I have asked numerous times if people like the Amherst office but seems no one ever offers their
opinion about that office. Just transferred there and I am sure many other MTs on here work out of that office.
Have you heard this word on CNN? NO! It is an obscenity, and there are plenty of awful words SM
You can search and find just about anything in print if you look hard enough. No newscaster on CNN would utter this filth. Obscenities are not allowed on MT Stars and this word is obscene. Your example is flawed. I have no problem hearing and typing words related to the human body when spoken by a physician to document a patient's care. That is a far cry from this nasty little "headline." NO ONE should defend this racial epithet and no one needs this little lesson in netiquette. Shame on you and OP if you are not the same one.
I think we could all stand to learn from the Amish and how they are handling this awful, awful sm
tragedy. I read on a website 2 seperate stories of how the Amish are dealing with this. Yes, they are sad, but they believe that they will (and I do too) see their children again and that they are in a much better place. They have reached out to the gunman's family, visiting the killer's wife and children and offering them forgiveness. I also read that they want to "help" the gunman's family monetarily through a Mennonite fund if they need help! The article contrasted the Amish to other school tragedies where lawsuits were filed and death threats were made against the family members of the ones who committed the murders!
They are such graceful, loving people. Different, yet. Weird? In a way. But you have to admit that without electricity or vehicles to get them around, they obviously live a faith that most of us could only wish we had inside of us. I am a Christian. If a madman entered my children's school and killed them, could I offer forgiveness to their family? I doubt it. Could I weep in peace and silence knowing that I would someday see my children again? Maybe. But I would be a wretched mess and everyone around me would KNOW my suffering.
I am learning a great deal about the Amish through this. I used to live near PA where seeing the Amish was a regular occurrence. I thought they were so crazy and weird.....But, it was my own ignorance that made those judgments. They are wonderful, Godly people. I admire them more and more as I continue to read how they are dealing with this awful event!
I have heard many people say that, which is the
main reason I haven't purchased it.
I have heard that people don't realize how...
socially demanding those kinds of birds can be. They NEED attention, they CRAVE attention, and they get mad if they are ignored. They can be very demanding. I would research that aspect before diving in. Too many people have to get rid of parrots because they can't handle them.
Have heard hosp.pay people to sit with pts.

I agree because I have heard this from many people - sm
Husband as the doctor and wife as the office manager is often a recipe for disaster. I have seen it work a time or two, but more often than not they have this arrangement to save a few bucks and the wife has NO idea about office management, but guess what? Hubby/doc is too busy seeing patients and she runs the show, with often disastrous results. I say run while you can...PLENTY of places looking for qualified medical help with fewer hassles too most likely.
Heard on the news last week about people leaving
the country for medical care/dental treatment. A man went to some Eastern European country for dental care. Even with airfare it was cheaper there and that many other countries, including India, were starting to market themselves as a place for affordable healthcare for foreigners.
I've heard people have to try a new food 10 times before they know for sure they won't like it
I heard that somewhere.
I had a SIL who actually SAT on her young children and force-fed them new foods if they refused them at the table. We were appalled, but weirdly, the kids often got up from the floor and happily ate the food they were just force-fed!
I have heard so many people rationalize cherrypicking and seen too many supervisors not deal with i
It's a scourge on this profession ... like the folks who gratefully accept absurdly dreadful line rates because -- "it's better than nothing"
It's why we're all making LESS than we did 10 years ago, 15 years ago ... made worse because that's even without adjusting for inflation ...
I heard they were not nice to work for. Knew people who have worked there and left.
This is secondhand information, but I trust the people that told me this.
I don't know! I've heard people live longer with a healthy sex life.

