You will also sometimes find a combination...

In Reply to: Please help with - basic information question

There are accounts where you do the clinic notes (for office visits - H&Ps and consults) and also the acute care reports for that same doctor/doctors when they perform surgery or another in-hospital procedure.  Then you'll have the operative report as well as the discharge summary.  I love these accounts, as you follow the patient from initial diagnosis (sometimes after several office visits), through their hospital course, and then back to the office for followup. 


As far as knowing what type of work a company has - ask.  That is the best way to find out.

A combination of both, but mostly A
People who have been dependent on the government their who life have never had anything expected of them but to take, take, take.

They then expect the government to take care of them and it's never enough.

They teach their kids to expect the government to take care of them.

None of these people have ever had to be resourceful, ambitious or develop any life-maintaining skills.

So it goes on and on and on.

The bottom line is this:

People will be what's expected of them. If nothing is ever expected of them that's what they become.

Somewhere along the line society was given some kind of responsibility for taking care of people who refuse to even try. I have no problem with the gov't helping out someone who has lost her job, got divorced, has an unexpected crisis, but most of these people have been on some kind of program for generations and just expect it with no intention of ever supporting themselves, and even worse, they reproduce like rabbits because there are no repercussions for the irresponsible behavior.

I think its a combination of things, I myself would
That consistently runs out of work, because I have nothing to fall back on.  Maybe these ladies have a husband who can pick up the slack, so they are not so worried.  Also its a pain in the butt to post your resume and start all over with a new company, new dictators, and not to mention you don't know what you're getting paid until youre actually signed on and let go from your other job.  Whats up with that?  Why don't they ever post the actual salary like other lines of work?  They at least say "start out at 30,000k per year" or something similar.  Its a big mystery what your paycheck will be and thats a nail biter in itself.

Most hospitals have their own chemo cocktails for mouth sores but most consist of Mylanta/ Maalox, Benadryl and lidocaine or xylocaine anything to numb the soreness of the ulcers.
That's a great combination!
When using weights, even light ones, remember that technique is very important. Move the weights slowly with no momentum. Don't let wrists flop. They should be rigid and slightly curled in.
There may be a combination of both. I nearly flunked

typing in junior high and I can't believe I make my living typing.  I know it is more than typing, but ....   I had no MT training, no MT education, just kind of fell into it.  My very first day I did 667 lines.  I wasn't working in an office but in the MTSO's home office.  I didn't have an Expander at the time.  Now many years later (18) I can do 2700 lines/day on a good day, but 1800 to 2200 is my norm.   My typing speed increased, plus my terminology has increased so I'm not looking up a lot of stuff.  Between the 2 it has allowed me to increase my  lines. 


You really can't compare what you do to others because there are lots of factors.   How they count lines, the difficulty of the dictation, the platform, etc.  


 


 


How about a combination of both approaches? SM
I've been using an Expander almost as long as the first primitive little DOS-based one became available. So of course, with no Mary Morkens or anything else out there, I started out building my entire system from scratch to suit myself. And I definitely believe it works for me much better than an imported system could.

However, ultimately it took a tremendous investment of time, and it's the only one like it in the world. If I ever lost it, I might just leave the field and start selling plants from my garden on e-bay or something.

A lot of people who work in offices will some morning come in and be greeted by the information that they've been laid off and a security officer assigned to make sure they don't mess with the computer. Will they have a copy of their dictionary at home or lose everything?

Losing a dictionary built on a standard system, then personalized and built up further would be hard but not crippling. And as pointed out, no need to reinvent the wheel...totally from scratch anyway.
I'd say a combination of B and C. House may be miserable, but after

No but sounds like a deadly combination. nm

also incompatible with Stedman Smartype (Word 2003 made a change that conflicts with Smartype, not a Smartype issue). Earlier versions of Word do not have this conflict.
What if you brought on a combination MT/QA person, and - sm
you each transcribed, and then each checked the other's work? QA would go faster, more transcription could be done, and you'd sort of be killing 2 birds with one stone, while still being able to remain a small, high-quality service.
It has to be a combination of talent for this work and SM
platform/work count. I have the talent and my production initially was excellent but then my income kept going down, and dowm, without any discernible cause. The difference was in how production was being counted on the other side of the computer screen. Fine, if it's fair and we understand why, but we weren't being told even that the decreases were occurring, much less why. Someone the ability to put out good work but without that initial earnings experience might think it was only him or her.
What would be ideal is a combination of the ErgoMagic
keyboard that can be angled PLUS that touch pad. hmmmmm

I'll definitely post if I find one that works for me.

get over-tired I'll have more problems with palpitations than when I'm well rested.  I also have them more if I've been taking in more caffeine.  While these palpitations are harmless they are annoying, aren't they?


So find a new job already
It's your own fault if you stay and put up with it.  Complaining doesnt change a thing. Find a new job, we have all done it! 
Did they say why? Did you ask? Did you go find another job?

