Are you married? Do you have any reason to suspect

Posted By: Yes, I'd be concerned on 2005-07-19

I was married at 21, been happily married for 18 years now.
Have 2 teens, 16 and 13. Love my soul mate!
I would suspect...
...that a certain CEO is hoping Brandi won't start telling us about the old days in detail. Then again, maybe he would! Dang, I'm still laughing over one story in particular. He was sure a gas at the parties I attended at WebMedX!
Also, I suspect the pay isn't all that SM

great (remember, the amount the client is paying is there), if about 1/2 goes to the service then that leaves a little less than 9 cpl.  It's okay money, but I also think this is IC work and if so, it's not that great a deal.


I don't know for a fact the service is taking 1/2; I am assuming that--they have overhead to pay for.


Yes, you have ADD, but I suspect you know that.
Actually, probably ADHD. I should know - I have it as well! Nice meeting you! As for the class, it has to be the same company that I suffered and friznazzled in for all of 4 hours, with a raging fever, droning in and out of consciousness - not from the fever, but from the Barbie on my end. Sounded like Mrs. Rogers on speed. And she kept attempting comedy - to which all my dutiful bunny classmates laughed and laughed. Except... they did so by clicking a LAUGH icon, or they would hit the CLAP icon. I was so looking for the VOMIT icon, but, alas, there was none. I couldn't take it, and after 4 hours, I hit the EXIT DOOR icon really quickly, heard it slam shut, saw my name disappear, and that was the end of my career at THAT company. Ended before it started. Took me a LONG TIME to saw off the ball and chain that they had included in with the computer - the one to chain myself to the desk. I sawed it off, signed back on and hit the CLAPPING icon. I was free...Do you think I'd be on their infamous REHIRE list??
Thanks, but I suspect
that since the company I now work for has their own Voice Monitor I doubt I would be able to transfer reports to a system like Gear Player.
I suspect you are the honest one
I was skeptical above when I read the responses to "How much have you made so far with the year half over".  Awfully amazing how much money they claim (maybe overestimate) they make -- equivalent of full-time income with how much time they take off for their kids or "life".   There was an allusion to the truth about the MT who said she is a second paycheck to her husband MBA.  But I suspect you are the honest one, stating that it isn't the money.  It certainly isn't the virtually non-existent benefits. 
Since you have been there that long, I would suspect that... sm
you have power from your longevity that they feel threatened by. The administrator may feel glad that you are leaving so they can finally gain more personal control.

This does not mean you should feel bad, though. Change is good, so you have everything to gain, but so do they. I would not begrudge them the feeling, though. I always try to wish the best for those that I leave behind.

Thanks again for the link. I suspect I will be using-sm
this in the near future, because now I want to make it capitalize afer a ":" and I find that it will not capitalize after a number, such as in L1. I really appreciate your help. All of this little stuff can really slow down production, not to mention make you want to pull your hair out. :^)
thanks so much!
$13/hr is ridiculously low. I suspect SM
it's some program where they get you cheaply, sharpen your skills by giving feedback on your work (mentoring) and then turn you loose.  Industry standard is around 150 lines per hour.  If you did that, that's a little over 8.5 cpl.  BUT if you type 175 lines an hour for $13/hr, you are typing for a little under 7.5 cpl.  As you get better and more used to the dictators under this "training program," you will actually be working for less money, see?
If you suspect something dangerous, then
for heaven's sake go and visit a doctor.

Why do you suspect a pulmonary embolism? I dounbt tht you wiklk be able to cough it up. Are you producing some blood when coughing?

It might just be some mucus or phlegm that you cannot lodged in you lungs.

Does your cough produce blood?

Here are the symptoms tht indicate a pulmonary embolism
(blood clot in the lungs):

Google:

'Pulmonary embolism symptoms can vary greatly, depending on how much of your lung is involved, the size of the clot and your overall health — especially the presence or absence of underlying lung disease or heart disease.

