Do-gooder parents offering a home repair job to a loser they found sleeping out on the road or something. Can people really be this stupid?

    Did you hear Natalee called her dad at midnight and tell him she was being kidnapped?

    yet, but listen and see if this pans out to be the "phone call" Beth referred to in the interview with Charlie Croes.

    There was a report out of Dallas how a family took in evacuees and the daughter was raped by one of

    I'm left handed, guess that makes me dyslectic, so I used to type "patient was raped and prepp
    also....wayyyyy back in the late 60's and early 70's when I actually worked in a doctor's office or hospital, if patient's name was Norman, 75% of the time I typed Normal.  What is really funny....my father's name was Norman Hassell...can you imagine anyone being a "normal hassell"?  Even funnier still, my mother named me Joy....so guess you can say I'm a "happy hassell"!! and a lefty at the same time; people tend to steer clear of me!!!  Have a good day.  Big huge storm moving across our little island right now; got to shut down and unplug everything.  
    Elizabeth...sm
    please don't misunderstand what I am saying...yes I agree, it is very frustrating changing sup's (TC) all the time.  Believe me, I've been w/MQ for over 4 years and have had at least six TCs!!! But, not once have I been personally contacted, e-mail or otherwise, by one of them.  I always take it upon myself to just send a quick hello to the new TC, introduce myself, etc.  Think of it this way, they have a couple hundred or so MTs to worry about, we only have one TC...just a thought! Anyways, enough about this subject...don't wanna ruffle any feathers! Have a wonderful day! 
    Way to go Elizabeth
    :-)

    You are so right.  I am wasting time and energy ruminating on this thing. I am just so frustrated.  I honestly think I need to find another position, even though I hate leaving a place I have been at for 14-plus years.  My husband and I sat down last night and had a good talk, and I have had a buttload of health problems since working for this place.  What is funny, it is a mental health facility!  Many of the employees and myself get a chuckle out of this, because the therapists/psychiatrists are always referring people for stress management, etc., and we are some of the most stressed people in the whole county.  I am going to start looking!

    my vote would be for Elizabeth
    Vargas, the journalist. I know she has a job and is due to have a baby, but I think she would be a classy addition.


    Thank You Sandy and Elizabeth - you are great!
    thank you so much for taking the time to help me. Happy Holidays!
    elizabeth, i'm with you 100% on this one. i don't know poster is but sounds like MQ manager.
    Very telling as to how we are viewed by MQ is it not?
    Betsy - used to be my name till I legally changed to Elizabeth.

    No need to be smart with him. He's got my
    respect for having earned his degree, whether or not he's working in that field and for whatever reason.


    Not because they are smart...because they
    IQ was never the issue!
    If they are smart and get out ;)

    We are just so smart... sm

    and great at what we do that we need a challenge once in a while.  No, switching professions is not the answer if your desire is to stay at home.  I have found that helping each other through these message boards has been quite invigorating, and to know that I am not alone in my endeavors is quite reassuring, I must say! 


    Smart Gal!
    Yes, this is the only job I believe where the salary goes down in time instead of up. You are smart to find another career. I have been in this line of work over 20 years and only wish I had made another move early on. Good luck to you.
    You are one smart person,
    this, Soft Script would go out of business!!! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.
    Smart Young Man

    Your son sounds like a very smart young man. Not many kids these days truly care about their education. They look at high school as a party/social time, and dont look into the future what so ever, and said thing is a lot of our children are not getting the guidance from home either.


    My son loves to learn and loves to be challenged and with him being home schooled we are able to do so.


    And one other positive note on home schooling college intrance exams have shown that home schooled kids are just as smart if not smarter than those who go to public or private schools. The one on one they get is a big big factor in that.


    Best of Luck!!!!!!!


    work smart - -
    You must be an IC. Yes?? Is that where "it's" at?

    That's a smart post.
    I like how you think. Very good.

    Their pay is pretty good.  Bennies pretty good.  Platform not so good.  Tech support leaves much to be desired.

