Been looking for a copy of "True West" which

was a play on PBS in the 80s! Also starred John Malkavich.  A wonderfully funny play.  Wish I could get my hands on a copy.

    West coast prices are usually higher (I work for a west coast company) sm

    for one thing. I am in a rather economically depressed area and I START my price at .14 and drop a penny for each of several things - no tapes, sending electronically, etc.


    This job of the OP may be a bugger-bear to transcribe. Even .14 may be too low.


    "true dat"
    Isn't that Ebonics rather than Indian dialect?
    That is "web site" in post above. Also, Auto Copy add-on for Firefox will automatically copy
    Auto Copy add-on for Firefox AUTOMATICALLY copies what you select (highlight) on a web site to the clipboard.

    Then you can paste it in a document.

    It just saves the step of right clicking and then clicking on "copy" to put something on the clipboard. Just select it, and it is on the clipboard.

    It only works only on web sites-- only copies stuff you select on web sites, i.e. not in other documents.
    Print a copy of the form on your printer, fill it out, copy and send it to your computer via fax may
    Just a guess. Or print it, fill it out and fax it to her.
    How do you copy your SH file to text - do you copy each dictionary separately? nm

    I do not copy to text. I copy the spf sm
    file to a disk and save the whole thing there, update it occasionally.
    I had said 8 PM EST, not west.

    West Coast to Amherst
    I am a little confused--areyou located on the West Coast and your account was transferred to Amherst, did your office close?? It seems that any account that Foxboro or Amherst gets, they just load up with as many MT's as they can, this could be from over hiring and it could from the lose of existing accounts, whatever, it does not make sense, you don't go around making thrats about hiring other people. Is upper management getting bonus's from this??

    Come on over to the west coast too where interracial marriage
    It is very small minded to think that crossing races to marry is wrong.  Again, we are all people, no matter what color we are.  For example, I would rather my daughter marry a black man who treated her with respect, love, kindness, being an equal than married to a white man who treated her like trash.  Note that I said EXAMPLE, the race could vary of course.
    west coast metropolitan area gets 14 cpl
    yes, 14 cpl with pick up and delivery. Probably one of the highest in the nation. But, my friend who did local work for 20 years was just outsourced to India along with the other gals, the whole large clinic, so there goes THAT job !

    BTW, do you already do local work? Do they supply the transcriber and set you up, or do you have to have that set up already and set THEM up? That has been a mystery to me as I have only worked online with nationals....how to get started with local work.. Maybe a counselor or something like that. My friend is no help as she started 20 years ago for the same company and does not know how things go nowdays.
    im sure it will be... maybe moderater is on west coast time?
    I dont know how the moderating works, but if I got emailed and my post deleted because i said the name of another website just in asking a question... then this surely must be deleted
    Were you on the west side of Richmond? In Aylett we were out only 2 days! - sm
    We were very lucky....were blocked in though on our private road, 11 trees fell over the road. Took 2 hours of all the neighbors pulling together and going nuts with the chain saws to clear the road....fun!
    Are you hourly? Benefits? Pay? East/West/middle?nm

    Great West covers Botox for headaches.
    Otherwise, go to a neurologist. It only costs $425 and worth every penny.

    It sometimes is really hard to transcribe patients complaining about their headaches when your own head is about to explode. I did learn how to take charge of my own care, which happened to be extremely useful because the pain management physician I was assigned to ended up being the biggest idiot on earth. I was finally able to change doctors.
    West Coast Hasn't see the show yet. Please keep this in mind next time. NM

    Took an RV trip last year and toured around the west, one of my favorite stops was Palo Duro Canyon
    outside Amarillo, and also Santa Fe, New Mexico.  No trip this year, just had a baby, but hopefully one next year!
    East Coast and West Coast are both comparable
    as far as line rates.
    Where are you located, HE? East Coast, West Coast? nm

    I have a copy
    I have a AAMT BOS 2nd edition with CD. It is in good condition and has two highlighted passages. Email me if interested.
    If you do need a copy of XP Pro...
    Try Newegg. You can purchase software that system builders would buy. It's the same thing you'd find at any major store, without the pretty box. I just bought XP home edition for about $90. It came in a bubble envelope with a manual and all the appropriate documentation and license key. I looked quickly on Newegg and saw XP Pro for $139. You can also ask for XP Pro to be installed on your new laptop from the company you are buying it from.
    any way I can get a copy of it
    I would love to have a copy of that.....got some friends who are newbies and I would also like to refresh my memory!
    I'd like a copy too please....
    if you wouldn't mind emailing me one.  Grazi!!!
    Can't help copy, BUT
    Will you own all the entries you put on the hospital's server? Make sure you can copy your dictionary each day or two and take it home with you. Heavy use of Expanders is so new that there aren't a lot of horror stories being told yet by people whose incomes dropped drastically when they lost their jobs because with them they also lost the personalized dictionaries they spent years developing. But they will be.
    Need to get a copy of BOS - 2 or 3,
    depending on what your company/client uses. In that there is a list of dangerous abbreviations that are not to be used.
    I think you actually have to have a copy,
    but you can check with the IRS to be absolutely sure.
    Get a copy of the check.
    You can usually do it free now with online banking.  Check the legal amount, which is the longhand written out line, to see if it's correct.  If it is correct, send a copy to your auto payment company and have them fix it through their bank.  Sometimes the MICR line can be encoded wrong if someone mistypes or transposes when encoding.  Call your bank and tell them to make an adjustment for the incorrect amount.  However, if you filled the check out wrong, yes, you need to send another check for the $61.00.  If they try to put late charges on, talk to a manager and have the fees waived.
    Does anyone know how or if I can get my copy of spellex....sm

