for a few individuals.  These are so discouraging for the ones who are doing a good job.  Supervisors are not so important that they can't take the time to change the e-mail address so the letter is sent to only those who are messing up - and, conversely, if you can't take the time to figure out who is messing up, then you won't take the time to find out who is doing a good job, so you will never give a raise. 

Yes - my letter is perfect example of sending an e-mail to every supervisor and MTSO.  See how ineffective it is?  Makes you feel very defensive if you are not guilty of doing this.  Imagine how it makes me feel when I get these notes after working 10-12 hours to try to help you get caught up, and then you send out a note that basically says how lazy we all are.  Thanks a lot.  There are a lot better companies out there than you, and even a few who might appreciate high quality and high quantity work.   

We are now typing in Dictaphone (with voice recognition).  The hospital is looking at other, more affordable options.  We are looking mostly at WinScribe.  Anyone use this and like/dislike?  What are you using and do you like it?

Thanks!

I currently use a program called PC cillin.  I have used Norton, and with both I still managed to get "worms" on my computer. Also, my internet service is with AOL.

Thanks.

I would like opinions regarding WOW versus Comcast. I want to switch from Comcast because my monthly bill has went from 70.00 to 100.00 per month.  I called WOW and they said they will be charing 70.00 per month until 2011. I just want to know if the change is worth it, which I think it will be because 30.00 a month is quite a jump.

Thanks

Did anyone ever have a problem and have garbage at the beginning of a file and in between like this?

What can I do?  Thanks.

Does anyone know what speed Internet an MT should have?  I have cable (but didn't purchase the fastest) and have run tests on a free site to check it, but I'm not really sure what I am looking for as far as results.

Also, I am the one who posted about routers.  I failed to ask before if the router can also affect the speed performance of the computer and, if so, what to look for there.

Any help much appreciated! 

I have a question about word expanders. I have been researching a few also. Can you tell me do they have samples of how to put in the expanders, such as, (ht-hypertension) or anything like that. I can do a few on my own, but would be helpful to have others to help me along with.

Also someone mentioned about backing up the dictionary. Does this also back up the autocorrect or do I have to do that a different way. I have Stedmans dictionary and not sure how to go about backing these up, especially the autocorrect.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have Stedman's Medical Dictionary and QuickLook Drug in my programs, but they apparently haven't been activated (if that's the right word). 

Any technically-minded reader that can tell me step by step how to open these files and "launch" them so I can create my short-cuts and start utilizing them?

TIA for any much-appreciated info!!!

My family is interested in relocating to Texas.  Since I work at home, I can pretty much live anywhere, so I'm hoping some of you can give me the scoop.  What are the best cities to live in?  Best schools?  Nicest area? 

Thanks in advance!

That is what I have been trying to say on this board.  Check out what Claudia Tessier has been up to the last few years - she is the executive director of Mobile Healthcare Alliance.  This is the 'electronic record' using the technology that will be silencing our keyboards forever in a few years. 

There is no need to worry about outsourcing overseas...point-of-service, hand-held mobile devices with STANDARDIZED TEXT rather than FREE TEXT will be used.  No more dictating...done, gone. 

I have E'd Ms.  Tessier with some questions, but have yet to get a response.  Perhaps she has some ideas for the 400,000 displaced MTs that will be without work. 

We should have done what she did, 'if you can't beat em, join them' 

If MTs would have stayed current with the technology somehow, perhaps this would not have had to happen.

Hello everyone!

Can anyone help with a site for sample OR reports particularly diskectomy?

Thank you!

I was chosen to sit for the beta.  Of course, it looks like the first day it's available to take is the day before I am due to have this baby.  What do ya'll think of this credential?  I've worked part time as a MT for a year in March doing the big 4 with a small national.  I am a nurse-turned-MT.  In fact, I took my nursing boards the day I was due with my first girl.  Weird.

I wish I could just go sit for the regular ol' CMT exam, but this will pacify me in the meantime.

Thank you!

I was taught years ago that generic medications were to be in "lower case."  However, I then worked for a facility (for 14 years) who wanted all medications capitalized.  I am now back to at-home transcription and back to having to transcribe generic medications the correct way, but I am having to look almost all medications up, not for the actual spelling, but to see if it is a generic medication or not.  Any suggestions on how I can streamline this process?  It is really slowing down my production.  TIA
