Your husband tech guys are not the bible. You have go give access for tech sm
support to get onto your computer. Just sit there and watch everything they do. If you still feel uncomfortable do not take the job.
Agree. You could be a Surgical Tech or Respiratory Therapy or a Med. Tech. nm

Hi,


Just wondering if anyone had any info on Med-Tech in Lousiana. I didn't see any good or bad in the archives. Thanks!

Hi Bobbie,


Thanks for your input. Their schedule didn't work for me anyway-they were going to hire me without even doing an interview! I hope you had better luck in whatever you chose next.

Did you like being a vet tech? I'd like
to hear more about it, if you don't mind.
oh yes, but the tech guy did all that for me.
Can't really help you much in that way, but you can get it online, I think that's what he did.  It has junk mail files, suspected junk mail files, and then of course my "wanted" email file.  I'm not very computer "savvy" so that's why I needed help.  But it looks to me like you can just go to SpamBayes and load it. I know it has a "wizard" to load it.  Good luck because this spam thing has gotten way out of hand.  Should be a law against it!  Maybe someone else has heard of it, maybe try the technical help board if you can't get it to work.  I'm sorry that I can't help much more than that.  But yes, in answer to your question, you can set up your email as you would like.  Good luck, and hope this helps.
Hey, you tech MT's, help please.

I got a LinkSys router at Wal-Mart and with tech help, I got my Vista computer and other computer going at the same time; however, I unplugged the cable from the phone jack one night, as it was storming, and could not get both computers back on line after that.  I actually have returned the router and doing without for now.


I would like your experiences and any help that you could give me. I have used cable router before, but not for phone line -- DSL.  Thanks.


I would think the tech could do it. At my
former job they were able to switch them from Medscribe to DQS.
Must say, as former vet tech myself, that

maybe posted this on wrong board earlier:


I have a daughter vet in another state that would like me to transcribe her work.  Is there is way to do this via digital and/or a call-in dictation system without going through an MTSO?  Any suggestions? I'd sure love to be able to do that for her!


Need tech help, anyone!
Help!  I have my expansions in Word 2003 autoaorrect, called MSO1033.acl file.  I wanted to transport this file to another computer using Word 2007.  I got it over to the other computer, have installed it in the proper directory, and have renamed the Word 2003 file so it is called MSO.acl, which is what Word 2007 calls it.  Yet, when I open Word 2007 on the destination computer, my expansions are not there.  The file is showing in the directory, verified by my last date of change before I moved it, and is more than three times the size of a normal .acl file.  Can anyone tell me what boat I'm missing here?  Thanks, appreciate it.
What about an x-ray tech? Seems like there

MT becoming RAD TECH

I have heard MTs switching over to nursing, coding/billing, but has anyone else considered training for Radiology Technology.  I was considering this but found out the course work is very intense for 2-3 years while working in the hospital as an intern.  Can't do it now but still considering it in the future.  I hear the demand is only growing in this field and can't see it being outsourced. 


Med-Tech, Mediscript in LA

Any info on these companies would be appreciate-I haven't found very much yet. Thanks!

TRS, SoftScript, Med-Tech

Hi,


Just wondering if anyone has worked for any of these companies. I'm down to making my final choice. Thanks!

Re: tech support
I don't know if it gets back to our supervisors, but I wish it would get back to theirs! What I do now is tell the "real winner" support person that I have to hang up suddenly. Then, I call right back. I suddenly get a different one who is a whiz and very helpful. It's worth the hang-up and call back unless you have to wait 45 minutes for the next "helpful tech." ;-)
Help on tech board please!

Seriously need help on the Tech Board
Cannot open hyperlinks.  Popups open as blank white pages.  Can't find help on Microsoft.  HELP!!!
Check with tech there. sm
I don't remember if I asked or not, but I did import my shorthand files into ExText, so I didn't have to start from scratch.

Good luck! I hope you're as happy with Amphion as I am!
Cardiac tech here....

Not sure what you mean by weird heart murmur.  That should have been checked at least with echocardiogram.  I'm thinking mitral valve prolapse which can cause chest pain and exercise symptoms but is generally benign. 


At  your age and being female it is highly unlikely it is cardiac disease.  They would probably do an EKG while you're having the pain and check enzymes. 


Chest pain is very very common and often is not cardiac.  It's cause is unclear, sometimes costochondritis, sometimes GI, sometimes just unknown.


You still need to see a physician very soon to determine if NSAIDs or other simple meds (Protonix) are the answer or more tests are needed.

A4 Tech antiRSI
I've done the MS natural and also the Kinesis but I keep coming back to this thing. It has pyramid shaped keys that seem to be a little bit closer together than a normal keyboard. It only costs around $7 at Dealsonic. I should probably pick up another one for back up.
med-tech company
Has anyone heard of this company?  It is out of Marietta,Georgia.  Any information would be appreciated!  Trying to pick up some part time work.
Vet tech/transcriptionist
That's interesting...I used to be a vet tech in the '80s and got tired of not being able to explain to the animals why I was causing pain. I also like more focused work. Loved radiology so now radiology Transcriptionist for 15 years. So you and I had flip-flopped career paths...good luck on this new endeavor as a veterinary assistant.

