Walking will not only improve your physical health
Posted By: My 2 cents on 2005-08-31
In Reply to: How's your gas prices today? Ours $2.95 and climbing. - Shall we all start walking?
but probably your mental health too. You'll get fresh air, take time to smell the roses, meet your neighbors, etc.
Unfortunately I live in the county and we are 8+ miles from anything.

Why VR can not improve.....
You write...
'... And of course VR cannot do the difficult ESLs ...'
The problem is that ESL do use VR and this results in reports full of mistakes.
Put an excellent dictator on VR and the report that VR produces will be good, except maybe for the punctuation.
If only good dictators are allowed to use VR, the good dictations will go to VR and will be done fast by the MTs, and bad dictations will stay on standard transcription, for the experienced MTs.
This is the trend. Inspite of everything VR is here to stay.
Only if bad dictators stay off VR, the system can improve.
I'm sure it will be a race to improve on it!
Thanks! Learned something new!
Did your speed improve?
Did you get faster with this or is it just more comfortable? How long did it take to get used to it?
Thanks for the info!
Your line count will improve
I am fairly new myself, but have worked for two different companies and found with both of them that - believe it or not! - even the ESL and slurry speakers will become more intelligible after time.
Sometimes I can't believe that I actually understand what they are saying.
You will see your line counts go us as you become more comfortable with the speakers and as you learn more shortcuts.
good luck to you!
Any idea on how to improve quality.
This could be a spin off on another post. I started with a national 3 weeks ago and they sent me a QA score of 95.5%. I need 98%. They did make a note there were no major patient care errors mostly minor errors in formatting and some omitted words. What passes at my regular FT job won't pass at the MTSO though. One of my errors is I forgot to put a period after q. I wrote q 4 hours. At my FT job that would have passed but MTSO wants q.4 h. It is stuff like that that brought my score down.  I like a challenge but gosh when I have already typed 1300 lines in-house then I have to come home and type some more at the MTSO. Not as easy as I thought.

I don't think the present Voice Systems will improve
I believe it is best not to name names, as others have pointed out in this message board. So, instead, I will simply post the job as listed on MTjobs.com and say that the same person is posting this job as when I was bilked. 'Nuff said.

You might need to report the problem to IT. They may be able to improve it, but I'm not positive
We use Winscribe wav player when we help out other offices, and at one of them the sound was not good. After I sent an e-mail to the IT guy it seemed like he may have improved it, but that's just a theory because he didn't tell me that. Good luck.
Oh, ouch! I hope things improve soon!
That's the very reason I've never took that plunge into independent...it's just so HARD for you guys. Hats off to you for all your hard work. Good luck.
MTSO wont tell dr to improve dictation. Too

Absolutely! Wonderful hobby and your skills will only improve.
I started knitting, quit for a year when I got discouraged because I couldn't fix my mistakes easily, then went back, determined to learn the craft. For me, what was wonderful was when I automatically could recognize what was right and wrong, and fix it easily. Now, I have more yarn than I could ever use, and more projects started than I'll ever finish. It's a lifetime hobby. There'll never be enough yarn.
Turning off Indexing will drastically improve speed.
Vista loads a ton of "services" that you won't ever use so turn those off as well. A Google search will give you exact instructions on the ones you don't need.
Walking
Your probably right, I need to get out of this chair and go outside and walk.
just walking away
I am not gonna sit here and aruge with a batch of idiots about wanting to stay home and raise my kids, and maybe try to make some money while I do that.
ROTFLMAO - NO! I would not be seen walking my cat in this - but then again
I don't buy my dog Christmas presents either. Year-round rawhides, but no Christmas, Valentines, etc. So you would never see me walking a kitty in a stroller!
Walking 30 minutes per day sm
with the dogs (all 160 pounds worth!) has my back and the leg cramps have nearly disappeared as well as the lower leg edema. I can actually sit longer now and don't need so much in the way of pain meds and no heating pad for the leg cramps. And other benefits too, lost 5 pounds, concentrate better, sleep better, fresh air.
let ur fingers do the walking
No....but I transcribed asleep once. I was working 3rd shift and dozed off. I don't know how I managed to work the foot pedal and my C-phone and go through several reports. Luckily for me I woke up and realized what I had done. I scrambled to put my last several reports on hold to check them before the doctor received them who was one hallway over. It scared me so bad I wasn't sleepy for the rest of the night. I've never let myself sit there that sleepy anymore either. I get up and walk around to get myself more alert. Funny thing was I was not transcribing what the doctor was saying. I was using some of their phrases. I guess I would hear a word and it would trigger my memory and I would type a regular phrase. Scared the bejeebers outta me that is for sure!
Keep walking. Best thing for you!
Get a pedometer, pick up the pace and the distance after a bit and keep it up. I lost 20 lbs. walking and I felt so much better.
Don't get discouraged. It might take a few months, but keep it up and you'll be happy you did.
And drink lots of water too.
Good luck!!!
You act like all women are walking wombs..SM
just existing until we do the greatest of all things, BEAR A CHILD. No thanks lady. You have 'em. I don't need to have a child to validate myself in the world.
Just some daily walking would probably shake it for you, too. nm

