Coretta Scott King passed away overnight....sm
While she was in poor health since having her heart attack and stroke a few months ago it's still sad to see a legend pass away. I'm sure that her kids fighting over whether or not they should try to get the government to buy the King Center and 2 kids stealing money from the center didn't help any.
May she rest in peace.
I don't understand your question at all. She was being treated in Mexico
so what does that have to say about the US? Makes no sense.
ER died when Mark Green died. The 'new'
the same oomph as the originals. Not as exciting as it used to be. I had watched since the very first episode and loved every episode until then. Now it's BORING!
Sounds good Scott
keep us posted (pun intended) on one of the boards and let us know how it goes for you.
I'm rooting for you!
Hey Listenup!! Good to see another Jill Scott fan !!
I just love her. She has a book of poetry out that I need to get! Nice to meet you!
My oldest brother is a genius at above 140 - was in Scott's Hi-Q in high school - sm
and my other brother is very smart....don't know what his IQ is but he designs computer systems for large corporations, building control systems, bridges, etc. So he's pretty sharp, and my dad worked a chemical engineer with a Master's degree. My mom was a secretary but could type 100 wpm....wish I had gotten her typing speed, at best I am 60 wpm.
Jewel, Jill Scott, Dixie Chicks, and Tupac! LOL nm

It's pretty much world wide that if you have no body you have no crime. Scott Peterson was arrested
Laci's body was found, NOT BEFORE. Not rocket science here. How to you prosecute someone w/o a dead body?
What about Mexico?
Mexico is our neighbor next door and how would you feel if they started shipping our transcription to Mexico, just like it goes to India? Would you then feel the same way about your Canadian neighbors? It's just something to think about--not trying to start a ruckus here.
I can tell you what it's like in Mexico...
I've been to the clinic w/ my hubby before when he was sick...the facilities are overcrowded, you can't make appointments, and they give antibiotics for EVERYTHING. One doctor told my husband that he had a bacterial infection w/o even taking cultures. This is the place you go when you have insurance, by the way. The private practices are better, but I'm not sure how much better.
I personally will NOT go to the doctor here except in emergency!!!
WVM Mexico for one
treats you like crap if you do not understand them even if you are a tourist. I am talking outside of the "touristy areas", the real Mexico that is two blocks behind the waterfront hotels?? I have been there three times for a month each time and I was not an American tourist. I was there with my Mexican husband living and interacting amongst the REAL PEOPLE who live there, not the ones working in the tourism industry. They are no different than here. The business interactions are worse but instead of me boo hooing, I understood exactly where they were coming from. It is no different when we are in other people's countries especially if you want to become a citizen there. Their rules are so much stricter than ours in most other countries and that is the way it should be.. We are not strict enough at all here. It's is awful some of the people we accept here as Citizens who are unwilling to assimilate. I can't stand reading all of this. It makes me sick how ignorant some of you all sound. I did not expect so many negative reactions to the original poster. It actually scares me here the ignorance. Why don't you get out of this country for awhile and see what the rest of the world is like!!! Same with Canada!! They treat you different there too because they know when you are an American. We stand out like a sore thumb up there!! I did not get offended and I have been up there several times because I used to live in Washington state. However, I bet if you assimilated and adapted to their culture as well that they would welcome you. So this has nothing to do with race or anything else like that!!!
This might work in Mexico
This might work in Mexico, since all (yes, ALL) gas stations are owned by the same company. But in the US...no way. There are too many companies, the hurt wouldn't be big enough even if you could get it going on a national level.

Cozumel, Mexico
Quiet, peaceful, and very relaxing. The ocean is unbelievable and very warm. Very romantic!!!
Mexico is a 3rd world country-- that's why all of them are here

she was in Mexico for treatment for cancer, BUT...
From what I heard on GMA a few days ago, the clinic she was in was deplorable. There was even an article about it on the Watchdog website, AND the man running the clinic was NOT a doctor. So, what does that say about the person or persons who took this woman there for treatment?
There is no apparent accountability in Mexico.
Many people go there as a last resort, when all traditional treatment has failed. I think it was Steve McQueen who went there for "coffee enemas". I've never heard a success story yet. I don't think it speaks bad our healthcare system, although Lord knows it needs fixing. Have you ever watched the news when they are in third world countries and you have 20 patients in the same room, no equipment, usually only the most basic medications, little if any skilled medical personnel. When I was in Brazil years ago, they had 2 woman in labor in the SAME bed.
OUTSOURCE OF DMV RECORDS TO MEXICO
Check this out - it seems that the outsourcing is growing and growing. Now the DMV in Orange County, California is outsourcing to Mexico. It seems they are blaming the media for publicizing this, but not admitting to the potential for danger that this poses. See the link below:

Mrs. King
It just says that she was ready to try some alternative treatments. Actually, many, many people go to Mexico and to South America for treatments that are not available here.
Unlike what some of the posters below say, they are not necessarily crackpot treatments. Most other countries do not tie their medical system up in knots like the USA does - they offer the treatment, tell the patient the risks and let the pt. decide whether to assume the risk.
....king....got cut off :)

