I think you are preaching to the moon.
This subject is just as bad as politics and religion. Good for you, you don't eat meat. As for me, I think nothing tastes better than a nice big juicy steak! Yum, yum!
I'm not preaching. And anyone who cares is still paying attention. SM
If you don't care, then you'll be without a job soon enough. The rest of us will try elevate medical transcription while you work for pennies and compete with the Indians.
Thank you very much for helping everyone! nm

just helping
hold your anger
helping ...
I'd really love to do this, but, with my health, I never know if its a 'good' day or not, generally not. My plans this year are painting, it'll be cool enough, and should be rather entertaining with 3 little dogs sticking their noses in the paint LOL
helping others
when I can reach through whatever pain is in my life and help someone else, my pain seems to lessen
Thanks for helping me to get a different (sm)
perspective on this. Both of your responses made me remember just how often the docs do say thanks, or have a nice day, or wish me a happy holiday if I happen to be working on one. Think I'll just try to remember to focus on the good ones and stop letting the ones with bad attitudes get to me.
Thanks again for letting me get that off my chest--hope you both have a great rest of the week! :)
Ya ain't helping yourself
Tru dat is slang expression appropriated from the urban/hip-hop culture that even here nestled in the far far reaches of the midwest I am aware of, rating right up there with foshizzle and the old favorites 'dissing', 'blood', and 'groovy'. If you believe that to be a mockery of Southeast Asian pronunciation, maybe Curious did hit the nail on the head.
Your school should be helping you
to find employment. All the best MT schools provide job placement assistance. At the very least, your school should be able to tell you what companies seek to hire their graduates. It should be something your school is proud and eager to share with you. If no one is willing to hire graduates of your school, you might have to bite the bullet and get some further training from one of the MT schools that turn out job-ready MTs. Companies are eager to hire from those schools because they know what they're getting. Good luck to you.
thanks for helping. I still don't know what to do though. I can't hear V5.
I do QA also and agree with that QA - she is helping you really. nm

Helping U.S. MTs is exactly my thought.
I don't really believe that there will never be a need for U.S. MTs, but I feel this may open up a new market for U.S. MTs, giving more expereinced MTs a new avenue for their skills (at least that would be my hope). I appreciate your comments, they really help!
thanks for helping to describe
what I cannot - and Jim is the guy that I talked to, also. I wanted to jump through the phone and kiss him when I finally found one to replace my old one. I am so glad someone knows what I am talking about.
Thank you all for this! I appreciate your time in helping me! (nm)

Well put, Me...I thought we were helping each other on this board. Just keep it to yourself next ti
Not very nice.

Any MT in it for recognition and helping humanity only?

thanks again for helping - makes sense
as he is in very close proximity to a lot of businesses and they are tiny places and may not be aware they are sharing and he gets it for free. May have to take mine over and see what happens!
I am so grateful that there are such smart and kind people here to help. Thank you so much. When you walk into a store you never know what ulterior motives they have in telling you what you need!
everybody needs a helping hand some times--sm
boy, are you coldhearted. Glad you are not my friend/relative/neighbor.
A helping hand, sure. Not encouraging MT to

I'm helping a local MTSO out who is in a bind.
He uses Word and my company uses WP5.1. He sent me some templates and I can pull those up, but there is some header information with patient name, etc. that is shaded gray and I can't get to that to enter the information and I don't know enough about Word to know what to do at this point. The MTSO knows even less about Word than I do and the MT that did the account is out for surgery.
I hope I'm making sense and someone can tell me what to do or what to go to look for the information. I've done straight typing in Word using templates previously and I have not had to do any formatting, so this is all new to me.
I have no problem helping people who deserve it
I welcome anyone from there who has gotten up in the morning and worked like the rest of us and was hit with an unfortunate run of bad luck, but when I see people taking TV's out of stores, shooting at the EMT's who are trying to help people, and crapping all over the Astrodome, no thanks. I don't want them in my city or even on my planet.
In transcription for recognition and helping humanity?
Ummm no. Money.
It cut off my reply... I worked with one guy who was helping pay thru med school by transcribing...

