Same for radiologists. Films being popped up on the screen.

Causes such loud pop noises when they throw films up and take them down. Really makes it tough to hear the dictation.

Sometimes the small annoyances of MM's films -sm
need to be ignored, and the fact that films like this bring issues out to the forefront of the public eye. Look at AL Gore's movie about global warming. It was controversial, and some say not always entirely accurate, but now look at the attention that has been focused on that problem. At least when a problem is brought out into the open for the whole world to examine and scrutinize, there is at least a glimmer of hope that it can be corrected before it's too late.
EXText Word Client - blank screen everytime I give "ok" in the DIS screen
I am using EXText Word Client software with Transnet. I am getting a blank screen everytime I give "ok" in the DIS screen (patient details info screen). I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software an upgraded but still errors out the same way. Are there any EXtexters who could help?

EXText word client blank screen everytime I give ok in DIS screen
Thanks your suggestion was very valuable. At a specified time (which the technical side say, when the net speed is very good), it is working without a problem at all (whereas this was half working and half not working before even at this time), but other times, still the same problem exists.

Actually the blank screen comes every time I give "ok" in the DIS screen (patient details info screen).
I was here. I popped on now and then
just to see what the trolls were up to. I tried to keep my opinions to myself and did well for most of the day, but I do have to admit that by the end of the day, I just could't keep quiet any long. Kikki and her side kick - sm - really have black clouds hanging over them and it shows. They have nothing good to say about anything or anybody. What a couple of downers. I pray for their souls. Good to see you back too, though.
Should be popped and no pop....
I'm tired. lol
Screen Resolution/Font/Screen Percentage
My eyes are tired all the time. I usually have my monitor set at 800 x 600 pixels and use Bookman at 10 font in Word at 111% in the normal layout. What might be a better viewing screen setting to use?
I LOVE the banner ad that just popped up - sm

at the top of this page!  It says,  'Beware of At Home Jobs - Most Don't Work"!


Well, how TRUE is that! 


MT - What a great 'career'.



"Pop." As in the color popped, the veggies just pop. nm
:+
It didn't work so well for Dwight Shrute. Jim popped it. nm

Keep the Day Job/Radiologists

I, too, would go back in-house in a heartbeat!  We were outsourced, then the hosp. closed.  I was still doing that same account and others, but my production went way, way down.


I talked to a good friend yesterday (Radiologist) who I worked with.  He told me how miserable VR is and that he spends tons of time trying to correct it (not one negative word about the MTSO, whoever it is).  Even still, it comes back with errors.  He clearly said, "I'm not an MT, I'm a Radiologist, so I don't know how to do all this stuff." 


Ironically, another Radiologist called my number by accident.  I didn't know him, but he certainly recognized my name (in this huge city).  After I told him what I do and where I worked before this mess, he said how horrible VR is.  Get this:  Then he told me that the docs are being razzed about "PRODUCTION," too!  The other Radiologist told me the same thing (2 different hosp. systems)!  I told them how the TAT game works and "the suits."


Lastly, I hope you'll ignore this woman.  Don't give her the satisfaction.  I don't know how laws go, but shouldn't there be some "freedom of religion" thing you could try?  Hope you start snapping back.  She treats you poorly because you've allowed it.  Not being cruel, just honest. 


As Dr. Laura would say,"Now do the right thing." 



And please...keep us posted!


 


Just radiologists need every work to be right?

What is it about radiologists who dictate mammograms?

We had one at a hospital where I worked who was constantly making jokes. If someone had an unusual name, he would find a humorous way to mispronounce it, and then say, "Boy, that's a mouthful! Oops - not supposed to say that when I'm dictating mammograms!" Or if the patient had the same name as someone famous, like Elizabeth Taylor, he would say, "Just call me 'radiologist to the stars'!"


Silly, but it certainly brightened up my day.


