In Reply to: Shortcuts to increase production - MT

www.activewords.com

It's like a word Expander for "the rest of" your computer. I use it to automate repetitive Windows- or Word-based tasks that would otherwise take a lot of Keystrokes or mouse clicks.

I create shortcuts so that I can type just a few keystrokes to perform any of the more tedious administrative parts of my work.

For example, typing "sendlog" will, for me, automatically create an e-mail message that sends my line count log for the day where it needs to go.

It's really hard to explain, so I hope you don't mind if I just refer you to the web site.

When I was active in the....sm

Unfortunately, we can't please everyone although we try. We run Active X controls
and a few cannot see the left column and we have offered a number of ways to get the left menu to appear. Beyond that, we are unable to help. Administrator

Should have mentioned in initial post that I have deleted, redownloaded the new EP, and when that didn't work, tried an older version - no luck.  Even the older version is playing just my .dvf files fast.  I think there's a gremlin in my system trying to drive me crazy. 


Thanks so much for your suggestions though! 


Anybody else?


It was active just a few days ago.

When this whole bruha-ha started, I Googled the name as well. The site was up and working, carrying a glowing endorsement from EMDAT as well. Guess the owner decided to take it all down.


The Active Topics page contains
a drop down at the top where you can sort number of days and specific board.
looks like it was an active website at one point, sm
now it is just parked by earthlink. www.jesterstouch.com
State Boards are Active Now!

Thanks,

They generally are very active dogs who can develop
behavior problems.  Please do a Google search.  He should be excercised daily.  Again, please do a google search and learn as much as you can.  Talk to breeders, trainers, etc.  In the long run you (and he) will be much better off if you take the time now to research and spend the necessary money to learn training techniques.  You might find that it boils down to daily long, structured walks and then play.  You will do great!  Good luck! 
Could you tell me what the active inflammatory lymph nodes mean?
I had a CT abdomen and pelvis last year because I was having pain from Crohn's disease. I have swollen lymph nodes then. I had no other symptoms as in no other lymph nodes that were enlarged, etc. So they did a followup CT a year later, which happened to have been this week. I haven't gotten the results yet. I'm wondering what your active inflammatory lymph nodes mean? Is it normal for some to be enlarged consistently?
The State Board is no longer active - nm

Make sure you are looking in "All Active Templates."

You proved my point.. Most active ON RECORD, which is but a blip in

Stedmans Med $ Surgical Equip words, Path and Lab words, and Tessiers Surgical Word book (3rd
edition).  I never buy drug books anymore.  Waist of money in my opinion.  New drugs come out so often, it's best to use the web.
If the state boards are no longer active, why haven't they been removed so people don't waste

The Sted's Ortho & Rehab Words is probably my most used book and then the Lab Words book. GL! nm

had a similar issue with TWC and they had done some upgrades and the modem I had was no longer compatible.  The tech knew what the problem was the minute he saw the modem, only it took me about 3 months and threatening to cancel for them to get out here.

DID you check with Social Security& does your son receive a check???

Go to SSA.gov and research the payee options.  You may have to use the search engine, but your answer to this particular issue should be there.


I am disabled and while my kids were minors, I had to fill out a form each year on how I, as the payee spent each and every penny of the money they received.  I don't see how his mother can justify how she spent his money for things that you normally would pay.


That said, he is getting Social Security right?  Is your son receiving a dependent check?  Under law, if a parent is disabled and has minor children, each and every one of those children also receive a check until they turn 18 or graduate from high school, which ever comes first.


The check is a percentage of your husbands, so for 800.00, your son should receive at least 350.00.  If you have not been getting this, they would pro-rate it back to when your husbands disability started and that in itself, could solve a lot of your financial problems.  You can also find this out on their website,  HTH


no - don't check out wildblue. check out hughesnet. sm
i was on wildblue. i absolutely HATED it. i paid $400 for install and equipment and bill was $51.51 a month for smallest plan. no bills, had to be direct debit from credit card or bank. wasn't a lot faster than dial up and i frequently went over my download limit so i had to upgrade to the $80/mo plan. speed was no faster on their "fastest plan". they had a 1-yr contract and only 1-yr warranty. well 20 days (kid you not) out of warranty my tria (the eye on the dish) went out and it cost me a total of $275 for replacement and tech call (had to wait a week and a half before tech could come and then he no showed and rescheduled for the next day stating he didn't have the equipment he needed to fix me and the repair order had been in for over a week by that time. no call to say he wasn't coming either, just no showed). they TRIED to sell me the entire package all over again to get me locked into another 1-yr contract and i declined. it was best in their book so your warranty and equipment would be "new". i had to tell them for 5 months to change which credit card to debit from, never could get it right. had to tell them for 3 months when my phone number changed. i could not wait until the day my 1-yr contract was over. have heard really good things about hughesnet. i think it is a tad more a month, but supposedly a lot faster than wildblue and not near as many problems from what i have heard from others. wildblue was down for an entire week at one point throughout the year i was on it. always got lost signals and page cannot be found multiple, multiple times throughout the day. i used wildblue with VPN (with transtech) and could not keep a connection enough to get a decent line count as i was dropping signals too much and it did slow it way down. i finally got clinic work rather than acute care where time and speed wasn't a factor. research message boards for complaints about wildblue and hughesnet before deciding. also hughesnet i think told me a 2-yr warranty rather than only the 1-yr with wildblue.

