I have posted a couple of links inside for both Maine and New Hampshire -sm

There are a lot of great places to visit in either state.  Kind of depends on what your interests are and if you are traveling alone or with children.  Also depends on what time you plan on visiting. 


I live in Maine and have visited New Hampshire several times.  Not sure I can answer all your questions but feel free to ask and I will try.  Hope the links below help you. 


Portland is a nice place and you can go to what they call the Old Port (which is on the water) and there are old shops and stuff there.  Nice place to walk around if you want to walk.  To drive I would travel up Route 1 (traffic may be heavy but you get to see the coast of Maine).  Freeport is a nice place to visit if you want to shop.  Home of the famous LL Bean.  Kittery (which is just across the border from Portsmouth) has outlet stores.  Portsmouth also is nice and I believe they have a lot of old historic buildings if that is of interest to you.  


here is the link for Maine - http://www.visitmaine.com/home.php


The White Moutains in NH are beautiful as I said before.  Also in North Conway, NH there are tons of outlet stores there also.

Sorry, I posted this post under the wrong post
Sorry
Yes, she had post partum depression AND post partum psychosis. I posted on this a while back, and
it explained the two. The psychosis actually develops after the depression. Scary stuff.
I just wondered why you felt it necessary to point out that the OP had posted the same post before.
It's the equivalent of rolling your eyes and saying you've heard this before when someone is telling you a story they've told before.  The polite thing to do is listen again.  Not tell them, you've told me this before.
You are the Sharon who posted above correct? The post that kyradmt responded to?

The post wasn't meant to be posted forever. Most visitors know by now.

To the service who posted a job ad on the Main board, the reason your post
was removed is because all job ads are to be posted on the Job Seeker's board. Any "well-deserving MT" knows to look at that forum for that "chance to work for an excellent company and make an excellent line rate". Feel free to post your ad there.

Thank you.

I appreciate this post SO much...never knew this. (? inside)
is there a way to automatically cap? we have the function on the top of the page, but so far there seems to be no 'keystroke' - have to use the mouse which is very, well, clumsy.

I will never understand why Shorthand does not have that option...

anyway, thanks for a Great tip.
Link is inside the post.

OMT said, "No" on the inside of post message.

Outstanding post! Thanks for putting on here what I was trying to keep inside myself (sm)

This brought back a lot of memories from 3 years ago...everything you said is absolutely right on the money!  Anyone who's been abused will know that.

LX 219 instructions

How To Set Up & Use The LX-219 IMPORTANT—PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!!! • IF THE FOOT PEDAL IS NOT ALREADY CONNECTED---Remove the Front Cover of the terminal block that has the cables attached, and Plug the Foot Pedal into the black connector. • Plug the cable marked “Trans Station” into the jack on back of the LX-219 labeled, “To Recorder” • Plug the cable marked “Power Supply” into the jack on the Power Supply. (some power supplies have two jacks, use the left one and ignore the other) • Plug the cable marked “UDLT” into the jack on the back of the LX-547 VTI, marked UDLT. • Plug the Telephone line cord into the jack on back of LX-547 VTI marked “TELCO”. Plug the other end of this cable into your telephone jack. • Plug Power Supply into wall outlet. • The VTI will now undergo a self test; all of the lights will come on momentarily and begin blinking. After a few seconds all lights will go out EXCEPT the TA and VD lights. These will remain on. (the letters identifying these lights are read from top to bottom, not left to right) You are now ready to Program your Station to call into the Lanier system and begin transcribing. Go to the Programming Instructions, and with the help of your Supervisor or Client, program the Codes and Telephone numbers that they want you to use, into the LX-219. AFTER programming is complete, use the following instructions to begin using the Transcriber. Copyright 2003 by: Ranzy Luster Plug Headset into jack on back of LX-219 labeled “Headset” • Put Headset on. • Press the ON/OFF key. You will hear a dial tone. • Press the Key that you have programmed your Telephone access number into • After the system answers and “Digital Connect” appears, the screen will display; “Enter Trans ID” • Press the key that you have programmed your ID number into. • The display will show “ENT - request Job” • Press the ENTER key. The small screen will display; “Searching for job”.

