Because...I worked so hard to find it. You can to if you try..nm

Well, if you're willing to give up what you have worked hard
Oy....
well i worked for a "teaching" hospital before and it was not A LOT of hard dictators, in fact
ESLs are everywhere and she already stated she has lots of ESLs where she is at anyway. that isn't her concern.
I was merely suggesting the OP (not you) might could work her 2 days off there to get a feel for the work load, ethics, and environment as well as some office chit chat to get a feel for the place. of course, we all know what you start with isn't necessarily what you end with and that is a given.
YES, your email has COMPLETE protection on this site. We have worked VERY hard to make sure
that e-mail addresses are protected. Spheris did not glean your email address from this site. In the meantime, if you enter your email address in the E-mail field, you can be emailed, but the sender cannot see your email address. They have no idea WHAT your email address is. ONLY if YOU reply to them will the sender then find out what it is. If you have further questions, email me and we'll discuss it.
Compare again and if you have a discrepancy, email me directly. We worked very hard to create this
free software with extra features others counters do not have. We have tested and retested the counting capability as compared to others and it operates correctly.

Worked in clinic for 30 yrs and have tinnitus. I am used to back ground noise, hard to work

When does it occur? On boot up? downloading? other?

This is not a situation that I would have allowed to occur in the first place.
Get a contract written immediately and get it signed. Detail what you will do as part of your service, the timeframe, what your charge will be, etc. Don't be afraid to go into too much detail since they obviously are big on detail themselves. If they accept your terms, great. If not, then they are welcome to find someone else (good luck to them on that one!)
What you describe sounds more like an employee than an IC. Explain to them that they could be liable for your taxes and penalties should the IRS determine that you are indeed their employee; that alone should be enough to stop the cheapskate in his tracks
You need to be a professional and make sound financial decisions for your business. Let them know that when these new procedure will go into effect and then STICK WITH IT. Don't cave in.
Do you think pc attacks only occur at night? They are looking for open pc all the time.
:P
If you think attacks only occur at night, better tell the folks on the other side of the world, they
:p
If it rains hard, the wind blows hard and there are trees
nearby, it snows heavily it will mess up the signal. The speed is not constant, sometimes as slow as dial-up, but at least still connected. Many companies will not allow satellite.
So, you think it is okay for hard-working MTs to earn 7-8 cpl for their hard work?? nm

proud to be one
You are an idiot to presume this is the only way one becomes a single mother. If you didn't have ice running in those veins of yours you would be able to empathize with the OP, obviously you can't and we understand that. You have not been there, done that, all we ask is that you to keep your ignorance to yourself. 
you must be SO proud
of your son. How mature he must be to have done basic at 17! Wow, guess you've been a GREAT mom! God Bless your child and I will remember him in my prayers. I hope he doesn't have to go to Iraq. I don't know yet what my son's gonna do, I just hope I can be strong and allow him to make his own decision! Have a wonderful reunion! 
Proud?!?!?!
That is absolutely disturbing that you are actually proud that you filed for bankruptcy. I am against bankruptcy unless there has been some sort of tragedy, ie. death, disability, illness, etc., but not just because you were to darn stupid to stop taking out loans, getting credit cards, or just out having a shopping spree because you felt like it and didn't have the money. How fricken pathetic! If I were you, I would not be proud that you filed for bankruptcy!
I would definitely be proud of the former
bank manger position. It takes someone with real brains to do that job. LOL. You might as well just have said that you were a manager at K-Mart.
I am proud
I am so proud of you for being on top of things. Good job, my dear.
ain't too proud to beg --
Unbelievably, at age 41, having been completely self-sufficient my entire life, now raising a 5-y/o w/no child support, I actually had to apply for food stamps in my state... As long as my income remains below $1400 monthly, I qualify for $300 in food assistance... sad state of affairs..Also, now recieve MedicAid cost free for my child.. Last time I checked, you gotta do what you gotta do...
I am proud of you!! nm