    Transcriptionists are smart!
    I had a doctor say to his "residents" that they should do transcription because I was answering all of the questions they could not, just because I've transcribed for so many years!  That was kind of a nice feeling, if I do say so myself!  So... maybe we could all be doctors some day! 
    smart move. JMO

    You're smart to do that.
    You must feel much less bored and isolated by getting out into the real world and taking part in something more involved-feeling.


    Really Smart Docs
    From OB ultrasound report: "The fetus is single."

    Good for that fetus! No fetus should marry before being born.
    that's pretty smart.
    will have to remember that.
    Smart Type
    You are better off just using one Expander at a time. There are things that ST will do that IT will not and vise versa. It is a matter of figuring out what is best for your needs.

    You are welcome to email me and I can answer more specific questions for you.
    You are 1 smart cookie
    No matter what your age, you have done all the right things in order to have things go smoothly and be a productive worker at home. I like your way of doing things!
    Is this legal or just not very smart? (sm)
    I have a cardiologist who dictates from a template.  Even if he does not mention things from the template, they are to be left in (negatives and positives).  This includes in the PE a respiratory rate of 12.  He never mentions it, but I have been told to leave it in.  The odds of every patient he sees having a respiratory rate of 12 are pretty astronomical, and I think a lawyer could have fun with this if pressed.  My supervisor agrees but feels we should give the client what they want. 
    Not too smart a question
    I am sure, but I am totally new to digital transcription, as I have always used tapes.  I have a service I am wanting to test with who sent me a voice file.  I am using Express Scribe.  The file is an .exe file, and I cannot get Express Scribe to accept it.  What am I doing wrong?
    Smart Type with
    MedRite-XL ... what would the benefits of using Smart Type rather than the MedRite expander?  Need to to anything I can to get faster.
    It is smart to have 2 jobs if you can - sm
    I have 2 IC jobs, though I don't work at the 1 much anymore (just weekends if I am not too busy); I have more accounts now with the 1 job (didn't have enough work like you before) though stilll not making quite what I want but slowly creeping up to my goal. I have the other IC job to fall back on if needed which is nice to know. I also have 1 account of my own and am about to seek some more out, so maybe I can reach my personal goal. But is it smart to have 2 jobs since if one dries up or they lose the account you are on then you still have income coming in.
    smart gloves
    Love the smart gloves. they have sort of a bean bag on the palm and do not restrict your typing at all.
    Smart expander?
    Does anyone know of a "smart" expander? One that remembers what you type and makes expansions for you? I think someone said Instant Text does but I'm not sure. Maybe there isn't one? Just wondering!

    TIA!
    As smart as doctors are, WHY
    don't they have sense enough not to dictate on cell phones & speakerphones?!  They dictate punctuation & spelling to make sure their report is perfect, but then dictate it on a cell phone cutting in and out?!

    Smart MT. Tapes or internet? SM

    Hello


    I am currently an IC and I have 2 physicians.  I want to use the internet to transfer files.  I am currently using tapes.  Any insight as to how do this safely, quickly, and cost effectively would be greatly appreciated.  Oh, I am stuck using dial up.   Also, how much do you charge?

    Smart Gloves. Google them. They are the best!

    You're not horrible - just smart
    Your time is money, all the time you spent researching, designing, printing and distributing your flier was all time you spent and money out of your pocket.  Just because others may not want to do the hard work for themselves, doesn't obligate you to give away yours.  It is a business and you made a business decision.  You know pretty well that there are those who would try to short cut and just change your information for theirs.  Stick to your guns!

    I thought I was being so smart last year m
    by buying  a space heater for my office.  I thought it'd keep me warm during the day (I'm naturally pretty cold) and I could still dial down and save on fuel oil.  Well, I did those things, BUT our electric bill jumped about $50/month because of the space heater.  At first I couldn't figure out why it had gone up so much.  It was up more than the 40%+ that the electric company raised their rates.  They told me to turn off all appliances and then turn them on one by one and watch the meter.  THe meter didn't really increase at all from it's slow turn for any appliance until I turned on the tiny space heater I used and it started spinning like crazy.  Turns out that heater was the cause of the increase in the bill.  So just a warning about that.  Others may know of heaters than don't pull that kind of juice.  If you do, please post! 
    ha! smart gal! good luck! nm
