In Reply to: VR - I was thrown in but why waste your time

I, like you, produce 2500 to 3000 lines per day and CAN pay my bills on it; however, I do make way above the average cpl on EditScript.

I absolutely love them, I fly through them
and miss them when all I get are Discharge Summaries all day long. Once you get your docs down, they are a piece of cake.
I absolutely love when
Someone walks in or another phone rings and they put me on hold and I have to listen to elevator music for 5 minutes.
I absolutely LOVE Directv!!!
The picture is clearer than cable. The only time the picture may go out is if there is a severe thunderstorm and even then mine will usually work. I will never switch back to regular cable. We have the HDTV TIVO box and we absolutely love it. If you can get that, do. TIVO is awesome!!!
I absolutely love pediatrics....but then

I absolutely LOVE Quicken....
Just started using it this year, and don't know why I never used it before. Now I won't live without it. javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');

I absolutely love it and have for 25+ years.
I honestly believe this is a job you either love or hate.
I absolutely love ER/ED reports.
When I worked at a hospital, we had a rotating schedule on who did those and x-rays. Like poster below, if you don't want them I will take them.
HAHAHA, Absolutely love that! nm

absolutely gorgeous and charming. love him.
so glad he got out of that ashley/jessica/joe family mess. nick was too smart and classy for that obscenely creepy family. Loved seeing Nick cheer on Drew in the audience. Sweet brothers. Love them both but Nick is way cuter.


I absolutely love mine...see message
I have health issues and this bed has been wonderful for me. My husband up until we got our sleep number bed was always up by 4-5 in the morning because of pain. He hasn't had any pain since. It was well worth the money for us.
Anybody have a digital camera they are absolutely in love with?
I'm looking to purchase one this weekend, preferably under $300, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.  The one I have now is cheap and you can't even see what you're aiming at, so I think a disposable camera is an improvement, but was hoping to get some "expert" advice!!  Thanks!
Been editing VR for about 5 years now and absolutely love it!
I also have CTS - it has done wonders not having to transcribe my fingers to the bone.

Yes, you can make awesome money editing VR; however, it depends on the platform and line rate. Personally, I have been workin on eScription's EditScript for the past 5 years and absolutely love it and can't say enough about it.

You can tend to get a little bored from time to time, just like with anything else. When that happens, I take frequent breaks to rejuvenate.

Good luck. I hope it works out for you.
Absolutely - love it. Use eScription's EditScript.
Great pay, awesome platform, and wonderful account.

Like everything else in life, you take the good with the bad. Get bored sometimes, but I make a great line rate and work for a great hospital. I will take the boredom - really can't complain.

From what I have heard, you either love VR or hate it. Personally, I love it, but I think it really does depend on the VR platform. eScription is the best VR platform out there in my humble opinion. I have worked on several and some were just downright terrible.


Yes and absolutely worth it. I love to work
outside when weather permits.  I don't do it every day because hooking up and unhooking and having to carry everything gets to be a pain, but I do it on occasion.  I also like to travel, which is why I got a laptop to start with.   It allows me to work in the car or a couple of hours a day wherever we go so there is still some income, but I also have time to enjoy time with family.  
absolutely love discharge summaries nm

I've got a DX6490, 4 megapixel and absolutely love it. sm
It is so easy to use. Daughter is in the High School band, so we've taken a ton of pictures of the band kids over the past 2 years, always get compliments. So good that the band teacher just bought a Kodak for himself. Very easy to e-mail, print pictures. I have great action shots with mine. Just one tip, if you're planning on using the night-time feature, be sure to get a tripod. You really need to be steady for that. You will be very happy.
I love chihuahuas - they're absolutely adorable!

There is also a 30 day free trial and I absolutely love this expander!

Absolutely would. Love my job/career! Make great money. nm

I absolutely love Pogo, although not much time to play these days...nm

absolutely agree
They would never be successful in getting that legislation passed. There are more MTs who could probably pass their exam but won't take it because of the ridiculous cost. Plus, doesn't one lose their "CMT" status if they don't pay their AAMT dues? More ridiculous drek. I know of more former coworkers as MTs who have been in the career for 30+ years and NEVER considered becoming certified. A stupid cliqish group.
Absolutely agree with you....S/M
Hope an entire new crew comes in or they cancel the show as it's gone downhill..........
I absolutely agree with you 110%! sm
My son is applying for PreMed, has 4.0 GPA, passed all AP exams with a 4, but the colleges will take "other than Caucasian" with lower GPA and lower test scores, etc. Discrimination is rampant in USA of White Americans. It is nauseating to say the least!

You tell me - can we help it if we are smarter, work harder, etc? It is not our fault that we were born "white." Can't believe it has come to this in America!
RE: I absolutely agree with you 110%! sm
When did MT Stars become a haven for overt racial overtones? Sad!Sad!Sad!
Absolutely agree!
I have always found it important to take that break, eat, and either read, meditate or do some resting yoga poses to stretch stiff muscles. Makes the afternoon go 10x better.
Agree absolutely! It's
That's correct . . . this process is necessitated by HIPAA. It's related to protecting patient information.

