Now you've piqued my curiosity
What is the book about?
I'd be lyin' if I said my curiosity wasn't piqued...
So, what else is there to do in this field of transcription (with a national) that isn't just a lateral move? 
Whatcha get?
I know whatcha mean
I worked for a neurologist. People would come in complaining about not feeling good and having difficulties sleeping.
Then in the H&P we find out why: Smoke 1-1/2 packs a day; drinks 4-6 glasses of tea and 4-5 cokes a day; drinks a 6-pack daily and a 30-pack on the weekends; is 75 pounds overweight; doesn't exercise; watches TV until 2 a.m.
I always wanted to tell 'em: You're at the wrong doctor's office, you do-do! You need to be at the psych's office! LOL
I know whatcha mean!
A co-working of mine used to refer to this phenomenon as "trying to type with gorilla gloves on"...lol I can see it now! It really does seem like there is a disconnect between our brains and our fingers sometimes doesn't it?
Whatcha got? Pay? Benefits? SM
How does your deal work?
Don't know. Whatcha having and what time should I be there? nm
:+
So, whatcha doin now?
I've been thinking about a career change...but not sure...what are you doing now, if you don't mind my asking? 
MODERATOR-Whatcha think????
Can we do it? I think it would be great to have support from fellow MTs. We all listen to reports all day about people who need to get healthier, we need to hold ourselves to that too!
Good luck to you..whatcha doin' now?

Whatcha wearing and who you're emailing
I had read someone's complaints about complaining yesterday, while browing the board. I got an email from one of my girlfriends just now, telling me she had been called in for receiving too many emails and given a 90 day verbal warning. I used to work for a company that told me I made too many personal phone calls and worried I was not dressed professionally enough. I used to have to pick up the CEO's cleaning and make sure all the buttons were on his shirts and there were no wrinkles. Filling him a pitcher of water on his desk and leaving no fingerprints on a glass to go with it. Let's remember that, today, as we sit in our sweats, being comfortable, or if the phone rings and we visit for 10 minutes, or if we get a cute email and want to send it to friends. No boss towering over us......at least in our home.
its curiosity!
i work for a national, 5 yr now. Never have seen anyones face. Have been invited to office parties if i wanted to travel a distance...
sometimes my co's personnel are more friendly than professional...sometimes not. I've had personal e/m's from a couple (QA)
I've wondered if the reality of those faces would match my voice impressions, but it doesn't really bother me to never see them. Now if they had 4 legs, i'd be more inclined to visit!!
Just out of curiosity...
What sort of home businesses are you involved in? I also have a home business I am truly enjoying, but for now I just do it as a supplemental income for the extra things. I have become a PartyLite consultant and have been doing this for about the last two months. I really enjoy getting out of my house and having shows selling great quality candles (which I love myself) and meeting new people. Hope you find another true passion and have fun doing it! Good luck to you!
just out of curiosity
why would you substitute 3 Keystrokes (sxy) for 2 keystrokes (60)? I don't find numbers any harder to type than letters, so for me this is just adding keystrokes.
Just out of curiosity...
How long have you been an MT? I had planned to take the test last summer after being an MT for 4 years, but didn't feel prepared. I'm going to do a lot more studying and take it next year. Just wondered how long you've been an MT that the test was no sweat. In my prep last spring, I discovered there was a lot of stuff I knew, but there was also a lot of stuff I didn't! That's why I decided not to take it.
out of curiosity...
where did you receive your training? I know this is kind of OT, but I am thinking of doing MT and am still researching.
You could check out the job board or search "companies that hire newbies". It returned a few entries for me that have lists of companies that hire new MTs. Good luck with your search!

Someone who is currently employed could probably help you out more but maybe that will help for a start.
Out of curiosity
What platform did go from and go to? Did that make sense?
I can tell it's Monday and my mind isn't fully in logical mode yet, lol!
Whatcha wanna bet these not so long lived jobs are the same few companies?
:P
how 'bout this one?
I was reading through a patient's H&P and saw this:
"Patient is 73 years old, stool spry and lively."
Quite a visual, that was...
How 'bout going further than that, and
actually starting a UNION?
It could be 'USMTU' (United States MT Union', or maybe
'MTWA' (Medical Transcription Workers of America.) It'd be nice to actually put 'AMERICA' back in the name, (and Indians need not, and MAY not, apply.)
curiosity, yeah right
and who in the heck do you think you are to tell me this isn't where i can present MY point of view???? Excuuuuuse me -- was this a gripe-only board for sourpuss' like yourself?? If so, let the administrator tell me so, and you can just go on an wallow in your self-imposed misery.
of course, I know 'bout as much as the docs do...sm
yeah, and that's why I'm here typing and they're out on their yacht somewhere, right? But I do try to diagnose, even did this when I worked for a doc in the back office. And sometimes I was actually right!
'bout time!
:
and soon new Sopranos...or how 'bout...sm
Extreme Home Makeover....that's my favorite show...
new Sopranos in March...new Deadwood soon, and new Carnivale soon and too bad they canceled SIX FEET UNDER but you can still catch the first 6 seasons in reruns.
I love that HBO....
LOL - how 'bout dysfunctional since
How 'bout Amphion?
As well it SHOULD! 'Bout TIME, too!

