To "Beezle" regarding your post in reply to Austin
I heard nothing about any of that stuff you're talking about, would like to know more. They told me they were hiring for 3 different locations, 3 positions, and that MDs had choice to do straight dictation or do VR on Provox system, and that's where the editing comes in. Have to admit, I didn't have the presence of mind to ask all those great questions you asked regarding word expanders, etc., because, frankly, being as it was hourly pay, I really didn't care...LOL! I'd appreciate it if you'd email me. I think I may have been rejected (not certain, mind you) because I informed them via email, after my interview, that I'd had to file bankruptcy a few months ago. Well, my rejection letter was sent out the same day I sent this email, although they had told me after interview it would be a week before they'd contact me, either by phone or email.
MT jobs in Texas - Dallas or Austin
Hello All,
With my job (non MT), I have the chance to move to either Austin or Dallas. I'd be bringing my girlfriend with me but this means she'd have to leave her current MT job which works directly with a hospital. Does anyone have any pointers on who's hiring for MTs in either Austin or Dallas preferably working out of the home? She currently makes 75k a year since her employeer provides a lot of double overtime. Could this much be made in Austin or Dallas? She'd possibly look at working for an outsourcing company as well (hopefully with benefits). Any pointers on outsouring as well would be nice.
Many Thanks
I have an opening...sm
email me with your pasted resume and we'll talk.
I saw a job opening for mt at
a women's state prison in California. They didn't require that much experience, pay and benefits were excellent. It was too far from where I lived and I didn't know if I would like the environment.
Wow! This is eye-opening
You two have really given me some thought-provoking info.
I had no idea it was this bad. That is a hellish training period for such a pathetic salary. Exactly the opposite of what I've been reading. The websites I read from truly did quote up to $40. per hour, computer equipment given to you and a growing field, not shrinking!
Yes, I do work for slave wages, but I have a mortgage to pay and student loans and I am a single woman so I have to find something. Maybe a paper route . . .
Thanks for the info!
They might be having an opening soon.

I am opening up a transcription (sm)
business myself. I am fed up with the hospitals who are going voice recognition and are using a digital system for attendings, so I decided why not!! Another MT and I are do this and hopefully we will be successful. I am going in with someone on the computer end as well.
did you try opening the file?
If so, what did the instruction say? Do you have to open it with a special program? Is this a wav file? If not, what type of file is this (it will say at the end of the document/file name)?
That's an eye-opening article -
and scary, too. My MTSO was just taken over by Acusis.........
Still not opening at all for me. I emailed
s
This is eye opening information and I will be
looking into more IRS laws. This is VERY interesting as the company I work for does not pay my taxes but dictates hours, etc. They also have violated HIPAA regulations and I will be inquiring as to what actions can be taken there.
Thanks for enlightening me.
Opening up Pandora's box of wine
Hey Patti, it's ok to talk about drinking and transcribing. People react strongly because it hits a raw nerve. It's a topic that is kept in the dark. I suspect many transcriptionists do and have drank at the desk. I myself have had a small glass of wine on occasion when I have been so stressed out, like when I have been given a 30-day notice that my work is going to India! Or my foreign-accented dictator yells at me for something stupid! I venture to say that perhaps more transcriptionists have a glass or two of liquor toward the end of their shift than they would care to admit. I just think you got such a response because it is a topic most transcriptionists have thought about in one way or another. I'm not saying it is ok or it is morally wrong. It does happen though.
Opening of her broadway show
It was the opening of her broadway show, The Color Purple that Letterman escorted her to. However, I dont like Oprah, never have. The fawning and oohing and ahhing was quite sickening, if you ask me.
Opening any of this person's mail
If you do any of the things you mentioned, you will have broken the law. It is against federal statutes to open someone else's mail, even if it was placed in YOUR mailbox.
Try opening the normal.dot and see if you can change it there. sm
Hide spelling/grammar errors in this document only affects the current document. Another place to look is the Language setting on the Tools menu. You may have it set to not check spelling.
Try opening up ShortHand before log in. Works with other systems like that. nm
s
I think it is some of the emoticons, but maybe only the first instance of them opening or posting.

