In Reply to: I believe this person was scamed by KP (labjlm) - sm - Laura E.
even you and I talked about her. And, the person who has not yet shipped the footpedal is not Kristen Pineda. It is someone else from a completely different state. I have contacted the seller and let her know that she has 3 days to ship the pedal or I would file a police report myself as well as take legal action against her for conducting fraud on the MTStars website.

Therapy for what? Because I don't support any woman who spouts an idea because she is a woman?
And you fall into the "therapy" or drug routine? Why not address the issues. You want women to support women no matter how ridiculous the idea is or you want to support a truth, no matter who tells it. The rest of the "therapy" crap you post is BS. You must know that by now.
what Laura E. does is correct...sm
Monitors burn out every couple of years so turning off the monitor is essential......*S* Other than that, I leave the MQ computer on 24/7/365 turning the monitor off at night.
Laura, Don't Give Up!
Laura E, you feel strongly and you represent so many women in America -- but we don't understand you! Your argument on a logical level is HIGHLY ILLOGICAL, and therefore it does not hold water. Make it hold water! Come back and explain, please please please! Don't just say (in effect), Well that's what I think, so there. Not good enough and it makes your words be just so many grains of sand. Pull together a LOGICAL argument and turn your stance into something concrete, if you are able. Otherwise, your opinion -- and the opinions of millions of women just like you -- is nothing more than a that: a wispy, vacuous opinion, and you have not convinced a single person that your viewpoint is correct because it is logical. It is not.
Most definitely LAURA BUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nm

Laura w/drunk huby
 Get a voice activated one,keep it in a central spot where he's usually starting his crap. My ex had total amnesia the next day after his drunken rants...one night, he got so vicious, he started spewing how he was going to kill me..a long slow death...my DD had the wisdom to turn the recorder on...he never touched me, but I got us OUT before he could...That tape sealed my case on domestic violence charge AND the subsequent divorce....you could have heard a pin drop in that courtroom. Again, did not touch me "that night" but it was his thought that counted, against him LOL
Hey Laura - I live in Mechanicsville -
Didn't realize there were others on this board from my neck of the woods. Maybe we should start a dinner club for MTs?
Oh Laura - sorry to hear about your daughter....sm
I am glad that you got to make this special trip and know the memories will last all of your lifetime.
I agree with above, Laura's statement
I believe Edix at one time allowed their employees to stop early if they achieved their required line counts for the day. At least that is what I was told. It depends on the company. It's kind of crazy mentality to think you're "stealing" from the company if they require you to be on for 8 hours after you've achieved maximum lines for the day only to find out after the 6th hour there is no work available at all on any accounts! Stealing?? NOT!
So funny, Laura! Me, too, I wish I was back
in the 160s to 180s in weight!!! My IQ is probably going down, while my weight takes up the #s slack!! 
Laura's must be -20 cuz she married that stupid GW

Gloria by Laura Brannigan.
are you the same Laura E who did not even make 12k last year? That doesn't
sound like plenty of work. It sounds like PT and that does not mean that there is enough for FT.
Thanks Laura. I didn't seem my first open casket until
I was in my mid 20's and I just about passed out. I had never been to one. Although I respect and understand other religions and rituals, my husband is not a practicing Catholic and feels the same way that I do.
I appreciate your input. It's a tough decision.
Laura Bush. Not to start an argument, LOL, I really do. nm

Laura=nice lady but seems so nebish-like..nm
I like Laura Bush, She has alot of class.
If we want to get personal about the husband situation, then I mean come on, who can forget all of Bill Clintion's antics?? Ole' Hillary stayed w' him just to further her career. To me personally, When I look at the current Bushs I can see they they like each other, even DARE I DAY IT< LOVE each other. With the Clinton's all you got was cold air from Hillary, but then again who can blame her? But she is the one who stayed......so I don't feel bad for her at all.
THESE ARE JUST MY OPINIONS!!!!!! Everyone have a wonderful day!!!!
Laura, the person who scammed the OP is not Kristen Pineda. This is a
completely different person altogether. We are dealing with the situation from this end. Thank you.

