I totally agree...how old are we to call other people stupid???
Give me a break...we do not go to school for countless number of years and just because we have to correct a doctor's spelling on certain things, doesn't mean we are smarter than they are...give me a break...if you were expecting to making 75,000 in this field you made the wrong career decision...how about a little bit of respect for a fellow MT...
oh sorry grammar police...but you did call people stupid..
that was not taken out of context
so many people was wishy-washy nowadays...love to see people make
a stand for what they believe in...
it is kind of wierd those statements have to be made in the first place but guess we are an ever-transitioning country and are still young. so many different beliefs yet not much tolerance.
I found your post respectful, and right on as to how you feel. it does not seem that difficult to sift through to read and respond to messages someone might not care for...
People either love it or hate it. I personally love it
but I know a lot of people say you cannot make any money on it and will not work on it. I do okay. I'm obviously not getting rich but I am making a living. I found it easier than Dictaphone and faster such in downloading and uploading job and you only have to log on one system and not like Dictaphone where you have to log onto the VPN and then log onto the program. It's always worth a try, but yes, the biggest complaint I hear is that no one can make a living and the cpl isn't that great.
People who use them love them. sm
The learning curve is wicked (I hear 2 weeks). I opted for the Maxim instead. I hear the contoured is great for those with RSI.
I love people like you
Thank you for not turning around and taking him right back. He's a very, very lucky dog. I wish I could rescue a pound puppy as well but husband says no. We've rescued too many cats over the years, and right now still have 4. We had 7 at one point but lost 2 to old age and one to a heart attack at the age of 8, all in the last 2 years. If we didn't have 4 middle to old age cats in the home, I'd be at the shelter right now. I love knowing that there are people like you out there. 
I love it when people say to me...... sm
Oh you work at home, your so lucky to have such an EASY job, especially when you can take off any time and work anytime.
Easy! Gimme a break! Easy!
This job some days is not easy! Especially when you have doctors who eat, burp, belch, mumble, or just plain and simple cannot speak, yacking in your ears all day long!
I'd like to slap a few of my friends who think this "job" is so easy.
I don't refer to it as a job either - I had a friend tell me along time ago, being an MT is not a job, its a way of life.
Oh, and for taking off and working whenever I want - hmmmmm - when does that happen! I work a schedule just like someone working in an office.
Okay - I had to vent! I feel better now!! LOL!!!
Ah, I'm a shy only child too, but I love being around other people. Keeps

I think I understand, now if people love VR
they either are lying, are management or newbies right? Seems like the chickens have come home to roost. You are talking about folks who don’t hate their jobs. Let me think about this. I did not see any encouragement about people last week trying to tell about working on VR, only you are a plant, management, lying, and on and on.
Why don't people practice peace and love,just
zz
But the secret is most people love oncology.
I'm not sure why, but it is more interesting than most specialties and not usually the downer you'd expect. I think it's just the terminology and (in my experience) very smart, decent dictators. Even the ESLs are understandable because the terms are so long. Four syllables to pronounce means 4 clues, LOL.
I love the way everyone things VR people are the slow ones
I type about 140 wpm and averaged on straight typing over 2000 lines per day. The hospital was outsourced and VR took over. I love VR and why do you assume that only slow typists like? I love it, our system is not crap and now I average above 500 or more lines per hour. Don’t know where people get off talking about the slow ones. You are assuming.
Stupid is as stupid does, says Forrest...

I love to see people exercise their minds (and their rights)...will check it out...
Thank you, for sharing...
After all, if no one would have stood up years ago, we would still be called the 'typing pool' and making probably $7/hour, AND answering phones, filing, etc.
AAMT did have a huge role in that happening, but I have not seen them do anything for the American MT in a very long time.
According to the Advance Health mag (which is turning into a 'rag' in my opinion), their latest article is how MTs with disabilities are now being trained in INDIA...and elsewhere overseas, and just how wonderful and joyous that all is - !?#@$#@
Sisters, it is TIME we do something and take a stand.
Why do so many people LOVE operative notes? I see posts about it all the time...
how they make good money on them, they could do them all day, feel cheated when they don't get them? I have been doing this for years and years and still kind of groan when I see them come up on my screen. Fill me on the secrets and maybe I won't whine so much when I do them. Thanks gal!
Good for you, I love people who rescue homeless pets. I take in cats myself

