But MTs who 'keep their mouths shut' are part of -sm

the problem. Where I came from, that's the kind of person they wanted - a little mouse who kept her head low, flew under the rader, and just typed, typed, typed. And preferably did not get sick, eat, or go to the bathroom very often! The people who saw problems and/or solutions were a huge THREAT to the managers, who wanted their own managers to think that they knew what they were doing, & 'had everything under control'. And they were scared that the people who spoke up might embolden all the mice. The only way the MT disgrace in this country will ever have a chance of getting better (and maybe our medical records banned from going offshore!) is if MTs speak up LOUDLY, and bring this problem to the attention of the whole country.

toilet mouths
I live next to two toilet mouths. They are constantly getting "divorced" and never do. They yell the "f" word at each other and have used it on both my husband and I if we go outside to sit on our deck. He thinks if he goes out to smoke a cigarette, we shouldn't be sitting there. He thinks we are "watching him." We have never said anything to them about this as they are incapable of a decent conversation. Once my husband did ask them not to throw stuff on our property because if a leaf off our tree falls in their yard, or as much as a stick off a branch, they throw it back in ours. Once he threw a shovel of acorns back on our property and when I knocked at the window, he told me to go (you know what) myself. How do you tell this to the cops if they're not present? I have to bring the grandchildren in during their "f" word fights, as their parents would never use foul langugage in front of them. I am not a saint, but I'm sick of having to close my windows. She goes out with her girlfriends and they come home drunk and hollering at 2:00 AM but just enough to wake everyone and then they go in and finish their night out. He tells her he is "way far up from her" whatever that means, and he goes out with his buddies.He toots the horn if the girlfriends park in his parking spot at 2:00 am, how do you explain this? Things would be quiet by the time the police arrive.  Apparently she wants to buy him out but can't get a mortgage, so they both stay and fight. We have never in 18 years seen them go out together. How can you call the cops and tell them you don't want to live like this? Am I the "word police" or what? I'm tired of living like this. I plan to stay where I am but honestly hope there is a typhoon or something that will blow that house out of my back yard.She yells constantly that she has a right to "live her life." She has an expired CNA and calls herself a "private duty nurse" although all she does is clean peoples' houses and take them shopping. At one point she took an 81-YO Alzheimer's patient home with her and offered him some wine and used the "f" word on him because she apparently sleeps there a few nights a week while his people go out to the casino and he wakes her up singing. Other than record her, which would not stand up in court, how do you deal with this type of behavior? I am sure the police have better to do and need more evidence. I would love to get some of these long "f" word fights on tape and end it all and get them arrested, especially knowing people pay her to care for their loved ones. She brags that any money she makes goes "right in here," pointing to her bra. Where are the laws to protect us and to protect people who prey on the elderly?
Not a bad attitude on mush mouths
I also find I'm willing to work/research more for good dictators to get their reports 100%.
Mushmouths..well my worst one is just horrible, everyone leaves blanks out the kazoo with this idiot and with so many, his supe told him to speak clearer, had him listen to figure out the blanks and hmmmmmm.he had no idea what he had said.
He is now going a bit slower and clearer but is still quilty of garbage.
not talking with food in their mouths! NM

