I think the message was that you are the one that is sensitive. Not me.

Sensitive about what?
I don't even work for MQ. I just thought your post looked kind of stupid because how would you know if Americans are lazy if you're not American and don't live as Americans do? If you are American, you're part of the group you called lazy. I'm not sensitive about anything. I just thought you looked kinda silly for not thinking things through.
A bit sensitive huh?
If you feel you are being attacked, it's because of your original statement. We were simply pointing out that what you are doing is wrong. Period. And I still think you need to put on your big girl panties. 
sensitive to smells
I used to be allergic to anything in the laundry detergent, strong perfumes, etc categories. I would walk down the aisle to buy laundry detergent and wheeze and sneeze. I found out I had many environmental allergies and had six years of allergy shots, and then I got tired of them, but I now have immunity. I also used to get the bad headaches. Tylenol Sinus/Flu helped me a lot. Sometimes though, really strong musk or other perfumes will make me sick. Maybe an allergy doctor could help you also.
Maybe you're too sensitive
I've re-read the posts, and I don't see anyone being insulting. We are tired of having our jobs taken away, our wages being cut by one-third or more over the past 5-7 years, while all our concomitant expenses have gone up.
We are tired of everyone else in this world thinking that it is their right to leech off the U.S.A.
We are tired of our medical records and other confidential information being in the hands of foreigners who are not subject to the laws here that are supposed to protect us. Identity theft is at epidemic proportions in this country. That is in no small part because so many of our corporations offshore their accounting, billing, and customer service work giving foreigners our SSN, address, income information, marital status, and other vital info.
If your feelings got hurt, too bad. We're fighting for our livelihood here.
BTW, for a South African to protest that something on this board was "insulting" to the rest of the world is stupendously arrogant. Not all Americans are as ignorant of the rest of the world as you think we are. Your country has a long history of obstinancy and arrogancy bordering on lunancy.
Dear Sensitive
I gave you my opinion, which wasn't UNkind = ask you supervisor how to handle this type of situation (how much should/can you edit for the account(s) you are assigned to).
They will likely appreciate your caring enough to be sure you are transcribing accurately...
This sounds maybe like you are a little sensitive
rather that something else. I, like you, have a thyroid problem but others really do not understand. I have to take medications for the rest of my life. Hey, I used to get (and still do sorta underlying from 1 member of family) barbs from my father until I told him to ask his physician (whom he trusted apparently more than anyone) about the thyroid deal. He eased up after that but before OMG! The thing about making room, that could be innocent but maybe to you or I or your friend that means something else. My feelings have been hurt before so I know. The thing about the insurance- my time in applying for life insurance I told person on the phone about husband 260 pounds and 6'4- they immediately told me overweight and would have to come to home to interview him and see. They found a very well-built, muscular man and they said, hes not overweight, just a really big man and wrote the policy. Having said that, insurance companies are more strict now about insuring people overweight, with things like diabetes, hypertension and the like. They just are like that. I know because my present husband fits both the above and I cannot get life insurance on him, just risks they do not want to take even though he takes no medicine for diabetes and keeps in check with a good lifestyle and eating habits- hereditary with him. Working at home, though, does not stop a Transcriptionist because it is not an inhouse thing now like it used to be. I have lived the above so I know others can be cruel sometimes.
noise sensitive
Well, go figure, we are trained to pick up every little detail in dictation and to do that, our ears are extremely acutely tuned to every nuance. You just can't shut it off when the ear phones come off. 
Anyone else overly sensitive to smells?
Went to the grocery store today and smelled one of those new Glade candles things and it wasn't a particularly strong smell (Rose and vanilla) but by the time I put it back on the shelf I had a throbbing headache and by the time I got to the end of the aisle I thought I was going to puke. I never know what will set me off - although artificial blueberry flavoring kept me in bed for 3 days and anything with this in it is banned from my house.
I avoid fragrance counters in department stores, get fragrance-free magazines, try to avoid smokers and even the butt buckets they have in front of stores.
Is there anything you do to head off a wicked headache when you are exposed to something? I haven't always been like this, but the older I get the worse it seems to get. I'm not bad enough I feel like I need to wear a mask in public, but I've thought I would have to get better to die a couple of times.
i'm overly sensitive to sound!
do you suppose its from having sound pipped into our ears close-range!?
don't forget that it seems to be case sensitive.

It is not about religion being a sensitive subject, it is about
posting on the correct forum. The Main board gets so jammed that we have had to create other forums for particular subjects. We only ask that posters kindly utilize those forums instead of posting every single thing on the Main board.
Again, thank you.

