In Reply to: Every day, after typing for a couple or hours or more, my right leg swells. sm - Anyone else experience this?
but the doctor told me it is the position of where the back of my thigh rests against the edge of the chair, puts pressure on it and makes the leg swell. Now that I'm more aware of this I try to position myself differently and it seems to work.

My high school had police there. It started
about my junior/senior year I think....and cameras everywhere. We also had a security guard patrol the campus, although he was more worried about kids sneaking out than anything.
I'm surprised all schools don't have them. It sure could have diffused the situation a lot faster, possibly saving the girl's life had a police officer already been inside before happening.
I started part-time in a doc's office while still in high school. sm
That was in 1984. My career just bloomed from there......
I started this when mine were 2 and 4 - sm
I only would work basically when they were napping or at night after they went to bed. I don't think a 16-month-old will understand, sorry, cannot play now, have to work. You might be able to get her to play with something now and then and squeeze in a report here and there, but I would not count on it. You may be able to put on Sesame Street or Blues Clues and get 30 minutes that way, but don't use the TV as a babysitter and park her in front of it all day so you can work. I limited mine to about 1 hour during the day, and maybe a Disney movie at night; that is still what we hold it too though the movie choices have changed some they still watch a lot of Disney, now Barbie, Kim Possible, Bratz, etc. as they are 7 and 9. Have fun, and if you are smart stick to a PT job, or else you will be very, very tired.
I'm in C.FL, too, and thought mine was high at $140! I guess I'm conserving more than I though

Mine is great. I just started though and
she has been very nice--on the phone, responding to emails, providing me with copies, etc.
Mine's getting worse since I started this, for sure. nm
s
mine sucked when I first started with them
They were so bad I actually thought it might be a joke. but I stuck it out, made very little money for a long time.
I've doing the same crappy dictators now and average 350 lph with them. They say the same thing over and over. After a while your ears can hear what they say and you can pick up your speed.
Most MTs flit from job to job so fast they never get used to the dictators.
got to stick it out to make the $
Mine was from my high school test, back in the dark ages.
thank goodness, mine started back last week!
    --this is me after the bus whisks them away!
Mine are in year-round thank goodness! They've started their new year 2 months ago.

You may actually be treated better too
in working in that environment, Burger King. It's shameful for the level of difficulty this job is, that the pay is this lousy and the treatment by supervisors/management is disrespectful and horrendous.
Not sure...I HAVE been treated in...
I have been treated several times in France and in the U.K. and found the care excellent and their pricing for everything medically-related far better than in this country. I know about their waiting lists and Canada's too. I'm not sure what the answer is nor is SiCKO giving an answer. I do know that trying to get an appointment in a VA Hospital in this country also has 3-6 month waiting lists.
I wish we all had an answer.....
Some people at SS are treated
better than others. The special ones get paid for their spaces, while some others do NOT.
Wow, that's really awkward that you are being treated
Are you sure they aren't getting these kinds of emails even tho their work shows the same errors on final copy?
This is a tough one.
Can you actually COMMUNICATE with her, instead of emailing? That seems to clear some kinds of things up, when emails just feel too awful.
Good luck. This must be an awful feeling.
ICs -- are you being treated like employees? (sm)
I filed IRS form SS-8, and boy did I get results!!
It took months. I had to fill out the very detailed form describing my work situation. The IRS then notified the MTSO and had them fill out the form. I just received the ruling that I was in fact an employee, so the MTSO now has to pay back taxes and penalties!!
It feels so good when something works the way it should, doesn't it?
You may well have been treated unfairly
There are so many different situations. I'm not saying you weren't treated badly. What I deal with sometimes is ridiculous. Totally made up words, no effort to digest feedback, no effort to look drug spellings up. AND an attitude toward me!
If we were treated like professionals, we might be
Management IS the devil. By the way, what's it like up there in mananagement, with your 6-figure income, your executive healthcare, and salary-not-hourly status? Especially when you sit in your office all day surfing Amazon & eBay? Must be nice, Beelzebub. But I'll never sell my soul for it.
So true!!. You can only be treated bad if you

You have to be psychic to be treated.

Never been treated so badly in my life
Just signed on with a company, had 1 week of work, now I am on my second week with no work. I am a single mother with children to feed...it's just not right. Searching for a new job and have 3 offers on the table already......
How many jobs do we take until we might be treated decent
I am on my third in a year
Which companies were you at where you were not treated very well. I am job hunting and would like
to know.
It's just one more reason why MTs are treated like dirt. (nm)
:/
i've been very well treated by my state's
BC/BS -- and have had several expensive accidents...but maybe it depends on your state too.
For what it's worth, I don't think that you were treated dirty...sm
They decided to go to EMR, which is their choice. It sounds as if you financially made out extremely well (very, very well) doing their transcription. How about charging a nominal fee to assist them in setting this up? In the end how do you know that the EMR will work out for them, and 3 or 4 months later they decide to go back to using a MT? It sounds like you made out like a bandit doing their work, and for what it's worth I would be quite reasonable fee-wise with this one in the hope that they may retain your services in the future. I don't think that you are going to run into too many gravy situations making $100.00 dollars an hour doing MT, and acyually they are not treating you dirty by deciding to try EMR.
You LET self be treated bad. Hard to feel sorry

treated badly and pentalized
Has anybody here had a company treat you badly because you want to work? I was offered a full-time employee position. I took it and then I was barely getting 200 lines a day. I was also told I would have a back up account. When I questioned what was going on, I was given the cold shoulder. What's the deal? I want to work! I am use to getting at least 1500 lines a day.
I concur....MTs are treated with respect at MDI-MD....
Best MTSO out there, in my opinion.
He was my least favorite on that show and after how he treated Brenda,

