in the pre-toddler stage. Now that they are preschool/school age, I find it impossible to keep focused on work and them too. I had to resort to working in the evenings when my husband was home so I could not be distracted. Good Luck!

Babies
I am so sick of hearing all the complaining. NO everything is not perfect on my end of things but where is it? Everyone that has to work, wherever they work, has problems on their job. Thank God you have a job, ya know??? You could be on the unemployment line or having to collect welfare or working at McDonald's while your kids are in daycare and you bring home 2 dollars a month because daycare costs are so extreme. My gosh, you think that MTs would be happy that they can stay at home and make some money at the same time. And YES, you should be grateful that your job allows you to be at home while doing your job. You should be glad that MT has taken that kind of turn to benefit us. We are not entitled to anything but what we earn.
GEEEZZZZZZ TIRED OF HEARING THE COMPLAINING. How about being THANKFUL for once?
babies...
Who is forcing you to read these posts or even come on this website? Frankly, I come here to vent sometimes and to read the vents/concerns/comments of people who have the same job I have. Most people don't have a clue what an MT is - that's why I like this board.
Just move along if you don't agree with someone's opinion - your judgment of it does not make it less valid.
BTW, we do our work at home because it benefits the owners of the companies, not because it benefits us. I pay about $600 a year for high-speed internet access and the electricity to run the computer, print out my own accounts specs., etc. This save the company a BUNDLE of money. Why do you think the CEOs and CFOs of MQ, Heartland, Spheries, are making high 6-figure incomes?
Your comment about not being entitled to anything but what we earn is supremely ignorant. I've been doing this for 3 decades and I now make less than I made 10 years ago, even I know more, type just as fast and transcribe faster because I use text expanders. I am no longer paid for headers, footers, and spaces. The employer no longer furnishes my office space and equipment - I have to supply all that on my own. What I EARN is not what I am WORTH.
FP/IM/OB/GYN/PEDI. Babies and Beyond! :)
Keeps it interesting. You never know what you're going to have next. I do scalps to the soles of the feet and everything in between. Teething to hemorrhoids. :)
I think my all time favorite was a foot sprain. This was many, many years ago so I'm not breaching patient confidentiality, but it was late at night and I was punch drunk tired and the guy's name was Ronald McDonald. All I could think of was the big shoes. I laughed until I cried.
For the most part, my notes are for people that are doing pretty much okay. I could never do oncology or anything. I'd just feel bad. Probably would really cry. Kudos to those of you who do.
Oh my golly! She has babies, and you're telling
and not to think about the present! That is just insane, sorry. She has little babies and that needs to be taken into the equation. Period. They are the equation. Kids love to spend time with kids. What a philosophy! Sheesh. Your post just really topped all of them tonight. Why do I bother reading this nonsense?
Those are easier to do.
It makes them look good in front of a supervisor who is unaware!
I think they are easier to get, too, sm
but I only worked at MQ for a short while over a year ago. I agree that the atmosphere is better by far, too.
We know they get easier after a while; the woman would just like

NP easier to understand....
but they do go on and on and on forever....just can't keep it brief.
That's easier said than done these days. sm
Even the American products are built overseas or have some ties to offshoring.
easier way to calculate
an easier way to calculate is that it is said that typically it takes 3X as long to transcribe so if itis 45 mins, multiply by 3 and divide by 60 to figure out the amount in hours so 45 X 3 = 135, divided by 60 = 2.25 two and a quarter hours.
but it wouldn't be easier for someone who has

would probably be easier to post the ones who don't

Nothing easier than self deceit?
I was BEGGED by my supervisor to hang in there and flex. Told that things would get better. A bunch of lies. Lies make me angry. Especially lies involving my wallet.
Sorry we aren't all half vulcan and see the world with cold professional logic right along with you. Surprise, some of us get emotional about our paychecks, especially during a recession. But if you're that embarrassed, don't read about it, and hang out with the other vulcans.
If I kicked you in the shin, would remain the picture of diginity and grace, or would you scream because it hurt? You are only a paragon of dignity because you personally has hurt you - yet.
I was thinking it might be easier to figure out
nm
LOL. Perhaps I should stick with MQ--easier to spell...sm
Thank you, me, for the info in your previous posts.
Faster, easier, and more reliable than Autocorrect.

Is there an easier way to find out if companies offshore?
I have worked for 3 companies that all offshored and were absolutely not forthcoming about it upfront. I never want to work for one again. Is there a list somewhere or am I banging my head on the wall. Again.
Dictaphone EXT or Chartscript-Which do you think is an easier platform.
I have worked on Dicatphone and thought that system was fairly easy to learn. How does Chartscript compare to that platform and production wise. thanks
as the poster below says, clinic work is not easier
I work for a large multispecialty clinic, general surgery - transcribe rotator cuff surgery, hernia or breast reconstruction; urology - transcribe the urinary system; orthopedic - joints and bones and muscles, ENT issues, cardiologisy and veins, arteries and valves, dermatology, neurology and nervous system.
MQ speech platform MUCH easier and MT friendly than TT's
Dictatphone Exspeech is just awful !!!! You will see, I guarantee you !!!
DQS is excellent editing platform.
Dermatology typically an easier or more difficult specialty? Thanks. nm
xxxxxxxx
That always makes it better. I do local to Houston and since I live there, it seems easier
nm
I do my daily or every couple days after my shift. Much easier (nm)

issues talk to lawyer. This is easier than starving?

I started out in radiology. It's so much easier than acute care.
Never figured out why they separate it from the rest since it's just another specialty. If you can do acute care, you can do radiology, so might as well give it a whirl! Gotta be better than Softscript.
Much easier and better process of doig this, as I worked at a hospital on ExText nm

IMO, it's just easier to be rude hiding behind the guise of a screen name. The hateful ones here
It's likely that the hostile MTs that constantly spew negative remarks are the same ones who are too passive to speak up for themselves in the real world. They are basically cowards that take crap all day then come here and anonymously take their pinned up frustrations out on everyone else.
I have seen this on many message boards, but for whatever reason, MT Stars is the absolute worst for this. Isolation must be a huge factor. Some of these gals just need to get out once in a while. JMO
Better be glad you got the easier dictators soon, because you're time is coming for the ^^^REAL^^
dictators! Be glad you got off now. I wondered where my better dictators went the last week or so !!!!! Lucky you !!!!!
I can always tell when the TT favorite MT's are off, because I get their dictators -- making it easier for me to get my line count. Yea !
TT is constantly hiring, so the above scenario is a norm.
