Wasnt that a rip. They must have called every person on every account to work. I cant possibly
figure that mentality. PLUS we get nothing extra for weekends, nothing extra for holidays ZIP. They overload the accounts and so we have no work. Why would they pay weekends or holidays when they play this game. Somebody is pocketing something but it AINT THE MTs. I hope every MT in that office inundates Mt. Laurel with complaints until they replaced the people that did this and not to mention their STUPID STUPID PICKY MQ point plan. That is a horrendous joke. Somebody up there needs to be removed and quickly.
Link did not work right. Just put her name in the seach field. nm
Do not work for her. She is known for not paying. nm

I don't work for them but I think they can get away with paying less than min wage
becuase you are an IC and not an employee.
If you're an employee then, yes, I'd say you'd have a leg to stand on but if they have min line/production requirements then more than likely those min requirements would equal out to at least min wage so it would still fall back on you. These MTSOs are usually pretty savvy about getting around legal issues.

Does anyone work a part time job that is NOT transcribing or related to the transcription field?
If so, what??
oil field pers a "per diem" which is a set amt of money they get to show up for work that day,

Hospitals should be paying us extra to NOT go to work
It would be so so so easy to show how to win malpractice cases with what I know about the medical transcription system as it is operating now.
What are you paying your MTs? If you're only paying 7 or 8 cpl
and expecting extremely experienced MTs, forget it. You're not going to get it. If, however, you're willing to pay 9 or more cpl then you will find what you're looking for. There ARE experienced MTs out there who will work their fingers to the bone IF they are compensated well and treated with respect.
ATT- I was paying $320 for 7000 minutes, I am now paying $175 for 5000 minutes in CA. nm

Possibly because gas could go up even further SM
Katrina affected many refineries. Gas prices are rising VERY quickly now, so people could be filling before it goes up even more.
This could quite possibly have been - sm
I've just had the worst and the most unproductive working day of my life. After several days of not a heck of a lot of work, I sat down today hoping to make up some lines. So my internet wigs out on me. Cable guy comes, fixes problem, I'm back in business. About 3 ridiculous family emergencies later (loads of sarcasm here), my phone goes on the charger and I ignore the constant ringing for 2 hours. Since I work at home, everyone thinks I've got loads of time to chat.
My SIL was kind enough to take my boys to the pool today. I was so happy to know that I would have 4 hours of peace and quiet to be able to transcribe. But since my internet was not working from right after they left until the moment they returned, that didn't happen. My son comes home from the pool with bleeding and raw feet (Athlete's foot) that I have had no success at treating with the Tinactin the doctor told me to use. So, I A&D his feet, put some socks on, back to work. Then my youngest dumps a box of Cheezit crackers on the floor and decides he will walk on them until they are very finely crushed. After an hour in the kitchen, I'm back to work. Not for long though. Older son decides he wants a bowl of coco krispies. They also end up on the floor, scattered from one end to the other. Then big brother decides to use his younger brother as his sketch board. So I spend about 20 minutes trying to get pen off my little one's face.
Please somebody, tell me I am not the only one with these problems. I'm beginning to think the only time I will be able to work and actually accomplish something this summer will be if I work when my little monsters are sleeping, which means no sleep for me. 
Possibly...sm
Have you actually done an "Edit" when your cursor is in the patient name field on doc info screen? I'm not logged in right now, but I think you actually need to edit the patient info ... Of course, on some accounts we are not allowed to do this nor do we have privilege.
you cannot possibly
be the same person.
Ok, did as much as I could possibly do
this morning and my count was 690. That was with excellent dictators and hardly having to stop. Being told 1000 lph, in my opinion, is totally unrealistic.
What could they possibly do that would
cost that much money? Most places of that nature don't charge a fee, but rather are made up of volunteers & activists who work together to try to bring about change.
Possibly
cachectic?
Possibly
cachexia?
What bills could we possibly have?
That was exactly what one doctor said to me when he called wanting my services and I told him what my charge was. He was in a town 15-20 minutes away and since tapes were the "in" thing", I charged for picking up and delivery, minimal charge.
Well, he thought that was ridiculous and told me I didn't have any "expenses" associated with this job, so what was I charging him for other than doing the reports. BTW, he got my name and number from his partner in the office who thought my charges were more than reasonable and willing to pay for it to get what he called "great" service.
Of course, we have no expenses, we live free, not having to eat, buy gas, pay all the same bills they do. You know, the necessities of life!!!!!!
Go figure!!!
wow- someone please explain how that could possibly
or cheaper for that matter, I'm sure Arby's employees are not on the high end wage category!
Is there something wrong with that? Being possibly SM
pregnant and reading junk magazines in the grocery line? She's a person just like you and me. I read junk magazines waiting in line. How could you criticize her for that.
Now I didn't like to see Brad and Jennifer break up. But these stars don't belong to us. They are people, people who have to go to the grocery store, who may indeed possibly be pregnant, and may just have a tummy.
What a statement!
Possibly oblique?

