        • The trouble is, everything is politicized... - SM

Hi All ~

I have a client who wants to put me on 30-day pay cyles where work done from the 1st thru the end of the month would be invoiced on the 1st of the following month and paid on the last day of that month.  Basically, if I don't agree to this, I will lose the client...UGH!

Now, my question is this....how many of you MTSO's pay your MTs once/month?  Are your MTs ok with this?

I've been sitting here racking my brain on how I could work it so that the MTs still get paid twice/month, but I can't seem to figure this out!  The is a LARGE account, so I have to be careful in over-extending myself before my pay comes in for my client. 

Do any of you have some advice for me on how I can adjust the cycles to keep everyone happy? 

My cat "Nosey" passed about 7 years ago at the age of 20.  She was most wonderful but developed kidney cancer.  You know what I did at that time, I wrote a special letter to "Nosey" telling her about her life with me and my son, all the things she loved to do, her favorite foods, her favorite toys.  I documented in that letter the day, date and time that she passed and the things that I buried with her as well as where we buried her, overlooking the lake amongst the flower garden and telling her the beautiful new rosebush we planted next to her in remembrance!  I put one copy in a ziplock bag with her and kept one in her file in my desk.  I have a file for all my babies.  I do truly hope she has a couple more good years with you.  I am sure she knows your love and will always be looking to see you again after she has passed.  If perchance you go first, you will only blaze the trail for her!!

The trip was well worth it....my son's graduation from Marines at Parris Island was most somber, impressive and moving....his platoon was the Honor Platoon.  We are home now, however, we came back to our little tiny barrier island Friday right after graduation, (due to Hurricane Dennis), instead of Saturday.  I had my own Crucible to endure.....went for approximately 42 hours with only 3 1/2 hours of sleep....still can't sleep but BOY am I tired. 

My "puppy" made it OK at the Vet's office but still is not doing well overall.  My son asked me this morning if Chi Chi would be alive when he comes back in about a year, unfortunately I had to tell him that I did not think so.  You are so kind to remember my son and my pup.  I will post when and if there is anything going on with either of my "babies" because I know you will give me support.  Thank you and God bless you. 

I tried for years to have a child, lost many early on in pregnancy and it was many years ago prior to the advances that they have now adays.  But I do have two step-daughters -- one remembers me one does not even though I am divored from their father.  She and I have stayed close and neither have seen their Dad since our divorce.  But I have two nephews and a niece in the area that I am very close to who now have children ranging from 4 to 18.  One of my great nephews told me yesterday,  I am not a Mom but close, better than a Grandma because I am special Aunt Patti.  So that made my day.   For some reason the Lord chose for me to be that special person to my many nephews and nieces which I truly enjoy.   And I get to send home when they become "too much".   Love it and cherish my time with them.  

Unfortunately, I still smoke though - it's the worst drug habit I have encountered in my many decades.  For me, it's the only drug habit I have had.  It's tough, so I sympathize with the ones who are trying to quit and KUDOS TO THE ONES WHO HAVE!!!!!

If so, maybe some of them have their own departments and you can get hired inhouse.  That's what I finally had to do in order to get the pay and respect and steady work that I needed.  I'm working less than full-time and making 30,000+.  You may have to work in house and follow a set schedule, but at least you'll have a decent job. 

taking place concerning this relatively new medication.  Below is a single example of Fosamax prescribing from the "norm."  If I were typing that report, I would type it verbatim and not flag/question the physician's dictation.

                                            FOSAMAX DOSING

The prevention dose is 5 mg daily, the treatment dose is 10 mg daily. Alendronate should be continued indefinitely. Although discontinuation of the alendronate does not result in the rapid bone loss seen with HRT discontinuation, a gradual decline does occur, so some maintenance therapy should be utilized. The dosing may be modified once optimal bone mass is restored.  One could then consider the 10 mg dose to the 5 mg prevention dose daily, or perhaps to 10 mg every other day.  A once weekly dose of 70 mg or a twice-weekly dose of 35 mg is presently being evaluated as an alternative-dosing regimen but has not yet been approved. (Study results pending).

So what are they like to work for? How is their work and do they run out of work. How are their dictators? Any information would be appreciated.

The last I heard, Superior Global Solutions out of Plano, Texas hired MTs fresh out of school, I am sure to do clinic notes, but that is a start anyways.  You are just going to have to start out doing any kind of MT work you can get your hands on, just anything to show you have actual work experience.  I was lucky and got started in this business over 20 years ago, learning on-the-job, but I know it's harder now days.

since they are NO LONGER DEALING WITH ONLY AMERICAN MTs, their name is no longer AAMT -

Please recognize this.  Thank you.

I posted this on the company forum, but no one replied.  I thought maybe it was overlooked.  Does any work for or know anything about Global Transcription in Florida?  Thanks a bunch

I heard Superior Global Solutions does not get your pay to you.  Futurenet, I have read here does not have any benefits and runs out of work.  Also here are a few other bad ones I have seen and read on here:  SoftScript, Spheris, and good/bad about Transcend.

The good ones in which I have read have been all of the MDIs.  Have not had any experience with them though..Good luck!
