Another well-thought out post! And may I add -(sm)
that many of us who started MT with many other skills besides just doing medical transcription were over the years gradually relieved of other duties we had (i.e., as medical secretaries, or medical office managers, etc.) because what made us MOST VALUABLE to our employers in years past was our ability to TRANSCRIBE. Eventually even things like putting reports into charts (I used to walk through the hospital doing that- best part of my day), copying, filing, typing papers or book manuscipts, or even putting paper & ink in our printers, was replaced by just one thing: Type, type, type. That was fine, we thought, and maybe even better! But then we all started getting carpal tunnel syndrome and other RSIs, and suddenly just doing our jobs was injuring us. But the Greedy Ones didn't care. I actually knew people who were fired for getting this ailment (in the days before the ADA was passed) because it slowed them down a little bit. I had a co-worker who typed all day in bilateral wrist splints, chomping down pain-killers and sobbing as she worked, because she couldn't afford to even take the time off to heal, as she'd been threatened with termination if she didn't keep her line count up. So, after doing exactly what our employers wanted us to for all these years, now all of a sudden we're told we're only worth a couple pennies a line, even if that line contains information that only someone in this industry could transcribe, spoken by a voice that only a trained and acute ear could understand and decipher, and that is highly private and against the law to divulge to anyone, including the very patient upon whom that information is being dictated. Yet it's okay for that information to go to a country where our laws don't apply, and even if they did, where it would be impossible to enforce them, and where dishonesty, corruption, and the very hunger and economic need of its MTs puts a gaping hole in whatever security we Americans thought we had in thinking our private medical and ID records were actually that - PRIVATE. Something is most DEFINITELY wrong with this picture.
Thank you....I was just going to post that same thought

I thought this was a great post!
Maybe in the wrong spot, but a good post. What a mess, huh? I have to ask - did they charge/bill you for that? I wouldn't be paying!
For a minute there I thought I had written your post! If you sm
get an answer to your question about where does one go after 30 years in this business, please post it because I too feel I lost 30 years to this profession and am still waiting for some respect and fighting for decent pay. It's hard to explain how I feel to anyone who hasn't done this work. And yes, it is disheartening to see our profession in such disarray and all respect shot down because we are looked upon as chess pieces in the game of greed.
I didnt really read your post, but thought i would reply anyway
email me if you have enough nerve to speak to someone more in person than on the boards. I would be more than happy to have a debate with you if you are mature enough to handle it, but would rather not do it here.
Personally, when I first saw that post I thought that idea was insane. I still do! nm

Fell sorry.....
BRAVO!!!!!! 
I kind of fell into it
It's for a local insurance company. I have a friend who works there, and the service that they used was charging a lot. She knew I was looking for a part-time job to supplement my income (at that time I was working out of the home as a legal secretary). We started out working on it together, and then she stopped and I do all the tapes now. It's good money. I've been doing it for about 7 years.
How dumb are you? Evidently you fell from somewhere.

My husband fell back on ME. SM
He had his own auto repair business and I bought his parts half the time.
If a pill causes an abrasion while going down, it can fell like it is still there. nm

I got the same email regarding pay....ALMOST FELL OUT OF MY CHAIR
You have got to be kidding me!!
I do the same thing! I have fell asleep at ...sm
my keyboard before. It sucks trying to wake yourself up. I haven't found anything really that helps me that much.
Just as above, the physician said the patient fell
and ordered CT scan and the doctor absolutely checking for confusion. The doctor repeated and I listened back to it, intensely. That was said, VR picked it up and how would a newbie know (brain, confusion, could be in some cases, right) it was contusion they were looking for? I did, changed and finally the physician said the correct word, contusion. I also have the VR putting in Dr. Pannicus and the like. Yep, you need to know what things mean, not just typing in words.

