My post is clear. ACCOUNTS. (NM)

Where do I post if I am not a new MT but can't get a job and need info on getting local accounts?
I have applied to so many companies that I have lost track of who I have applied to! I have been out of MT for only a year but it seems like I am starting all over again with understanding even the American dictators. So I am thinking of going back to doing local doctors using tapes. I totally lucked out on the first account(s) I had and I don't know how to get local accounts. Any suggestions?
responsibility?
Everyone has made a bad decision at some point in their lives. That doesn't mean that we deserve to be killed because of it. The responsibility lies with the criminals. They are the ones who do the bad things to innocent people. How many girls are kidnapped and raped who aren't out drinking? Many. Why not talk about the parents of the suspected boy? Where does their responsibility lie? We are criticising Natalee's mother, but what about this boy's father? How could you hide information about your son's actions when he has possibly killed someone?
Your mentality is lacking. If you get in a car and drive to work, does that mean you are just asking to be killed in a traffic accident. And if you are, people should just say Oh well, she chose to drive! That's what she gets. ????
Responsibility
Sorry, but I think Beth should be held accountable and responsible for her actions/words. She is out of control, in my opinion, fueled by her raw emotion and e-mails/letter/cards she feels are supporting her actions. She is supported in her ordeal and I support her. However, she has crossed a line now and she needs to step back and reassess. She seems erratic and just grasping at straws now, saying a lot of stuff in interviews that really makes no sense. I do not know how I would react if I was in her situation so I should not criticize her. I just really do feel that her emotions are too raw now for her to be rational. It is like she is declaring, "I came to Aruba. I found the criminals myself, now prosecute them." What if she eventually finds out she was dead wrong, that her beautiful, intelligent, outstanding daughter was alive when she the mother arrived in Aruba but she drove the investigation to go the way she wanted it to go, the way she felt in her heart/soul was the right way. But, what if she is wrong? What if the investigators dropped what they were doing to catch the real criminals to passify Beth and the media? What if Natalee could have been saved? How will her mother feel then if she finds that out?
let the dr take responsibility
Liability insurance? The doctors are supposed to read over our transcribed reports and when they put their signature on the report, they have taken responsibility. Why should we have to pay for liability insurance?
Where is MTs responsibility in this? Is it always

How about the responsibility of the INDIVIDUAL
You've totally missed the whole point of the article!
Govt responsibility
Totally agree with you. I dont care if some were not prepared..what I care about is now they are hungry, thirsty, homeless..It is the responsibility of our government and the brothers and sisters of America to help other Americans when they need help. I am from NY and I have been through quite a few hurricanes..nothing like what Florida goes through but I do know hurricanes hit sometimes when you are a day or two from your paycheck and really dont have any money to go shopping or rent out a hotel room. It scares me that so many Americans blame the victim and turn a blind eye and deaf ear to Americans in need.
No, sorry, dear. It's her responsibility to
set and example of standards and intelligence because she's representing the company she's working for. She's a manager, not an owner and she's not paying anyone. She's on the payroll too and has the responsibility to make the company look professional and polished.
You're dead wrong on this one.
Your first responsibility is to YOUR kids. sm
Since it's obvious this other family is troubled, and also that they will not respect the rules of your family and household, you need to talk to YOUR kids.
They need to know they are safe, and that you will be responding, and they need to know HOW you will respond. Predators use some of the crap these kids are pulling, and your kids need to have an identity strong enough to remain KIND but NOT give in to the other kids' behavior.
I'm going to assume (ouch) that your kids are uncomfortable with the situation. Please let it be a teaching opportunity for them. They know the rules; why are the OTHER kids allowed to break your family rules? They want to be kind; can you teach them also to be FIRM?
Good luck. Your kids are your first priority. You may never even KNOW what in the world is going on with the other kids, let alone be able to do anything about it, but your kids will remember this episode for the rest of their lives, probably. Will they also remember how you taught them to understand and overcome?
Yes, I think it is a responsibility and I mad a promise...
to mom to not ever put her in a nursing home as a young 20-something. As an only child, I followed and kept that promise.
I cared for her for 6 years. It should have been more but I didn't realize she was going downhill so fast. I was very stressed out in her later years as she started to develop a lot of problems including memory problems, but when I look back, I would NEVER, EVER, change my mind. She was happy here with us and although she was having a lot of problems, the only thing I wished for was for her to be comfortable and happy. (She was in a nursing home temporarily for 2 months after she broke her hip and was very unhappy. This was sort of a test to see if she would like it, but she didn't.) I did everything necessary to make her comfortable in her last years.
It was hard, but I kept my promise even though every doctor told me to put her in a nursing home. Thank heavens, I worked for a great company that understood and allowed me to take as many breaks/days off as I needed to care for her. I would never have changed a thing even though I got very worn out during the end myself because she was almost totally bedridden. Still, I loved my mother with all my heart and still miss her even though she died 6 years ago.
I only hope my children would do the same for me unless i have Alzheimer disease. If a parent is unhappy at a nursing home, by all means do what is necessary to make their last days happy. After all, they raised us, and we should return that love.
You need to be patient, be a nurse, doctor, etc. for an elderly parent and if there is none, it could be very, very "unhealthy" for the parent and the child, but I feel we need to make sacrifices for our parents happiness in their later years as they sacrificed for us in our early years. After all, they are the only parents we had, andI I have NO regrets, knowing I did the best I could for her.
Sorry to ramble. I'm still grieving. I wanted her to live to be 100 if possible.We were really close all our lives.
and he as mayor of that city had no responsibility at all?
Such convoluted logic. Believe me, he's doing a great job of pointing the finger of blame and ducking responsibility on his own without any help from you.
collective work and responsibility?
thats insane
ultimately it's the hospital's responsibility but do you want to keep your job?
If you do, you'll make sure the hospital is happy. Not a lot you can do here unless you want to cut a deal with the hospital where you will have a sub work your account for you when you are off. That may or may not fly at the hospital. Another thing you can ask is that they hire a third person to work the account. Of course, that means you risk losing work if she wants more...
The doc who signs off on it has ultimate responsibility.