This job has made me overly sensitive
:-(
I think it is incredibly kind and sensitive. I
don't think it unprofessional at all, especially if the patient and/or family are religious. I hear something similar on occasion.
I already do pray. But why not spirits? Animals are more sensitive, you know

Ok. I stand corrected...may be overly sensitive..sm
I work for two places, one full time as IC and one part time as IC. Full time is small service with approximately 14 MTs. I get paid by the gross line at .067 cpl, typed in courier new 12. I have worked there for three years. Part time IC job is .08 cpl at 55 characters, typed in TNR 12. I consider both of these to be low paying, after reading some of the others, but they pay the bills. I guess.
I wasn't aware Asian people were sensitive
about it. Where I live I guess we don't have the largest Asian population. Those I have met have been rather reserved and didn't discuss anything personal to someone they met in business or a casual meeting. So forgive me if I used the wrong term when I said Oriental, because I was just attempting to be vague since I didn't check on the origin of the dictator's name. As for those who suggested I leave a blank, any report with more than 3 blanks has to go to QA. So I take the time to look at his other reports for instances where he either said it better or the MT was better at that particular accent. I'm quite good at many accents, including Korean (let me acknowledge that Korean would be a particular Asian accent so we don't start another time-consuming discussion over that tiny point). But whatever particular Asian accent this person has, at least with the system we are using to record his voice, I have trouble with. But I get a few reports by him nearly every day, so I've started a list of the phrases he doesn't pronounce well. Whatever his first language is obviously didn't use many of our sounds, so I was just thinking it would probably take a speech therapist to train him. IMO, some of his training isn't appreciated fully if his patients can't understand him when he speaks, or MTs have to leave blanks in his reports. So with all the education he's had already, what would be a few weeks of speech therapy, is what I'm thinking.
My husband is sensitive to smells, he takes Sudafed Sinus which helps him with the headache
I have sensitivity problems too but like you I never know what is going to set me off, I don't get headaches though, I get hives and chills, real fun. Luckily it only happens about once a year and its been about 3 years since my last episode.
Venting-why do people keep putting nm and THEN writing a message?? nm means no message - sm
Please put sm if you have a message and NM if there is no message other than your subject line. It makes it easier when reading these messages. thanks so much and have a nice day everyone.
small message. nm means no message
see?
Flame=200 views, sm=see message, nm=no message

sm, see (or short) message, nm is no message.
x
sm-see message, nm-no message, ks-I think it's someone's initials.
nm
or no message, small message - whatever SM
any indication there is no need to waste time opening the post.
it is irritating also when people type through the subject line as well as the name line and then do not indicate if it is worth pursuing.
sm is see message not small message. I almost always
put NM or nt if there is no message, but quite a lot of people still open the posts as evidenced by the number of views.

You messed it up yourself. Why are you blaming the recruiter? Your test was not good. You prematurely sent in a resignation. Do you actually think it was someone else's fault?

Boy!!!! I'm glad I woke everyone up today; bet you feel more energized, don't you??? I am not making light of this horrible tragedy. I would have been devastated if it had been my son. There is a saying out there, "chance prefers the prepared mind"; in other words, at least think ahead and try to prepare; of course no one can be right about everything all the time. I have just seen and read about so many instances where the parents or "caretakers" of a child were negligent that resulted in irreparable harm to the child or children. I still cannot blame that driver without further info as to exactly how that happened. If I were driving that car and did not see that 2 year old and ran over him, I would actually be a victim as well because that is something I could never, ever forget!!

See where the X to close out the Word window is? Right next to the ruler bar for the margin there should be an up arrow (for scrolling). Right above that is a little line. Put your cursor on the line and move it up to the top.

It's not worth it. Run away as fast as you can and find another profession.

My 15yo got this. Tried all OTC products. Nothing worked. She has very, very thick hair! Enough for 3-4 people. It is also below her mid back. We used Crisco oil and Joy dishwashing liquids. She slept with the Crisco oil on her head overnight (roughly 10 hours) and then we washed it out with Joy (OMG at the amount of nasty lil bugs in the tub!). Waited 10 days and did it again (mainly just for her to feel better). She has never had them again.

Many, many dance studios offer adult classes in levels from beginner to professional. I've taken tons of them. I will be signing up again as soon as we can afford it! Where are you located?
Hope this helps!

