It's the almighty $
You are right, Jenn. Most doctors do not want VR, they don't want to take the time to train on VR, and they don't want to have to correct their reports. They value a human MT.
It's the almighty dollar that has the last word. It's expensive to implement, but cheaper in the long run to use VR rather than human MTs. Administration is not concerned with the quality, only the expense. If it looks good on paper, it's a deal. VR is bundled with PACS in radiology settings - and all radiology facilities will eventually be using PACS as x-ray film has become obsolete. A digitized radiology dept. does not have to worry about huge files to store, processing equipment, darkrooms and developing chemicals/waste.
Teleradiology is here and medical facilities must keep up with the technology to provide their services. Rad MT positions will be hard to come by as facilities make the switch to digitized systems. For rad MTs, it isn't looking good down the road.
Almighty doctor
Actually...more likely the almighty insurance companies or to take it even further, our almighty govt. is to blame.
MTSO's in order to compete with offshore and with doctors cutting back and insurance companies cutting back, have had to lower what they charge doctors (or lose business to offshore), therefore they have to pay MTs less. It's a vicious cycle. It's happening in the tech industry, as well.
If we don't like it, we should think about how we VOTE, because that's the only power we have left at this point.
The almighty numbers
I totally agree with Patti. Who the heck do they think they are (AHDI)to change everything they feel like on a whim. It's all about the money for them and we all know that.
Nope, I don't feel "LUCKY" to be treated like an imbicile by my company. Nope, No way.

Bottom line for EVERYTHING is the almighty

Maybe a bottle of Jose Cuervo

If an MT drinks a whole bottle of wine while...
working, there is NO WAY that can't have any affect. Yikes!  There she.he goes now! 
The baby has to eat, whether breast or bottle
feeding. This is a time in their lives that you will only have just once and no matter how much you wish to have it again, it will never be. I breast-fed my youngest 30 minutes, every 30 minutes it seemed. It can be done if you have the right attitude and you have some flexibility in your job and your SO is willing to help out.
The 'Genie' (internet) is out of the bottle, but - (sm)
the medical world seems to think that in the case of MTs, they can return ours to the bottle.
We have it. We like it. And we're never gonna give it up.
try Listerine in a spray bottle
it works in my car. I had problems with ants getting in the car during summer. I was told to spray (soak) the carpet, and WA la... no more ants!!
I agree with mac. You might want to buy a BIG bottle of Excedrin before starting but the more you
type them the easier it gets. I also write down the phrases, which helps and have example reports. The words I usually do get stumped on too are the English words we use everyday. Keeping trying and they will get lots easier
the extra bottle for the shampoo is an excellent idea
I could prob do that for just about every soap I use.
The water bottle is a very good training tool
for cats (squart guns too). Get a good scratching post and rub it with catnip. I use double-sided tape that I get from the Foster&Smith website and the cats leave my furniture alone. (I have 4 cats). The log is a nice idea too...messy but nice in addition to scratching posts and such.
Not all combs/brushes are created equal and I have found that the curry-comb type work best. They are sometimes called a shedding comb. It is in the shape of a loop with a handle. I put a towel on the floor and go to town! In the spring I can get a cat-sized ball of fur off of them using this comb. Regular combing will really help keep your house cleaner. You still need to use a roller or duct tape placed around your hand to remove it from your furniture on a regular basis. Good luck.
detrimenal impact on your life. Loyalty is gone. Almighty dollar has taken its place.

anon - the almighty $ will show in personal injury/malpractice cases. (nm)

It's all about the almighty buck where MTJobs is related. Note that E-Tranz is an MTDaily paid
People should have powdered formula/mild. Mix it up one bottle at a time.

Here's a tip: Put fabric softener and hot water in spray bottle and spray the paper down. Works
You dare question the judgment of the almighty RN! How dare you!
Don't you know that RN's know everything and are the beginning and end all of all that's holy in the medical kingdom!?
But seriously, you have my sympathy, girl. Hang in there.
nope
I did that for a while, gave QA, my TC everyone my private email and then I got an email and phone call from my TC, no longer would I receive emails from them unless I did it through Imail..and now this new darn system..I dont need this drama in my life, for pete sake, Im just trying to make a paycheck, ya know??
Nope...
not if being paid on production. Questions and blanks go straight to QA. But this could depend on how much experience you have.
nope
nm
nope! nm
Did someone ask you what you think????? Nope!!!
:
nope!
Nope