oh good grief. Haven't we heard enuf of this? Educated people are just
There are numerous ones.
Start with your ISP, may offer free storage space. Google for FTP storage or online storage and you'll get lots of hits. It's hard to decide for you.
I believe they got rid of the too numerous boards - sm
because it was getting totally ridiculous. There were boards for everything under the sun it seemed. Posts were being moved and locked because they should be on a different board. Many, including myself, thought it was getting to be a bit too much. So luckily they listened and trimmed it back down to something a bit more manageable.
I have seen numerous discussions regarding
AAMT on this site. ????
numerous discussions here
I have been following numerous threads here and I have a question. If many of the MTs here are dissatisfied with what is going on with the industry, then why do all of the MTs not stick together and demand what is deserved? I understand that we all must have an income because we all have bills due and mouths to feed; but, it would not take but a few days for all qualified MTs and Editors/QA to demand benefits and a bottom line cpl/hourly rate or whatever you want to call it. Kind of like a union. No company could exist, even with newbies or off-shore doing the work without the qualified MT backing all of this up. I am not looking to start a war here. I have just read on this board for quite some time about this same issue, but nobody seems to want to take action. I know for a fact that if ALL MTs would stick together here, the end result would be very favorable. It seems over the last number of years these companies are demanding the MT to do more work and have much more knowledge for much less money than they deserve. So, with that being said, why why why would you not demand your just pay? Again... I know for a fact that if ALL qualified MTs would stick together, they would have no choice but to pay a standarized fair scale in order to keep their doors open.
Are you in an area where there are numerous hospitals??
If so, maybe some of them have their own departments and you can get hired inhouse. That's what I finally had to do in order to get the pay and respect and steady work that I needed. I'm working less than full-time and making 30,000+. You may have to work in house and follow a set schedule, but at least you'll have a decent job.
There are numerous studies presently
taking place concerning this relatively new medication. Below is a single example of Fosamax prescribing from the "norm." If I were typing that report, I would type it verbatim and not flag/question the physician's dictation.
FOSAMAX DOSING
The prevention dose is 5 mg daily, the treatment dose is 10 mg daily. Alendronate should be continued indefinitely. Although discontinuation of the alendronate does not result in the rapid bone loss seen with HRT discontinuation, a gradual decline does occur, so some maintenance therapy should be utilized. The dosing may be modified once optimal bone mass is restored. One could then consider the 10 mg dose to the 5 mg prevention dose daily, or perhaps to 10 mg every other day. A once weekly dose of 70 mg or a twice-weekly dose of 35 mg is presently being evaluated as an alternative-dosing regimen but has not yet been approved. (Study results pending).

The slow versus fast talked about numerous times regarding VR
I don’t have any idea where this ridiculous statement started from. Think probably from the haters who are probably going to be put on VR and digging their heels in to not have to do. Rather than rates, which I think probably are about the same, 4 cents per line, you should ask who has the best platform and go for a company that perhaps does not have a zillion employees. Being slow, being newbie, etc. would just work against a good person for VR.

if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.
As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
I WASN'T GUESSING. I HEARD WHAT I HEARD VERY CLEARLY.
I don't even agree with what QA said, but they are QA. Question them, and your out the door.
Has anyone else had this awful
If so, any comfort care measures you'd be willing to share? I am really struggling today and don't want to take my OTC meds cause they knock me out. Any home remedies would be GREATLY appreciated.
i think she looks awful
Maybe it's because I never liked her, but she looks unhealthy since her surgery - like a balloon with air sucked out of it.
Isn't it Awful
Where do you live? Here in NY the heat index is 107. It was already sweltering at 8:00 this morning.
It is awful
I am not even sure how to work the speakerphone option because I did not receive a manual. I did press the transcribe button and at first the sound on the headset was very faint, now it is nonexistent. I had to transcribe with the handset up to my ear and neck crinked to the side. Could only work like that about 2 1/2 hours then had to stop, sound wasn't the greatest on the handset trying to use it to transcribe. DH is going to take it apart tomorrow to see if he can rewire it to external speakers...any other advice would be appreciated before he does that...that option scares me too.
Awful
I think it is awful that you were treated this way. I know how it feels to be treated as if I am no more important than the next best piece of equipment. The thing is, they did it because they could. This is a learning experience for all of us; whenever we make any agreements for extra help, then we must have solid written contracts to indicate the limitations. I wonder if it would also be a good idea to insert a clause into an original contract with the client (or for the next client) that indicates that you require a minimum of work before they go and hire additional help on the accoun?. Give them the out of "negotiable", but they will have to discuss any changes with you before adding more MTs to the account for which you have a binding contract.
I am not a lawyer, but this is my 2 cents.
thats awful
my sympathies...geez. if things usually come in 3's, then you're probably in for one more o)
but hang in there. when you're at the bottom, the only place to go is up! this'll help you even more appreciate all the good days!!
hope your son does okay...
They are both awful! nm

