Male MTs
I have been an MT for over 20 years.  My hubby is unemployed and looking for new career options.  He is checking into the MT schools and even talked to an employer today that hires ouf of a certain school.  I have known very few men in this career field over the years, maybe 5 that I knew personally and counted as friends.  I asked my boss when I first got into MT why we didn't have more men in the office doing MT.  She said she thought maybe they just didn't know about it.  Well now I am talking to my friends, and I have heard some of their husbands are checking into it.  They like the idea of staying home to work and spending more time with their children.  The few men that I have known over the  years that did MT really enjoyed it as a career.  I think it would be nice to see more.
male MTs
Michael, Michael, Michael - careful now. I have 2 nieces married to "beauticians" who BTW, nowadays refer to themselves as "stylists," and I'm quite sure neither of them is gay.

People have stereotypes about others - period.

I've been in this business a long time and I remember when male MTs were rare. I saw men come into the job for the same reasons women do - interesting work, independence, and of course the huge attraction of working at home, no office politics, etc.

BTW, Michael, if it "frosts" you butt, why did you use an emoticon with fire? (Just kidding you.)
I think it is a male...

Had to train my male (sm)
Started by keeping the box really clean with that nice scooping sand that they like. Then I would walk over to the box and say, here kitty, and invite him to go in.
After his pee pee in the box, he gets a treat!
We still have an occasional problem, but only when the box is dirty. The pee pee in the corner means he doesn't like that dirty box!

I never go to a male doc for this very reason. nm

The patient is a male

The doctor said:   "He denies bloody or cloudy urine, pain with urination and vaginal bleeding."

I crack up laughing and quote this to my husband, stating the patient's gender.

And his response was, "I hope so."
(think about it)  


 


So where exactly is the male vagina?

MALE MT or FEMALE MT?

Who is better in the Medical Transcription? Men or women medical transcriptionists. I believe it has been a debate throughout decades who is better in this industry. Regardless of Race and regardless of Age. Let the battle begin... (hey its just for fun)


State your side: Age sex Location. No names Pls. and comments. Maybe Footonmyneck, SUN, Cheeseburger, Proud to be Indian, and the entire MT Stars gang can start it up. Its better than talking about outsourcing and MQ for a change.


 


Male MT or female MT
35-year-old female, AR
I don't as I know several straight male MTs...sm
just like I know some straight male nurses. 
Ok, here's the Big Male Secret...
We want y'all to think we're helpless and can't do things so we can get out of doing stuff. It works, too! :)

It's not a secret, Rad Guy. We just let you think it is.

male transcriptionists
I worked with one where we were paid $25 an hour - he would come in on Saturday and Sunday and milk the clock for 12-16 hours when there was only about 1-2 hours of work. This went on for a couple of years. Then I had another male MT as a supervisor and he was very nice and has always helped me to find work when I needed it. Different strokes for different folks.
One of the male MTs emailed me his pic. sm
I didnt know he was sending me a pic of his little willie.  I didnt want to see a penis when I looked and then just ROFL @ it. 
female vs male
I would rather listen to a male dictator as well, depending on how low his tone is.  I do have one female that I do like.  She is actually very good, very organized.  What I do hate, with a passion, is a female ESL dictator.  That is the worst of both worlds.  Talk about REALLY not knowing what the heck they are saying!!!

Where did U get my picture??

Getting the picture
NOW you're all getting the picture. You vote with your feet. Don't expect anybody else, especially government, to come to your rescue. I also tell anybody that I come across that asks (even if they don't, I'll still tell them) to find out where the heck their medical records are being shipped to. If doctors are getting questioned enough by various different people, maybe, just maybe, they'll get the hint.
So, just what is the whole picture on the

LOL...I can picture it
It's a bird, it's a plane, no....it's SURGICAL CLARENCE!!!!! Super hero, mender of all patients.

Thanks for the laugh.
My take on the big picture of VR
I really think the companies such as Dictaphone, have a very good sales staff, that talks a good talk to the powers that be at the hospitals, that they can save money, yada yada yada with the VR then the hospitals are justified in lowering the rate of pay for the VR ... so we are spending more time making sure these reports are correct, but getting less money for our time... WE LOSE OUT!

