, I told her I think their focus should be on making sure everyone here IS qualified and not making sure the Indian workers are qualified. Like I said, it will be interesting to see how they respond. I will keep you posted on it if people are interested in hearing their answer.
    flat screen
    I have a 19" flat screen monitor and I love it to pieces !
    Screen colors
    Changing screen colors through the control panel will not change anything on any other computer. That's just nonsense.

    Your coworkers sound as though they changed the font color and background color ON THE DOCUMENT itself using the formatting commands. That's the only way a change would transfer with the document itself.

    Changing it with Barb's method will give you a glaring blue background with white text. You can't get aqua that way.

    You can change your colors in Windows. Start, Control Panel, Display, then choose a color scheme in Desktop. Get as close as you can with one of the ones provided, then adjust the color of the background. You can invent your own if you're not happy with any you see there.

    Software comes with built-in instructions now. Just click "help" on the toolbar.
