Can the ISP track to an address?

I didn't think it could. That would be great though. I feel bad for this person.

    keep track!!
    Me and my husband got into a BAD habit of not writing anything down in our check book.  We literally would just look on line and however much money it said we had, that is how much we thought we had!!!  Well, it got us into some big trouble.  We had never went "in the hole" before, but when we wired some money to someone, they charged us an unknown fee of $50, which ended up costing us almost $300 in fees.  Something about they let the "big bills" go through first, so we "bounced" 2 and 3 dollar trips to the gas station.  It was ridiculous.  I now write everything down and even round up to the nearest dollar. 
    Track Changes?
    I use Word's Track Changes for when I am editing writing.  What happens is you can take out the incorrectly-spelled word and replace it with the correct version. In red, it will come up as "deleted: and then the word that was mispelled" so the MT can see both the right and wrong way when you send her back the file.  Hope that might help!
    track changes?
    There is a feature that is called "track changes" and it changes the color of any word that you added or puts a line through a word that you want to remove.
    In my Word it is under "Tools" then "track changes" then click on highlight changes.
    Good luck.
    yes, this thread has gotten way off track

    I lost track of how many
    hospitals (30+), in how many states (12?), and how many doctors (1000s), but depending on the length of dictation I do anywhere from 15 to 40 reports a day.  I seldom ever have the same doc the same day, sometimes don't have the same one more than once in  a week, month, or even year.
    Sounds like your on the right track...

    along with internal medicine, family practice, pediatrics, and dermatology comes to mind.  There may be piddly little office procedures with those (am I the only one who finds abscesses being lanced TOTALLY COOL?!), but they are usually way easy.


    Good luck in your goal! 


    keeping track
    Maybe that is a personal thing if you keep track of who the doc dictates and who he doesn't dictate for.  All I know is that they can take it for granted and you can spend lots of time if you're not careful.  Could it be a doc in Ravenna?
    How convenient for them.....you keep track of

    Way to keep track of what you do, without writing
    If you go to cnet.com downloads and go to Rayflectar Project Timers. Hard to explain (for me anyway :), but you can program it to keep track of the things you do on your computer, time spent on each document, even time spent surfing the web, checking email etc. Just thought it might come in handy for some.
    Keep track of your own lines.

    Fast Track
    I wanted to thank all of you for your responses. I don't want to make less than I do now, which is 4 edit/8 typing. It's just that it seems like what we are doing is "softening up" the accounts so they can be transferred overseas. That is very discouraging, especially when you have been on an account for over a year
    HELP-ASAP Tract or track (sm)

    Haven't been doing surgery for a while and cannot remember the rule for tract/track.  Couldn't find it in the AAMT BOS either.  Thanks!!


    EX:  I probed this area with a Q-tip and found that she, indeed, has a sinus tract/track leading to a cavity below the healed skin.


    put on your track shoes, baby! :)

    I'll be officially divorced on September 10, 2006, and I can't wait! I was only married for a year and a half. I was absolutely at the end of my rope. I tried everything. Counselors, psychiatrists (for me), drugs, books, websites, EVERYTHING! I hated Fridays b/c it meant spending another two days with my husband. In my opinion, counseling is great, but it ONLY WORKS when the other party is ready to accept responsibility. And usually, sadly, they're just not.


    As someone once said, "You don't need a reason to leave someone you can't stand!" I also really like this quote, "My worst day single is better than my best day married!"


    Good luck, and remember, you DO deserve someone who treats you well.


    PERIOD.  ;)


    Suggestions for getting back on track?
    I have been doing transcription for quite a while now, 14+ years.  I am finding that my count is dwindling and it's not due to lack of work.  I think I'm just burned out.  I love my job, but just can't seem to get it going again.  What do you all do to increase your production and get yourself out of a slump other than the obvious word expanders, etc.  Any advice you can give me would be really appreciated.  My husband is about to kill me because my check is not where it should be.
    Sorry, didn't track hours.
    Not an employee - just got on the computer and did a few offers whenever I felt like it.
    Have you ever thought about keeping track... SM

    of the reports you send to QA and then going back later and looking them over?  I'm sorry, but when there are 300 jobs in the QA queue, we cannot possibly send feedback on each and every report.  Most of us are on production just like you or have production quotas we have to meet just like you.  At some point the MT must take responsibility for her work and do her own research.  It isn't enough that we get sent reports with 20 or more blanks because a lazy MT didn't feel like do the research, but now we have to make sure we email that same lazy MT and give her the answers that she should have been able to find in the first place?


