Okay, next time I'll run the topic of my posting past you okay, Your Highness?

Agree and disagree -- there is a time and place for discretion -- but it should be with the approval
I used to do shift assignments many years ago ... first off, there are times when you have a newbie (or not so newbie) who will literally take hours to do a few OP reports, when what you need is TURNOVER, VOLUME, SPEED .. in those cases, it may make sense for the overall picture to assign someone new (or ailing) some "easy" work to clear out a worktype ... Ditto, I don't have any problem with requesting (and having request granted) to do certain report types or this-not-that when there is a request for extra hours. If you've already put in your shifts doing luck-of-the-draw, spending extra hours doing the dregs feels like punishment ... and if you're doing an unfamiliar worktype on overtime or extra, your reports will likely be a burden to QA ... net gain lessened.
There are all kinds of cherrypicking possible depending on the configuration of your job -- switching worktypes, switching accounts, taking a "break" are all ways to pass the exhausting and frustrating on to somebody else ... Oh, and no, I make myself NOT do that ... easy though it appears to be for most people to get away with it.
I once had a coworker (whom I liked) who explained that she HAD to cherrypick because otherwise she couldn't reach her line count within her 8 hour workday ...
Time on postings
Would it be possible to have the time of day included with postings? That way we could see if our responses were still warranted....Thnx!
I know what ya'll will probably say. I am scared right now. For the past 2 weeks or so sm
I've been having chest pain off and on or waxing and waning as they say? 
Anyhow, it is just a tad bit to the right of my actual heart which is why I am thinking possibly GI. My right arm hurts a bit too, almost a numb feeling, but I am attributing that to typing all morning. Mild case of carpal tunnel.
2 years ago was told for 1st time I have a weird kind of heart murmur. When I went walking up a long hill to get exercise a year ago I became dizzy, almost fell down, sweating profusely, sat down, rested, and it went away.
What do you think these signs are showing? Oh! My history. I am a 31-year-old female, mother of 3 young children, height 5'2, 155 pounds, not under too much stress (or should I say I deal with it well). Right now, it's hurting pretty bad. DH is out of town and I don't want to call an ambulance! I have 2 of my kids home right now. What would you do?
PS:This is not a joke. I don't want to make a big deal out of all of this, but I am so scared that I might be sorry for not taking action. Heart disease, heart attacks VERY prevalent in family history, but in older relatives! Thanks guys~!
No spelling police please...meant complaining. Time for bed ; )

They'll do the work by posting every other word
because medical transcription is so danged "easy" to do! We just type what we hear (who cares about the danged PATIENT?).
You'll get used to it. It is keeping the right leg propped up at the same time that'll be the
When I broke my ankle, I was just grateful it wasn't the hands. Without our hands we'd be totally screwed.
I broke my right ankle slipping on ice and was lucky to have gloves on because the palm of the glove was totally torn up and my hand was okay.
Good luck and be sure to do your exercises when it is time.
RadGuy, I gottah say this. You'll find someone on this board if you keep posting!! Even though mo
married (happily, others not), you just come off as interested in what we do as MTs (because you understand), you are funny, witty, and have a great personality....
I can just see it now....
You are personally invited to a virtual on-line wedding to celebrate.....
LOL!!
In time past my child was diagnosed
with a disease that is catastrophic. He was in college and quit that day. I was employed in hospital setting and immediately sat up Cobra, and carried it for about 4 months I think until which time he got a job and got his own medical insurance. My insurance covered as long as the child was in college. I knew with the disease if no insurance bridge would never be able to be covered again and with the cost of the medications needed just an overwhelming thought and even though I have money, would never be able to cover the costs of thousands every month to be paid out.
The hard time was the past thing.
Hi, I have just joined Spheris Hyderabad. Two months for settling down is what they give you and after that it is your regular type-type-type. There are nooooooooo problems with this new Spheris Clarity (R) platform. With this, things are just moving smooooooooothly.
oops! sorry eve, looks like we were posting at same time. nm

