In Reply to: Do you believe in horoscopes, astrology, biorhythms, - Do you believe?
BUT - you have to do your own or have somebody knowledgeable do it for you. You really have to know what you're doing and understand it. The 5% that I don't get right is because of "pilot error" - screwed up on the math - AGAIN!!!

You are absolutely correct.

Absolutely correct! And . . .
I've been an MT since 1978 and the MT world revolved quite nicely in the days when we were all in-house and given credit for having a brain and being able to figure out how to compose a coherent paragraph with the crap dictation we were given to work with. QA never existed then and everything was just fine. No lawsuits that I can recall, so this is just more red-tape nitpicking on the part of the at-home services to kiss the client's butt and make them think they're getting something special.
So lame.
Absolutely correct!
Stupid people remain stuck in neutral. That's why they're stupid.
You are absolutely correct. Here's my fix.
I think that probably the easiest solution for those companies is to just hire employees. When it comes to trying to meet client TATs, scheduling shifts, etc., ICs are mainly a pain, anyway.
Absolutely correct!
People who knock college are just jealous of the people who did have the ambition and brains to go, and spend their lives complaining, passing blame, and resenting others (and themselves).
You are absolutely correct
My oral surgery practice wants me to put cc, not mL. The paying customer's preference comes first!
Happy Fourth of July, all, by the way.
that would be absolutely correct!!
You are absolutely correct...
However, I worked on-site and only made $25,000.00 after 17 years, started at $7.00 an hour. So, the ones who say they made $75,000.00 are not giving you all of the facts.
The realm of an MT per hour is from 13-17 an hour; look it up. It's true. However, if you have your own accounts (which I do), I charge more per line and have templates set up so that I breeze through my dictators that I've done for the past 10 years, which yields me around 25-30 an hour. These circumstances are not common, I know that now.
I think you're doing great! Keep up the good work! I'm not here to blast ya'! You are the wave of the future; no MT will get rich and never have been rich.
I think some of us who have been in this profession though see that it's tough to raise rates at this time because of the fear of losing the account to a large company. I'm just a small guy, I don't require much really, so I'm happy with what I make. I also love being at home full-time. I'm able to manipulate my schedule and not feel so "hum-drum." I learn something new every day, not all pretty either, but I've learned more specialties working online than on-site.
At this point in my life (I'm in my 30s), this profession suits me just fine. Advice to new MTs, give it a whirl! You may be surprised that you really can make some money if you just relax and stop listening to the "nay-sayers." As a matter of fact, I have never done VR, but think it would be interesting. If pretty much everything is there, then all the better; this may be another good way for a new MT to break into the business and learn is with the VR...
Endorsed by an MT who still feels "liked, wanted, and needed" in this profession! 
You are absolutely correct.
It should be 'were given'. Before having children and staying home to MT, I spent 6 years teaching English and grammar - 'were' in this case is grammatically correct.
Yes you are absolutely correct....
It is the on-site jobs that gets ya' out there.... Some docs are just great payers and know good work when they see it. I think they like local because you are familiar with all of the things that go into that report, i.e., referring physicians, facilities, diagnostic centers, etc. It saves them the headache of correcting all of those mistakes.
My own personal PCP has complained to me in an office visit about the local hospital that uses an outside service and can never get his name right. The problem is that the physicians are not the ones making the decisions, it is the hospitals that make those decisions as far as in the hospital environment. I know physicians at the hospital that I worked at that were p'od when they found out we would no longer be transcribing their reports. They were just so set in their ways and they got good TAT and a good quality report - but no more, and yes I still to this day hear terrible feedback about the outsourced company and how the doctors spend countless hours correcting things. End of Story... {sigh}
You're absolutely correct sm
I've had editors tell me that they love getting my reports with blanks because they know they can go directly to the blank and try to fill it in, they say some MTs they have to almost completely re-type the report which takes more time than typing it in the first place. I know this to be true from my own editing. I tried to work with the MTs if they could be salvaged. If they still insisted on not doing their job, I did my job until they were relieved of their work duties. :)
AFib is absolutely correct...nm
:
Above two replies absolutely correct!
Rules and standards are necessary but they should be uniform. ''Rules'' cannot be followed when they are arbitrary--the individual preferences or whims of whatever QA person gets the report. Great posts!
Absolutely...this is the place to correct
and please correct me before I send a mailing to doctors! I do think cai would appreciate it in that respect. Definitely, help a sister out when you get a chance!
poster above is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT...sm
A tech support person who used to work for a certain company I used to work for...well, we knew one another before and after we both quit, he gave me the scoop on what these companies do. It is underhanded and deceitful and downright dishonest. that is why I do NOT trust NOT ONE MTSO anymore....they are all dishonest......I don't care how good a company is stated to be on any board.
All they care about is the mighty dollar...the owners of all of these companies....they are getting richer and richer and some of us are one foot away from being homeless.
I have no respect for any of these companies, nada, zero.....
Absolutely correct! Snow Bunny is right! nm

Mom's a smart lady and absolutely correct!
Online dating also falls into the desperate category. If someone doesn't want to meet people the conventional, in-person way, they have to be:
1. Socially challenged.
2. Facially challenged.
3. Vertically challenged.
4. Weight challenged.
There are a lot of people out there who do that kind of thing and that's their choice, but I'd rather meet face to face instead of trolling the computer from behind a monitor looking for goofs that no one in the real world would want.
Oh please, drop the drama - she is absolutely correct.

