Today's funny typo! - sm
Time to call it a day!  The doc dictated that the patient was interviewed 'through a Spanish interpreter'.... which through my tired fingers came out - 'through a SPINACH interpreter' ! 
Today's funny typo! - sm

   Good thing I proofread!  Otherwise, the report I just finished would've gone through saying,  "There is snotty anterior cervical lymphadenopathy."   


The mental picture I got was of some lumps on the patient's neck which had human faces, all of which had upturned noses and haughty, snobbish expressions! 


I think this job is starting to get to me ----------------  


 


 


I had a funny one today!

He gave the date and then said, "Oh and by the way it's my big day today.  #50!  Lucky me!"  Then he said, "Oh and, by the way, you don't need to include that in this report."  He laughed.  Like I was going to.  It's nice to get a funny once in a while. 


I've never had a problem with a dictator saying, "transcriptionist, typist, operator, etc"  They don't understand how the phone system works and that I'm 3000 miles away and not the the Transcriptionist that they used to know by name that worked in the office every day.  They probably feel the same way I do when I get a good dictator that I really like and the dictator says, "Good Morning!" and you can''t say good morning back because they are just a voice out there somewhere.


 


my funny today was ...sm
editscript came up with antacid penis for ..... get this, Mirtazapine!! lol!!
Funny you should ask this today!. .
I just got back from an interview at the hospital I quit 3 years ago. I only worked there for a 6 months and had to leave due to medical problems. I swore that I would never go back there. I decided working at home wasn't for me and went in to talk to my old boss one day. I am not a very bold person and had never kept in touch with anyone from my department, so it was really hard for me to walk in there and tell them I was available to come back to work. They weren't even hiring! It literally took me several weeks to get up the courage. They re-hired me without any hesitation. They are even letting me work part time, which is something they normally don't do. I figured that it doesn't hurt to ask. The worse they could do is say no. They actually seemed more excited about it than I was. They said they were happy with the work I did while I worked there, and they would love to have me back, which shocked me! You never know what could happen. Good luck to you!
HELP with Shorthand. Suddenly today when I tried to start work today.sm

my ShortHand would type only the first letter of an expansion and then take all the letters away!  I checked and the Type It button is grayed out!  I have restarted the computer and looked on the Shorthand Help menu but can find nothing that applies.  Can anyone please help me ASAP?  I am lost without it!  TIA


Too funny!!! Needed this today...thanks :) nm


Aren't you funny today?
Fully vested means they've reached the required number of years of service with the company to receive 100% of the profit sharing, retirement, or whatever. Until that point is reaching, employees usually only receive a percentage based on the number of years they've worked until fully vested.
Hahah!a! Funny typo: not quality 'scAre', quality 'scOre'. LMAO!...nm

funny, I just saw this today at the health food store..
Schiff "Knock-Out" (which is Melatonin with Theanine and Valerian -- )

I cannot personally advise but it sounds natural and tempting...

Perimenopause has been playing havoc with my hormones and I do a lot of investigation on natural remedies.

Hope you find something - sleep is so wonderul. I heard suzanne somers say she put herself to bed at 9 p.m. for a year during her changes.
All I know is it caused the company I work for to be unable to do all work due today and the rest
:+
OUT OF WORK TODAY ALSO
I don't think it matters which office you are out of (below posts) so much as which accounts. I am out of the Denver office and usually have work, but occasionally run out, mostly on weekends, holidays, AND AT THE END OF THE PAY PERIOD. Darn! I knew I would "pay" for taking that 3 hour swimming break in the outdoor pool up at the lake yesterday. Sure was nice though...getting our last "licks" in for the summer!!
I'm sorry, but I can't work today.
Mercury's in retrograde, you know.
Did it work for you today? nm

Who should I work for today? DQS or other?

I'm skeptical about DQS today.  I have the option of working for one employer running the DQS platform, or my second job with another company, which is not on DQS. 


Any work today?

Since there are no updates from the supervisors, I don't want to log in unless there's a reason.  I'm in the south region. 


I think the idea of the time for posting re this stuff is a good idea.  It's 1:00 PM CST here.


Thanks.


What would you be doing today if you didn't have to work?
I'd be sitting outside in the sunshine reading a book and watching the kids play in the kiddie pool.  Hmm, sounds good to me.  I wonder how fast I can get this work done.  oi!
Any other MQers out of work today?
I have been staring at a 'no jobs' screen all day (about 5 1/2 hours so far).  I even called the office (Denver).  Anyone else out of work? I am going out to check the mail and see if I have a check!!  (See below posts.)
anyone running low on work at MQ today

How's work flow going today?
No work with MQ and just checking to see how others are doing with January work flow.
You are just too funny. Keep up the good work

I'm 120 now from previous 150.  I know that doesn't sound like much, but I just make 5 foot 2 if I stand up perfectly straight. So I guess I've lost quite a bit of "butter."


I do have tons of butter on hand to bake with and I bake all the time, but I don't eat the stuff that I make.  I feed it to my tall skinny hubby and all 4 tall skinny kids.  It's just NOT fair!


