not talking with food in their mouths! NM

My WORST nightmare is broken English docs mumblingrealfast with food/gum in their mouths - and I do
Is it a conspiracy?
Ok, simple things now for Dell printer small print
One time before had this problem, rebooted, unhooked the printer and the printer reverted to where the print had been before, not working this time. I have no idea how to fix. I could go in and look at different things but what then? I don’t know exactly what I am looking for or at. I miss my printer. Besides getting another printer, any other easy suggestions?
If talking about MY docs, it certainly applies either way. :-) nm

Read this all the time here, simple solution
why gripe and get all hung up on something that is the way it is and apparently the people complaining do not see any change, disappointed with their lives, money, children, whatever. Life is much too short to just sit back and complain. I have free speech, it is guaranteed and I will use it. I have never in my life seen so much "woe is me" type posters. People find it much easier to sit on their duff and complain about what they perceive their lives to be rather than trying to rectify the situation.
Allowing some docs to have special things done.
How, when we do so many docs, are we supposed to remember that Dr. Ego wants his 5-line signature block?  Yes, I put it in the expander, but anyone else I just put their name and department in a letter signature block.  Little things like that ruin a good account.
Make the sign very simple to read and put it in a very visible area
such as over the doorbell if you have to.

Some younger kids may not be able to read a lengthy sign.

Maybe "NO CANDY HERE" will work.

I know having the porch lights out does not work for my house either but whenever we came across a house with a sign I would have to tell the kids since some of them can't read yet to pass that house up.
just read this...supposed to SMILIE face...oops again..

I'm starting to sound like Brittany Spears! YUK!


You're talking about two different things.
I never said it was okay for a company to pay their bill late or not at all. I did say it's not true that a company is responsible for a person's financial situation. There are many factors that result in personal financial hardships--illness and debt to name just two. Good financial planning means that you have enough cushion to handle the bumps in life, including a late paycheck. Sure, paying late is an inexcusable problem, without doubt. Projecting the blame for bad financial planning on the company is not appropriate.
I think ASR may be able to read docs' minds!

ASR:  He will return to see us in 3 weeks unless he has no sense.


Actually dictated:  He will return to see us in 3 weeks unless he has any problems.


I think the ASR read my doctor's mind!  I would be good money that's what he was thinking! 


I dont think you can compare the 2. Talking about 2 totally different things.
:
Unfortunately most docs don't care; they don't even read the reports most of the time.
It's OUR job to comply with quality standards.
Yer right... half the time the docs dont even read the reports. (nm)
.
And this is what I was talking about. Please read the posts.

Not the tapes, books and seminars I am talking about, please read....
I am referring to personal development materials by the likes of Zig Ziglar, Jim Rohn, Dale Calvert, Brian Tracy, Norman Vincent Peale and stuff like "Chicken Soup For The Soul" as well as inspiratoinal music.  I know Amway & Quixstar has bad reputations, but please don't put down the entire industry of network Marketing because of one company.  There are several wonderful companies out there.
Food stamps, WIC, food banks, churches, family...
There are many answers to that problem.

No one has the right to steal and writing a dishonorable check is stealing. It is called "theft of property".

My tax dollars support government programs to prevent people from going hungry and to provide for women, infants, and children. I make donations to food banks and churches, etc., for those who just need help as well.
Food for the staff and doctors, if you can afford it. Food is always a big hit in a doctor's off

One of the biggest perks I can remember when I worked in a doctor's office was when the drug reps or orthopedic equipment reps would cater lunch for the whole office just so they could meet with the docs.  The whole office would get so jazzed at the idea of free lunch.


If you can't afford to cater lunch, then I would do something like a muffin basket and bagels always go over well.  But food is your best bet.


Really???? I miss 'burgh food. Philly food is okay, but it

The food is resturant quality food and very good

Wait a minute, I'm not just talking about the boards, I'm talking about the news article.

Specifically,


"JLG has a contract with Arrendale Associates/ A+Network/CBay Scribe, which the group says is in India.
A letter from JLG to Barbara Dingman, chief compliance officer and director of health information management, says all medical transcriptionists assigned to the Medical Center Hospital account live in the U.S. and all work is done in America."


But yet they do business with Arrendale/A+/CBay, what am I missing here?


