I agree wholeheartedly.....
The hospital job is the Cadillac of MT jobs anymore. If you're lucky enough to live in a larger metro area that pays better than rural, the hospital job is the last good job situation that you can find. I'm homebased and local to my hospital job, regular employee, benefits up the wazoo, hourly pay PLUS incentive, all equipment supplied for free including my cable internet bill. I left the national scene 3 yrs ago and God willing my hospital never decides to go with a national service, I will be there forever. I'm making 35,000 working less than 40 hours a week. I'm in heaven.
I wholeheartedly disagree
First, if someone does not like her acting style or anything else about her, they are certainly entitled to their opinion. I think through chance or intent I have seen every thing released to date that she has done - Hackers, Girl Interrupted, Gia, Beyond Borders to name a few. She steps up to every different role and continues to grow. She is 30 years old and has been speaking more intelligently in interviews for years than a lot of 40 and 50 year old actors and actresses. She is putting herself out there and putting herself in harm's way as does anyone who puts their face, famous or otherwise, on a cause.
Many of the humanitarian roles she has assumed now are ones she has been asked to do. Since practically birth, and particularly since her teen years, everything she has done has been under a microscope. Now, everything she does is under a different kind of microscope and I think she is doing an admirable job of walking the line. No question she has a wild spirit - didn't most of us have some wild at 20 and 30? She is now formally representing the US and I cannot begin to imagine how stressful it must be to have to say the right thing to everyone every time and still try to achieve the objective. She has looks, brains, money and could be doing anything including sitting around whining about any number of trivial pursuits. Is she an actress who wants to be a philanthropist, or a humanitarian at heart who wants to act? I don't know, but I for one enjoy the entertainment and only wish I had all her gifts so that I could go out and make that kind of a difference. For the record, in my mind there are no similarities between Princess Diana and Angelina, other than perhaps the eye of the world being on them at any given time. Diana's circumstances were forced and tragic and I believe her unbelievable heart and empathy were borne mostly of her pain. She did not strive professionally to be an actress. As a member of the royal family, she was both expected and required to be involved in some charitable works or humanitarian efforts. What she became is a reflection of her true heart, I think, and I admire her very much in that regard. If a single child does not die of thirst and hunger on a floor of dirt because of Angelina Jolie or Princess Diana, I think the world is already a better place.
I agree wholeheartedly with you...
... my hospital forbids its transcription service to send its work overseas, and the company must sign a document every year with regards to that promise. HOWEVER, catching them if they are doing it surruptitiously is another matter. But like you say, it's a huge trainwreck going somewhere to happen. I think it's important to educate the PATIENT that there is always the possibility their confidential records could be leaving the country. For some that could pose all sorts of problems. I for one try to remind my own doc, nurses, etc., that my info. had BETTER NOT get offshored, because if I find out about it, I will sue. And I think all patients should make that point perfectly clear with their healthcare providers. Like you say, sooner or later something really NASTY is going to happen to someone's medical records, and for the institution that was negligent enough to allow those records to end up offshore, there will most likely be hell to pay.

Oh. but I DO know how GREAT it is to not live with this type of personality any longer (married 13 years, divorced him and now 15 years without him and I am SUPER HAPPY). Unfortunately, there are also passive-aggressive women out there in the world, equally as oppressive as the men who have this diagnosis.
By the way, my ex was never *formally diagnosed* - I diagnosed him myself.....and today I feel bad for his wife of nearly 5 years; however, I never deal with them, have never met her....I simply feel sorry for her from afar....because horses NEVER change colors.
So, yes, I not only lost the oaf, but a mere 5 years after the divorce, I dropped 50 pounds and KEPT IT OFF!!! *talk about big weights being lifted* ![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/cutelaugh.gif)
Best of luck to ALL who are going through life dealing with a passive-aggressive personality on ANY level.
I agree wholeheartedly. sm
Unfortunately, they are the only ones that provide any sort of credentialing for this field, as sad as that is.

I recently had a neighbor move in with two small kids. It was a father with these obnoxious little hellions. He asked me on three different occasions if I would watch his kids while he was at work because *you're home all day*. I told him no three different times, trying to explain that I work from home and that I did not have time. He even told me he had to go on nights soon and would it be okay if I could run over to his house two or three times during the night to check on his kids, or perhaps spend the night. and I am supposed to do MY work, when??? not to mention getting any sleep of my own due to running over to his house? Again, I said no. I could not do that. Then suddenly he would start showing up at my door mid afternoon or so and say he had to go pick up one son from school..the other was sleeping on the couch and could I just run over every 15 minutes or so to check on the sleeping one? I did it once, because he put me on the spot. the second time I told him flat out no! They just don't GET IT!!!
Nothing to add except I agree wholeheartedly.

I wholeheartedly disagree with you...
I do work as an IC for an online company that does not require a line quota and does not dictate my hours. They only require that the work I take is back with 24 hours. So, I think you've made a blanketed statement here. I certainly do believe that MTSOs do abuse IC status in more ways than one. I have a whole lot of experience in this field, and I can tell you that it is abuse. ![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/cooldown.gif)

If every company followed the BOS, then we would have standardized medical records. I've gotten copies of my records from various hospitals and clinics from around the country (I've moved a few times in my life) and most were a joke.
I concur wholeheartedly
with you, dnh. I also work for a great company at 8 cpl. We are required to commit to a certain amount of lines per day and our dictators are average to great. I work very hard to send in as few blanks as possible to QA and proofreading is a must, as far as I am concerned. I see so many disgruntled and dissatisfied MTs on this board. I wonder why they bother to continue in this profession if they are so miserable. All jobs come with pros and cons and you make the best of it or move on. In some cases, they may beg you stay. ;-)
Ditto. Agree with you wholeheartedly.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. There is no excuse.
I have learned to live by the basic rule of treating people as I would want to be treated. I'm sorry for your experience.
I wholeheartedly disagree, I'm afraid....
AVG and many of the other free antivirus programs (I use Avira ... there's also Avast! and a number of others) do a fine job at protecting one's computer, usually as good -- if not better -- than the performance one gets from Norton or McAfee.
Actually, I usually recommend AGAINST using either McAfee or Norton, as they're system resource hogs, quite bloated, and generally slow down the user's system.
YMMV.
Agree wholeheartedly, 100% on this one (No Mess)
