Medium to long length acrylics.
I type a little better without them, but not enough to make me want to get rid of them!
Mine was never awake long enough to try to help him.
He drank daily until he passed out and that was early. I decided I did not love him enough to put me or my son through it and asked him to leave. He did. I left too and never looked back. Do not know whatever became of him. Never saw my ex-husband again. Just had lawyer file for divorce and signed my divorce papers, which included taking my former name back, and moved on. Never remarried. It is so degrading living with someone like that. It makes you second guess yourself and your abilities too. I did not love him enough to hang in there. If I had, I guess the story would have some other ending, but I just didn't. Very sad but true for him and for me.
Does anyone know about how long the foot pedals might last? Mine is skipping and
getting on my last nerve.
LOVE MINE!!
Will never go to another chair!
I love mine, too! nm
Love mine sm
Sony MDR-U10. Been using these for 15 years. First ones lasted 14 years. Check out www.transcriptiongear.com.
for prices.
i love mine
got a kinesis classic and it has really helped me. A bit pricey, but i think worth it. The upside: keys can be programed to be in different places if you want or you can program them with macros. The keys are in different locations per research that is easier on the hands, and at different heights. The downside: It does take some effort and time to adjust!
Love mine
I have had my Bose earbuds for about a year and love them. Even mumble mouths come in clearer.
Love mine!
I absolutely love mine! I will take you a few days or so to get used to it, but I found that my production actually increased due to using it. I no longer have hurting wrists.
I LOVE it, and wish it were mine! - nm
I don't know about the best but I love mine
I have the Microsoft 4000 (I forget the whole name and I'm just popping back in here). I'm so afraid it will be discontinued because Microsoft LOVES to do that! Some think it's noisy but I wear noise-canceling headphones so that doesn't bother me. Personally, I don't think it's any louder than other keyboards and I love hearing the clickety-clack of keyboards when I'm not working :o). Odd, I know. Comfort-wise, it's great and there are cool features like My Favorites, Mail, Search, Web/Home, etc., above the F keys. I cannot use a straight keyboard now; it hurts!!
love mine!
I just got my Kinesis Freestyle with the VIP accessory about a month ago and love it! I definitely wouldn't go back to a regular keyboard. I like how you can adjust how far/close you want to separate the two keyboards plus I do think it's got a light touch. You can always try it and if you're not satisfied, return it, as they do have a money back guarantee, but I can't remember if it's a 30 day or 60-day return policy, or even longer.
I love my mine
I have a 32-inch HDTV that I use for my primary monitor, and I can honestly say that it is incredible! I use 2 additional monitors, and I like those as well, because I don't have to minimize screens and have the desktop expanded out over all the monitors.
The display is crystal clear, and I get no headaches. Even nicer, if work is caught up, I can change the input to the digital cable input and catch a late-night movie while still keeping an eye on the work queue on another monitor. Sweet. Very sweet.
Yeah, I had a huge long vent about mine, but I deleted it
because it was just too much to put on the Internet. You always get someone saying, "That's why I'm not married."
Mine too!! Would love to be on that little island
:
I have DX6490 too, also love mine!
Upgraded from an HP, no comparison in the pictures. Kodak wins hands down.
So do mine - and they also love liver, like me!!
Any other liver lovers out there?
I love mine!! Got it off Ebay.
o
LOVE them-- won't work without mine.

I use Sennheiser ........... love mine!!!

Mine just came today! I love it!! Well worth the $$..nm
.
Yeah, I love days like that. Wish mine was.
I was thinking about finding a job that's Tues - Fri because I like to take Mondays and clean up the house after having the whole family home for the weekend.
I love mine, adjusted quickly.
But don't spill a latte in it...and the dishwasher trick doesn't work for it. I had to go out and buy a new one...and ergonomics are getting hard to find in my area!
I absolutely love mine...see message
I have health issues and this bed has been wonderful for me. My husband up until we got our sleep number bed was always up by 4-5 in the morning because of pain. He hasn't had any pain since. It was well worth the money for us.
Yep, do them all day long and love it!!! nm

