Sheri, Just made a donation.  While the offer of sending the software was a very nice gesture, you do not need to send me anything.  Have a very Merry Christmas.  Renee
Donation
I am heartened by the quick response of so many to donate to this cause, but I am also dishearted by so much skepticism out there at this situation. I am a skeptic too, but if someone needs help, we should all be more than willing to help out. What if it was you or your kids?? Would you want skepticism to keep your kids from having at least a little something under the tree? Follow your hearts, not your egos from having had a bad experience or two in life. We all have had those. Merry Christmas to all who have contributed so far! and to those who still will. :^) Kathy S.
BOL! ... Put me down for a donation ... ;-)

Equipment Donation
Does anyone know of a tax charity to donate Lanier transcription equipment?
donation is voluntary...I did not pay either. nm

do you think there will be some type of donation drive?
the post office usually sets up spots for donations, or lets you leave items for them to pick up. my heart was so moved when they did this in our area for the tsunami victims, and driving around seeing all the bags of donated goods made me almost cry.

something I noticed was that mostly the lower to middle class (still exist?) left items. their neighborhoods were full of bags of goods at their mailboxes for the tsunami victims.
Cards that say donation to charity sm
St. Jude's Children Hospital has them, it reads that a gift to the hospital has been given to the hospital in their honor. Very nice, not too personal and no hint that some return gift is expected.
Besides, that donation is squarely out of MTs' pockets. I haven't had a raise in the 3 years

People have no patience anymore. I gave a $10.00 donation and I got an email the next evening.

I think since these people also have a transcription service, no one should expect an instant response.  Besides, it's more about giving than getting anyway. 


Care to share the charity that doesn't pester after receiving a donation? x

Santa
The Santa's wife had written a book a few years before about a little girl who was killed and found in her basement. I have always suspected him.

Santa Barbara?!

Santa's House
Is anyone else getting an error message when trying to make a donation to Santa's House?  I have been getting an error page since yesterday evening.
LOL. Yep, like the Chirstmas Santa

Too funny.  I think she just wants attention and this is not the place.  I'm sorry for her situation and glad she has done something about it, but really...enough already.  Sheesh! 


She needs to learn to make some decisions on her own.  She says she is supposed to type 500 lines per day on her job....she types that many lines here on MTStars per day...telling everybody her personal business and wanting folks to feel sorry for her.


who was the Santa Claus?

Santa house?
I must be dense or blind or something, but I see nothing about a Santa house - only how many days and seconds until Christmas - and nothing to the left of it that says to post a new message. Am I supposed to see that at the top of this thread, or at the top of the main board - doesn't matter, I can't see it either place!
Secret Santa?

Is the link on this page the right link to enter? 


Thanks MTStars and Santa!
What a wonderful and fun thing you provide for us MTs.  Indeed, it is we who should be thanking you for the opportunity to come to this board and network with fellow MTs throughout the year.  I am very grateful that you are here in spite of all the grinches who try to ruin it for the rest of us all year long.  Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness and care in giving us this respite from our difficult jobs and stressful holiday season.  It is MUCH appreciated by most of us!  God bless and Merry Christmas to all of you who do the hard work of monitoring and providing this outlet for us all.
MT Stars IS Santa! sm
I love this board and gain so much from it, I cannot imagine how anyone can find fault with anything on here. Just refund their money if they don't like it!
Santa Monica
I live in Santa Monica. Although I am not in Ventura County, I would be interested to hear what you have to offer.
Which ones pull in the green?

Which ones are you gals/guys transcribing that you are able to do 200-300/hour?  I have condensed it down to ops and maybe radiology.  What are the most awesome expansion accounts in your opinion-copy and paste if you will!! 


Is there anybody transcribing this amount of lines on acute or multi specialty?  Specialty, a single specialty, I could believe.  Ops I can believe.  Haven't done rad so don't know.  What are the best "COPY AND PASTE" situations you know of? 


I donated, but did not get to pull from
Santas bag
I would use Pull Ups in his case, to take away...
the notion that he needs "diapers" since he is trained during the day and you don't want him to feel like he's a baby.  My DD used Pull Ups, then those big Pull Ups that are just white and made for bedwetters, and when she grew out of those we used DDAVP spray, which worked the first night. 
How do I pull up autorecover to see if it is in there?