A Loud tone will be heard when you reach this point! • As you are transcribing and reach the end of a job, you will hear a steady TONE. At this point, remove your foot from the Listen Pedal and press the Finishing Touch Button. This will Complete that job and bring up the Next available Job. (the Finishing Touch Button is the one which you have programmed with the Code 1370) • When finished transcribing for the day, Press the button you have programmed with the Code 1371. This code completes the job and prevents others from coming to your station. • In Addition to the two codes listed above, the Telephone number of the system you are calling into should be programmed into a Key and your ID number should be in one. ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS YOUR EMPLOYER/CLIENT WANTS YOU TO USE WILL BE EXPLAINED BY THEM!

Instructions -sm

This is for WORD 2003. Just follow the steps EXACTLY as outlined. 


1.  Open a plain word document and type your ??.  (A couple of sets with one set per line).


2.  Go to Tools>Macro>Record New Macro


3.  Name your Macro (type it in the box)  Mine is named "jump". (Make sure in the second box, it says NORMAL template or normal.dot.)


4.  Click the Keyboard button - choose the keyboad combination you want to use (I use ALT+J) Click Assign.


5.  You should see a little button floating around that looks like a tape somewhere on your screen.  Don't touch it yet.  Instead, Go to Edit>Find and type in ??.


6.  Hit find next (you should be seeing your ?? being highlighted while you are doing this.) Click the cancel button on that same window. 


7.  Go to Tools>Macro>stop recording. 


Type in a few ?? sets and hit your shortcut combination to make sure it works. 


If you have trouble with this, feel free to e-mail.  I make these all the time.  :)


 


Instructions
If you set a tap stop where you want the DOB on the same line you should be okay.  In sounds like there are spaces there instead.  Set your tab point by clicking on the ruler at the top.    Retype your patient title then tab and put the DOB title.  If this does not work, feel free to email.  I am workin all day.  :)
there are instructions
in the system on how to do this.
I'm sure most of you get instructions like this

from your employers:


The BOS is to be followed, except when it differs from this company's style guide and except when also not in conflict with the site specific information of the client. 


So, you check the site notes from the hospital and if the question is not answered there, you check your company's style guide, and then if there is still no answer you do what the BOS says to do. 


Does this make any sense?  Making us consult three different references for the answer to one simple question?  Do the MTs in Indiastan have to do this?  Or do they get a pass because they work so cheap? 


NSS: Here's the macro instructions

In a Word document, type a few words, like a diagnosis on a line.  Leave your cursor at the end of the line.


Click TOOLS, MACRO, RECORD NEW


A window called Record Macro pops up.  I suggest you put a name in the "Macro Name" field.  (Hint:  No spaces allowed in the name.)


Click KEYBOARD to assign it to the keyboard.


A window called "Customize Keyboard" pops up.  In the field "press new shortcut key", press what you want as the shortcut.  (Hint:  I use ALT+N so I can remember it for numbering.)  That key combination you type should populate that field.


Click ASSIGN, CLOSE


You will be back at your document (your cursor still at the end of the line of text you typed) and there will be a small window called "Stop" that has a solid square (the STOP RECORDING button) and another symbol (PAUSE RECORDING button).  At this point, every single thing you do is being recorded!


Press the HOME key (to put cursor at the beginning of the line).


Press the 1. keys and space twice (or however many times you space between your number/period for your account).


Press the END key (to return cursor to end of the line of text).


Press the RETURN key.


Press the 2. keys and space twice (or, again, however many spaces you put between your number/period for your account).


Click the STOP RECORDING button in the little window.


Your macro is complete.  I suggest you try it out.  Skip down a few lines and type a line of text.  At the end of that text, hit your macro shortcut.  It should run (you won't see it do anything but make the changes you recorded) and automatically go to the beginning of the line, number it as 1 with a period and spaces, and return at the end of your text and start the number 2, period, spaces and be ready for more text!!  Email me if you have problems. 


NOTE:  This will only work if the text you type is only 1 line long.  If it word-wraps to a second line, this will not work...you will just have to manually return to the beginning of the line and number. 


More ideas for building macros, at least the ones I use most: 


-- macro to increase the zoom to a certain percentage (I use 110%)


-- macro to scroll down 1 frame or page


-- macro to copy the preoperative diagnosis heading, the 1-line text below it, return a line blank and type postoperative diagnosis heading and paste (for when the dictation is for "postoperative diagnosis same").  I use ALT+; for postoperative diagnosis and ALT+' for postop diagnosis


-- macro to copy the physician names/credentials in the signature block and search for the header for SURGEON and fill it in, putting it in all capitals, etc.


