Are we on Candid Camera ?? nm

Got a new lens for my camera. :)

I think she means the camera is $250, not
xx
No, just a bunch of schmoozing for the camera
and him letting her talk about the philanthropic things she's doing in Africa. Considering how she lives, it's the least she can do, in my opinion. Don't mean to rain on the parade, just don't have much respect for either one of them.
I haved the same camera. It's great.

digital camera and $1000 bonus...sm
I work in-house and at home for a cancer clinic. They are very generous at the holidays. We did not receive bonuses this year with our raises due to the Medicare cutbacks so when they saw they had a good year after all we all got bonuses based on length of service/performance.
Anybody have a digital camera they are absolutely in love with?
I'm looking to purchase one this weekend, preferably under $300, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. The one I have now is cheap and you can't even see what you're aiming at, so I think a disposable camera is an improvement, but was hoping to get some "expert" advice!! Thanks!
Get that camera, girl, and start freelancing from your
!!!!
When I connect to my computer via camera or memory
stick I have a menu come up that asks what I want to do, view, copy to a file, etc. Once they are in a folder you can send pictures as an attachment or copy the picture to the e-mail. If you send as attachment when you request attachment it will ask you to search for whatever it is you want to attach, if you want to include a picture in the e-mail right click on the picture and one of the options that comes up is to e-mail picture. Just follow the directions.
how 'bout this one?
I was reading through a patient's H&P and saw this:
"Patient is 73 years old, stool spry and lively."
Quite a visual, that was...
How 'bout going further than that, and
actually starting a UNION?
It could be 'USMTU' (United States MT Union', or maybe
'MTWA' (Medical Transcription Workers of America.) It'd be nice to actually put 'AMERICA' back in the name, (and Indians need not, and MAY not, apply.)
of course, I know 'bout as much as the docs do...sm
yeah, and that's why I'm here typing and they're out on their yacht somewhere, right? But I do try to diagnose, even did this when I worked for a doc in the back office. And sometimes I was actually right!
'bout time!
:
and soon new Sopranos...or how 'bout...sm
Extreme Home Makeover....that's my favorite show...
new Sopranos in March...new Deadwood soon, and new Carnivale soon and too bad they canceled SIX FEET UNDER but you can still catch the first 6 seasons in reruns.
I love that HBO....
LOL - how 'bout dysfunctional since
How 'bout Amphion?
As well it SHOULD! 'Bout TIME, too!

Call a local camera store and see if they offer this service.
Many times photographers will also provide a similar service. I personally haven't had it done, but have heard of people doing this for a memorial service or a wedding. They can take still pictures/slides and incorporate them too.
How 'bout comparing us to PA's, RNs, or even doctors? (nm)
x
how 'bout Bay??? Or a local auction house, or
take pictures to local jewlers. (Wouldn't recommend taking the original on first visits). ebay might also give you some information re: comparables.
how 'bout a lovely gift certificate...nm
I hope they get put out of business. 'Bout time the
HMOs are ruining the health industry. Many fine docs have quit 'cause they don't like pencil-pushers telling 'em what to do. And you KNOW they're behind all that 'bottom line' BS that has driving our work offshore.
Glad to see the suit being brought against them, and hope that THIS time they get taken down.
Here's what I gots to say 'bout all diss stuff...
1. How long have you worked as a medical transcriptionist? 5+ years.
2. What certification have you received? None.
3. What attracted you to pursuing a career in medical transcription? The ad in the local paper and the fact I was penniless and willing to do anything...even if it was morally/legally questionable.
4. What type of environment do you work in (i.e. from home, physician’s office, hospital, other). Home.
5. What do you think are the most important skills a medical Transcriptionist should have? A sense of humor and ability to acquire sedatives easily.
6. Did some skills come naturally to you, while others required more practice? Always been zippy on the keys and always been willing to learn or teach myself whatever I needed to, to get a job done. I could use a hand with anger management 101 though.
7. In addition to transcribing medical reports, do you engage in other forms of business writing while on the job (such as memos, proposals, or progress reports, etc.) to clients, coworkers, or supervisors? Nope.
8. What do you think is the most difficult aspect of medical transcription? Continuing to do it despite it messing with your head knowing this line of work is steadily going down the globalization crapper.
9. What do you find to be the easiest aspect of medical transcription? X about it. :-D
10. As a medical transcriptionist, do you often need to collaborate with others to ensure that all the information in your reports is correct? I don't understand this question, so I guess I don't do whatever this is.
How 'bout we all shut up and go to work, loool
How'bout docs can't decide if patient...sm
is a He or She, goes between genders throughout the course of the dictation. (Especially with ESLs, who really need to get their grammar straight, much less their enunciation). Hate to send my loved ones to this doc...can't tell if it's a "he" or "she". 
SPOT?
.
HIT it on the spot.
Thanks so much! You answered alot of my concerns.
Greatly appreciated!
Parents and children? How 'bout fishing, sports, his job, etc. nm