You chose IC status. Your responsibility. nm

and it is our responsibility to know the account specifics...

This is the responsibility of the MTSO, in my opinion. SM
Go directly to the transcription service or company owner. I have always felt strongly that the person in charge of the particular problem account must address this directly with the physician(s) who are dictating the garbage. For years, I had several local physician practices. Most were excellent dictators, but one in particular was horrible. I put up with it for a few weeks, and then addressed the problems with an outlined specification sheet indicating what information needs to be given in dictation to protect the safety of the patient record, as well as to produce an acceptable medical report. I also indicated that transcriptions requiring repetitive deletions, going back and changing dictation, and constant misspelled words would be charged a higher line rate. This is also the doctor who would give the filled in blanks back to be retyped. These were blanks that were completely inaudible in the original dictation because of excess noise, coughing while saying the words, or laughing with colleagues while trying to dictation. In bold, I also specified PLEASE DICTATE IMPORTANT PATIENT MEDICAL RECORDS IN A QUIET AREA THAT IS FREE OF EXCESS BACKGROUND NOISE TO ENSURE ACCURATE INFORMATION IS BEING RELAYED. If the owner of the transcription company had to type this work, trust me something would be addressed with the dictator. Speak up about this because after all you are the one responsible for producing the report.
Interesting and typical. Accept responsibility for nothing
He's a loser
There's always a reason. The question is is whether people are willing to take responsibility.
and what the heck does "variate" mean?
love and responsibility are sure left out of your assessment.

It's your responsibility to give them their documents on disk/CD!

