calm, simple, short repetitious answers
"I have to work, I'm on a schedule, I'm still working, I'm clocked in";
and....repeat.
I found pain clinic to be very boring, but you can rack up a lot of lines with all the repetitious

Is this the nonsense produced
by the "University" of Phoenix? Too bad your husband can't attend a real school.
Fortunately, I did not have to waste my time in such a place. I have a B.A. from Michigan and an M.A. from USC. I also skipped a grade at the private school I went to in Bloomfield Hills, and still graduated in the top 1% of the class.
My father is a dentist, and I did not need financial aid.
BTW, I'm black. I have confused a lot of racist white people, and it has been interesting to watch them struggle with their limited beliefs.
In any case, some of the comments here are ignorant, and reflect a limited exposure to the world. If this is the intellectual level of some MTs, no wonder this profession is deteriorating. Fortunately, I have other options.
Is it really a gift when you have to compete for it? Nonsense.

You are blabbering only nonsense, take 2 Xanax
and go and have some scary nightmares!
Maybe you took them already, therefore your senseless postings!
nonsense - we can all express our views...we are all adults (sm)
I just felt compelled to share this information because I just learned it.
haha - I was on atkins for 4 years, all I did was eat meat!
It just seemed important to me, like I feel it is another thing I have been 'lied' to by the government. You find the reality of things, and it is not how it is supposed to be.
Please post recipes because I still have to cook meat for my boyfriend...I just ask for forgiveness first...smile!
Nonsense! Drug books are dead (sm)
The net is ///far/// more useful than outdated books or electronic word products, for MTs with any kind of experience, that is. @_@ If you're a student or new, you do need a good drug book. Drake & Drake is the best; there will be an electronic version next year.
Try the link below for Drugs @ FDA. That's one of the essential links on my IE toolbar. (I know; every time you use IE, god kills a kitten, but w/some work platforms, I have to use it.) You can search generic/brand names using ^*^any 3 consecutive characters^*^ in the name. Try doing that with Quick Look, which only lets you wildcard the beginning OR the end of the word or individual characters. Nothing's more up to date than the FDA!
Using AutoHotKey or Active Words plus the newest download of Google Toolbar (google pones!), you can set up a quick little app to automatically highlight the last word you typed and send a search without leaving your document.
MT references were essential in the "old days" [meaning pre-2000?] when one had to really know how to use a search engine to find med equipment or drugs. Now every equip and drug mfgr has a website. Most of the new drugs have their own websites. Google's awesome ability to figure out what one wants from a phonetic spelling has officially killed the MT word reference publishing industry.
Louise Hayes is a nut writing all of that nonsense.
Don't waste your money.
Can we have a MQ board so I can see posts about other things insstea of this nonsense
This is not a Medquist board. It is being monopolized by MQ complaints again. Cant you go to MQ and complain instead of coming here where no one cares?
This has been going on and on and on and no one is getting the point. GET A NEW JOB WITH SOMEONE OTHER THAN MQ 
That is nonsense! Most hospitals do not support offshoring and the companies
doing it are going against their contracts without the client/hospitals knowing it.
Come on as a small MTSO myself, we are paid way more than 8 cpl, more into the 15-20 cpl range. Share the wealth with those who are doing the work, and you will always be successful!
I am so tired reading about how the MTSO can only charge so little. That is nonsense! You know it and I know it.
Be honest -there are some very hard working MTs with excellent quality and work ethic, and they need to be paid for their expertise!
That's all I have to said. I am very irritated reading post after post about how little profit there is in the MT industry. That is a joke. This is a multi-billion dollar industry.
I didn't apply, so that's a moot point. The point I was making is that
she's ranting here about something that doesn't even pertain to most of us. You can't come to a MT message board railing at MTs without getting a response. That's why it's not called MTSOstars. Also, it's unprofessional of a business owner to let her emotions overrule her common sense. As for the newbies, they'll learn. We were all newbies at one time or another. None of us was born perfect, not even the MTSO.
You missed my point. My point wasn't perks but prestige...nm
nm
The point wasn't that it was copyrighted. The point the poster tried to make
:(
That's not my point. My point is previous owner hired
nm
not my point, actually. My point was the bigotry is the same.
The bigotry's always there. Not all "Mexicans" are Mexican, nor are they all illegal. My point is, though, people used to make remarks about cabbage smell about the Irish just like comments are made now about how nasty Mexicans are.
Every time somebody says something about "those people," something bigoted is coming out. That's all I'm saying.
Straight up!!!!! LOL nm
.
Okay, let me get this straight.
So, Meredith, Star and now Eliabeth are all leaving? And you think Joy's going to put up with Rosie??!? Highly unlikely. Wow, I guess that's the end of the View as we know it. What a shame!
You got that right, straight and
pretty wordy reports. Just not showing up for a few seconds but also audio is jerking along, word....wor....d… word…wor…d
I have my facts straight.
Comments by people on message boards don't matter. It's the BBB complaints and lawsuits that back up my facts. Of course, people are going to say good things about a product or service in order to sell, sell, sell. It's called damage control.
Your going straight to hell.

