yourself. Immigration has been made into a HUGE issue to distract you from what you should REALLY be concerned about: FOREIGN POLICY. If Americans would sacrifice the 30-60 minutes they waste on TV garbage on any given night and actually PARTICIPATE in their own democracy, they'd be shocked and outraged to know WHERE AND WHAT their tax dollars are actually spent on...
Immigration IS a problem, but NOT in the way we've been led to believe.

Please educate yourself on the issue before
making such ridiculous accusations. "Thinking" is becoming obsolete....just a bunch of lemmings running off the cliff together.
The replies were an attempt to educate...sm
posters about how to do some critical thinking on their own. It's too bad THAT content was lost. :(
Sounds like you need to educate yourself on homeschooling. nm

I care and I do educate myself, but the jury is still out on global warming.

resignation
In the past I have always wrote a simple letter, stating the date I was leaving and that I had appreciated the experience I had gained with them but that circumstances change and at this point it was better to move on to new and different opportunities, yadda, yadda, yadda... Sometimes I really wanted to say Take this JOB and #!@%@#! But you never know when you will need the reference, so it's always better to be professional about it
re resignation
I apparently responded just as your post was being moved; could have almost written it myself. My guess is that you're leaving the Q and going to MDI-MD right? I did! Enjoy your freedom!!!
Withdraw your resignation.
If this new company is already pulling stuff with you before you're hired, it will only get worse.
Yes, I agree with the OP, withdraw your resignation but ALSO ...sm
make sure you make a very severe complaint about the recruiter/individual who acted in this manner.
I would write the CEO, COO and Board of Directors if at all possible. The Human Resources Director should know as well.
Bless your heart.
Email reply to her resignation
I forgot to post the email I sent her on the day she quit. Here it is:
Vanessa,
This is very unfortunate! We have not received the files we assigned you for 6/30 submission and you are not answering your phone. I am dismayed by your lack of professionalism in not even giving us the courtesy of saying you will not do the work. That said, what personal problems you may have, I hope you work them out.
Sammy

I regret to inform that I can no longer work for SMT because of personal issues that need my immediate attention. I am sorry for the lack of notice, but it could not be avoided. I am sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you.
Thank you,

