I have these wonderful gloves called "Foxgloves". They are specifically designed for dexterity. They are thin, soft, flexible. I can type in them with ease, and they keep my fingers warm! Check them out! (www.foxglovesinc.com)
Neat, do you have the smooth ones or the grip ones? - nm

I think they also have gloves without fingertips. If you call the toll-free number, you end up talking to the company directly. They are very nice to deal with. I have a pair I use for birdwatching, driving, etc, and I keep the pair I am wearing right now just for typing. Hope this helps you!
Get warm battery powered hunter's socks. Cut holes for - fingers. Get at sporting supply store. nm

Regarding Medscribe HIM (formerly NJ, Now Florida). I Saw A Pretty Heated Exchange... Aug 28, 2012from May/June 2012 between the QA and a former employee.

Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro...need A New Keyboard, Any Recommendations? Apr 03, 2010Microsoft has discontinued these great keyboards and I need a new one. Anybody aware of a split keyboard that has a really nice touch (remember those old IBM keyboards?) for transcription work by Microsoft or another brand that you really like? I'm open for suggestions please ; 0 My only complaint with this one is the keys are a bit clunky to press down (especially the space bar).
Thanks! ...
One More Thing! Mar 11, 2010Just one more thought. I have never, ever, known anyone who has left Medquist or Spheris and regretted it. They may bounce back and forth just to get by, but in the long run, when they are finally finished, they are finished. For all of those MTs who don't want to start over, please don't take that attitude. I did and it only got worse and when I did change it wasn't that bad at all. Again, could it get any worse? ...
And Another Thing........... Mar 15, 2010Not that I'm not glad it was an increase rather than a pay cut, but I think for a lot of us this "raise" is going to just even us out for when he start getting docked pay April 1. Funny that this "raise" is starting April 1, isn't it? ...
I Did The Right Thing It Seems May 02, 2010Now I know I did the right thing in not only leaving the Q but leaving the field altogether. I had another physical last week and my blood pressure was back down to 120/70, and my doctor was very happy when he learned I had quit.
They wasted no time in sending me labels to ship the computer back, though. Oh well.. they don't want the monitor, or mouse, or keyboard, so I'm keeping those! ...

Is There Such A Thing As Jul 13, 2013Urine welkenton? Not sure of spelling, since I'm not sure it's really a word. They could also be saying welkington. That's what the dictation sounds like and I've listened to it several times on numerous days. Can't find a reference to it anywhere and I've tried many variations. Wondering if it's a really old term or if I'm completely misunderstanding.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! ...
One More Thing Before I Go Nov 23, 2013I do believe now that they are starting to target those of us who were making 10/6. In the past, on my old accounts, I was audited no more than once a month. If I failed an occasional audit, they would wait another month to see how I did on that one and since I always passed, no action was taken. There was also no action after I took more than the allowable time off. Then, at the beginning of November, I was moved to another BOB. After being on the account for less ...
I Tried To Do The Right Thing But.... Dec 12, 2014I just can't stick it out 2 weeks :( Every job I type just stresses me out more and more. I am to the point that I don't care if I get my 20 hours PTO I have built up. I am emailing back and forth with my TSM right now and it sounds like she is reading off a script! "Take each report as they come and try to do your best to prevent errors" No $%^& lady!! Does she think we don't know that????? ARRRGGH I am so beyond frustrate ...
And Here's One Other Thing! Apr 01, 2015Just had a doctor dictate "potassium 40 mg," (should have been mEq) and then further down, "Levemir 40 mg" (should have been units). If I had not left blanks for them, that would have been 6 points off. It also compelled me to use my allotment of blanks for that report!
But they, of course, do not get penalized for their mistakes. On the other hand, our pay is docked. There is a double standard here that needs to be changed. ...

Would That TAA Thing Cover Something Like This? Mar 27, 2010The university down the street will be offering an undergraduate degree in Arabic. It is one of only 3 offer in this country. Now THAT ought to be useful. Sometimes, if you already have an undergraduate degree, they let you skip the basics and finish in 2 yrs. I would certainly consider that, especially since there appears to be no end in sight to our troubles with Arab-speaking countries. ...

OMG! This May Just Be The Most Annoying Thing Oct 20, 2010that I have had in a dictation, and I am sure that the dictator (PA-C) is annoyed as well. It's always annoying when she chitty-chats with the "girls in the office" while dictating, but in this dictation, one of the girls is mocking back everything the dictator says and continues to do so, after a little chuckle from dictator each time, to the point where the dictator finally has to tell her that this is important, it is for an attorney and she cannot mess it up. ...

Thx.