Another "Google It" response! Enough already! Lend a helping hand.
Just so everyone know, I can ill afford 50.00 but that is what life is about, helping people (inside
I have no family, just 2 pets. I am probably going to be out of a job soon myself, but if I cannot help someone else then my days are numbered. $50.00 will not kill me. It is pointless to say she should have been prepared, evidently she was, she HAD insurance. If I can make anyones load a little lighter I can live on that at least 6 months. To know you are not alone in this world might keep someones hope to keep on keeping on just one more day, then my moral values have been enlightened. The key word is "morals."
I think sometimes we are getting as cruel and thougtless as the companies who want profits at any cost. They are teaching us that. We seem to be learning well by some of the posts to this person's dilemna. I for one am not going blind yet, although my mother did right before her death and it broke my heart as she loved to read.
"Compassion," what happened to that? So far at 63 I am still healthy. I have no insurance, I cannot afford $500 a month, but I can still offer help to a fellow human being.
Merry Christmas and to all a good night.

It's my daughter (rcv'd AA in ང). She's helping a friend with (smsg)
the friend's final project in video production. My daughter is taking the stills for it, which is allowed. She is going to be mentioned in the credits and was wondering how it would look. Her AA is in photography.
I do agree, though, it's not "that" big of an accomplishment in the everyday world. Kind of like CMT...  , although I would use that in something like a cover letter for a resume.
Yeah, I'd have to let them start helping with the cooking to learn some appreciation (sm)
"Sounds mean but I came from a family of 7 that had only 1 income and we ate what was put on the table and if we complained too much then we had liver and spinach the next night. "
That's hilarious! Your parents were smart! I grew up the same way, except that spinach was one veggie we liked, and mom only made liver twice a year because she hated it herself.
What type of doctor specializes in helping people gain weight?
I'm kind of baffled on what my mother should do, and I'm hoping that someone out there has typed a report on something like this.
My mom weighs 78 pounds and cannot gain weight through diet. She has seen several doctors, and they are not sure what she should do. Is there a type of doctor that specializes in this?
Her history is that she had a severe H. pylori infection. When I was a kid it was so severe that her stomach ulcers hemorrhaged and she went into a coma for a while. By the time H. pylori became an actual diagnosable condition, the infection had eaten away most of her stomach. She went on antibiotics finally, but by that time she had to have the majority of her stomach, some of her intestines, and her gallbladder removed.
She now eats quite a bit, but everything runs right through her. She can't gain weight no matter how much she consumes. She has tried all the protein drinks and even tried eating large quantities of trail mix with no results. She can't gain weight no matter what she tries.
She has seen several doctors and a dietician. None have have offered any real solutions and all have questioned whether she is anorexic and just hiding it.
Does anyone know of a clinic or hospital that specializes in this? Are there any types of treatment for this?
IMHO, helping humanity is along the lines of teaching, volunteering, nursing, working with

Ebonics: Not a black thing or white thing. (sm)
I don't think there's any cause to get upset or defensive here. Look it up on line...even colleges are offering courses in Ebonics! ...well of course they are more sociology-type courses, but still, people are PAYING to learn about the why's and how's of this "other" language.
A quote from one of the sites I found:
"UT-Austin's "Introduction to the Study of African American English," teaches students that the sentence, "Nobody didn't leave" is not "mainstream English with mistakes," but rather a legitimate English dialect. "Ebonics: Myth and Facts" and "African-American English" are both offered at Harvard. Penn and UCLA also promote Ebonics as a legitimate dialect in, "Introduction to African American and Latino English" and "Afro-American Sociolinguistics: Black English," respectively."

A "man" thing? What the heck is a "man thing?"
"I was told it was a "MAN" thing and everyone does it (i guess all men)"
whenever anyone takes an action and relates it to a whole gender and then tags on everyone does it....well, I guess there's your answer

Thanks gj...the only thing I can tell you...sm
is that I just worked some overflow stuff and kept looking until I found what I wanted. I am lucky enough not to have to depend on my income right now, so I was able to be much more picky. If you would like more info, let me know and I can email you. Hope all works out well with you and thanks for the good wishes.

