    E-Bay rocks...
    for physicians. 
    Tommy Lee Rocks
    Yes he made the band and did not get kicked out, I think there will be other shows, and yes this is a promotion for his new album.
    dumb as a box of rocks (don't ask me!)

    Hillary Rocks!
    Right on! 
    Chris rocks
    I can't believe Bucky wasn't gone sooner. Lisa was definitely a better singer than he was, he was always off and he did that rapid blinking...I don't think he was talented at all.
    Softflex Rocks!

    Have worn them for many years and probably would not be transcribing today if not for them!   They last a very long time, are very comfortable and inexpensive (less than $30.00).  I never work at the computer without putting them on.


    I highly recommend them !!   Good luck to you.


    The above post ROCKS!

    re: Dancing Shoes and MQ Rocks
    Yes there are MT's out there who only hae one account and never run out of work--none of these MT's work for the Amherst office, if they do, please feel free to prove me wrong. If there is an MT that works for the Amherst office and only has ONE account and they can make their lines and never run out of one--please let us know. Then we would know that their was hope for us. I agree with Dancing Shoes in the CA office, when our office closed 4 or 5 of our MT's were transferred to the CA MQ office, some went to the AZ MQ office, which has now closed, and those girls were transferred to the Dallas office, and some were transferred to the Ohio office, whcih according to one of the postings is being closed at the end of the year--all these MT's have plenty of work and only have one or two accounts and can make their production. My point is, if other offices can be run this way, why can't the Foxboro and Amherst offices be run the same way. Why do we need to be in 5 or 6 accounts, or as the MT that posted earlier today, she was in 8 accounts. Again, why can't all the offices be run the same. If there is not enough work to go around stop hiring more people--the accounts certainly can not be out of TAT when we are all out of work
    I'll take a margarita on the rocks
    with an extra shot of tequila and lime on the side...
    MQ ROCKS??? Because a poster SAYS she was hired on for increase?
    What about those of us who have been with MQ for YEARS and have seen revolving doors of bonused crooked CEOs come and go and have not been given an increase in pay for FIVE years?   MQ ROCKS or MQ is on the ROCKS?    If this is what it takes to please you, an anonymous poster and empty promises from the lastest CEO what lowered expectations from a company you must have.  As for me, I expect more and will MQ Rock when it affects the MAJORITY of the hardworking MQMTs.
    Netflix rocks, goodbye cable
    I just signed on with them so figure there is no need for cable.  Rather than zoning out on whatever garbage they throw at me, I can pick and choose what I want, set aside time for it but not get lost in t.v. so I can get things done and maybe do more productive or creative things with my time. I feel like such a zombie sometimes with the buzz of all these reality shows, its making me crazy, i'm addicted! 
    Myron ROCKS!!!!! "The terrible towel!"

    I miss MT50 too. She rocks with her vast pool of knowledge.
    MT50, please, please, please...come back. You are missed.
    Yep, google has it goin on... I really like the google earth...
    Have you tried Google earth? You can type in any address, street, city, state, country, etc. and it will zoom in and show the area and then you can hit the + button and zoom right in and see the exact house, building, etc. that you are looking for.
    Mainly Google; I google the known words in the phrase (sm)
    That's my most frequent tactic if I don't find the word in my word books. I'll play with leaving certain words out and adding them in, in various combinations, to try to get a hit that has a word which sounds like my blank. If I get a hit, I'll Google WITH that word, and see what hits I get, and what their source is (i.e.,checking the sources out for reliability). When I say 5 sites or searches, I mean I don't often try more than 5 different combinations without a serious hit. If I get a hit, then I will spend a little more time checking that out before I give up.

    If it's a drug name, I use RxList, or more frequently the Drugs.com website. Since they redid RxList, I haven't found one that has quite as good a wildcard search, but Drugs.com works okay most of the time.

    If it's a place name (like when they give names of outlying outreach clinics and etc.) I'll use Mapquest and look up the city my hospital is in, then "pan out" and look at the outlying towns.