Adhesion possibly
Lisa -- this is what I was writing about before. What you are describing sounds like a trigger point that needs to get resolved. The Chinese call trigger points "blocked energy channels." It could be trapped proteins or by-products of cellular metabolism or scar tissue (adhesion). A well-trained Rolfer or trigger point massage therapist could help here. That's what I meant by not just doing chiropractic alone without soft tissue/body work. The old saying, the knee bone is connected to the hip bone -- by way of muscles, tendons and ligaments. All need attention before it's too late like joint damage! If you're getting numbness, chances are you may have nerve impingement (no diagnosis here). Stretching without working out the trigger point just adds to the muscle flexion or extension problem that tightens around the nerves. If the muscles are out of proper position, so will the nerves in that area. A good resource for you would be a trigger point manual with locations of muscles (insertions points) so you can learn. My recommendation would be to see a qualified Rolfer/trigger point massage therapist to teach you how to help yourself.
Possibly tulips, though I only have a few of them!
Mostly I like anything blue or purple. Love cherry blossoms and also red bud trees.
This can't possibly be for a national as an IC???

Possibly losing my job due to VR...
I was told that the clinic I MT for is considering an expensive VR program. The person that told me works for them too and said that it is about 98% accurate. She also said it might be something I should consider in order for my IC business to grow. Hello? Why would I invest in something I know the medical field would pay for in substitution for hiring an MT? She told me that this VR program costs about $4,000 but she did not know the product make. Is there really a VR product that accurate for that amount of money? If so, then I think it is time for me to get out before I am no longer needed. 
Possibly, but they are the exception,

Hmm, I had even thought about it possibly having an
upgrade, asked about that and the specs are not that specific so don't know about that. I thought upgrade because has gone from almost letter perfect to hardly anything right with it now.
Thanks for the information, that possibly
answered my questions. I know it was good at 1 time, same as you and now it is pure salad. I used to really love and now sorta gritting my teeth.
Sounds to me like you would possibly
fit into the category of at least making minimum wage. I would definitely go and check into that. As with IC no such luck but with your status go and let us know what transpires.
Can you tell me how long you have smoked? Your age possibly?
I am about to quit. Have stopped and started throughout my life. Quitting for a year a few times, for five years once (until I married a smoker). The recovery is wonderful, I recall. Food tastes so much better. And, there is the freedom of not having to have cigs, lighter and an ash tray with you at all times. And yes, you feel better (no one realized how ill one feels while smoking until they quit). This time, I am going to carry nicotine patches with me when I get the urge for nicotine which, I recall, strikes with a vengence when stressful situations arise.
Congratulations, my friend. I like the part where you can run a mile (I just joined a gym yesterday). I know life will be better all the way around. Not to mention the savings $-wise.
Stay focused. We must remember that the end result of cigs is possible lung CA, undoubtedly emphysema, COPD and eventually the need for oxygen supplementation. What a miserable way to end ones life - gasping for breath. (My mom is now on oxygen at the age of 74).
You are in my thoughts as I go about this quitting business for hopefully the very last time.
Possibly Esmarch band?
Google is a good resource for looking up terminology.
Need help on possibly homeschooling a 9th grader
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Could I possibly talk with you through e-mail?
I have some important info regarding the panic attacks your son has had. I know all too well the situation.
scam or possibly truth? sm
My sister is on disability and has decided to return to college. She received a phone call from somebody who told her that since she is on SSD and going back to school that she is eligible for a grant of $5000. All she has to do is allow them to debit her checking account for $300 and she will receive the grant. Sister was desperate financially, so decided to do it. She borrowed the money from our mom and only after the fact told me about it. I'm sure she has been scammed for $300. Has anyone else had this happen and/or could I be right in this matter? I'm curious to hear from anyone on this. Thanks.
re: scam or possibly truth?
This sounds like many of the scams that are happening to the elderly and people on disabilty and the attorney generals from many states are trying to track down these scam artists. On a new station locally they had a story about this scam and the fact that if you are called, asked to give them money for a loan/grant/lottery winnings, etc to say no, write down the phone number or get the information from the person before they hang up. A lot of times the caller will hang up when asked scam concerned questions, and report it to your attorney general as soon as possible. A lot of times they cannot get the money back, but if this person travels from state to state doing this, sometimes they are caught, but usually without the money. Good luck. Just remember everyone if you are asked for money to receive anything that you know does not sound right, please say no, and never, ever give out your bank card number, etc. A woman in one state lost 70,000 to this type of scam until her daughter stepped in when she found out about it, but unfortunately did not get the money back.
Yes, he possibly just said the wrong thing.