I am SO PROUD OF YOU!!
You are absolutely doing the right thing.. hang in there.
Proud Mom
I have an 8-year-old boy and had the pleasure of attending a Math Shootout at his school today. This is where they take the top 5 students in each second grade class in either addition and subtraction and put them up against each other until there is a winner. My son was in the subtraction group. He didn't win, but he came very, very close! I was really proud of him and all of the kids as they did a great job!
I am proud of you!! We should all...
I am very proud of you!! We should all stand up for this!! There are a lot of docs who don't know that there work is being offshored, and many patients who would probably be irate if they knew their information was going overseas. I say if any other country wants to do MT work, they should get their own docs dictating. Someone obviously got it started here...they should do their own thing and leave the US reports to us!
Be Proud
I am proud of these Bigh US Players who have 70% of the Indian Medical Transcription Offshore Revenues. They do not have a myopic view of the world and treat the world as a large internet village. Google, Yahoo, MS all have subsidiaries in India where softwares are developed as Indians are very intelligent. Well Disgusted & Ashamed, why do you not set up a business only for Americans. You may not last long before you see RED in your financial statements.
47 and proud
Another 47-year-old CMT and proud of it!!!! As I have mentioned before, I think getting certified is individual preference and those of us that have obtained CMT status do not need bashed for doing so. I would not say anything against an MT that did not want to be certified. That is his/her own decision. As for myself, I am very proud of my CMT status. I worked long and hard to obtain my certification. I have been in the industry for 20+ years!
I would be proud of that title too!
Don't listen to them. You have a right to brag - carry on former bank manager.
Medquist must be so PROUD of you!!
Chuck you Farley! You are a disgusting pig.
I'm with you 100%, Sheri, and am very proud of your