Anyone know of online production seminars for WP like Laura Bryan offers
for Word? I have only used Word before, now new company requires WP. Just feel like I'm grinding gears trying to get used to this. I would like to start with the basics. Thanks.
I don't need to research what I said SM
and you are right that many people cannot afford the insurance, but guess what--I couldn't afford insurance on what I make as an MT even if my company offered it. WM is not perfect. I worked for them for many years, and my husband is still mgmt for them. We both have seen things that we did not agree with, but I don't necessarily agree with everything I see in MT either or any other company for that matter. I can go in Target and find things that aren't right. I can go in any of the grocery stores and see things that aren't right. WM gets a lot of bad press because of its size, some of it deserved, some not, but you can't believe everything you hear from your WM newsgroup.
Did YOU do any research on this???
x
IMO, it is not for asking others to do research
MTs who dont do their own research, just want QA to do that for them.
I did my research
I understand some people would try to get the answers and have "someone else do the work" as someone put it... but I have read through my books and been on so many website it was quite rediculous. I actually used this site as a last resort and have been doing research for 2 days before I made a post on another site last night and then here today.
research
It's one of my favorite parts of this job. I never worked in-house (except for 1 week in the office of my first MTSO, which was a very small company). Did not go to MT school either so do not how they teach there (is there an emphasis on researching terms?). . Started with a better-than-average knowledge of medical terminology/anatomy and physiology and strong interest in medicine. Bought books and did lots of looking up and learned on the job (with QA at first). Without an interest in medicine this would be a very boring job. I now primarily use the Internet for research because I know how to distinguish the good references from the bad, but there are still times I would rather consult a book. I would like to have an opththalmology book; that is one I have never had. - 15 year MT
I did look at your piece of research
and I am not seeing it. I don't think that all MTs will be out of work. There will be demand for editors, etc. I will stay in the field until I am told they don't need me anymore.
Research results
I checked on finasteride, and unfortunately it does not have great results for male acne. And it occasionally causes gynecomastia. BUT, here is a link to a cystic acne heater device:

You should research other websites because sm
Most of the information in the article doesn't coincide with any of the Biblical principles followed by the Christian churches in America today. Throughout the entire Bible, old and NT, we are taught to refrain from witchcraft, mediums, those who speak to the dead, or any kind of honoring of the dead. Christians are only to pay homage to God through Jesus Christ.
Actually I did some research about a year ago
and found out that in my state a surgical technician makes less than I do. Now THAT is messed up, in my opinion! Go figure.
I don't know, I can see that when first starting out a person doesn't have the knowledge and experience that they will gain by working on the job. At the very beginning a new MT is going to be less productive due to needing to build Expander list, look up terms that they do not understand, etc. So it makes sense to me that they get paid a bit lower at the beginning.
Now where I work they recently raised the minimum starting wage, so there are people coming in with about half my experience making almost as much if not as much as I do- that is kinda discouraging. I have complained and am waiting for their "response."
Poster IS doing research - here!
How better to research this subject than to personally ask a whole bunch of medical transcriptionists who actually do/have done this? Let's applaud the efforts of the poster rather than bash them!!
Thanks for your help. I'll research it more. Thx again. NM

Thanks Jamie for doing the research sm
maybe they will throw EMT jack off the board. Whoever EMT jack is makes me sick to my stomach. I knew he didn't know anything about MT.
newbies don't want to research?
It almost sounds like it is crime to be a "newbie" reading some of the posts here. If you invest your money in a really good MT school you learn how to research, you have the basic knowledge, and you also have a good library of reference books. There is nothing wrong asking for help on the word board unless you are a student.
It sounds like you've done your research, and your
grammar, English, and spelling skills are better than most MT wannabes. LOL You could do your schooling, then work parttime for a while. That's what I did for the first several years. I worked two hours before the kids got up, another two hours during naptime, then finish up after DH or my older kid got home to watch the little one for an hour. It was slow going for a while there until my typing speed got faster and my terminology increased, but it beat paying daycare.
My information is from recent research >>>
for an MT's job search directory, and so far less than 1% of facilities, including hospitals, clinics, major healthcare providers and individual practices, have an awareness of AAMT/CMT.  With the current "unrest" even among members, as well as the move toward an AMA-sponsored MT association, I still believe CMT is not of much value - unless things change dramatically and soon.