Is Hurricane Dennis affecting anyone's work today?
  nm
Yep, I had to work today, didn't get dinner started until 1:30
So just got done with dinner at 5 pm!! But just thankful to have a job at home where I got to spend the day with my daughter, rather than if I would have had to go out to work today, like some people did! Maybe someday I will get the holiday off, but this is second best!
BUT, you are brilliant. Keep up the good work! You are my hero for today! nm
.
I wasn't talking about stopping work today. Before we do
how many of us there are. We need to be locating and contacting MTs who don't use MT Stars or other MT boards, and start networking with them. Five or six of us from this board deciding to stop work today isn't going to change anything. We have to get our numbers up, and get all of our collective antennae pointed in the same direction.
LOL tooo funny. You work in this office?
How do you know?
Today is different and you cannot fight companies who LEGALLY can offshore work.
So all Americans refuse to buy goods, shop at stores, or work for companies who offshore.  That leaves a mess.  Do you realize a lot of American companies are actually owned by foreigners?  Get real and move into 2005.  You are going to spend a lot of time boycotting once you do the research.  I doubt you will be able to shop or work at all.
funny how upgrades make work harder for us
.
tooooo funny - reminds me of a creep that I used to work with!!

Did a whole 388 today....this is why I try not to work when the kids are home/awake - basically impo

There is a 2 lb. baby chihuahua laying at my feet while I work today. So precious. nm

Just got it today. Just stopped pacing to try to calm down. Didn't work. See inside---

The cover story should be posted on their online site within a month or so for those who do not receive the printed version as well. 


funny no work; seen lots of advertisement and looked like hiring frenzy lately. nm

Thanks,

Can someone tell me Chart Script is? It is a

Re: Chart Script
It's okay, we use it currently. But it crashes alot.
cut apart chart notes
Told you I was an old timer.  I print on sticky paper so that they can stick the chart note into the chart one after another on a piece of paper.  It is an 8.5 x 11 label.   I print sometimes up to 3 to 4 patients  on one sheet as I can and  I cut apart the different patient chart notes so the gals in the office don't have to do them and they can be filed right onto the charts.   Just an extra service I provide.   Takes me 5 minutes to do about 20 pages for all my accounts. 
Fast Chart, Inc.
Anyone work for Fast Chart or know anything about them?
why not? it's just key points of the chart ---
or chart condensed. anyone needing to know anything will go into the chart itself, including the courts.
Fast Chart
Does anyone have any information about Fast Chart? I applied for a position there and am curious to know if it is a good company.
Fast Chart

It could be better, but could be worse.  Pay is low, but there seems to be plenty of work and pay is on time.  They seem very friendly and tend to leave you alone to do your job.


QA may or may not be "friendly" but do not tell the QA anything that you don't want repeated to the owner.  Pay attention to details and always confirm, in writing by email or otherwise, your understanding of anything important that is discussed in a phone call, especially with regards to the account assignment, pay and contract.  For instance, you may be told that an account with XXX specialty is not available and then find them advertising within just a few days for that same specialty.


They seem to be a bit disorganized, with account specs being rather vague and incomplete.


They are very flexible and allow you to determine your own schedule monthly; however, they do require weekend work.


IMHO, Fast Chart is a pretty good company compared to some of the other choices in the industry right now.


 


Fast Chart
I have been at Fast Chart for a little over 2 years.  I did start off at 6 cent typing 3 cent editing and worked my way up quickly.  They pay headers, footers and spaces.  The accounts are easy and the people are always available to answer questions.  I know they do not send anything to india.  The owner is adamant about keeping work in the US.  The edit script platform I am on is so user friendly.  I am so glad to have a job with consistent work and receive my money on time.  I say go for it.
Fast Chart

Actually, I understood it a little differently.  Fast Chart seems to have two fees.  The $7.50 per pay period is if you do not commit to at least 13,000 lines per pay period.  There's another larger fee if you do not reach your promised line count, based on the percent of your promised lines that you DO produce.


As an IC, wouldn't these fees be somehow tax deductible?


Fast Chart
Yep.  And a friend of mine told me that she was chastised by the company President for communicating too much with the QA and other administrators by email.  She asked too many questions.  I guess they prefer her to figure it all out by herself and not bother them.
Power Chart

Is anyone familiar with this platform? Is it compatible with MS Word and Instant Text?


Thanks.


According to the line count chart - sm
at http://www.medicalese.org/line_count.html

.09 cents for a 65-character line = $138.46 per 100,000 characters typed, and .10 for a 75-character line = $133.33 per 100,000 characters.

So .09 and 65 characters is the better deal, benefits are icing on the cake.
Does I-chart have a good expander?
Anyone familiar with Dictaphone I-chart.  I'm thinking of working for a company that uses this.  Is it good for productivity.  I have Word 2000.  Is it compatible?  Thanks in advance!
Looking for conversion/comparison chart sm

I'm getting paid gross lines right now and my company is going to be using new software which will use 65-char lines.  I'm looking for some sort of chart that shows the difference in $. 


Any help will be gratly appreciated. 


Thanks