Proper way to submit resignation?
How much information does one have to include in a resignation? Just the date effective? Do you need to give the reasons in the resignation? TIA!
Resignation from a large MTSO...sm
Dear Sirs:
I am turning in my resignation with giving the required 2 weeks notice. I have enjoyed working for your organization for 10 of the past 11 years; however, I feel that I must step down at this time. Over the past year I have been asked increasingly to work outside my schedule because work isn't available during my daytime shift because you're now sending the work on the account overseas overnight, leaving little work for the day shift employees. In addition, the benefits have decreased and while my cost of living has gone up, requests for a line rate increase to 8.5 cpl have been denied. You forget that I am a top producer and transcribe over 2500 lines a day & have QA scores of 99-100, so perhaps you'll enjoy paying benefits for 2 employees to replace my production.
You may wonder where I am going to work. I have found a small mom and pops company that refuses to send our work outside of the US. I will have guaranteed work from the same doctors each day and will have 24 hours to return work that I obtain Monday through Thursday, and Friday work received will be due back by Monday afternoon. This will allow me to schedule my own work hours. They are going to be paying me more than you are, because they realize that hiring one excellent Transcriptionist and paying them more per line is cheaper than hiring 2 inferior transcriptionsts, especially when you consider the cost of keeping that extra employee working for you. The owner of this company is well known to take very good care of the employees and not jerk them around, and that is the way they also treat their clients. Doctors love them for their dependability and accuracy of reports, and knowing that work will not leave the US unless they specifically request it do so.
Sincerely,
Suzie Q Transcriptionist
Tips on resignation letter
I am getting ready to resign from a company I have been with for many years. I haven't written a resignation letter in years. Should I detail why I am leaving or just tell them I am leaving? I just want to be as professional as possible, but thought just a few lines telling them why might be appropriate. I will be sending this to my new manager who I have never talked to and who has only been there a couple of weeks.
Anyway, since I haven't done one in so long, just wanted some advice.
TIA
I was in the same situation. I E mailed my resignation.
Offer up a small notice. They still have your last paycheck to send you and they sound really nasty. Do the minimal amount to do for them, be professional to them and then get out as quick as you can. Remember, though, if you want your check, just do what you can to make sure you seem professional and not stooping to their level. But if you are happily leaving, e mail notice ASAP and forget about them except for your small notice obligation and focus mentally on your blessings. This will get you through the difficult time left with them. THen let go of them and forget them. Trust me. I had trust issues with jobs for 6 months after a bad experience with 1 MTSO, and am just letting go now. Above all, preserve your self-esteem, be professional and courteous, but get out. Good luck!
Resignation letter ideas
I want to put in my two weeks' notice. I haven't had to do this since working at home. Just an e-mail to the supervisor? Should I cc it to the manager? Also, I would like to make known how much I like my supervisor.
Suggestions?
Now can we please throw away ....
the AAMT Book of style for Medical Transcription - or better yet, send all of our copies to India. They will need them more than we will. We have at least been through grammar school and now that the AAMT book is full of flaws, but because the industry standard is to follow the Book of Style we have had to compromise our teachings by our own education system to do what the "Book" says. YUCK - I have hated that book. My aunt was an University English teacher - way smarter than anyone who wrote that book. I call her for clarification.
Yes, and I believe the responses were to throw the bum out
if he gets even the tiniest bit annoying. We also can't forget the comments about having a man support us, not having to work and being told what to do.
I might as well throw my opinion in there. sm
There have been so many opinions posted, I might as well give you MY best advice: Call your husband and talk to him. Just be honest. Tell it to him exactly like you told us - that you and the kids have really been missing him and were looking forward to seeing him, and that you were kind of hurt when he said not to come. Be honest with him, and give him a chance to be honest with you. Actually listen to his reasons and try to understand his line of thinking. At the very least, you'll have let him know how you feel, and he deserves to know that and have the chance to explain away your fears. The posters below don't know you, or your marriage, and that's OK because they were trying to help. But bottom line is this - he's your husband and you love each other for a reason. He's not going to want you to spend the next days/weeks feeling bad and he'll take the time to make you feel better.
Don't throw in the towel yet.
I know things may not seem positive right now but look at counseling as a possible way of turning this all around. Try to get your husband interested in a hobby or something. It sounds as though he has no zest for life anymore. If he is not happy with himself it can cause problems in your relationship.
Think I am gonna throw up! ugh! nm

To throw a statement out such as a
single mother just means, again, nothing more than a person working, same as a divorced mother or father but you know, you never hardly hear that term, do you? People don’t go around saying I am a married mother as they do with I am a single mother. I will say again, to me that denotes just another person in the work force, nothing more, nothing less. Seems like you went off the deep end trying to make something out of the fact that I said 1 person working is just like another. No favoritism for anyone in the work field.
put the throw rugs back. nm

