this happens to me occasionally too

Usually it's an ESL doc - they switch genders mid report constantly


If there are no other clues in the report, i.e. physical exam (male/female genitalia), I go with whatever was stated in the history - in your case, female.

Not the OP, but I occasionally get
The first time I thought there was something wrong with the audio. It sounded like a stuck record. Two minutes of actual dictation and 3 minutes of perrrriod, perrrriod, perrrriod!

This happens to me occasionally...

The platform I work on is EXText.  When I am in EXText and try to save something to AutoCorrect, sometimes it doesn't stick.  I have found that if I go into my regular Word program and save it there, when I go into ExText the AutoCorrect entry has been saved.  I'm not sure if this is your problem, but hopefully this will help.


Most days 8-10...occasionally more, but...
managers are paid for any overtime. 
Not slow for me. I occasionally welcome
a slow day, just haven't had one in a very long time - though I'm not complaining.    I know there are lots of companies with little work.   I find it hard to believe there isn't work, it is just being outsourced or the pets are getting it. 
You have my sympathy -- I have flares occasionally sm

and it is no fun -- my ring finger and little finger go completely numb!  I have seen a hand surgeon a couple of times, and he recommends frequent breaks, stretching exercises, and high doses of NSAIDs.   When it is really bad, I have had a shot of Marcaine in my elbow.



Good luck!


i do it occasionally when needing to catch up; sm
as the other poster said, my production shows in the next 2 days though. i always keep a light on (not just a lamp). i have lots of dr. pepper. i usually do laundry so that every 45 mins or so i have to get up and fold another load and that keeps me awake. i avoid food as that will make me sleepy too. also do as the other poster said, don't surf the net at all as that makes me sleepy to. i stick to my work and knock it out as quickly as i can.
I get tendinitis too occasionally. If I catch it in time, sm

can avoid the trip to the orthopedist for the x-rays, exam, shot of Marcaine and big bill (ugh).  He gave me stretching exercises to do every hour or two, and I take 3-4 ibuprofen (actually, Advil Liquigels -- it may be just hype but I do believe they work faster) if I have a flare.


Good luck.


If you have ever noticed, occasionally when starting up EXText, you will get a message that says SM

something like "the local normal doc is newer, would you like to use this one" and if you click "no" you basically loose all your macros and have to start from scratch.  I've had this happen countless times. 


I haven't had it happen for a while.  I created my macros in plain Word BEFORE running EXText and so far so good.


Not much help, I know.

My ankle pops. It's not painful, but occasionally it will get stiff and then pop very loudly.
