they made on a post with this quote "that is verbatim. QAs are only human too." So you can mind your own business and STFU. Answer your own posts if you can't read the ENTIRE THREAD and understand what post my post is RELEVANT too. You are an arrogant QA person BTW who sits in judgement of posters and what is relevant or not. Just MIND YOUR BUSINESS.

I am answering to my own post sm
above. I am not an IC right now. I took a job with LM that didn't work out. That was IC. This job with KS is emp status. If I said it was IC someplace that was a mistake, but I can't find it. It is one account, one group of docs, no VR, nothing. Why the big ruckus anyway. Just trying to let folks know there are decent jobs out there. Good grief.
Never mind..I didn't see your post answering that sm
very question below.
Mea Culpa.
And sadly, I don't have the Spheris Expander to which you were referring.
Nevermind - I saw your second post answering my question. sm
It might be video, but you might not have a video card because a lot of motherboards have the video functions (chipset) embedded on the board these days. If that's the case, it might need a new motherboard. Hopefully, you do have a video card that proves to be the problem and it turns out to be an easy fix.
oops, I made an error in above post
I wanted to say the "SO-CALLED MANAGER," who does NOT give a rats _________ if you get your quota, or NOT!!
Agree! The same thing happened to me. I got everything correct
except run on and fragmented sentences. I knew I was right.
Is Error rate post on wrong board?
No responses -- just wondering if I should be on a different board? Could you direct me please? I am new to this site. I own a small medical transcription service with 19 transcriptionists -- needing to implement an error rate policy and looking for suggestions on how other services have done this? Thanking you in advance for any and all assistance! D.
6 cm is correct. There is a school down in FL
that I am told is teaching their MTs to do 6cm but it is still 6 cm with a space so your QA is wrong UNLESS the facility wants it done that way so I would look at those acct specifics and double check
the worst thing that ever happened at school was
when students in the girl's bathroom would get caught smoking cigarettes!
error.error.error, should be a bad home life, sorry (nm)

Can't post on "word" board, SQL error. Need help on "cuselbock" membrane.
Talking about nares - excoriation along the "cuselbock" membrane.
I cannot post on the Word board. Gives me a code to type in to "authenticate", which I do, only to get SQL error returned. ??
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.
POLL: Home School vs. Charter School vs. Public School vs. Priv ate School...
Pros and cons of each too. I have two little ones that will be starting school soon and I would like opinions on all. Thanks in advance! :)
What happened to my post below...
I posted about my home-based hospital job and there were replies earlier today, now they've all been deleted. How in the world did THAT cause a thread to go down in flames?
What happened to my post? :(
I posted yesterday about help quitting smoking. I can't imagine how something like that would have gotten nasty. Was it deleted? I didn't even get to see any responses and was really looking for help.
I usually don't post here, but I happened
to spot this conversation and thought I'd chime in. I, too, sometimes wonder how a particular MT gets through the day if they don't know the basics, but I can understand their pain. It brings me back over 20 years when I first started. I actually cried when I first worked in a hospital. I thought I'd never get it? It's hard in the beginning, and I laugh now when I look back at what I DIDN'T KNOW. You have to start somewhere, and this help board should be considered just that - HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT.
What happened to the post re: RadGuy?
I miss him!!
Thanks. I was going to correct my post.
After being told I had to download the new version for InScribe, I was told I could not use any outside player. I misunderstood the reason for that and just assumed that they meant it would not work with an outside player, Express Scribe, Gearplayer, etc.
After going back and fourth with questioning about this, I finally found out that it's the MTSO who does not want an outside player used and will only allow the built-in player.
So it has nothing whatsoever to do with InScribe and I apologize for causing problems.
However, the new version does require the USB pedal (according to the tech guy at Emdat).
This post is 100% correct in that
the way social security was set up was not entitlement. I have paid for years and I am choosing not to take retirement now at my retirement age, not because I do not have the income from retirement funds and other places but because I feel I can still work and be productive. I see no reason whatsoever to quit at a time when my skills are still good and I can contribute to my home- also I know by continuing to work just is pooling more money if and when I decide to take my social security. I would not be so ignorant to take early retirement if I did not do planning ahead of time.
No, it just freezes and I get an error box that says "printer error". nm
.
Happened to me too -- won't let me post, even after I entered the address. I am clueless. :( n

Sorry - do not know what happened to my above post. I press 2 for decrease, 3 for increase. nm

This post is correct in its content.