I bought mine off Ebay and love it! This is probably the keyboard I will always use now.
:+
Slept in a recliner for a year before I got mine....LOVE IT. sm
I have degenerative disk disease in my lumbar and cervical spine. We got a king sized, fully adjustable because of the level of my problems. I rarely have had to use the adjustments because having found my "number" I am provided with an incredible night sleep. My number is 35 and it has changed my life. I have significantly less pain, I can sleep ALL NIGHT without rolling over and over and over in pain. Wish I would have gotten it when it first came out. We have had it for 2 years now. I recommend it to everyone who asks.
I just pulled mine back out of storage - LOVE THEM!! nm

i use lingo and love it! sm (long)
i gave up 2 landlines and now use lingo ($20/month) over highspeed cable; save lots of$$$! only downside i know of is that emergency 911 calls are handled differently, but lingo has a 911 call protocol. some people keep 1 landline just for that purpose, but I figure if there's a catastrophe the landlines will be down anyway. also, if your cable goes out you don't have phone service. my mobile phone is my backup for emergencies now. also, i suggest you lease the modem, not buy; that way if the company upgrades their system they upgrade your modem and you're not left behind with obsolete equipment...
Long ops are the best! I love the technical
stuff! My favorite is cardiac surgery. Consults are good, too. I really don't care for discharge summaries or H&Ps, short or long. But always glad to just to have any work these days! 
I love TransHealth. There are many, many long term MTs...sm
with the company who are also very happy. Benefits are great. Good platform. It's acute care work, with ESLs, but that's the name of the game today.
Would love to help newbies, I was one myself (way too long ago to admit to)...
but set hours might be hard to do, I'd want to know that I would have at least 3-5 hours a day with a newbie in order to make it worthwhile. If she learns and works out - raises of course. I've been there too!
I love those long reports. I think of them as free money.
It's just straight transcribing with no stopping to verify patient or physician information to start a new note. I'll trade you for 1 minute long dictations by a little Russian guy?
I do understand the frustration at the duplication of information. Then again, the copy/paste feature works great at giving more lines for free with no typing. LOL I always thought that if I could find a way to simplify the medical record while still utilizing MTs, I'd be rich.
Love at first sight on the Long Island RailRoad
On the Long Island Railroad, traveling to Greenwich Village for the day and he traveling to a concert in Queens, NY. The instant I looked at his face and he talked to me and sat across from me on the train, I knew we would make history together, I knew something was gonna happen between us. He got off the train, I continued on to Greenwich Village, NYC..didnt get his number, nor he mine. Four months later I was driving into my apartment parking lot and he was driving behind me, said he recognized me from my sunglasses as I looked in the rear view mirror. He asked for my phone number and the rest is history..It was truly love at first sight..
Didn't take long at all, maybe a day or two. I love my Gold Touch.

