I'm sure it would come as a relief to be fired.

relief
I start to brace at night. Believe it or not it helps. Warm soaks help too, take a potty break and run under warm water.
tendonitis relief
I'm looking for ideas for symptomatic relief of tendonitis, sleeping in a brace doesn't seem to be helping much. The pain started in my left pinky finger and is now traveling up toward my elbow. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Transcription Relief
Does anybody know anything about this company? I tested for them and wonder if anybody has any experience with them. Thanks.
pain relief
A conservative measure would be to purchase an ergonomic chair, if you are not already using one. They are costly, but work well in alleviating alot of the 'stress points' while transcribing. If you want information on where to purchase one, please contact me.
Big sigh of relief
from the other posts I thought perhaps not supposed to claim things for the work I have done at home, even at regular employee. I am spoiled by getting full check but know I have to start putting money back soon.
Transcription Relief
I took the test for Transcription Relief Services a year ago and passed. However, they only offered me 7.5 cpl even with over 20 years experience. So, you are not missing anything.
I just saw on MSNBC where relief efforts sm
have finally reached Slidell. From the video, there are boats and jetskis and FEMA is there, too. There is flooding and the homes have been severely damaged. Hope we can hear from her soon.
s/l morphine and T3s for pain relief sm
for patient with metastatic cancer. TIA
No to tax relief agencies. Depending sm
on your situation, you can do this yourself through an offer in compromise. Most are a scam or a ruse to flush out people who do not pay taxes. I answered an ad on TV for NADN for help with taxes, and ended up with someone from the Treasury Department at my front door. That was just the beginning of my nightmare.
Wow.. Thanks.. what a relief.. no blanks in that report thanks to you!!
Anybody had any experience with tax relief services SM
for back taxes owed, specifically state tax? I owe some back taxes to the state (2005), not much, $1200. Need to come up with it pronto. I saw an ad on TV about tax relief and was wondering if anyone has done this. Thanks.
Neck Pain Relief
The main problem I have is neck pain from typing. Found some good products to help and especially the neck exercises that keep me going with less pain and headaches.
Nat'l Humane Society Disaster Relief
Just watched the rescue of doggies, kitties and birdies with 1700 animals rescued. My wallet just got a couple dollars lighter. Poor little things.
do't worry, go for the steroid shot and relief!
I have tendonitis along with RHA. When my elbow flares up (as it's doing now), I pop the ibuprofen, use a gel wrap for "tennis elbow" you can pick up in the drug stores and try to limit my heavy movement with that one.
That said, I have to have it along with my hip injected 3-4 times a year. Not sure if my rheumy is just the best or not but I've never had any pain with the steroid injections. I call him slick and the relief is almost instant, no more tears from the pain. HTH
Similasan for earache relief. It is homiopathic.

Transcription Relief Services has a school
with AAMT approval for offshore transcriptionists.
Why is the AAMT promoting this?

For temporary relief, try Salonpas patches SM
I have chronic back pain and went through the chronic pain classes with my HMO. The spine surgeon suggested trying Salonpas patches. I didn't think they would help at all, but they did give me some temporary relief. I feel they work as well as the expensive "name brand" heat patches you can buy, although if I am going to be on an airplane, I wear one of those bigger and longer lasting patches. The Salonpas are about 2 x 3 inches, flat, have a pleasant odor, and I have used them on my back, on the wrists, and one time even on my face for a sinus-type headache. (My daughter says I was crazy to do that, but it helped). You can buy a box of the Salonpas very reasonably at any drugstore but they are VERY cheap at Sam's Club or Costco. It is really awful to have to transcribe (or do any work) when it causes pain. I hope some of these suggestions others have made will help you. I have used the type of neck pad that you heat in the microwave, but that was a long time ago. I just saw them on the Mouse Mitts site, thanks to the MT who posted the link. I'm going to order another one of those right away. There are a lot of helpful people out there. Take care...
Wise.MT
Yes, thank you! And thank you for locking out some of the negative messages. What a relief!

donations for the relief coming from 50+ countries, including
-- India is making a $5 million donation to the American Red Cross, Ambassador Ronen Sen said Saturday. In addition, Sen said India was willing to donate essential medicines to the relief effort, noting that India has the largest number of Food and Drug Administration-recognized pharmaceutical companies outside the United States.
My kiddos start school next Wed and I'm not ashamed to say it will be a relief. My teenaged son
gives me hourly updates on his boredom every single day. Now, my daughter is starting kindergarten this year and I will be sad probably the first week because she's my baby - my last baby - but she is sooooo ready for school. She just can't wait. Maybe I should be the one with hurt feelings since she can't way to leave me!
I highly doubt my son's feelings are hurt when I say "Just think, you won't be bored when school starts."
Relief from this coal miner's daughter for all of those families and prayers for the one fallen.
Coal miners are a rare breed. Thank God these were saved.
Anybody been fired from an mt job?

