In a perfect world, dues would be enough; however, the Olympics is not about dues, it's about sm

winning. There are lots of athletes through the years I rooted for who were good but not good enough. Is Michelle good enough? Should she bump another more talented younger athlete from the team? Sentimentally, yes. Realistically no.

I did pay my dues
I did pay my dues but got into this when it was a good field to pick up own accounts and they have stayed with me, some for 18 years. But through this I have a few that did not pay, was not the right fit, etc. But now I pick up the little accounts, 1 to 2 docs with tapes still but it has treated me good. I still fight traffic once a day (I chose the time of the day) but I enjoy getting out of the house and seeing the gals at the office. I have 6 to 7 years full-time until I can quit and then will do part-time. I know it could change tomorrow and so that is why I appreciate what I have today. I have learned that I worry too much about tomorrow and was not enjoying today and changed this a year or two ago. I put in about 35 hours a week with pick up and delivery, have two part-time IC's.
are you current with your dues?
'Nuff said.
Everyone must pay their dues....we experienced MTs sm
worked in the office in the beginning of our career. I am not as old as one might think, 38 years old, but I started MT while still in high school in the 10th grade on a typewriter. I paid my dues many times over before I could have a career at home. I have to tell you, the experience and knowledge gained in that time is priceless. Yes, we learn something new every day, but in the office you have the doctors, nurses, OMs, and other MTs to offer their assistance. If you don't know a word or can't understand it, you go right to the doc himself. So, the next time you hear it, you know what the heck he/she was talking about. That is how you learn. Sorry to say it, but an office job or MT job in one specialty is where you should start. These schools tell you that you can work at home after you finish their course. That just is an outright untruth!
Just had to give my 10 cents worth.
Sounds like union tactics, dues and all.

They have to make money somehow since they have declining membership dues. nm

And how much do you pay out of pocket for AHDI dues? And required CEUs?

In a perfect world..
I really feel for you. I am extremely jaded when it comes to this type of situation. Maybe the new service is a great company, maybe they mean to do the right thing. Without an inkling of further information, there is no question that the new service wants to have their cake and eat it too -- They do not deserve a loyal employee of all those years unless they are willing to pay for the benefit of having seasoned and quality people. Having quality continuity helps them point out to the client how smooth the transition will be, blah, blah, blah (unless of course this change is being made because of quality issues in the first place). I'm sure someone reading this is thinking about how "grateful" you should be. Sorry, this is business and this is all about making money which is what the new service will do without interruption by sucking as many good MTs in that are already experienced on this account. MTs overall have already lost tremendous ground because we do not allow ourselves and demand the credit and value we deserve.
Yes, Cobra is hard on the wallet, but you can stop Cobra at any point which puts you in control especially during this transition. I'd have to take every single factor, pro and con, and go over it with one thought in mind - What will this new company do for me - money, benefits, scheduling/time, work environment, and changes to my working lifestyle?
Yes it would be a perfect world
if only *your* viewpoint was enough.
In a perfect world....
We should all be so lucky, so perfect, so productive and never have to look anything up or double check any spelling, address, etc.
Can't imaging what your QA looks like when you type 100 miles per hour nonstop and never stop to breathe.
Yikes!!!
In a perfect world..now that they know "pickers" can't cut it..
the ones (namely YOU) who have to sit all day and do these reports. Has this ever been posed to the company? (By the way, Yes, I do live in a dream world!)
Ah, yes...a perfect world...wouldn't THAT be nice...
After way too many years as an MT, those things no longer phase me.  At least most of my docs say "sorry" when they pause way too long, burp, re-track, etc. And I don't mind . . . no way . . .  <<<<< insert dictator here.
In a perfect world, the mobile devices will work perfectly..
It will only take a few big money malpractive suits and lawsuits against hospitals for this standardized text and free text to be proven to be inadequate documentation. Do you honestly believe Joint Commission and insurance companies will relax their standards for health care documentation? I could be very wrong, but I'm not throwing in the towel yet.
Kwan to the Olympics
No, she should not be allowed to go. She has done the minimum to get by and doesn't like the new judging system, hmmm, I wonder why. You others should really learn something about skating, not just personality. The Kwan bobbleheads!
you know as couples go, angelina and billy bob were perfect skanks for each other. perfect!
i suspect they may get back together because they are both so skanky no one else can keep up. that is unless she decides she wants her brother more which is skankier.
Should Michelle Kwan go to the Olympics
She has been injured all year. She did not compete at nationals and she is requesting a bye onto the olympic team. She should be allowed to compete and take the spot away from a young, deserving skater that did compete?
No, unless a hurricane is on its way, the Olympics are on, or news like today's. nm