I fell down my steps in MARCH of 05 and my tailbone still ...
hurts a lot of the time. Both soft and hard chairs are hard to get out of, depending how long I have been sitting. My sister said about trying an inflatable pool ring, but there aren't many to be found this time of year!
DH refuses to watch it again- says we fell for all the hype - about (sm)
the show being a "classic" . People on we barely knew. We kept waiting for it to get "good". Then the ending!!!!
Holy cow is right. Is he dead??
Bahaha! Oops. I fell out of my chair.
You're not really a brunette, are you?
Thanks for the giggle.
Mother fell and broke hip Sat, sent home by ER doctor
who said it was only bruised. Hospital calls Tuesday afternoon and says she actually had a broken hip and needed surgery. In the 3 days before the nursing home found out it was broken, she fell again. Has anyone ever heard of the radiology dept taking 3 days to read films? It was Memorial Day weekend, but even so I don't think it should have taken so long.
So true, when I worked inhouse, the doc fell asleep
while dictating and actually continued to dictate while asleep "we packed the leg wound with BBQ sauce and grilled it". The service typed it as such and flagged it. Boy, was doc ever embarrassed. His fault for doing 50 charts at a pop.
EditScript/Escription - Fell in love with it the first time I used it

disks in C-spine, then huge metal fan fell on back of head!
That is when the real pain began. A rhizotomy is where they cut the nerve roots to relieve the pain (anterior) or muscle spasms (posterior). I just had neurectomies, and my head has been worse for the last two months. The neurosurgeon was unable to get left side because my occipital nerve was entangled in the artery, but he got the right. Now I cannot feel the right side of the back of my scalp; however, I am still having a lot of pain! So much for that.
Wear scrubs, they're comfortable and you fell like you getting dressed for work See message.
Go to a local scrub shop, you can get a big bag full for about 100 bucks
Monkey bars aren't the problem. I never once fell off. Neither did my brother. Kids need to climb

Ignore my post. I finally found the post on how to do this. nm

Yes, I tried to post same last night about 10 times, and it won't let me post.
I used to breed lab puppies (please no activist flames)! I had a champion female white Canadian lab, and people would be on a list for years if by chance I bred her, which I did twice, and so that I could continue her line. Anyhow, she's my sweet Skye who passed away 2 months ago? At any rate, we had the same problems with kids in the "hood" who wanted to come over and play once the puppies were old enough to be exercised daily and played with. At first I thought, how cute, right? Puppies and little kids - what better picture! Well, the majority of kids were adorable, but there were always 1 or 2 sick ones who would smack the pups, smash and hold their heads in the dirt (a real common thing, but I don't know why - psychiatrist anyone). At any rate, I finally had to ban the whole group due to the 1 or 2 creeps, had to call the police, the whole 9 yards, and that's EXACTLY what the police officer told me - next thing is there will be poison meat or a donut in the yard. He told me to always go out and patrol my yard, especially alone the fence line every day before I let the dogs out, particularly at night. I went out with a flashlight. It was about a month later, but sure enough - poison meat. Because there were so many kids involved, we obviously couldn't pin point the exact family, but the police went and read the riot act to them all. It would stop and not happen again for a year or so, but every now and again we would find something. My dogs were NEVER out and barking, so it was nothing like that - it was just over the puppies and the cruel kids.... Not trying to freak you, but that's the way these kids and their families are. You can really judge someone's character by ill treatment of a PUPPY, of all things. And the parents?? They sound whacked. Please be careful.

Ah, I really meant to post that under the original post
Though it was gourdpainter's post which inspired me to post that suggestion.

Yes, she had post partum depression AND post partum psychosis. I posted on this a while back, and
it explained the two. The psychosis actually develops after the depression. Scary stuff.

Ya know, I thought so too but I think it is because his hair cut and facial makeup and eye brows are so severe..If he grew a longer beard, some side burns and longer hair, I dont think it would look that bad..However, he looks like my ex..sigh..My ex was a Latino as Dave Navarro is and has the same face..When I first saw Dave Navarro..I said to everyone, My gosh, he looks like John and they agreed..Carmen (dont know if I like her or not) and Dave sure make a good looking couple, though.
I thought it was just me! Thank God I'm

well, one would have thought it sure
would have gotten some press, for sure. But on the other hand, the story doesn't have the same 'newsworthy' features (from the press standpoint), ie, hope for a happy outcome, being a school-sponsored trip, a top student with the full scholarship waiting, the mystery of higher-ups possibly helping to hide the facts, etc etc.
Its a very very tragic thing, to have a child go missing and especially with the horrible outcome you mentioned.
If the news reported (which they can't) EVERYTHING that went on, we'd probably be afraid to wake up in the morning.