 I was only referring to the bitter ones here who work for MQ, not all MQrs. I am one of the MQrs, ya know! Please get your facts straight before you post a response!

I just had to add one thing (sm)
You need to stop thinking you are owed, whatever the situation may be.
Hard work does pay off and if you're working for the wrong people, there are many more out there. I've found a lot of "wrong people" in this business, LOL.
one more thing...sm
I suck at OP notes...does this matter? 
YOU ARE SO RIGHT - IT WAS THE BEST THING I EVER DID ALSO!
And I too heard from companies I didn't even know existed!
I was told by a couple of them that they don't post on this board because they received calls and resumes from people who did not read what the positions were for and it was a nightmare. They made requests for no overseas need apply and of course, overseas would call and apply. If it was a certain requirement, say 5+ years experience, newbies would apply. Just things like that.
same thing
This profession is going to hell in a hand basket.
The only thing I have to say is sm
why on earth would anyone stay with ANY company if they are treated so poorly? A good MT still has a whole lot of options. Assuming these complaints about SS, MQ, KS, Spheris, whatever company, are true, why do people continue to work for them?
one more thing
Go you for watching something that is hard to watch and for trying to inform yourself and others, please spread the word, what an idea to get this into schools, but probably will never happen. There are many videos out there that you can purchase for nominal fees and hold private showings for friends and family members, one person tells one person and so on, keep the information flowing!!!!
one more thing (sm)
If you are talking about disability insurance on your mortgage, credit account, etc. be very, very careful when you purchase it. Read the fine print on the contract. A friend of mine is terminal and had disability insurance on a number of her accounts. The one on her second mortgage is still paying. She had one on a credit card and those weasels charged her $15 every month for the insurance fee, paid $16 on the balance of her credit card each month, and then after a year said they were done paying! Read the fine print!!
My dad is going thru the same thing....
From what I was told he is having all checks made out to her estate and not him personally (he is the executor). She had some stocks ($2000-$3000). If the checks were made out to him he has to pay tax on them but if they are made out to my grandmother's estate then she is responsible but since she did not make enough money in 2005 there will be no taxes taken out. I may be wrong but that is my understanding of the situation.
VR may NOT be the Next Big Thing...
MedQuist has been trying for years to push VR on the hospital radiology department I transcribe for and they absolutely REFUSE to use it. MQ was always like "try it, you'll like it" and I believe they did try it one day and that was it. MQ finally gave up. So there is hope for us all yet!
My son did the same thing.
He was in football and really did well. Everyone in the family always talked about how great he was with football. Then he decided to quit one day. I was so disappointed because I knew he could have gotten a college scholarship. It is SO tough to be supportive of someone when you think they're making the wrong choice. My Dad got on my son's case about being a quitter and an underachiever. He really came down hard on him, so I had to defend my son. In defending my son, I changed my own thinking. I realized that although we give birth to these adorable little babies, they are their own person. They're going to do things that we would have done differently. What can you do? You can't impose your will upon them. We all have dreams for our children. However, their dreams are more important than our expectations of them.
My son just did the same thing...
to him and we all had to adjust our schedules to accommodate him and he just quit. This was going to be his senior year on the varsity team. Unfortunately, he did not participate in anything else for his whole high school career, so now he has no activities resume. You can't tell him anything though. He does do extremely well in school and takes several APs as well, but it was disappointing. He was going to try to get an internship with our local hospital, but of course, that never panned out. Now he works about 15 hours a week and hangs out the rest of the time. His attitude is getting really crappy too, but his father won't do a thing about it. He took his car the other night, but gave it back to him the next morning. Yeah...that really taught him a good lesson :(! He has been really frustrating me lately. He is a great kid and when he is good he is the best, but when he isn't, he is just unbearable. He's not into drugs or drinking or partying and is a homebody, so I guess I have no real complaints. Maybe it's me not handling his new "adultness." pheww....that was a vent and a half!
