In Reply to: "Oh, I could do that..." sm - arrrghh!!
by my own brother. He said that I should find a job that required some thinking. Hmmmmm. People just seem to assume that all we do is sit at a computer and type mindlessly all day long! :(

I just simply told you where to find your answer.
If you're so sensitive and need to be handfed, perhaps you need to call support or something.
Haven't tried it yet, but my son told me you can actually "fly" around and find places - he
flying all over the "old neighborhood", finding the old ball field he used to play it, his old grammar school, etc. etc.

I told you once, I told you twice, eTransPlus is going down the drain!
Don't expect communication from anyone, we are only little "peons."
oh please. Put in a brain. Unfortunately your
type of thinking is very common in our field.
No, you are not required to do this. (see m)
However, be sure to deduct the portion of your electric bill, heating bill, et cetera that apply to the square footage of your office. These will not trigger any depreciation reclamation on sale.
The only way you get into trouble on selling the home is if you have deducted a portion of the mortgage payment as a business expense. That's the only time depreciation would enter the equation. Stay away from that and you will have no problems.
IC not required
Also not required if hiring an IC. You can get your own private disability insurance. Some business insurance will also cover this for sole proprietorships.
I am required to have one. sm
The county that I live in requires me to have a business license since I am an IC and considered self-employed. Doesn't cost much and is tax deductible.

Yes it is required
Believe me or don't. I really do not care. I didn't post here to be burned at the stake. I was asking for opinions and I am sorry that I did. I cannot change doctors as our insurance states where we must go and we have few choices.
go to chat room on web site and find out. i'm working but if you find out, let me know.
creepy dude.
Brain surgery... ha....sm
when I thing of some of the doctors I've known over the years, we could probably learn brain surgery before they could learn transcription !
If he had a brain, he'd take it out and play with it

Who needs to use the other side of the brain?
Life is complicated enough for us guys! 
open your pea brain :)
he comes from the ghetto, his family still lives in the ghetto, he's trying to help kids in the ghetto......and you want him in a TIE, TUX, and TAILS? He is dancing for a charity. That's all he's there for. To get $$ toward his charity of helping kids in and around the ghetto.
Perhaps you want him to dress like the late Fred Astaire?
Get real.................
Brain spazzm...
Eh, those adapters really were ''gender changers'' (or gender *and* type changers). Maybe something more like this (what I'd do anyway, if needing to frequently plug and unplug any USB device ... an extender would make that much easier, too):

Ischium now in the brain?!!!
Had to take my son yesterday for a CT of his right ischium, to check for osteomyelitis. I gave that info to the person on the phone when I made the appointment. Soooo - get to the imaging place, and get all the myriad forms to fill out; at the top, under 'Test Performed', was 'CT scan of the brain'. I went back up to the desk to question this of the secretary (who is a retired nurse!!), and she looked at me and actually said 'The ischium is in the brain' '!!!!!!!!!! Told hubbie later, and he said I should have told her, not unless my head was up my ***!
I'm sure the techs would have caught it when they looked at the script from the doc, but still!!!!
brain is not working, the 15% was only the SE tax- sm
still need to pay your state and federal on top of that. I have not sat down and actually figured that out by itself, need to do that though.
Don't know where my brain is today - sm
I am drowning in work, have 200 minutes due by Monday and I am not used to doing more than 60 minutes a day. But I guess 200 rolls of nickels is a bit much, $400, I think a roll is $2.00- but depending on the person they will need at least 50-100 rolls. That is a lot of nickels!
Thanks. The brain gives me problems too (sm)
(in Radiology), but Google helps. Stedman's Radiology book is great, with all the CTs, MRIs and PET scans of the head. I'm pretty sure it would help with some head-related Neurosurg.
Since when does anybody get respect for their brain?
I have always "felt unappreciated, underpaid, misunderstood, disrespected, ignored, or taken advantage of as a medical transcriptionist", AND as a typist or clerical staff. Its the way the cookie crumbles since I'm not a VIP with a suit on and a bunch of fancy letters after my name.
Oh, yeah, I've also felt all that as a wife or girlfriend, because I didn't have the wonderful appendage that causes one to think they're automatically entitled to the best of everything.
On the other hand, I always felt relieved that I didn't have the stress of being as high profile as the more important folk out there. Like, I'm not the first one they want to sue or pick a fight with, you see.
I don't mind being one of the powers behind the throne. When I first got into the medical field, it put me in mind of those birds that get on large animals like hippos and pick off their parasites and eat them. The hippo probably doesn't like carrying a bird on its back all day, but that bird improves its general situation, so it stays. I suppose that's how all the doctors and CEOs see us, as a necessary evil. These days, the hippos want to try electronic flea collars (think VR) and other methods to see if they can get the bird off their back. Sooner or later they will find that the bird isn't so bad, after all.
Once upon a time I thought there was an advocate for MTs - known as AAMT. They got greedy and bailed, huh?. Unions are greedy. Everyone is greedy. 
In another incarnation, I had a high-paying job where I was a unionized clerical worker. I paid big dues to the UAW. When I needed them, they pretty much bailed, just like an insurance company or the government will do. They want to take from the group, but they don't want to give to the individual. I don't really believe in any organization any more, they've never done diddly for me but made a bunch of empty promises and found loopholes when it was time to make good on them. I'd rather just be a free bird, flying to the hippo that can feed me best.
brain cramp!
Thanks!
half a brain...
Again... I am not trying to win any friends or make any enemies. If you are happy and have no complaints, that is wonderful. I was observing and making comments. Half a brain was not meant as a cut to anyone, simply a figure of speech.
No notice required
Since you are still in the learning the job stage just inform them that you are resigning effective immediately. Usually the first 90 days are a trial with employee and employer and no one should take offense. They could let you go with no reason either.
ALL dictators should be required to take a
dictation class taught by an experienced MT. This would surely help this problem.
Exp. not required, but recommended.
Actually, AAMT has restructured the CMT exam, and MTs are no longer required to have 2 years of experience to sit for the exam. However, they strongly recommended to have at least 2 years of experience in the acute arena.
Check out the AAMT web site - they are working on a new certification exam that is geared more towards those new to the field and new graduates. I believe this is the RMT credential already discussed here. According to the web site, those eligible are recent graduates, MTs with less than 2 years' acute experience, and MTs working in single- or multi-specialty clinics.
Hope that helps....