Lucky. I love long reports. I thought I got a good one, but it was a 1.5 minute
report with 12 minutes of dead air. Sit here and do nothing. For free.
LOVE teaching hospitals and long-winded reports. Less ADT time which I'm not paid for.
Hate filling in ADT screens w/ searches just to do a one minute report.
Funny! Mine is almost as large, and I don't mind cleaning mine!
It's no problem at all. Besides, I'll take lots of oodles of square footage any day of the week over living in a sardine can!
I hate Instant Text. It is expensive, long long learning
curve, and too much distraction for me.
How long should I wait after applying for a position before I follow-up. It has been as long as two
without hearing from some. Just wondering if I should send an e-mail to follow-up to see if they received my resume or not. I don't want to offend anyone but feel two weeks should be long enough for someone to at least acknowledge my resume and that I have applied for a position. Right now I would accept anything even a note saying no thanks. Any advice would be appreciated. I haven't had to apply for a job for the past 10 years so I am a bit rusty at this. Thanks again for any advice.
Congrats! How long have you been a MLS and how long did you study for the test!
Please see message. I have three daughters with long, long hair.
I also have long hair down to my waist and my three girls have hair that long too. My daughter brought them home from school last year. I was devestated and grossed out!!!! I have never had to deal with lice. Anyway, we did the treatments and two of my girls broke out in a severe rash with the OTC stuff. Their little heads were so sore!! I thought I was being meticulous with eggs, only to find them hatching again down the road. A nurse at the pediatricians office suggested I try oil to suffocate them since my girls were allergic to the lice solution. I bought a huge bottle of veggie oil and dumped it on all three heads, plus my own. I then wrapped the heads in platic wrap and then a towel. I left this on for 30 minutes. It takes a while to wash out the oil, but we never, ever had the lice or eggs again!!! If you try this, make sure you put on an old shirt and put a towel around your shoulders. Obviously we were desperate, but we all have such long hair and very thick hair so I was willing to try anything. And I figured there was no chemicals involved so that was pretty safe. And it sure did help my littles ones since their scalps were pretty raw from the solution. Hope this helps and Good luck!
It's been a long, long time since I've used a C-phone, sm
but I do think jobs can be paused.
love, love, love the show. hate american idol. this show is for real.
the only reason i entertained watching it was because of mark burnett and as usual he has such genious casting and editing. btw, don't know who anything about "metal" music but these performers make me like it. love marty and jd as performers. HATE JESSICA. susie is so nice and so emotional. it seems they all support each other and enjoy each others skills. regarding ty and bob marley, ty was excellent but he also lucked out on the song! bob marley was genious too and his music is very easy to listen to. i don't like 3/4 of what the others are given to sing but their performances make me love the music. dave navarro shines on this show, very gracious for the most part and letting the contestants down easy when they have to leave. he was great last night with brandon (?). sweet, sweet show. i am so impressed with everyone involved.
Yep that's it, 4000. Love, love love the zoom
But I feel like a dork typing...every time I try to type But it is coming out as Nut!
I had a problem with this for a long, long time sm
I have always worked days, like from 6-3. Over the last few years, it didn't matter how much sleep I got, I became real groggy between 7 and 11. Really shoots the day. Talked to my doctor and he said my blood pressure pills were the culprit but he refused to change me to another brand or dosage since I have multiple aneurysms (2 in the brain). My BP has been stable for a long time and he wants to "keep it on the low side". I tried taking them before I went to bed instead of early in the morning, but then I had headaches all day. So, I am changing to a night shift for a few months so I can sleep when those pills kick in and so far it is working pretty good. I stay mostly awake during my shift and die when I hit the bed from 6 am to 10 am, then I lay down again later in the afternoon for 2-3 hours. I still get 6-7 hours of sleep, it's just split up during the day, plus I am mostly awake now when I sit down to type. I don't have to deal with the heat in my office, either. It tends to warm up real fast in here with the south sun on the house and 2 pc's running all day, even with the air conditioner on.
Way back when, a long, long time
ago and in a galaxy far, far away, I had my own accounts also and some years cleared $75,000. Yes it can be done, but you need to have your own accounts. Also lots of delivery, and other duties involved. I work for a large national now and make much less, but I got tired of accountants, having to deal with hardware problems, deadlines, driving deliveries, printing, printers, etc. So I decided to simplify my taxes and stay home and just type. Don't have to worry about computers either, because the company will just send me a new one.
Long, long files. Seemed like they'd never end! I'd never go back to VA again. nm

I've been doing this a long, long time...
I used to make $70,000 and up a year and did so for most of the late 80s and 90s (one girl used to make six figures a year working 7 days a week!) Because we were making more money than the supervisors and Medical Records Directors in hospitals, they began to switch to transcription services which were sprouting up all over the place. Plus AAMT came into existence and even though in the beginning it claimed it was to fight for transcriptionists (although assured us it was NOT a union), they eventually morphed into an organization that was more management friendly. They developed the "guidelines" and the 65-char line. That was the beginning of the end for those high-end wages. Then all those mickey mouse transcription schools popped up, and now outsourcing overseas. YES, we're complaining.
Been in this biz a long, long time, 30+ years and....sm
I love/loved MTing. However, things have changed so much during these years. The job definitely gets easier; don't have to look up much, can decipher ESLs much easier, in other words, you get pretty comfortable with things and you have confidence in yourself. The more experience you have the easier the job, but....
I actually made more money 10 years ago!! We didn't have speech recognition and you actually got paid for headers/footers, demographics, carbon copies, etc., you got paid for what you did fairly; today, I am not so sure.
You will feel burned out at times, but that passes and you find you like your job again.
Good luck to you!!
Mine isn't like that. Mine is 2. All are programmed different.
