Just an honest question.  Why are so many people that have been in this profession for a long time bitter about newbies?  There sure seems to be many posts about how newbies are a waste of time to hire, they're worthless, whatever...

Have you who have been in the biz for so long forgotten what it's like to be new at it?  Don't you have to be given a chance in this profession in order to BECOME a good transcriptionist?  Even though I am new at this, it doesn't mean that I don't work as hard or that it doesn't mean as much to me as someone who's been doing it for 20+ years. 

I'm so thankful that the company I work with gave me a chance.  If most companies had the same attitudes as some of these posters, newbies would be screwed!!

girlyman hater, I think you are trolling us here.

the country singer type I have no idea about, but a smart humble guy... science is a plus... bein' good lookin' can't hurt, but I dont want a sweaty singin' cowboy.

*just kidding, but this is how you sound.

Patient states, "I feel like s--t!"  I called my boss and said "I'm sorry, I cant type that in there." 

I used to work for an old cranky country doc that actually dictated the chief complaint as:  "Doc my b--ls are killing me."  I told him when I turned in the completed report that I had changed the chief complaint to:  Patient complains of testicular pain.  He just laughed and said, "That's why I hired ya!"

you confront an MT who is putting exactly 200 extra spaces at the end of each and every report and they are just DUMBFOUNDED that they are there. They have no clue as to how they could be getting there. So it stops. Then, before you know it, they are there again. Sorry, but they aren't magically putting themselves there. It's a macro, sweetums, and you're happy to be messing with "the man." Typically the same people will do it at the end of paragraphs, too, but of course with fewer spaces. Most of the time no one can see it, no one would think to look for it, but they're there.

The company I worked with called it "creating margin," aka the MT getting more money and happily shafting the facility that gets the transcription bill. Were the MTs told to not do that? Nope. They were not. Shame on the MT, and shame on the MTSOs who condone this behavior.

Last year I made 56,000.  This year I stand to make slightly more.  I have my own accounts and am self-employed.  Also, I do quite a bit of pathology transcription locally.  I have done rad also in my time.  I am getting ready to get my CMT.  You don't have to go to school for this.  As a matter of fact, many that do go to school know less than I do, as a lot of schools don't teach what they should these days.  It is just a basic fact.  Whether you go to school or not doesn't make you a good MT.  It is your work ethic and level of committment and actual experience on the job. 

Also, you sound so immature in your posts like you are really mad because someone can be successful at MT w/o going to school.  How silly is that? 

The idiots in the SUVs that have 4-wheel drive that pass you doing 70 in a blizzard.  Oh yeah, like it isn't SNOWING!  Hello? And your 4-wheel drive is designed to get you slowly out of mud, snow, etc., not race down the highway in a snowstorm.

I used to work 20 miles away down a major highway (45 mph speed limit).  I saw a total of 12 vehicles off the road in the snow last year in one week. All of them were 4-wheel drive SUVs.  Some had flipped over and landed roof side down.  Fortunately nobody had serious injuries, but these SUVs would just fly by my little car and leave me in total "white out".

I still don't get it how people who buy these hugh monsters think they are oblivious to snow.  It's slippery even if you're walking or driving a military issue Hummer.

You gave me a good laugh.  Thanks for that!!!!

I will never again be able to use my crockpot without calling it my little potassium.

Weird thing is, I made chili in my big potassium last night too!

Don't feel bad, the other day I was going over some notes and I read where I put that the patient had had a large "bowel" of cereal for breakfast.

Now I find myself asking my kids, "You want that on a plate or in a bowel." They think I'm gross.

my 10-year-old daughter thinks I'm just "way too gross" to actually type the word vagina. I say, "well I type the word penis a lot too." (internal med) and she says"Oh mom! eeeeeuww, that is sooooo totally gross!!"

I tell her, "These are medical words for body parts. It is nothing to be ashamed of. Would you rather I just typed patient's 'thingy' instead of the actual part of the body and see if the people that pay me are okay with that?"