nope
I would just chalk it up to experience and move on. Actually, that is just what I did, or had to do. If I was counting on them to either pass my tests, or offer me a position, I would have starved to death long ago. I had even found THEM work with a small company that was looking for an MTSO to do some of their accounts. I was promised that since I found the positions for them, that I would be one of them to test for the jobs. NEVER happened. They gave the testing and the positions to three others. When I questioned them about it, they told me that they had not even gotten the accounts, even after I learned they had signed the contracts. Consider it a loss, and take it off next year's taxes. That is the only way you will get any compensation back, and a lesson learned. But frankly, I am still bitter. Even though I found some pretty good positions and am doing now what I love. Good Luck.
nope
You would burn them up in no time. I would recommend unlimited services like Vonage or zerocents.com
nope
I would do this if not verbatim
She is a 66-year-old white female, recently transferred to our practive with diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, who I refer, blah blah
Nope, not for you. sm
Sorry. I must have gotten the Florida thing wrong. I thought she also said she was going to Florida, so I'm sorry for having the wrong destination. And I wasn't trying to pick some sort of fight. I was merely posing another opinion/option. There's nothing wrong with not taking the kids on a BUSINESS trip. BTW, thanks for the all-caps on the BUSINESS thing. It didn't come off at all snotty. So, no, my response wasn't meant for you. Thanks for asking, though.
Nope
Gave up holidays years ago and have never regretted it.
nope..
you are mistaken here. type 0-9 in three lines in NotePad and save it as a file. You will see 30 bytes, not KBs.
:)))
Nope.
Been there done that. The online classes are a joke and it is almost completely self study. Wish I had saved my money.
Nope, not to much to ask and we never should
have to! That said, while I tried all the usuals, nothing got my kids attention as much as no clothes to wear, no clean glasses and their rooms smelling like something died in them.
MOM, where's my jeans? How should I know, I did'nt wear them, usually led to finding them on the floor under 3 feet of whatever. They all got the same printed list of how to do's and now they do them well.
nope
the company I'm involved with puts food on the table and pays my bills........I don't exactly call that "gotten to me".....
Nope
Sorry, but it's all hype, and potentially dangerous. If you research it at medical sites, the phrase perforated colon is usually mentioned!

Nope. You really don't get it, do you? sm
I don't think any amount of explaining is going to make you understand, either. The same thing that was MISSING when you posted seeking medical advice for what could have been an emergency is the same thing that is keeping you from understanding why people are annoyed every time you post anything. Go back. Start at your post and the content of it. Begin at square 1 and read your post and the responses, followed by more of your posts. I have little hope you'll ever get a clue about anything, considering your original post.
nope. www.dol.gov -- they don't have to do that.
it's in their best interest to do that but not required to
Nope!
I surely would not, though there are many things about the job I like; i.e, working at home - making great money. What I don't like about it is always being tied down to it - can't take days off or vacation - that sort of thing. But then, there's no job that's perfect, right?
Nope! I just tell her to go lay down, and she goes. nm

Nope, I have never
had any kind of medical terminology course or MT course. I just lucked out. I worked in the billing department for a small hospital and the HIM manager called me up one day out of the blue and offered me a job as a transcriptionist. They trained me and started me out at normal certified salary.
nope, that's not it (sm)
I wish I had my wits about me enough to have thought to snap a picture. Trying to remember from the quick glimpses I had (at a safe distance). The harder I try to remember the less I do. Kinda of like the poster above who said by the end of the week it will grow as she tells the story. I can still see that tongue flicking at me though. Ugh.
nope, but I think there are
some sort of mystery fumes filtering through the computer screens today and people have sniffed it a little too long and it gave them a major case of WHINY HINEY.
nope. not at all
Yes. I agree with once in a while, but on a weekly or daily basis? Nope! Especially with young children at home. Married folks have to pull together, not apart.
DH and I have different interests on occasion. He is a runner, I'm a camper. I go camping with our youngest (16 yo DS) fairly often. DH would rather be on the track running in circles. So we often take a few days off and go in different directions -- me to the hiking trails, him to a track meet (and he's a gold medalist in the 1500 m Masters Nationals this year -- had to crow!). But when our kids were little, never, NEVER did he or I go and hang out anywhere on a regular basis. How unfair to whoever is left at home!
Nope that was the pay I saw for a job
That is why I asked it seemed funny
Nope...
this doesn't work either but thanks for trying.
Nope.
But I work on EditScript and it doesn't really interrupt anything. I don't have to worry about TAT either.
Nope.
Sometimes documents get "stuck" and will stay checked out to you, but usually if you have to do an emergency shut down, power outage, etc., then you lose whatever you have done and the note will go into someone elses queue.
Nope, I think she is trying to help. (sm)
I don't understand MTs who don't think about the reaction they get from MDs and nurses who read their reports and see medical or English mistakes. (Now obviously the only people who know the recent BOS rule changes are people in the MT world, and I think it is dumb that the BOS changes rules for us when nobody is explaining them to the MDs, who must think we are idiots now, but that's a war I can't win). What I care about are medical errors, anatomical errors, formatting errors, grammar errors, English errors. Those are the errors I have seen in many place I have worked that are inexcusable. A good MT cares about quality as much as production, and should gratefully learn from whatever QA can point out as errors for them. If MTs don't think excellence is important, why in the world did they go into a clerical medical field.
Where I work currently the work I see is much better, thankfully. This must be due to hiring of good MTs and good QA.
Nope, not there. sm
Thanks for the help but there weren't any that I put in there. This is absolutely horrible. I use autotext a lot with "canned" dictation.
Thanks for trying to help me.
Nope
Well, actually I have an electronic copy on my computer which was provided by the transcription service I worked for but I think I have actually opened it up maybe twice.