Histology Tech Job

Does anybody know anything about this job, i.e., ins and outs, good and bad, know anyone who has done it, etc?  I am trying to find a "better way" than MT but no clue as to which direction to go.  I also wondered about surgical scrub tech job.  Willing to do a 1-year certificate school but don't know about 2 years of school.  Any info would be much appreciated.  Thanks.


A4 Tech keyboards

Hi, I just ordered one of these keyboards.  Supposedly they will increase  your production and had really great reviews.  I ordered the 2680RP model which is wireless keyboard and mouse.  Just wondering if anyone else has used these and what they thought.  Mine is supposed to be here today.  Can't wait to try it out.  Any info about them would be really appreciated. 


 


 


Need tech help with DocQScribe

I just started working for a service that uses DocQScribe and for another service as well and use the same foot pedal for both.  However, I noticed that when I log into DocQScribe and start to play the dictation file, it will start to play and then suddenly jump back to the beginning of the dictation.  The footpedal that I currently use is an Infinity IN-USB-1.  Or is DocQScribe the type of program that tends to conflict with other programs?


TIA


EKG tech and phlebotomist?
Is that one training program and one job? I've never heard of the two going together. Unless you are dealing with dye/contrast or adenosine infusions but then those are usually IV and I don't think phlebotomists do IVs, at least not here in the NW.
Tech/video

I am posting a tech (nonwork related) question on the gab board ... any help will be appreciated!


Maybe a technical board would be another great addition to this site.    Thanks.


Tech stuff- Need FTP help. sm
I have a client that needs to log on via FTP. She is not able to do so, and so I think it's the firewall.

Is there any way to log on via FTP without changing firewall settings? Would resetting the firewalls help or her shutting the firewall down and then restarting after she logs in help?

Even when she uses Internet Explorer to log in via FTP, she gets a message and it doesn't allow her to log in.

I will probably need some sort of software to get in and fix stuff like that. If anyone has recommendations, it would be appreciated.
Tech Support

I had a problem back in January. I have AT&T. I finally ended up calling the help desk for AT&T (They are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a  week.)  He told me to do the following (and it worked). What I was trying to do was put in an application on line, and the message kept coming up that I was not able to do that.)


Turn off or unplug moden., Turn off computer.  Wait about 3 minutes. Turn on modem and wait until at least 3 lights are on solidly (cannot be flashing).  The lights on the modem are Power, Ethernet, DIFFUSE SLOWING, Internet and Activity. I hope this helps. But the person i spoke to at the help desk was very helpful.


Tech Support
Correction to my previous message.   The one light on the modem is UDSL. It is not diffuse slowing.   Sorry.

I did pharmacy tech for a while.
Studied up on math for a couple of days, didn't take a course or anything. Passed the test. It's pretty much a crap job, too. $12 an hour, low person on the totem pole, lots of negative coworkers.
For Tech Support (or anyone else that knows!) sm
I want to save my autocorrect entries so that when "tech support" starts monkeying around with the platform they don't delete them all like they did.  How do I do that?  I can't get them to save in Extext.  Thanks!

Microsoft SP2 tech ? please sm
Have older backup computer, won't take my Norton antivirus CD unless I update my SP2 latest download. I went on Microsoft download site and perhaps I'm doing it wrong but none of it will work for me. Anyone can help would be appreciated, on here or E-mail me. I really feel better having an extra computer as backup, and my license is for 3 computers so it's nothing that I'm doing illegally. Perhaps I'm just looking in the wrong place as there are several "fixes" and some are for techs only. Help! TIA
Thanks, Tech Support sm
You seem to help a lot of people on here and that's commendable. We are all in the same lifeboat. I think they upgraded the SP2 and it took at least a half hour but think it's okay now as it allowed me to add the Norton as it would not before I updated. Anyway, I have such a stiff neck just from the stress that I will only be using my laptop today but I think it's pretty well fixed and connected. Thanks again, keep on being positive and helpful. After all, that's why I come on the board, not to "fight" and argue. You are very helpful..Most are.

LVN(LPN) or imaging tech. sm
I don't know anything about medical assistant, but the LVN (licensed vocational nurse) program can be obtained at a local community college in sometimes only 12 months. The only bad thing is, almost the only jobs a new LVN/LPN can get any more are in nursing homes, as most of the patient care is now done by CNAs (aides) and most hospitals require RNs now, which is at least a three-year program at community college.

You might want to look into becoming an imaging technician, which is also a community college program, I think it takes two years but not sure--and be trained and licensed to perform scans, IVPs, radiology, etc.
How about imaging tech? nm
.....
I'm looking at radiology tech
I spoke with the ultrasonographer when I got my last mammo and she said it's better to be a rad tech than an ultrasonographer b/c the field is broader (x-ray, MRI, CT, etc). Also, she said she has to know as much as the radiologist but, obviously, doesn't get paid as well. She also said she stands all day and it puts a lot of stress on your neck/arms.
There are A LOT of questions on the tech board.

I agree that J is not the most knowledgable tech and
perhaps feels a little threatened by someone who is computer savvy. If you are the original poster above who had the problem with J, it sounds like you know your way around computers, as I do. Perhaps Dano didn't have a problem with J because she wasn't computer savvy and less of a threat.
can't you adjust that yourself? call tech.
don't tamper with it for all of us.

Have you asked Tech support
if there is a way to export your Expanders from SmartType to DQS? Maybe if not a direct way there is an indirect way, such as pasting to Notepad and then into DQS? That would at least help you in the meantime.
