wrong. the virus protection and anti-spyware
are only as good as the updates and are NOT 100% all the time. NO program is 100%. Hackers are finding new ways to compromise computers every single day and no program can protect from all of them. The longer you are up and running, the more chance of being invaded. don't fool yourself into thinking antivirus and antispyware are fool proof, because they are not. You have to think smart and protect yourself too, by shutting down when not in use and allowing new updates to take effect. duh.
Wrong. That is why you have virus protectection and anti-spyware. To protect 100% of the time.
:P
you're welcome - actually it's anti-glare screen.
nutso me *l* - it's an antiglare screen *cyberslaps self* *lol*
She came around as an anti-Britney, anti-Christina bad girl a few years back
http://images.google.com/images?q=avil+lavigne&hl=en&lr=&sa=N&tab=ii&oi=imagest
and I like her music. At least it's really her music rather than some oversynthesized Britney crap. Christina can sing but she's too slutty. Avril is a nice in-between IMO. Hillary Duff is another person of that genre who actually has talent but doesn't act like a scumbag.
Maybe you picked the wrong week to stop

Millions others wish Bush would be outsourced too, as evidenced by the poll. Bush = 1st Class moron
I think you're reading way to much into these posts.

If I'm reading correctly, you're not at home when this happens...sm
Which must be so stressful for you. I found this website that you might want to take a look at:
http://www.ygrr.org/doginfo/behavior-phobia.html#Hug
It has info. about homeopathic treatments, drugs, music, behavior mod., hug therapy, etc. It looks like the Clomicalm your vet gave you might not just be a tranquilizer but helps in another way? Not sure.
One of my dogs has a very mild problem in this area. Fireworks and thunderstorms upset him. He finds a place to hide, curls up and stays there, and he won't go outside (where it's louder, of course) until the noise is gone. Luckily, it's mild, and he's even been getting better. We just act like it's no big deal, pat him on the side once or twice and tell him in a cheery voice "You're okay, buddy!" and go about our business. (But I confess, hubby and I let him curl up on the bed in between us during thunderstorms - we're probably rewarding/reinforcing his phobia behavior! LOL)
I did once foster a dog who had a much worse problem. It was getting close to the 4th of July, and the sound of firecrackers terrified him. Long story, but I used Rescue Remedy (homeopathic flower essences) on him with success for the short time I had him. Long term, I think I would have needed something stronger.
Please let us know what happens.
Sometimes you're better off not reading your own medical records..
I read a consultation from a recent hospitalization and this doctor said that I "look slightly older than my stated age"... I am crushed! It must be my gray hair...I have to start coloring it again. But I guess also maybe life is starting to take it's toll on me. I have had some problems with low blood/iron this past year and I've heard (on a t.v. commercial) that that makes you look older. That statement made by the doctor could account for the strange looks I've been getting from family members in the last year or so. They don't say anything, but I can recall some days when they looked startled or surprised at first glance, like something was wrong. I've always tended to look younger than my age, so this is an adjustment to me.
You better stop working for yourself then because you're the one
who started all the sniping and rudeness with your sweeping generalizations. If trying to hire a good MT has you that frustrated, maybe you shouldn't be in management. There are plenty of negative people out there who don't have what it takes to run a company.
you are still an IC when you're a business, you stop being an IC when...sm
you incorporate. Then you become an employee of your corporation. Most home based businesses don't require a business license. Since you aren't having customers traipse in and out, nobody really cares. No advantage to getting a tax free ID since you aren't collecting sales tax. The only thing you really should do when you get your own account is to set up a business checking account with a credit card attached to it. The physician office should make the invoice check out to your business, not you. The separate account simplifies bookkeeping and keeps the IRS happy. No need to really incorporate until you are making about $50K a year. Then you might want to think about it to save on the SS taxes. If you do get your own account, find a CPA that you can talk to (i.e. approachable). There are self employment IRA's etc that you will want to take advantage of. As far as getting up enough nerve to walk into the office, I call it "the $10,000 question." All you need is one acccount on your own to make an additional profit of $10,000 over what you are making now. But the only people who get paid that are the ones who get up enough nerve to walk into the doctors' offices. Are you one of them?
If they're of college age & paying for their own way, how will you stop them? You let them go and

You're absolutely right that we are worth more, so when are you going to stop

Stop correcting. You're not the grammar police. (NM)

Do you read blogs or have one yourself?
 Howdy, I have a couple blogs and was curious if anyone else on here had a blog or reads blogs? It's so tough to find medical transcription blogs (you'd think they'd be everywhere). If you know of any or have one yourself can you let the rest of us know what it is and where to find it? I'd like to add a few to my own blog. I don't know about you all but I need a funny pick-me-up occasionally and blogs can usually do it for me.
Here's mine (yep, total self-promotion. I showed you mine, now show me yours  )
MT one (http://mtinsider.blogspot.com), My celebrity one (http://www.celebucrap.com), and my funny one (http://funneecrap.blogspot.com).
They're all pretty new but I'm having loads of fun. I want to see if anyone else does the same thing.
Blogs and blogging
I have one too and I enjoy reading them. This one is mine.