Actually, throw out the BOS and use the physician's preference.
I learned that disc is eyes, disk is computer disk, and disc/disk for back is up to the account preferences. The doctors do not care what some stupid AAMT BOS book says because it's THEIR notes and they aren't regulated by the AAMT.
When is it time to throw in the towel entirely?
It doesn't work for me to be a fulltime employee for a big national. However, it doesn't work to be an IC for a small MTSO either. The obvious middle of the road would be SE for a medium sized company. However, it seems like that just takes the bad from employee and combines it with the bad from IC. I wonder if I'll ever find a good place to work. I should just bag MT entirely. I know I'm not the best MT or employee. I'm not perfect. There are a lot better MTs out there. I'm not all that bad either. Maybe I could make a living posting stupid auctions on ebay. 
I do not keep anything - pretty much give it away or throw it away.
I have no piles of anything around. I am a neat and tidy "freak". As far as finances, I keep a check book, but could not tell you where every penny went or is. As long as I am within $200 from the actual balance +/-, I am happy. I use MAC card for everything, don't keep much cash in hand, and pay my bills on line most times.
I have a stress free life most days, other than the daily little peaks and valleys related to work. Our family just lives life and we don't sweat the small stuff. It is simple once you get the hang of it. You need to learn to "let go" of "stuff" whether it be monetary things or emotional controlling issues. Be carefree sometimes and just live life to the fullest and stop worrying what anything is "worth". Some things are only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it, and in most cases, it is not much!
I am happy giving things away if someone can use them. It makes your heart feel good to help somebody out once in a while.
So, get rid of all of the "stuff" you have piled up and live carefree for a while. Let me know how it goes! You will be much happier!
Yes - hubby is the pack rat. I throw everything that is not being used out.
After I read the newspaper, it is in the trash. Nothing sits around. Hubby would save everything; however, he works shift work, so when he is at work, I toss things in the trast. My home is neat and clean and everything is in its place all of the time!
Taught my 2 teens to be the same way - Love neat and clean and organized!
My home is not enjoyable if crap is everywhere - in my opinion.
Yes, as below and throw in some black olives
Don't mind me, I just need to throw a little fit and gripe a little!
I HATE HATE HATE this dictator. This is how he dictates if I were to strictly adhere to the verbatim rules of transcribing:
PROCEDURES PERFORMED: Cysto, retro, uretero with stent placement.
INDICATIONS: This is a lady who had perc litho by Dr. X. She had a perc tube. She had a nephro stent. On the pull of the nephro stent, did an antegrade nephro and apparently had obstruction in the ureter which was a probable stone. She was set up for a cysto retro Friday, but she ate, so she was set up for this morning. She understands the risks, options, complications, etc.
HE DRIVES ME INSANE! He has a very conversational style of dictating that makes it incredibly hard to make sense of his reports! He abbreviates everything, makes up his own words, and has been known to dictate one-word sentences!!!!!
We need a firing squad for dictators like this! 
Breath in, breath out. Okay, I'm finished now. I'm just having one of those days, crappy dictators, communication channels between my brain and my fingers have broken down, and I just need a nap!
Back to work.
Please tell me you are worth working for. That you don't throw
don't only have mush mouths for dictators, that you are not difficult to work for and put ridiculous requirements on us. I have worked for several people who boasted how wonderful their company, pay was great, but ended up having a slow platform, client specifics the size of telephone books, not enough work and being pushed off onto other accounts that only slow me down even more, to the point that I make practically no money. Then, on top of that, told that oops my paycheck was going to be late, or it bounced, and given endless excuses. The door swings both ways doesn't it?
You might throw some visual aids in there too.
l
throw a blustering, indignant fit, though. Maybe

Just wanted to throw in my 2 cents
On the GoMDT board, the company proveros was offering an internship. The pay was going to be 4 cpl for straight transcription and 2 cpl for editing. Well I have been working now for about 6 months so I am still a newbie but I do have a little bit of experience under my belt now. I was not interested in the internship but I applied so I could test just to see what the test was going to be like. This is for an internship, MTs fresh out of school with no experience, so they have no idea what it is like to be working for an MTSO. I get the test and it's one of those test voice files from the site that a lot of MTSOs use as their testing site, which IMO all of those tests are horrible and I cringe when I try to start taking one of them. Of course, the file sounds horrible. There are a lot of words that I can't make out. The voice quality is horrible compared to where I work at. I do my best and leave blanks for the words I can't make out. And you know what? I failed the test. lol It just boggles my mind. Why are they making a test so difficult and hard for newbie mts? I could understand if this was for a company that requires exp., but this is for an internship. It just shows how unfair this profession is to people trying to break into it. 
HEY, Throw this poor dog a bone?
I am a "newbie", been looking for MT opportunity with no luck. I would gladly take one of the jobs you didn't like, just for the experience......
At this time, I would just like a job doing Mt but beginning to think this was a mistake.....definitely must not be the same as it used to be.....
AND they are trying to throw in more nit-picky things about what this doc wants...
and this doctor always needs to go to QA and this resident needs an extra signature line and make sure the visit you selected was at the right place and be sure to change this worktype for this doctor because we cannot teach him to do it and we can't tell this doctor that worktype 800 is really not an EEG because we don't think he'll get it and no we can't get the software to recognize a visit ID when its entered and no you cannot start the audio in the document information screen so you can verify the patient and please automatically know when the doctor gives one name at the beginning of the dictation and a different one at the end who he is really typing about and take the following VR sentence and make it a lucid part of a medical report - CT scan guided biopsy performed February refills banding is without mucus brain which is negative.
My VR plan is quickly shaping up like this...take a 20-hour a week job at the local nursing home for full health insurance benefits and find an IC job doing transcription for supplemental income and repeat year after year until ready to be in nursing home.
Yes, I like to keep things and my husband likes to throw everything out
To me, either keep it, sell it, or give it to charity. He just wants to throw it all out. Sentimental things I do like to keep though. Are you the need one or the pack rat? I just have a problem letting go of things that we might someday use though. I look at it like this, why go and spend the money on it in the future if it can just be stored away until then :)
LOL! Let me just get my steamin' cuppa java to throw!
Seriously, though, H, you are so right. My family were all healthcare support workers (engineering, housekeeping, etc.) and my dad calls hospitals "the shrine of the physician" where all other staff are expected to worship at the altar of their godhood with the VPs and dept. heads expected to lead all the worship services.
Makes me want to throw the computer away and start over

