Actually, we've been handed back that feature.

When a doc says the patient is right-handed or left-handed...sm

Sorry... "WE"...

"we" ???
are you schizophrenic with multiple personalities?
so what can "we" do about this?
Not just "we" as in MTs, but "we" as Americans.....The Americans and US citizens whether from afar or born and raised here (those of us who currently live here and are citizens). This includes doctors, patients, families of patients, nurses, people in the military....absolutely everyone.

Does anyone think it would be wrong to send a letter to every hospital and clinic (and every single place has any type of dictations that may end up being sent overseas) notifying doctors and those in administration of the gigantic risks being taken when their clients' SSN and other pertinent information is offshored to other countries?

It is just an idea. I don't mean to offend anyone by asking that question. I just thought maybe it might make a difference. We could all get together and make a letter stating what is happening, what could happen(and may already have happened), and the ramifications it will have. Then, we could designate a few people for each state (depending on the size of each state) and get the letters mailed to every cinic, hospital, military clinics, military hospitals, and so on.

Am I way off base on this idea?

Any feedback and opinions would be great.

I know this stuff is all in the news and everyone (including the clinics and hospitals) should know by now but some don't know. Some people just don't pay attention or believe too much of it.
"We" don't need a new career
but it sounds like you sure do. You are so full of a negative attitude. Time for YOU to move on, for sure.
Who is "we" - more than one person???
.. Interesting, that's a lot of lines, was it transcription they could get reimbursed for? Was it presented as a "test" - not too clear.
What is this "we," kemosabe?
''It does not matter if **we** are all remote or not.''

''Example... until **we** get benefits and a fair pay scale we do not work... PERIOD!''

''**We** that are CMTs or qualified MTs are going to cease all work functions until **we** have a standardized package. **We** are expected to have all this knowledge and keep up all these credentials... and **we** demand to be compensated with a benefit package and fair pay scale.''

Were you originally trying to pass yourself off as an MT?? And then changed your mind and decided to admit you aren't but are a ''consultant'' why?


Pretty sure "we" are an Indian company.
This is what the company I used to work for did, they would send 2000 or so lines to a company for a trial and then gradually increase the work they sent to them, if it worked out.
But you are the only one who can make that happen. It's not going to be handed SM
to you. You just have to learn to work smarter, and don't sit at some company that's eating you alive. Do it!
It is because the US wants it handed to them. Nobody wants to work 3rd shift.
Maybe if people would work the shift, we wouldnt have to send stuff overseas to get it done overnight.
Yep, handed to them on a silver platter while most of us
nm
Or.... how about the famous line "we're growing!!!"
and you see the same ad week after week after week after week. I can think of 3 places that continuously have ads out. I have worked all 3. I now know firsthand why they advertise all the time, they probably can't keep anybody more than a month or two.
hahaha! I've been caught red handed!! lol

Microsoft states "We're better off moving jobs out of US"
It makes U.S. jobs more expensive,” Ballmer said in an interview. “We’re better off taking lots of people and moving them out of the U.S. as opposed to keeping them inside the U.S.”

Your first boss really sealed your fate! You had failure handed to you at the start!
How on earth can you even believe that?? There are thousands of MTs who have worked, and full time, with small children at home.  Boy, talk about an encouraging post! Doom and gloom for sure! The continued negativity of the MTs on this forum is astonishing.  You don't have to spend thousands and thousands of $$ to get an education, and if she's a single Mom, she'll probably qualify for complete financial aid! And the company board the last week has been full of posts from newbie grads who are getting jobs across the board, and good ones! This business is constantly ebbing and flowing, changing, but always is a lucrative career! Come on! And the person below, fg, who is negative 24/7 calls it dog meat??? I'd like to see any comparable career where I work the minimal hours I do and make fantastic $$. And, gee, me, a lowly self-educated CMT! Doom and gloom is yours if you choose it.  From your own post, your first boss set the tone for you, and you accepted it.  Think POSITIVE!
Well, Pattie, think about this. All that family medical history you happily handed over? (sm)
When that information listing family medical history ends up in numerous computer databases, you've effectively hampered your child's future ability to obtain medical insurance, life insurance, and who knows what. Although they may not know anything about the identities of parents and grandparents, they sure do know what medical predisposition insurance companies may think are just too risky to sell a policy. Think about that.
The Red Cross just HANDED OUT $5 million worth of debit cards in Texas.
FEMA decided to mail them in 14 days if the people knew where they were going to be...couldn't possibly get them out faster...too much work...etc.

also....wayyyyy back in the late 60's and early 70's when I actually worked in a doctor's office or hospital, if patient's name was Norman, 75% of the time I typed Normal.  What is really funny....my father's name was Norman Hassell...can you imagine anyone being a "normal hassell"?  Even funnier still, my mother named me Joy....so guess you can say I'm a "happy hassell"!! and a lefty at the same time; people tend to steer clear of me!!!  Have a good day.  Big huge storm moving across our little island right now; got to shut down and unplug everything.  
Do they feature MT's?
a
No, this feature is not...
available in the current version. We will be adding it in the upcoming version.

