He uses Dragon Dictate to dictate his notes. His notes are so repetitive that he says he doesn't need a transcriptionist. Plus he only charges $25 per patient, so it isn't as cost effective for him to use a Transcriptionist as it is for other doctors. He said that if he charged $150 per patient like other docs, he could justify the cost of a transcriptionist.

Is there engineer week? Astronaut week? Veterinarian week?

chiropractor
I definitely would question it. For one, that amount is outrageous. When I first started taking my family to the chiropractor we went every week, my whole family. Now, my husband and I go every week and my kids go every other week or so. My kids play sports and it helps them. I only pay $100.00 a month for a family of 5.

I have had fibromyalgia and recently had 10 visits. Much improved. Love it. Nancy
Chiropractor
Yes, you should go for it! Just be sure you find yourself a good one. I have scoliosis and a herniated disk and have very little pain.

Love them!!! I had an injury to my jaw and got TMJ also, and the chiro can help that and the neck. In fact my dentist had me go to the chiro first for an adjustment before I had my night guard measured that I use for grinding.
But I go to the chiro about once a month now for a good adjustment. Just sitting in the position we do all day really wears on the body and the neck. I also have my chiro spray the area with fluoromethane just before the adjustment. It gives you a buzz for a couple minutes long enough for you to relax and they can do there job even better.
I even was a guinea pig for my chiro when he went to learn how to do manipulations under anesthesia. That was a great experience too.
Also my chiro sends me to a massage therapist in between my adjustments just to keep everything loose and moving freely. And if you can, try a hot stone/rock massage. Gets to the muscles even deeper for even more of a relaxation during the massage. We all deserve the massage treatment for the jobs we do. My attitude is a whole lot better for a longer period time.
Good luck.

I, too, was in a car accident in my 20s with a rollover x6, have/had 2 herniated disks and neck problems. The pain would be so bad, I needed crutches or a cane and could barely get around. I decided to go to a chiropractor instead of being operated on. My first one was a female, 4 feet 11 inches tall, and still working at age 92. She was great. She didn't use machines at all.
My second one is now in his 70s and he uses a vibrating machine to loosen up the muscles, then cracks my back or neck.
I rarely have pain anymore. When I feel my back going out on me or my neck hurting, I immediately make an appointment, and I'm good as new within a treatment or two.
Can't beat the price, either. Go for it. Just find someone who graduated from the Palmer Institute. They're the best.
Chiropractor visits
I take myself and my two boys (14 and 8) to the chiropractor every 4 weeks. It is just to keep us "tuned up". My kids notice a difference in themselves if we miss a month. They actually like going because it makes them feel so much better. I would be concerned about it if they are going every week though. If you are paying for it, you should have the right to ask about it.
I talked to my chiropractor (sm)
and he said that new graduates (probably medical school ones also) are being told that Medicare/Medicaid won't pay for claims that aren't EMR genrated by 2014 and as early as 2009. Thus several new doctors are starting right off the bat with this type of program.
EMR is a fact of life, the touch screen programs are being touted highly for doctors who perform the same type of procedures over and over and several hospitals and large clinics are making the switch.
I woke up this morning and decided to go back to school and finish getting nursing degree. I don't think it's too far-fetched to be realistically concerned about MT being phased out.
I go to a chiropractor every 2 weeks and get "adjusted" - sm
started to go in December after a car accident, which did wonders to help my stiffness and pain from that.....the job though aggravated it a lot too. Was discharged in late April, and now I go using my insurance for $45 a pop (I pay $10 of it). I am going to keep going as it really helps me a lot after marathon weekends (I go on Monday morning my day off basically).
Quilified chiropractor. It's an alignment problem.

I went to a 92-yo 4ཇ female chiropractor and she was great (sm)
I have a history of back problems and had a slipped disk in my back, would sometimes get sciatica and definitely would need to walk with a cane, but after a few treatments, I would get fixed up by her. She would only charge $3 !!!!!! (back in the 70s) for treatment and took care of my sinus problems as well! Ah, the good old days.
Now I go to another one and he's just as good but I'm afraid he's going to retire soon. He charges $35. Three treatments and I'm back to normal. I look only for graduates of the Palmer School graduates as they still manipulate mostly without machines. He takes x-rays before working on you to make sure there is nothing really strange with the back.
I'm allergic to most steroids so I can't have injections and that would be my last resort anyway. Forget surgery unless it was a life-threatening situation.
Anyway, I believe most of the stuff they want to do nowadays is just a money rip-off to pad their pockets at the expense of the patient.
One of my best friends has a good friend who is a chiropractor -sm
She (my friend) knows all the ins and outs. So when I was in a car accident in 10/05 I asked her....I had run into the money machine chiropractors before in the past and my SIL sees a real quack who has her basically living on herbal pills (she barely eats), and has her kids on them too. So my experience was a bit jaded. She said if you went to one who got their schooling at Palmer College of Chiropractors, then they should be a good chiropractor and be "straight" and practice straight chiropractic care and not be out to rape your wallet and use gadgets, etc. I heeded her advice and now am seeing a Palmer graduate and have been very happy with my care and my back is tons better now (after I was told there was nothing that could be done by my orthopedist). It did not happen overnight, took about 2-3 months, about $45 a visit. She "adjusts" (cracks) my back, neck and hips. I have had one "relapse" so to speak (which can happen and is normal) but that is on the mend now. I now only go every 2 weeks. I will probably continue to see her even after I sign off on the accident (my health insurance covers $1000 of chiropractic care a year, so I will be covered which is nice at 2 visits a month pretty much). As long as you don't go to a quack, I think it would probably help you but don't expect miracles overnight, takes a little time to feel better. Good luck.
I have a great chiropractor who adjusts my wrist.
Might call some local DCs in your area and see if any of them do wrists/CPS. I'm currently lucky enough to have insurance that pays a small portion, but even without he only charges $45 for visit, which is well worth it to me.
Anyway, just another suggeston/idea for you.
I work for a chiropractor and he likes disc.

