And the baloney about 100,000 (whatever) sm
new jobs created are probably those that are offshored. More misleading spin to lull us into thinking our economy is doing great.
A big fat baloney!
I have heard confidentiality even before the HIPPA and??? We used to have to sign forms saying would not give out information about a patient longgggggggggg before ever heard of a HIPPA and the point being?? Totally ridiculous. There are loads of loud-mouths in the hospital who talk in the halls, on the elevators, on the floors who have 1:1 association with the patients. People now afraid of their own shadows.
BALONEY
I could write pages about them spotting mistakes, yeh, right. Just hearing that reminds me of a probably adoring elderly person putting them on that spot on the right hand side of the almighty. Just ticks me off to hear how they are spotting.
Baloney
What a stunningly ignorant statement! Since when did the definition of 'abuse' come with a prerequisite of being enjoyed by the abuser?
That's like saying an abused child with a broken arm is not abused unless the person who broke the arm is having fun...
And as to the comment "would you rather see it have it's voice box removed?" More ignorance!
As if there were only two choices! Shock collar or voice box removal.
HOW ABOUT YOU TAKE THE TIME TO TRAIN THE DOG not to bark? HOW ABOUT NONPAINFUL COLLARS LIKE CITRONELLA?
Baloney is right, you can work sm
for a large teaching hospital and make good money. You do have to make up your mind to do this and figure out your own way of doing things. I do the same thing and I work for a huge complex in Detroit, mostly ESL, mostly residents, PAs, NPs, etc and no normals. There are folks who can do it.
BALONEY: Not only do I agree with you 100%
You hit it right on the head. I am in this biz for over 27 years and you are so right. I believe that a lot of the problems in our industry are b/c people in early career or midcareer become prima donnas and want to be paid tons of money but not willing to think about patient care. It is when you lose your ego, and know it is about the patient that the money suddenly flows in. I think it is Karma at work. If it is about me, me, me, then me, me, me won't make any money. But when it becomes about serve, serve, serve, the money will be there, more than enough, and so will a long, happy career and MT able to have it all. Baloney, you are no Baloney, you are so correct!!
You do have only one crowd to please. The facility. All this other baloney is

BALONEY! If this person is typing sm
300 lph and 8 cpl, how is that not enough to live on? The only way it is not enough to live on is if you don't get enough work. What I am seeing is "newbies" wanting to make 12-15 cpl starting out and they can't produce much per hour. If you are not able to produce then you cannot make a living in this business unless you get hourly pay. That is the long and short of it. In order to be able to produce consistently you have got to have tons of experience which takes TONS of time and years and sweat to get. I am so tired of hearing about how we don't make enough money (and some don't make enough) but then finding out the person complaining has very little experience, cannot do certain work types, doesn't like ESLs, can't do ESLs, etc. etc but wants top pay. Its not going to happen. Unfortuantely, to make it in this business you start out working, keep working for years, get your experience, learn every type of work type there is, sweat and cry over the really bad dictators and learn to deal with it. If the work is there and you can do EVERYTHING and are WILLING TO LEARN EVERYTHING over a period of YEARS, you can make it in this business. But, its based on the work being here. The cpl is secondary

Not *discussing* your line rate is a bunch of baloney....encouraged by employers....
They don't want us all to know what each other makes so they can keep paying as low and unfairly as possible.
How is the WORLD can letting someone know your line rate hurt you or anyone? It doesn't--only benefits employers.

I don't think it can do that, it you are meaning
HE to He, etc.
I know the meaning is not
derogatory, any more than my grandmother was being derogatory when she said "colored people." Certainly, all the countries you mention (Middle East, etc) can be considered oriental, since the word just means of the east. ("We Three kings from Orient Are.") But I have never heard anyone use the term "Oriental" to describe someone from Turkey, or Saudi Arabia, or any Caucasian person in the eastern hemisphere; only to people from the Far East (many Americans tend to muddle people from these countries into a group because of their similar physical characteristics). At any rate, Asian is the favored term today. Oriental things (such as rugs) are a different story. My cousin (age 54) still uses the word "Oriental" for people from the Far East... she also gets Arabs and Indians mixed up. oriental/occidental
ps CTA meaning to cover their a**.

I said he is the same on the inside, meaning,
he still is the most tender-hearted man I have ever known in my life, the same as 28 years ago when I married him. He knows that I firmly believe that his drinking is wrong and that it is killing him (which I don't want to happen), but, leaving him is not something I want to do (been there, done that). I choose to stay. Not everybody's situation is the same and, Biblically, I have absolutely no reason to leave him nor do I want to leave. I hate to see him killing himself this way and that is something that I pray about daily. 
I was not meaning you directly at all
guess I was just trying to get across the point that in other parts of the states southerns are protrayed as such. I am white, my husband is black and my mixed daughter was an English major in college here in the south and an accountant now, She, along with me, shutter when we hear ebonics. Like where you live and where I live outsiders would probably not believe with all the diversity, huh?
IC status meaning
I worked 3 weeks for a company as IC status. They wanted a schedule so I did one and then the work was not coming through so the third week was told not to do schedule; it did not look like the MD I was going to have would get into a routine. I did the work at night or early morning. Was told I had to work my schedule even if I had no work I had to be there in case it came in. Does IC status not mean TAT and production but flexibility with schedule as long as you get the work done. Also it went from 60 minutes to 120 and then at the time I finished the 100 minutes 85 more came through and it was like she expected me to do it right then. I had 24 hours. Also was called as soon as it uploaded at 4p.m. one day and was asked "ARE YOU TYPING". It was not my scheduled time and it had only been uploaded about 30 minutes. What is your take on this. IC does not mean be harrassed if not an employee with benefits right. No work for 3 days and then hounded as soon as it came in. I am not there now because I voiced my opinion.
IC meaning independent contractor?
As far as I know...no...for independent contractor, they do not have to pay any benefits or even take out SS, so I would think it would be MORE not less for IC. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
I am not meaning to start a firestorm, but can anybody SM
explain this? I'm not trying to get banned, but every other site on the net survives just fine and there is no such restriction on them.
Maybe I'm dense, but I can't even make up a sensible reason for it.
Exactly what I was meaning in post below, but you say it so articulately. Thanks.

