I don't believe in "the one"
Some people are more complacent than others and can have a successful relationship with just about anyone.
Others are harder to please or pickier, and there are people that those folks who fall into this category can have a successful relationship with, and others with whom they cannot.
The key is to find out which TYPE of person is best matched to your personality, your goals, your life-style and find someone like that.
There is no ONE person for each of us, but some personality types that mesh better than others.
"The right way"
I've been in that situation myself. What I have done is, if the dictation is absolutely absurd and I was expected to transcribe it as such, then at the bottom of the report, in very small font, I typed in : transcribed verbatim.
"The Letter"
I got my "letter" from MQ today, and immediately called my supervisor to tell him that once that goes into effect I will no longer to ASR.......... hopefully everyone will do this (or at least the majority) and MQ will hear us ?? 
"the cone"
When my little boy (dog) was neutered, I thought for sure the vet would make us use "the cone." However, he said to just get an all white cotton t-shirt and you can slip it over the dog's head and the dog's legs fit perfectly in the arm holes. The cotton t-shirts are nice and soft and come down long enough to cover that private area!
If you put "the patient" you won't need to worry about it. sm
In fact, most accounts want "the patient" due to confidentiality reasons.
she thinks she is "the mama"
riiiiiggghhht.
"The Language of Medicine" sm
is a very good book and very thorough. I would recommend it highly.
Married? When did you know that your mate was "the" one for you? sm
I just got engaged and knew the minute I met him that he was the one for me. He felt it too - we just waited until we dated a while before making it official.
How about you?
Yes, it begins with a "T" but don't know what you mean by "the line" (see msg)
Yes, that is how I quit, just couldn't take the crap software for one more minute. I had heard VR was coming, and there was no way, Jose, I was planning on editing any Indians. My friends who are still there, some are editing, and are making less than half of what they made transcribing. Boy am I glad I got out of there. Now work for a company with a great platform, and they don't offshore.

You never saw "The Sound of Music"?
According to the song, Maria was a flibbertigibbet.
Could you not put like "the patient" in most places rather than he/she? nm

This was just TOO funny! As soon as I viewed this on YouTube, I immediately thought of everyone at MT Stars.
ENJOY!

No, she does not.She will be asking us "the govt" to supply her necessities
and we will do it. You and I, who carry Wal-Mart purses (speaking for myself, of course). Makes me mad too. I also noticed the Budweiser can. Jaundiced eye? I think not.
I agree with "the word" but it can sure help you transcribe everything
:i
They even say they work for "the company that cannot be named"
Most of the replies are from MQers.
You're caught! LOL
Dum-dum-dum-dummmmmbbbbbbbb!!
Cool avatar, though.
"The big kids" don't like MPI, but I do. It helped me immeasurably when SM
I was first working. I have since bought them as gifts to starting-up MTs. I like the book. I have not seen Stedman's, but I don't generally trust Stedman's at all for anything. I use the books, I have a bunch of them, but I don't like them much. They're just all we have and it's better than nothing.
I think it speaks volumes that they have a "correction card" included with each book.
I've been nicknamed "The Whisperer"
She knows that I an understand people with accents in general, especially ESL as an MT. So she had me "interpret" for her yesterday. She tried to cancel a service and the co wanted to assess a fee. A rep called to let her know that they were waiving the fee, and he left a voice-mail (thick Middle Eastern accent). She calls to tell me me she only understands that he says [the name of the co] and "call customer service."
So she does a 3-way call for me to listen to the saved voice-mail (Message Center). I listened, and she said wait and was getting ready to play it again. I said, "Mom...um...I understand," and proceeded to tell her everything that he said. Her words, "You understand that?!?" Yup! She laughs hard and says, "Hey, I'm going to put you on the Oprah Winfrey show as 'The Whisperer!'" I think all my neighbors heard me laugh.
dictated "the patient will use acyclovir"
and eScription text on screen was "the patient will use a cycle of beer" HAHA! It's Miller time.
"The Death" of Medical Transcription
I have to agree with you wholeheartedly. I think it is a shame what has happened to our profession.
It seems that people with 25-30+ years of experience are either transcription service owners or instructors in medical transcription. Very few transcriptionists with
a lot of experience are doing "sweat shop" transcription.
I feel sorry for those students who are being misguided that they will become transcriptionists and be able to work at home and make a lot of money. I am afraid they are going to be in for a big surprise!
I do not understand how medical documentation ever transpired into a production-oriented job. Production WILL have priority over quality when it comes to a paycheck. Why bother looking up terms in reference books or on the internet? That takes a lot of time and can affect an MT's paycheck.
I compare a medical Transcriptionist to a robot -God forbid you go to the bathroom and stop production!
Perhaps a Walmart greeter would be a more pleasant and less stressful work environment!
The plastic surgeon on "The Doctors"
is very reputable. I would go to his website (can find through the show's website) and either email him or call for information/opinion.
The key is to deal with someone you know is on the ball and above board.
I just said hello to "the paper boy." He is about 50, drives a nice car and seems happy.

