Well that is real mature, calling me a rimrod. Why the name calling?
I am not telling everyone to leave this site. I gave info about MTSTars.net to let us, who have been on this site MTStars.com for many years to make up their own minds. YESTERDAY, I never got a straight answer about the owner of this board and now I know, but I was in the middle of asking questions earlier and my posts kept getting deleted. I was not calling anyone names, like YOU have and I am not insuling anyone like YOU have. NOT offshoring? Well he is from Pakistan am I right? I still do not know the truth. Can you supply me with more information about Dr. Ahmed?
Don't quote me but I think it just may be
a couple of dollars cheaper but AAMT members I think get a discount, but again don't quote me. It runs around $300 approximately. The test is given in one sitting but does have two parts. It is given at a testing center. Go over to aamt.org and they have instructions on what is necessary to register and take the test.
Good luck.
quote
I work in a urgent psychiatric center and the reports have quite a bit of quotes. If the doctor states "quote," I will put word for word what he said. You cannot change the wording to make it more appropriate. This includes grammer, i.e. I've, I'm and gonna.
I think it's more than $500, but don't quote me
Also, hopefully they're a decent company. I worked as an IC for a company for three years. Twice I didn't get my 1099 until two days before taxes were due in April after calling and emailing over and over again. And last year, after I quit, I never received it at all.
You said, I quote:
'You really dont type any lines (already typed for you) so why get paid by the line?'
How else do you want to get paid doing VR? Only for every mistake corrected?
LOL ! Where is the logic?
We are also paid for the reading of the lines, this is work too, not only the typing!
here is another brief quote from a website
"For example, says Suresh Menon of HealthScribe, one of the largest medical transcription companies"
Healthscribe was based in Sterling, Virginia. They joined up with Spheris. They will tell anyone that asks them, yes, we outsource to India.
Oh, I just love this quote --
"which requires extensive training and time to become proficient," Sims said.
Oh, and for all that extensive training, not to mention medical/pharmaceutical knowledge and proficiency with spelling and grammar, companies expect MTs to jump at an offer of 6 and 7 cpl??? Yeah, I'd chose this career path if I were a young person..Baaah
AAMT quote - who is up to
"If you can't lick 'em, join 'em; if you won't join 'em, form a competing organization." - unknown
not *taking up for her* quote - just....sm
stating facts, she is 19 and she is an adult and it is her body and ultimately her decision. Those 4 things happen to be factual (reality). Can you not face reality?
Nobody is *taking up for her* as you so stated......
Your comment, and I quote: (sm)
"I wouldn't count on it!!!". You don't know jack sheit.
I live in a huge metropolis with many many large university-based teaching hospitals where MTs are in greet need, and since I've been there over 20+, I'm top dog. So don't be questioning me, or discounting what I am saying. I think you wish you were in my position. Just another case of jealousy rearing its ugly head. If you live in the boondocks and make crap money, then move to a large city where you call roll in the dough working this profession.
that's deep. can i quote your brilliance?
so good with words. i bet you work for mq.
A famous quote comes to mind...
"Arguing with a fool is like arguing with a drunkard."
'Nuff said.
Don't base your quote on rates
Why are you a better deal than anyone else? It's not because of rate, it's because you care about your work and you're reliable -- what else?
ASK them what they've been paying -- they won't know because they probably won't understand their invoice. Ask them to send you a copy of the invoice. Reply to me privately if you need to, I'll help you figure it out.
But even if you get that, keep the focus of the discussion off price, keep it on your quality, your caring, your reliability, what you can offer them. Do you buy EVERYTHING based on price? If not, think about the things you buy based on quality and base your letter on that.
If your sole value is because you have the lowest price, you're fighting a losing battle.