I know that years ago Dictaphone had a hand-controlled pedal which I had used. You might want to contact the Dictaphone Company and find out if this option is still available.
As far as I know, you cannot hook a C-phone pedal to your computer. However, I may be wrong about that; although I would think if it could be done it would be quite complicated.
Another option you might want to think about is to re-record your dictations to your computer and play them back as .wav files. This can be done through the sound recorder with a connection that you can buy at Radio Shack for about $20. I have done this in the past and though the sound quality was not the best, I could still hear and understand the dictations.

So, are there 15 openings because MTs have left? If so, that seems like a lot for just one hospital.

The spellchecker is Dorlands. It came with the hardback Dorland's Dictionary. The spellchecker came on a CD which you have to load into your computer. You also a password to get access to Dorlands.com for research, etc. I bought mine from Amazon, but I think 49.95 is the going price about anywhere.

my, but you are a vindictive person aren't you. Like I said, if you don't mind a background check, go for it.
If you hire a painter/plumber/handyman and do a background check, you will have to do the work yourself.
I'm out of here.
Been there. See message.
My son, now 15, had major problems with reflux when he was baby that wasn't "corrected" until he got really sick. He would vomit what appeared to be every ounce of formula he took in. The doctors told me to put rice cereal in his formula and then put him on his stomach on a bed pillow so that the formula would stay down.
Yeah, right. Just ended up washing more blankets and bed pillows. It wasn't until he was 5 months old that someone finally did something. Poor guy had pneumonia. We took him to the ER and he spent 4 days in the hospital. The diagnosis was pneumonia from aspiration. He was vomiting so hard that he was sucking the formula down into his lungs.
While at the hospital, he had a barium swallow ultrasound that showed that the opening into his stomach (sorry brain cramp for the med term) did not close after eating. They put him on Reglan (metoclopramide). I was told that this medication relaxes the spasms in the stomach opening so that it will close properly. I was told that most children will grow out of it before they are 3 and that some will have it longer or may require surgery. My son was on this medication until he was 5 or 6.
My son still gets occasional heartburn at 15, but it's very rare. It's usually when he eats something like a whole pepperoni pizza, which is to be expected.
Sorry I took so long, but my advice to you, if you haven't already done so, is to talk to your pediatrician about a gastro consult or ask your pediatrician to order a barium swallow, etc., etc. The medication your child is on only quiets the symptoms and obviously isn't curing the real problem.
As sick as your child is, there is something wrong with this picture.
Good luck!

I was more worried about the damage to my self rather than the computer. I live in the Ozarks (Missouri). I woke up yesterday with no power. Thankfully everything is still up and running, but living in MO, a surge protector is a great idea. Thanks everyone!!!

Check 'em out! I'm working on mine too for the same reasons you are.
There are better careers out there than one that:
1. Keeps you so isolated from the world that your only friends are cyber ones.
2. You have no way of budgeting because your pay is never the same twice, and not enough to live on in the first place.
3. You get no respect from employers or anyone else for that matter. "Oh, do you still have that little typing job of yours?"
I'm with you, sistah! This job is crap and I'm so outta here.
Best of luck!

1. They are transferring people on the account over to another system and you are not on that system yet, or, for that matter, the hospital accounts are being put on another system and it takes time to accomplish this.
2. The account you are on is in NY or some place and you live in LA or Chicago or Seattle. They do not wish to use long distance anymore. They are going over to another system.
This is just speculation on my part, but have been in your shoes with another company. They do not care about you. They may bitch and moan about not having any "qualified" MTs, but they could give a poop.
I am truly sorry for what you are going through.
Sorry, will do (no message)

I did some searches on what you told me to check --RTKING, JAY VANCE, STOP STOP TRANSCRIPTION and could not find anything except for Vance to set up security, any additional info so I could find these sites. Also do you ise one of the Internet based call in systems where you pay by the minute of dictation -- do you p ass that onto the docs? Just curious how that works.

It is
The patient's last clinical breast examination
I type tplc and the sentence comes into advisory to top line. I hit [ which should expand it but after only three words, "the patient's last," it fizzles. Sometimes it throws out mumbo jumbo, sometimes two words, never the full sentence.
THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY. What is it I am doing or not doing!!!!

If you aren't making your lines, yes, they are going to determine why and see how they can help you get them where they are supposed to be. They've got work coming out of their ears. If it is because of something out of your control, I'd call your supervisor and/or Karen, and discuss it with them. If not finding satisfaction there, as a last resort I'd possibly contact either Cindy or Jane and discuss it with them. Certainly discuss it with your supervisor and/or Karen first. I've found them to be very understanding in dire situations.