bushies? Advocating personal responsibility
for one's actions is NOT a political party issue - it is a common sense issue!!! If bashing dishonesty and laziness offends you, then stay off this board. Sounds to me you are the same type of person this lazy slob is.
How about zillions of accounts. MQ has these accounts so overloaded even the new hires dont have any
work. I would love to read some of these reports and then they expect perfect QA and no blanks. Did they lose their minds completely.
I would take responsibility for my actions and I would not call citizens of the country
criminals if there is no evidence to hold them and I personally have no evidence to present to the law to hold them. I am not one for the spotlight even without grieving for the loss of my child. I certainly would not get up on world-wide TV and insult the people conducting the search and investigation for my missing child. And I would not be in the frame of mind to get all made up with glitter eye makeup and false eyelashes to tell other countries not to accept "criminals" who the legal system did not have evidence to hold. She is a loon.
These knee jerk bleeding heart liberals could not take responsibility for their
actions if it hit them in the face as it did with Mrs. Twitty. The Arubans are sick and tired of her and frankly so am I. Wash the makeup off your face, take off the false eyelashes and go grieve for your daughter.
thank you for responding...
It was just a thought. We also had that happen once out of the blue we got a check for $6+ dollars from some sort of law suit we signed up for regarding CDs...? It was just a form to fill out, we did, and we got some money back.
It was some kind of class action law suit someone must have filed, and we actually got a check.
Well, you all mentioned it will be explained soon. I worked for MQ in the late 1990s, then again last year, but have so far not gotten any letters (or money -smile). Would be nice though...
If it is by any chance the law suit, thank goodness for people who stand up when they know something is wrong, even it is not always 'popular.'
thanks a mil for responding
Now I'll explain why I asked: you said 13 to 15 cpl, so let's go for 14 cpl.
Take somebody overseas. They get, say, 3 cpl. The work needs editing, so they hire someone in this country to edit. What's the going rate for that? Maybe 4 cpl? So, between the two that's 7 cpl for the completed report.
If the person who is an Editor is "top drawer" (old expression for top of the line), the finished product will be of the same quality that you provided, transcribing the report by yourself.
So, if the quality of the report will ultimately be the same, and you were a hospital (or doctor), which would you spend: 14 cpl or 7 cpl?
From a hospital standpoint, with exorbitant costs, that's smart business. They can now use the savings for other things.
I'm not saying I agree with it, but that's what's going on.
Thanks for responding
very interesting...
Thank you so much for responding!!
I thought I was the only one...now I know it is just not me who has had this problem.
Thank you for responding sm
Hello and thank you. I have figured out that the F10 opens the shorthand menu but I am trying to figure out what the key would be to get to add a new word and okay it without using a mouse. I am so used to adding my autocorrect entries easily, alt the a (type word) tab over and enter. It is so quick to do that probably 3 seconds to create a word. I am trying to figure out how to not fumble with the mouse to actually create a new entry into shorthand. Any tips are greatly appreciated. THANKS
Add new entry to dictionary
Thanks to you all for responding!

I was responding to what the OP said about
?!
thanks for responding......sm
it's probably (I'm not there) a harmless garter snake or something....not a boa and not a cobra (reddish/orange/black as I remember from my NC days), and not a rattler I do not think.
Yes - snake is a snake is a snake - but I've know that they are sacred in certain cultures, and we are a multicultural country and so we shouldn't disrespect animals....especially when there are organizations to be called in to help.
Glad he/she is in hiding....if you're still scared, I'd call someone or ask a neighbor (not a scared neighbor) to help.
Neat little story to share: Last evening, I helped 2 people try to capture these 2 lttle parrots who had their wings clipped (apparently by someone who wanted to keep them) and who have been flying around my area for weeks to possibly months. I got a cat carrier and some sheets, and the 2 others, over some time, and with the sheets, got them into the cat carrier...
Now one of them wants to keep them and went and bought a huge cage/food/toys,etc.
It was a nice evening helping capture these 2 birds who really couldn't fly due to their wings were clipped, and only flew low (cars/traffic worry here). 
Thanks for responding
I was beginning to think nobody would.
I do believe that she actually lost the account, for a couple of reasons. First, I had been checking for work uploaded to the FTP, which I would normally be notified about if she were assigning any of the files to me, but was not seeing anything uploaded for about two or three weeks prior to her e-mail, and had been very little for about a month prior to. She definitely did not pull it due to edits on my end -- she would e-mail me on occasion asking if I could listen and fill-in for some of the other girls' blanks. Also, she never asked me to sign a contract, so that would not be a problem in this case. I just never would have attempted to get the account had she not lost it, with or without a contract.
Thanks for responding
My local hospital had a job opening and I checked it out and they were only paying 12.00 an hour, which is pretty bad considering the unit clerks were getting 13.50.
Thank you so much for responding (sm)
At this point, I do not have a lot of details. I have been talking to my brother and not my SIL. My brother, unfortunately, is not very good with details!
Another thing that I question is that the midwife told my mother she "pushed" the baby back up to slow down SILs labor before she sent them on their way. I have never heard of this, but again I am not a midwife or an OB, so maybe this is normal?
Thanks again for responding. I'm sure there are a lot of wonderful midwives out there and it sounds like you are one of them!
Thank you so much for responding...s/m
I have probably posted 4 times in the last 4 years here, but love gleaning information from all of the posts. ShortHand vs. Instant Text seemed to be a hot topic when I created these posts and I thought this info would benefit a lot of MTs.
With close to 200 views, I don't understand the lack of responses. 
Again, I really appreciate yours.
Thanks for responding ...
Actually I do believe you because unlike some of the other posts that I've seen your words have the ring of truth. You've presented three elements that I believe that the high income achievers that work for services have that are inherent to their success:
1. An account that is a good fit;
2. Hard work; and
3. Dumb luck.
Some of the posters try to come off as if they're just so wonderful and have such a strong work ethic, and that makes them differerent from the rest of the pack. You're presenting a realistic perspective that actually makes sense.
Thanks for responding!
Thank you so much for responding to my plea! I have repeatedly told the receiver the problems I have with my fax going through, but she says that no one else has any problem faxing to her. She does have a dedicated line. I have also faxed to her from another fax machine and it goes through, so I'm totally perplexed. As I said before, I can fax to anywhere else, but this one number. I really do appreciate your responding with your thoughts! I'm not very technically inclined when it comes to faxes and computers, etc. I just want them to work when I need them to! LOL!
Thanks for responding...
Thank you for the post, I was a little skeptical and think I will not bother.
The best KB I ever used was made for MAC, by Suntouch. I have tried everything in my power to find out where to get one for the PC but no luck.

