NO DICE!!
Been there, done that. I did NOT delete. You contracted/agreed to be compensated $__.00 per line typed. I'm not talking about the occasional line that doc might need to redo. But the habitual, disorganized clod you're referring to is getting paid a 5 or 6-figure salary for his/her disorganization (God help his/her patients).
Having said the above, I would leave each dictated/typed paragraph intact - with the notation at the end stating that dictator requested its deletion. This is not fair to us, and they have no right to do this -- no bread is taken out of THEIR children's mouths.

Well, I looked & looked but did not find it. Maybe tomorrow!

this is a loaded ? sm
IMO, MedQuist is an excellent choice! And I know I'm gonna get flamed, but I don't care! I've been with MQ for over four years now and have been EXTREMELY happy with every aspect of my job. I'm always paid on time, never run out of work, have a nice coordinator, workflow is very helpful and friendly, and tech support is good, too! I have nothing to complain about and would highly recommend you give them a try.
And NO, I am not management, though wish I were! 
Wow. That truly seems like a loaded question to me.
I think it is fair business practice to determine what you pay your employees dependent on what your overhead and expenses are first of all, and secondly what your target profit values are.
I make just under 11 cpl at 2 different nationals, including my incentive bonuses. It is very good work and I am happy with that pay.
That is my experience though. I'm absolutely sure you will hear songs of a different tune from others.
Re: loaded question
I understand what you're saying, but keep in mind your initials are only related to the clerical aspect of the report, not the clinical one. No one looks at a report and connects the MT with the procedure. With that being said, I think you should do your job, which is to transcribe the reports, unless they are coming into your queue so often that it's genuinely affecting you emotionally. If that's the case, perhaps you need to change accounts, rather than cherry pick.
Re loaded question
I rarely post on forums, but will share with you a similar experience I had about 10 years ago. A facility I worked for had a physician on staff who routinely performed third trimester abortions. I found myself sobbing one day as I was transcribing the words "heavy crushing fetal forceps." I went straight to my supervisor and told her I would never do his work (or similar) again.
My client loaded my templates into their EMR and are now doing it themselves
I feel for you. My clients had me turn over all my templates/macros and loaded them into their system and are doing it themselves. This was after dishing out thousands and thousands of dollars in equipment and training additional staff. I was making $7,000 a month and now it is $65 a month if I am lucky.

I have a question that I realize could be pretty loaded.
I in no way want to spark a debate and I won't engage in one. I just have a moral situation and I ask that only those who have had similar experiences respond. As stated, no need for a debate. I am adamantly opposed to abortion for any reason. I don't condemn those who do or have had them, but I oppose abortion. I work for a national and just recently had a few abortion procedures to transcribe. I felt awful doing it. I was really torn between wanting to cherry pick past those (which I feel would be perfectly acceptable to do while letting a supervisor know why), but didn't. I just feel like a real hypocrite that my initials are now attached to an abortion procedure that I do not support. I just wondered if anyone ever found themselves in this situation and what, if anything, did you do about it. Now, this is about abortion only. I'm sure many of you could jump in and say you're against gastric bypass but you still transcribe those, etc. I respect others' views. This happens to be strictly about this situation and in an effort to avoid ugliness by way of a debate, I respectfully request that you only respond if you have dealt with this situation specifically. Thank you and God bless!
I bought a Vista-loaded system and I have tried to
work now for several companies but Vista is incompatible with their platforms.
I HATE IT.
I loaded my old PRD files into Instant Text
I still had PRD on my old Windows 98 computer and the Instant Text folks told me how to save my files and upload them into Instant Text when I changed over to a new computer. I was very happy about that. It corrupted a few of them but after editing them they worked fine.
Hands down, PRD was the best. Shame they didn't keep it updated as Windows changed. It was set up to work in word patterns, making it easier to remember abbreviation names. I've set up IT the same when making new additions.