Read it again and it said "The best advice I could ever give is NEVER quit your job...
That's not advice, that's rubbing salt in her wound. Your other piece of advice about getting a loan is basically stating the obvious. I'm sure the OP realizes she may have to borrow some money. I think she was probably asking what should she do about the employer treating her unprofessionally.
Basically, you gave lousy advice and your only intent was to kick her when she was down.
I have a PA-C that starts every sentence with.."The pateint will...." ARGH!!. nm

Lighten up! I don't see anything wrong with discussing "the Zachary segment" sm
I am a huge AI fan and plan my whole day around the show. Thank Goodness it only comes on twice a week!
Good to hear an update. See message about "the projects" :)
I got the same deal with my ex. He wouldn't leave me alone because he wanted his beloved 3 bedroom ranch house.
I gave him the house (with my teeny share of equity) and moved into a teeny apartment with my 2 kids. HUGE bedroom bathroom and living room, teeny kitchen, great neighborhood. We all bunked in the same bedroom as there was room for a double bed, single bed and a crib with enough room left over to dance and play with toys. My kids were 5 and 2. We loved that place and it's probably because we finally had some peace and some fun.
My ex did the same thing. He accused me of moving my kids to the "projects" because I wasn't good enough to give them a nice home like the one he had. He still has that house and he lives in it alone and has for nearly 20 years. The last girflriend lasted 6 years and finally gave up on him.
He gave up on his kids almost 10 years ago and they gave up on him the day we moved into the "projects."
Best move I ever made. Happily married now for 13 years with 2 more kids that are considered my older kids' brother and sister, though their donor dad always insisted on calling them "half". "He's not your brother, he's your half-brother."
Idiot
Be strong, hang in there and don't give in. 
P.S. I wasn't looking for another man, I just got lucky I guess. He does forget to take the trash out sometimes though.
I heard a doc that I transcribe for call it "the product of conception."

You'll hear this claim in all fields by "the suits"
I've said it before and I'll say it again...back that sh^t up with a specific name or a place so there can be actual consequences. I can throw anything in quotes and say I heard it from somewhere or someone. It holds no water and only serves to get people workedup for an invisible fight.
Am I doubting what she heard is true? Maybe, maybe not. It can't be proven because there is no factual evidence provided. However, my mother was an LPN and she always said her higherups referred to her as nothing more than an overpaid candystriper or overpaid a$$ wiper. My father, a machine mechanic, said he was referred to as an overpaid janitor. It's a wicked old and wicked lame argument to get the reader or listener riled up to basically do nothing and it's amateur stuff. But, that's just me.
SHOW US THE NAMES! Then we can gather our pitchforks, burning keyboards, and Betty Crocker aprons and go to war!

Spitting into the wind...SM
I usually don't get involved in these threads, but I'll go ahead and give it a try for once:
You're trying to battle the Information Revolution, immediate business profiteering, AND the need to provide needed medical services in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible.
It's NOT going to work any more than denying the Industrial Revolution (or the Agricultural or Iron Ages) did for those who tried then, and yes, plenty did--long dead now, names not recorded.
Sorry, but best advice is accept inevitable change and invest your time and energy in changing with it. These are fascinating and exciting times. Enjoy!
I hear ya on that one!! I know that if I ever wind up in this hospital
I will get a copy of my medical records and sue the pants off of the hospital for incompetency in care and it will fall back on the outsource transcription company because of their mistakes. I know I can sue the doctor individually, but he didn't make the mistakes that could have killed me - the transcription service would be making the mistakes!! $$$
Tips for getting a second wind on third shift
I work a split shift, and the second part goes to 2 a.m. At about 11 p.m. or midnight, I hit the wall and I find that coffee or cola no longer works so well. I was wondering if anyone could please share some tips to stay alert. I need to learn how to get a second wind, but I also don't want to take so long a break that I am too tired to get back to work again... at that hour of the morning (after midnight), that would be really bad. 2 a.m. can be done, I just need and would so appreciate tips. Thanks for your help. Until then, I am going now to make coffee, though I am not sure how much that and the sugar in it will help right now!. Thanks again for your input.
Havre, Montana, right now 17 below 0, wind chill is 37 below 0.
Now that is a bit nippy.

Lots of wind, rain from Alberto -
The year went by F-A-S-T! Getting lots of bad weather from Alberto. My satellite is going in and out - no internet, no work. Think I'll take a nap!!
I feel bad for the people in Colorado and Wyoming who had so much wind and cold
weather. This would be worse than a hurricane because if your roof blows off, you are in severe sub-0 temperatures with blowing snow. No way to get any kind of help, and no way to stay warm.
Tough question, I love so may, Definitely Gone with the wind, can I count the 6 Star wars as one?

little red notebook
go to horusdevelopement.com. Your can use it free for 30 days and then buy it, I think for 20.00.
Notebook ?
Do you think this is adequate for a notebook for what we do? Thanks!

Notebook if you have the $$$$$
If ALL you are doing is wordprocessing, which is what transcription is classified, you do not have a need it for graphics etc., and you have the $$$ to put in to what you need, a notebook is best because it is portable. BUT -- remember that notebooks no longer come with serial ports and few companies will include it unless it is a custom build, so a serial foot pedal cannot be used for transcription. I have tried many different adapters, and they do not work; it was explained that the TRUE serial port technology is so old that it is frequently incompatible with the USB technology used in the new operating systems, and that is why an adapter will not work. If you would like more info on your question, feel free to email me.
Another notebook ?
I really know nothing about these sort of things and would like a second opinion, so thank you for your patience in answering these questions for me!!
I looked at Sam's and basically saw nothing that was decent in memory and still high prices. I've been looking at Dell's website and saw they have a new line out for businesses. There are 3 here I am looking at. Each looks the same for memory. I really do not see what the difference is on each one or if one would be better than the other for my needs. Could someone please take a look at these 3 and give me their opinion.
For the money and with the amount of memory being offered, it seems that Dell is the way I need to go.
I appreciate the help! :o)