Yep, STRAIGHT TO HELL...
I wouldn't stand near you in a lightning storm for anything. You are amazingly cruel, bordering on evil.

Anything else you care to complain about?
No straight answers
What is so hard about answering questions? sheesh
150 wpm straight typing.....sm
In high school 1st quarter typing I was doing 70 wpm, by the end of the 1st year of typing in high school I was at 100 wpm. At the end of the 2nd year of typing I was averaging 140 wpm.
They better get that description straight
Im sure that they made a mistake but that really is not helping on our self esteem. Maybe we could write our representatives to rectify the problem?
I don't as I know several straight male MTs...sm
just like I know some straight male nurses.
Would a straight line be the
or what is a straight line???
Straight from Escription
I pulled this page from their knowledge base of information: Hope it helps.
Can you fax straight from computer
Can you fax it straight from your computer so that you don't have to print and then put in fax machine? If not, how long does it take? My charge would depend on the time it takes you to do this and how many a day you fax over. Keep track of how many you do per month and see what you feel it is worth. If it just takes a couple of minutes and is only one or two per week, I would do a minimal charge but if it becomes more often or ends up taking more time, figure at a rate of $30 per hour and divide that into the time it takes to do one fax and charge that per fax.
I have faxed over some things and not charged anything as I can just fax from my computer and all I do is go to print and select fax, the page number, put in the number and send. So it is not that time comsuming for me. But if it were a daily thing, I would charge something.
gross/straight
what is the difference between the two when charging a physician. thank you for your help!
Are you asking for VR or straight typing?
VR will give you much higher line counts but not at 7-10 cpl.
Straight typing please (nm)

For those who have gone from straight typing to VR...
What sort of training did you get? What sorts of things did you wish you'd gotten for training? Thanks :-)
Get your facts straight
"This whole mess" as you put it started long before Clinton became president. Also, remember he was dealing with a Republican congress, which is where NAFTA originated. Reagan was the culprit - it was during his decade of greed that America put itself up for the highest bid - like a lady of the night.
I have straight typing in there as well
so that pay is higher and I have speed on fast forward. If you have the speed, probably can do the 3000 or better a day. I set the goal for myself at 3000 so I would bring home what I wanted every 2 weeks.
THAT sure sounds like it was straight out of
"I'm good enough, and I'm smart enough, and doggone it - people LIKE me!"
;)
Is this straight typing....
What exactly are you typing?
vr versus straight
I make more money doing straight typing as well. Boy, is this an offer from TTS in NH?
Get your facts straight
I cannot believe how ignorant some of the comments in this section are. Physicians from other countries go to medical school in their own country. When they come to the United States, they must pass a Foreign Medical Graduate examination. In addition, they must complete their residency here in the U.S. They also must pass the test to obtain their medical license in the state in which they wish to practice. You don't just go to a mediocre school in another country and then come here and set up practice.
This hourly is for doing straight QA, but you
have to transcribe if they need you to in an emergency, like usual companies. I don't know how much experience you need, I just took the test and I did so well they offered me the QA. But, I have done MT and QA in the past, and have lots of experience. You may as well take the test and give it a try, why not. Good luck!
Get your story straight...
You said above: Morally, especially the "f" word, I can't bring myself to even type it out.
Now you claim you were just asking the question because you were curious. Our point is, if it's part of the medical record you need to type it. As someone else said, if you are bothered by just typing the F word, does it also bother you to type abortions, etc.? You are in the wrong line of work if typing a word bothers you so much that you "can't bring yourself to type it".
The difference here is it came straight
xx
I do straight transcription.
I was just wondering about the reports I send to QA. They're making great money off me because I rarely have more than 1 blank and most of the time they can't get it either.
Taken straight from the email nm

Are you doing SR or straight transcription?
Will that be entirely VR or any straight included?
NM
You did not answer, do you also do straight
along with this? Did someone tell you about you could double or triple your line count?
Straight Talk manual
I had emailed you and asked you to contact me for information regarding a manual. You can download it at Dictaphone's website, but since it has been a week or two since I emailed you I can't remember exactly where on their website. I guess just do some looking around. I think it was in frequently asked questions or something like that.
Why don't you set the record straight Ms. AAMT?
Why are you sooooooo defensive?
Setting the record straight
You purchased an IN-155 foot pedal for compatiblility with DVI VoiceWav. (We have sold nearly 1,000 of these with zero returns.)
When you called our toll free 800 number for support we told you that the problem was not the pedal and was either the software you were using or your computer. Reluctantly, we agreed to do an exchange for you. (FYI, when your first pedal came back to us it worked absolutely perfectly and still does. In fact it is plugged into the same computer I am typing on at this moment. It has been tested daily since it came back with no problems).
Now, you voice incorrect information on MTStars. Your problem is in your computer.
Please feel free to call us yet again if this is not clear to you.

Try straight white vinegar. sm
I use it all the time. Of course, the smell is horrible but at least it is better than some of that stuff you buy in the store. I usually rinse it real well after and then dry everything.
