Nice to See Someone Agree with me
Yep, I've only been doing MT work 3-4 yrs but when I found out about AAMT I laughed. $350+ to take their exam. I totally disagree with many of their style requirements. and judging by many of the salaries I saw offered, they certainly were not doing anything to upgrade the field. I don't even know what their dues are but I'm sure they are ridiculous.
What the *&# is "2 o'clock" vs. 2:00. Everyone knows what 2:00 means, "2 o'clock" distracts from the content when reading. How about disc vs. disk - an MT gets "points off for this" LOL. I'll tell you something, the person paying for those reports are the patients (not the MDs).
In fact, I just found something on the internet the other day -- did you know AAMT was trying to have legislation passed that would prohibit anyone from working as an MT w/o their certification? They cited all kinds of MD/pt privilege and safety issues as why this should be done.
I agree that it's nice to do something different. sm
My veggie neices always get real maple syrup for Christmas from their auntie. They use it to sweeten their tea and, as I live in Maine, we have plenty. :)
I get my non-veggie neices and nephews candy. :)
Thanks! It's nice to know we can agree to disagree.
Have a good evening!
I agree, thanks for your nice post...n/m

Now that wasn't nice and actually I agree with the above poster........
She's a riot!
I posted that question last week. I agree it would be nice
and it does seem to be a DAILY topic as of late.
Yes - I agree - my 2 employers didn't even acknowledge MT week - so this was very nice
Totally agree. Don Juan climbing rose is nice, too. sm
I love my antique rose, but wish the flowers lasted longer.
You have several choices
You can change the current Singles glossary you are using under Options/Singles
I am pretty sure the MedsinglV.glo has "but" for b
And as mentioned you can always edit any of the Singles glossaries in Notepad.

choices
It may take some searching and time, but look. Not all companies post on this forum. Reach out to any and all contacts that you have ever had in the MT world. If more of us refuse to get paid an income that is ridiculously low, things will have to improve. I've walked away from jobs before for various reasons and I've always found work. I just refused to get paid crap for my knowledge. I refuse to work extra hours every day to make up for lousy technology. Period. As much as I love being an MT, I'd walk away from this work and do whatever it took to make a DECENT income. It's a matter of what's right.
I'm with you ... people can make their own choices. nm

Where you come off comparing gay lifestyle choices to sm
pedophiles (which can be compared with, say, serial killers IMHO) is NUTS. Pedophiles rape children and break the law. And you are showing a common thread HOW????
Thanks! You're right; it's all about making the right choices. NM

With those choices, go with 9 cents/line
I worked for a company that paid by the report - $1.15 for everything except interventionals, which were $2.25. Per report is fine until you start getting into the 2-page MRI reports, which I had a lot of. When I found this website and saw what the per-line rate was for some people, I started checking the line counts and comparing. The only reports I was actually coming out ahead on were things like chest x-rays that were only 2 or 3 lines. You can see that at 9 cents a line, once you get more than about 12 lines, you make more being paid by the line.
I have two part-time jobs now, one paid by the line and the other by the report, but the pay per report is VERY good, much higher than the going rate, because these are radiologists I have worked with before and a) they are very generous and b) they appreciate my expertise.
I guess what I'm saying here is if you are paid enough per report, go for it. $1.10 - fugedaboutit!!
No sound a likes, but lots of other choices...

If the doc takes Medicare, which most do, you will find him here. You can narrow it to specialty, first name, last name, partial last name, city, state, or all of the above. Much more thorough than WebMD. Good luck.
True. So then don't work. We're talking CHOICES here. nm

