Wow, we are having one heck of a thunder and lightening storm from the heat, finally started to rain
some.....gonna hit 105 here in VA (near Richmond)....yikes! Hope we don't lose power, have 1 stand fan and 1 window fan if power does go (have a generator) but still, way to little for such heat. Our poor AC is gonna blow (along with the electric bill). 
heck yeah
I've only been at it a few mos but I am getting so many aches and pains from sitting. I am still in the process of adjusting my workstation so that my shoulder stops hurting. I thought working again would satisfy me, but what I really need is people too!
Love the flexibility and dress code - hate being alone and doing the same thing all day. Sure the dictation varies, but my body stays in this chair and my fingers stay moving.
I would not mind doing MT as one of many duties, but 38 hrs per week of it is making my rear end wide and flat.....
Heck yeah! DH and both kids have their degrees,
I'm 47 and am studying Psychology at the University of Massachusetts!
Heck, yeah! Good pay for 1-1/2 years experience.
Heck yeah. Need leaders to come forward, moderators, a sense of patriotism (we pay taxes).
Coimbatore ready to spin a different storey

The Manchester of South India, Coimbatore, is still brimming with a lot of positive energy as far as the real estate scenario is concerned. The
city, with a population of 1.8 million people, has a few pan-India players in the real estate market but the 35-40 odd local developers are confident of staying in business despite the economic slowdown.
Though many are in the wait-and-watch mode, buyers are looking at this growing city as the place for long-term investment, especially on the residential front. Industry experts say majority of the buyers are from nearby cities like Chennai and Bangalore and non-resident Coimbatoreans and NRIs, who want to settle here post retirement.
The latest Jones Lang LaSalle India30 Real Estate Opportunities in Tier III cities identifies Coimbatore as one of the top 10 growing consumer markets. “Though Coimbatore stands low on current office market activity, the growing engineering and IT potential is sure to throw up opportunities for the real estate market in the next few years,” said experts.
“The prices are marginally down by 5-10% in Coimbatore but the situation will not worsen any further. Land prices are going up and construction costs have increased. We don’t see any downslide on price aspect,” said Omkar Mohan Sankar, a real estate developer in the city.
According to him, the city has perfect attributes such as excellent locale, ideally set in the footsteps of Nilgiris, pleasant climate and sweet Siruvani water. Further, it is an education and healthcare hub and the two industries are recession proof.
Though textile industry is going through tough times, work options are increasing as nearby districts such as Tirupur, Erode and Karur are fast catching the attention of world markets with their fashion products.
Also, with the entry of big players such as L&T and Suzlon in the engineering industry, more investment is expected in real estate market. “Once the companies look at increasing their work force, the requirement for housing would increase and the residential value in the city will go up,” said market sources.
State-owned Electronics Corporation of India’s Tidel Park in IT-SEZ is expected to be ready by January and is likely to provide employment to nearly 12,000 people, which means more residential space will be needed. The Wipro development centre inside the IT-SEZ is also nearing completion and more IT companies like TCS and HCL have plans here.
The city already has the presence of global engineering and IT giants like Robert Bosch and Cognizant and big IT & ITES players like Perot Systems and Spheris. “The city is looking at employing 20,000 more and even if 20% opt for new homes, there would be a demand for 4,000-5000 houses soon,” said Mr Rajesh B Lund, VP, Confederation of Real Estate Developer’s Associations of India.
Yeah, you're right. Who cares who licenses your software? Heck, I use all pirated software anyw
why pay for anything, right?
Except that is AGAINST THE LAW!!!
this brings up other questions. Are you
in a state that makes you carry liability on your car? they may all now for all I know. However, I upped my standard full coverage from what they call 25/50/25 to 50/100/50 with an increase on personal injury of 5,000 to 10,000 (the maximum). It was only a few dollars more per policy. A friend of mine was hit head on by someone who went to sleep at the wheel at noon and life flight alone was 5,000. You would think she came out like a champ, but she listened to some stupid people she worked with (unbelievable how many people wanted her vicodin which she could not take) and took a personal injury lawyer who totally blew her off for the least amount. My other point about personal injury was a guy who bit down on something he ate while driving, broke a crown, and filed it on his personal injury instead of dental or medical insurance. Just adding to the thought pool.
Now that brings back memories!! (sm)
Yes we have come a long way since pre IMB electric typewriters. Seriously I use to use a manual carriage return. That is how far I go back... Scary though. I really do like the progess we have made. Although we worked then!! No office chit chat, no line counts, no productivity standards, you just typed your 8 hours and clocked out. There is something to be said for that.
Life brings with it the ignorant!
Most patients probably don't realize that it is the nurse that handles their care essentially. She/he alerts the doctor with problems, questions that arise, health status, etc. The physician will "round", but it is the nurse that handles the "triage" tasks so to speak. The patients are usually nice to the doctors, but expect the nurses to be their "slaves". Yes, I am also a patient advocate since I've lost both of my parents in an inpatient healthcare setting and both with terminal diseases, but I also believe that a hospital is not a "hotel" where every whimsical desire is granted. To understand why a nurse would say that is quite easy. Transcriptionists sit at desks and look like secretaries. It is only when the Transcriptionist is not there that the triumphs are noticed by others. When I left a hospital setting, I had to train six, I mind you, (6) people to do my job. I was full-time. It is funny how much transcriptionists do that goes unnoticed until they are no longer there to do it. What a smack in the face that hospital got, and it is a shame because it is the patient that will suffer. Unfortunately, we don't usually get the recognition we deserve, but at least we can sleep at night knowing we've contributed. I wonder if the same posters on these boards that complain they are unappreciated are the same ones complaining about having to work the holidays??????? I'm sure I'll get blasted for that one! Oh well, I love my job and most people do that are in the transcription field, hence, they would not do it at all! Wouldn't most of you agree? I don't want to offend anyone, but it is just how I feel! Be safe out there!

