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.
You're absolutely right. SM
ANYONE can click on a name where it says "reply by email" and send you an email. They DON'T have your address, though, UNLESS YOU REPLY.

Next time you see someone with a blue name in the Posted By, try emailing them just so you can see what it looks like.
You're absolutely right.
I have to laugh at all those "job fairs" they're holding in the cities that took the evacuees. After they've hired the few lawabiding citizens who, for whatever reason, had no other way to get out, they'll find that AL that's left are the parasites who've never had a job in their lives and don't want one now. They just want the rest of us to keep paying and paying and paying so they can sit on their worthless butts with their hands out. They'll trash any place they're given to live, no matter how nice, and they'll complain about everything that's done for them. For that kind, nothing is ever enough. They just want to take and take and destroy anything someone else has worked hard to build up. No one needs them.
You're absolutely right....sm
The rat race is NOT worth it.

Lots of people don't even end up in the career for which they went to college.

My dad, the above mentioned former K-mart manager, REALLY DID make great money. We had everything we needed and most of what we wanted but he put a lot of hours in to do so.

In retrospect, we could have done without half of what we had and would have been just fine. My dad missed out on a lot while we were growing up.

People are moving into larger and larger homes even tho' they may have small families. It just seems like families are moving away from each other. My house growing up was nice but was less than 1800 sq ft. and there were five of us living there. We ate together, we watched TV together, we played board games together. I never felt like our house was too small.

It's all about priorities.
You're absolutely right and I'm already gone
If anyone says they don't see it coming they'll have no one to blame but themselves when they're unemployed and untrained to do anything but a dead skill.
You're absolutely right......
These are horrible natural disasters no one asked fornor deserved. But remember, it was the mayor of New Orleans who got on national TV and called the race card, insinuating that because so many of the people stranded were black, that the govt didn't care.

When the leader of a city starts playing that card, then those who allow others to do all their thinking for them, jump on that bandwagon.
you're absolutely right

We do ourselves no favor when we act irresponsibly.  One disadvantage of working via Internet and interviewing over the phone is not being able to look the other party in the eye and size them up as they speak.  Body language says so much more than mere words. 


Yes, sm, you're absolutely right!...
There are plenty of over-educated people in other countries more than willing to do work at what is "considered a good wage in their own country".

Yes, we all have to make ourselves invaluable to our employers, be it learning a new language, getting further education, whatever to make ourselves competitive. But now we also have to make ourselves economically competitive here where the salary is NOT "considered a good wage".

Yes, unions are dissolving left and right. Rightly so, they became greedy and forced the companies out of business. No one has decided to "unionize". We're all discussing options of addressing the problem. Personally I find that having active duty military personnel medical files overseas appalling!

Yes, we all have to compete now on a world wide scale. But, let's keep the scale balanced. If we here in the US have to follow HIPAA rules than those in other countries should be subject to the same laws and possible fines and prosecution. It is certainly difficult for a US Transcriptionist to compete with a transcriptionist from a country where $5,000 a year is considered a good salary. Yet that is what we're having to do.

So, yes, you are absolutely right. I concede entirely. But that doesn't mean I have to like it or accept it. I have the right to be heard and bring it to the attention of whomsoever I choose. And that is exactly what some of us are attempting to do by organizing ourselves to get a consensus of what we would like to have heard. No harm in that. It's my time. My right.
You're absolutely right.....let them see what they
xx
You're absolutely right
Like I've said in previous posts, my doctors are going to EMR next month and I've been trained on it. I'll still have a job. It's not going to be as extensive, but there are just some things that can't be put into the system unless then are dictated and actually typed by the transcriptionist. Also, the transcriptionists are in charge of faxing all reports, and that won't change either.
You're absolutely right
and I really didn't mean for my post to come off as judgmental.  I'm sorry if it did.  I absolutely get where you're coming from. 
4 chihuahuas - Sassy, Pixie, Lady, and Speedy, One cat - Calie.. sm for rest of zoo....
Bearded dragons are Lizzie and Eddie, Leopard geckoes are Sabu and Taabu. Cockatiel is Lutie. Never did name my pair of green iguanas. I have a large fish that is named Bully because he is a mean oscar and a turtle named Bubba, as he isn't the smartest turtle in the pond. LOL.
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
.
You're absolutely correct sm
I've had editors tell me that they love getting my reports with blanks because they know they can go directly to the blank and try to fill it in, they say some MTs they have to almost completely re-type the report which takes more time than typing it in the first place.  I know this to be true from my own editing.  I tried to work with the MTs if they could be salvaged.  If they still insisted on not doing their job, I did my job until they were relieved of their work duties.  :)
You're absolutely right. I shouldn't have said it that way. -nm

You're absolutely right....don't feel sorry

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.  
I have to agree. Absolutely prosper with it and love it! sm
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.


absolutely love discharge summaries nm

You're absolutely right that we are worth more, so when are you going to stop

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

You're absolutely correct - they always pull that card when they have nothing else

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

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

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 
You're absolutely right - I wouldn't recommend this profession to a young person either.
and no respect for it
He is adorable. sm
Beyonce had to be lip-synching though.  I just love Taylor. 
He sounds adorable!! nm

Yes. Agree. Adorable and addicting. nm

Aren't they adorable?! If my shih
tzu leaves any time soon (all dogs go to Heaven), I want a Lhasa or a pom:)
I think Kellie is adorable and charming. nm

You're not alone! Used to love this job
but it has become such a big hassle that I wonder if it is worth it... Just wanted to give you a big hug.....You're worth IT!  Please find some time for yourself somehow...life is just too short.... 
I think you're going to love it.
Hope the traffic isn't too bad; maybe with those hours it will be okay for you. I went out in the car yesterday and it was like I'd forgotten how to drive. Almost bumped a car that took his time to pull off into a driveway.

My SIL works as a secretary for a school and enjoys it.
And baby girls look adorable with earrings!!
