I guess there are different degrees of severity with stuttering, as there are with most things.

I certainly am aware when I do it, I'm sure it's noticeable, and it's terribly frustrating and embarrassing.  It doesn't mean (I hope) that I've lost the little intelligence I might have, just that I maybe have a little problem with my wiring.  LOL.

I'm sure your friend is a very competent physician.  In a field where malpractice lawsuits are filed on a relatively routine basis (with or without merit), I doubt he would still be a physician if he didn't have a high degree of competence and intelligence.

I also don't think people should be so quick to negatively judge a person with this type of disability (or make fun of a person) because someday, they might find themselves with the same ailment.  As I found out, it can happen in a split second. 

Interesting - my birthday is Saturday and it will be even more interesting to see what this year holds.  Even with the economic mess that our country is mired in, it is a blessing for me to wake up every morning, come to work and live to see another day if God wills it.  Happy Valentine's Day to all of you and have a good weekend.

I must honestly say it is hard to demand respect looking like this.  Thanks for making me smile!  

It really does take unique people to be able to work while the kids are screaming in the background, the dog is bugging you because he wants to go outside for the hundredth time today, you know you only have one more load of laundry to catch you up for the day, and all the while you have the dictator who thinks it's ok to talk while he stuffs his mouth full of food, or to sit in the lounge where everybody is taking a break and making plans or whatever.  Oh well, from the looks of thes print on these sweat pants, I haven't lost my sense of humor anyway.  It is hard to be real serious when you are over 40 and running around with pink flames on your clothing, sheeesh! 

after submitting your resume before you heard from them? 

but I started no later than 2 weeks after all my paperwork was signed and sent in.  So I don't know if they finished the background check before I started or not.  About a month later, I got a notice from the DOT notifying me that they checked my driver's license records, but that's the only info I got back.

I also have to agree with several posts above about the comments about being a hospital employee.  I also was hired as an employee of the hospital, and yes, the process is a little more involved, but it was no more involved than when I was hired for an inhouse position at a local hospital.  It is just the hospital's requirements.  Diskriter did pay for everything and I have no indictation whatsoever they they sold my info to telemarketers. 

The pay is average, but I also agree with the poster above that it is offset by the fact that you are working on only one account, plus the benefits are better than any national out there.   I  am making more $$ than in my 15 years of MTing than I ever have (45K+).    

Oh, another plus is that they do pay an hourly wage for downtime (system problems, no work).  This is also a big plus in my opinion.

Good Luck.        

I need to find a new IC job.  To make a long story short, I work for a very small local company as an IC (just 3 transcriptionists).  I guess the reason why I stay is because it's so flexible.  I can work in the morning, have the afternoons off and then work again in the late evening when my daughters are asleep.  I have 24 hour TAT.   I'm supposed to be paid on the 1st and 15th of every month.  For the last two months instead of the 1st and 15th, I've been getting my paycheck on the 13th and 28th if I'm lucky.  Right now I'm still waiting for my check from the 1st. 

Again, I know I'm crazy to stay, so you don't have to say it for me,  but this is my first IC job and I'm a little scared to leave. 

I guess what I'm asking is do you know of a good company that hires IC that use lines rather than hours or is flexible with hours so I can try to keep my same schedule?  I know there have been a lot of posts in the past about this, but I was hoping for some recent information from someone who works for a good company.

I'm just so frustrated at this point.