Just a handful of ideas I use.  Hope these help.


I think you can d/l instructions from their web site. NM

And if you read the instructions (sm)
it will tell you that you cannot use that to file with.
Doc asking for instructions on dictation
A wounderful young man at my church is in his 2nd year of general surgery residency. When he found out what I did for a living, he asked me if I would please help him with his dictation and give him some pointers so that he could do better on his dictation. No one had critiqued him and he wanted to be sure it was o.k. Now THAT'S a good guy. He's a good Christian, he'll be a good doctor, and I know he won't ever change. You cynical so and so's just keep your opinion to yourselves. This was so refreshing to be asked for help like this. It made my day.
Meditech instructions
Could someone be nice enough to help me find some instructions for shortcuts or commands in Meditech. I have asked employer and only get a few basic ones.  Where can I look?
So, did my instructions work?

Part # and instructions.
This site, option #3 will give instructions, part # you need. (From Radioshack)

http://www.nch.com.au/scribe/pedals.html
I have a nice set of instructions in PDF...
that includes diagrams! The plug in for phone is rear left on the bottom. If you would like me to send you the PDF file of C-phone instructions I would be glad to, just e-mail me.
Some detailed instructions for you. sm

I believe I understand what you're trying to do. Try following these steps.


Open a new blank document and set the margins as you've been instructed (File, Page Setup, Margins). Next, click on the tab for Layout. Make sure Section starts has New Page in the box. In the next section, Headers and Footers, make sure none of the boxes are checked. Change the measurement from edge for the Header to 1". In the Page Section for vertical layout choose Center. In Preview Section make sure that Whole Document is selected. Click OK.


Now, Go to View, Headers/Footers. Type the information that you want into the Header area. Don't worry that it looks like the Header area is larger than it should be; it will shrink as your letter grows. Save this as a document template (.dot)


Now, whenever you use this template, just type your first letter, use Ctrl+Enter to go to the next letter/page. The Header information will show at the top of each page and each letter will be centered on the page for you.


Read the instructions doc that was sent to you.
It gives detailed instructions of what to do. Sounds like you only read the first half of it if you actually got the test files.
I did read instructions....

I did read the instructions, thank you.  I downloaded the PlayAll player also, but my footpedal that I use for Olympus player is not working for the PlayAll player.  I can play it by starting and stopping it with the keyboard, but I would prefer using my pedal.


 


One file has an extension “.ofc” This is an actual work file. YOU CAN NOT OPEN THIS WITH A CLICK OF YOUR MOUSE. You must download this file to the .wav player software and open it with the PlayallX or the software you already have.


 


The file “playallx.zip” is a zipped file that will open the software to play our compressed digital work. This is necessary if your .wav player will not open the compressed file with the extension .ofc.  PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS FOR WINDOWS XP ONLY.


 


This is like the "stupid" instructions on...

products like shampoo and hairdryers.  Even though it seems stupid to us that they are pointing out "rinse after lathering" or "do not submerse in water"...the fact that it is on there is likely due to the fact that someone somewhere in this crazy world actually did it..and might have even tried to sue them for not telling them not to.  I've been an MT for 15 years.  And from your post I knew what DEXA was because I type radiology.  I had no clue what pallor was.  If I did clinic notes I would probably have known.  It's all in what you're familiar with.  So the other poster is right...if he's spelling it, it's probably because he knows a newbie is on the account or he's already had to correct it himself on a previous report. 


To the original poster, don't feel like it's whining.  That's completely understandable.  I get frustrated over the same thing too.  The docs sometimes spell a word that they have got to know we use all the time...but do you think they would spell a referring doctor's name that they could hardly pronounce themselves?  Uhhhhh no!   So yeah, it is funny and frustrating at times what they think we need help with and we all need to vent sometimes.


I just e-mailed you with instructions
for the AutoText entries. You cannot use outside programs (text expanders, shorthand, etc.) with InScribe. It's kind of a long process to add AutoText, so I save up 25 or 30 and enter them all at once, usually.
C-phone instructions
I've got the PDF file with everything, so if you need them ... just post a message and I'll be in touch with 24 hours.