If she pursues this matter, I'd have a DNA test done immediately to determine whether your son is financially responsible or not.  It's worth the investment.
You took the words right out
Well said!

words, etc.
Has anyone heard of a company called words, etc. from California and their rep, etc?  Been offered position and just double checking.  Thanks!
looking up words

Somebody recently mentioned a site where you can go and put a * in the part of the word that you can't get.  Example: 


ap*ectomy = appendectomy.


Can you tell me again where this site is?  It's sooooooooo helpful!!


Thanks!  


These were not my words. I merely
copied the paragraphs from a previous post, because the original poster was looking for the item about the "golden handcuffs".  I don't necessarily agree with it.  Just trying to help the original poster find what she/he was looking for. 
But they were my words. How many of the
companies mentioned on this board call you within 3 weeks and give you a raise because you are producing high quality work and producing well? (Not a 1/4 cpl, but a 2 cpl raise.) How many tell you about new accounts and give you the opportunity to change if you want? How many have primarily non-ESL accounts with good dictators? How many have a tech support group that does not have an automatic response that everything is your fault and that can be reached almost immediately so you are not sitting waiting, or have a very productive and easy platform to work on? How many times have you gotten a nice letter telling you you are doing a great job? How many actually talk to the owner of the company or something above the level of a team leader? How many get very clear instructions for the accounts? How many provide good samples of the dictators? And yes, I get benefits as well plus bonuses for high production without asking.

The person who referred me for this job told me this is what the company was like, but I was so hesitant because I had worked for too many of the bigger companies and gotten the bait and switch, the cherry picker routine, no raise, horrible accounts, late pay.
Oh, Words...

I am afraid that's one of my problems--thinking I'll wait until the end but then forgotting.  I am trying really hard to pay attention to every detail and then just be confident and let it go!

I have only said these same words for the last
whiney MTSO owners  who want good MTs and only pay 8 cpl.  Baloney, salami, rat's patootie, whatever.  Deliver the work and the pay, and you'll get your reports and maybe even some help when you really need it the most.  PAY MORE SMALL MTSOs, and you'll certainly get more in return!     
Bad words
Years ago the doc quoted the patient using the F word. I WA so surprised. I pressed both hands over my ears, as if I hadn't heard it correctly and played it again. I typed it as said. I also remember my spell check did not recognize the F word. The doc also reported the mother to social services.

So in other words...
That is the correct price being offered on the exam there. However, we also offer that very same rate here in the US when we run promotions like our current Credentialing Cup.
So are you saying you got -150 words
aren't getting paid for what you DID type?  100 words minus 250 words?  That comes out to -150 words.  Is that what you are saying?  If you got paid for what you typed, I don't see a problem with that...
Looking up words. I see sm

many posts asking for help with words or phrases that are clearly in reference books that most MTs should have.  Don't MTs buy their own reference material anymore or do they rely strictly on the internet.  Most the words and phrases asked about on the Word Board could be found just by buying the medical phrase index or the Surgical Word Book or some of these other word books and building up a reference library. 


What happened to building up the library and searching and learning?  I just looked at some of the Word Help stuff tonight and a lot of it is ridiculous stuff that an MT could very easily find.


Any opinions?  Im not talking about blanks where you just can't understand what they are saying.  I am talking about specific instruments and phrases.  Seems like it happens an awful lot and MTs don't want to search or maybe don't know where to search or don't know what reference material is out there to buy?


Lots of this stuff could be found in just the two books I mentioned above.  Just curious


 


in other words, the perfect job!
sorry to burst your bubble! I have, however, been on the same acct for over four years, but it runs scant these days, so I am on another acct, but I'm finally getting used to it.  Can't use many macros though, cause very rarely have the same doc.  How 'bout when you find "that" job, let us all know where it's at!!! Have a good day!  Hey, what happened to winky!!!
thanks for the kind words - it does help...:)
I know lots of places are hiring, but I don't have enough experience for most of them and am afraid to jump from the frying pan into the fire....


Lab studies words
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! If you couldn't figure out that one, give it up!
Thanks for the engouraging words...
I've sent in my resume with several companies that have posted on this board, but no one has responded.

I realize they're probably bombarded with responses, but you'd think they could send out an automated generic email stating "we received your resume," or "we've filled all openings," or something...

I haven't posted my resume, but I will.

Also, I'm going to get out and look for my own accounts as soon as I can. Right now, I've just moved my parents in with me, and there are a lot of doc appointment for them, so I'm sort of stuck for the time being.

Thanks for the advice. :)
Thanks so much for the words of encouragement!!
I am going to take the job. I don't feel comfortable saying how much per line, but I am very excited to start.
My words of wisdom
Why, yes, yes I am! If you don't like my company, please move on! This company has been in business for many, many years and I intend to keep it that way. None of you little peon transcriptionists can do anything to change that. I want only positive and productive transcriptionists working for me, and sorry honey, but you do not fall into that category. If I am such a bad, bad man, then why I ask, do you take my money every 2 weeks in your paycheck? Good golly ladies, get a life and leave my company alone. I do have lots and lots of competitors out there so go see how happy you are with them, but I will tell you right now this door only swings one way so don't come crawling back a cryin' saying you had it too good here - as the saying goes, "you don't know what you got til it's gone." For some, I understand that it will take you leaving to find that out and to that end, I say good riddens, adios amiogos, farewell, and goodbye.