Unfortunately, the license is required sm
I have never had to have one, but the clinic I am going to work for requires it. It is a lot of hassle, and I can't wait until it's over and done with :)
Are you required to keep a log sheet?
Im just wondering if this is common. I have to keep a log sheet on my current account and it is a big PITA and waste of time and money.
I'm not required to but I do and thank goodness! sm
I've received emails over the last two days from doctor's offices asking about missing reports. I had sent the reports they were missing...I just sent them again...QA said it was probably on their end...well it would have to be, because I had everything completed that I was assigned and turned in before the required time.
Lines required for FT
Hello. I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of how many lines companies are requiring at minimum per an 8-hour day. From a few of the ads and my last "in-house" job, it looks like they are asking for about 1200 lines a day equaling 6000 per week. Does anyone know if this is about the average? I am researching this to know what to discuss with a local physician regarding transcribing his work. Thanks to all for any information. Have a great week. L. Dickin 
Lines required for FT
Thank you for responding.
If you are required 8 hours a day on each job, and are
alternating back and forth you are not working each job 8 hours, more like 4 on each.
Required overtime
Advice needed! Boss is pushing for us to do overtime, but the last time I worked overtime I got paid LESS than a regular check!!! It all went to taxes, and the way they calculate holidays, etc. So, I told her for this reason, I don't think it's fair for me to work overtime. She said, "Too bad for you, but we are backlogged, and everyone needs to pitch in." I want to be a teamplayer, but working for "free" really gets me down. Especially when I do at least 600 extra lines every day! Please help me handle this tactfully.
A SS card has ALWAYS been required
for jobs--if nothing else, to verify it for tax purposes. Go to your local SS office and apply, have to do it in person as they require ID.
Anyone required to have bus. license...sm
to work as IC? Was going to work for company, but require I have a business name and license. Also pay per page and not per line. Never ran across this before.
The state is PA and yes it IS required here.
Breast exams are required for driver's permits now in my state. They have been for several years now.

I dont know the first thing about transcribing files "digitally" Any instructions would be really appreciated!
Thanks ya'all!
What is "O" work? I'm racking my brain trying to

anything....
you're right, my brain foot, will need to buy
a cable that will convert 9 pin to USB successfully.
My son also had a traumatic brain injury
Please let me know if you do find the answer to your question. My son, who lives with his father, has become a drug addict. He will not return to school or work; he is only interested in getting his SSI check and whatever else he can get from the government and everybody else. Please let me know if you have any answers. I do know that I went to college with a learning disability (ADHD), and I not only asked the professors to put me in the front and center seat but also had free tutoring for math classes when I needed it (I kept losing my glasses). They offer free tutoring through Student Services for a variety of handicaps. Good luck!
sorry - it's bellsouth.......*lol* - brain stalled..nm