I'm talking about MT school, not K-12, which is where I learned most of what you are talking abou
My clients DO NOT LIKE IT when I correct their wrong crap - did you actually read what I said?
I'm not talking about ignorant as in grammar or spelling. I'm talking about sm
ignorant in general.
Bad things? what bad things? people's being petty and small?

In 12 years of MT'ing I've never re-read an entire chart. Edit/read as I type. nm

Yes, I read your post, and I just re-read it, and I've copied and pasted for you in case

you've forgotten your own words! Your post above is 100% different "flavor" to it, now all positive and cheery! Your first post was 100% doom and gloom every which way, including "raining on your parade", and "if you want to go forward"...God, sounds like she's talking about jumping into oncoming traffic! Here is your quote:


My first boss (the one who hired me as a new grad) gave me some words of wisdom that I haven't forgotten. She said that transcribing at home with small children NEVER works under any circumstance. Either the work will suffer or the parenting will suffer.


****


How can the word "NEVER" in caps be interpreted in any positive way? You took about 8 paragraphs to cover every aspect and completely dash this poor woman's dream.  I'm not blind, I'm not talking about day care at all, I'm talking about the total negativity of your original post! You know exactly what I'm talking about, cause you added some sugar to your second version! And that's much nicer than the first!


Simple as this!
Then you absolutely must stay where USA has jurisdiction and that is absolutely not in a foreign country.  Those are the rules and laws and everyone knows that up front.  The troops, the FBI, the CIA, the US police do not help you when you get drunk and/or lost in a foreign country.     But you know that don't you?
It is really quite simple. sm
If you are a good MT, which most of us are, and all of a sudden you start getting a bunch of crap.  I was very happy to be with a company that afforded you the luxury of being an MT, but yet a "hospital employee".  This was a very innovative thing and I jumped on the band wagon.  All the money is in ops, surgeons, they are predictable, macro-friendly, organized, don't flip through the charts and make me the most money.  After being with this company for over 3 months, at my skill level, and only to get cued 10 ops, most of which were rejected and cherry picked, that is a HUGE sign.  I did not tell "them" that is why I quit, they need to figure it out for themselves.  I personally liked the team leader, but she is obviously pooling work out to her favorites, and not giving new MTs a chance - hence they will still "be with the original team", not realizing that people unfortunately get sick, die, move on, and the "original team" will not last forever.  I am so glad to be out of there.  Don't know if new company is going to be any better, have to wait and see.
I think both, but not as simple as that.
We do all make choices, but in some instances there are very few choices.  Yes, we should first avail ourselves of education.  Basic education is available to everyone in this country.  After high school, education becomes harder to obtain, but it is available to everyone.  You do have to have either transportation or a computer, and you have to have time to participate, but if you want it bad enough you can find a way.  All that being said, if the company you work for suddenly closes, and there are few jobs available where you live, you can find yourself in a bad situation that you did not create.  I think government assistance is important for people that find themselves in a temporary bad situation, but should not be allowed to be a way of life, except in the case of disability. 
Very simple....
You tell them you're going digital, and they can either join you in the 21st century or be left behind.
well that seems simple enough! thanks

Might try Simple FTP....sm
They have an option where you can log on as a guest and try out.
So simple, when you know what to do!
Thanks, that worked by just turning off and back on. I am so techology challenged!
simple
It is not your chair, keyboard, et cetera causing you to be so uncomfortable...getting up at least every 2 hours and walking the floors for 5 minutes works wonders in rejuvenating the body back to comfort level. It works for me and I didn't have to spend any more on equipment, hmmmm, not sure about the carpet yet though...LOL 
Hi - I wish it were that simple. sm
I'm not able to use Express Scribe due to company policy against outside players. The player is the one that is built in to InScribe. The sound quality is excellent, but there's no way to access the player that I can see, except as mentioned above, and those options have been turned off.

Thanks for your input. :)

Also may be something as simple as
if an injection is needed into the arm, for influenza, tetanus, whatever, that could cause soreness, they might look to see which is dominant and inject into the opposite.
Seems simple. Look for co. that will allow U to

Simple as that then.
If you can't make enough money to even survive as a speech rec editor, then you should choose option C. That is the point.

