No worries, it's all for the best
Georgie's mom....apparently compassionate conservatism is genetic.

"What I'm hearing,which is sort of scary,is that they all want to stay in Texas. Everybody is so overhwlemed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway so this (chuckle)--this is working very well for them." Barbara Bush at the Houston Astrodome
Hey, no worries - it happens. SM
I happen to have the Stedman's, so that's what I use, but as far as I know it's not better than Dorland's - both about the same.
Worries me....
everytime I hear about it because my aunt died of it and two of my other aunts had it. My sister just found a lump about a month ago, but luckily not cancer... We definately need to keep up on our exams...
No worries
Several years ago, when I worked for a hospital, they were threatening VR daily (I think to make us scared so they could cut our production pay which they did). Then, they outsourced. Guess what? Back to hiring inhouse, and they can't even find day shift transcriptionists because there are too many jobs now they are bringing transcription back inhouse and getting rid of VR, using it sporadically. I spoke to at least 2 doctors in the last month who told me they would and could never do without their medical transcriptionist. Although they claim they speak clearly they realize a computer and an Editor may not be enough for them. As a matter of fact, I was afraid like you are. But I am not afraid now. Another doc said to me just the other day when I went for my physical for a hospital job (finally a job for a hospital again) that I am lucky to be an MT, there will always be work for me. What I am afraid of however are companies which hide the way they count lines, or when I live up to my incentive pay and cannot afford it if my incentive gets cut like the hospital did years ago. I try to always have my bills under my incentive instead of 100%, in case of something bad happening again. You are not crazy, we have been going through this for years, and finally, I believe when you hear that from a job or a rumor, it is a control tactic to try to get you to work cheaper or harder than you already are which is probably hard enough! Good luck. And please try not to worry. Your skills are very valuable.
No worries
I normally type 200 digital minutes per day so I was trying to equate that to lines.  I was told that a good MT with many shortcuts could do 3000 lines in an 8-hour shift.  But, they pay is only 8 1/2 cents for radiology which is not that good (I don't think).  I was hoping someone could help and you did, thank you :)
Just imagine-- no worries
I would love to wake up every morning and have no worries about gas prices going up even higher, whether or not I can afford my utility bill, whether or not I as a single woman will be able to find someone to help me with heavy work and things I can't do by myself, etc.  No matter what state of chaos the world is in, they just go on about their daily routine, just like they always have.  They also help each other-- what a novel idea.  Their lifestyle is sounding better all the time-- a big plus for me is that I already have a horse.
You will have bigger worries than us sitting in

Things will go quicker, smoother and with less worries,,,,,,
:p
Taking time off without the worries is great

I think too many times IC's are treated like employees.  The OP is an IC and has a set schedule?   If you have a set schedule (no freedom), you should be deemed an employee and given PTO days, etc.  IC's should not be made to let anyone know anything.    Two weeks is an extended amount of time and out of courtesy she should let her "client" even if that is an MTSO know in advance that she will not be available to work those two weeks.  As for toting a laptop on vacation, not me!  The whole idea of a vacation is to relax and not have to worry about typing.  Most physicians do understand that you need a vacation.  They will cut you some slack.  Not sure about a two week period though.  Someone with their own accounts that wants to take off extended periods of time (more than one week) should probably find someone to "cover".    I have also found in this profession that transcriptionists do not trust others as they could try to steal their accounts if they were to take time off leaving the account in someone else's hands literally.  All the more reason to network and find someone trustworthy who will scratch your back and you in turn scratch their back when needed.  Tit for TAT so to speak but at a fair price.


No worries.. thats the one who keeps telling us to clean our trailers and get an education.


I agree. The silly phone calls just make the worries worse, if

We live in the country in the south - been using it for years with kids and pets - no worries or pro

Regarding Taylor... Is it just me or....

has he gone from a rather sloppy looking spazz to looking pretty sexy?  Okay, maybe it's because he seems a little older than the rest because of the gray hair (he's 16 years my junion), but he's kinda HOT these days!  Last night when he was danced I was thinking........ Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm  


Can't wait to see him do Elvis next week. 


Go Taylor! nm
nm
Taylor-Taylor-Taylor

I hope it's Taylor...I'm anxious to see if anything goes on tonight about last week's shocker when Chris got kicked off...lots of stuff on the 'Net about voting being wrong, etc...have to wait and see.


 GO TAYLOR!!!


 


NO, YA NUT - Taylor isn't on anything....nm

Taylor will win. sm
Last week, all of Birmingham greated Taylor back home, and Kat only filled half a gym.  Taylor has never been in the bottom 3 and Kat has.  They are both going to be very rich, but Taylor will win.
Taylor
I loved Taylor tonight. I really liked the last song he sang. I just got done having an argument with my husband who thinks that Katharine will win and should win and that if Taylor wins he won't sell any records. He just doesn't get it. My daughter and I have been trying to vote for Taylor since the show ended, but can't get through.
taylor fan
Yes, Taylor, you make me PROUD!  He was so cute tonight!
I hope it's not Taylor!
He just had a bad week. Please spare Taylor :) My prediction is that it's Ace.
You are right--TAYLOR is HOTTTTT!
He gets hotter by the week! Yowza!!!! I know he's not married and haven't heard anything about a GF. Somebody better snatch him up, and quick! He's about 6 years younger than me--I can live with that!
Go TAYLOR!!!!!.....AI wants a male to win!! n/m

Taylor or Elliott
I'm rooting for Taylor or Elliott now that Chris is gone. I really don't want Katherine to win, but I have the feeling she will. Supposedly people are saying she's more "marketable"
My vote goes for Taylor
I must admit the first few weeks watching him was soooo annoying, but he has grown on me and I actually enjoy watching and listening to him sing and perform. He's good and I think he deserves to win! However, I must say I was confident that Chris would win, but unfortunately not. Therefore, my vote is for Taylor!!!!