Okay, lets just throw aside the fact he lives

Just wanted to warn her not to throw good
ADHI sux.
DD is a 1st grade teacher, and is ready to throw in the towel
already - not because of the kids, but because of the interferring parents (mothers) who cannot bear to let "little Suzie" out of the nest, cuz, you know, she is my baby, so I want to be with her as much as I can. She thinks these mothers cause more harm psychologically for the kids that anyone realizes. They lose coping skills, other kids make fun of them for being a big baby, and they lose all identity. Can't these mothers get a life away from the kid's school? She has 3 or 4 that think they know everything and are constantly interrupting her to "correct" her way of teaching. She is not a new teacher, has been teaching for over 10 years now and is rated one of the top teachers in this area.
I've also been known to throw a party for the littlest things...sm
1. Son's 1st soccer game.
2. 1/2 parties. You know. My son is turning 4-1/2, so come and join us for a party!
3. Husband's coming home party (he was only gone for a month).
4. Come and meet my mom party (she lives in another state).
5. Of course ALL the big parties: Baby showers, (never done a wedding shower), graduations, retirements.
6. Hunting parties. If your husband hunts, come on over and join us for lunch with the kids so we can talk about how lonely it is during deer season.
So, any major occasion is a big occasion....You don't even want to know what Christmas is like over here.
Amen to that sister. Meant to type throw not through. NM

Also, be careful that little girl/parents don't throw something toxic in your yard sm
for the puppy too eat. Sad, but a lot of sickos out there.
From one who worked for MQ nearly 18 years, no matter was MQ bone they throw out, I know with a full
Always has been, always will be.
YOU gather up his belongings and throw them out your window onto the curb, or in the driveway, or
wherever. Down to the last razor blade! It is highly unlikely that your husband will gather all of Loser Dude's belongings and bring them back into your house. Dude will gather up his Loser Belongings and find another place to be a hospitality sucking leach. (leech?) Good riddance. Just DO it! And if you have one molecule of sympathy in your brain for this Loser, then you need to go to therapy. You have gone above and beyond the call of duty, nice lady.
hands down by the....
LINE!!
I am currently getting paid per report on one acct and per line on another and hands down...per line always adds up to more money.
From years of experience, there is at least one MT that will tend to skip the longer reports when being paid by the report - if this weren't the case then it might be about the same but just from years of experience it seems there is always one bad apple in the bunch that spoils it for the rest.
When being paid per line, at least when they skip reports they don't want to do - it just means more lines for me and more $$$.
Hands
Does anyone else have problems with puffy, stiff hands during the hot weather. Never bother me in the cold but this heat kills my speed and accuracy. Anybody have any home remedies that helps. I feel like the Pillsbury Dough boy with regards to my fingers and hands. Please don't tell me it is old age setting in. 
Thanks.
Hands
I tried Glucosamine with chondtritin and it did not help with any of my aches. But then I was told by a chiropractor to try MSM Glucosamine after I was T-boned and had terrible hip and buttock problems. Tried 2 to 4 did not help much and gave up -- I give up easily. But the past several months tried again at 2 twice a day and after a couple of days it helped not only with my hip but my hands have not ached all summer/fall now. Really helped and I now take only 2 or so and not every day. Vioxx also helped but they took that off the market. But this helps tremendously. But you should check to see if by chance you have Raynaud's or something in your hands or low thyroid. Good luck.
is there something i can use to help my hands....
to be smoother. i have been using baby powder, but have already went through 2 keyboards...is there a transcription something i can buy? also, how about my hands freezing....what can i do about that?
Female..hands down !
I swear, every account I've ever worked had one problem dictator.. always female ! One REFUSED to use macros, even on normals.. and she would always make sure she made every report unique, so that we couldn't sneak away with using a macro for her. Another one spoke a hundred miles a minute. I remember my first day with her. She said something several times in her reports and I went crazy trying to figure it out.... lumbar spine ?? supine ?? Turns out she was saying "skip a line" !!
Obviously not for his face, but maybe his hands?
