Correction note to husband. Meant BILLS NOT AUCTIONS LOL
Freudian slip. Have to read whole post to get joke. LOL.
Are you one of the ones who gets made when you get a correction?
nm
Thank you for "pointing out" a correction on a typo I HAD ALREADY MADE
x
i made $15/hr before and didn't stay long because i made so much more on production. sm
that was with full benes too. i wouldn't do it for less than $20, but i think even with $20, i'd want benes. are you in-house?
$11.50 correction
No need for the correction (sm)
I knew what you were saying. I don't blame you for not wanting to work for someone who wasn't HELPING you make your quota. You deserve to be somewhere that you are appreciated. Now if we could just figure out how to rub your work ethic onto some of these other people.....
No, never. And TY for the correction!

Correction
Sorry. Didn't mean to include ALL. I should have said....
MANY Christians re-write the meanings of these holidays.
Didn't mean to offend you.
Have a good day!
correction
duh, I apologize, I meant to start off saying, I am using....apologize for the grammatical error.
correction
Sorry, I mistyped...8/55 as to 9/65 (not 9/64)
Correction
should be thinks. Late when typing this.
Correction.....
No, they get paid for everything they do and a lot for what they don't do!!!
I too am sick of the hospital staff/administration cowardly standing in the corner, afraid to say anything to them, as if they are gods or something. I'll never forget one cardiologist who everybody dreaded but because he was a BIG admitter, meaning BIG BUCKS for the hospital, everybody just preached to the MT and kept their mouth shut to the problem.....the doctor!!
He had the gall to come through MR one morning and brought in a report, asking why a blank. Well, since the other MT (who he walked up to) sat there shaking in her boots, I turned around and let loose. It just all came out. I told him that we are human, we are not able to compute mumbling, chewing while dictating, four people in the room talking to you while you are dictating, laughing at a joke, yawning while continuing to talk, or other bodily functions which interfere with what we hear on the other end. I also told him that considering all this, he was lucky to have only one blank. Well, after he stood there a second and started at me, he sort of grinned in his cocky smirky way and said, "Well, anyone should be able to KNOW what I was saying", to which I replied to him that I was not psychic and it is not my job to guess at what he is saying; that guessing is not fair to the patient, now is it, since that is the MOST IMPORTANT thing we are here for.....the patient. Well, I guess he had nothing to reply to that, reminding him he was not the reason we were there but the patient was. He just shrugged and walked out. Never heard another word about blanks from that day on.
correction
if you have used Alt Q to make your blank, when you are at the end of the report, you should be able to use Alt Y to jump to your blank. Put your cursor at the top of the report, use Alt. Y to jump to your blanks. Saves a lot of time.
One correction in that...
in your second to last paragraph you said "How should BE pay for our food" and I think you meant "we".
Just might want to change that before sending it out to anyone else! But other than that very, very well written!!!
Yep...had an old doc who would always say, when making a correction (sm)
"Ummm, STENOGRAPHER, please change..." etc. Yeah, like I'm sitting here doing Gregg shorthand!!! Drove me nuts!
Also used to have one who loved to editorialize as he dictated...had a great sense of humor, tho', & I really enjoyed him. He'd always start off with "Hello Transcription!!!"
Sometimes I wish I had a tape of all the docs' bloopers to listen to on the days when I wonder why I do this for a living 
Correction! That should be No Whining
.
I should make a correction
I plan to stay in the MT field until it goes completely under, just can't do it full time much longer because of the hands. Thats why i'm considering other options. Thanks.
correction it is www.liquiddietdiscussion.com -- nm

correction to below post
UGH... that would be in the field...sorry long day!
Ugh! Correction Reports!
Does your heart ever sink into your stomach when you look at your correction reports? I really don't make many mistakes, but just made 5 out of 31 reports on a particular account that I really want so badly to do perfectly! And 4 of them were doggone header things (how did I miss them?) GACK!!! I feel so dumb!!
Correction reports
Where I work, there's a new group of QAs, some of whom correct the reports without going according to the client specs. UGH!! It can make you sick if you let it. I finally gave up the frustration and suggested to my manager that I would not take those correction reports so seriously, as it's the monthly performance report that really matters. That's the one that I will check very closely.
Correction Client 1.6 is the new one (nm)

Correction: "Many", not "Most". nm
Thanks for the ''Asian'' correction. Worst for me are
nm
Just a correction, they are not nukes, they are explosives to see if they can SM
penetrate rock where nuclear weapons might be held. The notion that they are nukes is incorrect, and there will be no mushroom cloud.
When I worked in Meditech and did a correction,
the revision date and initial date of my correction following those of the first transcriptionist.
It is a Joint Commission requirement that a visible trail be placed on any corrections. There are rules if it is handwritten versus type printed. But which ever way you slice it, if the trail is not there, the facility can lose their accreditation. I was asked to do several files at a time by using a macro to search/replace. This request was by the VP of the company. I told her she knew what needed doing, obviously, picked up my coat and told her I was late for an appointment. If anything was changed, I was not going to participate it in. There is also a way to whistle blow on those who do the less than honest practices.
**It can be important (correction, no message)

just type your correction and hit 'change'.

correction: Barrett esophagus - NM
correction: "NOT ours", instead of "now ours".
Yes, the correction part disappeared for counting ASR.
:
Correction - They will be flexible with HOURS/days, etc.
...rather than benefits.
Anyone who inputs information in a report - whether correction or not - SM
is supposed to put their initials at the end where the original transcripitionist's initials are.
U make no sense. If paid per correction, why

EXSpeech Nuance correction keystrokes
Editing questions- which Keystrokes actually corrects the documents in the Correction Client, therefore, correcting the terms to the future to that dictator. Does Ctrl D and transcribing the correction cause Correction Client to sit up and take notice. Can you block the text with Ctrl K, Ctrl J, Ctrl-Shift K, and Ctrl-Shift J and start transcribing the correction (will Correction Client see that). Thank you. 
Correction.......meant to say dedicated space...