    off of my old computer? I was able to get a free copy when I went to the VLC about two years ago. I never bought any of the updates...just kept using the one I had downloaded for free. I have since changed to a new computer, but cant seem to get that copy off of my old computer. I was never given a disk, just info to download it. I have a couple of small accouts that I am working on, but am not really in position to buy a whole new program, especially after I just dropped major money on an Windows XP!! Any help is greatly appreciated!! Do you think it is possible the VLC would "replace" it?


    can you copy and paste?
    http://www.intel.com/business/casestudies/mckesson_integrated_digital_hospital.pdf

    If not, check this site out!!!

    Wow - it is interesting. You know, there is actually an organization called The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in charge of standardizing all this stuff up-and-coming.

    Did you read the part about "MT changing more in the next few years than it has in the last 100"

    This is it, right at this site.

    It is documentation that the doctor or nurse, or healthcare provider carries and enters at the time of service...

    It even automatically codes for billing, etc.

    Rather than 'free text' of a doctor dictating, it is standardized text where the person enters the info...

    so much to it, and it is exciting, just wished we fit in somewhere...
    copy & paste
    long, drawn out process which will take tons of MW space, but it can be done.
    When purchasing a used copy...sm

    Be sure to have the person that sold it to you notify Textware Solutions that they are no longer using it and that you are now the license owner. This will allow you to take advantage of all the benefits of being the license owner such as discounted upgrades, free tech support, etc.


     


    We got a copy of a proclamation by sm
    Ronald Reagan circa 1985 proclaiming MT week, and in the mail a plastic container with the company name on, it with about 4 oz of Hershey's kisses and tootsie rolls. Other years, large mug with company logo, and a bag of peanuts. Appropriate.

    The are better at Xmas. Usually a small gift certificate to use online. Last you QuickLook (which messes up my computer) because originally it came a software with the computer, but they were to cheap to keep adding it on.
    Can I copy IT onto a CD or disk?

    I have company issued computer with IT.  I would like to know if I could move IT to a CD or disk so that I can put it on my personal computer.  I have greatly expanded the glossary to cover my area of expertise over the last one year and do not want to lose this.  In fact, I think I would break down and cry if I did.  Plus, am thinking of taking on a PT job and would like to utilize this IT on my other computer.


    Thank you.


    I'd also appreciate a copy, if you'd be so kind.

    Just copy the cd to your C drive
    You cd software should have a copy mode. I copied mine from my CD to my C: drive. I put an icon for it down in my quick launch and it works great. I have icons for my Stedman's electronic dictionaries on the quick launch as well. Hope this helps.
    You can just copy and paste.
    Yes it will conform.  Also Word allows you to use your own spellcheck.  May be a bit cumbersome at first, but should work better than typing directly in Meditech.  It lags a lot. 
    Should be able to copy it into any program -- nm

    copy and paste
    The only way I know is to copy and paste.
    You can copy all folders by
    Right-clicking the Instant Text folder located in C: and selecting Send To whatever drive your flash drive is. The installer is not included in the main IT folder, just your glossaries and backup and stuff. You'd have to install IT on the other computer and then load the folders from your flash drive to the IT folder on the computer. I have my IT backed up with my flash drive but still need the CD to put IT on my home computer.
    I just snagged a copy LOL
    and I don't give a d____.

    And why would you give a d___ if people are offended? LOL it's a scream.
    Buy new and copy your favorites.
    Just buy a new computer and copy your favorites to it. It's very easy to do. If you cannot copy the file the favorites are in to a disk and transfer them that way, write down the URLs and re-enter them by hand on your new machine.

    It is unlikely that anyone will allow you to buy the company machine. That, and their requirement that you not engage in personal entertainment or business with it, is not meant to treat you like a child or to make your life difficult.

    This is an effort to comply with computer security requirements mandated by HIPAA. As a part of their business partner agreements, the company has to uphold the same privacy and security standards as the client. That will include restricting access to patient information contained on hard drives, as well as ensuring that information in computers is not affected by malware that can be picked up from visiting unauthorized sites on the net or personal email.

    If this bothers you, imagine how much more it will bother you for transcription to cease being outsourced,which looks to be the security solution some large interests are looking at.
