Template question. Somehow this morning I saved the date and patient name into my template? I have t
deleting the date and patient name and resaving as a template but everytime I reopen the template the date and patient name are still there. Anyone know how to delete them so that they come up blanks again???? Thanks.
Create your template (save as a template) and use - sm
Control-F9 to make your empty field (as they call it); a set of {} will appear. Save the file, the brackets will not show unless you set it to show the field codes. To jump from {} to {} use F11. You can also preformat the {} with fonts/bold/caps, etc. Have fun.
edited to say should be adapter
I spelled adapter wrong. It HAS been a long day.
Most places can tell who has edited
a report, whether the MT, QA, or other personnel. I had a physician actually go in and change something on mine which was not correct. I saw that it had been changed and contacted my supervisor and she was able to tell the physician had changed it, not QA. So there are things in place most programs that can tell who made what changes.
It would be 3 cpl on corrections to edited
I do not know of a company or a platform that credits typed corrections on edited reports at a straight transcription rate. Of course, that does not mean that there are not any out there, just that I have not heard of any.
At 3 cpl, your production would have to be incredible to make decent money, especially if all you were doing was editing.
How bout....
Taking one Sunday (or a day you are not working) and make a bunch of casseroles, crockpot foods, etc. and freezing them? Pull out of fridge, thaw, cook, eat! AND HEALTHIER
Sorry bout that!
Then Welcome!
Sorry bout that
Sorry... I have two forums open at once.
LOL that would be somE..sorry bout that!!

how bout now
So, granted, you guys didn't take the hit that the editors did, but do you believe it now or do you think it is still a hoax? We were just trying to give y'all the heads up that we didn't get and got trashed for it. We're all too good for that place.
I've edited your message. (SM)
Stop the name calling. You can disagree but must post respectfully without name-calling or other such tactics.
In actuality, if the report is edited in any
go after your initials as being the one who edited the report. This does not happen, but I think it should. This way, the ultimate responsibility for that edited report falls on that person and not the original MT whose initials are first. Wouldn't you agree? 
Your reply was to an edited post
l
I don't look at edited reports anymore. Not only do
what WAS a correctly-typed report, they also can't seem to even agree with each other. Take the word 'disk/disc', for example. If I spell it with a 'K', it'll come back corrected to be spelled with a 'C'. So, when I start typing it with a 'C', a different QA person will send it back as incorrect.
If you try to call them out on it, (which of course you have to do through the supervisor because there's no way to contact the Holy Ones (QA), they just standy by their QAs.
Anyway, I'm not paid enough to have QA's snotty attitudes raise my blood pressure 20 points. It just ain't worth the aggravation.
You're right about number of errors, too. I'm sure those QA people come nowhere near a 98% accuracy rate, based on the junk they send back to me. They seem to get all anal-retentive about tiny little things that really don't matter, and not what really matters: A correct, easy-to-read medical (and legal) document that makes the doctor look good, instead of making him look like a fool.
dis aint bout me
I was consistently getting 1200 lpd after transcribing for 6 months on a very difficult VA account. I think MQ'ers just like to whine. Take whining out of your vocabulary and make so $$$.
I went through a bout of this years ago. sm
Try not to crook your arms too much while transcribing. If you can possibly pull your chair out farther, that ought to help. If you have arms on your typing chair, try removing them and don't rest your arms on tables, etc. Driving will aggravate this condition, too, as arms are crooked too much. Good luck.
Mine did get better with the adjustments I suggested above.
How bout meatballs???
I have made meatballs in the crock pot and it couldn't be easier. Use your favorite homemade meatball recipe, brown them in a frying pan, and place them in your crockpot with a couple jads or so of your favorite sauce (depending on how big your crockpot is). In about 2 or 3 hours your meatballs are done and the sauce tastes totally homemade!!! No need to stir the meatballs so they never break apart. Good luck on whatever you decide to make!!! 
Ok, how bout this? She came here turn off the

In my experience, every company I have worked has only edited
reports that I send to them with blanks or questions, which is probably less than 5%. From reading these boards, I get the impression most of the work from India needs to be edited. So you would think if it needs so much editing, it would not worth it. But maybe not. Who knows - we'll just have to see. If doctors complain about the quality that would probably slow the offshoring down.
Edited to remove place of employment. sm
That might be a little too much information.
Since your work will have to be edited for a while, expect 5 to 6 cpl realistically.
if you took one of the better courses and did not get placed, then you should expect an increase in that line rate within WEEKS of hire, not MONTHS. All the MTSO should have to do is see that you are getting the job done then raise your line rate. Good luck!
edited to add I have checked ebay and amazon

