I was just saying that same thing yesterday!
So, I am not the only one who has noticed the recent drop in line rate. These newer transcriptionists with their "better than nothing" attitude don't get it. We are not complaining about our wages so much as the fact that these wages have GONE DOWN in the last 10 years or so. When I worked at home in the 1980s I made 10 cents a line. After working in-office for many years and within the last year going back home to work because I moved to another state and there were no in-office jobs, I was absolutely horrified to be offered 8 cents a line from the first national I applied for (Medquist).

Again, the rates are taking a nosedive down!!

I asked him the same thing yesterday.
He didn't answer. Maybe he's an ESL doc trying to learn the language, LOL.
I was thinking the same thing....
A big bacon cheeseburger with hot wings on the side.  All my favorite meat groups.
LOL, I was thinking the same thing!
Too much information, thanks.

Thinking the same thing.

I could have written your post except that I have not applied yet to the accel BSN program and don't want to do perioperative nursing (I'm more in line with the poster down below who wants to work in an outpatient setting).


Good luck to you.  I thought I would like working alone at home, but I miss being around people.


I have been thinking the same thing...
I was going to post one, but have hesitated. Then I was on another MT board the other night, lurking, and read that this board actually edits not only posts, but who gets to pay and browse their resumes. So, the discussion was that anyone posting their resume here should be aware that their choices are being limited as many companies are denied access for personal reasons with the board owner. So....that made me nervous and have not posted to date.
I was thinking the same thing myself, well said. NM

Yes - I was thinking the same thing (sm)
When my little brother called this afternoon, I told him that I thought it was a little strange that she sent them to a hospital without calling them first, especially in an emergency situation. I also told him that I thought the midwife should be with them unless, of course, she has another patient in labor. I probably shouldn't have said anything to him right now about it. I guess I was just a little stunned. I told him though that it sounded like they were in very good hands now and I was very relieved the baby and sis in law are being monitored now. I will update when I hear more news. I wonder how I can find out or get any information on this woman's credentials?
Sorry, but the last thing I'd be thinking about if

calling a friend/relative at whatever time of day/night saying "Hey, I am rushing my child to the emergency room - I don't have time to explain but how about you call my job". 


First and foremost, my child would be the only thing of concern to my family/friends.  Even getting them to call MY job in a situation like that wouldn't happen. 


People need more compassion.  Luckily the person I work for is very compassionate and would probably smack me up along side the head for putting work before a baby in distress.

I was thinking the same thing. I am 43 and
considering going to back to school. I want to be an OR nurse or anesthetist.
I was thinking the same thing as AgingMT
I noticed the topic has been closed out but just keep us updated as to how you are doing. You said some pretty scary stuff like not wanting to be here and things like that. I also think you should seek out someone to talk to other than us because we are not able to talk to you freely and we are not qualified and might say the wrong thing. Yet we care and want to know you are okay. A lot of us are closet counselors and want the best for you. It could be that we are older or it could be we have been there before. I am 44 so you could almost be my child.

You can be picky about who you choose to counsel you, maybe an older woman would feel more comfortable.

Definitely agree with Jan and some of the other posters. You obviously have the brains to succeed but it takes a healthy mind as well. Depression can hinder anyone's success regardless of having the know how or brains to succeed. So the focus should definitely be managing the depression first. Drinking would get in the way of this even as recreational I would steer clear for now. Post on mental health or christian so maybe your post won't be deleted or replies blocked.

I'm Christian so my prayers go out to you but totally respect other faiths and belief systems.

I was thinking the same thing before reading your post!

Thanks everyone! Good thing I asked, as I was thinking of 2-3 weeks! Yikes.
Thanks again.  I think I will give them one month and hopefully if they find someone sooner they will let me go on my way. (what a relief that will be too!)  Thanks!
Speaking of Kenny Chesney, is anyone thinking what I am thinking? see message
When I hear the words, "annulment" and "fraud" in the same sentence, I can only think of one thing.  Anybody else thinking the same thing?
Yesterday
They just billed it yesterday, the day of my new statement, that's why I got an over-the-limit fee tacked on, too .  Thanks so much for your support.  It really helps to have kind, supportive people helping me.  Thank you!
That was me yesterday, except it took me
14 hours off and on to get 1,000 lines in.  TMI = too many interruptions  I can't wait for school to start again.  LOL
Actually, it was yesterday, but still

Had one yesterday
that kept saying "post stop" after every sentence.