Do it correct always. It will learn. Everyone has to do it correct all the time. nm

you too are absolutely correct! Client pref rules..NM

You're absolutely correct - they always pull that card when they have nothing else

You read my post ABSOLUTELY correct. Supervisors don't need my appreciation nor
do I need their's. We all just want to get paid if you are honest. I don't have time to worry if I am appreciated by MQ. I just want them to pay me for an honest day's work. I guess that shows they like me, they really, really like me. Talk is cheap. I get it all the time from MQ CEO/management, how much I am appreciated. I just want to paid for my time and don't want to hear all the talk. I mean who really cares. So if they appreciate me and don't pay me for my efforts, what do I do with this "appreciation"? Bank it?
I absolutely agree with you. You've made it grammatically correct
hope this all comes through.
Your change is much better than the one suggested below which totally changes the sentence and would not be correct in my opinion.
I absolutely love mine...see message
I have health issues and this bed has been wonderful for me. My husband up until we got our sleep number bed was always up by 4-5 in the morning because of pain. He hasn't had any pain since. It was well worth the money for us.
AS THEY GET PAID ON TIME AND IT IS CORRECT
while we sit her typing for you fools and YOU RIP US OFF. GONE, OUTTA HERE.
Yes, your auto correct!!! I use it ALL the time! No need for expander here!
I absolutely love Pogo, although not much time to play these days...nm

"Looped with a vessel loop" is correct - I hear this ALL the time. NM

I use mine all the time.
If you are just starting to use it, I would rotate it out for your chair about every other hour. It will take a little getting used to at first but you can get the little stands that the ball sits on. It's just a small plastic ring that the ball sits on to keep it from rolling. I haven't used one tho so not sure how well the ring works.
I have learned to do little exercised on mine while I work. I move my foot pedal from one foot to the other and do leg raises and roll the ball back and forth just a little bit with one foot at a time. Lord knows our circulation starts to suffer when we sit in our chairs as many hours as we do.
By the way... after doing this just for a week or so, my lower back pain is so much better.
Mine too and 3/4 of the time I have to look at his back
while he puts everying in the computer. It's impersonal, it's rude, and it's the way of the future.
This has been a theme of mine for some time
I see so many people saying they just want a job to stay home with the kids. They are not saying this is what they love, just a way not to have to work outside while they manage several kids/babies underneath their feet. How do you expect to have the dignity we once had, not like that. I remember the time I could name my price, say 25 years ago. I surely did not get into this to work at home, otherwise I would never have spent those 30+ years in an office setting.
mine sucks snot all the time...allergies I guess.

Absolutely. Such a time-saver, and in this instance, money saver. nm

If I boil mine ahead of time, I go ahead and peel off the shell after they have (sm)
been sitting in a pan of cold water for about 30 minutes.
If you are careful with putting the correct report in the correct report shell and patient, you will
not have any problems. I only take away this option when someone is careless. There can be NO room for error on this. One mistake can be very serious. Many do it well though, so just double check and you will be fine.
Funny! Mine is almost as large, and I don't mind cleaning mine!
It's no problem at all. Besides, I'll take lots of oodles of square footage any day of the week over living in a sardine can!
Absolutely, I absolutely love my job and

Mine isn't like that. Mine is 2. All are programmed different.

Not anymore. For some time now, I've been working 32 hours and am considered full time to receive

Working full time at home with small children is hard but part time works great
is almost impossible. You will either have to work when your spouse is home or for only a few hours during the day and then more when they are asleep. I work part time at home and my kids (2&5 now) have done very, very well. They are great kids, very well behaved, don't get into much. I stop working to check on them/give them some attention every hour or so while I work (5 hours each afternoon or so) and they get all my attention in the morning and at night. It has worked out beautifully for us.
Yeah, our choc. lab does that from time to time - makes it interesting!- nm

Cannot legally require you to commit time to them as an employee and then not pay you for that time.

full-time in office/ part-time at home
I currently work full-time in a physician's office and have started part-time online. My hope is to eventually go full-time online; however that will be done the road for a single mom with a son in college. My suggestion would be try to type part-time for a MTSO and see how that goes i.e work and money with a decision down the road for ultimately being home all the time. A guaranteed paycheck is always a necessity for me. Hope this helps.
I work part-time hours with full-time pay...
I made over 26,000 this year...
I work a full time and a part time, but not sure about 2 full-time...
My hubbie is disabled and I am the only one in my family working also, so I fully understand. You will not have a day off at all working 2 full-time as that is going to be the only way you will get in all your hours. I work one job in the mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the other from 5 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and do have off one day a week, but if I had to get in the extra 15 hours to make the other job full-time I am not sure how I would do that other than lose my only day off. Also, make sure you have your account specifics in front of you at all times because you will get yourself confused as to who is what and having notes will help in that area. Good luck to you, as it is possible, but forget about your house being clean, having any social life, etc. Feel free to email me personally if you just need someone to talk to, as I have been where you are and still am.
Maybe they will. Give it time. It takes time to set up links.
OSI, Precyse, etc tell us more.
full time, part time, statutory
newly defined full time...
newly defined part time....(which is an added classification)
I believe statutory just was not mentioned because there is nothing new about the definition of statutory.
full time/part time/statutory
The definition of full time is new.
There is a new classification called part time.
I believe statutory was not mentioned merely because that has not changed and they do not receive PTO/benefits.
I work 1 full-time, 2 part-time....nm
NM
you are absolutely right and I know because I know
which is just as good as knowing any other way.
a policy of kindness is the only *way* to go....