death in the family brings strife
Why is it that when a family member dies it brings strife among people who are supposed to love each other? My father-in-law passed away recently. My son plays baseball at his high school and my husband and I had bought his father a jacket for Christmas one year that had the school logo and his name. He came to all of our son's games with that coat on. My problem is that my husband's sister took it without asking if we wanted it. We were planning on keeping it for our son to remember his grandfather and all the games he came to see. Any advice? Let it go? or ask for the coat back? I guess I am more upset that she didn't even ask (we did get it for him for Christmas as a gift) than anything else.
Depression? Brings our jobs home
I personally think we are headed for a depression. I believe in our gung-ho desire to improve our trade partners (invest in our country so we could continue to export our debt) we mistakenly sent our jobs overseas. Now, facing high unemployment, we need our jobs back. Therefore, I am asking that you contact your local congresspeople and request that our jobs be brought back from foreign countries, thus increasing domestic production and increasing the number of jobs. This is the perfect time to do this. In order to come out of a depression, we have to increase production. We cannot export all production and having to produce. Believe me, now is the time to request our jobs be brought back to the U.S. The alternative is extremely bleak, and your elected officials know it.

Google brings up wrong spellings etc. all the time.
Pick just about any medical equipment and search it spelled different ways; you will likely find them all on Google. To me it is basically useless for MT work because I have to check the books anyway in most cases.
Here's an example of what I find:
Flowseal™, FloSeal®
Both even claiming to be the trademark brand name.
Can't rely on Google.
Could be....are you familiar with these companies? Archives brings up MedScribes.....nm

What a heart-warming story. It brings tears to my eyes.
I can't wait for chapter 2 of this soap opera.
Favorite love song that brings goosebumps and tears to the eyes?
Brings back memories! I had a computer fan that sounded like a mini helicopter! Kept
calling my company and having them "listen". They weren't concerned. It did actually blow up one day - a little mini "poof" of fire, 2 seconds of light smelly smoke, and she was dead!! A goner! Never heard it before, never heard it after, but one did make noise and it died a month later!
I want my bread crumbs white so I let them dry up in the open overnight (winter brings low humidity)
a very good way not to waste stale bread (aside from pudding).
Union diesil mechanic - good pay, great benefits. We swap year to year on who brings home more sm
money.....but I am an IC and he has all the benefits...health insurance/dental that the company pays for, pension plan, 401k, etc. Factor all of that in and he makes way more than I do.
Oh, heck, YES!!!
It's always feast or famine around here. One week, I'll be sitting on my thumbs stressing about bills and not enough work. The next week, everyone dumps so much on me that I'm working double shifts. Why can't it be regular instead of sporadic? Then again, I do rather like those unexpected days off and not being chained to a desk during certain hours like with the nationals. I work when I want to as long as I meet TAT.
Do you really want to work 10-12 hours a day? And you know that some days it will be 6 hours and some days 18 hours because it is truly feast or famine. I took on a third IC job recently because things were so slow for weeks with my other two. The other two must have heard me accept the third job because I got dumped on. I wound up wigging out and quitting the third position. I feel really bad about leaving her in the lurch, but holy cow! A human body can only take so much of this.
I don't see the little sleep deprived icon with cramped up fingers and pedal foot. Owie. I'm just not going to gripe about not getting much sleep or time off. Work is good. Being unemployed is bad.
Do the local docs pay more than the national? And their workload is a lot easier, too. You get the same dictators every day saying the same things over and over again so you can use your word expander to the max. Make a list of pros and cons and see which is better.
How the heck did you get that?
Interpretation of my post: I like ESLs not for any other reason other than I LIKE ESLs. Whatever impact that has on those who can't or won't do them is not MY problem.
Oh so thankful to have a job? Sounds to me like you are the one who should be thankful to have a job considering you have a hang-up about doing a majority of what our job description is.
What the heck is CMT?

