Just want to say I'm grateful for this forum and to all who post here

I just want to state to my fellow MTS that even though we are no longer considered viable cogs in the medical profession's wheel (as witnessed by the deplorable way in which we are paid and the high expectations foisted upon us), I enjoyed working as an MT for the last 25 years. I was able to raise a child alone. I was able to move around and live in 10 different states by being able to bring my job with me. I learned a lot about the body and how it works, and this knowledge has helped me ...

I've been approached by a local physician to take over his transcription. He dictates from home right now, into his computer. I think maybe with EMDAT? My guess would be that the voice files are created and held somewhere, and his current company/transcriptionist goes in and gets them and somehow transcribes and sends them back via the computer. Anyway, I've been out of the loop for long enough that I'm searching for a low cost, easy way to get his files to ...

I do completely straight typing & have abbreviations in my computer that I use. I add to them but would like to know how people are increasing their line counts and get 20,000+ with straight typing in 80 hours (2 weeks)?? Any input would be appreciated! TIA ...

I haven't seen any notes lately on the New MTs forum, but it's still "there." Does anyone know if they're getting rid of it, or is something funny on my end? Been this way for quite some time. ...

I think the New MT Forum is drying up again. I'm a little surprised. It was always a very popular forum. There are still people wanting to do MT. ...

How do you like the new forum layout? I must say that I really got used to it and I now like it better than the previous one. I especialy like the list at the bottom of the newest posts with the floating little window, indicating what it is about. Thanks! ...

For some reason, after I read a post, the subject isn't changing colors, so that I know what posts I've read. I use Vista with Google Chrome as my browser. Thanks! ...

The people on this coding forum are so pleasant and helpful. If someone gets cranky, it only seems to last for a minute and, unlike many other forums, people don't jump in and start battles. Also, people don't seem to get so defensive or take things personally the way they do in other places. There is an enormous amount of helpful information here and we get to see more than one side of everything, without battles. People respect each other's opinions even when they disagree. Thi ...

Hi everyone! I've seen posts where someone would say to contact them privately for whatever reason yet, unlike other forums, there seems to be no obvious way (to me, anyway), to send a private msg. to the poster. Am I overlooking something? Thanks! ...

ANYONE who uses Windows 7 and Enterprise Express Editor..help me! I need to know how to go backwards to put in the date that a doctor saw a patient. On my old program, EXText, I did CTRL J and it went back. Now, it says that macros are disabled. I don't know how to make this work. ANYONE out there able to help me? I just went from an XP to a Windows 7 and from ExText to Enterprise Express Editor. They are very similar programs but these little changes are ...

A forum to support and assist people who are seeking to leave medical transcription. Call it "The Exit Ramp". ...

I always held myself back from posting. I guess I'm "secretly afraid" that "spooks" are roaming around on the this Board, and if you say "enough" they'll find out who you are via technological "magic" which I don't really understand. But, as I said a post or so back, "I Hit Some Kind of a Wall." The need to vent has overcome the need to exercise wisdom. And besides, I'm looking or another job and at least I live in a big city that has a lot of data entry a ...

When reading this forum or when on ANY Internet site, if you are having trouble because the print is too small, hold down your Ctrl key while using the scroll on the mouse. Moving the mouse "wheel" up will enlarge the print; moving the mouse wheel down will make it smaller. This pretty much works on anything except for e-mails. Don't forget to keep the Ctrl key held down while you are doing this. ...

New pay plan was just announced and is going into effect ... WOW ... what a mess. Reading that page will make you want to count your blessings with MMoral. ...

I don't remember that yet when I post lately it goes all the way to the bottom rather than immediately after the original post. Perhaps I just never noticed it before. Oh well... ...

Sometimes I'm not sure what to do when they say "post" ... something. I know if it is postauricular (for example), it is attached ... but how about post aneurysmal surgery? It does not seem like it would be attached. - Is it proper to leave it stand-alone or should I change it to status post ... or actually attach it? Thanks in advance!! ...

Which one do you guys use? I find it all 3 ways on the net, with no clear indication as to what's correct. Thx. ...

Hi everyone! Just a quick question. Is it post op or postop? Have had this changed both ways recently and have never had this questioned before and am now second guessing myself. Thanks! ...

It was a post that very clearly stated some IRS stuff and some case law, I believe? There is a group of us who worked for a company and pretty much all of us got burned! And we're talking tens of thousands of dollars collectively in one month! So, I am doing some reasearch to see if this former company violated the IC status by paying an hourly wage and need some concrete stuff to make my case. I tried an archive search, but that didn't work. It was just w ...

After so many questioned my former post, I reviewed MQ's PTO policy. They state a maximum of 18 days for full-time employees which is 3 days more than I was offered when I last worked full-time (after 30 years). For those of you who say you are getting 22 or 28 days - I don't know how you managed it but consider yourselves lucky. I hope you continue to get it. And by the way, when I take time off now it is unpaid (as a flexible part-time employee) and was ...

http://hdstoday.com/?tag=mmodal Below are highlights of the news article In light of the One Equity Partners purchase of M*Modal, I predicted that within the next 12 to 18 months we may see OEP turn around and sell off M*Modal’s speech recognition technology to the likes of Microsoft, especially if Apple spends some of its cache of cash on Nuance. A $12 billion buyout of Nuance by Apple would dwarf the $1.2 billion M*Modal acquisition, and it would also put control of a huge chunk o ...