Who do people assume all male MTs are gay?
Its not like we're BEAUTICIANS or FLORISTS or something! This really frosts my butt!
you say it's wrong to assume male MTs are gay
but then you say, "Its not like we're BEAUTICIANS or FLORISTS or something!"


TALLY OF MALE/FEMALE MTS

Good Evening People, we have a tally of the Male MTs and Female MTs as of November 19, 2005. Have a nice day


Male: SEVEN (7)


Female: FORTY (40)


Check in at: MALE MTs or FEMALE MTs


Pls read the rules


 


Definitely neuter him!! I have three male dogs and have had this...sm
problem as well. Our first male dog is a mixed Dachsund. He was very anxious and hiked on everything, especially when we were gone. Having him neutered helped calm him down and helped with the hiking. He is now 5 years old. We had him neutered at 2 years of age and he has never hiked since then. Also, he calmed down enough to be put in the bathroom when we leave! Our second male dog is a chocolate cocker spaniel. We had him neutered mainly because he was hiking to mark his male territory. Had him done around 1 year of age and he has never done it since. He has never had a problem with being put in a cage when we are gone, but neutering has calmed him down and taken away the hiking problem. OUr third male dog is a Cavilier King Charles Spaniel. He is 8 months old and getting neutered tomorrow! He has been doing the hiking thing to mark his spot in the chain! We are expecting him to do well and quit the hiking also!! I would definitely recommend neutering your doggie! I think it would help him in both the hiking and his anxiety. Good luck and lots of luv to your doggie!!!
Sure do !!! I have 2 Rotties, one male and one female...
The male is cool as a cucumber. The female on the other hand is in constant motion all the time even though I jog with each of them 30 minutes per day. It's not too bad when the SO is home to divert their attention. When he's not, they can drive me nuts....
Actually, you can tell a male from a female by the tail.
A male's tail is tapers to a much finer point than a female's (I don't know the difference if there is a rattle involved).

The only male MT I've worked with is now ...
one of the MDs I transcribe for now. He worked as an MT for the same small service I did while he was going to school.
Nah...the male poster was more articulate than that!

Male friend age 73 had some tests done and x-ray

and doctor was amazed when he saw a blockage of the intestine.  The friend is very "eccentric" and not knowledgeable about his health, so that is all I know as of today.  When the doctor saw this blockage, he immediately called an ambulance (hospital just across the street), and he refused to go in an ambulance.  Then he drove himself to the ER at the hospital and took all papers and x-rays.  The ER was very busy with broken bones, etc., and he got tired of waiting and left, leaving his papers and everything on the desk.  He told the doctor he would come back Monday, and he said "you may not live until Monday."


Can you help with what you would think could be this problem with his intestine.  He is doing 3-day smear for blood now and to return them.  Thank you for any information you may have.  I am very worried about him.


I am indeed...an insensitive boob of a male. :) nm
And I agree that my post wasn't funny. There's nothing funny about MTs losing their jobs to offshore companies when I know by personal experience that those companies cannot and do not transcribe medical documents properly. This leaves only the 3-cent-per-line leftovers for us to add quality back to rotten documents.

Quite right! I'm not laughing at all, although it's a pity that satire seems to be high on the list of the Forum Police.
What is wrong with this picture?
You got $400 and I only got $25??????  I mean, WTF?????????????????
something is wrong with that picture
I was not considered level II until I did 1600 lpd (VA account) after one year.

More like the picture at the very top on the right, I believe it is 26' x 36'. I know I can't afford the others and probably not the one I want either but this gives you an idea of the type of situation or setup I am talking about.:)

Did you see the latest picture of her (sm)

possibly pregnant, reading the junk magazines while going through the grocery store line?


So very, very few good or talented actors these days.  Give me Jerry Lewis or Bill Murray any day.  And actresses?  I can't even list any I like anymore besides Marily Monroe. 


you are not seeing the big picture here for american MT's
Anyone can start a board, site.

