keep enough money to pay people. That's the bottom line. It is no one else's fault.
I don't contract with a hospital. I contract with an MTSO.

Lies
Oh, I know what lies are, I hear them every day from the Shrub Chimp boy in the White House..Im like a human lie detector..I can detect lies from Bush, Cheney, Rummy, ugly..so ugly Rice, et. al. Oh, please, Rice, change your hairstyle..it makes you look sooooooooooooo ugly..
lies
I have come across this on my own records as well. Saying things that they didn't even ask or telling you opposite stuff. I was wondering the same thing. I believe it comes down to they are overworked (sometimes) and not really paying attention to the patient's needs and exactly what they are saying. Sometimes I really wonder if these docs actually treat us the correct way, isn't that scary?
How can you believe any of her lies...
site was hijacked...oops maybe not....totally against offshoring (except for the offshoring that she contracts) yeah, whatever, check the yahoo log, same person sending MTStars newsletters since 2001. SHE IS IS A LIAR.
Everything spewed from her mouth is a lie, this is no different.
lies?
It seems that the whole premise of the American system and way of life is based on lies these days. What happens at the top,(US Government) trickles down to the bottom.
Transcription schools have a lot to lose if they tell their students that outsourcing is a thing of the past. Who would go for an education as an MT if they (prospective students) thought that they were going to compete with cheap labor in India? This would level the playing field.
I also think the problem lies with all
the advertising/seminars that tell these people that they can make $50k a year and stay at home with their children! I have worked at home for the last 12 years and my children DO NOT stay home with me unless they are sick. I am not home to "babysit" my children, I'm working.
It just amazes me.
Of course the lies start now...
In fact it's sad to see how easy it is to DUPE Americans.
Not only are the elections a total joke, but whoever gets "chosen" by the true powers will be automatically LEGITIMIZED by the other party and the media - just like GEORGE W. FRAUD was. That SHOULD scare the bejesus out of people but instead they STIL increduously continue to believe in this "system" of government... instead of revolting like they should.
The election coming up is as fixed as any other ones: THE true POWERS THAT BE and THE MEDIA HAVE CHOSEN FOR all of us - THREE PEOPLE - one of whom will be president. The better candidates don't have a prayer in the corrupt US. because the PEOPLE will not stand up to the corruption.
Anyone who still believes we live in a democracy (or even a representative democracy) probably also believes in the Easter Bunny.
More industry lies...
1200 lines per day at 8 cpl is only $96.00 per day. At that rate, if you worked eight hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, you would earn just over $35K. Who does that? Anyone working full-time for an MTSO can expect to earn less than $25K and you will rarely, if ever, see a raise. This survey is, as they say, in no way scientific. It is all designed to make people think it pays to be certified, which it does not.
The problem lies with the MTSO
Any quality MTSO will have funds available at all times to pay their workers in a timely fashion whether they have received payment from their client or not.
Please keep in mind that MTSOs are paid a whole lot more money than they are paying out. They should be more responsible with managing their businesses. Don't you think for a minute that the owners are going without pay.
I think it is so pathetic that MTSOs who do not pay timely take MTs for granted the way they do. If the company I work for ever sends me a check that bounces, I will be on another company's site submitting a resume and testing that same day.
The company I work for does not offer direct deposit. Even though my check is always mailed on the proper date...it's still difficult for me because I have to wait on a check. If they don't offer direct deposit soon, I will be looking for another employer that does.
what a crock, using lies on your kids like that
you are an unscrupulous mt/mtso
Don't care to hear the lies or is it don't
care to pay what you owe? It is easy to manipulate the minds of the forum readers. If you think some people even from the offshore are incompetent why did you continuously utilize the services of these people. Did you not get paid for the jobs done by these people?
therein lies the problem my dear sm
Its not about you! Its about what has to be done. Like I have told people I have trained for years, learn everything you can the BEST you can and be able and WILLING to do all work types and the possibilities are better. This is not about us, this is about the patient's behind the charts! I am sorry OPs bore you but they need to be done. I hope the next time you have surgery the MT is not too bored to transcribe your record CORRECTLY or it probably will be one being done over in India with horrible mistakes.
