the nerve!
How dare you make a TV show about my life without offering to pay me?

My LAST nerve

And they have the nerve to air those ads about

Obviously I am hitting a nerve somewhere
that you are taking offense to my posts. So which one is it, are you fat, ugly, have an acne problem or all of the above?
Struck a nerve, huh?
I just can't imagine any worthwhile MT being offended by what I said. The reason they wouldn't be offended is because they are the ones picking up the slack for these clowns! The losers I referred to are the main reason Indians are getting work from the US! If every American MT went to work every day and delivered top-notch documents, the Indians wouldn't be making a dime off transcription.
FYI, I don't hire Indians as I spend too much time each day fixing errors made by American MTs. Also, if you are working somewhere that you cannot respond to QA and show them where you documented what you transcribed, then I'd say you need to get out because it's a no-win situation and you are at their mercy.
Listen to the nerve of this one!
over and when I stood at the door, not letting her in, she pushed her way in anyway. I told her I was working and she said,"That's okay I will just sit in the chair beside you AND NOT TALK!" Oh, and she did...but her baby didn't, he cried and screamed until he fell asleep and she sat there and looked at me for over an hour. Let me tell you, that will never happen again. Learned my lesson then and there!
People have a lot of nerve.
I am not trying to be rude, but what kind of friend pushes her way into your house just to distract you while you work? What was the point?
Do you think you have a pinched nerve?
Pinched nerves can cause a lot of problems. You may want to call your doctor today. If you had a stroke you should be checked out ASAP. Not everyone dies with a stroke. Some people have them and don't even know it. Good luck.
Hmm, seems to have struck a nerve.

Wow, you really don't like me! I must have touched a nerve with you.
Do you work for the AAMT or are you a MTSO cheating your MTs or outsourcing to India? Or maybe you are one of those holier-than-thou QA people I've railed against? You know, the ones that never make mistakes and stroke their egos by finding mistakes in everything from medical reports to generic posts on a casual message board?
As for my dismally failing blog - um it's just a blog, my own personal soapbox. Nothing more, nothing less. Oh and thanks for reading it.
i've been through that too...ppl have nerve,
i think after 3 years of working from home i have finally taught my mom and my sister to quit calling and asking me to run here and there for them, ....took a while, didnt want to hurt their feelings...but its like...they cant do it becuz they are working...HELLO!!!!!!!!!!
eScription on last nerve
Posted over the weekend and got a response but just wondering, anyone else working on escription that the program is really, really slow, like jerky in the audio and then jerky for you to transcribe if doing straight typing? Had new ram put on and have fast access so really don’t know what else I can do, cleaned up the computer as far as defraging it. Any other ideas?
Some peeps have nerve
Well my goodness...SIMON...how interesting that name should be used for such a rude post...wonder if its a real name or does he wish he were SIMON off of that tele show...you guys know which one I am referring too, or maybe HE is is love with the other Simon...oh who knows...anyway...to point out your ignorance Simon, just because someone does not know the next steps to take in regards to opening a business or whatever the case may be and that person ask questions of others who may know, well that only educates them more. There is never a "DUMB" question. We learn by asking questions by talking and listening to others. You Simon have pointed out the true reality that there are those who assume or dont ask questions or make rude comments to cover up their own lack of intelligence. And you Simon, well you just put your ownself in that category.
One nerve left
"The decision to change the name of the organization from AAMT to AHDI was made by the members of the House of Delegates (HOD). These are volunteers elected by the membership..."
That was smart. You didn't pay anyone to do your dirty work for you, which must let you off some legal hook or other.
"The HOD felt it was important to broaden the name of the organization to include anyone working in healthcare documentation - as many transcriptionists are working in peripheral roles as editors, QA personnel, supervisory and management positions, educators, ..."
...Indian MTs, whose business now supports AHDI management in the manner to which we have become accustomed,...
"etc. Speaking for myself, I haven't transcribed a medical report for pay in at least 5 years, so calling me a medical Transcriptionist no longer encompasses my role. Nonetheless, I am passionate about the integrity of healthcare documentation - and I developed this passion as an MT. For me, AHDI is a better representation of where I fit in..."
...and we definitely needed to relieve ourselves of that pesky restriction to American MTs, which is why we unloaded that dinosaur...
javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
well it takes a lot of nerve to get sm
on this board and tell American MTs how things are and how to do things when you can't speak the language or communicate well. You are suppose to be an MT but you can't speak the language? Well I doubt that the documents you put out are very good either! Sorry but this is the reason American MTs don't have MT jobs so you need to stick to your country and your MTs and stay out of giving advice here. IMHO.......sorry I need to spell that out, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION!
you are young and dumb. The nerve of you to say
why have children if you are going to put them in daycare. When I was going to graduate school and working I became pregnant. I didn't expect my husband to quit his job and I sure enough was going to stop graduate school my six months. My triplets went to daycare and was fine.
I agree-the nerve of some people
Must be a grain of truth in there somewhere to have hit a nerve.
!
You'd like to hit a nerve, I'd like to stick to facts
My comments weren't made to bicker back and forth with someone who wants to have a personal war and claim touche' afterwards. They were made of my observations of what I saw with smooth transcription flow. I have no control of your choice to twist them. You know nothing of me, only that you did not like my observations. Call it whatever you will.
The company would have the nerve to appeal
This is ludicrous to say the least. Many MTs are single earners in their homes. I think to do such a thing should be broadcast across the nation. If this is happening, please let us know which companies are doing it.
whatever dolfan. touched a nerve apparently.
don't let the truth ruin a perfectly good Sunday. that is if you actually can absorb the truth of my posts which are probably perfectly clear if one is not so angry they can't see straight like you are at this point. go back to dreamland my friend and stay where it's all comfy and cozy and no one disputes your FINAL WORD!!!!(hopefully)
PS: We all state opinions here and not all of us are "liars" or "trolls" because they don't agree with your opinion. Meditate on that.
have any horseback riders here lost their nerve
after being hurt and got it back again? i have no problem getting on as long as all goes well, but when my horse spooks or something i feel so danged unnerved, which is totally new to me after all these years. does it just take time or should i hang it up?
I think you'll be OK but I totally lost my nerve sm
I switched to riding bicycles LOL (probably way more dangerous since I ride on the road)
yep - maybe your very nice post struck nerve?.
Your question/post was very nice and gentle I thought - and the other poster's response was totally out of whack - perhaps you struck a nerve! *LOL*
Have a GREAT WEEKEND!!! Ignore the trolls....they are all over the web, as you well know. 
Bursitis or nerve impingement. Have it checked out.