Common signs and symptoms include:

Sudden shortness of breath, either when you're active or at rest.
Chest pain that often mimics a heart attack. The pain can occur anywhere in your chest and may radiate to your shoulder, arm, neck or jaw. It may be sharp and stabbing or aching and dull and may become worse when you breathe deeply (pleurisy), cough, eat, bend or stoop. The pain will get worse with exertion but won't go away when you rest.
A cough that produces bloody or blood-streaked sputum.
Rapid heartbeat (tachycardia).
Other signs and symptoms that can occur with pulmonary embolism include:

Wheezing
Leg swelling
Clammy or bluish-colored skin
Excessive sweating
Anxiety
Weak pulse
Lightheadedness or fainting (syncope)
Fever'

If you do not have these symptoms, take an aspirin, drink hot tea with lemon juice and honey, you might just have a cold.
Just found out that the suspect's ex wife--sm
is providing an alibi for him, saying that he was with her in Alabama at the time of JonBenets death and that he only knew certain things about the case because he did alot of research on it, as well as another case in California. Why would he confess to it, if he did not do it? and why would she, the ex, defend him?
Suspect - Jon Benet Case
From what I saw on the news, he confessed to things that the public was never told about and that only the police knew. Also, I was happy to hear that before Patsy Ramsey died she actually knew this person was a suspect so she could also find some peace.
I suspect that with the name change they will also lose a lot
l
I suspect we will see stories like these more and more on both sides soon

When VR gets worse over time, I suspect it has to do with
new MTs, Indian MTs, and those MTs who don't really give a crap about "training" VR. When it's not "trained" correctly, it just gets worse. IMO, there's no way to uniformly constantly train it, or for the physicians to ever put forth the proper effort needed to make VR work. It's a losing battle & the only purpose it's serving right now is to severely cut our pay & decrease patient safety. VR needs to go away.
I suspect it's another newbie doing a test tape to get a job

"D-dimer"


"Parenchyma"


"Acidosis"


Any first year terminology student wouldn't have to ask about these elementary MT words.  It's a cheater trying to pass a test she is in no way qualified to be taking.


Call your insurance co and tell them what you suspect..its up to them to verify.

I suspect employers are being forced to care. SM
Since it's a new platform, it's a new problem that probably a lot of companies are just waking up to. My sympathies for people who find themselves effectively "forced" to use it as it apparently is now.

With serious compatibility issues with common brands of the Expanders that have become vital to so many of us, at this point I would not apply to a company using it, and I suspect few other good experienced transcriptionists reading about it would either. This seems such a grave flaw that it will have to be repaired, or this platform will end up a dead end used by only a few institutions.

How about contacting the company that developed the platform directly for answers and fixes? Also the developer of your own expander, who must be well aware of the issues Chartscript raises for them. The ShortHand tech guy (not my own MTSO techs!) fixed me up promptly when I was put on eScription and developed glitches. Best wishes with this.
I suspect that unless you post like-minded sanitized goodie goodie posts,

how old were you when you got married? sm
I was...18! Wow, now that seems SOOO young! Been married though, to the same man for 18 years! Just a curious question!
Married at 24.
Married for 18 years and going strong.
Married at 18, again at 34
I was married (pregnant) at 18, had two kids and divorced at 30.  Then I remarried at 34, having learned a lot about what I wanted and didn't want in a mate, and two more kids and almost 19 years later we're still going very, very strong, still making goals and achieving them.  Been working at home as an MT since our 14 year old daughter was born, and that's been absolutely crucial, as we're all homebodies. 
I never said I was married,
I am only into stealing husbands.
I was 26, married 5 yrs, before I had first NEW car. nm
S
I used to be married to
then, got divorced (another long story unto itself), but he wouldn't "let" me do anything. He was a real dictator and was very condescending and just basically not a nice person. Of course, he wasn't like that when we were dating. Anyway, I have remarried and my husband is wonderful. He really is one of the best guys I've ever known. He loves his kids and looks forward to me going off somewhere (shopping, visiting my sister, etc.) so he can have the boys to himself; it's daddy/kids play time.

I was so used to asking my first husband's permission to do things that every now and then I slip up and ask my husband now, and he gets offended when I ask him for permission! He can't believe my first husband was that kind of person. Just had to share this with y'all. My best friend wants to clone him.
yes, married 25 yr now
With the assumptions you gave, I would -- we are all susceptible to temptation. Our marriage had a breach of trust and that was a tremendous blow. But 10 yr later, we are happier than ever. It's a slow deliberate road back to a sound relationship -- but committment is the name of the game, isn't it? I'm glad I stuck it out.
Every day since I got married.

married at 27; am still, 23 years later.

18 here. Graduated and then married
two weeks later, still with the same man 16 years later.
Married at 19, same man for 23 years

18 and still married 27 years later. nm


24 - married 8 years on 08-09

24, married 26 years now.
He was 27.  We only dated 7 months.  Although both knew what we wanted, and did not hesitate, I would recommend a longer dating period.  We went into it with the idea that divorce was not an option.  I know that everyone's situation is different.  My brother and sister are each on their fourth go around.  But people just don't think about marriage in the same way that they used to. 
24, will be married 18 years on 10/3/05. nm

why are they getting married this year (sm)

and having their "fairy tale wedding" next year?  Why not just wait and do the whole marriage thing next year, but have an engagement party this year? 