Somewhere over the years I see MTs who think this profession is about lines and cpl and have forgotten its about transcribing a legal medical document that can be legitimate in a court room setting if needed. Some of the stuff I see coming from supposed experienced MTs is an absolute embarrassment! I have often wondered when these medical records do have to be brought into a court room setting what other people think about the people who transcribe this stuff.
On the subject of boredom, I absolutely despise and I mean DESPISE opthalmology but I do it and can do it as well as the other. It has to be done!
My huge 19-pound cat lies on my footpedal
and I constantly have to chase him off of it. :)
Then USA Today spread lies and you know the truth.

The lies from physician put on my medical records
I posted on this before- had plastic surgery done, 2-3 things done at 1 time including tummy tuck, face and ? forgot but anyway, the face not done. Went home, no bruising, no swelling, went and looked at my records, not done, went to the office and told the physician he had not done, he forgot, gave me an IOU on his letter head. Bottom line, I asked for the return of the amount of the facelift only, he refused, was hostile, he was personally calling my house, threatening like, I had to have my job (at same hospital where he practiced)-I just said Karma will take care. Long story short, he did not dictate my operative report until EIGHT (8) months later, then falsified, and put the biggest facelift report in there you could image. My name is French sounding, unusual, and I know that was done intentionally. Big, big lies. I told lady over medical records falsified, she said I could just put an addendum in the chart.
I thought traditionally lies were to start AFTER....sm
being elected, but apparently it's okay these days to start the lies before even getting elected. What a bleak, dismal future this country has. I sure don't see any one of them that is worth the salt it takes to fill a shaker!
okay neatly correlated lies. and the trailer parks are really neat little hideaways the statistics
no excuse for not researching with google or even yahoo. my neighborhood is zoned to not allow trailer parks (ever wonder why???) thus my property if more valuable than another community that is not zoned against trailer parks. Now did you ever consider why communities would even think of having a zoning commission that would ban trailer parks. Community standards might come in to play and they don't want property values diminished. GOOGLE friend. The truth will set you free.
Such lies. Just yesterday I had a payroll problem. 1 phone call, person answered, and IMMEDIATELY
remedied the situation. There are always people there to help us. Wendy is just lying, and like I'll bet she's lying about her name! Its sooooooooo stupid to do this stuff when you're a disgruntled ex.
Do you have an I-party near you? OR....SM
try the web for homemade costume ideas. A cute one I've always wanted to do was to hang cereal boxes all over the body with fake rubber knives sticking out of each onewith fake blood and go as a CEREAL KILLER.
new yrs eve party
we met at 2000 new yrs eve party. i went out with my brother & his friends that night b/c my friend blew me off and it was there that i met my husband. :-)
Also, who knows what the other party
in their recorded statement. I used to transcribe these things too and the one thing I noticed is that out of one accident, each party always blames the other guy and sometimes the statements vary wildly as to what happened. You might want to get your version on the record. Just be sure to speak clearly and don't talk over each other.
Yes were going to a party party
wait, I think that's backwards, LOL
Spa party help, please
I'm hosting a spa party at my house on Friday at 6:30 p.m. I'm going to serve:
Vegetable pizza
Chips/Mexican dip (cheese, cooked ground beef, salsa in the crock pot)
Fresh fruit (strawberries, grapes, blueberries)
Lemon squares
Tea/soda/coffee
Would it be okay to use pale yellow paper plates, napkins, utensils, hot/cold cups with a white tablecloth and a vase of fresh flowers? Can I move the chairs away from the kitchen table and serve the food there or should I put it on a table in the den where we'll be having the party? Should I offer drinks as people arrive and wait until everyone is there before we eat or should everyone just get their food/drink as they arrive?
I've never had or been to this type of party, so I'm really nervous. Does my menu sound like enough, too much, yucky choices??? I thought it would be fun having a spa party, but it's made me a first-class nervous wreck planning it!
I'm open to all ideas and recommendations. Thanks.
Party...party...party......
Party...party...party....