It is not like face book or those kind of social networking places where all the pics have half nude people in them. It is a work in progress. A very long work. I am not very diligent about keeping it up, but then with 2 jobs and a family, I am lucky I get any spare time to myself. LOL.
I went to yours, it was pretty funny. You do good work.
they're wrong
The report is not valid unless the doctor signs it. If there is something incorrect on there and he still signs it anyway, he is verifying that the information is accurate and then he is responsible for the error, not you. I don't believe a transcriptionist has ever been held legally liable.
You're wrong.
He was not making speeches about the war when the hurricane was coming or after. I think everyone was too busy attending meetings. But at least he wasn't blaming everyone else like Mr. Mayor.
No, you're not wrong.

You're still WRONG!!!
You're too busy trying to prove everyone else wrong that you're not even paying attention to the original question, which was why do newscasters say "pleaded guilty." The answer is because that's the proper use of the word: The past tense of plead is PLEADED. The word "pled" is an Americanized version of it, probably derived from lead/led, hence plead/pled. It's acceptable - but not as proper as pleaded, which is why newscasters, public speakers, etc. use it.
So, before you go ahead and plaster a big WRONG!!! under someone else's comment (which is so completely obnoxious), make sure that you are correct and know what everyone is talking about in the first place. Maybe you're the one who needs to do the studying up.
I think you're wrong.
In this instance anyway. I don't see how they can stop someone off shore from posting questions like the OP.
They're wrong.
Whoever told you that it is the law that you must give a SS# to register your child is misinformed. A SS# is not to be used for identification per the original intent of the SS. I have never given the school a SS# for any of my kids and they had no problem at all; they assigned a student number to each one. If this person is insistent, ask to speak to their superior or contact a school board member--that usually gets the problem solved in a hurry.
No, you're wrong.
The rate of pay in this industry has NOTHING to do with intelligence. There are companies willing to work for less than others. Hospitals/clinics, etc., want to see an improved bottom line, so the contract goes to the lowest bidder. It's more about the cost of living and the standard of living in the country where the work is being done.
No, you're wrong....
Please understand that not all Americans have the same ideas. Some of us see things from a different angle. Do not be closeminded. No one is asking you to agree, but have some respect and try to learn from others' perspectives.
You're right, everyone else is wrong. There.

How do you know you're being trained wrong?
Can you give some specifics? BTW, many MT rules do not follow standard English grammar rules. We either go by the BOS (AAMT Book of Style) or per account specs provided. Each job is different. If you want a paycheck, you learn to adapt to their particular style.
I seriously doubt anybody's going to hire an untrained QA person. A person has to have years of experience as an MT before doing QA. Honestly, if you're that unhappy, quit.
Wrong. You're the only one who sucks
more than Monica. In fact, you sucked so much, you were the first american to overdose on semen. They were barely able to save you. Yo daddy and uncle ron kept your throat full of protein.
I think you're all wrong. It's all about getting the work done
for the hospital in the fastest time possible and my company doesn't care if I do it or if you do it (if you worked for us) or if someone else does it, just get it done for the client. So complain as you like, find somewhere else to work if you need, but get the work done. That's the bottom line.
you're not wrong..just full of yourself.
I dunno if you're wrong or not...
or even a shrew or not. If it were me, though, and in fact it was me a couple of months ago, I'd not go out to lunch a couple of times to be able to get my keyboard. How much is this ergonomic keyboard you are needing anyway? When my ergonomic keyboard bit the dust a couple of months ago, I got on e-bay and got mine for $8.00 ($1.00 bid, $7.00 S&H). It came right away and my soreness and achiness for those few days went right away! But, even though this keyboard retails $50.00, I am wondering how much the one you want costs; way over $100.00? I guess what I'm getting at is I'd just take my kids to the park with Colonel Sanders AND get my ergomic keyboard too. I am sorry that your husband responded so coldly. My husband would bend over backwards to help find a for me to get the keyboard, but I can't see where I'd even make it his problem. I would just adjust my budget so I could get my keyboard and let my husband know what I was doing to be able to get it (and this is what I did a couple of months ago). I guess I don't see how this is such a huge issue; we're only talking about a couple of weeks, right? Of course your health and well-being is of great importance, and an ergonomic keyboard is a high priority because of your symptoms, but would it be that awful to adjust your budget just one time so you could get the keyboard? I guess I don't get to get out that much anyway, so missing a couple of lunches with friends wouldn't be that bad for me!
I've totally missed something here I am sure, right?
Anyway, I do hope your symptoms get much better soon; take care of yourself, especially regarding CTS.
You're right, hubby & son are wrong. :) nm