Those look good. I didn't want active noise canceling, but passive -- which i may not get with this model, but i really like the looks of the headband as i do seem to have a sensitive scalp. Thanks again.
I'm not flaming, I'm responding.
These are very basic lab tests that anyone with training would have recognized. It really has absolutely nothing to do with me being born knowing everything. I'm not expecting a newborn to know medical transcription, but as a person seeking medical treatment I expect that my medical records will be professional and accurate. I worry that if people who cannot even recognize very basic medical terminology are doing VR, and VR is the future for medical transcription, there will be a high risk that medical records will be neither professional or accurate. If MTs are expected to speed through editing at reduced line rates and they can't even recognize basic terms, chances are great that they're not going to take the time to research or even ask about more complicated terms. Do you realize what these errors can mean in terms of insurance coverage, preauthorization, or pre-existing condition status? I fault the transcription companies more than the unskilled MTs for hiring them to begin with. They're putting them in the position to allow errors when they KNOW they aren't qualified - just because it's easier to hire them than experienced MTs. I don't fault the MTs for not knowing, I fault those allowing them to think that they're qualified to do this job when obviously they're not.
I was responding actually to DECENT MT
...rather than EXCELLENT MT.
:)
Nice attide, though.
I don't know companies that charge 18 to 20 CPL!!! The most I've heard of is 13. Who charges 18-20 CPL, please? And who are they sleeping with??? :)
I lie... I forgot that in mentioning sleeping with..... There was a surgical group whose director's wife started a service and charged her husband and his partners 18 CPL.
They now offshore to India, however.
I was responding to "whatever", not
to MQLover. If you read what "whatever" wrote, it is pretty screwed up. I haven't heard that since junior high school!
I'm sure his delay in responding is because he's
I hope he's not a MOLE....... DUM DA DUMMMMMM!
might be responding via a Blackberry, that's why...

Thanks Babe for responding....sm
Thanks for responding so quickly :) I don't know much about sole proprietorships except to say I file a schedule C for the private MDs and I do a regular 1040A for the national I work for. Speak to your CPA - you do live in NC and that's part of the SE region of the USA and maybe the laws coincide (are much the same). I don't know and I wish I could give you more info. Like I said, I take my 1099s and file a schedule C on my taxes at the same time I do a 1040A for the W2-W4 I receive from the national. It all works out and the IRS has never come after me. I'm very legal.
Be well hon and thanks again for the quick response.
Hi! Sorry I'm so late in responding SM
I have tons of entries (like 45,000+), but I never really learned how to do commands on it. I did learn this from someone though:
yow = {@KEY BkSp}-year-old woman
...it will go back one space and attach to the number. So,I type 20 yow and it expands out to 20-year-old woman....I have yoaaf, yoaam, yowf, yog, yob, yogent, yomn, etc. For instance:
yomn = {@KEY BkSp}-year-old man
the key is to use the {@KEY BkSp} before each expansion.
Hopefully this is what you were needing help with!

Thanks for responding..another question..
Have you tried making any contributions to the 401K since becoming an SE? I'm hoping to find something I can contribute to do I can save for retirement and at the same time reduce the amount of "profit" on my Schedule C and reduce my tax burden. Thanks!
A -ha! I should have realized. Thx for responding.