Let the next MT refuse him also. Be open bout
I dont consider this cherrypicking. Just straight up refusing to do a doctor who has no regard for me or his pts if he is going to dictate in a manner that is indecipherable. Again, I am in this for the money just like MTSO. I am not here to work for mere pennies an hour. There are plenty of jobs out there. The MTSO can get rid of me over 1 crappy doctor or keep me, knowing I know the platform, etc. If MTSO would rather have 1 crappy doctor or a darn good MT, whatever. Again, it is hard to find a good MT, crappy dictators are a dime a dozen. Let the next MT refuse him or not. It is here decision. Mine is to ask to be taken off so I can make money just like the MTSO.
It's true. You have to be reassigned a job to get the voice again. Jobs can't be edited once s

That was hundreds of thousands of WELL-WRITTEN and WELL EDITED letters

I have a microcassette player with an edited tape of dictation that
No, really, I keep it with me because I get these questions and responses ALL THE TIME. I got so fed up with trying to explain that I just pull out my recorder, hit play, and then watch the looks as they realize that can't understand a single thing the dictator is saying. Now, THAT, my friends, is PRICELESS!
OK, then how bout sharing some of the wonderful co's you have found....sm
How bout sharing the co's you are finding that offer experienced MTs, more than .09/65 char.... cause that' sall I'm finding. And on top of that will be ESL crap... And that is not what I've been used to!! Discouraged, disappointed, and upset!!

sorry bout the typo... too early and kids not cooperating this morning....
Let me know if you have any questions.
Tax guy told me to hold 30%. After first year when got idea what I would be making, he told me
:P
I just opened Word, opened the template and saved it as a Word template. nm
I told you once, I told you twice, eTransPlus is going down the drain!
Don't expect communication from anyone, we are only little "peons."
Most mistakes are not mistakes at all.
They are merely personal preferences other than those found in the the AAMT BOS which, incidentally, is not an "Official Rule Book of Medical Transcription" as AAMT would like it to be in order to sell more copies. 
Mistakes
If the majority of us were QA'd every day they would find mistakes on all of us with the quantity that we type. We are all human. But is there someway TAT they can give you everyone else but that one doctor. I am the other way because I have one doctor that comma's me to death and so I hate to use a comma. You have been with them for four years for goodness sakes that should be something especially if this is the first complaint against you. They should bend knowing that since you are now aware of it you will be extra careful. Talk with them again and explain to them you need more. Good luck. No one is perfect.
Patti
There would be less mistakes if
there wasn't such a nursing shortage and the nurses and physicians spoke English reasonably well. Our American HMO's and PPO's recruit these foreign physicians. Most hospitalist (and other specialties) are from foreign countries and only take care of patients who are associated with their HMO's and PPO's. With the nursing shortage, recruitment has been heavily extended to foreign countries. A friend of mine recently had CABG and could barely understand some of her nurses, nor could they understand her. The health care system in this country has become merely a business rather than a service to the sick and the system is broken!
Have had cut in pay due to template
use now required that will not be included in line count. It is a clinic job, part time, 12 cpl. I have done this for one year. But, in last 30 days, the clinic has created a temple of the normally used sentences the physician uses (I had them programmed into auto correct) and now, I am not paid for them.
Now, I am making considerably less money and am half hearted about getting the work done. I suppose I need to quit this job. I have essentially been demoted.
I work FT as well with a national and this PT job was a back up so my eggs were not all in the same basket. I guess I could try to replace it with another PT job.
Any comments would be welcome as I feel ambivalent to quit for some reason...
Thank you.
mistakes
I caught my QA person making changes to my work a few months back - not small changes, but life-altering changes where a medical record is concerned. She is no longer with the company - having been let go on Friday after I reported it on Thursday. Have had no problems since. I would speak up. If the company has any integrity - they would want to know what you have found and correct it.
template
I hope this answers your question. After you paste, there is a little suitcase that appears, there are options there, click on the little options arrow, and choose the correct option, this will change the font to match what is there.
Just put it in your template. That way you don't need to SM
type a keystroke.
Template
If you type for the same doctors over and over, you can make a template, as they tend to say pretty much the same thing every time, at least for PE and ROS. Then you just insert the template and make changes as necessary.
template
It seems to be a lot of template. I wonder if this is the reason for the lower price per page. Don't know.
