of your own? You could get one from another company, I'm sure, but would it reflect the information you need to know?
For example, if you need orthopedic MTs versus ophthalmologic MTs, asking which is correct in Tenon versus tenon or sub-Tenon verus subtenon would be important and might not be on a test you pull from someone else.
I could be wrong, but I'm wondering if you haven't had to do much testing personally that you wouldn't know what you would want in your own test??

yes, by the 2nd offense they ought to be

Sorry, no offense to you.

No offense was taken. I'm just sorry that your
experience with those few you have met has not been good.

I understand. I was not familiar until today that AHDI is the former AAMT. I have not read an AAMT publication in years. I don't particularly like their "core" values, politics etc. I was just doing the CMT thing for myself as well as other schooling/certifications. My way of coming back into the real world after a very devastating illness!
Don't worry about it really.
Take care
No offense but -
With all due respect, being able to stay home with one's children is NOT a perfect reason to become an MT. I believe there are certain personality characteristics, IMO, that one must have in order to be successful in this industry.
~First of all, in order to be a *successful* MT, one must have not only an excellent grasp of the English language, both written and spoken, but also an 'ear' for picking up and deciphering various other native tongues as well.
~On top of that, one must have above-average instincts and inherent skills for research, as this career requires not simply typing what you think you hear, but many times doing extensive investigation to make sure you are indeed hearing correctly.
~An excellent memory; the ability to recall the spelling of a medication or a syndrome or a genetic disorder without having to look it up each time it is encountered is invaluable in this field.
~Last but definitely not least, I feel in order to be successful in this field, one must have a keen interest in the medical field. These aren't simply words we're transcribing; they're legal medical documents. If one does not have a love of the medical field and an enjoyment of learning something new almost daily, this is NOT an appropriate career.
I'm sorry, but with all due respect, you choosing to enter a field simply to stay home with the kiddies is not enough. Without the necessary drive and willingness to learn, one is destined for failure. Unfortunately, it sounds as if perhaps you already have failed.
Please overlook any typos; I've been working 10 hours and my dinner is awaiting me :-)
that's hilarious! No offense, of course!
Sounds like something I would do... I actually did LOL!
No offense meant, but how do you know this? Again, I am not s/m
trying to be rude--this is an honest question. Is there someone we can read about these differences (production-based versus other)? Thanks in advance.
No offense, but this made me laugh.....
Where do you live that you get polite customer service from McDonald's? lol. I'm lucky if they acknowledge me when they stick their hand out the window for my money.
OK. No offense back at you. I said it below. If you have an employer you are not an IC! Get your own
nm
Why would you take offense? It is the real world and it exists.
It is not meant to be offending to anyone, just an honest statement made by someone. Everyone grew up differently with different values and "prejudices" handed down to them, or "on them", and we as adults see that and try to correct it. Prejudice is learned, and I for one am learning how not to be prejudice!
Use high speed internet. No offense taken. nm

I have to agree with this..... no offense intended, but it is true. nm

No offense, but big deal. AAMT is NOT for the American MT.
o
no offense, but that really doesn't make any sense
6/cpl is 6/cpl and that's 3 cents less per line than 9/cpl.
Wanna a little advice? I've been at this for 10+ years and no offense, but I think you outta get an
I may be way off base here, but you've posted like 6 posts. One says your bored, one says you'd get more done if you'd stop watching TV and surfing the net, and one says you can't get motivated to work in the early morning hours.
And since you say you are a "new to work at home MT", I think maybe you lack the organization skills, motivation, and dedication it takes to be a successful work-at-home MT.
This is just some friendly advice. I am one of those people and after working at home for about 5 years and barely making ends meet, I recognized my weaknesses and took at job back in the office.
Guess what? I am posting this from my work. I am halfway through my shift, I have met my quota and earned incentive, and still have time to post this. Plus, I can still earn a little more incentive before the night is through.
Just a suggestion...
Who's laughing? I'm just shocked that you take offense to the person who is correcting
YOUR mistakes, rather than the morons who are making these ridiculous errors, making the MT profession look silly. These mistakes should not have been made. I'm embarrassed for you my dear, not laughing at you.
i do my job. i send very few reports to QA. Yet I take offense at the attitudes of editors.
Quit beitching. You don't like the whole package of MT editing, get out. And I rarely hear from editors, do not have low QA (been with the company for 7 years) so I have no reason to "hate" an editor. I just hate the attitude here. And now you are hearing from someone who does their job.
No offense, but your attending the meeting in Boston won't make
heads so far up overseas companies butts, there is no way they are going to change. AAMT might as well go the way of the Do-Do where the US is concerned. I heard that they were changing their name anyway. Why should any US MTs give a rats butt what AAMT thinks or does. The only membership they will have in the future will be offshore. I think it's high time for a new organization, one that doesn't suck up to offshore companies the way AAMT and MTIA does. Of course, my view will be taken as protectionism, which is absurd when my whole view is that jobs are being taken away from American workers and American's privacy is in jeapordy when dictated files get funneled overseas.
Uh yeah, in a debate there's usually defense and an offense. Hence someone is always "on the
defensive." I simply posted my opinion about non-compete clauses and my experience with an untrustworthy service and how I handled it and then I'm called unethical and unprofessional. That kind of puts me on the defensive, dontcha think? Kind of begs me to defend my actions... 
No offense, but you were unaware of the history of AAMT/AHDI
I would suggest that you learn more about the history and realities of these subjects before calling for a big strike or walkout. Credibility is an issue here.
I took offense at that too, but I chose to ignore it in favor of the issue of the post.
I figured if we made a big deal of that one word the focus would be taken off the real issue.
No offense, but your post didn't make any sense whatsoever.
Maybe you didn't explain it right, but I read and re-read and don't understand a thing you just said.
No offense, but I hardly doubt kids 6, 8, and 9 in a real emergency would be savvy enough to handle
their cell phones properly while some creep is carrying them away. And they're away from you with cell phones at that young age?? Oh my! Please reconsider. Perhaps you're feeling false security from a cell phone.
Well, it is called the World Wide Web! Sorry, your post made me laugh! No offense... but duh! nm
Exactly! Mail fraud is a HUGE offense, and it gets worse dependent on how many state lines the
envelope with the $$ crosses! (Long time E-Bayer who knows the ropes on getting scammed - only happened to me once, but I pursued the guy from coast to coast!)
Sorry it happened to you, Laura. Weird thing - I have a C-phone sitting here unused for years and years, and you could have had it. Now out of nowhere, I need to use it. But let me know if you ever need one again - I may run across another one lurking in my attic! You could have it for nothing, girl!! And with power cord, headphones, and foot pedal!
Couldn't you just ask if this is appropriate?

