so sorry about your troubles
we're all rooting for you. Hope everything gets better
Teenager troubles.
Boy, do I know what you're going through. Daughter is talented, intelligent and athletic.  We have always been strict but she is allowed so many extra activities that we provide the opportunity for her to do.  Everything going for her and still tries to defy us.  She is down to no phone, no car and go nowhere without us.
Big kitty troubles...
I also have a big kitty though not quite as big as yours. He does not quite seem to get his rear in to do his number two business either and it always ends up on the floor in front of the box. I have a regular size litter box and my mother has said they come in larger sizes and has suggested trying this. I plan to purchase one ASAP! He never goes on the floor and is very clean otherwise.

To the other poster who suggested just throw him outside, to some that would be like throwing a family member out of the house; I could never even consider that. There are other options and I know my kitty does not do this on purpose, he just needs an adjustment made to meet his particular needs. Good luck in finding what works for you and your big furry friend!
sorry for your troubles but...every VA Hosp..s/m

every VA hospital and every veteran here in the USA will tell you the same, 6 months to get seen, to get a CAT scan, et al......in THIS country, they treat our vets TERRIBLY!!  Not just the vets either - the people who helped during 9/11 and down at Ground Zero are being refused treatment in this country.........


Again, see SICKO........by Michael Moore...whether you like him, his movies, or not.........this one is important!



 


yahoo-is anyone else having troubles?
my yahoo mail is acting soooo goofy what is going on here
Foot pedal control/knee control? (sm)

My sewing machine has a knee control built into the side of the cabinet and I find this very comfortable.  I would like to somehow do the same with foot pedal I use for transcription.  Can figure out how to mount it, but having trouble adjusting it so the 3 pedals are not an issue.  ANyone done this or have any input? 



 


Foot pedal control/knee control
Though I have not had experience with this type of modification, I have repaired numerous footpedals and have some information that may be helpful. Generally, the footpedal is comprised of the primary circuit board, the wiring to the computer, and the three switches for play, rewind, and fast forward. These switches are easily removed from the pedal with a screwdriver. With basic soldering, you can lengthen the wiring to each switch, or even replace them with different switches you can get at a local electronics store. With a little bit of creative engineering, you could mount some knee -controllable switches that could control the footpedal.
try rebooting
try rebooting.  Also try unplugging and replugging into the port, before you attempt to reboot and again afterwards if that doesn't do it.  Sometimes we think we have it plugged in right and if it's hard to get to like mine is, it might just need to be wiggled slightly.    I've had that problem time and time again,,,next time I'll write down in my little flower book what I do when this happens.   I have a little dollar store notebook beside my hard drive and I've started writing down EVERYTHING because when you get to be my age, you no longer remember....
MDI is good, has troubles like any other company.
I love it; if I have an issue, I speak to my team leader and it gets resolved. My paycheck is on time and I support my kids.

You are correct, you should just sit in a corner and type and on your days off, look for another job.

There are too many companies out there to be unhappy and bitter. Hope you find one that suits you better.

Did you try rebooting to see if it would recognize "new...sm

I use Control N to end a job - Control T is for when viewing an old report
Don't know what you are talking about

yep, I vote with "worth a try" - rebooting fixes so many things. nm

That's because programs use up memory resources and you can only get them back by rebooting or
shutting down and booting back up. I always shut down at night.

Anyone having troubles with DocQScribe/pedal making your typing lag and freezing the voice? Any solu

I generally...
ask for a manager on the spot.  If there isn't one there, I'll call back later and speak to one.  I, for one, believe in service with a smile.    I haven't had to, but I do think I would ask for the number and address of corporate, either to write a letter or call.  JMO, of course. 
Generally...
you are given the option of buying the modem or they will provide it.  It's cheaper to buy it yourself.  You will also need line filters, which allow the phone part of the connection to work.
Generally... sm
When they say 65 characters with spaces, it means that you count every letter you see and every space between those letters, and divide by 64, which equals a line.

Usually only up to 2 spaces between the period of one sentence to the beginning of the next sentence is counted, not a whole blank line at the end of a paragraph if that line is only a few characters.

Some companies pay for the actual ASCII character for the or , but that is company preference. You can come close to figuring with taking your total letters and punctuation plus spaces and divide by 65. That is the AAMT (or AHDI or whatever they call themselves these days!) standard and what I think most companies go by when they say 65 characters plus spaces.

If you're concerned about what your company counts or if you're not being counted correctly, just ask them what they count and how they count it, and then verify that that is what you come up with on your reports.

Hope this helps!
Generally...
....he will be paid within 2 months. Our biggest problem is we never know HOW MUCH the next check will be because it's never the full amount he billed them for. He's been doing this for 5 years. He really hates it, but he is a computer programmer, and most of the jobs are now overseas.
If you say you are generally happy with MDI
Why don't you just take up Liz on her offer to call her? Why come on here and go on so.

