I definitely think they are one of the best out there. We also have been talked through issues over the phone and also had a warranty in which they came out and fixed it right at our home. My only complaint..and I am sorry for saying this.. but... when you call their customer service 9 out of 10 times...you get someone who barely speaks English and I just hate that. I think that is true of a lot of customer support centers these days, ironically they are rarely American anymore. I am not prejudice at all. I just find it frustrating to call in for help and the help you get barely understands you and you do not understand them, thus making the experience very frustrating..

As far as company VR for critical care it is not very good and I agree with the other poster. I tend
to leave little words in or if I have to take a lot of words out an extra word gets stuck in. It is a mess. If you are speaking of your own person VR at home to help I know nothing about that. With companies at this stage of the game you will not increase your productivity as you think.

Well, thank you for that. It's about time we get some decent service and good prices on equipment for the work we do. Maybe things are changing for the better. Do ya think???? 
Any suggestions on a good Vacuum at a reasonable price?
I would love to have a Dyson but they are a little over my budget. Thanks!
Good one. An anonymous poster blows another anonymous poster's head off. Great win for MQ?
 I guess that is a small pleasure for those of you who have lowered your expectations for the company you work for.

I agree! To be a good MT we must take the good with the bad!
It sometimes takes longer to learn ESL docs and is a pain in the butt, but all that does not kill us makes us stronger!! I don't love doing ESL docs by any means, but if I want a job - I need to do what my employer asks of me. Take the good and bad - or find a new job! I applaud you for working with your MTs, but you really shouldn't have to! I have only been an MT for two years and I cannot imagine telling my boss that I am not willing to learn something. How rude!
That is a good offer. Pay is not that good at UIMC. Good luck! nm

Agree! As in "A Few Good Men"
"You can't handle the truth!" Go Kikki, don't let the rightwing shut you up! That's what they count on.

Good post. I agree.

I agree...this seems like a very good offer.

I agree with having a good relationship.
Patti, you have probably earned respect because of your excellent turnaround, attention to detail, and responding in a timely fashion when things can get "hairy" so to speak and the office is in need of a report. I also have that kind of relationship with the offices I transcribe for and it is very nice. When I lost my mother, one of my docs, called me personally and told me that he was not at all worried about late dictation because "family comes first". I know these docs are hard to come by, but I have also responded to his STAT requests in a timely manner. I have managed to please his staff and do not come off (just because I'm an IC) that I am not a part of their team and feel the same stresses that come along with being part of the staff. I have been offered lunch if I'm there and a rep has brought in some sandwiches. I have sat and eaten that lunch, too (not everytime) but I want to be part of the team. I think this very much increases your productivity and then like you said when it comes time that you may not have gotten that report back, it is not taken as such a bad thing. We are all human. I feel the OP should have a contract with this office and specify her charges as such. I'm sure glad someone understands though that there are some great offices out there that really do care about their staff, including their IC transcriptionist. 
I agree. Good post. sm
"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 agree 100%. Though I remember back in the olden days when I worked in the hospital, some people would work and others would socialize and not work. Maybe this is a backlash of that. But mostly I just think its corporate greed.
Good post. I agree with you.
I think someone mentioned once about the garment industry workers, when they started rising up in the 70's (remember "look for the union label"?), some people thought it was much ado about nothing, others ignored it, but people did not change their spending habits. And now if you want US-made clothes you are in for a real challenge finding them. The winds of change...and it ain't good.
So agree! Good to see other perspectives,

I would agree with HP being good. I'll only
is better in this profession because most won't accept Vista anyhow. The OP might want to try a secondhand computer store and then just purchase the Office Suite you'd like. I did this and have good luck so far knock on wood with Office 2003.
That was a good post! Totally agree.

Bravo! Good post. I totally agree. sm
I too have been in this business for a long time (almost 20 years). I also have a good friend who is an RN who will ask me questions about certain things that she hasn't read up on because it is not in her field of "expertise".
If someone I know says something like, "I have this pain that won't go away. . ..", I say, "you need to make an appointment with your doctor. If someone says the doc put them on a drug and can't pronounce the name, I can give them the correct way to say it.
But in my experience, I can tell (in my areas of expertise) when something is wrong. I would never say, "I think he has this or that." I would say, "I really don't like the looks of that and it might need to be looked at by the doctor. Even if I do know from experience what it may be.
In the case of an NP ignoring the MT's concerns, I find that disturbing. That seems to say that personal objections are getting in the way, which should never happen in the medical field, regardless of what level you are at, if there is even what may apper to be a valid concern.
agree; openmindedness, respect for others' beliefs also a good thing

Good for you. Sounds very interesting and a good chance of pace - sm
but I live in the northeast and not much need for that where I live. I also live in a small town so that limits my options. I have spent the last couple of years as a substitute teacher to supplement my MT job and just completed 4-1/2 months as a long term sub which I enjoyed and was a change of pace from MT. The only problem is as a sub or ed tech you only get paid during the school year so I would have to keep my MT job for summers and school vacations. With the way things are going in the MT world I hate to rely solely on that. I don't want to find myself without any job whatsoever.
Thanks for all the responses.

Agree! I hate Daylight Savings Time. It takes me a good two weeks
to get myself and everybody in the household adjusted to the time change every six months. If the farmers need to get up earlier, let 'em! That doesn't mean I should have to, also! DST has definitely outlived its usefulness. I stay up later and get up earlier in the summer, but go to bed earlier and sleep later in the winter. It's like my mind and body are tied to the sun, not the clock. I never got an extra hour of sleep last night anyways because the neighbor's stupid dog barked from 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.
absolutely agree; they needed a good dose of Exlax. where was the local talent.

Is the dictation quality good, are the dictators good, are you
a newbie and you still have to look up lots of words .... The very first day I typed, with absolutely no education way back when, when you didn't have to have a degree/certificate or previous experience, I typed 665 lines. This was without an expander and I was not a fast typist. I can do 1000 lines in about 4 hours now on average.
LOL! Well, good! I've done ONE good thing today, then. NM