    Hope that's what you're looking for. I do have bookmarks, but I find that even the ones I think I'll visit again, I waste more time doing that than with an intelligent google search. An example is the time I was looking for "banana bag." The only place I managed to find it with a degree of reliability was on a nurses' message board. I've found quite a bit sometimes on the various specialty message boards out there, but I think the quickest way to locate that is through a search engine rather than bookmarking each individual site and trying to figure out which ones to search for a particular term.
    Yeah, he rocks alright..... the cradle! He is the epitomy of a dirty old man. Blech!

    I would suggest
    giving them a call.  I would imagine they would hire PT whether they're advertising for PT or not.  I work PT but do as many or more lines than is required for FT.  I know they bend over backwards for me in every respect and I doubt I'm treated any differently than their other MTs.  I think you'll find them to be incredibly nice folks even AFTER you're hired!     And, believe it or not, they do know how to coordinate hiring and work flow so it's unlikely you'd ever run out of work, might be ASKED to work extra but that with more than adequate compensation IMHO.
    I can suggest one

    AT&T CallVantage. - You can make all LD calls (including with your dictation system) directly through your DSL line. I've never been billed more than $35/month (I think that includes taxes), and I'm on close to 10,000 minutes a month.


    So how to you suggest they do it then?
    Unfortunately they have to keep track of who is getting these cards and they have to make sure there is no fraud going on, so they have to make some stipulations.

    I think it's a great effort regardless!
    Can I suggest something?
    Two lines of thinking, actually:

    1) Please consult a behavior specialist. There is an underlying reason or reasons for his behavior. It's much healthier for him to find out the causes for his behavior and design a treatment plan and work for changes rather than to just cover them up by changing the environment.

    2) Please consider going against what seems to be the attitude today: Everything made-to-order. What I mean is that children learn quickly what is acceptable and what isn't. If we constantly are taking our children out of normal social situations and putting them in "specialized", "personalized", "made-to-order" situations they will never learn how to cope and get along with others. They will also be robbed of the joy of learning community-mindedness. Not teaching them how to get along in life is hateful. Not easy skills to learn as a teen, as an adult.

    Just my opinion. I faced behavioral problems with mine when they were young. I know how it feels. My best wishes for you.
    I would suggest..
    going to a psychiatrist. I also suffer from anxiety and depresson. I take a combination of Wellbutrin and Neurontin, and this seems to work very well. I have had a hard time finding any medicine that works for me. I still have episodes sometimes, but they could prescribe you Xanax for those in between momements. I don't take Xanax though, just the Neurontin for the anxiety.
    What do you suggest

    How much do you guys charge for a late fee when invoices aren't paid in time? 


    My terms are invoicing the first of each month and payment due within ten days. 


    I've decided to impose a late fee since I'm having a horrible time getting paid.  What do you recommend?  Thanks.


    Thanks! What do you suggest then?

    I would suggest
    investing in the Stedman's Medical Terms and Phrases book. It is kind of spendy, but it sure is a nice comprehensive reference book. Definately worth it..
    oh, i was going to suggest
    carboplatin and Paclitaxel...?
    May I suggest

    Shortkeys2?  That's the program I have at my office (I do transcription for a major medical institution) and at home (home transcription on the side).  It works with most programs and platforms.  I've only had one or two programs so far that it wasn't compatible (AOL and GMAIL).


    I would suggest
    If at all possible, I would suggest you get a job working in-house, so that you can get paid by the hour. I don't know about the rest of you, but when I first started out, I don't know how many lines I typed per hour, but I worked 8 to 2, and I only transcribed about 18 to 25 reports a day.  My speed and comprehension built up slowly and it helped greatly having co-workers to help me.  I feel that the MTSO will take advantage of you in several ways and believe you will probably not make a decent living in the beginning. You have to learn the system you are working on, the physician's style of dictaton, etc.
    I'd suggest...(sm)
    ...using "AA (Photography)" or "AA (Media Arts)" in order to show the relevance of the degree.
    May I suggest --sm
    Shorthand V10 as an expander? It works just like autotext, which is exactly what I was looking for when I wanted an expander. It works with almost all platforms, and has a free 30 day trial. There is also an option for paying at the end of the 30 days. To receive all upgrades, I chose to pay once a year, at 29.99! It is the best Expander I have ever used and for the price, it's a steal! good luck.
    and i would suggest
    Your response does not surprise me.  I would suggest you read between the lines in the entire thread that I wrote.  I did not CALL FOR anything.  I was simply making an observation and throwing some thought out there.  As far as my spelling of HIPAA...... I am not an MT, nor a typist, nor grammar specialist.  I am, however, a very very successful consultant in many areas.  My expertise has afforded me very nice wealth.  How about you????? 
    I would suggest only if you need benefits.
    a
    I'd suggest it if you want a job when you come back. nm
     
    You need to be upfront with them. What you suggest isn't right.
     