I met him walking around downtown shopping..sm
basically on the "street corner" waiting for the light to change to walk across the street. He just started talking to me...and now we are hitched.
You sound VERY down, which is why kids are walking all over you..
If mine don't do what is expected of them, they don't get what is expected of me. All 3 of mine know that if their clothes don't find their way into the laundry room, I don't wash them. If they don't bring their clean folded clothes up from the laundry each day, I bring it up and deliver it via "air mail" which means I carry them up and toss them 3 feet into the air and let them rain down onto the floor of their rooms. If they don't care, neither do I. They can let their rooms be pig pens all week long, but then they will spent hours cleaning it up on the weekend including changing sheets and vacuuming the carpet, OR, they can keep it neat, put some clean sheets on once a week, and be on their way. You gotta be stronger and tougher than them, otherwise they're walking all over you.
like walking into a room for something but forgetting what it was !
And I always thought the idea of walking the dog was for exercise! - nm

I would agree with the walking. And drink lots of
water.
I actually lost 20 lbs. after I started to work at home. No pastries, donuts, pies and candy in the break room anymore. :) And I've had time to walk and I drink water instead of tons of coffee with cream and sugar. Of course I still have my one cup in the morning so I won't yell at the kids. :)
Truth is, as an MT, I can't afford pastries or gourmet coffee. The water comes out of the faucet and the exercise membership, i.e. walking the dog around the neighborhood is free!
Worked for me. Give it a month. You'll not only lose the 10 lbs., you'll really feel great.
Oh, but I miss walking over the train tracks! sm
It's Christmas, my youngest is 21 and God how I miss stepping over the trains! He had to have a new one every year and I stepped over them all year long! Miss the kids when they were young! You guessed right, no grandkids yet and am patiently waiting.... I do have a granddog though and he comes over to play.....LOL
Watching CNN - New Orleans. See people walking through water (sm)
A thought comes to mind. I would be afraid to just walk around in the water. Isn't there a chance that either sharks or gators could have come inland with the water?

physical lines
If you are on DQS,the physical line (the line you see) in the text is not the 65-character line you are paid by. And the number of characters in that line can vary depending on how high/low you have your text zoom (smaller font would be more characters on a line and fewer with large font).
Your lines are calculated by dividing the amount of characters in a report by 65. It has nothing to do with the "line" you see on the report.
The best way to be sure DQS is counting your lines correctly is to import a report into a word processing program that counts characters, divide that amount by 65, and see if it matches your DQS count. I've done this and it is correct including spaces and the red headers.
Hope this is what you were asking and hope this helps :)
Did you get physical address??
Did you get the name of her company and the physical address? Phone number? There is a lesson to be learned here -- you still need to get all of this info in case something like this happens again. Unless you have a physical address you cannot send a demand letter with return receipt or serve her with papers or anything. Hopefully you do have that and can send her a written certified letter demanind payment within 10 days. Then onto small claims court. But none of this is possible without a physical address. Good luck. If you have her full name or business name and city -- you might be able to do a search to find a phone number. Did her check to you have a phone number on it? I always take a copy of the front of checks at least the first one so that I have their account number, etc. Also shows payment. Let us know how it comes out.
Physical Therapy
I have a physical therapist interested in me doing his transcription. It is a small office, they only work about 3 days a week, and I was wondering what to charge him per line? I currently work for an eye dr. making .11 a line and a service for .09. I may have to travel once a week to pick up tapes?(hope not) Any feedback is appreciated.
Start out with small amts of walking or even just marching in front of TV with a show on. Add