Or have a party going on right behind them
Many of the ESL's I get must either choose dictation stations right next to congested areas or don't have a clue how their dictation sounds because they never play it back. It's hard enough to understand them without loud personal conversations and bursts of laughter right near by, or the somebody loudly paging someone right through their dictation, or sitting right next to a phone that rings and rings. This is the norm on most of the dictations I've been getting, and I'm really tired of it! When I worked in-house people KNEW to be quiet when someone was dictating, and the doctors edited their dictations enough to hear what was going on the background. This is one of the down sides of working off site - you can't grab anybody and say - "come listen to this, and then don't blame me if its full of blanks"!
We are not an outside party
We are directly under the physician. We are not BCBS or the government.
Why are YOU attacking HER? Just because she doesn't want kids, doesn't mean she needs a psychi

Having an engagement party for our son and his g/f!
YAY!
Wow, a party on a Monday? Can I come?? (sm)
I'll bring food too; I'm a good coo, I swear I am!.
I made this for a party once..sm
You may have already seen these, if not they are rather cute.
Purchase some plastic (deli type) disposable gloves. These are made to touch food, etc. Put a candy corn in fingertips (for fingernails) stuff rest with popcorn. Tie top with colored black/orange ribbon, and put plastic spider rings (found everywhere at halloween) on top of glove after they are stuffed. These are really kinda cute.
A party for our patients...
Every year, the staff in our clinic takes it on ourselves to throw a party for our patients. We all cook finger food, make snack trays, cookies, baked good, cheezes, bread, meat trays, the works. We have breakfast foods and lunch foods. We decorate tables in our lobby to spread this out on. We usually do this one day a week for the four weeks before Christmas so many patients will get to enjoy it. We have coffee, hot chocolate, orange juice, cokes and punch. We have fruits and dips....something for everyone, even diabetics. The patients are touched that we go to the trouble and we are touched by how much they love it! These patients have gone through enough suffering with their diseases and some are elderly and don't have family members. Some tell us this is their only Christmas! We have been doing this several years now and the patients are beginning to tell us to be sure we appoint them to return on the days we are having our "Christmas spread." I just thought I'd share the Christmas party that means the most to me... and this is definitely it! Just the look on their faces as they are enjoying it is Christmas to me.
Party dilema...
Okay, 5 years ago, our family threw a huge party - a pig roast actually - with over 100 people during the course of the night. My father-in-law said he wanted to do it again this year, but has since backed out because of his health not being the best and my husband has no interest in planning. I would love to charge in and do it myself except for one thing - I have no idea how to roast a pig. I was thinking of just having burgers and dogs as well as whatever sides people want to bring, soda, beer, etc and just turn up the music and have a blast. My husband says you can't have a pig roast one year and turn around and just have hamburgers another time. I think he's full of it! Any opinions? And be kind...he IS a great guy. Just a party p**per when it comes to this.
Happy 4th!
Just was at a grad party and met one of my former MDs

Do a kabob party!!! (sm)
We did a kabob party once. We supplied big bowls of all the things you would put on them including meat (chicken, steak, and pork) and then bowls of other stuff like cherry tomatoes, pieces of pineapple, mushrooms, green pepper chunks, onion chunks, etc. We marinated the meat and had it laying in the bowls already marinated. Everbody got their own kabob skewer and built their own and then carried it out to the grill where my husband grilled it for them. You could put on it whatever you liked. When we were done, we roased marshmallows too! That was the most successful party we ever did. We had everyone else bring a dish to go along with the kabobs and we supplied the kabobs. Hope that helps!
Late to the party, but B is right.
I have Office 2003, Teachers & Students Edition, and it does indeed allow installation on 3 computers in a household.
When you activate trial versions, you have no backup in case of computer/hard drive failure.
Also, you MAY be able to get physical media for pre-installed computer software from the manufacturer, but at the very least you'll pay shipping and handling, and probably a nominal fee for the CDs. Most now place the restore software on the computer's hard drive. It's up to the owner to back that up in case of emergency.
Homemade Chex party mix!