You won't get fired for this.
Relax! Accidents happen to everybody, especially when training on something new. All you need to do is send an e-mail briefly explaining you had 2 technical problems and providing job numbers or whatever you know about them. Then say, "Very sorry!"
It sounds like you are doing fine.
(And I'm supposedly the mean one). @@
Won't be fired.
Why continue doing something that isn't making money. Why take a paycut? I will not take a paycut. I am paid little as it is. If I take a cut in pay, might as well go work at the local Wal-Mart. JMO.
And get fired? LOL You first, Satan. LOL

Just fired a doctor
I just fired one of my doctors and I feel so much better! I'm an IC and this office has been a royal pain! Very late payments, constantly losing reports and blaming me for not transcribing them, never letting me know when they'd be off (wasting my gas and time), getting behind on dictating and then wanting 5+ days of dictation back in twelve hours, etc. The final straw was when they started making me go in the waiting room and stand at the sign-in window behind all their patients to drop off work. Of course, if they were on the phone, I'd have to wait even longer when I reached the window... at times up to twenty minutes before the receptionist would open the window and take the work. I decided my other offices appreciate me too much to allow that one office to treat me like a second class citizen. To top it off -- what did the wife say when I fired him? "You can't do that -- you need the money." Too bad for her, because their money isn't worth my self-respect!
Fired a doctor
I am proud of you.
to just fired a doctor, way to go!
Reading your post sort or reminded me of those new DHL commercials on customer service (or the lack of).
When I worked in office, our old fashioned German boss would never have allowed anyone to wait..if he was running 30 minutes late, we moved every body back 45...those were the good ol days.
Well I Just Got fired so it does not matter !!!!
Back to the office for me thank god I had a plan B !!!!
Fired from one and moved to another
What is the point
No, but I've fired quite a few.

In my state you can be fired
for absolutely no reason, probably works the same as hiring. Like in my original post, I passed and told lose 20 lbs- I did not get out of sorts- I felt their loss and went on really to much better things- the telephone companies started laying off right and left so it was a blessing probably in disguise. There was no disgusing for me- literally told that- where in your case it seems like assuming on your part this is what they are thinking.
job stress. die or get fired.
i am quite upset. one of my co-workers passed away. we here all know it was from job stress, but we are not to admit it and were repremanded so by our superiors. basically it came down to "die or get fired". lucky for her she died before she could get fired.
now i am sitting here at work today wondering what the heck am i supposed to do? we cannot talk about the job stress and that is what did her in, but she was sick and getting sicker and this is why she passed away. she was sick and getting sicker from the stress dawg-gone it.
nobody gets it.
tuesday she told me that a lot of her sickness had to do with wondering if she was going to have a job or not and what would she do if she got fired? she was beside herself with worry. she worked her for 25 years, and was a good employee and excellent Transcriptionist until the new supervisor took over and started ragging on her like a pit bull dog and his prey. and this is a catholic hospital. i guess this is the new christian work ethic.
i need to vent. any comments would be appreciated but since i am at work please make them nice. i have had enough bad stuff happen around here today.
But... MTs like that would get, sooner or later, FIRED..
don't you think?
Can you get fired for doing too much work?
Has anyone been fired for getting too much work done? I have been making at least the third bonus tier for the last couple of checks (I have also been working OT), so I am afraid that it might look more pleasing to fire me and hire 2 PT workers that don't make the bonuses and don't qualify for benefits. Has anyone heard of any companies doing this? I have only been with my company for 9 months, and since I am the only one bringing in a pay check right now, I am getting really nervous. Any managers that read this, I more than welcome hearing from you as well. I just want to know if I should be concerned or if I can ease off the worry a little. Thanks!!
Only once have I seen a coworker fired and that was due to
the client no longer wanting the MT on the account. This MT was also a high producer, management raved about this person's high numbers while we gasped everytime we saw their work as it was riddled with careless errors, had no format and extra spaces and lines, uneven margins made their work look like the work of an amateur.
It took just under a year for the client to finally say something. In the meantime, I was accused of being "jealous because they made more money."
Type each report like it is the only way. Make it look like a page out of a medical journal and sign it off with love :) The benefit then comes from having people look to see who typed should a great report. Off days occur, of course, and that is when we should slow down.
You can be fired for any reason they want. sm
They don't even have to have a reason but it doesn't show well for a company to just randomly fire.
Has anyone been fired or dismissed on an account
So frustrated when you ask for help and people do not help who have experience.. Oh well

