I had problems with error messages

and the tech support at my company told me to run detect and repair in Word and that fixed it right up. Try that. Detect and repair is under the Help menu.

Really. ... The trainer warned that you might get error messages? sm
I am thinking this was a very long time ago as I know the trainer and she would have done her best to get this fixed for you. I do hate that you had a bad experience. For some, it works out well but not others. That is any job that you start. But again, sorry it was a bad experience for you.
error.error.error, should be a bad home life, sorry (nm)
..
What is acceptable error rate (i.e. error ratio to line count).
Thanks.
Your error made me chuckle, which is, ya know, fitting for the error. Not a big deal, and no we ALL
make mistakes! Heavens! I remember starting out, I actually typed CABBAGE! Can you imagine?  Scary thing, though, is when you get an MT out 10 years and they type cabbage.  There are errors like yours, and there are major-absolutely-no-clue-of-our profession errors, which are mind boggling when you see them in print.  I've been on both sides, typing and proofing, and I never dreamed of the quantity and quality of errors some MTs make - HUGE errors.  That said, yes, we all make them, but its the ones who are unlearned and then arrogant when you point out the error - we have to, ya know, and its done kindly, so that they learn, and still that type of MT flips out and has a hissy! No win situation for both parties, really, as the MT really can't grow in the field if they aren't accountable to themselves even for their work.  I can't give more specific examples, as I could potentially hurt some MTs who would recognize their errors, but I assure you, some are unbelievable. 
No, it just freezes and I get an error box that says "printer error". nm

All the messages are gone.

How do I get my messages on here.
I need another MT's help. My e-mail address is erinrempalski@yahoo.com. I would appreciate it.

Thanks,


Erin
These messages seem to be getting cut off so later in the day.

I got the same messages....
Two of them, one Susan Poe and one Susan Ronald or something like that. What's the link?
Messages deleted??
I really want to thank all you wonderful people who have tried to help me today. I am wondering what happened to all of the posts though, as I am only seeing a few of the many that were earlier this afternoon. Did the administrator delete some of them? If so, why?
Wow..beautiful messages...THANK YOU EVERYONE!

I really appreciate you all taking the time to give me some insight.  I'm going to hang in there.  The one poster was right--I do have PTSD from my old job who stressed me continously about firing me!  Sigh..that was a horrible experience and I'm still burned from that.  I had never gone through anything like that before.  Every job I've ever had, I excelled with it. Well again, THANK YOU!

Hi, email link is in both my messages.

I'm still interested.  Thanks.


Fake eBay messages
REAL messages from ebay will show up as a message in your "My eBay" page as well.  lynn
How do you encrypt your email messages?

I think I'm getting my first contract that I solicited myself, so bear with me.  Does Outlook or Outlook Express have features where I can safely send emails back to the doc with the transcriptions, or do I need a stand-alone product for HIPAA compliance? 


Thanks! 


I will not post nasty messages

about ESL. I will not post nasty mesages about ESLs. I will not post nasty messages about ESL.


Okay, done. I did not post a nasty message about ESLs.

Silly to move messages
Unless things get really out of hand, I think it is silly to move messages around. So what if they are not in the best spot for them.

They should at least leave the ones that already have replies.
What if you post messages under a different SN (AOL gives you ability to create several).
I remember posting a response. Received an e-mail began which began with "Hi" and my name. This was rather unsettling as you can imagine.
text/IM messages have to be deciphered and analyzed

I'm so glad I went to this page to check my old messages.
Cause I found this and I thank you. I'm so happy and peaceful. I'd been begging for PEACE and now I have it! I'm staying away from poisonous toxic man for good.
Administrator - is there hope for this buzzing on messages? sm
I'm getting the buzz on any message I click to read.  Good luck getting it to go away - it sounds like a bee buzz!!!
I don't know but if by MTSO, half the messages would be deleted

Exactly, one should only react to messages and warning from the antivirus program
one subscribed. Dr Virus! LOL!
Kind of like that Saturday Night Live skit about subliminal messages.

I always thought that was hilarious.  Some of these doctors are so transparent in the tone of voice and when you get their reports over and over, you can almost tell by their choice of words (and the background conversation when flirting with the nurses) that they're chauvinistics going through middle-age crisis.  Can you see it:


HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:   The patient is an elderly 45-year-old female (I only go for young blondes) who is here complaining (I hate whiners) of a migraine headache that has waxed and waned over the past 2 days (must be that time of the month).


PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:  Hypertension, migraine headaches, fibromyalgia (did I say I hate whiners?).


MEDICATIONS:  None.


ALLERGIES: None.


SOCIAL HISTORY:  The patient is currently employed as a secretary,is married (how does her husband put up with it), and currently lives in ___. 