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.
STUPID,STUPID
G*D is this the pits or what? Sure I got in...finally, but like others, I can't set up files for my various accounts, it's a stupid decision and HEY,if they did it to prevent junk mail..guess what Frank...didn't work, got 5 junk mails already today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
stupid
maybe if we didn't have to spend so much time and money in other countries fighting their causes, we could spend our time and money on global warming issues.
You really are stupid.
You think that you all have the same opinion of Medquist and no one could possibly like them. How insane is this? Who is agreeing with themself? Obviously, there is someone else here who agrees with me and isn't afraid to say so. What I have to say is the only loser here is you, so lose about 50 pounds and come back later.
Now that IS stupid. :D nm

stupid
Oh really? Stop being so politically correct and tripping over yourself with apologies when you are speaking to or addressing the subject of someone that isn't like you. Always with the apologies, always with the fretting of not to hurt their precious feelings! THAT'S your problem, right there. Stupid is as stupid does, Becky. (Could Samtel tell me who that quote was from? hmmmm?) Don't be so quick to jump to the "defense" of someone encroaching on OUR jobs, who by the way is also someone who probably does not want or need your defense, and is doing quite a nice job of showing his STUPIDITY by his postings on this board anyway. It's like nails on a chalkboard tho when I see comments like yours rising to defent these jerks just for the sake of POLITICAL CORRECTNESS. Enough!
stupid
man, lady, you got major anger issues! i'm going with "anon" because i don't want you coming to my house with a shotgun or somethin!
stupid is as stupid does
  His meatloaf ain't quite cooked.
Some of us cannot believe just how stupid.....sm
these people are that Mr. Leno interviews....COLLEGE kids no less....they know so little, it's incredible.......they tell you the name of their schools and then they answer any of his questions incorrectly...and some of them are the simplest of questions.....
I may be stupid...
but what ARE you talking about??? How exactly DOES he say thank you in a thread that is so irksome to you?? Chosen few?? I would really like you to enlighten all of us dummies who have no earthly idea what the heck you are talking about! 
Sorry for the stupid
question, but what is EMR?
Just how stupid do they think I am. I just
got an E-mail from Chase - the credit card company. I do have a credit card with them that is paid in full and I'm fixing to cancel. Anyway the e-mail was addressed to valued customer, which should have been the first clue. It was offering to credit my account $20.00 for answering 6 questions about their supposed new and improved website. At the end of the questions they wanted my ID, password, account #, etc. Now you'd think they know this information if I had an account with them - LOL. Of course I didn't fall for it, though I'm sure there will be many who will.
They think we are stupid
In biz anything that is paid is cost LOL what about the billing cycle revenue and legal protection transcriptionists provide. They fail to mention that everything is cost from the nursing salaries to the paper cups in the cafeteria.
What a joke and sad attempt to put the blame for their creepy ways on the big bad administrators and insurance companies.
Yeah lets support them so they can reduce wages even more with the black character line bs.
If they were devoted to MTs, apart from patient care & safety they would be advocating for us by emphasizing to hosptials admins and risk management and insurance companies about the legal protection that error free accurate reports provide. They would be emphasizing the value of what we are offer/our product instead of working against us.
I am stupid, but
I am not sure what you mean, can you "draw me a picture"?
I don't know, but that is stupid! sm
She needs to get a life!
I was stupid enough to take a job QA job...
making 3 cents per line. I thought it would be just filling in blanks so it would be okay and I was tired of typing. Well they wanted me to do 100% QA for 3 cpl! The MT's work that I was QAing were making 3cpl for VR editing. So basically, I'm making the same thing as them, expect I'm having to correct their work, provide them feedback, field emails from the MT's all day answering questions from the feedback that I gave and all for 3cpl. So basically, I was making less than the the MT's. I told my boss I needed a raise or I would just go back to being an MT b/c I could make more money doing that. She wouldn't give me one. Even after I told her that it took me 6 hours to get to 1000 lines in QA one day b/c of all the terrible MT's she hired and bad reports I was correcting. So what's that $30? I made way less than minimum wage! She didn't even respond to me.
I see job ad's here ALL the time from TTD saying they are paying 3cpl for QA. I emailed them to see if it was 100% QA and she said yes. Unbelievable.
It really makes me sick how MT's are so taken advantage of and so underpaid.
I would say on average, an MT would edit 300 lines an hour. That's decent. I would be offended if someone offered me 1 or 2 cpl for VR. Do the math. 3 cpl is too low IMO.
No stupid questions
There are never any stupid or embarrassing questions around here. I've found people are very willing to help. That's why I love this board.
stupid statement
That's a very stupid statement. You evidently don't work on the kinds of accounts I do. I send blanks that QA can't get, either. There are various things that affect a report and require blanks besides a dictator's accent.
But maybe she does not like watching MTs look stupid
ranting about something that isn't even true? I know I don't.
I know, it's a stupid idea, but...sm
Why can't the cruise ships come in and get these people? I know there was a port in the area, so the cruise ships have got to be somewhere nearby. They could let everyone use the facilities, rest, relax.
I know, it's probably about the expense and loss of income to the cruiselines, but why not? These people are going through so much.
I know other ships are coming, but maybe the cruiselines could send their ships just until the other ships come.
Did u get the stupid ph call
And you ask, what is it about?
I don't know.
And you ask, why don't you know?
I don't know.
And you say well it probably doesn't apply to me, right?
I don't know.
And you say "I threw away the letter because I'm SE and the letter didn't mention SE. So why am I getting a package? "
I don't know.
And finally you say, well is it specifically to me?
yes.
Then you wonder, if I'm a SE, why are they sending me SPECIFICALLY anything AT ALL?
Who are you calling stupid?
Well, if they are soooo stupid, explain how they are the largest transcription company in the US?
Perhaps you know something about the packet that we don't, because in case you didn't know this - NO ONE GOT THEIR PACKET YET! DUH - Talk about stupid - look in the mirror.
How do YOU know so much, huh?
PS - While looking in the mirror, go brush those yellow-stained teeth, comb that nasty wirey, brillo-pad hair, squeeze some of this nasty whiteheads, and get a face lift - because ain't no one want someone like you working for them!
Just S.O.S. (Stuck on Stupid!)