You're correct on this post!!....sm
I suppose the platform used has A LOT to do with it - I didn't think of that prior to my post back at you. *S* I'll have to rethink it all. But I am far faster on ASR than any regular reports (well, I get tons of ESL as we all do today).
*S*
The post above you completely correct
and why do you have to get up on the wrong side in order to state what is the truth? You have no rights per se to work from home- it is their job and like her, I would be very glad just to have had the chance to work from home. The job owes her absolutely nothing other than to pay her for her work. A reality check is indeed in line. Too many prima donnas here thinking they should be given the ability to call the shots. Ha!
The above post totally correct
IN the 80s I made almost 60 thousand but not anymore. Some will come on and say they make that much but just with a 40 hour week, not anymore.
Sorry. Not sure what happened to the rest of my post - supposed to say BBB and District Attorney -
Office for nonpayment by an MTSO. I live in a different state. The amount is also less than $100. Thanks.
Now, if someone could post the correct way to insert these smileys. They are so cute! nm

Above post is correct, see link - Ashe disclosed himself...
somebody called the press and leaked the story - but absolutely no identification that it was a healthcare worker. More likely an old ex-girflriend!
"Ashe, who was ranked first in the tennis world in 1968 and 1975, said with some bitterness that he was making his disclosure only because the newspaper USA Today had called him last week and revealed that it was working on a story saying he had AIDS. "
You read my post ABSOLUTELY correct. Supervisors don't need my appreciation nor
do I need their's. We all just want to get paid if you are honest. I don't have time to worry if I am appreciated by MQ. I just want them to pay me for an honest day's work. I guess that shows they like me, they really, really like me. Talk is cheap. I get it all the time from MQ CEO/management, how much I am appreciated. I just want to paid for my time and don't want to hear all the talk. I mean who really cares. So if they appreciate me and don't pay me for my efforts, what do I do with this "appreciation"? Bank it?
You are the Sharon who posted above correct? The post that kyradmt responded to?
I agree, nasty and rude people lately, where are the grownups is correct in a former post.
I agree with all you said. I come here sometimes just to share thoughts, experiences, and to really help others as it helps me to help. There are some unnecessary, hurtful responses on here. The admin cannot police all and she should not be expected to. Have a little consideration, people, we are all in the same lifeboat here. As for leaving the profession, think about it. I have been tempted many times, have tried working in other fields but totally boring after hearing all that I've heard as an MT. I can't read a non-fiction book as it all seems so shallow and ridiculous to me. For too many years I have shared the lives of people on a real, non-fictional basis through my work. It is an interesting and informative profession and even doctors are amazed at how much information I have in this little brain of mine. I have on occasion saved many people in my family (including myself) from unnecessary harm or eary intervention. Please think about it before you leave us. As for this board, I llove it except for the nasty posts, but that's life. As we all know, it takes all kinds. Most people here belong in the helping profession. If they're in it for the money, it shows. Character shows up in the positive posts on here. We are, after all, supposed to be in the helping profession, not the kill or be-killed attitude some have. I would say most of us come in here for knowledge, friendship and just plain sharing. If we have a little laugh once in awhile, it helps, but not when it turns into a cat fight. IMHO, of course! 
Bringing the head lice post back up. This has been going around at my daughter's school.
Saturday, after having been checking her head all week, found lice on her head. Did the treatment on her, on me, DH and other daughter, just in case. Only youngest and myself apparently had them. Got rid of the lice, now need to deal with the eggs. No problem with daughter's head because I am meticulous and have been checking daily and removing anything I find. My problem is my own head. Oldest daughter tried to look through, but she had hard time, though she tried. Husband "I don't see anything", so not much help. I can't look at my own head, so my dilema is how do I get the eggs off my own head and keep them from rehatching? Any help/advice would be appreciated. Never gone throught his before.
Thanks for answering
With my second job, I have to use an external modem to dial up, they don't support high-speed internet. Is that what you have to do as well? We wondered if it would dial up or not. Where we live, if the phone goes out the cable goes out, as the cable uses the fiberoptic lines, so it's pretty much the same I guess if the internet went out, so would vonage. Seems like a really good deal.
Thanks for answering! (sm)
I think that is excellent that you can do that much. 1500 lines (with the kids home all day) would probably take me 12 hours! My little one will go to kindergarten 2 years from now. While I certainly hate to wish away the years, since children seem to grow up so quickly anyway, I know my work days will be so much easier and much more productive when they are all in school.
Thanks for answering (sm)
I was referring to Meditech Client. I remember someone posting about an F8 function that took the spaces out. I've been trying to locate the post, but I can't find it.