it's a natural law. don't waste your time posting
hate on MT boards or you will fall under nonsurvival natural law.
just sayin.... truth might not be pleasant but helps to prioritize what you do with your life and time. you don't like what your doing and can't make enough money, get a new skill. the higher up the education you choose to pursue, the less likely you break your back in a field or scrubbing commodes at a fast food restaurant. natural law for modern days.
I see posting all the time about transcription, why are you staying, really?
First of all let me tell you about myself. I am way past the time when I have to "make" a living, do not have children to raise, can work if I want and not if I want, have just reached that point of not having to put up with much of anything anymore. My question is to you- yes you- the one who is posting here complaining and complaining about how this work has gone downhill and it has. If you are younger and really need the money and need to work and make a decent salary, why are you hanging on to something that does not look like it will change? I see the letters supposedly being written to the president, 60 minutes and the like. What do you think that will do, if anything? I am really surprised that the trend in this job is sinking even further in the money department, no raises ever and if you want more money, then work long, long hours and 7 days a week. Instead of fussing and being irritated about the lack of work, the lack of money, etc., why in the world do you not try to find another "real" profession before you get to an age to where you would really be stuck, that is not ever being able to pull out from this hole ever. I could not raise a family on what I make now but that is the difference in me and most I read on here. Ladies (with an occasional gent thrown in here or there) what are you thinking about? Why not make a change while you are young and can? There are loads of jobs for the medical field, if this is what interests you. Staying at home with the kids was perhaps ok at 1 time but not anymore. Why not get out while the getting is good and you still have a chance to really enjoy your job while at the same time being able to survive? Think about it.

and we do pay their salary so who needs their approval. They need ours.
I would love to subject managers/supervisors to QA and have their salary based upon their performance. Which begs the question, what do supervisors do all day but generate e-mails? We do the hard work to bring money into the company so a supervisor can e-mail us and what else?
do you have your approval letter
from medicaid? There should be a blurb about how much your household can earn before having to do a change of income report to them.
Okay, I'll say this differently this time
flaming face - to me, denoting hostility, then complains essentially that all the people who make less than nice comments should go somewhere else. My point was that the original post seemed to be contradictory, starting off with a hostile style of emoticon, then wanting everyone to just get along.
I hope my point is more clear.
I'll be homeschooling for the first time

Yes, I'm sure the approval rating has to do with hate
Do you not know how ridiculous that sounds? I might not approve of things my kids do, but I sure don't hate them. I'm sure there are people who "hate" the president. That happened when he got more votes than Gore and won...and he's been "hated" by some every since. Sorry 'bout that.
Thanks for the responses. I'll give it more time.

Time for some honesty with the hubs. He'll never know how

It's hard so that you'll fail the first time and
Tell your employer that the money you give to AAMT/ADHI for the 'privilege' of taking their test is funding the progressive offshoring of the American MT profession. If you've been an MT for nearly 30 years, you don't need a CMT after your name. You were a professional MT long before that bunch of con artists dreamed up that scheme to make themselves rich by making MTs think they were on their side. Now we all know better. Don't fund their offshoring scam!
Yeah, take the time to do it, and once you do you'll never forget the name of that catheter!!
Don't always look for the EZ way out.......
Guess they'll be in with food poisoning next time
since they ate that gangrene...bwahahahahaha
hey if you can afford it and a supervisor's approval means more to you than cash, have at it.
i want the luck of the draw. you think your supervisor is going to pay your bills when she routes crap to you and it takes you twice as long to do a report? all you do is make her look good and she gets a raise.
so if someone else posts something that rings true, you ignore it? you need adminstrator approval?
first you cry to administrators to fight your battles and now if they tell you that they wrote the post, you will take it to heart but otherwise, you don't care? dano, you need a psychiatrist to see why you need authority figures approval and why you are still tattling to get this authority figures attention. seriously. you got issues.
You're already doing great! You'll be there in no time. I wasn't as fast as you when I star
b
Get out the timer. You'll have to force yourself to work uninterrupted for periods of time.
Just keep in mind that you WANT the money. Best of luck!
Thanks ... guess I'll have to check it out some time ... like I need to find more ways to goof of

I guess we have to wear ID bracelets "no docs not on approval list" nm

I have experienced all of the postings
below and they are my pet peeves too, but I have one doc that sometimes will not use the call in system, but uses his tape recorder to dictate and he does it while he is in a train station waiting for train, riding on the train, and leaving the train with his wife and kids talking right beside him, not to mention the noise from the train station, whistles and all. I get two 30 minute tapes a week of this guy and I seriously have a headache when I am done listening to it. Wish he would STAY HOME!! lol
And if you pay attention to all of her postings
strange
Maybe the job postings will stay the same

