I wonder if the hospital accounts need to be notified - that their precious program SM

is a HIPAA violation waiting to happen?

Send an email - to the hospital

That's what I did when I still worked there. I never received a reply, but I at least hope I made them think about it a little.

The problem is your anti virus, not ES - sm

Your antivirus updated and doesn't recognize ES. You need to call tech. Anyone who contacted the hospitals was wrong and needs to rectify it. There never was a virus on ES.

Okay, I'll chalk up 1 dislike as a system error - sm

But a fellow MT comes on here and tries to explain a problem you're having and you dislike it? Some of you posters have such a bad attitude and are so paranoid, there's no talking to you. Goodbye MTStars.

Suggestions For A Good Antivirus Software?
Jul 15, 2011

I have just spent the better part of my evening waging war against a very pesky and persistent virus called backdoor.cycbot.  After several scans in safe mode, I think I finally got it, but now a bunch of my desktop icons are gone and on my start menu, when you click on the program name, there's nothing, just the word "empty."  Long story short, I had manually find all my programs through Windows Explorer and creat a shortcut on my desktop for each and every one of them and I stil ...

One Thing I Wish For Online Coding Program
Jun 07, 2012

I am currently attending Andrews School's coding program and I truly do love it.  There are still some things that confuse me a bit and sometimes I have wished there were "training" or lecture videos.  By taking this course, I have realized that I am a visual learner and have found that just by having to read everything, sometimes I have to go over it and over it to make sense of it, which then sets me back as far as time and then I have to rush to get all of my assignments comple ...

Well good thping I did that extra hour yesterday...my line count was lower than normal even with the hour...would have been horrible without it.  Hate unfamiliar accounts.  Plus, one of my accounts has gone to a lot of partial dictations.  Swear my counts have gone down since then.  They come over with practically no ADT that you have to fill in from what info they give...which is time consuming, time I am not being paid for! ...


One Good Thing I Can Stay About MT...
Feb 01, 2012

Is that it has made me not embarrased to talk about "embarrassing" medical stuff.  Also, before I became an MT, I wouldn't want to bring up certain things to doctors because I have pretty severe social anxiety and get embarrassed easiliy (haven't I used that word enough times in this post, lol). And while I still have SA, that has completely gone away. MT has helped me see that my body is just a body, and doctors have seen it all before and much, much worse tha ...


Landmark...Don't Know But Maybe A Good Thing

May be a good thing that Landmark has ignored my resume.  They may not be a good company, I don't know.  I have sent a resume with 5 years experience in acute care and clinic, formerly worked at Nuance, have worked on Escription, which is what they want, and they completely ignore both resumes sent.  Yet they are still advertising for immediate need for MTs.  Doesn't may sense but maybe God's doing me a favor.  What's up with that?   ...

Silver lining, anyone? ...

I am in my last semester of an HIT program at my local community college.  This program is accredited through CAHIIM.  I actually found this program on the AHIMA website as an approved AHIMA coding program and was so excited that it was in my hometown.  Well, almost two years later and $4000 in student debt, I still have no idea how to code.  Sure, I'm great at Math 101 and English 101 and my anatomy is amazing, but I have no idea how to code.  One class that I have ...

I just wanted to say how grateful I am for this board.  I posted a few weeks ago how I hated Kapersky and how it kept updating while I was working and stalled my computer out.  Some great advice was posted on this board about exiting the program and running when YOU want, not when MQ decides to run it and also names of other virus protection programs other than Kapersky (and McAffee which is just as bad).  I tried exiting Kapersky which worked okay, but I finally removed it and in ...
