If you aren't interested, don't open this.
 I'm back to work. I have moved into an apartment - 2 bedrooms. He has moved down to be with his family permanently. The kids are doing okay. I'm kinda stressed out right now because he is really putting the pressure on me to move down there near him so he can see his children more frequently. I don't want to move down there, it's two hours from here, and I say if he doesn't want to put a little bit of effort in for his children, then forget it. There is no point in moving down there away from my church and family. That would be highly self destructive at this point. I'm just getting sick of him. He's trying to make me feel guilty about our small apartment which he calls the Projects. It is not the projects, but even if it were at least IT'S NOT WITH HIM. I'm trying to get work done, but the quarters are cramped. I typed when they took a nap yesterday and I will again today. I appreciate all of your prayers. The nastiness ran me off last time and I don't intend to check in here much, unless I have an MT question. Better to keep my personal life to myself I guess. Just wanted to give an update. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers that I stay strong and move forward for mine and my kids' sake. Thanks!  Jodi
The hosptial administrators aren't interested in safe patient care.
Do you guess? I hope you aren't serious.
You should never guess on a report just so you don't have to leave blanks and look better. Remember that these reports go into a real human being's medical chart. Would you like someone to be guessing on your own medical documents?
I understand the frustration with ESLs. However, if you are unable to handle ESL dictation, you should consider finding different accounts. Some people have the ear for ESLs and others do not. I truly do believe it is a talent, but it can be an acquired talent. You don't say how long you've been doing this ESLs reports, but if you've been transcribing for him for a good length of time and still cannot understand him, you may never. In my experience, doctors do not change their dictating habits very readily. Even if you request them to, they usually only change their habits for a week or two, lull you into a false sense of well-being and then they go right back to their old habits.
My advice is to start looking for something else if you are having that much trouble.
Perhaps you aren't in a state that has a vote today. There are many MAJOR issues
and candidates for people to vote on today across the US.
Nope, I guess I wasn't. Was I missing out on something good?

Well, I myself buy on Craigs and guess what, had free paint
that I did not want and advertised and gave it away so guess all is not a scam. Craigs List really in your bigger towns I guess but I do not have the time or patience to wait to see if I bid correctly. I just bought a persian rug for 95$ that had a 750$ tag sewn in in the back, good deal, huh?
"Live in a cave"???......sm
Your childish statements including the one about "editing my reports with your eyes closed" just prove my point. Secure, adult professionals do not require a daily affirmation to make us "feel better". I don't need a "job well done pat on the head". Obviously you do.

I think there are 3 or 4 out there (Florida, Texas, and a few others.) Then you really avoid the tax situation.

I have used this for years and have compared to Sylvan, Word, and MP Count, etc. When you have it set to count every character, bold, shift, tab, etc. It is great and always higher than the others. Now if you are wanting gross lines like in Word then no it won't be as high because Word counts blanks lines and Abacus counts a line only if there is a character on it. There is also two places to check for it to count the Headers/Footers. If you have the FREE version then it must be the trial or a very old version so you don't have all the features and functions.

Name a state and put every company in that state under suspicion.
Tell what the first letter of the company is and every company with that initial will be suspect. I would imagine that everyone who works for that company has received an inquiry from department of labor, so they would all be aware of it.
Why do we persist in setting up companies to be torn down when there is no reason for it. If a company is suspect, then give the name of the company, don't give big hints that cover at least 5 companies, 4 of which may be the best companies to work for, but fall into the category of an alphabetical letter, etc.
Contact your local BBB in your state and in their state if different from yours.

Not mandatory, as you state it depends on your state - sm
or county. Where I am I do not need it; though if I was cutting grass or landscaping I would where I live, makes no sense to me as I am providing a service, but very happy I don't have to have one. We pay personal property tax here and I would have to list all my business related equipment and pay taxes on it every year I was in business. So until I am told otherwise by my county, I will not be getting a business license.
yes it is free....mine was free....why the exclamation?

Some people just CHOOSE to live in DE NILE (DENIAL) and we all see you are ONE OF THOSE.
Some of us CHOOSE to go through life as a REALISTS!
 
Things are different from state to state, but I think
you probably could, if you are actually "laid off." You would have to get a letter from your surgeon regarding your temporary disability status and take to the unemployment office and to Medicaid....but you know how Medicaid works, 1.5 pennies over the income limit, you don't get it. But, as I stated, laws differ from state to state, so you would have to inquire or go on their websites and see what they will approve and what they will not.
If not in your state, try filing in THEIR state. Then they

I'm interested in a MT Course??? HELP!!!
Can anyone give me some advice on going thru a MT course? I would very much like to do an online training but not sure if they are legit or not. I have some information from Allied Health which is about 1500. Is that normal? Does anyone know of any better courses? Is it okay to take an online course? I have so many questions but don't know who to ask. Do you guys get paid decent money? HELP!!! HELP!!! All answers will be appreciated!!!
I was interested but...sm
I was interested in finding out answers, not listening to flaming. You were rude to the poster in your first post. How is that helping anyone? No one else had to have a rude comment. So, no I am not interested in your post if it is smart instead of productive.
B and E. Not interested! nm

Who is interested?
Insurance companies are interested. If you are running for political office, lots of folks would be interested.

I am not interested in your suggestions. I posted a message to the Administrator, not to you or anyone else. You don't tell people what to skip. Since we are making suggestions here...I SUGGEST that you not respond to my messages that are intended for the administrator.
I'm interested in this myself.
I would only need it to receive faxes, not send. It says that with the free account you get a non-local number versus a local number with a paid account. This wouldn't matter if the person I am getting the bulk of my faxes from is not local anyways, would it?
Also, I am referring to the efax software. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, there - I'm actually in the Midwest, but have the capability to handle uploaded dictation, and am definitely interested in taking on a new account. Do they require the MT to be located in their area?