Out of curiosity, is UnitedTran the same as TranSCAM? - nm

Out of curiosity, what are the ridiculous demands?
Just curious what they might be.
out of curiosity, is this MTSO in California? NM

I was getting excited.
I was thinking you were going to say you had rubbed it all over you and it somehow helped.
Now I'm just excited!
So many options. I'm going to look into several of these suggestions tomorrow when my mom comes up.
Just can't get excited about ....sm
some guy who doesn't wear deodorant. I used to think he was pretty cute until he annouced that to the world. Pretty much ruined my image of him.
I did...once...I got all excited but..sm
After years of waiting to get called, I finally did. Made arrangements with my work, took the day off. The lawyers asked a lot of questions like: Do you have any acquaintances in law enforcement, have you ever had a run in with the police, do you think you could be fair and impartial, that kind of stuff. The case was for so-called excessive use of force by the police and the guy was one of our local druggies.
Long story short...I spent 6 hours downtown at the courthouse, they needed 13 jurors, I was #14. It was interesting though, to go through the process.
how 'bout a camera on that spot?
How 'bout comparing us to PA's, RNs, or even doctors? (nm)

Out of curiosity, how soon do you think they should be able to accomplish a decent amount?

I check jobs in my specialty out of curiosity.
Have only applied for three in a year though and those were to possibly replace a PT job I have with a better PT job. The FT job I have I am content with for now.
Be careful not to become known as applying all over the place. This is when it is a good time to get information from the Company board when you see an opening. Be sure you want to be considered before you apply. It is a small MT world with the better companies. This is my thought anyway.
Not Recruiter, Just Excited
Not a recruiter, never have been, wouldn't want to be. Seeking honest answers for something someone with no experience things may be too good to be true. Thank you for your opinion, though.
I must have been vewwwy excited!
x
that's okay, you are just excited and it is late--sm
and you have probably been typing all day, so the ol' fingers probably aren't working right. I wish you all the best! You are doing what I have only dreamed of my whole life! Love to write and *settled* for typing transcription. Good Luck to you!
I was excited until I realized you have to buy this..

I am so excited to see this movie.
I never saw his other 2 movies, but I am so glad he is making this, and I hope everyone will watch it.
He mentioned on Oprah that health insurance companies are required by law to turn a profit (for the benefit of their stock holders), and in order to turn a big profit they feel they need to deny care to patients that need it. The laws obviously need to be changed, and healthcare needs to be a right, not an outrageously expensive privilege!
Geez this gets me excited!
I just ordered this program yesterday and am SO anxious for it to arrive. I have been an MT for about 4 months using only the Expander build into Inscribe. I have a feeling my whole world is about to change. THANKS for all the participation on this thread
Don't you love it when you get all excited s/m
to get a 16-minute report, and then it ends up being 2 pages long? I was thinking, "all right! Lines!', and she spends so much time p-ing around, flipping through the chart, yawning, etc., I can practically type right along with her. Erg.....
how 'bout Bay??? Or a local auction house, or
take pictures to local jewlers. (Wouldn't recommend taking the original on first visits). ebay might also give you some information re: comparables.
how 'bout a lovely gift certificate...nm
I hope they get put out of business. 'Bout time the
HMOs are ruining the health industry. Many fine docs have quit 'cause they don't like pencil-pushers telling 'em what to do. And you KNOW they're behind all that 'bottom line' BS that has driving our work offshore.
Glad to see the suit being brought against them, and hope that THIS time they get taken down.
Here's what I gots to say 'bout all diss stuff...
1. How long have you worked as a medical transcriptionist? 5+ years.
2. What certification have you received? None.
3. What attracted you to pursuing a career in medical transcription? The ad in the local paper and the fact I was penniless and willing to do anything...even if it was morally/legally questionable.
4. What type of environment do you work in (i.e. from home, physician’s office, hospital, other). Home.
5. What do you think are the most important skills a medical Transcriptionist should have? A sense of humor and ability to acquire sedatives easily.
6. Did some skills come naturally to you, while others required more practice? Always been zippy on the keys and always been willing to learn or teach myself whatever I needed to, to get a job done. I could use a hand with anger management 101 though.
7. In addition to transcribing medical reports, do you engage in other forms of business writing while on the job (such as memos, proposals, or progress reports, etc.) to clients, coworkers, or supervisors? Nope.
8. What do you think is the most difficult aspect of medical transcription? Continuing to do it despite it messing with your head knowing this line of work is steadily going down the globalization crapper.
9. What do you find to be the easiest aspect of medical transcription? X about it. :-D
10. As a medical transcriptionist, do you often need to collaborate with others to ensure that all the information in your reports is correct? I don't understand this question, so I guess I don't do whatever this is.
How 'bout we all shut up and go to work, loool