It sounds to me like this MTSO needs to look up the meaning of IC. sm
From your description, you have been more than understanding. We set our hours and we work them, but are not sitting here every time something is needed. I have worked 3 IC jobs (simultaneously) in the last 1-1/2 years, and can tell you there are wonderful companies out there that are very considerate. You don't need this one.
Are y'all meaning Sylcount?
If you need an Expander too, you can get Instant Text, which has counting, invoicing, and reporting built in. :-)
Again, you've missed the meaning.
The interpretation is this: Money will speak louder than just writing a letter. Speak financially. Get it now?
'Plenty' meaning - the 6 or 7 people who
New study on MS and
Vitamin D, you can Google it. Are you in the great lakes area? Very common in that area. I don't have it but many of my relatives do including my 20-year-old neice - she's doing very well with treatment. Good luck 
The sclerae (plural) are injected, meaning SM
Blood vessels are visible.

Lanier is proprietary meaning it will only work
with a Lanier system and you cannot use a C-Phone or DVI workstation to access a Lanier digital system. You won't be able to use it with a DVI system or Dictaphone. However, if memory serves, you should be able to use a Dictaphone C-phone or DVI workstation interchangeably with most other digital dictation systems and Dictaphone.
I'm glad you brought this up. I've been meaning to

Sleep Study
Get this: I had an appointment with the doctor this coming Wednesday to discuss a sleep study. Last Wednesday 2/1/06, his office calls me wanting to know if I was coming in because I was late for my appointment, and I reminded her that it was not that Wednesday but this coming Wednesday and she remembers and admits she got it wrong. This morning same girl calls to remind me of my Tuesday appointment!!!! Went through the same thing again and then she says, "Oh, yes. It is Wednesday. Can you come in Thursday? He's going to get called to the emergency department!!!" Uhhhhh did I miss something or is she clairvoyant on emergencies? This is why I do not go to the doctor unless it is absolutely necessary. I guess he has a golf game lined up.
That study used very old data.
EHR has come a long way since 2004.
CMT study workshops or
I am looking for some reputable websites for info regarding the CMT exam that also include study material. Any info would be greatly appreciated :)
Honestly, probably the best way to study for it
is to work, work, work.
Good luck!

Does anybody understand the meaning of EmErGeNcY room anymore?
I cannot understand why I type SO many ERs with trivial chief complaints such as:
sore throat - cough - pimple - splinter - blister - farted - (okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but COME ON people!)
The most recent ccx.....Can I take a laxative? Not constipated, just needs to know if she can take a laxative along with her hypertension med. Thought she better go to the ER to ask. 
Why are these people allowed to be such a waste of ER resources?
Just a pet peeve....wondering if anyone agrees with me.....perhaps someone else who has spent hours in an ER waiting room for something or other.
isn't off peak meaning night/weekend and therefore would not count toward the 450? nm

well time to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas...
and please dont get me wrong... i know these times are hard for everyone and i hope your work picks up or you find a job that helps... but regarding the holidays... so many of us (myself included) have made this a buy buy buy holiday. I'm been so upset this year because I have bought barely ANY gifts but I simply cannot afford them. So then I realized, it is time for family and togetherness, as generic as that sounds... life is short... it's not about "things" it's about people. And I'm not super religious, but this is a good video below.
good luck on work!

Might be meaning the 3 boxes left upper corner??
the 3 little square boxed in the right hand corner, see them. The middle one makes a bigger screen. Unclick it and it goes back to regular size. This this what you meant.
S/L Perfifth study per neurology?
I can't seem to find anything. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
vellum - in swallow study???
is this correct
Sorry, you guys need to study up. "Affect" would never, ever go here. SM
Just FYI, to say "affect" would mean that the bleeding would change the procedure -- which makes not a lick of sense.
"Effect" would be the right thing, meaning that if this woman were to continue bleeding, she'd have to have a hysterectomy.
I didn't really like the wording of it anyway, but I thought I'd throw my two cents in because there seem to be people here still confused on the issue.
Employment after home study
Does anyone know who will hire a Transcriptionist who has studied at home? Also, will they hire you if you have not been employed as a transcriptionist outside your home? (I have a little hospital experience but years ago).
Sleep study transcription...
I have been approached by a sleep study doc to do the transcription for them. I have not done these before and I'm not sure what to charge. Does anyone have any advice for what to charge them or any sample reports?
Thanks so much
