When I worked in-house my manager and a coworker were having a conversation and I typed a couple sentences of it without realizing.

Heard his song on the radio-it's a hit-Go Taylor
  
Taking my car in for service & heard it on the radio...
I caught the tail end of the report, but wasn't exactly sure what they were talking about so switched to an AM news station. By that time the second plane had hit and the reporter at the scene was practically hysterical, saying, "You're not listening to me. Another plane just hit the second tower!"
Then while my car was being worked on, the TV in the waiting room was on CNN or one of those channels and I watched at least the first tower fall from there and just remember thinking "I can't believe this is happening." I guess I was in shock, because I didn't cry until the memorial service at the National Cathedral was televised several days later.
Driving my kids to school. Heard it on the radio, Bob and Tom. sm
I never heard them be more serious than that day. The whole day is still bright in my mind. I remember everything that happened, where I was and what I did. I will never forget it.
I heard on the radio 23 states still have paddling in schools or physical discipline.
Does anyone's kids go to a school district where this is in place? I was shocked. I remember hearing rumors in middle school 20 years ago or so that they would paddle you, but I had no idea this was going on. I was shocked.
How hard is it to type a word in a blank space? I'm afraid

Anyone heard of The Right Type
transcription company? Where are they located?
We have a cocker spanial who is afraid of storms and afraid of the dark! He is up every night severa
Even with a night light he still gets afraid of the dark and I have to get up and pet him and tell him it is okay, et cetera. He will finally settle and go back to sleep, but will do it again throughout the night. I let him sleep in my room thinking it would help..but it didnt. He is just a big baby, so we love him and try to make him feel as safe as we can. If we have to deal with thunderstorms and the dark we are in for a long night!!
I WASN'T GUESSING. I HEARD WHAT I HEARD VERY CLEARLY.
I don't even agree with what QA said, but they are QA. Question them, and your out the door.
don't type double spaces. Type single. Then no one will be cheated.

That's what I was afraid you were going to say.

Why are you afraid?
Why are you afraid to state your business name? You have said yourself that you rather like Indian MTs when compared to US MTs, so why not come forth? Could it be because you really do need the US MTs to run your company and make your bucks?
I'm afraid...
I've been sworn to secrecy. I simply cannot divulge!
I'm afraid...
Janelle lost the final HOH competition and Yvette won, who immediately evicted Janelle, so now its just Yvette and Nurse Maggie. Yvette basically gave the game to Maggie now since most of the evicted guests do not like Yvette and won't vote for her. How dumb! 
I'm just afraid
she'll do it and LOOK OUT when it comes time for her to flash her
@@
if ya know what I mean. LOL
Her and her boyfriend might be approximately Demi and Ashton's ages, but that is the only similarity. LOL
Yes, I'm afraid so...
Tonight at midnight, according to PC World. They said it probably won't do much damage, and is a single person doing it. Weird. U might want to go to Microsoft's web page and get their just released security update for this - I did and I feel all safe and cozy! 
That's what I'm afraid of!! nm

Afraid so, saw one ad for 6 cpl...
I've been trying to get extra work for a while now but I will not work extra hours for what they are offering, especially when it is left over stuff and late hours.
I'm not afraid
I am just a very private person and I do not want other people knowing my business unless they have a NEED to know it.
If you want to shout from a soapbox, find something worth shouting about. This is getting boring.
That's what I was afraid of. Thanks...NM

That's what I was afraid of...
I saw a demo of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 Medical Edition on the Nuance website. The doctor in the demo dictates a section of a report and the software makes no mistakes whatsoever. While this part is hard to believe, he then says "select congestive heart failure", which the software does and highlights. He then says "ICD-9 that", and the software inserts the correct ICD-9 code in parentheses behind the selected text. The ICD-9 codes are pre-programmed and inserted based on recognized *text*, so as long as the right text is highlighted, the only way an error could occur is if the programmers had entered a wrong ICD-9 code, which is unlikely and would be quickly fixed with a version update. I don't know if this will eventually eliminate coding or if it will just make coders more productive, but that coding course at AHIMA is looking more and more like a waste of money. An online Bachelor degree is beginning to look like the only way out of this conundrum.
I can type with wine, can't type with coffee, though...too jittery.