"Duh" teacher quote of the week....sm
Last week a teacher wrote my sister that her daughter was easily distracted in the classroom. Well guess what? There are 32 kids in her class (above what the state requires but they have a teacher shortage) and my niece says the teacher lets the kids run wild. No duh - I'd have a hard time concentrating with 32 kids in the classroom as well if I had 32 other 5th graders in the room.
Again, quote mark problem in macro
Same problem as before with a macro that I posted, only one quote mark where there should be two:
In the macro where you see: cset:=("=)
there needs to be a quote mark on the other side of the equal sign: =
Selection.MoveEndUntil(cset:=("=), Count:=wdForward) should be: (substitute the quotemark for the word quotemark)
Selection.MoveEndUntil(cset:=(quotemark=quotemark), Count:=wdForward)
This quote mark needs to be inserted on both sides of the cset=("=) which is in the code twice. If this instruction doesn't make sense to you, please e-mail me and I will send you the macro.
Hope this helps.
As long as it takes, to quote good old Dr. Phil!
You're both worth it - go for it!! 
I quote a price per gross 65 char line, say 12 cpl, but then convert
I have one client who doesn't want bulk and is Franklin condensed 10; another is on Garamond 12 with a 1 inch margin R and L. I take a large block of type, put in a format that gives me 65 char per line and do a line count that way and get a price for the whole block, for example, 58 gross lines at 12 cpl = $6.96. Then I take the same type and format it as the client wishes, get a line count and divide the dollar amount by the lines. If their formatted version came to 28 lines, then 6.96 divided by 28, would come to 24 cpl for their format. I always include a line on the invoice to indicate their 65 char line rate. Something like
2586 extended lines at 0.24 cpl = $620.64
(your line rate converts to 0.12 cpl for standard 65 char line)
I always educate the client as to the industry standard of the 65 char line which allows clients to compare apples to apples...
"take one line from a post and use it against the person" - read your own quote

Google "Miscrosoft Word 2003" (use quote marks)
it's not my fault, the darn quote mark just doesn't post for some reason.
Okay, for some reason, the first quote at the front of qldc does not show up, but in the line autocorrect.entries.add name:=qldc" there needs to be a quote mark around each side of "qldc", not just at the end.
If you want to use this macro -- and find it won't work and are confused my instructions, please write me and I will e-mail the macro to you.
I really don't like the idea of people having to spend their meager pittance of a salary on expensive software to do such a simple thing.
But YOU are the one doing all the name calling
She simply asked you to knock it off....as so many of us would like to echo. Get over yourself and quit knocking everyone who posts on the board. There are some of us who would like to be informed and knowledgeable about our sister MTs and our industry as a whole. If you are not one of them, don't waste your time or our time by coming to this board at all, okay? Your whining is annoying
Hey, who is this guy calling old! How

Name calling
Name Calling or Substitutions of Names or Moral Labels:
This technique attempts to arouse prejudices in an audience by labeling the object of the propaganda campaign as something the target audience fears, hates, loathes, or finds undesirable.
Dangers inherent in name calling: In its extreme form, name calling may indicate that the propagandist has lost his sense of proportion or IS UNABLE TO CONDUCT A POSITIVE CAMPAIGN INTELLIGENTLY.
Before using this technique, the propagandist must weigh the benefits against the possible harmful results.
Have you tried calling?
I know when I had A problem they were able to answer my questions. Have you tried calling them? :)
If he keeps calling you, tell him
him for harassment. I'm pretty sure he would not have handed the title over like that without his money. If she owed him money, where is his proof? receipts showing balance due? Please do not hand over money to someone who may well be a heartless opportunist.
I'm very sorry for your loss. Be well.
calling you?
they say that girls in the trailer park go round the outside, round the outside. I wouldn't be bragging about servicing the neighborhood's husbands.
No need for name-calling here.
The tone of this chain is not malicious nor judgemental. Please don't come on here carelessly calling people names. This woman had a life or death situation on her hands and handled it the best way she could. She came here to help another human being in trouble by giving her valuable first-hand information. In other threads, this malicious tone may be okay, but not here, okay? Please just stay away if you can't bear the comments, okay? These people are hurt enough already. Thank you.
OK without the name calling....sorry
So do you think a nationalized health plan is a good thing for this country?
No name-calling, please. NM