Typically this week is a slow week in lots of places
because it is a big vacation week. Typically things slow dow a bit in the summer too because people are putting off elective surgery, but at the same time lots of people going on vacation so it should balance out.
Lowest runs $900 week, highest $1400 week (sm)
Get paid 12 CPL. Been doing transcription for about 12 years.
I work 6 days a week every other week
Due to my company's payroll (it runs Sun-Sat), I'm able to work a rotating schedule with every other weekend off. Week 1 I work Sunday through Thursday with Fri, Sat, Sun off. Week 2 I work Monday through Friday with Saturday only off. Then I'm back to week 1 and get that following weekend off.
I've found that I'm more productive with shorter shifts and I have kids in school anyway, so I work a lot of split shifts during the week. If possible, you might want to consider cutting back your hours to 30 hours and just work five 6-hour days in split shifts, 3 in the morning and 3 in the evening.
I have no AC. Will be in 90s again her in WI next week...
Ugh. Ugh. Worst part is my little kids. And, everything feeling sticky. I hate that.
*send me cool breezes* LOL!
Maybe twice a week. That is enough for me. nm

$60 a week ($12 a day) nm

Did see that one, but saw one last week where...
this anti child predator group posed as young teenagers on the internet and lured men to a house where NBC cameras were set up. In 3 days about 20 men showed up to have sex with 12/13/14 yo boys and girls. What was shocking was that not all of them were non-functional anti-social types. Many of them were professionals including a TEACHER, rabbi, ER doctor, etc. You should have seen their reaction when they realized they were speaking with NBC Primtime and their faces were going to be showcased on national TV. Needless to say, the professional men's lives have been ruined. It is scary to think there are so many seemingly trustworthy men who would show up to have sex with a child. VERY SCARY. Lesson for parents. Don't allow you children to use chat rooms PERIOD!
I wish I saw this last week sm
I just ordered a bunch, but I'll keep track of your web sites and check them out. Thanks for the tip.
She already said 50 hrs per week and
That means she's making around $25 an hour, which is about right for an experienced MT with their own accounts and lots of shortcuts, templates, and expanders. Working for a company and working for self are two completely different ballgames. If you work for a company, then the person you are working for is making 3-4 cpl (at least) more than you are in order to pay you what you make and still earn a profit to run the business. If you work for yourself, then you set the rates based on what you need to make to earn a living. I would say a good average CPL rate for MTs with their own accounts is probably 12-13 cpl so you can do the math. If an MT is working for self making 12 cpl, in order to earn $25 an hour, they'd need to produce 208 lines. Not exactly unrealistic for anyone with experience and expanders, etc.
Sorry if you all aren't making that kind of money, but it can be made if you are good at what you do and you utilize production aids and don't settle for measly 6-cpl jobs.
my first week on my own
Wow. I started with two companies at once which was dumb, but on is limited and pays better. Only thing is their software is the most unuser friendly thing and I can't seem to understand. I have to download the voice files from their site, transfer that name -DSS onto the text name, type the reports in Word and transfer them over too. It's ridiculous. Then I started with Infomatics which seems like a sweat shop. If i made $75 all week, it's a lot. They finally sent me a food pedal, and would you believe it was defective? I've used either hot keys or the screen on the monitor. Takes 4 hours to do a 20 minute job, no joke. They are like a sweatshop. Got offer from Ameriscribe but don't want to work weekends. I ran my own service, apparently from the stone age, and this is really a hard transition. The typing is easy if I had a footpedal and with the other company could understand their stupid, stupid software! HELP!
I had one the other week who...
kept slamming the receiver down on a hard surface while she paged through the chart. And then when she picked it up again, she started speaking before she had it close to her mouth, so I lost a lot of what she was saying. What a pain!
By the way, I was going 2 x a week at first, then 1 x a week and - sm
as I said now once every 2 weeks. As mentioned below avoid those that want to see you every day (I did that once years ago....bill was $600 after 3 days...needless to say I argued the bill and got it knocked down to about $200 and never went back) or use weird gadgets, etc. There are good ones out there.
This is the second week that
I didn't enjoy the show. They all seemed nervous or off. Kelly's twang is getting on my nerves. She reminds me of Ellie May from the Beverly Hillbillies. Is there anyone else out there that thinks Kenny Rogers looks like Merv Griffin? His plastic surgery certainly is subtle. 
I am going to do it once a week. (sm)
I'm so excited. I may finally be blackhead free. I was just about to buy some expensive stuff. This cost me a whole doll-hair!!!!
mt week
is MT week next week?? thanks
What do you think this week?
And again Taylor and Elliot take the cake in my book. I thought Katherine did poorly again. She should have thanked her lucky stars that she didn't get sent home last week and picked up the pace, but obviously she didn't. Chris was just okay in my opinion. He is actually boring me lately. I used to think he was great. Still think he has talent, just not entertaining anymore.
GO ELLIOT!!!! GO TAYLOR!!!!!