awful awful
I was with a company who chose that platform and after a year, I had to get another job. It never did work right. I was in management and it was kept from the MTs that it did not count lines right, if it counted them at all. It would not do the headers or footers that the MT did not get paid for when they had to do themselves. It was down more than up and when you called, seemed like there were only 2 people ever there and we got a lot of "I don't know." MTs would call in to get help and maybe 4 months later they would get a call back. I hated it and so did my people. There are many many better out there. Be sure to ask how long they have had it and if all the bugs are worked out.
Oh, how awful for you! sm
It is sad that they have to do that. Makes it 10 times harder on the patient. I hope you are okay - be strong, (((hugs)))
Until they cut it again, and MQ has an awful
ASR system that requires a lot of correcting. I don't think ASR should pay any less because it takes just as much time.
sounds awful
Sounds awful. That is how Food 4 Less and Safeway are out here in CA..Disgusting..Everything in boxes and dirty extremely dirty ailes..Just filthy stores..and the produce is awful..flies all around it..I prefer Stater Brothers and Albertsons as they have clean stores..the Wal-Mart near me is a beautiful five year old store, clean, nice employees, however, if it denigrates to what you say, I most certainly will shop elsewhere..Maybe Costco..Or even Smart and Final, which is a great store, just like Costco but you dont have to buy a membership.
It's awful. I'd never recommend it.

Wow! That is awful. My first download did take a
but NOTHING like what you experienced (maybe 3-5 minutes instead of almost immediately for me).
So it probably really depends on where you live, etc., and no good way to predict just how bad it would really be.
Were your ADT searches really bad too? Probably took me twice as long as usual, so pretty frustrating, but not totally unbearable. And the fact that the other reports were downloading in the background while I was working on the current one did make things go smoother than I had expected for the short period of time I lost my DSL and had to use dial-up.
Thanks I saw that - an awful lot of money

How awful for you! My heart goes out to you sm
I am now afraid of dogs not on a leash. I was walking my dogs not so long ago and we were attacked by a loose cannon and the owner was right there, laughing. I put up a much bigger fence and am afraid to walk my dogs anymore. So sorry to hear about your baby.
That's awful. I feel sorry for her.

I went to a reception like that once! It was awful! (s/m)
It was at a lovely place up on a hill. But we were having a heat wave, and it was about 104 degrees in the shade. There was a bar, but you had to PAY. But no water, juice or soft drinks were available. There never was ANY food! You could just hear all the rumbling tummies! When I finally felt I'd stayed long enough to have counted as having attended, I finally got up, announced to my table that I was making a McDonald's run, and did anyone want to go with me. I had a whole carload of hungry people, and we brought McDonald's takeout back to others at the reception. A tacky reception calls for a tacky hunger-abatement tactic! Hehe....
That's awful. They aren't like that
at all where I work. It doesn't sound like you are working for one of the highly recommended companies, are you?
That's just awful! I bet it was all unorganized
and full of long pauses, too.
Ridiculous to dictate that long on one report.
Really a nightmare. How awful.
xx
Yes, it is just awful. Someone did the same to me last year.
I don't pray in that sense either, but she needs all the help/energy/thoughts/prayers to whatever high power she can get! The company she worked for is Cbay Systems. Thank you for your response!
That's just awful. I too was without phone SM
service for five days after Katrina, but that was the only time it was out and it's been years and I live in South Florida where there are severe thunder storms. I would be mad as heck too. So sorry.
An awful week!
1. First I tried a new skin cream to "firm" up. My face turned cherry red, burned, and itched. Nothing helped. My skin now feels like sandpaper. 
2. The water pump went in the car.
3. My son was taken to the hospital and has developed a heart problem. He's only 38.
4. My phone-in dictation machine died today. Can't afford the high prices they're asking for another one. I only have 1 doctor and don't know what to do. Any ideas?
5. My husband is still not back to work.
Wish I could retire today!
GASP~ How awful! LOL

My goodness!!!!! that's just awful!
We have a group of radiologists that are in our hospital that read our reports. Gosh I can't believe that is happening! How crazy is that! I may end up having to change careers if my job isn't secure. I hate to do that because I have to work to pay the bills so I would be doing school and working full-time, and I have an 11-month old baby that I will hardly get to spend any time with, but I guess I gotta do what I gotta do.
Awful ding
Hi Dave,
If you figure out how to get rid of the awful ding, will you post on here and let us know how you did it?? It's driving me nuts....I HATE it but can't figure out how to get rid of it. Thanks.
