I'm divorced because my ex-husband cheated. Simple as that.

Posted By: MissouriMT on 2006-07-20
In Reply to: gees where is all this mistrust and anger coming from? sm - none

I trusted him and he took advantage.  I don't appreciate you insinuating that my mistrust issues are the reason I'm divorced.  My ex's dishonesty is the reason I'm divorced.

poll: Would you forgive your husband if he cheated?
Assuming you have children and assumming he seems remorseful, would you save the marriage?  
I get less done when my husband is laying in the bed - I feel cheated if I am working while he is re

U cheated!

LOL! I'm afraid this poll is exclusively for male celebrities who are ALIVE! LOL


PS:  But he did have a sexy way about him, I agree!


She cheated me out of over $150...sm
lame excuse was that QA had to retype the reports due to blanks. Bull.......i left a few blanks in each of those reports because the sound quality was so horrendous, but the reports were typed. I even saved the reports I typed as proof, she still did NOT pay me.
24 and very thankfully divorced before 30!

wow - someone is getting cheated on hourly - sm
Let's face it, a facility will do their darndest to start out an employee at a low rate and then slowly bring them up. But for the Lafayette area, the pay should be (AND IS EXPECTED TO BE) around $12-13/hour.

Opelousas - a while back there was a hospital in that area that had an opening for a transcriptionist.
I was married to a guy like that once. I divorced him.
Most selfish, insensitive, clueless human being on planet earth. Good riddance.
not to be unkind, but how did you get divorced without
Did your husband divorce you by publice notice and that is why you did not know about the court order?

I am not trying to start a flame...just asking.
I'm with you on this one, but I divorced hubby....

I don't feel cheated. I don't think you owe an
I think you should be careful about slinging such words around.

I've never been paid more for my MT work in my life and I've done this more than 20 years. I've never been happier.

:) I hope you will be, too, when you've had this many years in the profession.
I can be a royal ***** when cheated :)
Keep in mind this happened a while ago - have no idea if same people, etc. But I found out the owner's name or at least a top dog and asked for them repeatedly until they spoke with me. Explained that THEY had not been paid... Don't know what the real deal was but I was lucky. Pay was only delayed (don't remember how long) verus not paid at all.

I'll tell you what I'd do if they had NOT paid pretty quickly - and I've posted this many times. Some think it's mean, others suggest I'd be sued, but before I spent MY money to sue to get MY MONEY, I'd do this:

I would let them know very politely that you will be contacting their client(s). NOT FOR PAYMENT. But just to advise that *they* (the client) and THEIR RECORDS will be involved in a lawsuit if you are not paid within 48 hours, or an negotiated time period.

I rather doubt they want their client to be contacted, much less subpoena'd to court.

That's what *I* would do, but I strongly suggest you run this by an attorney before you take my advice - don't want to make it worse for you.

Good luck!

what is the name of the company that cheated you?
nm
wonder how many lines we've all been cheated out of??
One of two things could happen, more MTs stepping forward, MQ going under, we all go to the wolves (Spheris) OR  there is a settlement, we're offered 20K each.
I signed yesterday! :) They say Jen cheated! LOL NMd

How about married and divorced 4 times
He likes to lecture people about *the sanctity of marriage* and goes on and on about gays. I guess it only applies to other people and not himself.
I divorced mine 15 years ago and he....sm

He has not changed those passive aggressive ways......he got remarried about 5 years ago and I feel very sorry for his new wife.


However, I stay far, far away from him........passive aggressive men can be and some are very dangerous............


oh and horses don't change colors.............LOL



17, lost him to Hodgkin's; 24 the next time, divorced him then
36 the next time, happily married for 4 years. Third time is the charm.
If you know the county that he was divorced in, do a google search
for that county's public records website. Where I live, I can access the county's public records via web and lookup by last name and first name and these are free searches as they are public records. If he had any prior record of domestic violence, it will show up there.
Why does it seem that all divorced women are so bitter? It is not ALL men that are rats. You just
found one that was.
I was in a similar situation a few years ago, I got divorced. nm

Really? I've been punched in the mouth, cheated on, and shot at

I totally understand but if your husband is like my husband... sm

When it comes to something like that, that I usually take care of but for whatever reason I can't, I will tell my husband exactly what to do, but when he comes back - to use your case as a "for instance" - I will ask him, "Did the doctor look at his foot?" 