MT week
Thanks a bunch for the good wishes! It means a lot to all of us.
MT Week
 Happy MT Week to All!
mt week
nothing so far, i did send an email to the group.
MT week, that is
:-)
MT Week
Yeah. I never ever win anything. That just made my day.
MT week
I took my I/C's out to a nice lunch, gave them a raise and am taking myself to Vegas on Monday for three days.
MT Week
Yes, my company made a donation in all our names to breast cancer research. I think that is a very wonderful thing to do. I was touched and pleased.
OMG, you are going the same week I am!
with a 3-1/2-yo. Caravelle is great, too, but Compass Cove has better pools and a couple of lazy rivers, one that's indoor for rainy days. Plus they are cheaper, too. They have a kids pool with a submarine that the kids can climb around in and water buckets that tip over and pour water on them, etc. Very cool and my kids love it! They are 6 and 12, and even my 12-yo has fun with the dumping buckets. You should email me and I can tell you more about both places, but Compass Cove is the best all-around deal. We are going the exact same week so maybe we can even meet and say hello!!
Oh, and yes, they have a really good buffet breakfast that's included in the package deal. In fact, if a place doesn't offer that, it's a dealbreaker for us now! LOL!
If you're interested in email about this, I'd love to chat with you more about it. :) I think I'm set up so you can email me but if not, let me know and I'll try to change it, or I can email you. :)
WOW! I cannot believe we are going the same week...lol
There is not a link on their to email you...I get a little confused with how to do it too...lol....Where are you from? I am from WV....It is about an 8 hour trip for us but I cannot wait...We used to go 1-2 times EVERY year but for the pasted few years have slowed down - last year we did not even get to go....We usually stay at Sandcastle South - I usually go with my family...It is okay -kinda plain in decorations..and too expensive for what they have to offer I think...My family loves it though...So since we are going just our family I am going to where I want to go....lol...
I will try to add my email on here so feel free to email me...and yeah, maybe we can meet...that would be neat! 
very bad week
One of my favorite neighbors was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer and will be lucky if he is here in three weeks. His gallbladder and pancreas are gone as well as 2/3 of the liver and so he unable to eat anything. But he says that he is in no pain. They were treating him for ulcers for the past six months. My 15 year old doggie was diagnosed with a cancerous growth on her neck/jaw and if I don't have it removed she won't be able to eat in a month or so and with removal the doc thinks that I will have a year or so since she is still in good shape and this type of cancer does not metastasize. So it has been a down week for me but all you can do is to put one foot in front of the other and keep trucking.
MT Week
I see where you got the impression that Diskriter gave out AMEX - that was donated to MT Stars as a giveaway.
MT Week
Funny thing is, shortly before I quit, they sent out an email asking everyone to nominate them for MT Company of the Year for MT Week.
Hmmm.... Doubt very much they are going to win that award! :)
MT WEEK
Thanks Transtech for the American Express Gift Cheque. You guys are the best!!!!
It took me about a week
to get used to it and about a month to get proficient with it. I have been using it for six years and I can't type without it. I have entire templates in it, phrases, words, you name it.
Just about $500 a week
but that's as an employee.
What a week!
Is it just me or has anyone else out there had a H*LL of a week too. I don't know...maybe the stars are out of whack or something. It just seemed like no matter how hard I worked I couldn't get anything done.
On VR for a 4 day week
I average around $500 per week (some straight but mostly VR at 4 cents per line).
MT week?
Any of your employers out there or customers do anything for you for MT week?
MT week
Yep - got a pen, printed thank you card and a laminated instruction sheet after five years. Lucky to get that as an IC I guess.
MT week
HECK NO!!! I never get anything for MT week. I'm lucky if I get a thank you.