How would anyone possibly recognize your vent (SM)
when it desccibes how every Transcriptionist out there feels. Guess it just goes with the business.
If you could possibly get new speakers with plug-in...

LOL! Possibly my husband's cooking?
You should see some of my personal medical reports other people have transcribed. Jeesh, can I sue as a patient for such poorly transcribed reports? Thanks for the laugh...
How could you possibly do any kind of production for either one. Does not seem
fair to either company.
Possibly - good idea - thanks - still
contemplating the recliner - actually had to move one into my office to make way for the Christmas tree - but I bet I would have 2 cats in my lap so must see if that would work!
Gross lines - possibly
I have two surgeons and when the do a lot of consults, hernia, breast cysts, etc. I have been able to get 600+ an hour but that is gross lines and I have physical templates set up for each type of problem. I have done 1100 in 90 minutes but again it was gross lines. I have been doing them for almost ten years and I know what they are going to say before they say it. My only Expander though is auto correct and I often think what I could do with another expander but it is hard to teach this old dog new tricks though after the 1st am going to look at a couple of expanders. But I share with my friends on how I count and try to show them how to increase their line counts so ask her. I am always up for sharing my experience and tricks of the trade as long as I have the time and they don't steal my accounts. Good luck.
Or possibly a person in America who can't...
Can I possibly get some information about this company? nm

Possibly Wild Blue?....sm
I don't live in Oregon, but am in rural western Washington. I know a few MTs who use Wild Blue and are happy with it, so that would be my only suggestion.
I did want to say that I have been using satellite for about three years now (a small local company), have been on no less than 4 different MT platforms, and never had any problems. Yes, satellite can be susceptible to extreme weather...but if you're in a rural area you're about as likely to have your power go out anyway in extreme weather!
Best of luck.
You could possibly find a position working
for a doctor, but not working at home. It would have to be in-house. You need to get a certificate in medical transcription. Can be done at a local community college on from an accredited on-line school. It will take you 12-18 months to complete the certificate based on how much time/effort you put into it. Some companies will hire newbies, but the pay is very, very low and there are few companies that are willing to do that. Right now a lot of working is being offshored and going to voice recognition, so there seem to be an excess of experienced transcriptionists. If you worked in an office most likely you could paid hourly. I'd say $8 to $10/hour is fair for a newbie doing office transcription. If you worked in an at home situation most likely you would get paid on production. For a newbie that is probably 6 to 8 cpl. How much you are able to make depends on several factors; how fast you type, you fund of knowledge, the quality of the dictators, the sound quality of the dictation, the format you are required to work on, etc. For the first couple of years you might average $10/hour.
If you're looking for a quick buck, you're looking in the wrong business. You'd be better off waiting tables.
Good post. I was starting to wonder if possibly - sm
the Grammar Police are, as you said, simply trying to divert the focus of this thread to grammar, spelling & punctuation on this board, when most of us agree it's not important in this type of venue. (hee... maybe we should go on a "punctuation strike", and eliminate it altogether?) Anyway, you are right about doing research, and coming up with a compelling letter and petition. I think much of what has been written here in this forum could be put into it, and the compilation would be pretty powerful.
Or doesn't like it when she is told she is possibly wrong...
She wanted everyone to take her side and say poor you, QA is horrible...and when that didn't happen she freaked out...
If you've never heard of Ebonics, you can't possibly be in NY
Unless you just landed from another country.
Sorry, but I would assume at the very least (and I mean VERY least) 80% of Americans know what Ebonics is.
The very fact you took 'dat' to be a slam to Indians kinda shows something struck a nerve with you.
If you live in NYC as you claimed earlier, I doubt you've been here long.
Flame away, knock yourself out...You sound LESS American with every post. I fail to see how someone inquiring if you were in India would result in such pure unadulterated outrage unless a nerve had been struck.
I'm outta this thread and off to work.
Ammonia possibly. But, do have ventilation and do not inhale while applying it!