Cherry pickers should be FIRED!!
If your co-worker was any kind of a true MT she would grow up and do whatever came up in her q. Tell your supervisor! I wish I knew this idiots phone number. It really ticks me off when people cherry pick. You have my sympathy girl.
When her EMPLOYER tells her she is fired, is she going
jkl
I guess you can refuse and be fired and then
be making no money.
Not fired but at 2 places I worked
First place worked on something called units. I would usually go over 50 a day and was told 1 day if anyone got over 50 then would stop and do paper work. Told the boss that would be discrimination against me as I was the only 1 doing over 50. So much for that. The second place was 2 transcriptions only for a fairly good sized hospital. No work sent out, no need for extra people. I was told 1 day by human resources- well look how much you make at 60 thous plus and I said, yes but take the place of 2-3 people. Your pay can and has played into my work in the past. People used to offer incentive, but don’t make too much. Could be the same now with making $$$$.
Just fired off a letter to the author
I laughed when I read the part about the doctor must have been swamped and in a zoo because heard the elephant. I told the author about I along with others heard things such as urination, BMs, snorting, cell phones going in and out, dogs barking at home, and the list goes on. I said soon all the work might go overseas if the salaries here continued or dropped and most are not like the 30 something thou he said but more like in the 20s with women working long days and wkends. Also that was a hoot about the doctors being editors and no one else could change. I think I edit and I do not know of a single physician here who edits, maybe others do but not me. I told him MTers know about work outsourcing but most patients do not and I personally have done work before not only having the name but the SS of that person and good way for identity fraud. I think most Americans would not like knowing their records are going to other countries. I also said no such thing as over abdunance of work here for us, lots of MT employees run low, out every day. Well off my soap box now.
Depends on if you are fired 'for cause'
If you are let go because of incompetence, absenteeism or some fault on your part, the company can appeal your claim for unemployment and possibly win. Do they have documentation of your misdeeds? Disciplinary memos about your inability to perform in the job adequately (bad QA evaluations, etc.) or that you consistently were AWOL?
If they let you go because of lack of work, lost accounts, company reorganization, in other words nothing that was your fault, you will most likely qualify for unemployment, although I believe most companies consider it their duty to contest such a claim.
This is administered state by state, and it's hard to generalize about each state's procedures. But I believe it is usually the company that has the burden of proof that you were a bad employee, since it would be very difficult for you to prove a negative - that you were not.
fired/voluntarily quitting
Rule of thumb is if you are fired unemployment isn't as difficult to obtain. If you voluntarily leave a job, pray . . . harder to get it.
I've never been fired by anyone in my entire life.
I hate MQ and I'm happy to tell everyone why. However, every MT is different and every MTSO is different. What works for me may not work for someone else. I found my fit elsewhere.
Thanks. I knew it was wrong when I typed it but was too fired-up with this
concept to correct it. But at least I'm honest. Hey, you really don't know me. I just really expect more intelligence than what obviously is out there and never cease to be amazed at what people think is "funny" especially the latest trend of making men look stooooopid on the situation comedies, in jokes, in commercials.
You don't really think I am a guy do you intimidated by women? Cause you lose all cred as far as your insight. Actually I do think as a whole men are smarter than women but I would never be intimidated by women or men. I believe what I believe based on my experience and background. No dog in this fight. No intimidation. No bias. Just life experience.
Were U moved to another account or fired from the company? How can

I'd be furious if I had driven 5 hours to get fired..sm
Absolutely unnecessary. Is there and age discrimination issue in there somewhere??