Got me, but when you find out
please let me know too. I've had that in the past and it's freaky. The phone company couldn't even tell me where they came from!
find it odd??
There are many countries world-wide including Cuba and Iran that have offered help.  Many celebs have pledged millions too.
Can't find out anything.
If I hear "Corporate says" one more time, my head will explode. It's like they lost the ability to think on their own and are robots. makes me mad

Hey - Tell me what you find out! THX!
no message
How did you find this out? sm
Was there a story on the Web or do you know a Phillips executive or what?  Just curious.
I FIND IT
THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU ARE PROBABLY OLD AND MENNONITE AND ARE JUST A DOWN RIGHT MISERABLE PERSON.........GO AND CRAWL BACK INTO YOUR HOLE YOU BIG OL' GRUMP!
Maybe you should find something else right now
and if you're unhappy with what comes up in October, then you'll be up and running with another option?

Hey, how about YOU find something better
You are a psycho b***ch!! GET OFF THIS BOARD!!
can someone tell me where to find

other listings for MT jobs besides this site and mtjobs.com?  i'd even be interested in things outside of mt as long as i can do it from home.....need to change to something better soon - like yesterday!


 TIA!


I got into this because I could not find a job elsewhere. sm
And I found I was good at it, but I have always wanted out, though I have been here 25 years (needs of the family outweighed my "wants").

I think in my next life I want to be a government assassin or something like that.
Where do you find a job like that?

Who says she HAS to find another man?

I firmly believe that the girl doesn't have to get the guy at the end in order for there to be a happy ending. 


Her husband can still be a good dad to his daughter without the two of them being married.  If she is unhappy and the situation isn't good for her other child, she should seriously consider leaving.  Just my opinion.


Once you find it...

Even after you find it, you will pay $25 to have the entries added to SpeedType - AND after already paying nearly $200 for the program.  I found that ridiculous.  The included instructions for adding the entries yourself do not work, so you are rather forced to have them do it for you.  Personally, I think that is a bit of a rip off.  I still have SpeedType sitting here unused, because I told them the fee was just not right, and they should include instructions that work! 


Gosh, that didn't help much. 


 


 


how do i find one of those?

oh well, just some of them need to find...N/M

IF they really have to, then they should find
a humane way to do it. I have a feeling though that it wasn't something that was necessary to begin with.

Also, because it was mentioned, even animals raised for food consumption have feelings, are smart, etc. In my eyes, a cow is no different than a dog....it's just what everyone has been raised as acceptable.

If any animals have to die though, it needs to be done humanely. If you want to see some things that are barbaric, go visit a slaughter house, a chicken farm or fur farm right here in our own country. We are no different. We are just not running around in the streets with clubs in our hands.
Thanks. I will try to find it!

What you find out-
Please let me know what you find out from your CPA.  I need to make an appointment with an attorney before I decide anything else.  Makes me wonder what this world is coming to.  We have legitimate deductions.  It is not like we get cash for our work (at least I do not).  We get a 1099 every dang year.
Trying to find...
A good recipe for hashbrown casserole.  The hospital where I used to work made a delicious kind and I'm gonna **try** to reproduce it! :)
Is there any way you can find out
what make and model you liked at your in-house job? I bought 3 different EXPENSIVE chairs that seemed to have the same features as a chair I loved, but none of them had what one favorite chair did for me. Finally I got a job that happened to have the same chair, and it actually belonged to another Transcriptionist in the office. I bought it from her because this chair hasn't been made since the 1990s. It's a Herman Miller, looks like ER200 or EP200, but what it does for me is take the weight off my ischial tuberosities AND conform to my lower back. While this chair did have a lot of enthusiasts in offices I've worked, others have other favorites. The best test is actually using a chair for 2 weeks, unfortunately.
Did you find one?

But when they find out you know
I have found my doctors will talk with me in their language, not breaking it down so with lay person. Go to the same ones,not a problem there. I have found the providers usually read what kind of work you do and start off asking you about your profession. Years ago before the physician diagnosed me with hypothyroidism, I told him what was the problem, had all the classic symptoms, asked him to check TSH, T3 and T4. He said needed physical done and yet he forgot to order tests. I returned, no tests. I said that was the issue in the first place- needless to say when the tests came back immediately referred to endo as tests way over the top for the norm. If I had not done this type of work, if had not known symptoms, might have suffered longer than I did. I also told a relative one time to ask their doctor for an appetite stimulant, wrote down the name and their appetite came back whereas before skin and bones type appearance with their inability to eat. This knowledge has paid off for me sometimes.
s/l you need to find a job outside of MT. If your CTS
has become an issue and surgery isn't an option (I'm assuming since you don't have insurance you aren't considering it) it doesn't seem like a company change would help, sounds more like you just need a job change.   Maybe part of the depression is you have come too isolated too, so getting a "real" job would help there also. 
Oh please! If you don't like your job, find another one. nm

What's the good of working at home if you are tied to a schedule? Look through Job seeker's board. Plenty of choices there. Do not be afraid to go with a smaller company. Bigger does not mean better.