I read these postings quite often and am
a Transcriptionist of many, many years but from what I read many newbies come on here stating out of school and unable to find a job and asking how to go about it. Jobs are steady being sent overseas and I have seen companies state there is lack of qualified transcriptionists here. I see others complain about lack of work (which is happening to me on this particular day also). I did not feel qualified after a year of hospital inhouse training to go home and transcribe by myself. I think the majority of people are not trained efficiently for years and years. I do not think newbies would be qualified for VR work. I find it difficult after all the years I have behind me trying to still figure a medication out, just different aspects of it. I suppose a newbie could poke along and eventually make it but I think most companies would not want to put up with their training on the job.
It's funny that these postings would come up
right now because I've been considering nursing myself - I regret having not done something about it years ago, and I'll be 50 in August. Everyone keeps telling me it's not too late - I'm trying to believe that. I think I would be a good nurse. I've been an MT for over 20 years and I just can't stop thinking about what "could have been." My 24-year-old daughter is considering nursing and we have even talked about going to school together.
Paid per minute postings
Something rarely seen. Paid per minute of dictation. There are two rad jobs listed on MT Jobs board. I have always gotten paid by minute by my primary account. After working part-time for a few nationals this past year, I have learned getting paid per minute for radiology is not really worth it. For normal reports you have to process the report for pennies which in some systems (such as Meditech) takes time going through the different screens. For anyone applying for these positions, I would be interested in learning how much they are paying per minute.
I see all the postings about phone usage and I'm confused. sm
Are you talking about a long distance service you need to use a C-phone? Or are they questioning the use of your DSL connection?
What is with all the obvious spam postings today?

I do not think think her postings are 'preachy'. They are just matter of fact...
without the input of 'unnecessary' emotions.
Recent postings about "no work and so forth"
Quite a few posters who have been MTs for a number of years (myself included) have come under attack recently for comments posted here -- what those of us who have done this for years are seeing is "I only want to work certain hours, won't do weekends, don't want to be on call so on and so forth" Guess what? I got an email from my supervisor on Monday asking me to cover a certain work type while that person was on vacation -- I did it!!! -- She also called me today (Sunday and asked me to do 3 STATS -- I cover STATS on Wednesday) -- however, I did it because it it my JOB -- since I started this job in October, I have NEVER run ouf of work -- if the work type that I do runs out, I do to a differnt work type, it is similar to learning a new account which I have done in the past as well. All I want to say, is be grateful right now that you have a job and if the "work does not fit YOUR FAMILY SCHEDULE" then learn to adjust -- think PRIORITIES
No I don't think so. Everytime I see postings about the MT market failing it gets pegged as "n
that's what I think OP is referring to, postings about the dismal future of MT.
Regarding previous postings about large kittie cats--sm
There was a thread of posts about a week ago, or a little longer, concerning large kittie cats and litter boxes. There was one poster who had suggested using a large storage tub with a *door* cut into it and replacing it every six months. I would like to thank that poster tremendously!!! I have a large boy kittie who stands up to *P* and just sprayed every where. My ex and I had built a makeshift kittie litter box with plastic sides glued to it, so the cat wouldn't spray the walls, etc. My kittie would not go inside the covered litter boxes, either, so it was a mess. The makeshift litter box helped alot, but I really liked the idea of the storage tub and went to Walmart last weekend. My son said that my big kittie would not like it and would not use it, because my big boy kittie is afraid of EVERYthing. Well, I cut the *door* in the side of it, filled it with litter, and about two hours later, my big boy kittie was sticking his head in the door, checking it out, and then using it!! I was SO happy! He LOVES it! and so do I ! It was the best $7.00 I ever spent! So, to the lady who suggested it.....THANK YOU SO MUCH! If I could reach you, I would hug you! 
Have you noticed that practically all the job postings these days say experience with ESLs. It seems
like without good ESL experience anymore you wont even get a job. I think it is really heading that way. I do ESLs but not a lot so I need to get more experience doing that and take a big cut in pay to learn it but seems like it is almost a necessity.
But why sign it to put the past behind? The past should have
It seems that they dredged up the past by wanting the release signed to keep them out of trouble for unfair employment practices. Usually when a person ends the working relationship, they give formal written notice, the company accepts the notice, and the employment is over. Smells pretty fishy to send a termination agreement and, oh by the way, sign this release. LOL
Not to flame but every day there's posting after posting about how awful MQ is
Why does anyone still work there?
I don't get it.
It's healthy to enjoy some alone time. You'll adjust and enjoy it soon.

police?
imagine speaking about a topic, and having the police pick out one item and not have a thing to say about the topic itself. Must be interesting to just watch out for those mispelt words, and have nothing else to say. Must work for my old company. Everyone else is wrong - and you say nothing so you cannot be caught lol.
