I completely agree
These ESLs work hard to learn the language before they come here, many learning it through their school years, come here and legitimately and legally set up their practices (I haven't heard of any doctors complaining that their jobs are being taken by foreigners), and they still have to fight for any respect.
you are welcome and I completely agree with what you are saying!
it seems that so many like to twist around the Word or leave parts out that are uncomfortable.
I agree completely!!
When I first started typing for MedQuist, if there was a difficult doctor, I would skip over it. As time progressed, the more typing I did, the better I got and didn't want to skip over reports, I wanted to be able to type whatever came up! If you NEVER type these heavy accented doctors, you will NEVER learn to do them. I agree with you "Got the Letter" and am waiting for my phone call!!
I agree with you completely
when EVERYONE criticizes how the government is run and how they do things? Why put your life and those of your family in jeopardy waiting on the government to help you. What happened to PEOPLE helping each other? People seeing that their elderly neighbors get to safety? People pulling together to solve these issues? Why do so many seem to be waiting to see what the government can do for them?? The government has enough problems! I certainly would not rely on the government for ANYTHING! Do these people want to government telling them what to do in their everyday lives? If so, move to a country with no democracy!
 I'm finished for the time being.. but WAKE UP PEOPLE!
I agree with you completely
and believe me, they don't give a patient a discount because they feel guilty. They don't give the employees yearly raises. While they (and the 2 office managers) get their bonuses and go buy brand new cars, SUVs, boats, vacation homes and, yes, even airplanes, they have plenty of employees struggling to make ends meet. One employee (that I know of, a newly divorced woman) recently took bankruptcy and our insurance is so bad that most of us can't afford to even go to the doctor as we have $2,600 deductible for a single person! I would NOT feel guilty one bit!

I completely agree with you . .
Did you see Tanya Tucker's reality show? I loved that. There's one about roller derby girls and a new one is coming out about rodeo cowboys - sounds exciting to me.
I completely agree - sm
I love it when they say thank you. It makes me smile every time. It also makes me smile and chuckle a little when I get one that will laugh at themself when he/she gets tripped up on their words.
I agree completely
Sad but so true.
I agree with you completely!
And now that many companies are cracking down on and checking quality due to client complaints and sloppiness, I would bet many MT line counts will be going down real fast. Remember, haste makes waste... and slow but steady wins the race! 
Oh, I completely agree. (sm)
I've also seen 20-year MTs who proudly announce that they don't know the difference between there, their and they're, and it doesn't matter anyway. (?!!)
It is appalling. But those people also rarely post on boards because it's just a job they put in and they don't usually want to use a computer or talk about work outside of work (in my experience).
Maybe if somebody had let them know differently in the beginning, they would have chosen another career or taken the time to learn the English language.
You are only the second English major MT I have come across, and the other one is the best MT whose work I've seen.
Completely agree
Always have two companies, at least.
i completely agree.
"Assault" may sound nicer than "rape" but it's NOT the same thing. It's the MT's job to accurately record the doctor's words, pretty or not. Of course we may correct grammar but certainly not the meaning of a document.
These are sometimes used as legal documents and that should always be taken into account.
I COMPLETELY agree.
I mean, it's not as though we have nothing else to do! These tests take a long time and unless you have no job, they are much too time consuming. The worst is when you don't pass after spending so much time.
Also, you go through the grammar, etc. and then come to that?!
I think a couple of carefully selected files will tell them everything they need to know about your skill level.
NO. Not lazy at all!
Agree completely. Sometimes I am not even
sure if I am talking to the same person when they do not use their same initials or names with every post.
I agree completely (sm)
As another poster said, our bodies "know" when we have typed a certain number of lines. Having worked for various transcription companies, I found it difficult to even reach the minimum lines with many of these places. I feel very fortunate to have found an MTSO that is honest. Guess what, I am transcribing over 2,000 lines in 5 or 6 hours! I am saving every penny possible because I know it will not last forever.
I agree completely
Well said. It's been said time and time again there are no grammar police on this board but they're here all the time just the same.
I COMPLETELY AGREE!
nice post!
Exactly. Completely agree.

I completely agree with what you say.
However, I think the companies have the upper hand with the fact that we are remote employees who never to rarely actually see each other. If there were ever some kind of group formed to work on these issues, I'd be the first to join....
I agree completely. He is nuts.
But what did I miss with Johnny Depp???
I agree with you completely. It is our government that ALLOWS this
to happen though. My point exactly. Spend money overhauling the system. Make people accoutable for their actions. That opens up money for people who really need it. Also, people here that do not pay taxes and are not here legally, give them the boot.
I agree completely. Especially the line of
"if the company makes money"! I mean, gosh -- that's ridiculous.
I wouldn't stand for it.
Completely agree, Jess.
I could not have said it better myself.
Bravo! I completely agree.