Not upset - everyone makes bad choices in their life at some time or another. sm
No one is perfect. Hopefully, someone will give you a chance and your money and time won't be wasted.
Good luck to you!
I know why I am transcribing (a few bad choices I made early in life) - sm
But I did not lie about my IQ when I replied. There are genuine circumstances that prevent potential from being realized. I don't think I would have ever had the mentality to hold up a job more suited to my potential, though, and would have probably fallen on my face, had I been a doctor or a lawyer or such. I do know I would be dead now (long story). The direction I took was what seems now like a bad choice in life that lead to MT'ing to make a living, but in talking with my friends, they think it was providential.
MT'ing is easy because I remember everything without references. It helps me feel better about myself, and I make easy money.
Maybe this is what was intended.
Totally understanding. Our kids grow up and we have no choices.
My dear friend just called me yesterday crying because her daughter is living with her partner and the partner is pregnant. The daughter is sooo happy, the mother cried. So what you're describing is happening more than where you are and it is saddening. What can she do, nothing. Our kids whether we like it or not grow up and jump out to make their own choices. Some of these choices are "you can't tell me what to do anymore!" And, we have no choice but to live with it. So the choices then become to be miserable OR focus on your own life and work on making yourself happy in spite of what your kids put you through. You have a life, don't let your kid drown it out because of his poor choices. You may think who am I to say such a thing, I'm the mom whose son made poor choices and went to jail, I'm the mom whose daughter chose to abort my first grandbaby, I'm the mom whose son left his wife and kids after almost 10 years of marriage. I really do know how you feel. Find some joy for yourself in your life, you won't find it when you're looking at his.
You can accept the changes or you can shape the changes. THOSE are the choices. Reactive versus Pr
I choose to be proactive. Apparently, the consensus here is to lie down like a dog and just let it happen.
How about setting a monetary limit and give choices, sm
such as: Would the MT rather have PTO, a Stedmans reference book of choice, or cash?
Feel free to email me about this. Lots of choices nm

