Re: Shorthand/DQS - I put this on the tech board, no reply, thought I'd try here.(sm)

Well, I guess I'm going to be using the DQS soon and the word Expander I use currently (Smartype) is not compatible.  Since the expander is empty in DQS (other than the headings) I'm looking to get an expander that is compatible.  I believe I saw Shorthand listed somewhere here as working well.  How do you like it?  Is it hard or easy to use?  If not Shorthand, what else works and is reasonably priced?  I'm dreading the switch because it's "hard to teach an old dog new tricks" and so I want to make it as easy on myself as possible.  Any input is greatly appreciated.


Put technical questions (even computers) on Tech board. (NM)

Your husband tech guys are not the bible. You have go give access for tech sm
support to get onto your computer. Just sit there and watch everything they do. If you still feel uncomfortable do not take the job.
Agree. You could be a Surgical Tech or Respiratory Therapy or a Med. Tech. nm

cherrypicking co-worker issue (meant to post it on this board instead of MQ board) sm...

I need opinions please...I work on a very small account with just a handful of ladies.  Because of the nature of the software (trying not to get too specific here) we can see who is working online and what reports they are working on in real-time...



We have one cherrypicker on the account.  Instead of using FIFO method, she retrieves the reports by author ID - usually picking the better dictators of course.  She knows I busted her and she did admit to it in on our work e-mail (not too bright) which I am saving just in case she gets out of hand - so far I'm still able to make money since really most of the dictators aren't bad. 



But every night it's starting to wear on me since she's screwing up turnaround time.  I don't really want to cause a big uproar being that it is such a small account and I need to work with her almost every night usually one on one.



What would you all do?  I want to handle this as delicate and professional as possible because we can't really afford to lose anyone on this account.  In other words, I refuse to stoop to her level by cherrypicking right back.


My boss has asked me several times why so-and-so does so much more than I do...I just bite my lip at that point but one of these days I think I might explode and just open up a can of worms....


Definitely one of the other board's people who refer to those on this board as "holy rollers,&

Med-Tech

Hi,


Just wondering if anyone had any info on Med-Tech in Lousiana. I didn't see any good or bad in the archives. Thanks!

Med-Tech

Hi Bobbie,


Thanks for your input. Their schedule didn't work for me anyway-they were going to hire me without even doing an interview! I hope you had better luck in whatever you chose next.


Jen


Did you like being a vet tech? I'd like
to hear more about it, if you don't mind.
oh yes, but the tech guy did all that for me.
Can't really help you much in that way, but you can get it online, I think that's what he did.  It has junk mail files, suspected junk mail files, and then of course my "wanted" email file.  I'm not very computer "savvy" so that's why I needed help.  But it looks to me like you can just go to SpamBayes and load it. I know it has a "wizard" to load it.  Good luck because this spam thing has gotten way out of hand.  Should be a law against it!  Maybe someone else has heard of it, maybe try the technical help board if you can't get it to work.  I'm sorry that I can't help much more than that.  But yes, in answer to your question, you can set up your email as you would like.  Good luck, and hope this helps.
Hey, you tech MT's, help please.

I got a LinkSys router at Wal-Mart and with tech help, I got my Vista computer and other computer going at the same time; however, I unplugged the cable from the phone jack one night, as it was storming, and could not get both computers back on line after that.  I actually have returned the router and doing without for now.


I would like your experiences and any help that you could give me. I have used cable router before, but not for phone line -- DSL.  Thanks.


I would think the tech could do it. At my
former job they were able to switch them from Medscribe to DQS.
Must say, as former vet tech myself, that

need tech help

maybe posted this on wrong board earlier:


I have a daughter vet in another state that would like me to transcribe her work.  Is there is way to do this via digital and/or a call-in dictation system without going through an MTSO?  Any suggestions? I'd sure love to be able to do that for her!