Completely agree...you have to do what works for your family.
I wish you the best of luck, and keep us updated! :)
I completely agree. I don't care how long it's been a 'tradition'.
It's pure senseless slaughter in the purest form. Maybe they should have "running of the Spaniards" and see how they like it! 
I completely agree. Working alone is so much better than dealing with all that stuff.

Agree completely. I have seen some god-awful things in reports.
Things that are guessed at and sometimes even legitimately looked up and searched for, unfortunately not finding the correct word. I told an MT once, "You can't just type that this patient is on that drug just because it is for the same symptoms. You have to type what the doctor is saying." I couldn't believe it. I have seen some stuff, let me tell you, and 38 cms is the least of it. I had a supervisor ask me once if I was "sure" that ostial was a term used in a cardiac cath and that "osteal" referred to bone. DUH! If I wasn't sure we wouldn't be having this conversation! Then they get clerks to listen. Puuhlease! I'm not even QA and I scratch my head and wonder why people like that are in this business if they aren't in it to do a first-class job. Once I had a team leader route me a report that she had started because she said her "head was stuffy " and she couldn't hear." I couldn't believe the report when I looked at it. Obviously nothing looked up, not even spell checked. My 15-yo could have done a FAR better job. Nobody cares. They are just in it because they think they can still make the "easy money." It's not bad money, but it's not like it used to be. And management thinks we can all be so easily replaced by whoever steps off the bus next. It's very disheartening to me.
I completely agree with the advice below. Without your books, Google.
Just be sure that the entries you find are from a verifiable source; you can also access Dorland's at the Merck website (google Dorland Merck and then add to favs).
I travel frequently and have found MT an easily-adaptable job for this. You'll want to get very used to setting up and taking down your computer quickly, as well as making sure you have the correct cords, etc. Seems like a "duh" thing, but... :)
If you have money and inclination, you might purchase a couple of your most frequently-used Stedman's on CD-ROM and install before you leave on your trip. I have the equipment words, surgery words, and emergency medicine words on CD-ROM that I use without having to have the physical books handy.
Enjoy your trip!
Agree completely.....money making scheme....

well, he LOOKS 68, sexy? to each her own.......lol

Definitely sexy!

I agree with the other posters that I found them to be a waste of time ...
I sent them a resume with over 20 years of acute care experience and they didn't even extend me the professional courtesy of acknowledging that they received it.
The archives yield posts by other MTs stating more disappointment with them after making contact than favorable results.
I agree... I just found it funny on that account that the 3 worst where in the same field...nm

Not OP, but Bill Clinton is STILL sexy,
and unlike Bush, very intelligent!!
How about a pair of her sexy underwear, SM
along with something that reminds him of home, something they can't get like chocolate. Just a silly idea.
I find House to be asexual. Not sexy AT

Exploiting your daughter as a sex object and calling yourself clergy is sexy?

No.. breath the same air you say!

Don't hold your breath
Never has for anyone I know anyway (myself included)
I'm holding my breath!
I want Taylor to win so badly!!!! He even looked adorable in that awful jacket he had on for his first song. Can't wait to hear his last song--on the edge of my seat. Breathe, breathe, breathe. I think I may hyperventilate!
Take a deep breath
and go in and be completely honest about the situation. Perhaps asking your boss for a little help with a note about how important you are on the job, blah, blah, might help if possible. I don't think all is lost - a jurist who is so worried about work that she/he cannot concentrate on the matter at hand is not really helpful to the system. If you get to the place where you are questioned, you may be asked if there is anything that would influence how you might interpret the case, or some other question that may open the door for an honest statement about the situation. Also, if there is a good reason (other than plain old procrastination) why you did not respond to the JD notice earlier, you should absolutely pursue this avenue as well. Good luck.
Again...you are a breath of fresh air
A breath of fresh air. Thank you.
Now, no more odors from the mushroom house, please.
Take a deep breath
An apology would be nice, but for now, isn't it obvious (and enough) that she knows she messed up? You know it, she knows it, she knows you know it, & you know she knows it.
You may never get a flat-out apology, but who cares? She did the next best thing, considering she was probably pretty embarrassed. Not everyone is able to articulate remorse at the same moment they are feeling humiliated. Maybe later, or not. Move on.
Breath of fresh air?
Working under these circumstances will not give you time to breathe!
You probably shouldn't waste your breath
You are so right.
How one finds themselves in a desperate situation like this is irrelevant.
I just can't help but think people who have the mentality of the poster to whom you responded are the same who claim to be Christians and Right-To-Lifers. I guess you only have the right to live if you're in the womb and not a sinner.
These people were totally disregarded as human. Make your bed mentality, have versus have not mentality, and as the poster below said, plantation mentality.
Yes, he was out of breath - could hardly get words out - it was disgusting
