I've got 4 siblings, I'm #4, who were
too busy with their own lives when my parents were dying. I was the only one with small children, but I worked at home so I didn't really work. I cooked all the meals, did the grocery shopping, kept my parent's house spotless, etc. I did it because of who I am. I did it because it was the right thing to do and because the thought never entered my mind not to do it. I admit there are times I was resentful and occasionally still have those feelings towards my siblings. It will destroy you if you have resentment towards your siblings, even though it could certainly be justified. When you lay your head down at night you know YOU did the right thing, and you need to just accept that you're in this alone. The way I found to cope was to disown my siblings. It was not in me to forgive and forget and my siblings were people I would NEVER have as friends. I always thought I was the black sheep, but now I'm proud that I am.
You can get back payments for disability. It took my mom about a year to get certified and she got back payments for 14 months or so. File for Medicaid to help with medical expenses. Don't know if it may be possible to sell your mom's house and have her move in with you or vice versa. It may not be the ideal situation, but it would eliminate you working at the casino and would cut down on your running around and allow you more time with your family. You could also look into selling your mom's home and her going into a nursing home, or at least an assisted living facility. You could ask siblings to contribute some to her upkeep at a facility. You could get a home health aide that could come in for a couple of hours a day and help with meals and bathing, basic chores - at least one day a week at least to give you a break.
I've left my e-mail addy if you want to talk.
Money, money, money, mmonnneyyy. Singing the Apprentice song.

I think this subject needs to be dropped.
/
Yes. I know of 9 people who have dropped them
nm
LOL that's what I did when I dropped the lamp on my toe
and broke it. However, Ms. Siren, if I were you I would not worry so much about the FMLA or the FMLA scammer gal you have working in your department and start worrying about the bigger picture when y'all are here in the jungle with the rest of us. JMHO.
I think she dropped a period.
As in: I didn't. Thank you very much.
I dropped my CMT about 5 years ago...
when I was actually told by an MTSO that they wouldn't hire me because of it - thought I would expect too much money and that they couldn't afford me. I haven't used CMT after my name or anywhere on my resume since.
My insurance has nothing to do with it, I had just dropped my collision - sm
So I am going through the woman who hit me insurance. They are not going to give me a penny more if I don't fight. I have gotten her up a bit in the #s but it is still ridiculously low. They will cover my medical expenses though I have not signed the forms as yet to grant them access to them, just want to make sure I am not signing something I shouldn't. I mentioned I lost $350 in lost wages alone, plus I've had to take my truck back 3 x so far for their incompetant repair peoples mistakes and things they tried to pull over on me....but I have sharp eyes and caught all the obvious things anyway. I used their services to repair it so I did not pay a penny except I did have to take it to my dealer to have a rattle fixed, they did not tighten/attach my hood back on right. They reimbursed me for that bill, but granted not the 2 hours I was out. I have been saving all my receipts too. Which is why I feel it will be inevitable to get a lawyer involved, hate to do it but then again I did not ask to be hit either.
All child molesters should be dropped off .....
in the prison yard of a hard core maximum security prison, filled with lifers who have absolutely nothing to lose, with a sign tattooed on their forehead that they are child molesters. Nature would take care of itself.
MT on account has dropped production.
MT tells me they have decided to drop production on an account I share with them.
Between the three of us, we managed okay. Now with her drop in line count, the burden falls of the MT at the end of the shift. I wanted to tell this MT that she set the pace and now, if they do not continue it, we will have backlog (and we do). The other two of us are already typing at full throttle. Our account is going out of TAT.
Has this even happened to any of you and how should I handle this?
I dropped my membership after 13 years.
I dropped my AAMT and CMT 15 years or so ago because
they were not working for our benefit, CMT did not matter to employers and just seemed to be interested in puffing up their own chests and making up education/certification requirements to become an MT which no employer ever took seriously.
I have watched as they have aided the decline of our wages.
I have watched as they have condoned changing of counting methods to scam and deprive MTs of income. Now we don't even get paid for time checking and entering patient information. I have watched as they have aided those sending our work overseas.
Now, upon changing to AHDI, they have done away with chapters. They don't want us to meet and network. It was hard, but I recently reconnected with the chapter I used to be in. I had quit the chapter because, at that time, you had to be a member of AAMT, and I was not/am not willing to support AAMT and what they were doing/did to us. It was hard to find them, because there are no more chapters (except for the few who refuse to die).
Although I really like doing the MT work, hopefully I will be in a completely different profession next year. Although, it is hard to finance retraining in another profession with my wages in the dumps and not being able to cut back on work time because I would not be able to pay my bills.
Unfortunately, the small MT service I worked for was snuffed out by the Indian workers, and the MT job I have now pays a lot less, has done what they can to decimate my wages and is now shipping off as much work as fast as they can to India. I hope I will have been able to complete retraining and left before that time.
But it's nobody's fault but the MTSO that the prices have dropped.
THEY were the ones who started the offshore outsourcing in an attempt to make a bigger profit and get more clients. Figuring that they could pay Indian transcriptionists 3 or 4 cpl, they could offer the clients a cheaper rate. By doing this, the MTSO changed the field forever into the cut-throat market it is today. The MTSO virtually eliminated the independent transcriptionist from the market who was able to have a few accounts and making a lucrative living and the larger MTSOs are putting the smaller ones out of business. The MTSOs brought it upon themselves and now everyone in the field is suffering because of it, including the patient. I feel no pity for them whatsoever.
Transcription companies have already dropped out income into
McDonald's pays (starts!!!) at $9 in our town (in the South, mind you) plus benefits.
It is not worth being somebody's slave anymore, and that's what these MT companies (MQ in particular with their new toy) want us to agree to.
Let them get up off some money and treat us like professionals and I may come back. I like medicine and have many years of knowledge.
But doctors and nurses aren't working for pennies and I'm finished working for pennies for these companies.
and Bill Gates dropped out of college when he
became a millionaire! and the Google owners are young too! Just people with "visions." Wish I had some visions, LOL.
My levels dropped and then went back up. I did not miscarry. nm