Him: "No."


Me: "Did you ask the doctor to look at his foot?"


Him: "No."


Me:  "I told you to have the doctor look at his foot!"


Him: (shrug)


etc., etc., etc.


Your husband may not be like that - I sure hope he isn't. And yes, they should have checked his vitals and checked his foot without being asked. But sometimes you have to be assertive with people. And while my husband attained the rank of major in the Air Force and had no trouble ordering people around, there are times when he should be assertive but isn't. And he is not intimidated by doctors - he started his AF career as an x-ray tech (that's how we met). I dunno....(Rad MT wanders off, mumbling....)


don't type double spaces. Type single. Then no one will be cheated.

Simple as this!
Then you absolutely must stay where USA has jurisdiction and that is absolutely not in a foreign country.  Those are the rules and laws and everyone knows that up front.  The troops, the FBI, the CIA, the US police do not help you when you get drunk and/or lost in a foreign country.     But you know that don't you?
It is really quite simple. sm
If you are a good MT, which most of us are, and all of a sudden you start getting a bunch of crap.  I was very happy to be with a company that afforded you the luxury of being an MT, but yet a "hospital employee".  This was a very innovative thing and I jumped on the band wagon.  All the money is in ops, surgeons, they are predictable, macro-friendly, organized, don't flip through the charts and make me the most money.  After being with this company for over 3 months, at my skill level, and only to get cued 10 ops, most of which were rejected and cherry picked, that is a HUGE sign.  I did not tell "them" that is why I quit, they need to figure it out for themselves.  I personally liked the team leader, but she is obviously pooling work out to her favorites, and not giving new MTs a chance - hence they will still "be with the original team", not realizing that people unfortunately get sick, die, move on, and the "original team" will not last forever.  I am so glad to be out of there.  Don't know if new company is going to be any better, have to wait and see.
I think both, but not as simple as that.
We do all make choices, but in some instances there are very few choices.  Yes, we should first avail ourselves of education.  Basic education is available to everyone in this country.  After high school, education becomes harder to obtain, but it is available to everyone.  You do have to have either transportation or a computer, and you have to have time to participate, but if you want it bad enough you can find a way.  All that being said, if the company you work for suddenly closes, and there are few jobs available where you live, you can find yourself in a bad situation that you did not create.  I think government assistance is important for people that find themselves in a temporary bad situation, but should not be allowed to be a way of life, except in the case of disability. 
Very simple....
You tell them you're going digital, and they can either join you in the 21st century or be left behind.
well that seems simple enough! thanks

Might try Simple FTP....sm
They have an option where you can log on as a guest and try out.
So simple, when you know what to do!
Thanks, that worked by just turning off and back on. I am so techology challenged!

It is not your chair, keyboard, et cetera causing you to be so uncomfortable...getting up at least every 2 hours and walking the floors for 5 minutes works wonders in rejuvenating the body back to comfort level. It works for me and I didn't have to spend any more on equipment, hmmmm, not sure about the carpet yet though...LOL 
Hi - I wish it were that simple. sm
I'm not able to use Express Scribe due to company policy against outside players. The player is the one that is built in to InScribe. The sound quality is excellent, but there's no way to access the player that I can see, except as mentioned above, and those options have been turned off.

Thanks for your input. :)

Also may be something as simple as
if an injection is needed into the arm, for influenza, tetanus, whatever, that could cause soreness, they might look to see which is dominant and inject into the opposite.
Seems simple. Look for co. that will allow U to

Simple as that then.
If you can't make enough money to even survive as a speech rec editor, then you should choose option C. That is the point.

