My experience leading to my hypothesis....sm
The same ones who think their reports are more important than everyone else's, and who therefore make EVERY chart a STAT, are the same docs who also believe that they cannot be bothered to speak slowly for us dumb typists, that their time is more important and they have better things to be doing than stupid dictation.
Does anyone think all of this with MQ is leading to a sellout next year. Just curious if anyone has
heard any rumors.
Women like you are the main ones who have men leading double lives (sm)
or running around with your best friend, and you are the last one to know it. Keep your patronizing attitude. If you are in a relationship where you THINK THINK THINK you can trust your man, then that's wonderful and more power to you. But I hope you aren't headed for a fall.
I would not give up that information freely either. That is what gives you the leading edge for cli
You are not a horrible person.
Do not be so free to give your business information out to anyone - it will cost you in the long run. It is a good business decision.
INDIA WILL CONTINUE LEADING US-BEEN OVERSEAS AND SEEN POVERTY!!!!!
 So many of us do not know what it is like to live in poverty. India is still divided between the rich and poor. Consequently, that leaves the so many of the poor to work like dogs just to support themselves and their extended family members. I am tired of everyone talking about the Indian MTs. We need to be in their shoes also. All and all, AMERICA IS THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE!!!!! THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY!!!!
blind...
Well, I think you have too much negative emotion against this woman.
First of all, you are free to feel any way you want to about anyone.
Secondly, how do you know what has gone down in Aruba? Natalee's parents have been down there for several weeks. Have you ever even been to the island?
Thirdly, chances are the Aruban legal authorities would have let those guys go even if there was evidence. Not every place has American-style legal proceedings. Besides, chances are the Aruban authorities know these kids or even related to them in some way. It is a very small place.
Fourthly, I would be mad as hell if my child disappeared off the face of the earth and I would not rest nor would I let anyone else rest, until I had some answers.
I see said the blind man
THAT is why I couldn't get my adaptor wihout a game port switch from RS to work. I bought an adaptor at RS for about $43 but never could get it to work so I took it back. When I went to the RS web site to find one like I have now (with the switches on it), their site was temporarily shut down. I'll try again.
Blind MT -- yes
When I worked as a secretary for Social Work Dept at a Catholic Hospital, a nun was a social worker and she was blind. Prior to getting her MBA in social work she had worked at the hospital as an MT and that was when we were using typewriters and not computers. As a social worker she had someone read the charts to her and she typed as that person read and believe me she made way less mistakes than I did. I always forrgot that she was blind and when she needed to run an errand I almost offered my keys to her so she didn't have to walk. But she was an MT for 8 to 10 years while going through school -- so yes Dorothy there are blind MT's. She would come into the office and I would not say a word and she knew I was there and when my husband came for lunch she would know that he was there. Amazing -- but her typing skills were top notch and she typed on an old Royal typewriter that was not even electric.
Blind loyalty.
And third comment. ISSUES! Just because this person is American and lost her daughter does not give her the right to call everyone but herself incompetent. She CANNOT call these people criminal w/o EVIDENCE. I wish you would think that thru. If she is so SURE these people are criminals, let her step up to the plate with EVIDENCE and share that with the world she is urging not to take in the two brothers who were released for LACK OF EVIDENCE. So tell us what EVIDENCE she has to stand in judgement of everyone. Oh that's right. She is American and lost her daughter. We don't expect evidence just rambling emotions based on.....????
Thanks.. just call me blind!!!! hahaha
Is there a shortage of experienced MTs here in the USA? Am I blind and deaf? sm
I was talking to a prospective employer today. First off, it is a start-up company in US. They already have a base in the Philippines. Well, that turned right off; however, we continued the conversation. My question to this person was this.....so, if you were to get contracts for MT here in the US, are you willing to just hire US MTs? Answer...Well there is such a shortage of good quality MTs here in the US and we would like to have the work done in the Philippines. My next question, and if the contract specifically states all work is to stay in the USA, what then? Well, then we would hire only US based MTs.
Finally, I had to stop him in his tracks....I told him I emphatically disagree. There is not a shortage of US MTs. The problem is that you or any other Internationally based company is not willing to pay the US MTs what they are worth. You want cheap labor, and you won't get that in the US. Our MTs here in the USA produce such a high quality patient record and you have to be willing to compensate for that. If you are interested in USA contracts but want to use cheap labor with no concern for quality, than I am not the person for this position.
I am so furious right now as I mull over the conversation......am I just blind or is there really a shortage here in the US of quality-driven MTs.
I am an MT myself as well as QA Specialist and I just do not agree with this mentality. I think they use this excuse to justify their wanting to offshore. I see through the smoke screen; however, I guess I just need to hear it from my fellow MTs.
What are your thoughts on this issue of not enough trained and experienced MTs here in the USA? Personally, I don't agree.
This was an executive-type position with an awesome benefit package and salary; however, I turned down any opportunities with this company. I will not encourage or support giving our MT jobs to the Philippines, India or anywhere but the USA.
Blind date 30 years ago, love at
first sight, still happy, happy, happy. Moved in together about 5 days later. Never looked back. Got married and living happily ever after.
I know some prefer to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear...
this is a very important issue that affects us all and I for one wanted to hear AHDI's response.
But I digress --- what would you like to talk about --> Rainbows, butterflies, and sunshine? Should all have a metaphorical group hug and not care about anything?
Sorry, but YOU give it a rest. I get so tired of those warm and fuzzy people who never want to talk about anything negative. Tell a person to "give it a rest" and tack a smiley face on the end and that makes is okay!
Ignoring all the issues hurting medical transcription and our paychecks won't make them go away.
i count blind everyday-it totally sucks!
i work for a local hospital and we have 2 systems, one system can view their lines in realtime and the other side of the department doesn't have any idea what our lines are. we have to wait til the following week for the report to be ran. you can always tell if you made the manager or lead mad that week because your lines will be really low. if you dare to question them then you have to face the rath! they screw with our lines on a daily, sometimes hourly basis. there are a few people that watch their lines by report and catch them doing it and have to fight, and i do mean fight, to get it corrected. 
Blind boys are being taught MT now in Indonesia or someplace like that. Was

I'm already legally blind and I think all this staring at a screen is making them worse! sm
I'll look into these computer glasses you speak of. Wearing glasses rather than contacts really did help.. I don't know how or why, but it did. Maybe the combination of antiglare screen and antiglare lenses?
My monitor's screen is supposed to be antiglare, but I still am thinking one of the antiglare hook-ons might be helpful. Only problem with that is I have an 'old fashioned' monitors (the kind that are huge and weigh a ton) and not one of the flat screens so not sure if I'll find one to fit.
Bud of mine is an almost-blind MT. She uses devices, huge print, magnifcation

I saw HOWIE last night on a late night episode of Blind Date. too funny.
I'm thinking if they are smart they'll boot Rachel. I think she's really smart and a good player. I don't think Howie is all that smart or able to be a winner. I think this could force Howie to hook up with James to go for the final 2.