What does name calling accomplish. It seems like you and another
poster calling a person names is no better than the cherry picker.
Why the name calling? You are sad. The comment sm
was made because he was for spheris and the outsouring they do, and yes they don't advertise jobs here because they outsoure. You are the one that needs to do some soul seardhing and grow up.
I don't think ANY of the name-calling or slurs is okay.
It seems like as soon as someone posts something against the "prevailing opinion," it's okay to call names and make all kinds of nasty remarks about them personally. Not just in this topic, but in many others. There seems to be an attitude of "they said something bad first, so it's okay to say the most hateful and hurtful thing I can think of."
I disagree with your post above, but I certainly wouldn't call you a name or imply that you are deficient, lacking, or stupid in some way for having that opinion.
I don't personally think the "single mother" is relevant to the topic at all. It's a bad thing to have happened REGARDLESS of the person's age, marital status, or number of children, but I also don't think it's EXTRA bad because she's a single mother - and I don't think that's how she meant it.
? about "cold calling."
For those of you who have acquired accts through cold calling, what do you suggesting saying? I did get one account this way, but cant remember how I managed. Any tips appreciated!
Thanks,
Florida girl!
who's whining here besides you. i'm calling
re: Susie-LD Calling
This is true--we were all told to switch to a LD carrier by our transcription company to use for dictation and many of us were contacted by the phone company withing 4 to 5 months of doing this and told that we could not use it for business purposes. They actually called the numbers and knew that we were calling various places for dictation so some of use were switched back to using the 800 numbers
You are calling me perverted
when you come on this board with all of this stupid, juvenile crap. You really need to grow up.
Who are you calling stupid?
Well, if they are soooo stupid, explain how they are the largest transcription company in the US?
Perhaps you know something about the packet that we don't, because in case you didn't know this - NO ONE GOT THEIR PACKET YET! DUH - Talk about stupid - look in the mirror.
How do YOU know so much, huh?
PS - While looking in the mirror, go brush those yellow-stained teeth, comb that nasty wirey, brillo-pad hair, squeeze some of this nasty whiteheads, and get a face lift - because ain't no one want someone like you working for them!
I agree with you about calling 911. sm
Have it checked out.
Here's what fortunately happened to my stubborn sister.
She just happened to luck out because she was in a room full of people at a big birthday bash for a friend. She didn't feel good, a bit of a nagging headache, but thought it was no big deal until her head started to ache so bad that she dropped into a chair. She was about 5 blocks from the hospital at the time and someone called rescue. She had a brain aneurysm rupture, but she made it. After a month in the hospital she is "normal" with only a slight problem with short term memory.
The "moral" of this story is that if my stubborn sister had been home by herself, thinking, "maybe something is wrong" she would have taken an aspirin and went to lie down.
Don't mess with chest pain. Better to find out that you've pulled a muscle or something.
is calling, and then my phone co....sm
My phone company went and put voicemail on my line when I got DSL (didn't ask for voicemail) so now I use that voicemail as my secretary. I can first *see* who is calling on caller ID and then NOT take the call, and they get thrown into voicemail. After working hours, I call them back. If it is an emergency, I CAN take the call. It has helped me tremendously. If they leave no message, they never get a call back. *LOL* (No message left on voicemail to me merely equates to *not important*!!)
I know its hard! I have one calling me and
another poster names. Well, actually calling me the name I call myself! ha! But I think the insult is supposed to be that no one else will hire me!! Isn't that just so illogical? Its unreal. I know its hard - sometimes one is afraid that these ignoramus types will think if they get the last word its cause they sure made their point! But we all have to realize that its just not to feed them - don't feed the trolls! Don't feed the trolls...
Have you tried calling the pound?
Wonder what they'd do with the goat?
I was visiting my MIL this week, and there were three beagles running around her yard. They kept coming up on her porch, so I led them out to the road. They followed me quite happily. Then somebody drove up in a truck and just observed us. I wandered over to ask if he was missing any beagles, and he was the dog catcher! He had been called about FOUR beagles. I just told him they weren't mine, but they sure were friendly! He asked if they'd come to me when called, and I said SURE! But then I left him to call the dogs himself, LOL. I can't help it if dogs don't like him. :oD
calling card
I used mine when I was out of town, and my minutes started as soon as I was connected to the dictation system. I diconnected in between reports when I proofread. It was cumbersome to do that, but saved some of my minutes.
Calling all ICs and subcontractors
I'm thinking of switching to an IC. Tell me the absolute best thing about being an IC/subcontractor and the absolute worst thing.
Thanks.
Calling Delaware MTs...
There are two of us here in Delaware so far that would like to get together and have lunch. We are planning on meeting at the Ruby Tuesdays in Middletown (Rt. 299) at 12 noon on Tuesday, April 3rd. We would love to have others come and have a nice day out. 
Try calling Dictaphone and ask.

Cold calling sm
Has anybody used cold calling to get their own accounts? If so, can you give me advice on how to go about doing this?
I'm also marketing with direct mail, etc., but would like to do some cold calling. I heard it works.
Thanks!
Now see THATs when I'd be calling the cops
if they are definitely trying to turn the knob - not just jostling it when trying to leave a hanger.
No different than calling an MT a pig. Not polite