What?! You are WRONG? Physical Therapy - more than that.
Pharmacy - WAAAAY more than that. In fact, I don't think ANY of those pay $12 to $18 an hour. You really should open your eyes and look around.
DH would be outpatient, and then physical therapy.
He has decided not to have surgery, at least not now. He would be out of work 3 weeks without short-term disability and only 1 week of sick pay, plus he says we can't afford surgery. While that is true, if you need it, you need it. I think he's as much scared as anything. The only surgery he has ever had was a vasectomy under a local and he refuses to take anything stronger than Tylenol. He isn't hurting now, no swelling, etc. so it isn't like he is in daily pain. I've tried to talk him into the surgery because we've met our deductibles and while it isn't that much we would have to start over with that, but I can't make him do it.
Physical Therapy Transcripiton
Hello! I'm looking for any of you that are experienced as Physical Therapy transcriptionists. Can anyone give me a head's up about transcribing in this specialty? I've done psychiatric for the past five years and am pretty sure I'll get this position I've applied for at a local clinic. Any support, resources, etc. would be fantastic!
Thanks in advance to all,

yearly physical (joke)
I went to the doctor for my yearly physical. The nurse starts with certain basics.
How much do you weigh?" she asks.
"115," I say. The nurse puts me on the scale. It turns out my weight is 140.
The nurse asks, "Your height?" "5 foot 8," I say.
The nurse checks and sees that I only measure 5' 5".
She then takes my blood pressure and tells me it is very high.
"Of course it's high!" I scream, "When I came in here I was tall and slender! Now I'm short and fat!"
She put me on Prozac
Have you considered Physical Therapy?
Or occupational therapy? There is a great need for it, it helps people, and you generally don't kill anyone (grin). While it takes a master's degree to be a physical therapist, the assistant is a 2-year degree.
I have an application in to the physical therapy program at my university, and I'm a little nervous because I'll be turning 50 my next birthday. On the plus side, I won't have children surreptitiously sticking the cat into a Ziplock bag while I'm trying to study this time.
Need some physical therapy websites
Just got a call for transcription for 2 physical medicine doctors and 5 physical therapist and they want me there tomorrow. I'm looking for some websites for terminology/word list/samples that I can review. Thanks. Wish me luck. This is a temp to hire position both onsite and at home. Sounds good to me.
Gross physical line??
From what I have been told, a gross physical line is anything typed on a line, regardless if it's one letter or 65. My question is ... would 8 cpl on a gross physical line for acute care be good pay? How about 7 cpl on a gross physical line for emergency room reports? Thanks
Physical therapy website
Have been trying to find a good PT website. I Googled and did not find what I was looking for, which is a site that lists tests, like "cat and camel" and so forth.The sites I have found are not user friendly.

Any kind of intimacy emotional or physical
is being unfaithful. Put your effort into your best friend, who should be your mate, otherwise, what is the point? If you put your effort into someone else, of course you would be close.
Honestly, your heart knows what is right and wrong. Listen to it. Respect your relationships or expect to be disrespected yourself.
Physical therapy format needed...
I just started a new account which is typed in a form in Word. It is not very efficient. Can anyone suggest where I can find a basic format for transcribing physical therapy evaluations.
Thanks
Physical fitness exams DO NOT require
breast exams. We are required to have them for school before certain grades in our state, and never do they do breast or GYN exams on kids.
