You might have to do a system restore to the time before she sent file. Vista is still too buggy
s
Yes, it will get buggy like that as you fill it up with entries sm
It's time to think of buying a real expander. My recommendation is Shorthand. They have a web site where you can purchase it. It is a wonderful program, much better than the autocorrect/autotext.
I'd go back to IE6. I had IE7 and it was extremely buggy especially with the platform for my emp
It froze up all the time. Would shut down and give me that annoyting "send error report" message and I finally said this is for the birds and went back to IE6. Personally, I don't see what was so great about IE7 versus 6, but then again I don't understand why Microsoft feels we need a new OS every other year!

Techs
When I worked for MQ on the new platform, it wouldn't connect. I called tech support and talked to a lady there. She asked me if my phone line was connected and I told her no, I had high-speed internet. She said "But is your phone line connected?" I told her again, no, I have cable. She said, and I am not kidding, "Do you have an adapter to connect your cable to the phone line?" Where do they get these people?
mammo techs
As much as you wish the tech would give you a hint, really you shouldn't take their word. These mammograms will be glanced at by the radiologists before you leave to be sure that they can SEE all the areas that they will need to study; however, they will be *reading* the mammo after you are gone (unless you are an extremely slow dresser LOL). The radiologists I worked for took their time and used magnifying glasses and really looked these things over. So I really doubt the tech is going to be able to give you any kind of reassurance.
If I were you I would just stress to the tech that you hope you can hear something ASAP. Maybe she'll relay that to the radiologist.
Good luck, I hope the lump is just a cyst or fibrous tissue. Keep us posted.
Pharm techs
Here's a link to the Bureau of Labor Statistics explaining what pharm techs do and the salary. (Note that it says some of their duties will be replaced by automated prescription-filling machines. LOL! It sees no one is immune!)

For comparison, see the salary surveys for coders at www.aapc.com and www.advanceforhim.com.
LOTS and LOTS of video tapes and DVDs.

Did the techs say why? And do whole op notes really fit in the expander? nm

Don't think techs will tip you off, but a word of caution - (sm)
Don't get scared needlessly if they want to "redo" any of the films. That happened to me once, and the tech left the film up on the board where I was waiting and I saw this huge spot of light and I was absolutely sick worrying about it until I heard from my doctor. It was normal, and several times since then they have have to "redo" some of the films. Try not to worry, and be glad that you have doctors who ARE cautious and speed things through.
scary echo techs
doc says "However, the patient was terminated by technician who felt the patient was becoming diaphoretic and having his symptomatology associated with shortness of breath."
scribe types "However, the study was terminated by the technician who felt the patient was becoming diaphoretic and having symptoms associated with shortness of breath."
Good luck with the techs
I emailed a question last thursday and still haven't heard back. Time to look elsewhere. Their platform is horrible.
So tired of these support-less techs at companies.
same ole answer- I don't know, not my job. What is their job? I can't work, I don't get answers, and it is their software. First answer when I call the office is call support services. Call support service and they say it is not their job. Who it the sam $ell's job is it? I can't work.
Guess these wonderful techs don't know that without us they have no job and it is possible to work without fancy programs with off the shelf software.
I was told firmly by the Monrovia techs I had to have an XP computer for DQS, and that

Ask the techs where you work. Probably software issue with their program. nm

Is there a college in your area that offers training for x-ray techs?
If so, go to the college bookstore and check out the textbooks they have for the x-ray tech courses. There should be lots of good information there.
If you have any anatomy books, study them, not just the major bones, but the landmarks on the bones like the greater and lesser trochanter of the femur, tibial spines, things like that. Also study the muscles, tendons, and ligaments of the shoulders, wrists, knees, and ankles. MRIs cover a lot of that.
There are a lot of online anatomy sites if you don't have any books of your own, or you can check with your local library.
 Good luck! Radiology is a great field. I love it.
Emergency question for brilliant computers techs. sm
I just had a weird experience with my computer. The screen looked like it was shaking. I thought it was in Word at first, but the desktop was doing this also. It was like a wavy line was going down the screen, part of it would jump a little bit, then below it some more would jump. It was almost like a wave pattern to the side, I could see the edges of the screen moving in and out. I thought I saw this yesterday once or twice, but decided it was my eyes. It wasn't, this was definitely real. It lasted for approximately a minute. Is this something to worry about? TIA.
True! Computer techs are all foreign. Used to be a good-
still have a tech job are usuallyh IC's, with no job security and no benefits. Lots of computer and microchip manufacturing jobs, that spawned the 'Silicon Valley' in California have gone offshore. Now even radiologists have to worry about their jobs, as some places send the x-rays digitally to Philippines to be read.
What I'd like to know is.... What exactly is going to be LEFT in the United States for US to do? Gas station attendant? Nope... most are self-serve, unless you live in Oregon. Wal-Mart Greeter? Hmm... not old enough (or retired enough) for that. Farm worker? Nope. Mexicans have cornered that market. Waitress? Nope. Lots of eat-in restaurants going belly-up these days. Typesetter? Nope. Newspapers are going extinct. Web designer? Nope. Most people can design their own nowadays. Retail? Same as the restaurants. Teacher? Whoa - talk about an underpaid profession! Nurse? Another underpaid one. Not a good choice for us work-at-home recluses. Truck driver? One of the few jobs where they need people, but to make ends meet these days you have to pretty much live in your truck. Flight attendant? Not a good choice for us recluses who hate to fly. Rap artist? Pretty saturated field. Hair stylist? I don't even comb my OWN hair most of the time, and haven't cut it in years. So I'd be pretty useless unless someone with long hair wanted a French braid. Chef or short-order cook? Not if you only cook TV dinners. (Does that count as cooking?) Dog-walker? Nah - I'm a cat-person. Bike-messenger? In my town, most of em don't live very long. You never see middle-aged bike messengers. Taxi-driver? Nope - the Sikhs have cornered that market. Executive secretary? (What? Go back to wearing heels and pantyhose? NEVER!)