Made with real butter, lots of peanuts, Cheese-its or Goldfish. Rice and/or corn chex or Crispix; none of those nasty wheat chex. Used to mix up a batch and sit and type and and eat and then graze on it throughout the day
Autotext vs. third-party software
I have tested InstantText, SmartType and several other abbreviation Expanders out there. InstantText and SmartType are more expensive and I found I can have the added features they provide with PCShorthand which is about $100. The added benefits include things like adding other functions such as backspace to your abbreviations so the abbrevation "yo" will do backspace hyphen and then type "year-old" things like that. Also with PC shorthand you can have a suggestion window displayed and resize and position that anywhere on your screen so you have a suggestion window like InstantText and SmartType. Then if you build your list properly, you can quickly see which abbreviation to use if you need to and you don't have to remember exactly what abbreviation you used, which are the primary selling points of InstantText and SmartType, both of which are great programs. You can also transfer your autotext entries to any of the third-party programs. They do have a 30-day free trial demo (www.pcshorthand.com) and no, I do not work for OfficeSoft, just like their software and think it is reasonably priced.
Party Ideas for Preteens
Hi! my daughter is turning 10 next month. She wants to have an "all girls party" : ) and wants to have some games. I just don't know what games are still suitable for their age. Any ideas? Thanks.
How about a "Bah, Humbug" party? (s/m)
That was one of the best things I ever attended, one Christmas Eve when I was having a totally crummy X-mas season. A bunch of other gals I knew who were single (some by choice, some by circumstance, some long-term, some recently), but all of whom were stressed-out and bummed about the holidays, all got together and had what is still the best party I ever attended. Lasted well into the wee hours of Christmas morning, and then we all realized how lucky we were that we could come crawling home in rather intoxicated condition at 4:00 AM and not have someone (Husband, BF, significant other, father, etc.) getting on our case about it. Once the hangover was gone, I think we all appreciated our own situations and no longer felt depressed.
What does third party transcription provider mean?
Could be farwell party on Friday. If not, I would think
After 20 years, a big party should be in the plans. If not, they are lacking in manners and it is time for you to go to a new place in your life.
2nd birthday party for the dynamic duo!
Just way too much fun! Especially when they both pushed their little cakes away and said PICKLES!
Next year they're getting birthday pickles. 
Shower for first...diaper party for second.
It was lots of fun and I received so many diapers and wipes, which I was so thankful for. It was much smaller and more personal. Not to mention, it was nice to have a party, even small, to welcome the second baby.
A party is about getting together, not what food is served! :-)
I say to make whatever food you feel comfortable with and encourage others to bring covered dishes to add variety. I have found those types of get togethers the most fun. Easy food, music, pool, games for the kids, whatever. Good luck! :-)
If it were my kid, I'd be very tempted to call off the party....
But I hope you figured something out. Let us know how you made out.
Pampered Chef--went to a party over the-sm
weekend. She made a broccli and chicken braid. Does anyone have that recipe? Really good.
I just had a Pampered Chef party.
My Pampered Chef lady probably has it. E-mail me if you really want it and I'll try and get it for you.
We just got done having our Super Bowl Party
My friend and I usually don't watch, I don't like football, but we always have a fun party. This game was actually exciting. And me being from NY, I was glad the Giants won.

Halloween party for 6 year olds
Any ideas for a Halloween party/slightly haunted house. Food, games, spooky decorations? Thanks in advance.
Favorite company Christmas party..
Do you have a favorite you went to? I'd like this to be a positive thread, fond memories, that sort of thing.
I worked for a very large hospital for about 4 years. Every year at Christmas, the company party was in the cafeteria (a huge, monstrous cafeteria and half of it was curtained/walled off for our party). The party was during an entire 24-hour period on 2 different days. We could sign up for 4 hours time (paid) to go in groups to the party during our shifts. When we got down there, after showing our badge, the CEO would hand us a crisp new 100-dollar bill. They would have tables and tables of all kinds of fantastic snack/finger foods and desserts. The TVs were showing videos that were scanning the crowd the whole time. There was a band that played some and upper management would put on silly plays, sometimes children's groups would come sing. We really had a good time. Everyone got to enjoy the party. We went home with an extra $100 in our pockets. Enjoyed good food and entertainment and got paid for it! Then we were worthless the rest of the day in the office, hahaha, while we continued to snack on all the dozens of goodies that clinics and offices had sent to the us, the transcription department. :)
Now, we don't get THAT working from home, huh?! Hahahaa