Though it seems you WANT to give constructive criticism, you really aren't.
It's probably not high, generally, but
if you're a single person with those expenses and work only as an MT, even for two more companies these days, it's HIGH.
Generally no emails
As an IC at a small MTSO, if there is very low workloads, there is usually no email. I thought this was strange myself, since if it was my company, I would be keeping my people closely updated and thinking about them and their needs and anticipating their questions and concerns. I would have to take the initiative to email asking "is there anything wrong?" or "is something the matter with such-and-such account?" or "is there a technical problem somewhere?" I would then get an email answering my question. I think it is impolite and unprofessional for a business not to keep their people closely posted and put them first.
GENERALLY speaking

first shift is 7 AM to 3 PM


second is 3 PM to 11 PM


third is 11 PM to 7 AM


this is general - it may be +/- an hour or two.


shift differential would probably be based on company policy.


Is satellite generally
a lot cheaper than DSL/cable? Personally, I get the creeps when I have to type during a thunderstorm. I'm afraid I'm going to be zapped in the ears with lightening!
A lot of companies are different but generally it is anywhere from
50-70% cut for VR.. Say you get 9 cpl for straight typing. You company might pay you 4.5 cpl or even 5 cpl. As a whole, if you get below 4 cpl, no matter what your base rate is for straight typing, I'd tell them to take a hike. I have been offered anywhere from 1.5 to 3 cpl in the past and just laughed. There NO way this is an acceptable and liveable wage no matter who you are. You could make more at McDonalds.
Is this generally a known slow...sm
time of year for MT?  I know I have heard some posters on here say this is the slow time of year.  I have only done this 1-1/2 years so I don't know really yet.  Is this a given for around the holidays to be real slow?  Do things usually pick up more after the holidays?   
We've all been there; if your work is generally
You want to hear something REALLY stoopid? When I first started working in a children's hospital as a newbie MT, for about six months I transcribed the abbreviation VSD as venereal sexual disease (not ventricular septal defect).  When I discovered my error, I went to my boss and confessed, fully expecting to be fired.  She was freaked but forgiving, and had a memo issued to the medical director so he could inform the doctors to look out for the error in all the charts they read; it turned out they had already done handwritten correction of most of the errors.  That was over 20 years ago but I still wince at how many babies have records of venereal disease because of that error.
Generally typing speed is

irrelevant, since the typical typing test usually involves straight copying from a printed or hand written sheet.  Any transcription involves other functions than just typing, hence the standard typing speed means nothing. 


 


The funeral home generally does
not hire MTs. The forensic pathologist hires the MT. You can ask the funeral home for a list of their doctors.
Sorry. I wasnt arguing with you. Im just generally
it just gets me p1ssed off, and then i start ranting!
Generally, I have more trouble with female dictators..

something about the tone of their voices is harder for me to understand


Question: doc dictates "pt is generally p***ed off."

I'm half tempted to type it just that way....Would you?


RE: Question: doc dictates "pt is generally p***ed off."
Yes, if physician said it, transcribe it exactly as dictated. What is the question concerning "pissed off", if I get the *** correct?
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! 
In the US, a business degree generally means an MBA...
That's a pretty good education, unless, of course, "business degree" means something different in India.
I generally request 60 minutes of dictation for the weekend

Generally office notes versus hospital
For my accounts anyway, my multispecialty is office notes, letters, in office procedures and acute care is hospital notes.
generally this time of the year is slow for my hospital NM

trailer parks and low level housing is where criminals generally go.
not too many criminals have good jobs to afford a nice house. i know of child molester filled neighborhood because there are no restrictions, no HOA and the houses are low income homes. no this doesn't only happen in trailer parks but crime statistically happens more often in worse neighborhoods and more ex-criminals statistically live in lower level neighborhoods.
Do you think doctors are generally arrogant and make a lot of money and so inconsiderate of us?
I had been listening to several breast onco dictations by the same female dictator who kept on yawning that it was so annoying...made me want to post a complaint to a forum of mother MDs (though I was not quite sure where I would post it) which I previously run into...

I then saw under the General Discussion board this thread:

http://www.mommd.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php/ubb/get_topic/f/1/t/000236/p/1

That made me feel like reaching out to the sleepy doctor who was probably not being paid for that time she takes to dictate about her patients (she apparently let them pile up before dictating) and just let her head rest on my lap (I am a female). Maybe she did not have enough sleep, or not even enough time to enjoy her family...
Generally 200 lph, but depends on work type, I can do more with OP notes, has to do with motivation
I hate HP, consults, and DS, but that is the majority of what I do. I always, always do better with OP notes.