What kept me here was their true dedication to US the American medical transcriptionists. Everyone is selling is out left and right.

If we dont stand up for ourselves we will be working for 4 cents a line.

All of the insulting offshoring companies in the GLOBAL NETWORKING COMMUNITY are now LAUGHING at us.

Do you think that is funny?

I don't think it is funny.

I think we've been sold out.

We are cheap labor. Nothing to bargain for.

All of your years of knowledge now count for NOTHING.

Good luck to you in the new global network.
I'm getting the full picture now. Not...
a pretty picture is it?
Oh DO share a picture with us all

We'd all just LUV to see him and please don't disappoint everyone with the old "Sorry, I don't have one" or "I don't know how to get the pic on the computer" because we just can't take no for an answer!  We're sure you've got photos coming out of the woodwork on someone that cute but please, no substitutions with a pic of Brad Pitt all doctored up K?


We're all waiting .......................................... 


Okay. Since you asked, here's his picture.

This was taken last week. He's the guy in large picture, dead center, () and I'm over on the right  () in the smaller photo with pony tail.  Sorry, they snapped our photos so fast neither one of us had the chance to take our glasses off!  LOL!

What's wrong with this picture

If you have to work 3 jobs, something's gotta give.  Lifestyle change, job change, something....life's too short to spend it all working.


A True Picture
Thank you for your post! Those of you that gave me an actual response instead of insults have given me a true picture of what MT is, and it is very different from what training companies would have you believe. It seems to be more work than I am willing to put forth.

Thanks!
I think a lot of people don't see the big picture.

For the most part MTs either had on-the-job training or have a certificate that required a year or so of schooling.  If you only went to school for a year you probably wouldn't get getting paid anymore than what you can make as an MT.   Those of us making upwards of $35,000/year it has taken us years to get to this point.  Not necessarily because of wage increases, but because it takes a while to learn enough where you aren't looking up things constantly, takes a while to build your expander, increase typing speed, etc.  


For MTs that have benefits they don't figure that into the line rate most of the time.   For those who work at home they also don't figure in the clothes, the gas, car maintenance, etc. 


I also feel like a lot of MTs complain (and rightly so) because these companies keep coming up with platforms that are not user friendly.  If one company can have a platform that is super easy, the MT can be productive, why can't every company do that.  It just doesn't make sense to me.   If the MT is happy they are more likely to stay.  These companies who have constant turnover have to employ several people just to deal with weeding out resumes, testing, training, etc.   If they would take that $$ and put it into MT line rates and come up with a better platform they would still come out ahead.  


A lot of new MTs buy into the $40,000/year that the TV commercials claim without ever investigating it and are in for a real shock. 


There are lots of other reasons people complain.  Some people will just not be happy period, doesn't matter if doing MT or not.   


Some company, and again rightly so, that they get all the garbage reports while the good stuff gets offshored.  I do 85% ESLs and don't mind doing my share, but I don't want to do garbage all day.  If I get paid per line I need to be producing lines and if I can't do that then I'm not happy. 


I see a bigger picture there than you do - sm
I see the state of US healthcare as a whole, which is going steadily downhill. It's a complicated mess and will take a lot of scrutinizing and picking apart to have any hope of cleaning up some of its dirtier secrets. Taking surveys in various sectors of that industry (especially in MT, a sector that for the most part is totally swept under the rug and ignored) is at least a step in the right direction. Not being interested in taking a survey is a personal decision, and if you feel threatened by it, then by all means steer clear if it makes you feel better. But your all-out attack on the idea, which seems to center around a PayPal button, seems skewed somehow, and makes me think you are MORE threatened by the thought that our profession's dirty laundry just might get aired.
Isn't that picture absurd??
I don't know what they were thinking! It's so ridiculous, it's laughable.
Go to the Gab board to see a picture
that wears a shock collar. I think he looks horribly unhappy, don't you????

By the way, he "smiles" all of the time!!!!!!!!!!!