That is, type the code above before and after what you want bolded in the text-to-type box. nm

radio
My treadmill is still buried, but it is also a resolution of mine. :)
Ask hubby if he will wear a headset. Unlikely, I know. I wouldn't want to. Does his radio have an antennae? or is it hooked into cable. Ours, once hooked into cable, got way less static. Best of luck!!
Sorry should have said he was on radio
here and every now and then has a television special. Great guy!
Why? No different than a radio or any other

P.S. Don't be afraid to go over the head of
your local boss, they are likely to stonewall you. You should follow protocol and START there, but do not hesitate to carry it further if not satisfied.......... the protocol for this is actually outlined on QNET.
thats silly. what are they afraid of if
I mean come on, we won't become millionaires. There should NOT be a limit on how much you make. A raise per year for cost of living, a raise or higher rate for experienced and good MTs, and also a raise for putting up with the BS.
Don't be afraid to tell her how you feel.
My brothers and sisters would get together and talk about how my mom is. I told them to tell her, but they said they did not want to hurt her feelings. Yeah, but it's ok for her to hurt ours. NOT! I finally told my mom. She was very defensive at first. She did not speak to me for about a month, but then she called and said she was sorry. If you are honest and sincere, things will work out. Your sis will never know how you and your other sis are feeling if one of you does not step up to the plate.
Don't be afraid. Use the law to your advantage. SM
Stop a minute and think about this. What other person on the planet would be allowed to do this to you? Not one. The reason he is allowed to do it is because you let him.
"Tired of working?" Hell, we're all tired of working, but we do it because we have to. You keep your chin up, girlie. Find you a rat-hole and put some money in it. Even if it's a quarter at a time. Save your change, filch from your paycheck. Get a little padding there so you will have some options.
I lived with a horribly abusive man who took advantage of me for 30 years. I'd still be living with him but he's dead. I know I'd never have left.
Don't get me wrong. I adored him, God knows why - I let those "good times" outshine the horrible times and I stayed with him till death did us part - all to the detriment of my poor children. I have a daughter who thinks it's noble to stay with an abusive man. I have a son who, I'm grateful to say, is kind to his SO, but he endured a 10-year relationship with a lying, emotionally abusive girl - all thanks to me.
Do it as soon as you can. If that guy quit his job because he's "tired of working" there's nothing he won't do. Sending a hug. I know where you're coming from.
Not for me--I would be afraid they would somehow make
nm
Thank you. I wonder if you would be so kind as to tell me how to zip? I'm afraid I'm at a lo

Everyone is so afraid to ask for a raise.
I guarantee you that the people you work for have gotten a raise in the last 4 years, so why not you? Just do it. Like you said, all they can say is no, or give some BS excuse. But just look at the enormous increase in gasoline over the past 4 years, never mind everything else. No one can continue on the same salary.
Those afraid to ask for a raise are their own
This is one of the major reasons why women are paid at least 20% less than men doing the same job. Women are intimidated to just go in and say, "Hey boss, I need a raise."
Many years ago, I was working as a cashier. Certainly not a great job, but for low level work, it didn't really pay that bad. I had been there 5 years, had received my usual raises and a merit raise. However, I still felt my level of flexibility by being able to take over in a lot of other departments at a moment's notice made me a valuable employee. I went into my supervisor, told them what I thought my value was to the company and asked for a dollar an hour raise. He gave it so quick, I probably could have gotten more.
I would be more afraid of American
because they know how to identify theft better than offshore countries I'm sure. 
I don't see why employers are so afraid to ask for ... sm
at least the minimum lines each day. I used to work at a hospital where the required minimum was I believe 40 minutes, which ain't a lot of work. Most times (and this was when we were in house) the girls would chat and chat and chat and go for lunch and chat and chat, etc., and never work. And they got by with it because they were too scared to demand that these people stick to the guidelines by which they were hired. One day I went in to work OT on a Saturday and worked 4 or 5 hours, and I don't remember what my line count was, but one person typed 12 lines. And she was supposed to be the regular Saturday morning person. Some saturdays I would go in to work and there would be NOBODY there. NOBODY typing in a hospital transcription dept. just because it was Saturday. They got by with it for years, continued to get by with it, and we lost our jobs to MQ because nobody worked and nobody made them work. Me, I worked. I worked a lot. I had (still have) goals, meet them, exceed them routinely because I happen to like paying the bills and having money left over. Like I always say, people whine on here about no work but when there's a lot of OT to be worked they are nowhere to be found.
I'm where you are afraid you'll end up
I'm in my mid 50s, and I'm not sure decent paying transcription jobs will be around until I hit retirement age. Actually, despite saving, I'm not sure I'll be able to retire period. I figure I'll have to work at something until the day I drop, and sometimes I think that if that happened tomorrow, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
I've always worked 2 and sometimes 3 jobs, and I've been self-employed. I didn't mind putting in the hours in my 20s, 30s and even 40s, but I'm getting tired now. I'd like to have a life beyond transcription. Back then, I didn't necessarily have to work all those hours but chose to. Now, I have to work them. It's too late for me to go back to school. There's no time when you work 7 days a week, 10-12 hours a day, and I can't afford to take on that kind of debt. I'd be 60 by the time I finished, and who would hire me? How much better off would I be starting all over again at the bottom?
If you have something else in mind for making a living, particularly if it requires going to school or going back to school, and you can do it time-wise and financially, then I would encourage you to do it now. You are right to worry, and you don't want to end up where I am. Best of luck to you!
I am afraid if you are working on
inhouse equipment, you are stuck with what they approve. IT would have to install anything for you, and some of these things have licensing privileges. I didn't know anybody outside HCA was using meditech. The best we could do was canned text and of course, about the time I got a bunch of abbrev's in there, we got dictaphone and instant text, but we had no leeway at all about anything. magic 20 was a function key that let you go into other functions without leaving the one modem you were typing in except for radiology and pathology.
Afraid of another depression in USA
howdy! I am afraid some of us are.!
I had the same thought you did and had to laugh. Wonder where she is. Reminds me of when our governor Ann Richards said at the democratic convention, "we can do everything the men can do, we just do it backwards and in high heels".
I'm afraid I have to agree with others who have said.... sm
...that, as MTs, we're not in a position to question the actual care chosen for a patient, no matter what our personal experience has been.
On the other hand, I *have* had concerns about a patient's care when it has involved dictators who fall asleep during their dictation then wake up and continue dictating the report -- only obviously they're talking about a different patient ... or the dictators who routinely list a med in the patient's allergy section and then also list that same med as being in their current regimen ... or those who routinely mix left/right, male/female, etc., throughout the majority of their reports.
Still, even with that kind of thing all I've been able to do is notify my QA person and tell them that I'm concerned about the quality of the medical record because of the dictator(s) and then IMO it's on their head to either give the facility a heads-up or not.
But, unless we have medical degrees and have been invited to consult, it's not our concern, as hard as that may be to hear.
Yes . . . I know, but I am afraid of losing my job if I do.