Would like to hear opinions!
Thanks for answering.
My nephew next door just got a new laptop and together we have been trying to research possibilities. He has Verizon as his cell phone carrier and we have a local service. I had just stumbled onto the local fixed wireless service online and was just trying to check on feasibility of all options before actually making calls. It has been my experience that many companies supplying these services will assure you they can can work for you, but after they get your money you find out they cannot. I refuse to plop money down until I find out what (if anything) will work here. Until then I will contend with dial-up. At least it is cheap. I really appreciate your information. Thank you so much for taking time to respond.
Thank you so much for answering! sm
I really want to move on so I think I will continue my pursuit of my RHIA and my Masters in Heath Services Administration.
I really appreciate your answering!!
RE: Thank you for answering my
question. Not I realize how the hospitals are making such a huge profit by switching to VR. Yes, it may be easier on us to edit, but we are also being deprived of lines that we would be entitled to by transcribing the demographics and the list of recipients.
What are you asked to do (and not be paid for) if you cannot find a doctor's name in the database?
Thank You so very much for answering my questions
People on this board are great. Always willing to help. This should solve my problem.
Answering your questions,
No my husband does not make $1.00 an hour. He tells me sounds like your husband might have been owner of his truck but then mine is in the union and thank goodness, he was able to bring home over $100,000.00 last year which now allows me to work part-time instead of all the time. He does not do the gone for 3 days or more a week, in fact he is home so much feels sometimes like he is not gone at all. His off day is Monday. Gets home around 4 that morning and sleeps for awhile and then does not have to return to work until Tuesday at 9 p.m. the next day. He returns home again on Wednesday morning and then leaves out again at 9. We have loads of quality time together. He is not an owner, does not worry about having to pay this person or that and this is a great thing for us, our medical insurance is a freeby. I love his job. We are further up in age so we both enjoy our time together as much as our down time from each other. Gotta run, on my way to my ceramic class before work this morning.
Thank you for answering. Much appreciated.

answering a question or two
Hello again, I see my email address was removed, sorry, didn't know that was a bad thing to put it in, sorry about that. If anyone is still interested if you just reply to my first post or this one, I will get back with you.
I had someone ask me if you had to be an MT for a bunch of years to help out with my MT mentoring project, and nope, if you know the answer to a question that's been asked it doesn't matter if you've been an MT for a month or 20 years, all the help we can get would be greatly appreciated.
I know that most people can get their questions answered here because MT Stars rock, but my hope is to help people out who need a question answered quickly. Heck, I know I've been an MT for quite a while and I still have questions sometimes that I need an answer to right away and QA is slow to respond.
Anyway, thanks you guys for the responses I've already gotten, you guys are great. Shannon
There you go again,Mary, answering
tsk, tsk, tsk...
Answering your last question...
The doctor would probably just deny up and down that he actually said it that way! Those kinds of mistakes always get passed off as [must have been the transcriptionist's typo, I couldn't have said that!] grrrr..... ;)
Everyone answering, are all working on VR or do you just not want to?
NM
I did that with 2 kids with time mgmt and a high school girl who babysat 3 days a week after school
nm
Would you mind answering another question
Once you have created the template, if you need to make changes to it, how do you open the template rather than a new document based on the template?
I sure would appreciate any help on this. TIA
I have hesitated in answering this question--sm
simply for how it will be perceived, but someone below mentioned something about not caring for elders if there had been abuse. My mother physically and emotionally abused me from the day of my birth. She never wanted another child and made no bones about letting me know that my whole entire life. I have had difficulties all my life in developing and maintaining loving relationships with anyone, be it male or female, my whole life. My father died three years ago now and my mother has tried to force herself on all of her kids since then, expecting us to take the place of our dad and provide her entertainment and socialization. I must mention that my mother is a raving alcoholic with violet outbursts when she is drunk. My sister and first child has always been the favorite, but she lives 200 miles away. My brother and youngest child had enough of her demands and expectations when she moved to his same town after my father passed on. He has moved 500 miles away now and has washed his hands of her. She has since moved to within one mile of me and now I am "expected" to do everything for her that she needs. I have no warm and fuzzy feelings for her due to past treatment of me, but I do what I can for her out of pure responsibility. She cannot drive anymore, so that is left entirely up to me. My sister comes around only on holidays, but that is about it. I have contributed financial support when needed, I take her wherever she needs to go, but on my schedule not hers, and I have had her tell my siblings and other relatives that I won't do anything for her and that I absolutely refuse to, which is definitely not true. I gave up defending myself. I do what I have to do, but not because I want to. I will not see her in a nursing home. I do not feel they are appropriate, but she is still my mother, no matter what water has crossed under any bridges. She is 78, mourns my father's passing, and wishes for death every day of her life. She is needy and demanding and I hate that, but I do what I have to do.
this is just my story and I am not wanting to start any arguments here. Just venting, I guess.
It may be old news, but it's something I wanted to know. Thanks for answering. sm
I do think the name "American" has been removed, as it should have been. Thanks again.