So then they dictated with all those snacks in their mouths! LOL. nm

Of course you may get the motor-mouths. Not good

very cute, outta the mouths of babes...nm
Puhleeze! MTSO's lie out both sides of their mouths when trying to hire an MT! SM
I should feel bad because I found out that they had been blowing smoke up my, err... blowing smoke after I received the equipment?
There are many, MANY factors contributing to falling line rates these days. Let's see, there is the outsourcing overseas to India and Pakistan paying those poor people 2 cpl to type our work! Then there are the uneducated, careless American MTs who produce poor quality work and don't have a clue or even care! Then there are the fly-by-night MT schools who promise $50,000 a year or better working from home when you finish their program, effectively turning medical transcription into a get rick quick scheme and producing some of the most under qualified MTs out there which brings us back full circle to the uneducated, careless American MT. It's a viscious circle.
So get off your high horse and get back to work. I don't feel guilty about screwing an MTSO that is already sticking it to someone else even as we speak!
My WORST nightmare is broken English docs mumblingrealfast with food/gum in their mouths - and I do
Is it a conspiracy?
The easy part is making the decision to leave, the hard part is
actually doing it. Been in your shoes and it took me a year and a half to leave after I had made the decision to do so. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself and my girls. I had family and friends and a counselor telling me what needed to be done and I knew what needed to be done but until I had the courage on my own to do it I stayed. One day, we had an argument and he spit in my face and that was the last straw for me. Even though it is something that I will NEVER forget, that day is also a day I will never forget because it is the day that I took my kids and left. I am a single mom of 2 and have been single and supporting us for 5 years now. I have been healing ever since and still am to this day. You can do this. I know that if I hadn't have left and I would have stayed one of us would be dead by now or both.
SHUT UP!
Get over yourself.
No. I have as much right to tell you to shut up and
get out as you do me!
No. You're just a lesion, a runny icky sore. A little sunshine will dry you right up! That's what you DON'T want -- something to heal up that oozing attitude of yours!
MQ is digging it's way out and if that isn't good enough for you, get out.
It's a real shame MQ cannot get the IP addresses of all the complainers and fire every single one of you without notice. Absolutely, that would be the best action they could ever take!!
shut them down?
do you think reporting them local news agencies that fight for consumers would help shut them down?
You are a fool..so shut up
Why do I work two jobs? Do you have the need to know? Because I like to live well and have money in my pocket. Why dont you work two jobs? Because you are the lazy one and most likely no other trans company would hire you except MQ, who it is well known will hire newbies and transcriptionists that other companies would not give their 2 cents to.

kidneys shut down
Changes are that he is not even aware of what is going on and is semi-comatose or full coma. Hopefully, the hospital will keep him comfortable. My father-in-law went so fast that the nursing home couldn't give him enough morphine to keep him comfortable (even though he was basically not awake we could tell he was experiencing discomfort), they legally couldn't dispense enough and it was evening. They were going to call Hospice in the morning but he passed away before that could be done. Hopefully, the hospital will have the ability to keep this man comfortable.
I shut down every night--sm
for two reasons. Not the electricity, but the fact that if you are always running, you leave yourself more open to someone trying to compromise your computer. the second reason is that even though you may be set to receive updates on antivirus, etc. sometimes those updates need you to reboot in order for them to take effect. in fact, most of them do. If you are always running, your updates are never taking effect. The minor mini-surges at start up do NOT put wear and tear on your computer. they were DESIGNED for shut down and restart. geez. better get new techies!
I know, I know, I had one eyeball shut and
One eyeball open and my fingers were sore from typing. Too late to catch, but he won't read it anyway. Just was venting. I would laugh if he would call me and say the same thing. But I know he won't. Thanks anyway. 
She just threw that out there to shut us up, I think
She posts here quite frequently, mostly to whine about her husband, stepson, MIL,and everything else. I don't believe she's really an intentional troll at all, just a complete moron who was trying to dig her way out of the sh*tstorm she started with this gem of a post.
Yes, it is SHUT UP or APOLOGIZE!...nm

so its okay for you to be unappreciated, to just keep mouth shut
I also do my work and then some, but why not a little respect back that I give? I can't believe it doesnt bother you. Look at your tone on this board, you seem like the kind of person who would be bothered by it.
meant mouth SHUT

EXACTLY! Shut up & check out the classifieds.
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
shut up or put up - your choice - you cannot control them, only yourself

ok, I'll keep my mouth shut!! ;) Thanks! nm

Do you shut your puter down overnight?
Just curious how many shut completely down at the end of your work day or overnight? Why or why not?
Your computer gets sluggish if you shut it down? NM