However, I have seen results from both. It is hard to keep the weight off or maintain it once you start eating food again.
I worked for a physician who specialized in the MediFast program. The initial results were good, but the patients had a very hard time maintaining it and gained some back.
Explain how you used the jump drive, I did that but loaded it on the computer but...
somehow my jump drive got messed up. It asks me if I want to redo the drive. I don't know what happened. How do you work from the jump drive?

the pedal just works terribly. I will wait until the tech guy calls me today and see if he can figure it out. If not, well then I am not sure what I can do.
Has anyone disconnected the internal sound card and replace with another sound card?
I am having problems with my sound on one of my computers. Several different ExText program have been on it so I don't think it is the program and the sound is just now as clear as on my other computer. Has anyone switched (disconnected the internal sound care and replaced) to a new sound card? Did it make a difference.
Everyone on this board is so knowledgeable, I really appreciate you. You have helped me many times.
You do sound FAT, but you don't sound RICh.

I don't think he looked
like a drug addict. It is just a look. I loved his singing and cannot get that song "Trees" out of my head. He did not look too disappointed when he did not get selected, perhaps cuz he knew he is creating his own success on his own.
I have looked.
If you're offended, don't read it. It's great that your job is going so well. Mine isn't. They overhired yet again. We're all either out of work or bouncing from one account to another. Why should I lose my house and have my kids go without Christmas because their management is too ignorant to properly staff? I would be making more money at Burger King because I'm not even getting minimum wage now. Don't even tell me it's because I'm not a good MT. I got 100% on my last QA, I do ESLs, I do acute and clinic. Ah, but that's what it's like around here. Any time someone is down, people kick them down further by blaming the victim of bad management. I am worth at least 3x minimum wage and then some, but how am I supposed to quit my job 10 days before Christmas?
We looked into it
I am at a small company and we looked into the Fusion Voice, but they wanted something like $18,000 to start us off. For a small company, no way! They wanted us to start off with everything new. We already were using DVI, but they wouldn't or didn't want to, just license the software for us to use on the DVI system. I also tried to find people that had it, but it does not seem to be a popular system as compared to others. Why I don't know. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
I just looked under the bed....not there! nm

I looked into it a little bit...(sm)
And while I think it is probably legit, they are mostly surveys that either get your name into some type of sweepstakes, or you would have to do an awful lot of them to make any money. I could be wrong, so if anyone else out there is making decent money off these, please correct me...
Yes, I looked at those :)
I am going to apply to TRS and Webmedx tonight, as well as put my resume up on the board. I have a friend at those places and she recommended them to me. TY!!
Just looked...
...at their website...sounds very interesting! What has your experience been with them? How much do they charge you for advances?
I looked over it
mainly I was wondering if there were any other programs that could do it (for cheaper :O))
I reckon I'll have to save my pennies! :)
I have looked into this, but . .
In my part of the country:
The training is 2 years. You must pass with 95% accuracy these tests: 225 wpm 2-voice testimony, 200 wpm jury charge and 180 wpm literary. Must do 40 hours of actual writing time during internship and submit 40 pages of transcript and a written narrative to get your degree.
Also, you must invest in your own stenography equipment, $2,000+ (could go quite a bit higher depending on equipment).
Then you must do 2 years with a legal group.
Then you can apply for a courthouse job after that (that's how my courthouse in a decently large city does it).
Then after you do 2 years of courthouse experience, the closed captioning company will take your application for consideration of hiring and "transitioning."
Closed capitioning for live capitioning (news, sports, etc.) I am pretty sure those people can work at home.
But if you want to do movies, etc., that is done in house. At least in my neck of the woods this is how they do it and what I was told by someone at the company over the phone.
I doubt that you can go straight into closed captioning from school--I am pretty sure that they want you to have pretty much courtroom experience and be pretty well versed with the steno machine.
If you can make it, it seems like a pretty lucrative career. I looked into it many years ago and went into med transcription instead. Could kick myself now.
Have had a couple friends who were court reporters, the machine seems it would take quite a while to master with any efficiency. You know, it reminds me of the alpha-hand I took many many years ago. But again, you would have to practice, practice, practice, and really enjoy what you are working towards.
I just interviewed last week with a court reporting school and then with the local college to check out their court reporting course. The court reporting school said as long as you get up to the 225 per minute speed, you can finish a little early, about 18 months. But not so with my local college, you must do the entire 2 years and classes only start once a year.
Interestingly, I was told there is an 80% drop-out rate. It is pretty tough going.
I changed my mind about going this route, wasn't interested in the courthouse work, wanted to go straight to closed capitioning, but it sounds as though that is not possible. I don't have 6 years to spend for school and experience.
Then I have been reading on the internet that they are starting to get rid of the court reporters in a couple states and replacement them with the audio/video recorders that the courthouses already have in place. So that doesn't sound to good to me. Not sure how accurate that method would be for record keeping, but we all know with offshoring has done to the quality/accuracy of medical reports.
Still thinking of what I should do instead now.
Good luck to you. Again, this is in my neck of the woods, could be different where you are.
I looked into doing this myself - sm
I have decided againist it for a number of reasons. First, I would be repeating a lot of subjects I already took for MT 10 years ago. Second, the pay around where I live is about HALF of what I currently make as an MT. Third, and the real decider for me, is that after I complete MA school I would be qualified as an MT, which is exactly what I am trying to get away from - argh!! Nah, this is not for me.
Hugs to you! I looked everywhere.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never looked at that way, but maybe that's just why it works for me.