Thanks,
MTStars Support Team.

what F9 feature? the only thing F9 does
that I am aware of is take us to screen to get line counts ??
New Search Feature (sm)
Is it possible to display the dates of the posts in the search results?  If not, add to wishlist?
There is a compatibility feature

There is a compatibility feature with Vista, or so they claim.  It's all in this Q&A piece in the Times here.  I think you might have to register for the Times to read this link but it's got some good info

I like the Glossaries feature sm
I can make separate glossaries for each separate hospital and then it doesn't crowd the main glossary. Also, if I leave an MTSO, I can just delete that glossary without losing all my main entries.
i think yahoo has a feature like this
but I haven't used it so I don't know for sure
Yeah, I heard they have that feature now, but...
I just don't use it. I use yahoo, but very rarely. I forgot about that though.
Well the backspace feature won't work as far as I know BUT sm
I use 48x and have that expand to 48-year-old and it will expand correctly. Some people I know use 48y and set it to expand to the same thing. Not perfect but hope it helps.
Are you talking about the AutoText feature?
To create a new AutoText entry, it's ALT F3.

I don't know if there is one to open the AutoCorrect options window by default but you could always assign a hotkey/combo.
you need to use the mail merge feature or
put the addresses in your text expander, which is much easier.
Help! MS Word 'Track Changes' Feature

Hi,

Can anyone help with this? I want to use the track changes feature as I proofread reports, so the TXer can learn from their mistakes. After I send the TXer that version with the correction marks, I want to THEN REMOVE THE MARKS, so I can have a 'clean' version of the report which has all of my corrections to it, but doesn't show any red marks. As of now, I see now way to remove the marks. Thanks a lot.

Dave
Use the pass feature to move sm
past questions that are stumping you for the moment and you will get them again after you've finished the set of questions.  Get a good night's sleep the night before, eat a good breakfast the morning of if you can.  Know your BOS and general medical terminology and you will do fine.
Cool MT search feature

Found this awesome search engine tailor-made for MTs. Works fantastically well. Link is below.


Not with Word 2007. That feature is gone.

Maybe because Home version does not have encryption feature.

I use the Compare feature on the tools menu.

I believe the "sentence continuation" is one feature that will not work nm

Goodness, if you didn't know about the command feature, you really need to
spend some time on the Productivity Talk board for tons of ideas.
Will this glossary transfer to the ESP feature in EXText?
I know I have emailed you before but I chose that financially I just couldn't afford a Expander right now and then I found out that there is one built into the EXText.  I'm trying to build that up but as I have never used Expanders before I am at a loss as to what to put into it.  Thanks.
You need to use the command feature of IT when you make your entry sm
Copy and insert your text into a new IT entry. Now go back thru the entry and each time you want a field to be placed, you have to hit the "command" button on the bottom left of the window. Then hit CTRL+F9 to create a world field (this will make the little bracket thingies when it spits out in Word). When you're all done, hit OK and there you go!
Where would this feature be located on the drop-down menu on top?
Thanks.
Help with MS Word 'Show Edits' Feature...

 


Hello,


I am proofreading reports as MS Word files. I want to send a version showing the corrections (in red, as MS Word does when you turn on this feature), but then I want to send the final 'clean' version, with the corrections but without showing all the changes in red, to the client. It doesn't seem that this is possible. Whenever I turn the show edit feature on, I cannot then remove the red marks later.


Thanks for help,


Dave


 


I just use the * and the search and find feature; seems much faster than macros to me. nm
;
If I can remember, I like to use the "autocorrection" feature in Word that adds it to AC SM

automatically. No writing anything down. I don't take my  hands from the keyboard if I can help it. Sometimes I *do* have to go back and un-correct it so I can add it.


I do my work all crazy. Comes from so many years of not having spell check or anything.


Only if you're using the track changes or compare feature. Once somebody else has the document
x
I love Instant Text too, especially the continuations feature!

The link didn't show up, and the search feature

Added Smilies along with new format available. Note that all new posts will have the feature
but old posts may not.