Do you pull from the queue when you want?

So you go into the queue and grab what is at the top at that time. So if you do not feel like working one day or that morning you don't have to pull from the queue?


I need to work at a place that is flexible that I can get work when I am able to.


 


Thanks


I bet you are about to pull your hair out with this
mess, aren't you? I do voice also and keep trying to tell people MTers are not ready to be replaced with this because I, like you, see this all too much.
You can pull up like you are lifting a
weight and also pull outward like you are working on shoulder muscles and pecs (typical gym exercise). Do about 8 reps (or more)of each every hour. Exercising these muscles is cumulative but the important thing is to be consistent, i.e. every day. It's so easy to forget for a couple of days and then the pain returns. Being MTs we need to be mindful of our bodies. Our minds are always getting a workout but our bodies seem to suffer. We need to be warriors of mind and body to be balanced and then our performance and productivity improves also.
Thanks! I am close to Santa Barbara and will go there.
Will keep you posted. It will take six months to save up the money. The clinic in Santa Barbara is well known.

I left the information you needed as a reply to your post below previous post.
Found Santa - no posting box.
I got to a new board I hadn't reached before - and there was the Santa house. I still don't find any box about posting, though. I'll keep searching. Ithas to be there somewhere!
Someone is not in the holiday spirit. Santa won't like that.

Secret Santa Question
Is the secret post usually on the Main board or one of the ones above the ------------ line?  I tried searching this morning, but don't have time to puruse all of the different boards.  I was just wondering if you could narrow it down a bit.  It's okay if you can't just thought I'd ask.  Thanks!
Santa paws - I love that! Thank you.

Sometimes you can pull them up in the expander but not print from there.

done when leaves pull out easy...sm

takes about 30-45 minutes depending on if you're using gas versus electric!!  *S*


Parmesan sounds good too to the other poster!! 


Oh, and one more thing: MTs who don't pull their weight and
I work and I want my team to work hard as well.

Gonna pull my hair out!

I am currently working on a 20 minute dictation with an ESL who talks like a 3-year-old.  I can't even figure out where she might be from.  Words like....tweatment, twying, reawy, downwite, etc.  Plus, there is about a 2 second pause between every word!!!!!


The real kicker is that she is dictating this for another doc who I know for a fact speaks perfect English.


Sometimes I just wanna cry!!


Pull your spf files off the CD onto the desktop. sm
Now go to My Computer, look at Programs, open the ShortHand folder, open the smaller SH8 folder. Now, drag your spf files into that. Close all of that.

Now open the shorthand program like you are going to use it. Go to File at the top, open, and you will see your spf files. open the one you want to use, or any. each time you open one, there will be tab at the bottom to choose which one you want to use.
I agree . . . if you can pull that job home,
that would be your best bet.
Pull Down "View" on Toolbar.
Then hit Zoom.
Funny how they expect you to pull a
freakin rabbit out of a hat?! I'd love to say, "I don't do magic lady!"
Now watch me pull a rabbit
"MTIA strongly supports the development of a credentialed workforce."

And in case you were wondering who was going to be the certifying body...

ta DA! They have their very own handy-dandy organization right on hand to provide the test! AHDI!

But wait! Not only are they on hand, they have the EXACT same address as MTIA!

Oh, & in case you were wondering who was going to pay for all this, "MTIA acknowledges that there is a measurable cost associated with preparing for, obtaining, and maintaining the professional credentials referenced here. It is important to note that the Association is not including in this recommendation the mandate or suggestion that the responsibility for those costs be shouldered, at all or in part, by the transcription service organization/employer.

So let's see. They force MTs to become CMTs by pushing so hard for it in the industry that it becomes impossible to work without it. Next, they make the MTs pay for the certification themselves even though their facilitation of offshoring has driven wages down so far that it's hard to make a living. Finally, the fees for this certification go to an organization with an address identical to theirs...

how do you spell c-l-a-s-s a-c-t-i-o-n??