I second this! Radiologists don't mind questions
You are correct in that radiologists know MTs save their butts constantly and are glad to review, revise or reword at the suggestion of an MT.  Sometimes they will say "no, that's what I meant and what I want", but they are generally very glad to have things brought to their attention and are quite gracious in explaining something to help you learn.  They know the more you know they better their reports will look.  And often they're so laid back they will tell you to automatically fix their more common mistakes (metacarpal for metatarsal, etc.) without having to ask them about it.  So we do tend to fall into the habit of fixing stuff for them because they themselves often encourage us to do so when its blatantly obvious.
If the radiologists are associated with a spine clinic
diskograms, epidural steroid injections, nerve root blocks, vertebroplasties, etc.
Anybody have any info for AZ company Valley Radiologists that they...
can share or hear anything. I've heard very very bad things about the transcription supervisor.  Please do share any info you may have or have heard.  Thanks!!!
I doubt that any radiologists here are sweatin' bullets, hon
and don't have to sweat it, like people who are not college material do
radiologists and radiology services are very very tight with money - sm
You always have to keep an eye open for who is hiring and who is looking to switch to another service. I for one, have managed to get the work I had by just letting radiology offices know who I was and where I lived. My reputation spoke volumes and references even more. However, there will always be that one person or company that will undercut your rate just to get the work. But keep in mind, depending on the radiology office or radiologist, they may keep crap work just to save $$. Others will not, and eventually I always get called back.

You cannot expect people to just hand over their paycheck to you and say, "yeah, here is who I'm working for. Call them up." Would you want someone cutting into your paycheck? I know I wouldn't. Take the work while it is there. Feast or famine. And always keep YOUR OWN eyes open for business.
Radiology dictation....do any of your radiologists use handheld recorders anymore?
Or is it mainly phone and through the PC?  Thanks!
I am getting the LCD screen. Do you like that screen.
:
screen
yep! Only had mine for about two months now and just love it. sooo much more room on my desk, and alot less glare.
I'm getting the same screen here and I need a job!! :) nm
nm
PS - Your screen name is the BEST.
We need more posters like you on this board... two thumbs up! :)
TES Screen is ...
the screen where the patient data is entered (name, DOB, acct #, ref. physician, etc.)

Anyone have a similar problem as posted above?
Screen shot
Can someone tell me how to make a screen shot of whatever is on my computer screen?  Sometimes it helps to have a screen shot when contacting the IT department for help. 
Lagging screen
Have already checked with them.  I have my own new computer and don't use any of theirs.
DQS demo screen

I find that I write down the MR# or billing number, then just search using the patients name and can get a whole slew of choices.


You can try just the first 2 letters of the last name if not sure on spelling.


When you have the right choice, the MR# will pull in when you pull the right name in.  HTH


demo screen
same here, too. and to think we don't get paid for that either!!
Full screen
No, it's not in full screen mode. You're right, though, I was hitting Ctl not Alt for a while. Have tried Alt V and nothing happens.

I did find something in MS Help online, but it requires that I start the machine in Safe Mode. The PC locks up now when I get to the dos program where I would select Safe Mode.

Thanks for all the help. So far I've tried all the suggestions and nothing has worked yet.

I'm about ready to light a match to this machine, I tell ya!!

screen prior
I would say something like I would like to ask ome questions prior to sending in a resume and testing as I feel this saves time on both sides. A concern is:     _____  and also the low rates offered and the formula used to figure the payrate. Get it out of the way, don't waste time, some are down to 4 and 5 cents/line for MTs.  Less than 10 is not acceptable and even with that, it sure is not good by the time you figure the hourly rate and just what skill is expected/given and under what terms, I have seen 99.5 accuracy expected. When these bad terms are turned down by the MTs it will not turn around. 
Cleaning your screen
Never use windex it will mess up the screen and good. Water is okay, but not the best. I use Klear screen. You can order it on e-bay fairly cheep. It is recommended by all computer industries for both laptops and regular desktop screens. It is awesome.
If it is typing on the screen, then it should not
be a problem, just the same as if you use AutoCorrect or an abreviation expander.  You are NOT after all bringing in text from another word processer...you are creating text on the screen you see.
If you look at the bar on the bottom of your screen SM

while having your mouse pointer over the image in the email, you will notice it is a "snapshot" of an ebay page and the buttons that you would normally click on are part of the picture. Basically clicking anywhere on that image will take you to the site listed in the information bar at the bottom of your screen  It is always an aol hometown site in the scam ones I get. I just got an ebay one recently where it had similar language- basically harassing me to pay for something. I think it is written that way to startle you into clicking right away to take care of "the problem". 