The first time I thought she said postop, until she kept saying it and it dawned on me that she was saying "post stop" when she was finished with that sentence.
I saw that one yesterday...sm
person must be OM and not transcriptionist...what an easy mistake!! lol.
Bet you are from yesterday

The one from yesterday also mentioned the infection aspect so perhaps you are just using a different name.  If you call the board, you will never work again as you are breaching confidentality and referring a patient to PT is not life threatening.  It might get the patient out of the house and do a lot emotionally and psychologically.  The doctor at least has not given up on him and trying to give him the best life possible and if PT can keep those muscle moving and so on, go for it.   I think it is time for you to find another profession is this is bugging you.  As for your grandmother, the doctor was hoping it would motivate her and he was trying not to allow her to just sit there and let everything atrophy as it seems the family was happy doing.  


 


Had a guy yesterday who...
said, "Okay, I have to spell this one."  Don't remember the word at the moment, but it was  thhhiiiiiiiiisssssss llllllooooonnnnggggg.  When he was done, he laughed and said, "How did anyone come up with a name that long anyway?"
I had one yesterday (ESL)
Who kept saying over and over in the report "assenbanger". After I stopped laughing, I did some investigation and it turned out she was really saying "Eisenmenger" syndrome.

Lovely, huh? :-)
yesterday I had

a 30-minute report that only counted to 142 lines.  I was really miffed.  Dictate a sentence.  Pause for 15 seconds.  Go back and change the last sentence, just say blah blah blah.  Pause for 15 seconds.  Dictate another sentence, stumbling mid-sentence while trying to collect thoughts.  Pause for 15.  Decide you didn't like that sentence after all and ask me to change it.  Over and over and over.  An ESL to boot.   


I felt like I was trapped in some strange time warp in the twilight zone.  It really messed with my mind.   


I was just wondering yesterday
what happened to them.  Hadn't heard anything about it in a few weeks.  Seems like all they talk about is Aruba.  Wonder where the little boy is!!
My doctor did tell me that yesterday....sm

thanks for reconfirming, I wasn't sure if I believed it. He even told me not to let the girls wash their hair everyday, which I knew wasn't good for other reasons but they do anyway.


It's still one of those things that makes you want crawl in a hole and hide. I hope the looks blow over soon.


Yesterday and all the other old stuff.
Not to worry.  No depression here.  I just think it's a beautiful song.
My 40th b-day was yesterday and .....
I have no wrinkles, no stretch marks, no gray in my hair and no extra weight. My chest is still where it was when I was 21 in spite of having three children. I wear a bikini at the beach (with a belly ring) and feel comfortable and confident doing it.

I have an agreement with my husband (who has superb taste in clothing and style)--if I ever dress in something that makes me look like I'm trying too hard, or in something that is unflattering or inapproriate for my age, he will tell me the truth. And he has been true to his word.

The true test for me on whether I can carry it off sucessfully is seeing 25-year-old men (and younger) take a second and third look with genuine appreciation and admiration. I hope that doesn't sound like a sexist remark as it is not intended to be; I simply think that women tend to judge other women's appearances based upon their own insecurities and maybe a bit of envy.

I feel, act and look younger at 40 than I did at 30. In my opinion, it all has to do with how you feel about yourself and how comfortable you are in your own skin.

I applaude women who take care of themselves and can wear younger, sexier styles with confidence.
Ours jumped yesterday
from $2.49 to $2.72. Don't know what it jumped to today. I saw that $2.99 on the news in Cedar Rapids-guess it isn't so bad yet in my small town.
well, they called me yesterday, but (sm)
I wasn't here.  So, she left a message, stating that if I had any questions regarding the new plan, I could call them back.  I aint even gonna bother...just see what happens when it happens.  But, if anyone else does talk with them, I'd love to know what they have to say! Good day all!
WHAT? SO YOU WANT US TO FORGET YESTERDAY?

I had the Administrator look at it yesterday. (SM)
Yes, it appears someone is posting boatloads of recipes.

The ForumMatrix is open to anyone.


Did not yesterday, but did today.

Could not access because the usual icon was not on my bar, and when I clicked on "My Yahoo", "mail" was not there.  I had to go the long way around. 


Thanks. Saw it yesterday and sent my resume.
:-)
I watched CNN yesterday almost all day, just

willing those miners to walk out, but knowing that wasn't likely to happen based on the fact that there was no apparent debris that could be blocking them in.  I celebrated with the families when word was circulated that 12 were alive.  I called my DH at work and cried like a baby.    I was numb after the news came that only 1 survived.   I kept hearing stories about how the miners were coming to meet their families at the church, a Red Cross person said the miners were fighting about going to the hospital, that they wanted to see their families, and after the ambulance went out I waited and waited wanting desperately to see those men walk out.  