I know it's probably personal but hey, you brought it up!


After being married for almost 19 years....its even better!

My husband and I have been  married for almost 19 years and our sex is better now than it ever has been and there is no downloaded porn involved.  4 times a week after being married for almost 19 years is a good thing.  But for the others remember its not the quantity but the quality that should count. 


What makes you think that your love life has to fizzle just because you are married so long?????


Been married 29 yrs, get more now than ever but I say it took me 18 yrs to train to where he knows
:O
Yep, even though she's grown and married
, he still gets it anytime he wants it. The molestation has never stopped.
Why you're still married! sm
Hang onto this one, girl! Hearts of gold shine through. :)
Married or adopted?
...not to stir the pot, but if you are married it should be a compromise. If in the end your furthering your education benefits you both, can't see how he could object. Try sitting down and showing the pros to this side of the coin. If he does not budge, well, go any way. Ask friends to help with the babysitting.

P.S. - he's WRONG ABOUT OUTSOURCING. The sky's the limit here - nothing will stop outsourcing as long as there are HUGE profits to be made.
I was married to a guy like that once. I divorced him.
Most selfish, insensitive, clueless human being on planet earth. Good riddance.

33, married with 3 kids...
Ages 12, 10, and 8... Thankfully they are in school most of the time I transcribe... Otherwise, I get NOTHING done... ;o)
Are they getting married in a church?
Do you have a preacher or someone he could speak with at your church? I will pray for you. I am so sorry you are going through this. What a mess. She'll be his "first divorce" as they say.
They're not married yet - NM

Married almost 20 years

My first gut reaction would be NO, but it would depend on the circumstances. I think I would have a very hard time trusting him again and forget about the STDs that could be involved.  OMG.  So, I guess. I might be able to forgive him but the marriage would probably be over.


Unhappily married?
Either leave or call Dr. Phil. Better yet, phone a friend. Life is too short to stay in a bad relationship, whether married or not. There is always someone out there who will appreciate you. Too many factors in bad marriages. Do you bring it on yourself, do you feel sorry for yourself, or is he/she really that awful. I stopped trying to figure out why things change from good to bad after time passes by. If you're not happy, get out. That simple. Kids do not benefit in bad relationships. Actually, they suffer the most because they have to deal with this ordeal their entire adulthood. Who do we spend Christmas with this year. Let's see, we went to dad's last year or mom's. Then there is the in-laws. The only person I feel for living in bad relationships is the child or children. Parents move on. Children have complicated lives for the rest of their lives, not to mention listening to mom and dad talk awful about each other. Abuse.......I will not tolerate - verbally or mentally. My mom left my dad for an abusive alcoholic. What a joke. When he passed, she talked about him as if he were a saint. My brother and I went like 15 years w/o seeing her. One, she moved to AZ and had another child with this man. Two, he beat on her, cheat on her and she was always nervous around him. We just decided that until she either left him or he passed away, we would not be subjected to that type of life. Point being, not all fathers are to blame. I could not imagine not seeing my children for 15 to 20 years. We worked hard for anything and everything we ever wanted in life. My half-sister, she is a spoiled snot, cannot keep a job for more than 2 months, and still lives at home at the age of 27. I had to decide on dwelling about this or moving on and living my own life. Guess what I chose, moving on. Again, the child suffers more than the adult.
married since 03 and pregnant now sm
and totally on the way out the door. He is 6 years younger than me, lazy, doesn't know how to keep a job, is immature. Can't handle it. Love him but just can't do it on my own.
60k+ NOT MARRIED TO KEYBOARD
Get your own accounts.  Not married, work for single to dual office physicians.  Not going for that "ONE BIG" account but several that add up to that one big account.  I work 30 to 32 hours per week with pick up and delivery, printing time all counted in.  So it is out there, just gotta keep looking.  As for EMR - have been asked -- did not seek out -- to do their EMR and you can hook into the EMR programs at home and do not need to work in the office.  So the possibilities are there just gotta be a little creative and work smart.   So if your accounts decide to go for EMR show them how much time YOU can save them by doing the dictation still.   After a while the docs hated doing it and dictated on their way home, send the dictation digitally, you transcribe and can send them over to be downloaded or you can go in and load them into the charts.    Patti  PS typing without my glasses please 'cuse any goofs. 
I was married to a Frenchman for 12 yrs
his accent is still so very thick, it's still very difficult to understand him....and I agree, french dictators are with the worst/most difficult accent!!