HAH!! I need some sleep - I looked right over it..

I looked at the web site.
Looks inviting and I might look into it more later. My dh is worried about me for worrying too much about this and wants me to rest. LOL. I was just wondering if they always have work available and how flexible they are. My old job said we had a 12 hour work window to get production in then they changed their minds on that and we have to get it all in 8 hours and forget to tell you the new policy until your already in trouble. I can get up to 1500 to 1700 in 8 hours if I stay focused but with the end of my pregnancy it was hard with back pain, rib pain and I was making what I thought was production which was a little over 1100 a day to get their 1000 a day by their figuring “sigh”
I am due 9/25 and am taking 6 weeks maternity leave. I thought I would look into something then as now I would hate to get hired on somewhere then take maternity leave 3 weeks later KWIM.
Well let's see, 216 so far have looked at the message
and only 3 of you are complaining so I guess YOU are out numbered. Go get a sense of humor.
Thanks for the info. We have actually looked
in the Destin area too. It is just so beautiful there. I would love to live by the beach. I would be there everyday. My husband actually hates living near the water and said he never would. Now it is me dragging my feet. I love the newness about it, etc., but I hate to leave my family, especially my mom. I am really all she has here. She can take care of herself, but the emotional part you know. I have actually lived across the street from her for the past 7 years. She has already come to terms with us moving, but not to another state! I have lived in Houston my whole life and actually have only been out of Texas once. My kids have had her there their whole lives. They have been surrounded by family, and that has always been very important to me since I did not have that growing up. When we move, we will not know anyone. I guess it is just pretty scary. At least we will be moving to a great area though. Thanks for all the help.
I have looked at a lot of those photos before and I
thinking maybe it had something to do with the type - brand/style implant, or the amount of fat the breast had to begin with to cover up the shape, or SOMETHING. But I would just die if I ended up with round things instead of breasts!
I just checked it out and it looked like (sm)
a "return to work" site to get people off disability and working.
They want you to sign up with a state worker to help you with vocational rehabilitation and get you back to work? That's what I read. And also they want you to work 30 hours a week with the telephone jobs. That would be almost full-time, persons on permanent disability are not allowed to work that much.
When I looked into nursing ...
When I looked into nursing, you had to get at least your LPN or RN training at a real school where you could get the hands-on training. The part you could do on-line would be the more advanced book parts, like getting your BS or masters.
Wish I had not looked. Too depressing. nm
nm
Just looked it up to see what the average is now. sm
The middle 50% of RNs earns 43,700-63,000. So you know the beginning ones are still in the 30s. Might sound good or might not. For me, it wasn't enough for something I wasn't enjoying at all.
I'm not loving the MT world, but I'm loving the freedom, and it's letting me have the flexibility to finish college for something else I actually enjoy.
If you do find you love nursing, there are lots of areas to go into. Just know it may take many years to get there. Specializing usually takes more schooling past the RN.
I realized that when I looked at the
She has tons of wigs and I've seen her with those styles through the years! We just don't know how many stars are wearing wigs and hair weaving!
I looked into it and our number is still
registered as do not call, has been since 2003, but (and I did not know this part) it expires in 2010. I am glad I saw that. Thanks again!!
I have looked around and the range for pay is
.60-.75 and the range to charge if you own customer is .80-.95. Sad but true :(
I thought he looked ill actually.

I looked into that, but I need a system that will...
automatically route work to my MTs.
Thank you for the suggestion though!
I was curious so I looked it up...(sm)
This is fascinating. I have never seen or heard of this. See a pic...