No way in heck!
Everytime I scroll through the channels and I even see that show for 1 second, I feel like getting a hammer and hitting the wall with it repeatedly. Those women are gross!
What the heck are you looking for?
Most women I know that think men are scum continue to end up with the same type.
It's usually a self-esteem issue on the woman's part which harbors lack of trust and very high expectations concerning the opposite sex.
You need to lower your expectations and give to others as much as you would expect to be given to you.
Only then will you realize that not "all" men are scum, just possibly the ones that you choose to hook up with.
Heck no!
 I mean, like really, why in the world should you let your clients know that you're going to be out of town for a couple of weeks??!!
Why, let em' wonder where you are and why their work's not being done. I can't think of a better way to do business, get lots of referrals, and build a solid bond of trust!
Heck no, 41's not too old
Honey, 41 is NOT OLD...OK! Go for it...you'll do GREAT!!! Best of luck to ya...and I envy you...I wanna do that too, so bad. I might...when I get 41!!!
Me too, then got the heck out of there. (sm)
I thougth for sure I was going to have my computer light up, start erasing data, or something.
What in the heck is EHR and what does this mean
to us as transcriptionists? I have worked in VR and know about this but am told here lately still a demand for MTs as healthcare is steadily moving towards EHR. Where exactly does this leave MTs - out of a job or like VR, some sort of editing? TIA
Why the heck don’t you all just
quit, do something different, anything? I have so many years in this and enjoy my work. If you don’t like the salary/work, etc. you can always do something else, can't you?? This job paid for homes, vehicles, travel, raising kids, the bills- if you don’t make enough money and just want to stay at home, how about a second or third transcription job to go along with the one you have already. Quityourbellyaching.
I say, to heck with that!
There is no way I would work for a company that does that. You should not, either. Work for a company that respects its MTs. There are such around. Look at the company board for ideas. Plese do not accept this!!
Well, heck, do tell about it! :-)
I'm in the market, I think. I'm starting from scratch and I want to get what's right the first time, if possible. 
Well heck. -sm
The link didn't work like I thought it would. If you put cardiology in the specialty field it will bring up a list of cardio sample reports. Sorry about that.
Heck no.
Too much? Not nearly enough, if you ask me... but I guess the question is really, can you actually GET that kind of $$ or more....
And that wasn't of any help at all. Sorry. Guess you have to decide whether you are willing to work for that, if your costs will be covered, and whether it's worth it to you.
Yeah, yeah, that should be "your work..."
where the heck do you go to even log in to your e-mail? sm
I can't even find the flippin place to log into my e-mail! Why did they change it? It was so much easier before! Guess that's just too much to ask, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? 
Where in the heck do you live? sm
I would definitely go to the DMV and tell them what happened and try to get this cleared up, but I don't understand how someone could get away with saying they were you. You do have pictures on your licenses, right? Or are you a twin?
In my state everyone is issued a driver license number when they get their license and keep that same number as long as they live. The number is run through the computer if you are stopped by the police to make positive identification. Our new license cards are supposedly computerized to make it even more difficult to have someone steal your identity.
One more thing. Why you weren't wearing a seatbelt, I will never understand. That's just plain dumb.
What the heck! No RadGuy!!!!