Exactly! Because you got familiar with VR....
It is difficult to switch from stRaight to editing, Back an forth, back and forth, this is so TRUE!
And all the various accounts with the different clients' specifics.
Not familiar with a dropdown box . . .
Are you referring to F9 to get line count?
If you are familiar with this forum at all
then you should have enough insight to realize that posting such vague information without any shred of credibility will get you a less-than-desired response.
Either way, even if it IS true - what kind of friend shares such an important secret? What kind of employee leaks information?
Hmm...sounds familiar sm
Is this company out of Texas, perhaps.
Sounds familiar.
Feast or famine.
sounds familiar
I'm drowning in paper. I have piles everywhere, including my bedroom floor and dresser. I used to be very organized and couldn't stand clutter, I don't know what happened. I live with three other "messies", husband and two of three children. I think I just gave up. I usually can find things, but it bugs me a lot. Can't seem to get myself to clean it up. This has a psychological basis I'm sure. I'm not lazy, otherwise I keep a really neat, clean house. Stressed out maybe the reason, just don't know where to start first when I do have some time to myself. It's always something.
sounds so familiar!!
I guess most office atmospheres are like that...it sounds so similar to what I had worked with until I went home...and boy am I glad I did!!! I am a social person, but absolutely do not miss the office crud!!! Now I have been doing home repairs and "fixing" up my new "office" as well as getting out a couple of nights a week. Also spending more time focusing on my needs, i.e. pampering myself more!
We are attracted to what is familiar to us
Womanizers, alcoholics, workaholics, rage-aholics...if our dad was one, there seems to be a good chance we find ourselves married to a replica of him. At 48, I decided just to be alone as every man I found myself with was a psycholoanalysts' worst nightmare (these men rarely seek help and rarely change in my observation).
Anyone familiar with FTP Navigator?
I downloaded version 7.0 but now what? I got the files I wanted but they open in notepad. Is this right? Are they now in my PC and can I view them in a word processing program? Thanks.
Not familiar with SIM message, however,
I have found that if I am persistent and patient with their customer service line, eventually I will get through and get an answer to my question/problem. There is a yahoo group for tracfone users and I have found them to be very helpful also, especially with codes for more minutes, etc. Someone there is probaby familiar with that SIM message. Hope this helps.
Websense - anyone familiar with?
Something called Websense has decided it is my own personal internet sentinel and blocks various websites. I don't know who/what this is and I have not authorized it to do so. Anyone know anything about it? How to get rid of it or shut it off?
Sorry.. I am not familiar w/ExText
Thought maybe it had its own shortcut program. 
Also, not familiar w/ Vonage, but ..sm
If there is any kind of option for pulse vs. tone dialing. If Vonage is set up for pulse dialing, it might be that the station isn't recognizing the ID # when you enter it. That's a longshot, since most are now all set to tone by default, but it's an idea.
Anyone familiar with Olympus DS-30?
I need to find digital recorders for a few doctors. I am looking at the DS 30, but want to make sure its a decent recorder, but don't want to spend too much $$. They want to email me the digital files--so I was wondering if this recorder is pretty easy to use/set up?
Thanks for any info
Sounds familiar...
There's that 7 years again, me too. Would agree with much you say. Are you elsewhere now and do you like it?
Thanks for the info! So is anyone familiar with... SM
VoIP companies called Phone Power or ITP? I've decided against Magic Jack because of the problems. I did some research and found the two above companies were pretty reasonable or maybe I should just stick with Vonage?
MRT Services - anyone familiar with them?
Anyone ever heard of MRT Services? I saw them online. Please provide feedback.
Sounds familiar only.....
once in a while if I fall asleep watching TV, I dream I'm trying to transcribe everything that's being said. Only problem with that....you can't backspace or fast forward. Now that's frustrating!
Uh oh! Sounds familiar. I have an 11yo too. sm
She is my 4th out of 4 and, believe me, times have really changed over the years.
Some of these 5th grade girls come to class all made up, tight jeans, etc., and their parents ALLOW it! One of my daughter's classmates has cable TV in her bedroom and can watch MTV and horror movies, etc. AND she has her own cell phone! That's just plain nuts.
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but when I hear, "well Susie gets to do this and that," I say, "You're not Susie and you know the rules." Sure she'll experiment. My older kids did, but they knew in their hearts I didn't approve.
One thing I did do was yank the cable. Oh pity, too bad, you don't get to watch garbage on TV now do you? I'm such a MEAN MOMMY. 
My 23-year-old daughter pulled a ton of stuff on me growing up and now she's a mom. You should hear her talk about setting curfews, etc. I'm like, "Uh, you have a good 6 months before potty training yet."
the tone of your post is so familiar

Sounds familiar. I have a friend with a son who is now
a year behind where he should be because they fell for some private school cock and bull story about how he wasn't ready for kindergarten (the school was ready, however, to milk her for another year of preschool, I'm quite sure).

SOS-familiar w/Cphone DA-127D?
It's crunch time - I am using TranscriptionGear Model DA-127D for first time (replacement after demise of Dictaphone C-phone) and do not have instruction manual. I've navigated through a report and need help with the following: Everytime I take my foot off the pedal, I get the recorded "To sign off you must be at the end of the report." Then, when I actually got to the end of the report, it signed off automatically with the foot pedal. I must sign reports off manually on this acct. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
