to her about it twice and she is still doing it, then she probably will continue no matter what. I applaud your effort, but in most cases the docs don't straighten up. I imagine you know this and that's part of your frustration. I sure hope this one is an exception to that rule and you get to keep her. Good luck to you!

Well spoken.

hah, spoken like someone who NEVER sm
fell on really hard times.....until it happens to you, don't judge.
Spoken like someone who has no clue.
I have a bright idea for you. Go find your own accounts and charge them the rate that you feel you're so worthy of. I'm sure that if you get some takers at the rate you're asking, you won't have to worry about having too much work to do yourself so you won't have to worry about paying another MT the rate you're asking for.
spoken like a true Democrat

I agree! Not all thoughts need to be spoken. nm

NO PROB WITH ESLs WHO ARE WELL-SPOKEN - sm
since there are a lot of them who really put forth the effort to be understood; I don't mind being a little more patient with them. But the ones who KNOW their English sux and insist on rambling on a 78 rpm (as well as their American counterparts). What I would really like to ask them to do is to SPEAK LIKE YOU SPOKE AT YOUR JOB INTERVIEW WITH THE HOSPITAL. I'm sure they had no trouble being understood then. I'd still rather have a good ESL who's reallying trying than a sloppy US doctor - we KNOW he/she knows how to speak correctly; it's just carelessness. What are they going to do with the few extra seconds they save?
Most hospitals I worked at would not tolerate lousy dictators - and from my experience, mgmt. almost always sided with the MT. I even overhead one administrator tell a sloppy dictator to .."Either clean up your act or get someone else to dictate for you. We're not getting into a lawsuit bec. of your carelessness...and my desk is stacked with resumes.
MY PET PEEVE WITH ALL OF THE DICTATORS? PLEEEEZE take the 2-3 seconds it takes to SPELL ANOTHER DOCTOR'S NAME, esp. with a CC. I'm born knowing how to spell it, right? But I'm not jumping hoops looking it up ... just leave blank. They'll get the message.
But we know the MTSOs won't touch that subject. Better see US tear our hair out and loose $$ with s---y dictators than confront the client.
Spoken like a true healthcare professional.
Spoken like true "suit". All about the bottom line,

I still work there and so do many others who have spoken to attorneys. See link inside for numbers.

Spoken from the true heart of a company owner (inside)
we read all kinds of things on this site. Most of it terrible things that are done to us. Companies making gross amounts of money over our backs and to spend it buying other companies for gross amounts of money. This company knew what they were doing long before they did it, don't tell me or anyone they didn't. They never even considered this woman let alone knew she was having surgery. You guys don't think that way. You don't see our faces and feel whatever you do to make a profit justifies the means. I am not a religious person but I do know what goes around comes around. Chew that.
As far as "preparing ourselves," how do you do that when pay is low, you have to work umteen hours for a halfway decent line count, and then get let go at Christmas time?
As far as short-sightedness? What is astounding is you would even say such a thing as you are probably sitting by a Christmas tree done done by Neiman Marcus. It is hard to save any money with what is happening to the transcriptionists today.
Do not answer this with attacking me. I don't answer trivial, cruel people.