GO TAYLOR, GO!
Agree Taylor!
I think Taylor will win it all. And I agree with what the poster said about Katharine. There is just something about her. When the judges say something bad she always has this look like, well that's what you think, but you're crazy.
According to Diaidol.com, Elliott is at the bottom, but it's very close. They're been right three weeks in a row.
I really like Elliott the best but I think Taylor
will win. I just think it's a shame if Kat is in the final two. I think Elliott completely deserves to be at LEAST 2nd. I think he will do well regardless and hope he gets a record deal out of this at least. He's different, Taylor is different, but nothing about Kat is anything but ordinary. Of course Chris was different too. I thought it would be cool to be down to the three guys. I think they're all unique, they all have completely different styles, and that's great. I think they ARE American Idols. They each highlight a different kind of music that Americans love. I really hope that Elliott stays tonight!
Taylor's family
Someone told me the woman with Taylor's dad is his stepmom.  Has his mom ever been on the show?
Taylor's LAST song did it for me!!!...sm

TAYLOR HICKS IS GOING TO BE THE AMERICAN IDOL......he's just more genuine!!!  Kat is good but whoever posted about Tori Spelling......I don't think Tori is THAT well liked......by the general public...so I don't know how that other poster thinks Tori can pull strings for Kat....


taylor hicks
It seemed strange not to be able to watch AI this week.  Just saw Taylor on the Today show-I love him!!!!  By the way, does anyone know about the black bracelet that he wears on his left wrist?  I noticed it when he was on AI and he still had it on today.  
As Paula would say, Taylor is infectious!!
nm
Elliot and Taylor, oh and what about Chris?
They are all great! It is for sure a man this year!
They do need to learn some dance moves though!
lol
I predict that Taylor and Mandisa ....sm
will be the 2 finalists in the end. I can't stand Kelly - she's too flirty and gets on my nerves. I did laugh at Simon's comments about Bucky having the Jessica Simpson hairstyle!
Nawwww, Taylor reminds some of us

I do like Elliot...but I Love Taylor..
nm
Taylor looks constipated when he stands still
..
Hope to see Taylor go. Can't stand him.

DialIdol says Taylor got more votes than anyone. (nt)

I think that only he and Taylor will sell their records....sm
I can't envision ever buying anything that Katherine or Elliott recorded.

Katherine should have gone home last night.
TAYLOR all the way now for the WIN. He's the TOTAL package.
Spunk, energy, personality, showmanship, and voice. He's got it all going for him.

Kat should never have gotten this far. She's not singing well and had a bad week. There are songs that she can sing, she's just not well-rounded to do any kind of music.

Lots of people will buy Elliott's CD. He's got a great voice.

I wish they'd publish the vote counts. I can't believe that Chris got the boot! Just shows you how sick this can all get. We'll all be angry if Kat goes on to win. Probably more of the sick "vote for the worst" revenge.
Taylor - Dancing in the Dark
first Springsteen song ever done on AI...first time approval has been given
I agree, my vote is definitely for TAYLOR!
/
I think Taylor will sell records
I have his second indie CD and it's fabulous. All original songs, written by him, and it's great. Grab it if you can. I really don't think Kat will do all that much after this, really. I don't think she has the draw to bring people out to a concert. Obviously, Taylor does. I think Kelly Clarkson could have taken that song that Kat butchered and at least tried to do something with it...made it something worth listening to. Kat really, really messed that one up.
just gotta love taylor!
I will watch this over and over--putting it on my favorites!
PRD+ Taylor Medical Word List
I am looking for the rules from the original PRD+ Taylor Medical Word list.  If anyone has it, please let me know, I would like a copy.  I really need the original document if someone has it.  Thank you so much!
Mine is definitely Taylor. He does his own thing and if he doesn't win

he'll be regularly employed that's for sure. 


Taylor, Chris, or Mandisa..can't decide.

Taylor/Elliott finale would be my dream
Then, I wouldn't be disappointed no matter who won and who came in second.  I thought Chris was great in the beginning, too.  Now, he just does nothing for me. I thought he was really contrived last night.  Katherine did really awful on that second song, and she has never shown that spark, either, at least to me.  Taylor I've loved from the beginning, and Elliott has grown on me a lot.  I think he's the contestant who has grown the most in the competition, sort of like Clay.  I'm waiting to see what Zaba Search says in about an hour, but they had him in last place last night.  I hope Dial Idol is correct this time, but I just don't know. I will be very disappointed if Elliott goes home tonight instead of Katherine. It could be a big shocker like the first year and maybe Chris will go home? Doubtful.
I agree Taylor/Elliot. I think I would get bored with sm
Chris and Katharine's music. Though they are all in good positions to be picked up by a record producer. Look at Josh Gracin. He was 4th.
Goodbye Katherine. I am rooting for Taylor..sm
He is the only one with a personality.  I love Chris' voice but he is soooo boring!  And Eliott is just alright for me.
l love Taylor, I think he's a sweetie and seems genuine.