You may actually be treated better too
in working in that environment, Burger King. It's shameful for the level of difficulty this job is, that the pay is this lousy and the treatment by supervisors/management is disrespectful and horrendous.
Not sure...I HAVE been treated in...
I have been treated several times in France and in the U.K. and found the care excellent and their pricing for everything medically-related far better than in this country. I know about their waiting lists and Canada's too. I'm not sure what the answer is nor is SiCKO giving an answer. I do know that trying to get an appointment in a VA Hospital in this country also has 3-6 month waiting lists.
I wish we all had an answer.....
No way, have you seen the Burger King guy
He seems kind of creepy to me. I have developed enough paranoia working at home alone all these years without some guy who thinks he's a real king sneaking up on me in my back yard or trying to push me off a tall building. No thanks!
Anyone eat chicken a la king?
Chicken a LA King Recipe
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup fresh sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cups evaporated milk or half-and-half
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
3 cups diced cooked chicken
1/4 cup chopped pimiento
Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add mushrooms and green pepper; cook for 5 minutes. Blend in flour, salt, and pepper. Continue stirring and cooking until smooth and bubbly. Gradually add milk and chicken broth, stirring constantly. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. If you'd like a thicker sauce, blend 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water; add to sauce, a little at a time, until desired thickness is reached. Cook for a few more minutes. Add chicken and pimiento; heat through. Serve on toast points or pastry shells or rice. Chicken a la King Recipe serves 6 to 8.
Me, too! And Koontz and King. nm

Sounds like the king in ...
The King and I movie. I would just type what she says "etcetera..." and see what happens.
Some people at SS are treated
better than others. The special ones get paid for their spaces, while some others do NOT.
Wow, that's really awkward that you are being treated
Are you sure they aren't getting these kinds of emails even tho their work shows the same errors on final copy?
This is a tough one.
Can you actually COMMUNICATE with her, instead of emailing? That seems to clear some kinds of things up, when emails just feel too awful.
Good luck. This must be an awful feeling.
ICs -- are you being treated like employees? (sm)
I filed IRS form SS-8, and boy did I get results!!
It took months. I had to fill out the very detailed form describing my work situation. The IRS then notified the MTSO and had them fill out the form. I just received the ruling that I was in fact an employee, so the MTSO now has to pay back taxes and penalties!!
It feels so good when something works the way it should, doesn't it?
You may well have been treated unfairly
There are so many different situations. I'm not saying you weren't treated badly. What I deal with sometimes is ridiculous. Totally made up words, no effort to digest feedback, no effort to look drug spellings up. AND an attitude toward me!
If we were treated like professionals, we might be
Management IS the devil. By the way, what's it like up there in mananagement, with your 6-figure income, your executive healthcare, and salary-not-hourly status? Especially when you sit in your office all day surfing Amazon & eBay? Must be nice, Beelzebub. But I'll never sell my soul for it.
So true!!. You can only be treated bad if you

You have to be psychic to be treated.

That is interesting, I saw her on Larry King
and he asked why she started the school there and not to help kids here and her answer was because in this country we had a public school system for the kids to go to.
I would call giving away cars to her audience giving to needy people here, I couldn't even afford tickets to go see her show if I wanted. I have always liked Oprah over the years, but lately I am just disappointed in her.
King Faisal Hospital
They have a web site, I just looked at it. They have a listing for an MT.
See http://kfshrcj.org/channels
Interesting. I'll check on Dubai later.
Never been treated so badly in my life
Just signed on with a company, had 1 week of work, now I am on my second week with no work. I am a single mother with children to feed...it's just not right. Searching for a new job and have 3 offers on the table already......
How many jobs do we take until we might be treated decent
I am on my third in a year
Which companies were you at where you were not treated very well. I am job hunting and would like
to know.
It's just one more reason why MTs are treated like dirt. (nm)
:/
i've been very well treated by my state's
BC/BS -- and have had several expensive accidents...but maybe it depends on your state too.
For what it's worth, I don't think that you were treated dirty...sm
They decided to go to EMR, which is their choice. It sounds as if you financially made out extremely well (very, very well) doing their transcription. How about charging a nominal fee to assist them in setting this up? In the end how do you know that the EMR will work out for them, and 3 or 4 months later they decide to go back to using a MT? It sounds like you made out like a bandit doing their work, and for what it's worth I would be quite reasonable fee-wise with this one in the hope that they may retain your services in the future. I don't think that you are going to run into too many gravy situations making $100.00 dollars an hour doing MT, and acyually they are not treating you dirty by deciding to try EMR.
You LET self be treated bad. Hard to feel sorry

treated badly and pentalized
Has anybody here had a company treat you badly because you want to work? I was offered a full-time employee position. I took it and then I was barely getting 200 lines a day. I was also told I would have a back up account. When I questioned what was going on, I was given the cold shoulder. What's the deal? I want to work! I am use to getting at least 1500 lines a day.
I concur....MTs are treated with respect at MDI-MD....
Best MTSO out there, in my opinion.
Anyone ever work at King Faisal Hospital
in Riyadh? I seriously have been thinking about it. They pay big bucks from what I've heard, no taxes, free housing, air-fare, vacation, medical, etc. Don't know how safe it is anymore since the war.
Has anyone actually left MT to work at Burger King?
I am just about ready to throw in the towel. Just wondering if others have left MT and worked at Burger King or places like that? Thanks!