But, the big nationals, or should I say big globals, are not the only game in town, and if you choose option A and learn how to edit efficiently and improve your production then good for you. Editing and straight transcription require different skill sets some folks just simply cannot make the transition.


Simple explanation
The industry is in tremendous flux, and with so many unstable companies job hopping by transcriptionists is normal. Nobody is nearly organized enough to keep a blacklist. More simple explanation is that every ad generates 1000s of resumes. I once got a reply two months after the fact. Not rude, nor anything to be paranoid about, though certainly not a pleasant experience.
Simple answer:

Coast---------------------------------->


Find someone you can just "unload on" - a sounding board - we can do it if you want. 


Hunker down.


Your first goal should be to GET HIM OUT.  You don't move.  You GET HIM OUT.  You may be able to get legal advice on how to do that from counselors at any abused wife shelters or community police officer.  (of course do that on the sly) 


Find out where you stand legally on getting him out with the least amount of hassle and start getting legitimate CHILD SUPPORT from him.  That means $$ to pay for day care.  None of this 50/50 stuff.  You are giving him an easy way out and you are still going to be in a bind.  DON'T DO IT.


Forget about buying the house.


More AND cheaper ones are on the horizon, trust me.


This way you will still have your "downpayment" that will be growing interest - and it will be tucked away and you will still have your IRA for emergencies.


One thing that bothers me - you said YOU WORK NIGHTS and HE WORKS DAYS.  So he gets to sleep/while the kids are sleeping- at night, right?  But you have to take care of the toddlers all day and try to grab naps, right?  Do you get this uneven picture here?


That's what "working from home" turns out to be - you get to work all night and odd times during the day, but never get to sleep.  Between doing housework, tending babies, dealing with angry men, there is no life.  And MTing is stressful.


Forget the house.


Get him out.


Get childsupport started.  You don't need him there to babysit - he's sleeping while he is "babysitting"!


Save your money.


There, is that a plan? 


All things will fall into place after that.  Who knows, maybe you can be director of medical records instead of MTing at the hospital with your schooling. 


 


Just a simple question
Don't get yourself all worked up here, or you might just find yourself hitting the bottle soon! LOL!
simple MD error

They forgot to turn off the microphone before they said the words, OR they forgot to use the proper commands to direct you up to the location they wanted.

Had they done either, the words never would have appeared in the first place.


simple answer to

They think that typing medical reports make them as smart as doctors.


Simple solution
Keep the door closed and the cat out! Cats CAN indeed be trained that certain areas are off limits, but nothing works better than a keeping the cat out of the room. Problem solved, yes?
The solution is simple
Report that MT to your boss. If the MT continues then report to your boss again along with your boss's boss. Keep climbing the chain of command until SOMEONE does something about this MT.
simple question but here goes...

why do some messages have those yellow markers in front of them, they seem to have a lot more  views  than the other messages..can't figure it out...and it's probably something simple..thx.


simple question

I'm relatively new to transcription, so this is probably a dumb question, but here goes...


How does a C-phone work?  Is this live dictation?


 


you sound new and simple

Simple -- do the math
Pull up one of your old documents and figure out your gross line count and then divide characters by 70.   See how the totals compare.  Do not know what your margins are in your gross line, if they are longer  with margins at .5 and .5 versus then you could come out ahead but if they are at 1. and 1. then you will be close to even  with an increase of 1.5.   But again would be simple to figure out from one of your old documents.   Just me 2 cents worth.  Patti
I think the answer is simple
some people are just faster typists than others. I had 2 bosses that both typed circles around me and yet I average 130-140 wpm. I think you could have all kinds of macros, etc. and still if your speed is slower, well that says it all.
Very simple procedure
Download your voice files from the email to directory (folder) on your hard drive (usually should create special one just for this) you know you will always use for docking these recordings. Then open ES and click on the Load square at top of program. This will open the directories on your computer. Go find the one where you just downloaded the email recordings to, click on the one you want to bring into ES (one by one or batch). Then click the "load" key at the bottom of that screen and you should see them coming into the ES window. Takes a while for them to install if they're long. It's only complicated the first time!
Keep it simple - make it fun
I wouldn't get too much into the nitty gritty, but just give them an idea of what it is about.  Most people don't know that transcription means listening to doctors and typing.  Something simple as that can go a long way.