    In my opinion, once an MT leaves 20 blanks or more in report, the QA person is basically transcribing that report.  The MT should get docked those lines.  I have seen reports with 80 blanks in them --- 80 BLANKS!  Tell me that MT isn't just being lazy!


    QA is abused by a lot of MTs.  They use us to finish their work and give them free lines.  They use us to do their research.  They are used to be handed free answers on these online word boards -- word boards, I might add, that are usually manned by QA people lending a helping hand.  I used to frequent the word boards and offer answers, not anymore.  Just try to explain to someone how to find the answer to the question instead of just handing it to them on the word board and you are met with hostility.


    I've given up.  This us versus them mentality is perpetuated by the MTs not by QA and I'm so tired of hearing it.  If you want a better relationship with QA, get better at your job.


    keep track of emails; keep producing; it's all you can do.
    nm
    You want us to have "O" work? They would track that complaint in a heartbeat.

    communication and reality.


    Talk about your drugs or your dinners.  Pass over MQ.  We won't mind a bit.  Our lives are rough enough already without biting comments.


    We are trying to dig out of the quagmire MQ/Philips has put us into.  Like I've said, MTing is no longer a profession or can be considered a "real job".  At best it is pickup work or sideline extra non-necessary money because one certainly can't depend on the money.


    Ever heard of "ghost track" after an ORIF???

    A small "ghost track" is seen in the distal tibial shaft.


    Thanks!


    Sounds like you're on the right track with Weight Watchers (sm)
    Do they offer counseling too? I know of two people who did Weight Watchers and they were very successful. Seems like a good, healthy program. I am not overweight myself but my sister is and, like you, has struggled with her weight her whole life. So I know at least second-hand the struggle you're going through. I think maybe if Weight Watchers doesn't offer counseling that it might be a good idea to talk to someone about your feelings and help you sort through them. Best of luck to you and try not to be too hard on yourself. Your son and your husband love you for who you are.
    Only if you're using the track changes or compare feature. Once somebody else has the document
    x
    which is the most common that you use when flagging? do you include the time track?

    Given their track record, I woudn't give them a dime
    They had their chance, and all they did was take advantage of the people they claim to 'represent'.
    It is actually ghost track - area where a screw has once been for fixation of fracture.
    dd
    I use Word 2003 and on the track changes toolbar there is a while pull-down box on the left.
    This gives you your final report without the marks.
    The junk faxers aren't leaving correct info so you can track them down.
    .
    correction: charge by PAGE, and keep track of long-distance of local numbers, as well as fax supplie

    Help that is with the address bar
    see above....
    IP address?
    Satellite will be through Wild Blue (dish) Ok, what do you mean by static IP. Is this something i ask them for?
    What is the site address?
    //
    again, I did only address certain MQrs (sm)


    and again, the ones who continuously whine and complain regarding MQ-this and MQ-that, it's nerve racking! My point, and this is the last time I will state it, is it is embarassing FOR ME, mind you, speaking for no one else here, to be associated with these whiny babies! Simple enough for ya? I am not backtracking at all, I simply retracted one word that seems to have gotten SOME OF YA riled up! So there, and I am NOT AND WILL NEVER BE a Clinton fan.  That ticks me off more than anything anyone could say to me!


    Anyone out there who works for MQ agree with me? Please come to my defense!


    I have address resources available, but

    the dictating physician will often forget to say the doctor's first name, and there will be 20 Dr. So-and-sos listed.  Or they spell the easy names like Smith, but not the difficult ones that they mangle the pronunciation on.  Then they carbon copy six different physicians.  I've got the hospital directory, online hospital website, online physician address lookup, Google, and other resources, but it's still very time consuming.


    I'm thinking I like Meditech better.  LOL  At least everything was in there.  F7, F10, arrow down, save, you're done.


    E-mail address

    I will be glad to send you a copy of the E-mail that they sent me.  But everyother time anyone has E-mailed me from this board it always states either in the subject line or somewhere that it is in response to a post on the board.  This definitely was not and there is nowhere else that Spheris could have gotten my address and see above there was someone else that got it also.  So they are getting it someway.