If you think this is some employer control thing, you're dead wrong. It's a security and privacy requirement mandated by federal regulation, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.

Do you know what the fine is for disclosure of personally-identifiable patient information? If not, you're not keeping up with the industry.

Would you want YOUR name and insurance information leaked out? So someone could use it? Do you know what medical identity theft is? If not, you're not keeping up.

If you do not know about this, then your employers are not providing adequate employee training. If you're self-employed, then you are not providing yourself with enough continuing education.

This is a serious issue. It has nothing to do with trying to hamper productivity, pay you less, or interfere with your life. It is, in fact, one reason the largest user of MT services in the country just banned offshoring and are looking to return to in-house MTs only.

This is a non-problem. If you want to check your email and do research on the net, just do your part to protect your clients' patients and get a laptop.


I absolutely love GearPlayer 4, the newest version. It plays all files
and combine that with a good stereo headset, you'll be all set to go.  I am able to hear so well all sorts of dictators.  I cannot, and will not, work with Express Scribe, and I have found no other player as superior as GearPlayer.  They have a free download you can trial it for 5 days and see if works in your platform/voice files, found at transcriptiongear.com 
I absolutely agree with the recruiter above - sm
I worked with a woman who claimed to be a medical transcription instructor, 20 years experience, so on and so on. Get this - she could not understand a simple line of "the lungs are clear to auscultation." I AM NOT LYING ON THIS!!

I cannot tell you THE COUNTLESS NUMBER of transcriptionists that get an attitude about needing to take a transcription test when they have X-number of years experience, but you know what?? I would say a little less than half of the "prima donnas" that had this attitude, could not transcribe for beans!! I worked with a company that had travelers that sent out transcriptionists that had the prima donna attitudes, and again, their transcription could KILL A PATIENT!!! They didn't care. They were doing it for the line count to make the money. One woman if made up crap just to get extra lines.


I absolutely agree, Endiqua. sm

I agree. I'm not absolutely convinced that he did it (sm)
And obviously the authorities feel the same. I hope it is, for the family's sake. They don't need any more pain.
Absolutely agree 100% with your post!

Absolutely agree with Olympus ws-110
My local doctor uses that and he sounds crystal clear. I love it. It comes apart in the middle and has a USB connection. He plugs it into his computer, downloads the dictations, sends them to me. Easy.
Absolutely agree! Word of mouth and networking are key!! nm

I absolutely agree with you. You've made it grammatically correct
hope this all comes through.

Your change is much better than the one suggested below which totally changes the sentence and would not be correct in my opinion.
absolutely agree; they needed a good dose of Exlax. where was the local talent.

Thank you!!! I agree, I love MT.

I agree! Love my tax man!! nm

Agree with you - love Firefox

I agree; I love MDI-FL. I am a slow right now too, but
this is a really slow week. I am happy because I worked a ton of hours all year. My only problem with them was "too much work!!"
Love the flexibility, can't say I like the job. Anyone agree? sm

I'm an MT of about 10 years, 6 of which have been at home, and now I'm just trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life.    I love the flexibility of being an MT (at home) but really can't say I enjoy being an MT at all.  I like working on my own and all that, but listening to awful doctors day after day just isn't too much fun!  lol   I'm forever contemplating going back to school (have 2 years of university credits from 15 years ago) but then I'd have to go outside the house to do whatever, and after the gazillion costs that go with that, probably would make less money (not that I make much now, mind you!).  Does anyone else feel the same way?  In my ideal world, when both kids are in school (I've got 2, ages 6 and 4), I'd go back to school full time to be a teacher or something.  The reality, however, is that we can't afford it.  Even if we could, would I really want to be a teacher and be stuck to a schedule every day (I'm an IC now and can work whenever, just 24 hour TAT)?


So, that's about all I needed to say.  Just very curious on what others feel about "long-term" career goals, kwim?  Thanks for your thoughts! 


Yep, I agree. I love his voice. :-) nm

Agree! Love Hiliary! nm

I agree...I love being an MT and the flexibility it gives me...

I agree with the above poster, love VR
I have done for some years now and never want to totally straight transcribe again. I have no idea about working for page pay, never did it that way so cannot state any ideas on that. VR certainly is not as taxing on me as in the past. I can make (do a little straight still) on part time work around $500 a week.
I agree. Love Canadians, but we need our work here.
What about their socialized med system? No work for them there? Nope, I love Canadians as our neighbors, but I agree we need to keep it in the USA.
Yes I agree! Would love to know of similar sites also...anyone?
I have the WildCam, pretty neat, but I like the interaction with this one! Very unique!