Do I Make You Proud?
This would be a great song for graduation, don't you think?
Congratulations!! I'm Very Proud of You! SM
I, too, took the beta RMT test and I was ecstatic when I found out I passed. I was a housewife and depended on my now ex-husband, so plugging away at school and putting everything into becoming an MT was a milestone for me. I jumped on the chance to become registered.
Not to mention, for those who took the test in July, we only had a week or so to study and we totally missed out on the RMT test prep packages that are available now. It's something to be proud of, I think.
Awesome job!
Amanda, RMT 
you make me proud
you are on your way to more success. Everything is put in our lives for a reason - good or bad - you perservered and are seeing the results. What a bright light for someone who is going through the same thing you have been through. And what wonderful examples of how to keep yourself on track. I wish you continued blessings.
To Proud Member of AAMT: I think it's just as
Things in this field have changed for the worse over the past years. Salaries have decreased, yet expectations have risen. Benefits are contingent upon production, yet a good share of the time production can't be met due to complications outside of the MT's control. When it comes to taking the losses due to changes in the field such as offshore outsourcing and technologic advancements, it isn't the clients or the service owners taking the major hit. It's the transcriptionists. Yet AAMT has done NOTHING to help the transcriptionists in general. In fact, it has gone out of its way to PROMOTE offshore outsourcing and even to change some of the guidelines in the newly published, amended BOS to accommodate voice recognition and other technology geared to replace the MT or relegate transcription to other forms labeled "editors", which in reality involve retyping whole reports or major portions of reports at a cut in pay, of course.
All anyone, newbies included, needs to do is to look at the history of the medical transcription field, see the changes, and then see how much AAMT did to promote the worth of the Transcriptionist in this country. The depressing message isn't coming from those speaking against AAMT, it is coming from the consequences resulting from the actions of the AAMT. One fact alone can depress a newbie, and that is to look at the average line rate in 1995 compared to the average line rate now in 2005. Thank you, AAMT, for promoting that.
We are so proud of you...now STAY STRONG!!!
He will be trying to worm his way back into the household. Be firm, be strong! Set a time limit (in your mind, but to him also should he start begging) that you WILL BE SEPARATED FOR A SET AMOUNT OF TIME no matter how much he begs or how much you might start to miss him. Maybe 6 months or thereabouts. By that time, I think you will be SOOOoo glad you booted him out!
Please let your community's support system know you need a little help. Get the word out that you need a car. I'll bet a car shows up! Probably not a real spiffy car, but transportation nonetheless! Let your neighbors (if you have any)know what the situation is so they can be on the lookout for him and watch over you.
Please accept help and counseling from whatever community support groups there are to help bolster you resolve!!! If you have a neighborhood patrol (depending on your area...here, we have senior citizens that patrol neighborhoods in police cars, checking homes for people on vacation, etc) have them swing by the house often just to make a statement that someone is watching out for you. Even the police might do this if you are not out in the boonies. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU AND KEEP US POSTED.
Hey, with ideas like your's, I'd be proud to be your daughter!
;o) It's been fun talking to you! Have a good evening!! See you at the polls in 2008!
That is something to be proud of. I've never smoked
and I'm about as antismoking as you can get. My parents smoked most of my life and 3 of my 5 siblings smoke/smoked. It is a disgusting habit and unfortunately many of us have to suffer the dangers of second-hand smoke. Glad you were able to kick the habit and it certainly is reason to celebrate and pat yourself on the back.
Congrats to your daughter! You have every right to be proud!
:-)
Rich parents, huh? I bet they're so proud of their little girl ...
I can't figure out why she keeps doing this - she's so easy to trace and she gets caught so easily. I guess she's a couple sandwiches short of a picnic. I hope everyone sees her name on this board. Her name will be mud in this industry and maybe whoever is employing her will kick her to the curb and give her job to a decent, deserving person. I wonder if she's even an MT, now that I think about it ...
I used to be semi-proud! At least content that I was doing well, but hearing these #s
thrown around constantly has really done a number on my job self-esteem. If they use normals to hit those high #s, which I really think they must, I just wish they would post that for all of us - know what I mean? Again, I can't imagine being a newbie and reading that everyone hits those #s. I'd probably give up. I hit a bunch of Ops once where the guy did have a standard - cataract surgeries. I did about 20 in an hour, and the count was HUGE - like 500 lines? I nearly fainted, but that only happened once, and my account just does not permit it, nor do most accounts I have as back-ups, come to think of it! I know a lot of MTs in my company have their "canned" text, like opening paragraphs for Op reports, and they just stick them in no matter what is dictated as the opening. I think that's terrible, and would NEVER do that. Plus now they will be getting "canned" themselves if they keep it up!! New company policies!
Proud owner of Alaskan Malamute!
I was so happy to see the AKC finally recognize the Alaskan Malamute this past weekend with the national championship. Cane is 3 years old and is nothing less than a part of the family. He honestly thinks and acts like one of the family. It is so amazing how smart dogs can be!
Very proud of you, you stick to your guns, and when the going gets tough,
be even stronger. Tie another knot and all of that. You are on the way to a healthier life for you and your children. You will survive.
1600/day proud, 1100 distressed and sad.
I feel like a hen in a henhouse. Give me decent food, great co-egg-layin' buddies, and show me ya love me once in a while with some bread and I'll put out double-yolkers. Put in a rooster that just likes to give it to me up the butt over and over again without leavin a little sumthin' sumthin' on the nightstand afterwards, well, then...need I say more really.
But that's just me.
Thanks, proud prude, for another point of view on this....
Good idea with the dashes. I do wish I didn't
have to hear the words in my ear, either. Why do they feel they need to repeat that?
Although, putting the dashes doesn't really hide what has been said.
I WOULD be really PO'd if I got a look at my medical record and found a less-than-attractive quote in black and white. I'd prob. demand it be removed.
Spying and rating on co-workers and you are proud of it? Your worse than a
cherrypicker.
I'm a bit late, but I'm the proud "mommy" of a miniature schnauzer. :-) nm
Proud ex-CMT here too. I quit 'em back in 1999 - sm
They got almost 3 grand out of me before I wised up. LOL!
I would be proud if my records, with my name erased, could be used to help an MT be treated fairly.
:P
Wish I could afford...
...to do that! I am SO SO SICK OF MQ!!! They are driving me crazy! I am on my 3rd MT Supervisor in three months and still have not heard one word from the latest one. They just don't care about us at all. I understand that's the nature of the biz, but my God, would it kill you just to drop an email and introduce yourself???
Wish I could afford...
my TC? sorry, what's that?
If you can afford it, go for it. sm
Just remember, if you work as an IC you may have a "nonconforming" loan which may give you a little higher interest rate. If you can document your income with pay stubs and W2s as well as income tax forms, you may be "conforming" and be able to get the lowest interest rate possible.
If your credit scores are high enough, you can always do 100% finance with an 80/20 loan which will eliminate PMI monthly payment. Your credit scores need to be 685 or higher for 100% finance.
Shop around for the best interest rate, but DO NOT let everyone pull your credit. Have one loan officer pull your credit report and ask him what your scores are. When you shop to the next loan officer, tell them do not pull your credit report, but here are my scores. Just give them your scores and ask what is the best interest rate they can give you. The more people who pull your credit report, the lower the score goes. It drops 2 or 3 points each time it is pulled by mortgage loan officers.
Also, you can buy down to a lower rate. So, if they quote you 5.75%, you can buy that down probably to 5.3% for 0.375% of the total mortgage you are borrowing (which in reality is 0.375 of 1 point).
I hope this advice helps - good luck. I say go for it! No better feeling than to own your own home.
I bought a new house last year and we just refinanced and closed on Friday. That is why all of this information is so fresh in my mind. Also, my sister is a mortgage loan officer, so she helped me a lot and explained how things work.
Always ask what your closing costs will be - different mortgage brokers charge differently. One may be $4000 and another may be $8000. That is a huge difference. Some want more profit, others are reasonable.
Best of luck to you. 
Here is the best if you can afford it.

Which can you afford more?
The emergency room bill....or the loss of your DH?
I'm not trying to be harsh, but money concerns should not keep you from getting medical help when it is needed and warranted.
It really sounds like some kind of allergic reaction. But it may also be something harmless. I agree with the other poster about calling your MD. You cannot fool around with stuff like this.
Me too! I can't afford NOT to be an MT!