You're on the wrong board!
This particular board is for medical transcriptionists, so we can't help you. Sorry!
Either way, you're in the wrong place. sm
Please read your own message. You made two errors when you neglected to take out two headers not needed, IMO. I don't mean to be rude, but you said it yourself.
You're totally wrong.
The hospitals know exactly where their work is being done. Large facilities contracting with offshore (or US nationals who provide the offshore liason for them) do it knowingly and with one goal in mind - savings. It's unfortunate, but it's happening every day.
No you're not wrong but my statement stands too
If it was your daughter missing and the media basically concentrated on a demographic other than yours, you'd be wondering why you can't get help for your daughter too. Media looks for sensationalism and the since outrage currently involves young children or affluent, pretty, white young adult females, that's what the media flocks to.
If you don't know what a typo is, you're in the wrong business.
This is a message board, not a paid document.

Antonio!
Nope, you got that wrong. What we're afraid of is
.
You're both right and you're both wrong.
There are too many variables to give an accurate--or even estimated--count. Using a standard 1-inch margin, you may have short lines and lots of paragraphs and get a lower count. If no paragraphs and it's a full page of text from margin to margin, you get your higher count. You can't possibly use an average count because of variables, which is why no one can commit to a pat answer.
Can point in a direction but takes reading, re-reading sm
Goggle.com and enter various phrases to get articles and companies. I use a free doanload of ExpressScribe, yep, it is free. They have a number of various software things on their site to read and perhaps one will fit. The express Scribe is a piece of sotware to download, it is very simple and I like simple. You can listen and transcribe various voice file formats. You can use a wav pedal one is called a serial pedall and I think it is 9 pin and plugs in the back of PC and also another pedal I think a 15 pin wav pedal and goes in the USB port in front. However, you can also use it without a pedal and it works fine. You use a couple of key to stop, pause, rewind, I forget the key. There are a lot of pedals so don't just jump in. On this site you may benefit from emailing the company after reading and rereading, even if you don't understand. .

An error reading or a negative reading? (nm)
nm
wrong, wrong, wrong. work is being outsourced because of $. period. not because of unqualified MTs
c
You're probably doing nothing wrong, employee status seems to be the norm with IC status primaril
SE status instead of IC? For me,SE status is heaven -with part of taxes paid and flexibility in my schedule. Have you ever applied to MDI-MD? They only accept qualified, experienced MTs and stress quality in their transcription. From what I read of your qualifications, it sure would be worth contacting them.
Per "see mssgs" comment regarding age discrimination later on in this discussion, I'm 64 - no problem getting hired at a line rate higher than average. Age is not a factor with MDI-MD - knowledge and quality is !!!
stop and full stop
that reminds me of a doctor who had his own very unique word for period...he called it a "perikat". All through the report...Perikat... perikat.... LOL
AVG anti-virus...
and also Microsoft's own Anti-Spyware are good. www.microsoft.com (downloads) and Google in AVG and go to their site...
Ice and anti-inflammatories. SM
 I had medial and lateral and it hurt like I don't know what. I had to have the injection, instant relief of pain, but my arm was so weak. I had to go to PT too. They told me to do this: Get a styrofoam cup (small one) and fill it up with water and freeze it. Then you can just tear off paper and still have portion of cup to hold on to, and do an ice massage right there where it hurts so bad. Stay on the anti-inflammatories.
What anti- anything are you running?
Kind of hard to know without more information. What antispyware and antivirus programs are you running first off? Have you defragmented your computer? Have you run your updates? That is why it is good to do the things it states in that tutorial, and yes, that is not the end-all site, of course. Like I said, others may have better ideas and sites, programs, etc. Sometimes, the companies we work with have us download software that our operating systems will not sustain well and make them unstable. Just a thought. Hope this helps. Let me know. Talk to guys tomorrow.