How nice is this keyboard? Nice light touch?
I have a regular Microsoft ergonomic one now but I'm thinking I should probably get a replacement and use mine as a backup.
I was nice today, and people were nice to me.
If you steer away from the nastiness, there are a few nice and encouraging posts in there.
Nothing new since the beginning of time..calories in, calories out. good food choices..portion size
Whether its a choice or inborn, some of us fight the choices or inborn
nature of desires that are out of sync with nature. I am sure pediophiles will say they can't help themselves and it is a natural instinct and attraction but not every one acts upon the instincts/attractions.
I know I am attracted to eating junk food, all day every day. Big Macs, juicy extra cheese pizza, fries deep fried in animal fat, etc. I have never craved a nice salad and some fresh fruit. If I follow my instincts and did what I want, I would be a very unhealthy 600 lb blob.
Sometimes one just needs to put things in perspective. You have free will to do what you want to do but it isn't always right to follow those instincts.
Agree, agree, agree! Just listen to Benny Hinn..
he speaks perfect English, especially when asking for money! Also, in my opinion, blanks should be left in the doc's dictation if not able to be transcribed, maybe then they will know that are NOT understood. With QA fixing them, what need is there for them to care if we understand them or not?
Be nice
This is just the kind of response people are referring to........ try to be a little less defensive/offensive
Nice!
 Nice! My guinea pig would LOVE you!
Thank you so much! It's nice to know that someone
else believes in those of us who never received formal training as an MT but love our jobs and do them well (my QA score is 98% or better).
Not sure. It would be nice if across the
board all MQ offices would be exactly the same. It would save a lot of confusion among MTs. It seems that every single office has different policies and different requirements. They need to do something about that.
Well nice is as nice does ...
there are some people who would think I was being false and "Miss Nice" if I were to do all the "bless your little heart" business.
I'm matter of fact. I expect adults to be mature and fully developed in their thinking ... instead of the juvenile "OMG, I can't believe I can't get what I want" attitude.
We can agree on one thing...neither of us likes the other one's attitude. Hahahaha
You want to complain and whine like an insolent child. That's your right.
I'd rather throw a little mature advice, hints and tips on how to survive, how to make it, when to call it quits, etc. I'm not sitting on a throne anywhere having no idea what I'm talking about. I've been there and I'm speaking from experience - experiences of failure and success, happiness and discontentment, etc.
If you're over 18, you don't need to be babied. That's what your mother is for.
This is an adult world. Grow up. Be accountable. Be responsible. It's your life. You make every single decision and you are in control. To let anyone else control your life -- that is a choice as well and not a smart one.
You can just keep on sitting here, splashing around in the pity pool! Soon you'll be all shrivled up and prune-like. Hahaha Or, you can get out. Dry off. Decide what you want to do, where you want to go, and get the heck out of Dodge.
Guarantee you -- in 2 years, in 5 years, and more -- the majority, not all but the majority, of the complaining, whining, unhappy MTs will still be here, still on this forum, still with the same song and dance, with the same problems, with the same attitude. Not all, but most. They will be left behind.
That's not very nice to say
I do not think the employees of MDI are treated "like crap and fight for the work".
I am a Transcriptionist myself and I treat my MT's the way I would like to be treated myself.
If you don't know how we pay ALL full time employees' ULD, then you could not have worked for us.
It is truly unfortunate that you feel this way. You may call me at any time to discuss your statements. Thanks, Liz
Nice!!!!
LOL!!!
I am nice!
I do play nice until the other people throw the first punch, so to speak.
nice lie.
Whats this imaginary recruiters name
that's not nice
Hey now, I have an uncle ron and he is the best damn lover I have ever had - do you want him for a night?
yes, very nice.....
about your job with MQ! LOL
Now, this is nice!
Yikes, we must have done something wrong because our posts are all gone. Oh well. Glad we agree on some things. As the saying goes, life would be very boring if we all agreed on everything and there was no such thing as opinions. Keeps life interesting!
Actually, in my opinion, Frankie boy had me rolling on the floor. I know undoubtedly some of his remarks were down right crude, but for some reason the people were just responding to him which just kept him going and going and going.
So glad we understand each other and accept the differences we have. Have a good day!
WOW - It's nice
I work two jobs - a hospital job 10 hours per day and my night job for an orthopaedic clinic (many, many years). I just put my 13 inch from the kitchen in my office. I feel it will come in handy for bad weather, etc, during the day. BUT - at night, this is nice. I am typing my clinic notes with no problem and am listening to the news at the same time.
Usually, I listen to music. It actually is really nice with the news on right now - and I can type like crazy during the commercials!! THANKS FOR THE IDEA!!!
I had thought about it before when we were expecting Katrina, but didn't follow through with it. I'm glad I did it today.
How nice!
Okay, you B-I-G LOSER! Just because you are so unhappy with MQ and they can't cater to your every little need, don't take it out on us because we have the ability to adapt! Perhaps seeing a psychiatrist is the way to go for you. Doesn't take much to realize you have issues.
As far as brushing, flossing, and rinsing with Listerine, I done and did that - NOW IT IS YOUR TURN. Forget brushing and flossing though, just take your bottom and top plate out and soak them for a while!
A car yes, but not a nice new one
I think new cars are things to be EARNED by adults who WORK for them. Saddest story I ever heard, true: Some nice people bought their 16 year old daughter a used car for her birthday. They were so excited about it. The first words out of her mouth: "But it's a used car!"
Isn't it nice...
... that we, as transcriptionists, have mastered following all the "rules" of each client -- and 100 more not mentioned here -- that make YOUR job so easy! Kudos to us. And by the way... you're welcome!
Same to you. Nice having you here.

Be Nice
You sounded mean and I am not flakey--just trying to help the medical transcription services get quality reports from my students. I have posted about three entries on this site over the past year and have been bashed by people 3 times.....not a good record...although others were very friendly. If there are just a couple of predominately negative individuals here, please remember you don't know who you are talking to...could be your neighbor or best friend.
Wow....that is not very nice....nm

That was so nice. (sm)
It is really important to focus on the good. You know, before all this happened I was confident and cheerful and lovely. I had lots of friends and I was happy. I gave all my power to him. Even over the little things, we still constantly disagree. I realize that he and I are too different to make that "opposites attract" thing happen. I have made some huge steps in the past few days, starting with my confession yesterday. I have also made contact with one of my friends from childhood who is very good at networking and planning. She is one of the people I'm "not allowed" to talk to, just like my daughter's family, but I did and I'm better for it already. Thanks for your prayers. I think they're working. I had lots of signs yesterday. 
lol nice one

Mac if you can't say something nice, please don't say anything at all.
Since you spew so much negativity on this board perhaps it would be best if you just "went back to work." No one would miss you. Ba-bye!
Wow! How nice!

Very nice, indeed...............nm