If the Chinese government can go after dissidents through Yahoo, why can we not get these scam artists that set up their scam sites through AOL?  I know, I know, that was just a rhetorical question. 


Drug Screen
Well, I thought that you listed drugs you too also, but they said it didn't matter. If anything at all came up they wouldn't let me have the job. I even showed them the bottle in my purse, and they said it just didn't matter, legal drugs or otherwise. Oh well, lesson learned I guess. Thanks for response.
kind of screen
geez, i have no idea. It feels like glass. Its just a clunky old-style monitor.
What screen colors do you use?
What screen colors are easiest on your eyes? I read somewhere that shades of lavender/purple actually caused the least eye strain. (I'm assuming no color blindness!) I've been using black text on white background for a long time, but I'm getting old, the bifocals slip on my face, and I'm trying new colors. Just wondering what colors most MTs use to prevent eye strain.


screen color
Is that the color the company you work for gave you? Tech support should be able to change it for you. Mine is blue with white print. Much easier on the eyes. I had one where the preview page was yellow, gosh awful yellow!
I have a flat screen already, but sm
it is small.  I would like to go larger.  Thanks for posting.  This answers my questions as well.  Didn't know if bigger is always better, but sounds like it works well for others. 
Yes! Yes! Yes! Flat screen!
I have a 19 inch flat screen and love it! Once you get a flat screen you will never go back! Also the weight difference betwen them is huge! To can pick up that flat screen and move it around anywhere you like. Would highly recommend. PS. I have a Westinghouse 19 inch,  and I would recommend a 19 to 21 incher!
Well, it may not be on the MR, but it is on the demo screen (at least for me) SM
where I work.
it is usually because they used it in a smaller screen
Open it up, click on the large square in the upper right hand corner next to the X for closing it, so that it is enlarged.  Then close it, and it should open to the full screen the next time.  Most all software will open in the same size that it was closed in the last time.  Hope this helps. 
Screen blank for me too.
nm
screen size

Does anyone know how to change the size of your screen size so the text will larger.  I saw this a couple weeks ago on how to do it and forget to write it down.  I know it was either alt or control and some other key.


Thanks!!



Screen in 2 parts, need only 1
let me state over as maybe someone knows how to get out.
2 computers one screen
How would I run 2 computers on one screen? TIA.
okay, I did (screen shot) and I sent it.....
to the person who had responded to my original question and asked her to address this. Thank you for providing the link. It will be interesting to see how they respond to this one. I am so naive; I expect everyone to play fair and be nice, and obviously they don't. Where she makes the comment about "imposters here" and she would rather have someone else qualified in India handle her record, I told her I think their focus should be on making sure everyone here IS qualified and not making sure the Indian workers are qualified. Like I said, it will be interesting to see how they respond. I will keep you posted on it if people are interested in hearing their answer.
flat screen
I have a 19" flat screen monitor and I love it to pieces !
Screen colors
Changing screen colors through the control panel will not change anything on any other computer. That's just nonsense.

Your coworkers sound as though they changed the font color and background color ON THE DOCUMENT itself using the formatting commands. That's the only way a change would transfer with the document itself.

Changing it with Barb's method will give you a glaring blue background with white text. You can't get aqua that way.

You can change your colors in Windows. Start, Control Panel, Display, then choose a color scheme in Desktop. Get as close as you can with one of the ones provided, then adjust the color of the background. You can invent your own if you're not happy with any you see there.

Software comes with built-in instructions now. Just click "help" on the toolbar.
screen magnifiers

Does anyone use a screen magnifier?  I'd like to know if they work well and which one is the best.  I am using bayscribe/radnet.  Changing font in windows doesn't work for radnet.  Would appreciate any help.


blurry screen

A note about the blurry screen...my friend has a monitor like that and I definitely think its the monitor!  But....what did help some is to decrease the width of the screen itself.  Basically, there'll be a black line about an inch in diameter on either side of the screen...dramatic difference, though still not crisp.


Seeing the screen was my drawback...
working outside, but I found a screen cover (similar to a privacy screen at a bank) that allows me to see in sunlight. I have a second keyboard & mouse for my laptop and wireless internet connection, so all I need now is a second footpedal, and I have 2 complete systems to transcribe on.  I find being outside when the weather is pleasant keeps me more alert and is definitely a nice change of scenery...which definitely makes me more productive.