I worked in a hospital in radiology, and when an opening in MR was available SM
I applied, got the job, and that is how I got my foot in the door.
Your opening statement about our President is disrespectful.
Whether or not you like him, he is still the President and that office should be respected. Unfortunately, your statement is reflective of the mindset and mentality of many in our country. And people have to ask why the rest of the world doesn't like us--we don't even like each other.
At the very least you should be respectful of those in positions of authority. It's modeling of appropriate behavior that our children see and emulate themselves.
sorry, not in Kansas. PA is where I heard of a good job opening (near pittsburgh)
Look through the Help section in it and just start opening up all the tabs and playing
s
please, need help with startstop opening windows sound recorder.
When I open a file from within startstop, it wants to open windows sound recorder, and then it wants to open a file located somewhere else on my hard drive.
Sometimes it will open the file I want to listen to, and the windows sound recorder flashes on the screen a couple of times.
Is anyone having that problem? I've emailed and called startstop but no response to email and no return call from startstop tech support.
Any info you have is greatly appreciated. I'm on version 9.8.7
Brain dead today - or is it hear hear? I'm going to bed.

Marry me?! :) Seriously...hear, hear. Good post. - nm
xx
Hear, hear! I agree with Dakota - sm
The MTSO should be giving feedback to the hospital/doctors who slur, speak too rapidly, etc. They need to pull up their socks! And there's no reason why these doctors shouldn't be given an outline of what is expected from them when they dictate, such as cell phones, chewing food, candy, gum, etc.
Definitely an eye-opening read. Having my teens read it, too. nm
s
i hear you
That sounds like my husband. If he gets "stuck" with the kids the my job interferes with the family life, but when there are too many bills to pay, I spend too much money. I can never win.
I am so sorry to hear about your dog. SM
I know how sad it is to lose a beloved pet. I have lost many over my lifetime and they all stay in my memory. My condolences to you.
i hear it also....
i'm divorced and get told 'how will you ever meet someone if you don't leave the house'.
i also get neighbors asking me to watch for deliveries, let repairmen in, let their dogs out.....just because i'm home they think i'm in front of the tv eating bon bons....when actually i'm posting on this board!!
I hear you
Good for you! Couldn't be more proud!
I want to hear more about this. Seriously.
..
I hear ya - sm
Hard to be the disciplinarian without the support of the husband or grandparents.
Of course, then when they get older and get into more serious trouble as time goes by, it will be YOUR fault for not disciplining them too.
Same old story around here too.
Stand your ground mom. Tough as it is, I know. You gotta do it.
Did you hear or see this anywhere
else besides on this board?? I haven't heard that - that is very scary. Hope it is just rumor.
I hear what you are saying.
My husband is a school custodian for a K-12 school. My daughter graduated a couple years ago, so I no longer have a kid in school. There were teachers along and along that I did not agree with, but there are always channels to go through. There will always be kids who are picked on. Unfortunately, the parents of the bullies are going to take up for their little angels as well. One of our first graders held a sharpened pencil to the throat of another student, and made threats to the teachers. They tried to get the child removed from the classroom and the local board of education would not cooperate. The teachers walk a fine line. They are expected to protect all the children, but they are not allowed to do very much with little devils like this. We had a coach that the parents tried to run off because he tried to teach some of the 16-17 year-old babies some discipline. I am not talking about slamming them up against the wall. I am just talking about things like making the guys on the team (heaven forbid) tuck their shirt tails in. You would be amazed at the little things that can cause such a stink. I had a teacher tell my daughter she did not agree with my parenting techniques, so it can go both ways. (My daugher was 17) Since my husband works there, I know these teachers. The teacher is a basically good person, we just had a disagreement. I was respectful when I talked to her in front of my daughter, and I expect my daughter to behave in a similar manner. I have noticed that most of the bullies in school have parents that are also bullies. We have resource officers at the school to help pretect the children. Unfortunately, these officers have also been called on to protect the teachers from very real threats from students and parents. While I agree that parents definitely need to know what is going on with their child in school, if some of the parents I know showed up at school every day it would be impossible for the teachers to actually teach classes. These teachers have to teach the whole class, not just your child. There is no way they are going to please all the parents and still do their job. There is also no way on this earth I would be a teacher these days.