Curiosity piqued.....whatcha excited 'bout??? nm

'Bout gave me a HEART ATTACK, but no pay cute here.
Somehow I dont think they would cut MTs' pay 30 percent without some sort of advance notice, done in such a way that people such as me, who didn't get any email, would find out about it on MT Stars. That's why I don't believe it.
I like the spot questions
I'm not sure why you freeze up? Pretend you are transcribing. Don't you have to answer these same questions on the fly every day? I know sometimes it's something like a drug name that I've relied on my expansion software to memorize for me, but even then, I can get the other 13, 14, or 15 questions right. I'm a transcriptionist. It's what I do. Same with you. Take a deep breath and do your best. A heck of a lot more fun than taking one more , egggadds, on-line test.
I correct it on the spot...
By doing so, it may hurt productivity, but the way I look at it is that productivity ain't worth a thing if the transcript isn't accurate, and by waiting to correct it, I may forget to do so. Of course, the software I use will not let me send a transcript until it has been completely spell checked, so that helps, too!
I do! And there was always a sandy spot on it sm
that would tear through the paper, and I'd have to start over. We weren't allowed to use White-Out or corrasable (sp) paper then.
If you find a spot for just OPs
I want to be invited too! Those are my moneymakers, but unfortunately I don't get them as often as I like!
Thanks, I wasn't sure if I was in the right spot
.
and how do you spot a liar??
just wondering. I have a bridge for sale.
This post is spot on.
It has been my experience in-house in my moderately large urban area and with a service that VR will always need editors and is no threat to good MTs. It is absolutely EMR. In my area, many 4-10-doctor clinics now use EMR. They DON'T use MTs anymore. But some still dictate. I think in 5 years, it will be very hard for a newbie to find work.
Boy oh boy, have you ever hit on a sore spot with me! -(sm)
I'm up against the same thing with that da**ed BOS. Every other day, it's something. Put a dash between words. Don't put a dash between words. And then each account varies from the BOS in its own unique and utterly ridiculous ways. Frequently the BOS goes against what's correct punctuation and writing style.
This whole BOS cow-pucky is keeping a lot of people busy, and in all the wrong ways. We're so busy worrying about the absurd minutia that BOS tells us is Law, that it's harder and harder to get a decent day's worth of transcribing done.
If MT co's want to use the BOS, then they should tell their clients that that's the standard they're going to be using. But no, every account, even every DOCTOR, wants it their way. I have no problem with typing every account and every doctor their way, but then I sure don't want QA flooding my inbox with marked-up reports, telling me I've done it wrong.
I truly believe that the whole purpose of BOS (besides making couple of shady characters very, very wealthy, is to further justify paying us less and eventually driving American MT's entirely out of the field. An MT can be very experienced, accurate, and fast, but if you keep playing the shell-game with the account specifications, and changing them up every other day, no one on earth is going to be able to keep up with all that and maintain a high QA score.
And the bottom line? Since WHEN does it matter to patient care (which is SUPPOSED to be the bottom line in the medical industry) whether you spell out numbers below 10, or type them in numerals? Since when does it matter if the date is March 14 or 3/14? It DOESN'T! When the doctors check our reports to sign, or before going into surgery, etc., does anyone really think they give a rat's backside about whether we capitalized "operating room", or spelled out the number ten? All that matters is accuracy and readability! The almighty BOS doesn't matter to them one iota.
This whole BOS/QA analness of MT is driving me crazy, too, because it's all about being jerked around.
Or try Folex or Spot Shot.

You are right. I've always said I'm just in a good spot. sm
I hope I have never acted like anybody wasn't good enough. I sure didn't mean to.
I have used Bio-Spot on my dogs for years. (nt)
I was asked to take a pay cut and quit on the spot.
I needed the job, but I would not allow myself to take a pay cut. I am working again for more money than I was making.
This is only a test of the URL link spot.
Bald spot on head???
Has anyone ever had this happen or know of anyone who has had this happen? My 14-year-old son has a spot on the top of his head that is bald. It's about the size of a quarter. He has never had this and it came all of a sudden a couple of weeks ago. There is no hair growing out of this spot. ~
Should I take him in to have it checked or is this a common thing? I typed it in Google and came up with something called alopecia maybe. ~ I'll take any advice anyone wants to give me. Thanks!!!
I think our bodies are just not made to sit all day in one spot! sm
I have the same problem - I can't sleep at night and I am bored and sleepy all day. I am getting ready to ask to change my work hours so that I can go for a walk for about an hour mid-morning. I used to do that and it helped tremendously with keeping my energy up and helping me sleep at night.
That is also a very sore spot, I agree
I requested the same thing about 2 months ago, could a physician pleaseeeeeee spell a name, especially when wanting a cc sent and was told if I could not find, just to pend the note and so I do. Why they are so against asking for a spelling is just beyond me. That should be a no brainer but noooooo, don’t get a high and mighty physician upset.
bright spot in the employment picture
I just got a job working for a hospital with a 3/4 million dollar transcription budget whose HIM director wants to bring all the work back in house. He's offering IC as well as employee with bennies/time off positions. The wages are fair, and I'm making a great line count on their software (he even let me install my own word expander). This is a Michigan hospital, but he actually has MTs in other states who work for him. I had to go in house to train, then I went home. For anyone who's interested this is at Covenant Hospital in Saginaw, Michigan.
Of course, I apologize for placing my post in the wrong spot!! :)

See under Hayseed's response; I posted in the wrong spot. nm
