I know this may not help solve your problem - sm

In Reply to: Any ideas for sore fingers and hands? - sm

I have found in my (long) career that there is a speed past which I can't go, or my body pays for it.  As long as I trot along at that pace, I can work 40-45 hours a week.  If I try to push past it, I end up with hand cramps, trigger thumb and shoulder and neck pain.  I know some people can type like speed demons for hours, but many of us can't.  It is a little frustrating, I only average about 150-170 lines per hour, but it is consistent and long term.  Maybe someone can suggest something to give you relief.  I know only stopping frequently and moving around keeps me working steadily.  Good luck.

It would solve a lot of problems
If only people were required to pass an intelligence test before they were allowed to have children or pets!
I agree with you 100% Would solve a sm
lot of problems wouldn't it?
Did you ever solve problem?
I realize this is an old post. I'm considering going to wireless and will be working with a Meditech client. I know that the older versions of meditech, maybe 3.0 to 4.0, possibly 5.0 would only work with dial-up so maybe that was the reason you kept loosing connection? I would like to know what your fix was.
I can solve your year old problem

you need to type it into autocorrect like this


;yo (semicolin and the yo right next to the semicolin) I also add the m(male), (f( female)  or g (gentleman) etc.


Then you type for example, This 55;yom  (-year old male) and it will work perfectly.  I'm not sure why the semicolon works this way, but it does.  Let me know what you think.

Thanks again you guys!
Complaints about hard work solve the problem?
Not at my office.  It's all for one and one for all.  I have never complained of course.  Have you?
2-5 years in acute care wouldn't solve this (sm)
I worked in house with a lady who has done acute care as well as clinical transcription, all of it in house for at least 20+ years. She does the same, if not worse, than this person just posted. Her spelling was awful! She's at home working now, and still putting out the same crap as before. So I will disagree that even working in house won't solve the problem.

What SusieQ, and probably some other MTs who think they are doing it correctly, is there are others who read these reports and see these errors. I have had to go over papers for friends who have had correspondence typed from other offices and what I found was awful! I happened to recognize the initials and couldn't believe that this person still worked!

To SusieQ, I will tell you as I tell my kids. When I'm correcting one of my children, I always hear "it's not fair! Why does Jenny get to do this and I don't?" or "Why did I get in trouble for this when you let Jenny do it last week?" I tell them, "I'm talking to you now, not Jenny, and Jenny has nothing to do with you. You are not Jenny and Jenny is not you. You pay attention to what you do, not her."

To SusieQ, pay attention to your own work. If QA corrects you and you question it, then ask QA or the supervisor if QA is correct in their emails. If so, then you need to change your way of transcribing to meet the needs of those for whom you work. If Jane Doe across the street isn't performing up to par, maybe they haven't hit on her just yet; or maybe they have and Jane doesn't want to admit it.
downloading a tabbed browser will solve that problem

Either the check gets cashed or it doesn't, right? Pretty simple to solve that issue.