I just had one who couldn't
pronounce the simplest word, like catheter. He does cardiac caths all day every day, and can't even pronounce the simplest terms for his specialty! They shouldn't be able to graduate like that.
Saw my name and couldn't help myself here...
I'm among the 200-odd people who visit every day but don't wanna post because, well, it just doesn't seem right. But, seeing as I saw my name in black and white up on the screen, I just couldn't stop my fingers from typing.
I wicked miss all the jibber jabber, work related and nonwork related. I miss the usual faces, the usual arguments, the good times, the bad times, the times when I swore some people were on the rag...
I too got privately disciplined by the former MTStars staff for my potty mouth, got mean e-mails from people who called me a hick, and got awesome e-mails from some great people out there...and I miss it! All of it! The good, the bad, and the ugly.
We had our little domain name "stolen" a few years ago when we didn't renew it in a timely manner, so I kinda know what it's like. Except ours wasn't a business, just a place where friends and family that we left behind could see what we were up to. The web host kept all our hard work and wouldn't relinquish it because they claimed it was technically theirs...I'm not 100% sure, as I'm not the technical person of the household, but I know that basically we had to start from scratch. You kinda feel violated in a weird way.
I'll keep checking for the "other" MTStars to see if it's back up and running, but for now I'll just hang out here and wait. My personal stuff is all over cyberspace, so I'm not concerned about identity theft or anything like that. Who in Sam Hain would want my life anyway?!
you couldn't pay me enough.
I was offered a job managing an office that sent all the work to the Philippines. I couldn't bring myself to do it. The manager job from the other board (if that's the one you're referring to)sends their work to India. As tough as times are now, I could not bring myself to take jobs away from American MTs even if it meant a decent paying job for me. Still hoping Obama will tax the heck out of these companies that offshore, but not holding my breath.
I couldn't have written it better myself...
Those are exactly my thoughts. Didn't work for Spheris or Medquist, but did work for Heartland before MDI. I am so happy I came to MDI. I am sure they are not perfect, but I think they are better than a lot out there.
I couldn't get it friday either.

Couldn't agree with you more.
Yeah, I complain, too, but basically this is the best job I have ever had and I can't think of too many jobs where I would the freedom that I do now. I am most thankful for this job (even with all the junk that goes with it). Hope everybody has a good day!
You couldn't be more wrong!
Only one poster here, DP, and that's all!!!
I'm not harassing anyone. I'm responding to the posts I'm sick of seeing. They have a right to complain...and so do I. Their complaints are about MQ; mine are about the whiners complaining about MQ. My right as well.
Good for you, if you're happy and a good producer!
I'm not pathetic. I'm tired of hearing it.
What's funny is that you think you know something about ME! You couldn't be more wrong!!!
How funny is that?!! Ask Admin to verify if my IP address is different from "No Whining"!!! ASK!! They'll verify that! I'm NOT the same person at all.
So, in answer to your question, I'll still be DP tomorrow too!! I'll make just as much money, as well.
:) Enjoy yourself!
Couldn't agree with you more!
I agree with you 100% - Well put!
I couldn't stand it with a
I had a good deal too, free rent, worked at home, vacations to where ever and whenever I wanted, limos and NYC every weekend, could pack up and go back to work at my mom's for 1 or 2 months at a time for my "family" fix. I just couldn't keep doing it. I packed up, came home and last week my GD turned as she walked from my front door to look at me and say, "Bye, Nammy! I Love You!" I got a better deal after all 
Oh, I believe you. I just couldn't find it. sm
And I didn't want to believe it. Thank you.
I couldn't agree with you more!!! (sm)
We better bust our butts while we can to prove ourselves against the looming competition, if you know what I mean.
It is, but it couldn't happen to a better guy
I also think there are disgruntled MTs who couldn't cut it,
or didn't live up to their end of the bargain. It goes both ways.
Well said! I couldn't agree more! (nm)

Couldn't Agree More
I couldn't agree with you more. I posted above stating my views.
I couldn't imagine.....
...holding the baby while typing. I have 15-month-old twins and THANKFULLY neither gave me that problem. I think if they had I probably would have tried every different toy bar for the bouncy seat or swing until something worked. Something comfy for her to lay against maybe. If nothing works and you can't manage typing and holding her then adjusting your schedule for when your husband is there would be my only thought. Good luck. Mine are giving me CLIMBING issues at the moment, oh brother!!!!!
yeah, you GOT it - I couldn't believe she was..
in all caps.....
Doxielady, you need to get a life! Docs don't think they are kings - that would be GWB and GHB....*lol*
I couldn't agree with you more.