What the heck happened to my most of us are........sorry about that! nm
,
What in the heck are you talking about?
I didn't say how much it costs per dictated minute, because that's now how you figure it. What matters is how long you are on the phone line. It costs $1.50 an hour on the phone line, whether you type 1 minute of dictation in that hour or 30 minutes of dictation. If you transcribe for six hours during the day, it would cost you $9 of long distance for that day. What's so hard to understand?
Heck I am an IC and can't stand it
I was told when considering the position that they wanted someone who could work at least 30 but closer to 40 hours since they had a lot of work. I thought about it, and decided to do it, and placed my 2 little ones in daycare. I have since adjusted my schedule so that one is in only 2 days per wk, and the other goes 5 days but abbreviated hours -but, I still have to pay the weekly rate plus the full day drop in rate for the other one. Not a problem if there is a lot of work.
About a month ago, it slowed down and we were told that it would pick up soon, as one MT was leaving and we were getting a new account. I feel like we are fighting each other for scraps, as the volume has not increased and all of the new hires (I was the first in a hiring wave) are picking up speed as they get better on the accounts. I can see from the company's standpoint where it is better to have MTs running out of work than to be behind on TAT, but its a balance, because some people are willing to walk away from a job if lack of work goes on long enough.
I honestly would prefer fewer hours and if I were not paying for daycare, I would be happy to cut back, but I just know if I pull my kids out, the long awaited glut of work will finally arrive and I will have to pull all nighters. I AM getting ready to do this anyway. The extra money helps us out, but mostly it is going into savings.
It has to totally suck to be an employee and be required to sit there. I at least can get tired of checking for work that is not there and decide to go run errands. Even as a waitress, I got minimum wage if I had no sales for my shift, and the managers were wise enough to cut some people free for the night if business was slow.
Good luck to you in your situation.
Heck yes, that is how I meant it!!
So do my kids. It takes a special people to enjoy this movie!! Or do I mean "special?" lol
Heck, I just dump it in! sm
I think I used one part (maybe a cup) ice cream and just enough milk to keep it thick (about 1/8 to 1/4 cup) and poured in the chocolate syrup, added the banana and pureed it in my blender. I like my shakes thick so I experimented. If I had too much I poured it in a bowl and ate it with a spoon. I gained weight in a hurry eating them and they tasted better than Ensure. I gagged on that stuff.
Me again...heck, I transcribe
doctors once and may never hear again!! Every day is like a new day on the job. Just really sucks!! Just sayin' that even though you are seemingly having it tough where you are now, it could be a LOT worse. Whatever you do, for your own sake, do not quit where you are now to take a national job. There are so many variables that you can't even imagine with these places. It is more like slavery in your own home than a real job. Worked for one national where I averaged 150 lines an hour for 8 cpl, that's only 12 dollars an hour, before taxes! Who can live on that? Most of my time was spent on looking crap up, demographics and such! Had to buy own spell checker and abbreviation Expander and other crap, and it's just a big racket! Well, as I said before, just my humble opinion, but wish I was in your shoes! Good luck, but don't do anything with the job you have now....
I truly wish I was in your position than mine  (that's green with envy ;) lol
We just got rid of the agent from heck....sm
We signed with an agent who for 3 months sat on her keister and didn't show the house but one time. The pictures she took were horrible (took a picture of one corner of a bedroom which was really stupid)- the house was empty as we'd already moved out. Every couple of weeks we called to find out what was happening on the house and all she said was "I'm sure it will sell soon. It's posted on our website and in MLS" She came to us with glowing recommendations - but the 2 people that highly referred her also had homes that were above $300,000 and ours was $140,000 - probably accounting for the difference in sales style.
Finally the 90 day contract with this lazy person ran out. We got the house sold on our own through word of mouth and saved thousands by not paying some lazy bum agent to sit on her butt and collect a check for doing nothing.
As far as the hype goes by realtors to use them or risk legal problems - a good closing attorney will make sure that all of the i's are dotted and t's are crossed, and that everything is spelled out in the contract that needs to be. On the 2 houses I've bought over the years the agent that I worked with basically did nothing more than show me a dozen homes (we knew the area we wanted and gave them specifics on the type of house we wanted) and passed paperwork back and forth. Each of them made a good commission for that. Next home we buy we'll look on the internet first at the Assist2Sell and similar sites to see if we can find something without using lazy agents who make thousands for doing a little bit of work.
Heck, I'm drunk now!
nm
heck if they were honest
If they were honest no one would work for some of them! We cheat you out of lines, we don't know what we are doing in Quality, we don't understand the BOS, we will stick to our guns even though you (the MT) are right..... And the newbies don't know they are being cheated and taken advantage of but are grateful for a job. Why change a good thing (for them)?
Heck, don't apologize
They don't deserve it. If they have one ounce of sense in their heads, they will do what they can to accommodate you. If they don't, there are plenty of companies out there who would be happy to hire the talented and witty Hayseed. Seriously.
The heck the MTSO isn't.
MTSOs ARE responsible when they don't pay as promised in the contracts we sign. I'm not working for fun. I had a month's pay "cushion" and that woman forced me to use it up. I'm so tired of hearing this crap that it is my problem we don't have more money. IF I was paid on time, we would be fine. IF I was paid late by a couple days, we would be fine. Not paying for a month or more is going to screw me. Paying me with bouncing checks is going to screw me. It is time MTSOs like that take responsibility for the results their nonpayments cause.
Me too, what the HECK does he know about having a baby, having not even fathered one.

heck i wouldn't tell either with that rate