 


Were you born yesterday?
Please state what you KNOW and back it up by naming the facility.
So, what was the average MT age from yesterday?
Does anyone know yet?
just yesterday inquired
and i didn't get asked any of those questions. But we've a real small town bank too -- maybe that makes a difference.
Me too! A new line came out yesterday!

I went on just yesterday and omigosh...

first I looked through the teens, then I did a search for men 35-45 - what a revelation. A bunch of self-centered, self absorbed, superficial, sad, sad people. Anything from a sicko who called himself wetpantywipe and who was looking for other men with bare bottoms to rub up against, to self-inflated egotists. Of course, every guy made $150-000-$200,000. One guy, in the section for My Places, actually posted his resume. He had worked 18 places in the last 9 years. No duh - kind of a red flag there, buddy!  And then the "mail" these guys would get from their women "friends." All kinds of suggestive nearly nude pseudopaintings, the kind of things you see in the Harley shop, where they have a Barbie figure and a model's face and a horse's mane. Wearing a pearl necklace. That's all. With suggestive sayings about cherries, etc.  From a bunch of old skanks who never looked like that even when they were 18. And you can also send a little video, so they send videos with (actual) nude women's breasts bouncing around. One skanky sweetheart trying to get a guy's attention sent a little video of a white woman at the edge of pool naked with a black man's face in her you-know-what and his free hand rubbing her breast - full frontal nudity and all. "I thought THIS would get your attention! LOL" she writes. At 4:30, 'bout every profile lit up with "on line now!" "on line now!"  What a waste of electricity. One peek was more than enough for me.


I saw his wife yesterday. Don't know where
you get the overweight.  Sure she isn't rail thin, but hardly fat.   Chris is a local guy.  There has been talks for weeks that he didn't really want to win because he would be tied to contracts for a year.  He has a family and doesn't want to travel.  Look at the year Ruben won.  Clay was second and he has been more successful than Ruben, so I don't see not winning is going to hurt Chris.  Personally I don't think he can sing, he can scream, but he sounds like a moose in heat to me and I think he'll soon fade into the spotlight.  I have better things to do with my time than watching AI so I don't now about the others, though I did see a clip of Taylor on our local Fox news and I thought he could sing and he had a wonderful personality and is very comfortable in the spotlight, something Chris doesn't seem comfortable with. 
Yesterday, I did 45 minutes in
an hour (that was my average through the day).
I just got through telling someone yesterday
what I do and they said what I have heard umpteem times before: "Hey, I can do that, too." ARGH!
Yesterday morning I could not get in but its been

Yesterday, I Cried.
Yesterday, I Cried

By Iyanla Vanzant

Yesterday, I cried.
I came home, went straight to my room, sat on the edge of my bed,
kicked off my shoes, unhooked my bra,
and I had myself a good cry.
I'm telling you,
I cried until my nose was running all over the silk blouse I
got on sale.
I cried until my ears were hot.
I cried until my head was hurting so bad
that I could hardly see the pile of soiled tissues lying on
the floor at my feet.
I want you to understand,
I had myself a really good cry yesterday.
Yesterday, I cried,
for all the days that I was too busy, or too tired, or too mad
to cry.
I cried for all the days, and all the ways,
and all the times I had dishonored, disrespected, and disconnected
my Self from myself,
only to have it reflected back to me in the ways others
did to me
the same things I had already done to myself.
I cried for all the things I had given, only to have them stolen;
for all the things I had asked for that had yet to show up;
for all the things I had accomplished, only to give them
away, to people in circumstances,
which left me feeling empty, and battered and plain
old used.
I cried because there really does come a time when the only thing left
for you to do is cry.
Yesterday, I cried.
I cried because little boys get left by their daddies;
and little girls get forgotten by their mommies;
and daddies don't know what to do, so they leave;
and mommies get left, so they get mad.
I cried because I had a little boy, and because I was a little girl, and
because I was a mommy who didn't know what to do, and
Because I wanted my daddy to be there for me so badly until
I ached.
Yesterday, I cried.
I cried because I hurt. I cried because I was hurt.
I cried because hurt has no place to go
except deeper into the pain that caused it in the first place,
and when it gets there, the hurt wakes you up.
I cried because it was too late. I cried because it was time.
I cried because my soul knew everything I needed to know.
I cried a soulful cry yesterday, and it felt so good.
It felt so very, very bad.
In the midst of my crying, I felt my freedom coming,
Because
Yesterday, I cried
with an agenda.




Yesterday, I cried
So, like what is this a poem or something?????
I paid $1.95 for gas yesterday. What about you?
Glad it's coming down!!!