I don't understand your question at all. She was being treated in Mexico
so what does that have to say about the US? Makes no sense.
not true. Crux is, she is being treated differently than others
Tell that to my friend. They had a dog they treated as a member of their family. That is, until it a
Dogs need to be trained and need to know they're lowest in the pack. I tried telling my friend this, but she wouldn't listen and she continued to treat the dog as a member of the family instead of as a dog. And eventually that "member of their family" decided it didn't want any more competition for affection, and attacked their son. Thank God he survived, 92 stitches and some nasty scars tho. If you love your family and you love your dog, then TRAIN your dog. Don't treat him like an extra child.
A lot of women are treated badly in general sm
not just in the Amish community. How many women are abused daily, behind closed doors and in public. I remember an incident when I was visiting Atlantic City. Had just walked into the casino and there was this man, wife, and child in a stroller along with some other friends. Don't know what their argument was about, but the man hauled off and smacked his wife across her face like it was nothing and the friends seemed so embarrassed. The poor lady just shielded her face and cried. The man acted as if he had done nothing wrong. If this is the treatment he gives her in public, imagine what goes on behind closed doors. I told my husband if you ever even think about it I will put your poor soul to rest.
We cannot generalize by culture because it is the world we live in. To the Amish community I am sure they receive "normal treatment."
The gist of it all is no one should have to suffer the pain these children nor their families have endured with these school shootings, molestations, and abuse. If you are that miserable (they end up killing themselves anyway most of the time), why not just go ahead and take your own life and leave others alone. I pray for them all and hope that they can find peace in the midst of all this tragedy.
Oh really? That's why it's a fact that Zarqawi was treated in Baghdad for injuries.

It is gratifying to see an MT who refuses to be treated as a second class employee. Way to go!!
:)
At our base the civilian employees are treated worse
than the prisoners from the nearby federal prisoner. Military thinks civilians are the scum of the earth. You will never get a promotion or recognition unless you are married to an active duty person.
I would be proud if my records, with my name erased, could be used to help an MT be treated fairly.
:P
Coretta Scott King died in Mexico, while being treated. ---what does that say about
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!
We met in high school. My high school sweetheart
introduced us in a discussion over Ford versus Chevy versus Dodge. I used to race my Dodge Coronet with oldstyle 318 V-8 engine against the guys on the back roads and old highways. High school boyfriend had a Chevy truck. DH had a Ford Fairlane and later an AMC Javelin that just made me swoon. We didn't actually start dating until three years later, and my old high school boyfriend was a bit surprised at that since he introduced us.
Nope, I don't feel "LUCKY" to be treated like an imbicile by my company. Nope, No way.

Mine isn't like that. Mine is 2. All are programmed different.

How about a High Five??!!

high 5!!
...Right on! I think many people who are gay bashers are really terrified of the unknown, terrified because they link gay people with sexual criminal behavior - pedophiles, rapists, you name it. I would not expect less of a gay person than I would a straight person when it comes to character and ethics. It is sad to see how many people are terrified of gays because they believe they have an "agenda" - out to turn the world gay!! haha!
It should be pointed out here that many gays have desires and needs just like us straight people - want to be loved, want to belong to someone, want to be committed to one person, want a home and family just like us. That should tell us something, right? Hey, for that matter, there are lot of straight people who will never want to settle down, love sleeping around, live a promiscious lifestyle, but it is only when that occurs in a gay person that it is magnified.
People can be so naive. Throughout time there have been gays in every walk of life - high ranking powerful politicians, ministers, high ranking military men, etc. Some just choose to keep it a secret. Just as I expect my straight friends to have character and ethics, so do my gay friends.
Judge people on their character, their morals, their ethics, not whether they are gay or straight.
high 5!!

Very high indeed!
I've never heard of anyone making more than .02-.03/cpl off of their subs. I'd say for you to either make some rules (times they can call, etc) and define exactly what you are willing to do for them. If they say no and you really don't care for the account any longer, then just let it go. If you really do want to keep it, the only thing I can suggest is to concentrate on how much YOU are making (and if it's worth it) instead of concentrating on how much THEY are making.
50% to me is very high
I could not look in the mirror if I took 50%, even beauticians when they used to work in a shot got 70/30 and they used the equipment of the shop. If she handles everything but the invoicing I feel you are taking advantage of someone and hopefully you can live with yourself and look in the mirror. I usually do 80/20 but then I pick up the tapes and deliver them to the IC, proof the work and invoice out, do all contact with the account. But to each their own.
wow... is it that high?
I'm making 10 cpl with my hospital and 12 CPL for my doctor's Office
which is 65 character line including spaces
However my office is now deciding they want to pay me a different way since we are completely switching systems and there is no way to do a line count... and now I HAVE NO idea how much to charge because he is thinking by the "minute". well I make almost ALMOST $2.00 a minute and haven't had a raise in seven years, so I'm really at a loss of what to do.
Oh I work for companies in California. Do you live in FL or CA or I don't understand... i mean when I look at the big companies they offer 7 or 8 CPL... am I missing something?! LOL
good luck :)
Okay HIGH FIVE!! ROFL