But perhaps you should! Eye are not perfect! (as above)
A second look never hurts!
perfect
well i'm glad you've never made a mistake or wrong decision in your life. you have no idea what went through his head while he was there, and you have no idea what his situation was, or how he was feeling or anything. i wish my husband could be as perfect as you. ha, but then he would also be heartless.
Of course, nobody is perfect
but when your rate of pay depends on your QA score and you have endless pages of style guides to memorize, then one would expect the QA people to already know all of that information. I have done QA in the past as well and what I didn't remember, I would look up and many times learned things from the MT!!
Perfect!! Thanks so much.
Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for.
Have a great day

perfect job for me.... sm
Why? Because I love this job and doing it from home just makes it so much better. I get to work in my jammies without makeup, deciding what to wear, traffic, long lines at the donut shop, fighting for the optimal parking spot, office politics, the boss's "favorite", backstabbing, nit picking, monitored bathroom breaks and phone calls, etc. I do acute care for a large hospital and every report is different. It keeps my brain motivated and my fingers moving. It ain't perfect, but I love it.
Lee Perfect
I like how a transcription company can't spell transcribing....lol.
Perfect example of why we need QA ... it is
Truly laughing out loud here!
Lee Perfect
Hi was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about this company. Thanks.
lee perfect
do a search on Company Board, not under Google, but under MTStars. They use Emdat platform, which a lot of people do not like. I feel there is a turnover there, as the same jobs are advertised always. They are IC.
I don't get it, either. If we were all perfect,

Perfect VR/ASR
Remember that the better it gets, the less you will be needed.
PERFECT!!!
Thank you so much!!! You have no idea (or maybe you do) how excited I am about this!!! I just started using Word about 6 months ago and I have been cursing the fact that I have had to get used to using my arrow keys to get around the templates. BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!
This is a perfect example of why
we are losing our jobs. After 7 years you still don't understand the terminology? Oh Vey!
Wow! That is perfect!
That is exactly what I need. May I copy it and use it? You are so helpful!
No one is perfect
I had a doctor tell me that he got a report back with fecal sac. He laughed when he told the story. It can happen to the best of us. Try not to let it get you down.
Perfect Transcription, LLC
Anyone have any info on this company?
Ms. perfect? Confused? SM
Watch out, now you have really insulted her!!
THE PERFECT SOLUTION....sm
I interviewed for a company a while back whose method for discouraging cherry picking was to dock their paycheck by $5.00 for every report they cherry picked !  ha.. love it !!
in other words, the perfect job!
sorry to burst your bubble! I have, however, been on the same acct for over four years, but it runs scant these days, so I am on another acct, but I'm finally getting used to it. Can't use many macros though, cause very rarely have the same doc. How 'bout when you find "that" job, let us all know where it's at!!! Have a good day!  Hey, what happened to winky!!!
Its working perfect for me
AAAMT.COM is a perfect solution for me
Three reasons
Accurate, Accessible, Affordable.
I need to save something. I found this aaamt inc is the MT company for my practice after I fired 15 Mt companies over 6 years. I am using them for 2 years, no other charges, HIPPA comliant and charge only 5.9 cents.
GoodLuck
yes, yes, yes, love it, perfect job

Hey everyone, I need the perfect cure....
My son has been up since 3 a.m. vomiting and diarrhea, could be a good old battle with the flu. What can I give him to help soothe his stomach? Pepto Bismol didn't help at all, so I need any good ideas on what could stop the churning stomach. Thanks.
perfect cure
Emetrol - OTC antiemetic for nausea - It works MAGICALLY!
what a perfect comparison
If I had pictured you as anybody that would have been the perfect choice, quirky, funny and cute in the boy next door way.
Perfect!...I'm printing this and
memorizing it! Thank you, thank you! This makes so much sense (and with the symphathetic face/tone). It's hard to think straight and think of this when I'm the one in the situation. I'll let you all know how she takes it. Thanks again.
Word Perfect
Does anybody on here use word perfect? I am a new grad, and a company says they will hire a new grad if I have word perfect and and a wave player. Any input would be good.
word perfect sm
Did anyone notice that since Dell has been having price reductions they are now offering Word Perfect instead of Word for Windows? How can you test/take a position with a new computer which has Word Perfect if the hiring company is using Microsoft Word? Just another fly in the ointment. How does one deal with this?
Word Perfect
Yes I have used word perfect since the 80's. Last year when we rebuilt my computer the newest version gives a choice of using word perfect or MS word . I prefer word perfect in many ways. Try it you will love it. I use it for other clients to create logos. It has a photo storage to create posters and brochures for example pictures of work my husband has done on worksites that actually show the quality of his work, his creativity and custom work. Steadmans also has a medical speller that can be added.

I thought VR would never be that perfect but
I am totally shocked that it does much, more more than I ever thought it could. On the worst, English and ESL dictators sometimes it comes out almost letter perfect. What I like is some of the medicines I do not know, VR has them down pat. What is really strange is I think it sometimes does better with some of the worst ones and then falters on easier ones but having said that, you still have to have human ears to listen thru all that because a cough, sneeze, crunch, something dropping in the background, just outside noise, will cause it to provide its own words and OMG, they are a hoot then. I really love it and I was not a believer at first.
Nobody said perfect, just not a slob
be for real... editors know there are some corrections and blanks but some MTs take advantage and as QA are paid by the line, this is unfair.
Nana, U are a perfect example...
of all that was wrong with this site B4 - negative, repetitive bashing for no reason other than boredom, I guess. It's interesting how this site has become a whole lot more informative and fun to come to now that all of us horrible "banned" people have come back - in fact, I wear my banning by what's her name as a badge of honor! So please do enjoy her new site - and we'll enjoy ours, mmmkay?