Kaiser recently dropped transcription
Even their op reports. I don't know how you can do touch-screen op reports. I would like to know how this works if anybody does know out there
Oops......post dropped my same rules & regs. Sorry.

I used filtered water with frozen fruit dropped in it

oh geeze - 4-6% wage decrease, I/we should be so lucky!! My pay has dropped (sm)
30% - yes, that's right 30 PERCENT!! - in the last ten years. This is all due to the new and improved (ahem!) creative ways of now counting the lines and what's included and what's not included. You can't tell me doctors aren't making money these days. If there were no money to be made, NOBODY would want to become one!!
super told me to meet lines of 12000 or be dropped to SE
i thought there was only 2 types of employees; statutory or full time
I was thinking with ASR for MQ. They have dropped the line rate 2 cents as of October 1. Now, if
we get a lower line rate starting January 1 based on incentive then I expect the ASR 2 cent reduction will be based on that new line rate so it would actually be lower than it is now assuming they lower our new pay plan rates and I am sure they wont raise them. I wonder how this will play out.
Question re elderly patient being dropped by long-time PCP. sm
My SIL's mother was dropped as a patient by her long-time PCP (who also treats 4 other family members). The reason was that the elderly woman (upper 80s, status post back surgery and recent hip surgery) had missed too many appointments. Mind you my SIL always called when her mother could not make an appointment due to physically not being able to keep the appointment. An office person told my SIL on the QT the real reason was because the doc couldn't get as much reimbursement from insurance on elderly people. Mind you, this woman has her regular insurance plus Medicare. What is up with this. I never heard of such a thing. Anyone? 
That is what I'm trying to do. I've picked up some smaller accounts, dropped the national, an
very hard to cut my hours. It takes time learning the new docs and systems, but I'm sure soon I'll be working less (I pray).
Thanks for your thoughts. I should have never gotten used to the bonus $$.
Make money? I'm not making any money because of my decision. You read my reasoning
You can agree with me or not, but don't make false assumptions please.
You're working to make money, not to spend money.
These people should be ashamed of themselves taking advantage of people this way!
I also blew some money signing up with Quixtar... The only way to make any money is to bug everyone
you know into signing up. I felt like a snake oil huckster. I hated it. I was flushing money down the toilet from the moment I handed over my money.
RUN, do not walk away! I do an entirely different side business now that I really love (in addition to my MTing, which I also love!) Find something you're good at and that you truly love doing. Then make a business out of it. That's the best way to have a side business. Selling discount toilet paper through Amway/Quixtar? Not so much.
The CMT exam is overrated. Don't waste your time & money. Use that money on
paid anymore just because you have it. There are a few CMT cheerleaders that post to people like you but they are pretty well sucked up into that association.
Yeah, money, that's it. I paid $20.00 for my dog. Money is NOT THE ISSUE
walk him daily, play ball daily, he sleeps in my office daily while I work. Yeah, I got a lot of money, NOT HARDLY. And, my dog is HORRIBLY HORRIBLY ABUSED because he wears a collar around his neck. It's people like you that make me sick. I am done defending my use of the shock collar. I am going to continue with it and my dog will continue to be pampered , educated, fed, kept warm, and love me for everything that I do for him even when I remind him that his barking needs to stop. So, with that said, I will not respond to any more of your CRAP in reference to the shock collar.
Money is money and most people will do whatever it takes when in need. sm
if you do bring it to the attn of the office manager, why not offer her a raise to compensate. it is obvious she just needs or wants more money than your office is paying her. I agree, it is a free country and although it seems odd, unless you had it outlined in contract, she can work for whomever or whereever she pleases on the side. at least she is typing and not at a strip joint, lol. I see no conflict of interest, she has experience obviously in whichever field you are in and what is wrong with doing extra in that field. i agree with MYOB "nicely" and concentrate on your reports than looking at older reports and seeing who they are typed by.
No need to wonder..It always means less money for the MT and more money for MQ.