Do you think Company Board should be shut

They've forced many of our ERs to shut down
a regular doctor's office. So the few that are left are full to bursting. Once when I had a medical emergency, the ambulance couldn't take me to the closest ER because they had no room, instead we drove FOREVER to a far-away hospital, and still I had to wait a long time out in the hallway. Right now I would say 80% of the people being treated on the account I type for are Mexican and don't speak English. So the hospital has to pay for full-time, professional translators to accompany these people at office visits. And it's no surprise that a large number of them came here illegally.
Shut the h*** up. I make $75K a year doing this with BIG nationals.
I get full benefits. I'm not gutless in any way and I'm NOT having my "rights" taken away from me.
They're not doing anything to me I don't want them to do.
If that's YOUR situation, then make that STUPID statement about your own idiot self.
I'm doing just fine financially, Granny. I doubt YOU make the money I do. Not many do, they're not willing to sit their butts down and actually WORK for more than a few minutes at a time without running here and complain to all the other 'children' about 'school'.
I don't take s*** off anyone, not individuals and certainly not places I work -- there are too many of them out there to work for and if I don't want to do that, I can work for myself.
I kinda like the fact that I bring home more than THREE times what it takes for me to live, AND have insurance, AND a TSA, AND choose my work schedule.
Gotta shut the door and zone out and get it done
Been there, still go there sometimes. It took me a long time to just focus on the work, because at first I thought, "This is so coooool! I don't have to actually go to work. I think I'll go make brownies and come back to it later." WRONG!
Had to make myself a schedule, as the kids were getting packaged brownies and the dishes were never done. It's tough at the beginning to and when I started a year ago nobody was home. Then school got out and I realized I had forgotten to factor in the summer part, which was a nightmare! "Mama! You're not WORKING, ARE YOU?" Ended up starting at 4:00 a.m. and then working again after everyone was settled in bed.
Now I'm back on schedule. Good luck. 
PS--one more thing and then I'll shut my mouff!
Someone said something about not allowing this poor dog to get the exercise he needs out doors. My dog gets PLENTY of exercise. He is not overweight, and we play with him every single night of the world--he's a big part of our lives. He chases balls and toys and we play probably at least 30 minutes to an hour every night of the world, so a dog (particularly a small one like this) does not have to go outside to get any exercise. Thanks for listening/understanding.
Guess I should have kept my mouth shut, now people are - sm
policing the policing. Too nuts.
Unplug shut down plug in and reboot!

If an attorney knew his client had cancer, would he keep his mouth shut? SM......
You are a professional. Regardless of the patient's name, you are to keep everything confidential. The only reason I would say for you to give it to someone else is if you can't keep your mouth shut, but having already heard the name, the damage is already done. Don't make a big deal out of it. The first thing you should have learned in MT training was EVERYTHING IS CONFIDENTIAL, PERIOD, so what's the big deal?
I'd type it & keep my mouth shut. If you defer the report to someone else, you are just calling
hmmm...maybe I don't know yet how to post on this board.
I read in the newspaper that an online betting site had to shut down...
because there were many very large bets on Danielle winning. Supposedly people were tipped off that she won.
I agree that she shouldn't win. Go Terry!
No. I have AVG set to update and run in the middle of the night. My techies said no reason to shut d
:P
I wish I knew enough to help. My daughter had viruses totally shut her computer down
but hers did let me at least reinstall XP. I had a disc lying around from some of my old computers and it worked fine on it. The downside is that obviously when I reinstalled she lost all of her saved files, picture etc..but she had a working computer and that is all she cared about without having to replace the hard drive. I honestly wish I could help but I am not sure there is any way to transfer or recover what is on your computer if it will not even read a CD to burn to or a USB flash drive. Have you checked out the forums at Dell.com. I went to the troubleshooting area and it lead me to a tech support forum where I could enter in the error message and it told me what I could do to fix the problems and it did work. If nothing else, I would try to take it to a computer shop to have them assess it and let you know what is or is not salvageable. Good luck. I feel you pain.
Unfortunately in my area they made it so the utility companies can shut you off no matter how cold

What's up with the CMT part A and part B exams?
I thought it was all one test. How can a half a test last 6-1/2 hours? If anyone knows, please share your info! Thanks!
Does anyone know if you are a part time employee for 1 company and part time IC for another can you
still claim deductions for IC on your income tax even though you are one of each.
Depends on how part time the part time jobs are.
You can do it. You just have to work out a schedule you can live with.
Which part of OK are you?
Hello there
I did my little part
Went to the Houston SPCA yesterday to bring home a "furry refugee". They had not all been processed yet, however, and so we brought one home that had already been there, but at least it cleared the way for the other furries guys and gals. They are in need of donations, if anyone is interested. They have brought in approximately 460 dogs and cats from NO.
Because they pay a part of it as well.
MQ pays a good portion of the premium and the MT is only paying part.
Spheris pays a higher part of the premium, or at least they have in the past. With the new plan, MQ may have adjusted their portion of the insurance premium up a little bit.
Where did you get the idea MQ was taking away insurance?