I got common plantar nerve neuroma
in my third toe. It bends towards the 2nd toe and if you try to spread the toes, it curves unnaturally and does not bend too well. I used foam spacers for it and it did straighten out somewhat and go partially back into the correct position.
I also get swelling in both ankles and legs plus tingling and numbness sometimes. I have to keep getting up and moving around a bit for that to go away.
Being out of touch is a hazard of our job, but one reason you touched a nerve SM
that you should be aware of so you won't be surprised in future is that "ESL" is also code for bigotry, with in some sad cases the fussing over the genuine problems with achieving an accurate transcription just windowdressing for the real complaint.
Personally, I find the world and its people a fascinating place and love the way the Web has brought it to me in my little rural Georgia office, including the very wide range of attitudes here.
When your neck muscles are strained, it traps the occipital nerve.
I am with you on the "I can't get rid of it, and it kills me." Do some research on peripheral stimulators. They implant them in the occipital region. They stimulate the area with electricity that overrides the pain with a pleasant paresthesia. Plain English: It is like having a G-spot in your head; it feels so good. Another theory is that it changes the ions in the cells. As posted, I am anxiously awaiting mine to be reimplanted. You control the stimulator with a device to stimulate the strength and pulse width needed to cover the pain. It is fabulous!!!!!! Beats pain pills, which I am so sick of now.
Yup, and all those happy rabbits and cats think WE'RE gonna feed them. The nerve!
And no matter what we say, they'll just keep on having baby after baby, just like animals!  The unfairness of it all! What will become of us all?
A blank is what I would put. Root (nerve root) is all that comes to mind.

