You cant have a 1 hour TAT and MTs have work. They are completely nuts. We are being used and abused
:
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 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 agree. I found him to be very sexy. He'd always take my breath completely away!
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....

This may seem nuts, but....
My kids just left for school, one is a senior in high school and one is starting full-day first grade. My husband left for work and I am so sad and loney and its only 8:29 a.m. This is the first time I have been alone for more than an hour or 2 in years. I guess I should work unfettered, which will be weird. Even the dog is wondering where everyone is??? 
That is who said it. They are definitely nuts!LOL!
nm
Also not nuts about it sm
slow, not user friendly.
Going nuts
 I just saw my original post. I am not going crazy just tired with learning all this stuff regarding digital and trying to land this account. Please forgive me!!
ASR is NUTS - LOL!
The patient recently returned back to her vulvar area, where she and her husband live with their 3 children and 2 dogs.
Must be kinda crowded in there....
OH COME ON NOW THIS IS GETTING NUTS!!!
Am I nuts
for hoping to get 1400 lines per day?
I don't think they are nuts, per se, but rather (sm)
so high all the time, dont know any difference.
btw: the inventor of LSD expired yesterday at age 102. he musta been doing something right. lmao
I know. It is nuts. It's even
more nuts to read MTs on here defending poor little Indian MTs trying to steal our jobs. Maybe they'll see things differently when they get pink-slipped.
She is NOT nuts, she has a business to run.

What drives me nuts is
EVOO. I do not like that at all.
She says EVOO then says extra virgin olive oil????
Are nuts okay on induction???????nm
nm
They're nuts!!... you were right...sm
only way it would be "aggressively" is if he said, "pursue treatment more aggressively."
What? Are you nuts? I never tried to make
Perhaps I am a little more observant than most, but I thought that I was friendly enough.
Seems as though someone else is feeling hostile today though. Get up on the wrong side of the bed, perhaps? LOL :)
I think if it is THAT important to you, then you should read the thread again and you may be able to see who tried to make someone feel *badly* here.
I do hope you feel better soon.
P.S. I am unable to use the bad S word that you used in your post. MTStars says it is a bad word and prompts me to edit my post.
nuts? Are you suggesting we need have

THIS DRIVES ME NUTS
why are we so concerned with sending work overseas??
This nation is so concerned with fixing problems everywhere else in the world and not focusing on our own!
Why do we constantly send work, money, military, etc etc etc overseas when we have homeless, starving, children (and adults!) here in the USA? We have students who can't go to college because they can't afford it and the federal government won't help because they are not a minority! We have people who can't get jobs for the same reason!
How about this?! Why don't we stop looking at race, background, and gender, and start looking at qualifications? Why don't we stop judging what people need based on color?
But i'm getting off track...
This country has a serious issue, and it starts with companies like AHDI. Rather than lobby for "a standard" they need to lobby for our work staying right here. When there is such an over abundance of work here that no one goes hungry and everyone has a roof over there head, then we can send it over there. I know there is such a romanticism about helping foreign areas. We see it everywhere. Celebrities adopting foreign children, missionaries wanting to go to China but not bothering to minister to people in their own back yard. Yes, we need to help, but we need to take care of our own also!
There is something wrong when a basketball player makes millions and a teacher barely can get by on his or her salary. What kind of country have we become? We place more value on entertainment then on morals and education.
When will it stop? We are going to dig ourselves in to such a hole and we are going to pull down all of our greed, immorality, conceitedness and every other vile thing we have become down on our heads!
I'm sorry I just don't understand what is so great about our country anymore. It seems we've got it pretty twisted. It won't be long before we start to reap what we sow. And I promise you, in the healthcare world, if all of our transcription goes overseas, and the documentation process becomes sub par, next thing you know the lawsuits will quadruple, which will raise the cost of healthcare, which will mean absolutely no healthcare for some, and so on and so on.
But hey, all in pursuit of the almighty dollar, right???
Thank you, I was going nuts, that helps.

How about nuts? Almonds are healthy. (nm)

I know this is MDI-MD. Couldn't take the e-mails - she is NUTS! nm

Thought I'd heard/done it all. This is nuts!! sm
Doc comes on and I thought he had a poor connection or something because his voice is shaking... he says, "Sorry, I'm jogging and I'm a little out of breath..."
JOGGING WHILE DICTATING!!!???
Needless to say, I'm not enjoying this dictation.
Long report too... he's a cardiologist... lol... maybe explains the jogging...
Okay, just had to vent. Back to work.