But, the big nationals, or should I say big globals, are not the only game in town, and if you choose option A and learn how to edit efficiently and improve your production then good for you. Editing and straight transcription require different skill sets some folks just simply cannot make the transition.


Simple explanation
The industry is in tremendous flux, and with so many unstable companies job hopping by transcriptionists is normal. Nobody is nearly organized enough to keep a blacklist. More simple explanation is that every ad generates 1000s of resumes. I once got a reply two months after the fact. Not rude, nor anything to be paranoid about, though certainly not a pleasant experience.
Simple answer:

Coast---------------------------------->


Find someone you can just "unload on" - a sounding board - we can do it if you want. 


Hunker down.


Your first goal should be to GET HIM OUT.  You don't move.  You GET HIM OUT.  You may be able to get legal advice on how to do that from counselors at any abused wife shelters or community police officer.  (of course do that on the sly) 


Find out where you stand legally on getting him out with the least amount of hassle and start getting legitimate CHILD SUPPORT from him.  That means $$ to pay for day care.  None of this 50/50 stuff.  You are giving him an easy way out and you are still going to be in a bind.  DON'T DO IT.


Forget about buying the house.


More AND cheaper ones are on the horizon, trust me.


This way you will still have your "downpayment" that will be growing interest - and it will be tucked away and you will still have your IRA for emergencies.


One thing that bothers me - you said YOU WORK NIGHTS and HE WORKS DAYS.  So he gets to sleep/while the kids are sleeping- at night, right?  But you have to take care of the toddlers all day and try to grab naps, right?  Do you get this uneven picture here?


That's what "working from home" turns out to be - you get to work all night and odd times during the day, but never get to sleep.  Between doing housework, tending babies, dealing with angry men, there is no life.  And MTing is stressful.


Forget the house.


Get him out.


Get childsupport started.  You don't need him there to babysit - he's sleeping while he is "babysitting"!


Save your money.


There, is that a plan? 


All things will fall into place after that.  Who knows, maybe you can be director of medical records instead of MTing at the hospital with your schooling. 


 


Just a simple question
Don't get yourself all worked up here, or you might just find yourself hitting the bottle soon! LOL!
simple MD error

They forgot to turn off the microphone before they said the words, OR they forgot to use the proper commands to direct you up to the location they wanted.

Had they done either, the words never would have appeared in the first place.


simple answer to

They think that typing medical reports make them as smart as doctors.


Simple solution
Keep the door closed and the cat out! Cats CAN indeed be trained that certain areas are off limits, but nothing works better than a keeping the cat out of the room. Problem solved, yes?
The solution is simple
Report that MT to your boss. If the MT continues then report to your boss again along with your boss's boss. Keep climbing the chain of command until SOMEONE does something about this MT.
simple question but here goes...

why do some messages have those yellow markers in front of them, they seem to have a lot more  views  than the other messages..can't figure it out...and it's probably something simple..thx.


simple question

I'm relatively new to transcription, so this is probably a dumb question, but here goes...


How does a C-phone work?  Is this live dictation?


 


you sound new and simple

Simple -- do the math
Pull up one of your old documents and figure out your gross line count and then divide characters by 70.   See how the totals compare.  Do not know what your margins are in your gross line, if they are longer  with margins at .5 and .5 versus then you could come out ahead but if they are at 1. and 1. then you will be close to even  with an increase of 1.5.   But again would be simple to figure out from one of your old documents.   Just me 2 cents worth.  Patti
I think the answer is simple
some people are just faster typists than others. I had 2 bosses that both typed circles around me and yet I average 130-140 wpm. I think you could have all kinds of macros, etc. and still if your speed is slower, well that says it all.
Very simple procedure
Download your voice files from the email to directory (folder) on your hard drive (usually should create special one just for this) you know you will always use for docking these recordings. Then open ES and click on the Load square at top of program. This will open the directories on your computer. Go find the one where you just downloaded the email recordings to, click on the one you want to bring into ES (one by one or batch). Then click the "load" key at the bottom of that screen and you should see them coming into the ES window. Takes a while for them to install if they're long. It's only complicated the first time!