Money, honey, money!!!!!!.

One year and you make decent money? What is decent money to you?

Here's how to get your money....sm
Do an internet search for the small claims court that she would need to report to. Typically this would be either the city or county her business is in or she lives in if she doesn't have an official business name.
File the claim and in the claim be sure to include that you're seeking the costs of travel to court if she fails to pay up ahead of time, as well as the time off from your current job. You can even give rough estimates for the plane fare, hotel, rental car and time off from work.
Generally speaking most small claims court cases are heard within 30-60 days. All you'll need is to take the judge proof of the work you did, money she owes and that she flat out refuses to pay.
Once you win the case (and you will if you can prove you did the work and she agreed to pay you) then immediately file a lien against her home or business - that will quickly get her attention that she needs to pay you, because if she doesn't pay up quickly then she risks losing her home or business to you. You can do all of this without collection attorneys or any attorney - this type of thing is generally handled by individuals since the dollar amount isn't high enough for an attorney to be interested.
I had one friend who recently won a small claims court case against a car dealership over a faulty engine that was sold to him and the owner refused to pay him until he placed the lien against the business.... and of course the owner realized he wasn't playing games any longer and had the cash ready that afternoon (I told my friend to place the lien and insist on cash only, no cashier's checks, no checks, etc - cold hard cash!).
Good luck!
Less money
Also don't forget that some accounts are not paid for spaces which is a substantial loss in lines.
The money is going to...
The DOCTORS! I googled "radiologist salary" and WOW. Average salary for a radiologist is $500,000 - and that's just average. OMG. Boy am I in the wrong field!
Oh, and money would have gotten more
of those refugees out before the storm hit. They were too poor and had no transportation -- that was why they were left behind.
Money IS important before, during, and after disasters.
less money with MQ
i hear ya on that. I was making between $16-20/hour. there are some days i do good to hit the $10 mark with the lovely foreign dictators.
Here's how to get your money....sm
Send her a certified/return receipt letter giving her 7 business days to get the money to you via a cashier's check or you will file a claim against her in small claims court. You don't need an attorney to do this - just contact the city or county courthouse in the town/county the business is located and file a complaint. Be sure to ask that the filing fees as well as time off from work and travel expenses to be reimbursed if you have to show up to small claims court. Most of these cases are heard in 30-60 days. Good luck!
No money down
My husband and I both had very low scores, but the mortgage company searched and got us a 6% interest rate on the house we wanted, no money down, and we even got money at close. There are ways. A good mortgage company will work for you! Our scores were less than 600.
Here's how to get your money ....sm
file a claim against them in small claims court - in most jurisdictions these cases are heard within 30-60 days. When you win (and you will as long as you can prove the money is owed) immediately file a lien against the business - this will keep them from obtaining any bank loans and you could potentially force them to sell the business to pay you off.
I personally would never work for anyone who missed a pay day with me - I have a rule that if you screw me once that's it - no more chance to mess with me again. There are way too many transcription jobs out there .
As far as notifying the clients most clients probably aren't going to care and will consider it a personnel issue with the vendor.
what does he does with his money
maybe he doesn't wear his generosity on his sleeve and keeps his donations and causes private.
Her money? Maybe some of it, but
  a lot of the things she seems to take credit for are donated by the manufacturers or come out of her "Angel Network". I quit watching her after she made such a spectacle of herself after Katrina. Her and Tom Cruise are on my boycott list.
MONEY.
:)
get your money
At all costs, do not let $1,900 slip away. Don't be so quick to give your information to them. Hold out for your check.

more money ??? LOL
It is often less because many places want to pay by the report - piddling $1.00-$1.24. Wait til you see the CTs and MRIs and interventional reports - 30/40/50 lines. Per line is the only way to go with this. I would imagine it would not be difficult to learn tho, just a lot of detailed structural anatomy.
lol Thanks. And what is that? Someone who gives money? nm

It isn't always about money though..
Happiness isn't always about making money. My husband makes enough to pay the bills and to have a little on the side. What I make is for the extra things that we want to buy. I do want to have a backup degree though, and yes I am considering it. I just stopped taking classes last semester because it was too much with my kids and this job. Plus we are moving here in a month or so. I will probably go back for some summer classes and then next fall.
No money is enough, sm.
I had close relationships with two people in management and the headaches they had to deal with,,,,,you could not pay me enough. Working way more than a 40 hour week, having to deal with irate clients, having to pick up any slack whenever someone didn't show to work, having to be go between for MTs and upper management, which is often in a third world country and with a different work standard than the US, difficulty with managing work flow. My wants are simple so I am MORE than happy to just keep my head down, do my work and cash my check. Someone else can have the headaches.
They come to U.S. for the money
because most likely in their country they are treated worse than teachers are in ours, no money and no respect.