I can't even spell that! LOL
:)
I am going with Ala. Not sure how to spell her name. nm

6, you would only spell it out....
...is if there are 2 numbers in a row. For instance:
The patient is to take two 10 mg tablets daily.
(NOT 2 10 mg).
Hope this helps.
I spell it that way...
and I am in the US, although I am Canadian. I know in Canada I have seen it spelled both ways.
I know how to spell most and
what I dont' know, I make it a point to learn. I've gotten more than 1 "critical" error from QA stating that I had misspelled a medical term or drug, only to prove that I was correct and QA was wrong. Not to offend any QA'ers, but if you're going to correct someone else's work, you'd better know your stuff.
The one error was even spelled incorrectly by the neurologist dictating: olivopontine cerebellar degeneration. He spelled it out as "oliGopontine", but I spelled it according to Stedman's and proved both him and QA wrong.
Boy, were their faces red! My point wasn't to embarrass anyone, it was to type the report correctly. Spelling is important. We have enough other factors to squelch our line count. If there's anything I can do on my part to bring it up, why not?
What I do is when they say spell it out I put
it in my Expander program, so I can continue typing b.i.d. I don't have to think about do I or don't I. Same with contractions - put shouldn't in my expander and if I go into auto drive mode I don't have to worry about missing it.
I have 20 years of experience. I haven't worked for many companies, but I've had several accounts. One says do this, the other one is don't differently, and then there is the verbatim, but it isn't really verbatim because we still have to clean it up a bit. It is hard to switch, plus there alwasy seem to be little things no one has mentioned and isn't in account specifics, etc. I just got off of 100% QA (4 days), but I felt like I would never get off 100% because it seemed QA found something in almost every report. It just may be a comma that was/wasn't needed, but it was something.
I also make me a sticky note and put it where I will see it easily when they make a new change. It takes me maybe 3 days and then I've got it and can toss the sticky.
how about when they spell them
x
we were on 4.6, but is this a spell
check you build yourself (for the most part) located in the same screen as your email, etc? Don't remember the field number now, 42 or 46? somewhere in there. Had to return through it and virtually scroll down to the word which can take a few minutes. hope I could help.
How do you spell
Does anyone else notice that AHDI and MTIA have the same address??
Kind of suggests to me that they've created 2 seemingly separate entities, one of which is trying to push mandatory certification and the other of which (surprise!!!) just happens to provide the test. How convenient. It's not like they weren't already making a killing on the CMT certification (especially since they've now got potential CMTs lined up around the world). Now The Word has come down from MTIA (their own creation) that certification is mandatory, so theoretically every MT in the US will have to ante up as well or be unemployable. Chicken or the egg; maybe MTIA came first & created AHDI. Either way, pretty soon they'll all be driving Bentleys if they're not already.
It's downright diabolical, & I'm wondering if it's legal.
Can't spell either.
So why should they be any better at counting?
It's not just the PAs that can't spell
I only have a handful of docs that can actually spell meds or instruments or other doctor's names correctly. And I have an RN who can't pronounce ANYTHING! And then she rambles on for 2 pages and will say, new paragraph. LOL! Waaaaay ahead of you, honey.
Is this when you spell check? If so....sm
hit the #4 and the "sound alikes" should come up on the screen you are use to seeing.
Can't spell aleved sm
The patient states his pain is not worsened by anything nor it is aleved by anything.
I checked dictionary. What am I looking for? Thanks for helping!!!!!
DQS spell checker
When you type "whre" instead of "where" when you spell check it the first word that comes up for a correction option is "whore." Wonder how many reports typed by some of our wonderfully accurate Medquist MT's made it through with the word whore in the report? 
spell-check
I think the most popular is Stedman's. I have been using Dorland's. I needed to update my Dorland's Medical Dictionary and bought the new 30th edition. It came with a free spellcheck. So I got both for 49.95 -- quite a deal. I've only been using it a couple months, but it seems comparable to Stedmans (and much less expensive).
Dew ewe reed as gud as you spell?
!
spell checker I use
I have used steadmans spell checker for word in the past but the company I work for uses Spellex. I cant really tell a difference between the two but I do know Spellex has a free trial on there site so you can try it before you buy.