Press Release
MoHCA Appoints Tessier as Executive Director
Mobile Healthcare Alliance Chair Ann Geyer Announces Appointment of Claudia Tessier, CAE, as MoHCA's Executive Director
WASHINGTON DC, September 1, 2001
Mobile Healthcare Alliance (MoHCA) is a not-for-profit organization formed to help healthcare vendors and providers influence the adoption of standard practices in mobile data management to ensure professional practices and patient trust. It announces now the selection of Claudia Tessier, CAE, as its Executive Director.
Tessier will direct MoHCA activities throughout the United States and internationally from its Washington DC office. She brings to MoHCA 18 years of association executive experience and leadership in healthcare informatics. She currently serves as chair of ASTM's standards committee E31 for healthcare informatics and is a member of numerous standards organizations including ANSI Health Informatics Standards Board and ISO TC 215 on Health Informatics.
"Mobile health care will facilitate a revolution in health care, and I am excited to head this organization, which will help providers and vendors address the issues of security standards, interoperability, and information management," said Tessier.
"Tessier's experience in data capture and health informatics standards provides an exciting background for MoHCA to become the leading organization to address privacy, interoperability, and user issues in mobile data management," noted Ann Geyer, Chair of the MOCHA Board of Directors.
Palm, Inc. is one of the founding members of MoHCA. "Many mobile healthcare applications are very promising, but user acceptance and confidentiality must first be resolved," said Dan Glessner, Director of Enterprise Marketing at Palm. "We are pleased that MoHCA has attracted an executive director of Tessier's caliber. She has the necessary experience and expertise to assist the board in developing MoHCA as the leader in resolving the issues that will enable widespread adoption of mobile healthcare applications."
"The healthcare industry presents a huge potential market for mobile technology products, but there are real issues related to data integration standards as well as data privacy and security. MoHCA is an excellent forum for really understanding the requirements and developing workable standards and best practices. With Tessier to lead and help grow the organization, MoHCA's ability to influence positive action is greatly enhanced," noted Paul Steinichen, Vice President of Enterprise Technology Solutions at First Consulting Group.
MoHCA Members
The diverse membership of MoHCA is unified by a shared interest of ensuring that mobile applications are incorporated into healthcare processes with appropriate regard for the privacy, confidentiality, and security of health information.
MoHCA Members include wireless carriers, application developers, device manufacturers, system integrators, technology consultants, practitioners, healthcare professional societies, and healthcare organizations.

Very interesting. Thanks. Gonna research
to see if there are any natural/alternatives remedies to help battle them, as I suffer from chronic RSI problems, as well as malaise.
Think you need to do more research than the negative answers you are getting.
They have at least 2 platforms, Dictaphone and Merit. Not sure about all this offshoring stuff, but there is more than enough work. The Dictaphone platform is much better than Merit. I am able to use my text Expander or it has a built-in one. You need to do some searching on the company board on the archives, as there are happy MTs working for Medware.
I refuse to do it. I have research papers, etc.
get in the habit of doing INCORRECT things just to please AAMT. If it means I can't be an MT after 25 years of MTing, then so be it. But I learned English many years ago and every other facet of my life still requires PROPER English/punctuation and I'm not going to learn a bastardized version for AAMT. AAMT can kiss my hiney!
Sorry about your experience. Research at dslreports.com. nm

No doubt!! MTs should be good at research.
Why would anyone just ASSume that someone is lying? Sad.
You need to do a little more in-depth research on AAMT... s/m
They are also really big on VR. Were damantly "against" it a few years back, all of a sudden did a 360 and now some of its biggest national company fans, who currently own MT companies, are getting into the VR business. Hmmm..... does one smell a rat? Or at the very least a conflict of interest? And no, I'm not one of the "cloistered" - I work onsite and am out there lookin', listnen' and learnin'. And while out and about doing a little info-gathering on AAMT, discovered that it has done far more HARM to the profession than good.
Coool. I'll do some research on this! ~Thank you~

Opinion -- Do your own durn research!
My MTSO recently added new transcribers to a growing account that I've been working on for the past three years. Yes, it is a very difficult account. I was more than happy for the first month or so with constant IMs, phone calls at home and on my cell phone to "listen to this", emails with c&pd parts of the report asking for help filling in the blanks, did I know this doc name, etc.
Okay, it's been a month. I'm still getting questions constantly about things that I had to figure out for myself when I started the account! I had nobody to help me, as it was a new account and I had never done this specialty before, so I know it's possible to just do your research. I'm now getting moronic questions.
Do you know this doctor's first name? (Uhhhh, it's in the phone book, the Blue Book, in Google...) Am I spelling this procedure right? (Hello! Stedman's Word Book, about a million online references, a dictionary, a decent spell checker...) Does this look right to you? (then one of them IMs me a sentence that no, does not look right, but a little research would tell you that you've got the wrong word in there if they're talking about pain in the hip and you're using the name for a part of the small intestine!) Come ON! If you don't know the difference between the ilium and the ileum, what are you doing in transcription?
The point is that I don't have time for this, when time is money and I only get paid by the line. I've spent an average of an hour a day for over a month holding these girls' hands. It's getting ridiculous, especially when I'm being asked questions that they could solve themselves with some RESEARCH. I don't feel like I can "tattle" to my MTSO, because I don't trust him that much anyway -- He is as subtle as a freight train and would just make things difficult. I may need these people to fill in for me now and then.
I've handled it by logging out of IM when I need to just get busy and work, not answering the phone when I need to work, etc. I am considering sending out an email asking these people to stop calling and IMing me, because I need to keep my work "rhythm", but to rather email me the question and I will get back to them before the end of the business day if it's something I know they probably cannot find on their own with research.
Something like that. Does anyone have any ideas for how to word this if that does not sound right?