FAMILY HISTORY:  No history of CVA or TIA.  Positive history for coronary artery disease, migraine headaches, and anxiety (now I see where the whining comes from).


PHYSICAL EXAMINATION:  Vital signs:  Temperature 98.6 degrees, heart rate 72, blood pressure 110/65, respirations 20.  Weight is 140 lbs (whatta cow).  GENERAL APPEARANCE:  This is an obese female, well-nourished (obviously) who appears her stated age (not Jessica Simpson by a long shot). HEENT: Face is symmetric (including both of her chins).  PERLA, EOMI. No nystagmus. NECK: Supple (I hate having to say supple when it's as flabby as this one).  No tenderness.  LUNGS: Clear to auscultation.  BREASTS: Symmetrical.  No masses (Not bad for an old woman). ABDOMEN:  (Ughhhhhhhhhh) Obese, flabby, nontender.


Yadda, Yadda, Yadda.  When you hear these dictators over and over with such obvious distaste in their voices you wonder if the patients sense it or if they put on such a good act that the patients don't even realize.


 


error
I like your math skills, 5 errors out of over 10,000 likes = 50%, glad you aren't doing my line counts.
EPT error
On a Friday I had my GYN to the urine test. At first it appeared negative, but after about 10 minutes up pops a second dot, faint at best. She took blood and told me that...I swear..."might be a little pregnant". You might want to go to a women's center where they will give you free tests.
Took EPT - said error :-(

Error
About the post re measly pay, I accidentally capitalized transcriptionist--but maybe I really thought the title "transcriptionist" meant something
Thank you. Sorry for the error

error in med given

this was dictated by ESL doctor:  unfortunately secondary to computer glitch, the patient was given Hytrin instead of Vytorin.


now i wonder, was this "computer glitch" bad enunciation that was mistranscribed or speech recognition gone bad maybe? 


ERROR message
I am trying to sign onto Docuscribe but it keeps giving me an error message that says "Editor failed to connect"  Can someone help?
simple MD error

They forgot to turn off the microphone before they said the words, OR they forgot to use the proper commands to direct you up to the location they wanted.

Had they done either, the words never would have appeared in the first place.


Error rates
Could anyone tell me how other service providers are dealing with error rates? Need to implement something but am unsure how to go about it. Thank you!
Sorry. Spelling error..
I mean adjust.
a GROSS error???????
come on. I do not think I would want to work for you!!!!!! **said jokingly**

To me a gross error is something that changes the meaning of something. You didn't get that the MT was from California when he/she put "Ca" instead of CA????? Sheesh......give 'em a break.

This is a style error not a GROSS ERROR. Maybe you should put this in your advertisement "Please use AAMT BOS guidelines when filling out application and submitting employment letter". ROFLOL!!!!!!

Seriously though, I think if the MT has a good resume and performs well on the exam that he/she should be given a chance. Be clear that you expect proper style guidelines utilized. If they still want to do things their way (from the 1950s, LOL) then put them in your delete box :-)
Just a thought.

Have a good day!

Mine has the error also
.
now on page 50, I have that error too..sm
page 50 of my book says *Aster-Coller* twice.......WRONG *sigh*
Trial and error.
I check with former companies that I still have good relationships with. I check the job boards. I cold email "good" companies and asked about part time. I have 4 jobs at the moment, 3 transcription and I work at a vet 4 days a month for a couple hours just to take a break and do something I really enjoy.
exception error
That is not strictly an Extext error. It may actually be something to do with your Word software. If you are using any add-ins/macros with Word, they can cause this error also.
Major error?
That is not a major error. They are just two straggling headers that got left behind, an oversight at best but not major error category. What is wrong with these people? If they call that major what do they call a real major errors that could possibly affect the outcome of patient care? When you consider all the malpractice that goes on with direct patient care involving doctors and nurses, two straggling headers on a report is really very minor.
Docking for error..
I'm trying to remember what it was when I was there. I believe for 98% or lower, it is 5% of your check and up to 10% for 97% and below but this could have changed. I am glad to see that they have added some US QA editors. When I was there, I was only QA'd by Indian QA and that did not make me feel real comfortable since my check was going to be based on them QA-ing my work. Once I was docked 10% and that hurt but it was like losing a whole day of pay. Again, it sounds like they are really turning things around so best wishes if you opt to go with them.
Macro help...error?!

I have set up several macros with my docs thank yous, closing and signatures.  They seemed to work fine whenever I set them up and then tried them out but now everytime I try and use one, it plugs in something that I earlier cut and pasted.  For instance, the thank you and closing are there but instead of the docs sig it is something wierd that I cut and pasted earlier.  I go into my macros and it looks right.  Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this??  As always, thanks!  I don't know what I'd do without this website!!


ignore error on sig...
x
was that error or for real
I think they are actually about $5 per pill. Did you check? Was this an error or for real?