...and besides, who needs their stupid credentials?
All I did was line AAMT's coffers. I no longer belong to AAMT nor do I keep up my CMT credential. Has not hurt one bit professionally. Please point out something positive that AAMT has accomplished for our profession. All CMT does is provide AAMT with more money for their dog and pony show. AAMT? No thanks! We need someone who REALLY represents the day-to-day MT, not a select few.
oh what a stupid thing to say ...
that this person works from home for that reason !! It is management's fault that boundaries are not set. But know what I think? Management doesn't give a HOOT about the IC or the employee - as long as the work is getting done. If the choice was angry typists vs an angry account - guess who loses. WE DO.
Not everybody is so mindlessly stupid that they have to
act out the things they see and hear. I listened to all sorts of music growing up, but I've never been a drunk, promiscuous or druggie. My parents gave me credit that I brains enough to make the right choices, and I proved to them that I did. My kids all have good heads on their shoulders, too. You can't lock them in a windowless cage to shield them from the world. Actually, that is considered child abuse and irresponsible parenting.
What a stupid question.
What do you think she's going to do? Sit back and let a bunch of MT's who could give a flip about the quality of their work let an account who pays thousands and thousands of dollars per year go bye-bye out the window?
Personally, I hope she lowers the boom because any MT who doesn't have a spell checker shouldn't be working and never should have been hired, and any MT who refuses to use a spell checker should be canned immediately, if not sooner, on the spot.
I'd like to see you bust your butt to do all the things involved to secure a good account and then see how YOU react when some/a bunch of airheads do lousy work, with the end result being all your hard work, expense, and time away from your family that you put into securing that account fly right out the window. You'd be L*I*V*I*D!
stupid emails!
Does anybody know how to keep these ridiculous emails from coming? It seems like every day I'm getting more and more of them, you know, the ones that have absolute nonsense in the subject line? I don't read them, just delete them, but I must get 15 or 20 a day and I'm sick and tired of it. I feel like my privacy is being invaded, and it is just junk filling up my mailbox.
stupid email
That sounds great. But does SpamBayes filter any email that you DO want to receive? Thanks.
stupid emails
Okay then, again, thanks very much for your help. I am going to check this out because at this point I'll try anything to stop the insanity! It's just crazy the stupid, stupid stuff people send via email to clog up the mailboxes. I wonder, does anybody even READ this junk? And better yet, does anybody ever BUY stuff from this spam email? Sorry, I just get carried away with this subject; it's a true thorn in my side. Again, I thank you.
Absolutely, not stupid at all. nm

Stupid question
Ok, so I know this may sound like a completely dumb question. What does the SO stand for? Sorry.
RE: Stupid question
Service Owner or Service Organization
This may be a stupid question but....
what is a troll? I keep hearing things about troll alerts and hoping someone isn't a troll and the only troll that I know of...I used to collect when I was in junior high with the different outfits and the different colored hair that stood up. LOL.
Sorry, but that was just stupid, looool