     


    Internet address
    Hello.  I was wondering if anyone knew how to delete internet addresses that are seen when you hit the drop down box.  I have a bunch of them that aren't valid anymore, and I want to get rid of them.  Sorry, I don't know the technical wording, but hopefully you know what I mean.  Thanks.
    Can you post the web address please?
    thanks
    This will be the last time I will address
    this because you are all so stupid you can't get it through your brains (?), I am one person and that is it. I say exactly what I want. I don't need anybody elses help on this board.
    address change

    Not sure this is what you are looking for.
    Sorry leaving address
     I have almost five years experience, still probably considered a newbie when I see some with almost 5 to 6 times that much.  But I just wanted to email someone who knows more about transcriptions companies than I do at present.
    just need your your e-mail address

    The Quick Reference (PDF format) I send via email. The manual is too large so I'll give you a link to go to and download it from.


    Your e-mail address is ALL SHE NEEDS. (nt)

    If I could address both posters ... sm
    ALS: I read your post to my husband, who works on computers for a living, and he said it sounds like you lost an entire partition. I know that's not helpful and probably something you already figured out, but just wanted to offer something here. He also suggested running a virus scan as it sounds like something a virus might have caused. I sincerely wish you luck and hope that your files can be recovered. You might want to consult a local technician.

    To the other poster: I am so sorry for your losses and I can't begin to imagine what you and your children have gone through. It sounds like today was difficult, to say the least. I think we've all been guilty at one time or another for saying something maybe we shouldn't have because of something going on within ourselves. I also send you sincere good wishes.
    Do you have the exact web address? Please em it to me. Thanks! nm

    lost my address bar

    I can't seem to get it back!  I have windows XP.  I've played around with the toolbars but I can't find my address bar! 


    Any help would be appreciated for this technically challenged MT.

    The link is for the State of Texas, but you can change to any state at the bottom.  This includes all docs and NPs, including chiropractors.  Hope this helps!  Have a great day....  


    Did you get physical address??
    Did you get the name of her company and the physical address?  Phone number?  There is a lesson to be learned here -- you still need to get all of this info in case something like this happens again.   Unless you have a physical address you cannot send a demand letter with return receipt or serve her with papers or anything.  Hopefully you do have that and can send her a written certified letter demanind payment within 10 days.  Then onto small claims court.   But none of this is possible without a physical address.    Good luck.  If you have her full name or business name and city -- you might be able to do a search to find a phone number.   Did her check to you have a phone number on it?  I always take a copy of the front of checks at least the first one so that I have their account number, etc.  Also shows payment.   Let us know how it comes out.
    Needing help- how to get IP address

    Here in the SE AT&T had internet outage this week and now 1 of my computers is asking for the IP address, trying to get back on line. Where to find this? TIA.


    If they had your correct address sm
    and they mailed to wrong address then I would say yes - if post office error - then no. But they should get another one to you ASAP anyway!!
    No where in my post did I address

    I think you need to redirect your comments to the appropriate person.  I was not approving or condoning her actions.  I really don't think this lady understands why everyone is so upset with her (maybe a little thick).  I was simply trying to point out what in her post has made everyone so upset. 


    I was also trying to offer some legal solutions to her problems.  Not to mention, that her kids do deserve kudos for serving their country. 


    Next time you decide to post, make sure you direct your comments to the right person.  Some people get a little too excited on this board and make comments in haste that are often misdirected, as in your case.


    No, There is no change of address.

    Upin address
    I have this address for upin, and just checked it and it is up and running.

    http://upin.ecare.com/
    PS: You can Google her address and get - sm
    a map & driving directions right to her door. Or, if all you have is her phone number, Google that, or try a reverse directory. Even if it's unlisted, you can probably narrow down her vicinity by area code & first 3 digits of the number. Then look up local office supply stores in the area - Staples, Office Depot, etc., see if she has an account with any of them. You might get lucky. If all else fails, a P.I. can probably locate her for you. I've had good luck with running down people in-person. Got one in a restaurant entertaining other clients, and one at work on her payday. Got paid IMMEDIATELY by embarrassing the hold U-know-what out of them in front of their peers. If all else fails, sue. $12,000 might not be Small Claims Court, though. Still that's 'way too much money to just walk away from and write off as a loss. And the longer you wait, the harder it will be to catch her.