Where did you hear this?
Do you have anymore information regarding this? I tried to look up on the IRS website, but couldn't find anything. I think that would be great for everyone to donate 1 vacation day, that would add up to a lot!!
Sorry to hear that you and your...sm
husband aren't getting along!
LOL...I hear that! sm
Used to work for YOG/MQ...glad I got out when I did. Talk about stress...yikes!!!
We need to hear more
About the Teamsters in LA who said they would take us on. Back last week I believe the question was asked about unions and a reply came back that LA Teamsters were interested in us, but no more details were given. Maybe that should be Monday's job, track them down in LA and see what's up.
Where did you hear that it
doesn't start until January?
I hear ya...
...all the songs you mentioned..."Something", too. Don't get me started either...LOL
In my 10th grade English class we had to pick a poem to read in front of the class...I read the lyrics from "Lucy"...a few people were looking at me like I was crazy & I just thought "Oh well, you just don't get it."
Yep, we sure could use his humor these days, that's for sure!!
At least, if what I believe is true, he's in a much better place...I can just see him looking down & shaking his head. Just imagine what kind of songs he'd be writing now!
Oh, where's a peace sign emoticon when you need one...LOL
I hear ya!
Yeah, except we don't get $50,000 after eating the slime and rotten fish.
I hear ya
Crap, crap and more crap being left. Don't these little cherrypickers know how to do HARD LONG REPORTS???
I hear ya!
Just two months ago, I started to IC for a large cardiology group. The in-house wanted a day off during the week, so I was going to fill in for her at home. Let me tell you, she was a nut and faxed me corrections for the weirdest stuff. Needless to say, I quit that place after two days of filling in! There is always work out there and I found a much better office where I am averaging around $200.00 per tape!
Best of luck to you!
I hear ya.........
I'm in the same position. Left a great IC position (small company) for employee status but I can't seem to find what I had before with the big guys. They all seem to lie and treat their MTs like slaves. Wish I could go back to the old position but I need to work as an employee for many reasons. Suks, huh?
I hear ya.
Next time invite them over for coffe and let them listen to a few ESL dictators!!!! HA. See how fast they run out the door........ LOL
I hear you!
My response to all is asking them to spell esophagogastroduodenoscopy. My aunt is the worst! She still calls me a stay at home MOM!!!
Don't need to hear this
Oh my God! This is the frist year I've worked as an IC and had deductions for it. I also owe the IRS a lot of $$ for other reasons and I'll be paying it off for years and years.. It is scary to hear this. I haven't done anything wrong but if they audit me I'll shoot myself. But just think--Exxon paid NO TAXES this year.. I guess that is why the IRS needs to go after the big bucks from us MTs.
I hear ya
I am in the same boat. I have been working two jobs and working extra on both due to finances and such. I too am the only one who can. My BF thinks it is terrible when he has to work an actual 8 hours (his job if he is done he works however many and gets paid for 8,sometimes 5 or 6 but with the holiday an actual 7 or 8). They think it is just awful if I ask for extra help. I am worn out. Today I just finished one job fixing to start the full time one and have a roast cooking, clothes washing, and candy chilling in the fridge. Teenage stepdaughter keeps coming in her asking what I am doing and talking chit chat. I have said a million times what I am doing. I am also eating lunch in here somewhere. Oh and I am having some endometriosis flare up and a cold. I am about to blow my top. I can feel your pain.
I hear you!
I had a dream last night in which I asked my family physician whether carrying 30 lb extra weight could be any worse than my 3/4 pack per day smoking habit. The dream ended without an answer. But, seriously, this occurred to me - starting cigs again until I realized I could start smoking and be a smoker AND 30 lb overweight! At least without SOB, I can attempt to increase metabolism with cardiovascular exercise. Considered Phentermine too but it would probably send me to the convenience store for a pack of smokes since they make you very fidgity.
I pulled out the pressure cooker for fast steamed veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots) and bought potatoes for baking. Tea and fruit juices for in between meals.