    To begin with, I would suggest
    Paying for your rent/mtg, food and utilities without fail first.

    I ended up in BK 13 so I can't help you with a company name but this is what I learned, food and shelter come first.
    I would suggest getting a 9 pin pedal

    With the new systems, the problem is within the wiring that causese the incompatability.  I've tried a total of 5 different coverters/adapters (including Radio Shacks) that did not work with the 9 pin pedal to my new Dell.  I found one converter than even the inventer is unsure would work and costs about $30.  I have a 9 pin foot pedal that I would sell to you for about that same amount if you want it.


    The only adapter that I found that does work is with converting a 15 serial port to USB with a product by Radio Shack with a game switch on it.  That is not a shelf item and has be to purchased through their web site.


    I would suggest an inpatient
    detox program if you are feeling really badly.  Your pain management physician or your primary care physican would be the best source for information.  Please call their office and let them know how you are feeling, they should be able to help get authorization for you to be admitted for inpatient detox.  Do not feel badly about this - OxyContin is a highly addictive medicaiton which should have been explained to you when it was first prescribed. Good Luck. 
    It's not rude to suggest a job. (nt)

    I suggest going to some place like Best Buy
    that has lots of keyboards on display and try them out.  I have a keyboard that came with another computer that has a light touch, but you can't buy the keyboard separately.   I also have carpal tunnel and have had surgery twice.   What works for me is to use a pillow under the keyboard.  You can push your chair back a little, put your pillow on the edge of the desk or the edge of the keyboard try and then put your keyboard on top of the pillow.  It supports your wrists and arms and it makes you sit back in the chair, thus relieving back/shoulder strain.   My orthopod also recommended soaks, 15 minute cold, 15 minute hot, and then 15 cold again.  I also recommend wearing splint(s) at night because you may bend your wrists while sleeping and wearing a splint will prevent that, which will help the discomfort during the day.  
    i can suggest a book that might help - sm
    I started reading Melodie Beatty's "The Language of Letting Go" - helped me tremendously. Congratulations for finding the strength to leave that mess. I wish you lots of happiness.
    I would also love to suggest the following:
    Insert a picture of a happy MT transcribing from her beach towel as the kids and hubby splash in the surf! LOL!
    She is obviously OCD, cannot let it go. I suggest we move on.
    x
    suggest after that post that you do not.....sm
    Here's a thought - don't move to Tampa, especially if you think it lacks culture, try SE Florida.....can't tell me SE Florida lacks culture; there are so many cultures, it feels like NYC!   If you could pay $2200 rent in NYC, you could find a 2 BR, 2 BTH in SE Florida for same or a tad less, $1500-$2000 1500 sq. ft.
    Sorry, but to suggest that she use the questions...

    from another company's test or website is just downright dishonest and is a violation of copyright laws as well. 


    Good grief.  It just isn't that difficult to come up with a batch of test questions.


     


    This is what I will suggest so we can all speak up.

    On one day, say May 1, every MT that reads this sends a letter to the Editor of their local newspaper calling attention to the fact that protected medical information may be going overseas, complete with SSNs.  If people don't start becoming involved in protecting their own information, then they don't know or maybe even don't care, but I think many will start to ask questions.  But I could be wrong. 


    Worked as MT for 15 yrs; I'm 60. Can you suggest another
    xx
    You suggest being less offensive ... yet
    you are obnoxious!!!
    I would suggest you give it a try and see if you like it. nm

    I used to work use Express Scribe and out of all the employees (there probably was 10 or 15) only one that I knew of used the function keys.  It felt awkward to me.


    Suggest to go to Amazon.com and buy SM
    "When The Name Of The Game Is Saving Keystrokes" by Diana Rolland. You have to have a system. The book teaches you that.

    Don't start just making them up randomly or you will go crazy. One thing I use is dividing word in half like nesc for nephrosclerosis, but, as stated, buy book.