Need tech help, anyone!
Help!  I have my expansions in Word 2003 autoaorrect, called MSO1033.acl file.  I wanted to transport this file to another computer using Word 2007.  I got it over to the other computer, have installed it in the proper directory, and have renamed the Word 2003 file so it is called MSO.acl, which is what Word 2007 calls it.  Yet, when I open Word 2007 on the destination computer, my expansions are not there.  The file is showing in the directory, verified by my last date of change before I moved it, and is more than three times the size of a normal .acl file.  Can anyone tell me what boat I'm missing here?  Thanks, appreciate it.
What about an x-ray tech? Seems like there

MT becoming RAD TECH

I have heard MTs switching over to nursing, coding/billing, but has anyone else considered training for Radiology Technology.  I was considering this but found out the course work is very intense for 2-3 years while working in the hospital as an intern.  Can't do it now but still considering it in the future.  I hear the demand is only growing in this field and can't see it being outsourced. 


wrong board - rules are pls use WORD board

I meant to say Job-Seekers Board, not Company Board.
No mssg.
Med-Tech, Mediscript in LA

Any info on these companies would be appreciate-I haven't found very much yet. Thanks!

TRS, SoftScript, Med-Tech

Hi,


Just wondering if anyone has worked for any of these companies. I'm down to making my final choice. Thanks!

Tech support will help you set up a
shortcut on your desktop to access your ACO (shortcut) file if you ask them.
Re: tech support
I don't know if it gets back to our supervisors, but I wish it would get back to theirs! What I do now is tell the "real winner" support person that I have to hang up suddenly. Then, I call right back. I suddenly get a different one who is a whiz and very helpful. It's worth the hang-up and call back unless you have to wait 45 minutes for the next "helpful tech." ;-)
Check with tech there. sm
I don't remember if I asked or not, but I did import my shorthand files into ExText, so I didn't have to start from scratch.

Good luck! I hope you're as happy with Amphion as I am!
Cardiac tech here....

Not sure what you mean by weird heart murmur.  That should have been checked at least with echocardiogram.  I'm thinking mitral valve prolapse which can cause chest pain and exercise symptoms but is generally benign. 


At  your age and being female it is highly unlikely it is cardiac disease.  They would probably do an EKG while you're having the pain and check enzymes. 


Chest pain is very very common and often is not cardiac.  It's cause is unclear, sometimes costochondritis, sometimes GI, sometimes just unknown.


You still need to see a physician very soon to determine if NSAIDs or other simple meds (Protonix) are the answer or more tests are needed.

A4 Tech antiRSI
I've done the MS natural and also the Kinesis but I keep coming back to this thing. It has pyramid shaped keys that seem to be a little bit closer together than a normal keyboard. It only costs around $7 at Dealsonic. I should probably pick up another one for back up.
med-tech company
Has anyone heard of this company?  It is out of Marietta,Georgia.  Any information would be appreciated!  Trying to pick up some part time work.
Vet tech/transcriptionist
That's interesting...I used to be a vet tech in the '80s and got tired of not being able to explain to the animals why I was causing pain. I also like more focused work. Loved radiology so now radiology Transcriptionist for 15 years. So you and I had flip-flopped career paths...good luck on this new endeavor as a veterinary assistant.

Histology Tech Job

Does anybody know anything about this job, i.e., ins and outs, good and bad, know anyone who has done it, etc?  I am trying to find a "better way" than MT but no clue as to which direction to go.  I also wondered about surgical scrub tech job.  Willing to do a 1-year certificate school but don't know about 2 years of school.  Any info would be much appreciated.  Thanks.


A4 Tech keyboards

Hi, I just ordered one of these keyboards.  Supposedly they will increase  your production and had really great reviews.  I ordered the 2680RP model which is wireless keyboard and mouse.  Just wondering if anyone else has used these and what they thought.  Mine is supposed to be here today.  Can't wait to try it out.  Any info about them would be really appreciated. 


 


 


Need tech help with DocQScribe

I just started working for a service that uses DocQScribe and for another service as well and use the same foot pedal for both.  However, I noticed that when I log into DocQScribe and start to play the dictation file, it will start to play and then suddenly jump back to the beginning of the dictation.  The footpedal that I currently use is an Infinity IN-USB-1.  Or is DocQScribe the type of program that tends to conflict with other programs?


TIA


phlebotomy & ekg tech

HI i live in NJ and i am taking a course to become a certified ekg tech and phlebotomist i was just wondering if any one knows about what the salary for this position is and how in demand it is. Also do u need any other educational requirements?


Thanks


EKG tech and phlebotomist?
Is that one training program and one job? I've never heard of the two going together. Unless you are dealing with dye/contrast or adenosine infusions but then those are usually IV and I don't think phlebotomists do IVs, at least not here in the NW.