Just point out the errors and duck. No win situation QAing anyone. MTs hate correction.
Sad, but true, and sooooooooooooooooooooo depressing for those of us who QA. There is no nice way to point out errors - believe me, I've tried it all. Smiley faces - trying to be kind, humorous, self deprecating - nothing works if they are one of "those" MTs who just do not take correction at all. MTs either own their mistakes, or they freak.
correction: charge by PAGE, and keep track of long-distance of local numbers, as well as fax supplie
.
I don't know how it made such a small diff in your invoice... made a $100 diff in mine! (sm)
If it were only adding up to three bucks, I wouldn't sweat it. $100? Yeah, that's baseball registration for my son for this year. I am not giving tabs, returns, etc. away free when it adds up to that much difference! Why should I charge less for a Return than I would for a"K"?
Thanks for your note. SM
I think this problem must be specific to my particular account. I have tried all the things we were told, clearing, entering new names to try, etc. Thanks again.
Note to MQ: What would be
retired MTs in your workflow room and being TC's.>?
I am so tired of dealing with haughty people who don't have a clue
why I need something or what I do - and on top of them coping an
attitude with me because I get exasperated with their inability
to do their job which is make the work flow.
If MQ had people hired in their work flow areas who had worked inside
the world of transcription and knew where it goes in a hospital,
what to look at on the screens of the machines in the work flow rooms,
etc etc we wouldn't be getting hysterical messages all the time about
not meeting turn around times.
But no! they want to hire first-time jobbers to be in control of the lives
of people who have been in the business usually upwards of 15 years
in order to even do this MT job at home with no help or assistance -
and then make us put up with them and at the same time try to make a living.
I don't want a doctor operating me who has never been inside a hospital, and I
am sick to death of dealing with people in a transcription company
who has never been inside a hospital and followed a REPORT around.
They need to see WHY A REPORT is done - HOW IT IS DONE
They need to go to dictate stations - they need to go in a medical records
area and look at charts - go inside an OR - and into the ICU
they need to see how the world of medicine is and how it operates.
Only then will they understand TATs, reports, and why things are done as they
are or at least why people want them done a certain way.
Like if I keep getting dictations with LOUD BUZZING - i don't want to keep getting
LOUD BUZZING - I want to let the hospital know there is probably a bad phone
instrument - and if this work flow person sees where dictation is done he will
understand it wouldn't take much to MAKE THE BUZZING STOP - and not get
pissy with me because I'd like to talk to somebody about LOUD BUZZING ON
REPORTS. - It's not rocket science - just need to let somebody know.
I know this isn't a note, but
maybe this will be of some help, I'm still searching for a note.

In autoimmune diseases, this system becomes defective and produces antibodies against normal parts of the body, causing tissue injury. Certain diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and scleroderma are considered to be autoimmune diseases.

Anyway, sorry, on a more serious note...
as regards your problem: Do you have Ad-Aware and SpyBot and have you run those? If you have run those and are still not finding anything, you might want to try a trial of this program I just downloaded myself and seems to have gotten rid of this darned WinFix (Virtumond?) pop-up problem I've been having recently that my Ad-Aware and Spybot couldn't seem to take care of. Dang, I might actually buy this one! But anyway, you can use it for 2 weeks, I think it is, for free (see link below).
Just a note: There are two MTs that I will not SM
use to this day - 15 years down the road - because they did this. They will never get a recommendation from me and they will never sub for me.
You leave a long trail when you do something like this.
on another note
I know a lot of people believe as you do, but in my family I have seen lots of evidence to contradict this theory.
I don't condemn anyone who overdrinks, but I think we spend too much time in our culture blaming genetics and other people - mostly our parents - for our own poor choices and bad behaviors.
Bottom line is, the alcohol does not force itself into anyone's mouth and neither do the drugs. To me, drugs include not just the street drugs, but the legally obtained prescription drugs that so many people rely on to get them through the day (do not flame me about arthritis meds, etc. taken for legitimate conditions).
P.S. and it's an OP note!

On that same note...
I wonder if any of you report errors you notice in other reports to the QA at your office. I have seen some doozies, but I admit I have been remiss. I just wanted to know what the rest of you do, even if the report is old.
sorry -- BAD day. (no note)

NOTE,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,nm
nm
perhaps you could drop your TC a note...sm
just to say hi, and welcome. She/he has many, many more people to get in touch with than you do, so why not make the first move? I'm not at all trying to be ugly, please don't take it that way, it's just, why not just send a message saying hi, and introducing yourself? Just a thought! Good luck with whatever you choose to do!!! 
perhaps you could drop your TC a note...
I guess you mean Transcription Coordinator -- what I called my new supervisor. I hear you, but I really don't see that as my responsiblity. MQ is so chaotic, I always get the impression they'd greatly prefer not to be bothered. I'm kinda way past that point with that. Thanks for the welcome anyhow.