Radio Shack
I have 3 pedals hooked up and needed another serial port. Radio Shack has the adapter you plug into your USB for about 20.00. Worked like a charm. The only tricky part is finding the right port listed in the program you are using.
Listen to him on radio
I sometimes listen to him while doing my late afternoon pick-up and deliveries on the radio. I have also found out that a lot of time giving praise and appreciation to them when they do the job -- even though it is not to our satisfaction or as well as we can --gives them incentive to do more. We don't like to be cut down all the time and have to re-do and so even though it may not be up to my standards I try to let the kids know that I appreciate it -- unless of course they have done a poor job on purpose -- another subject.
Radio Shack
They sell a very inexpensive adapter for serial and/or game port to USB. Mine works fine with Dictaphone EXText, eScription EditScript, etc. I think I paid $10 for it at a local store.
You can search radio shack online and see if your local store has them in stock or can get them. many many new computers are going to exclusively USB ports, no more serial or parallel
radio shack has it all.

Might try Radio Shack. n,

I got one at Radio Shack
I told them what I wanted. It was a little plug-in and to switch from one computer to the other, I just hit ScrLk 2 times. Super easy to hook up and super cheap too!
try radio shack..
Try radio shack...for the past 4 or 5 days have been having very poor quality voice out of the blue - couldn't figure if it was my computer or phone lines or the client - but for 19.95 from R Shack I have ordered a head set that covers over background noise and also has a low/hi volume control, which I think I will really like...will let you know how it is when I get it if you are still having problems...the radio shack guy said he had 3 orders before mine...so maybe the MT world was aware they were on sale...Good Luck!
Did you try Radio Shack????
They have those adapters and they're cheap. They have all KINDS of adapters. Also replacement foams of various types.
sirrius radio help
My husband has it in his car and I would like to listen at home, called customer service and the person had a limited knowledge of English so I had trouble understanding her. (Went to their website). Do I need an antenna and special radio or what? It sounds like the price is inclusive once I get the equipment for the home radio. Thanks
afraid insurance is going to drop me...
Two years ago I became an independent and have individual insurance. During the application I put on there I had quit smoking (former smoker). I now have a procedure coming up, and during the consultation for this procedure, my doctor asked me if I smoked. Well, I do "occasionally" but I did not expect him to ask that question, so I fumbled and said "yes, but not every day." Now is this grounds for my insurance not covering me? Is it possible they can dig through the paperwork specifically to find this and nail me on it? Or can it be accepted that at the time I signed on with them, I in fact was not a smoker, but started up between then n now, so they have no grounds? I'm scared, as I cannot afford this procedure out of pocket!!! What do you guys think?