I don't know if it was clear in my original post, but I am interested in more than QA, for instance supervisor, manager, coordinator, etc. QA would be last on my list.

I don't believe a word she says and am not interested in communicating with her!
Would be interested to know
what are some of the negatives, if you wouldn't mind sharing...I was actually thinking about applying at a state hospital, and there seems to be a lot of good reasons to take the job. So, I would appreciate your input on some of the things I might want to be aware of before making my decision.
Thanks!

I have just started hearing about the EMR system. I have heard this will do away with clinic reports, ER reports for medical transcriptionists, but it will not replace acute care.
You getting me interested!
Ok for my headings I have hpiub which will expand to "HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: " all in bold letters. Is this what you mean by a macro or do you mean to actually set up a macro in MS Word?
Thanks
If it's different for each report, my guess (only a guess)
would be no. I think the macro would work if it was the same each time, but not sure if it will if the documents are different each time.
I'd be interested to know if you have the facts on this
Not flaming at all, just would like to know what goes on, what they're not telling us. I've seen documentaries on how humanely they do it, by injection for cows and they give pain relievers to chickens. Am I being naive here?
Thanks, i'd be interested to learn more
Butting in here... I am very interested in sm
this. Is it hard to learn? I know I probably sound ridiculous but I take it we just have our headsets on and dictate what the doctor dictates, right? Can you edit as you go along, such as putting in addresses and such? This is intriguing to me. Does it end up saving you lots of time in the long run?
Thanks for any information you can provide. I would love to have one of these, I think.
To snowbunny and anyone else interested...
You asked what line rate I thought my experience and expertise was worth. Realistically I would think anywhere between 13 and 15 cpl. Of course, that would put me back to where I was nine years ago! Forget inflation, I would be happy to have my old radiology clinic back at that rate but, wait, they are now paying a large corporation 8 to 10 cpl. And, the corporation is paying someone in a third world nation a pittance of that. However, for the Transcriptionist in the third world nation the salary is great! Perhaps we should be happy that we are doing our best to bring these third world countries into the main stream. While that sounds sarcastic, it is not completely sarcastic. I do not begrudge the transcriptionist doing the work. I am just tired of Corporate America paying the executives exorbitant salaries with "golden parachutes" and leaving the worker hanging. Executives can ruin the business, trash the name of the company in the news and still be handed a bonus in the millions! Sure the upper management should be paid more for the responsibilities they bear, but 500%, 1000%, and more?! This is happening in every business - not just ours and I believe it is the main reason that we are losing business to other countries. American companies cannot pay American workers what they should be paid in order to live in our society as long as they pay huge salaries, bonuses, and buyouts to their failed executives. Perhaps executives should be paid only if they produce and the company is successful ... kind of like a ballplayer! Start losing money and you are out of work! But wait - that will only cause them to fire more American workers and piece meal out the work to people who can live on less. Where are we going wrong? Yes, we need corporations to make a profit, yes we need to pay upper management for their skill and expertise, but shouldn't we (the collective we) try to keep American workers working???
Im interested and whants to know more.
Well, im a Editor already for MQ and im not sure if i want to renew my contract with them. It actually interesting to teach kids english. Is there a online school or training program for this i so could learn while doing my current MT work?
Here is a question for anyone interested....
I was reading on another board... The problem with the larger companies was switching from account to account to account. However, learning the account specifics (or at least printing them so you can refer to them) should not be that hard. I want to know what is so hard about jumping around? I work 7 accounts as an Editor and never have been able to figure this particular "gripe" out. Docs are docs are docs. No matter what hospital they are at. Reports don't change that much. How hard is to jump from to another? I just don't see why this is such a problem. Your paycheck should not be an issue, because as an MT you should be able to transcribe any doc out there. If you really have an issue with this, you might want to rethink what you do for a living.
But in saying the above, just for a note, I don't understand these MTs that can only do 800-1000 lines in 8 hours either.
I am an older MT (16 years) and have had to do all of it. Never thought once about any of it except do my best at it, learn from it and then excel at it.
The thing that really interested me is the sm
potential to set my own hours as a deposition court reporter. I also see jobs to do closed captioning for television working at home. Right now I just want to be sure - before I spend the money and time - that this is a field that won't be taken over by VR anytime soon.
A few more tips for those interested
I use the number 8 key for my ectomy words.
For examply. Appendectomy is programmed as a8
Cholecystectomy c8
Hysterectomy h8
Tonsillectomy t8
You get the idea. In the rare instance that this interferes with another word (i.e. T8 on a spine exam. I type t8n which means (NOT) so it will expand to simply T8.
instead of using the semicolon, I do pretty much the same thing but with the slash / on the right side of the keyboard. I use this pretty much when i can divide words such as t/a therafter. u/w underwent u/g undergone l/h lightheaded.
for family members I use the number 9. For example,
b9 is brother s9 is sister sil9 is sister in law d9 is daughter gm9 grandmother gd9 grandaughter.
I use the letter z quite a bit to just to phonetically shorten words. For example.
dz disease anz aneurysm rz resolve rzd resolved rzg resolving bz because czd caused czg causing etc. If i here a "z" sound in a word I take advantage of it.
My psych words take the prefix nut. nuts is psychosis nutc is psychotic lol. Cute, I know, but I never forget these.
For really common words that I type a zillion times: AR anterior pr posterior ll lateral ml medial I try to make these as short as possible.
KEEP THE TIPS COMING. This is great to share.
