Ouch!!!
How long before you were back xcribing? I fractured mine last Friday and cannot reach the mouse without it being painful or feeling like the break is popping in and out. I am in a figure 8 harness. Not very comfortable to say the least.
Wow!!!!??????? What is ouch about it???
Why would that hurt? It is soap. You use it on your hands and it doesn't hurt. Geez!!!!!!!!!
ouch
I cannot get past her look - can you say Elf???
Ouch!
I am sorry your postings included corrections on your spelling, etc. We all make mistakes. I would never point out mistakes from an email to a coworker of mine and we are all transcriptionists and friends also. I like to think we are all on the same team! Anywho, I have never been stalked in that way, but I would block e-mail also and use the same ideas the other ladies had about this. I'm sure they will get the hint! Hopefully "they" will get the hint and leave you alone soon. I wouldn't advise going any further really. I think it would be a waste of your time and energy which could be better used finding the perfect job for you! I would just chalk it up to the fact that I am so wonderful that companies are actually stalking me for my expertise! Good luck in your search for a new job, friend.
Ouch!
Can't really say it's the thought that counts with something like that, huh? What a kick in the nuts.
The sad part is, I felt guilty asking but I feel cornered. I'm the sole support of my busted-a$$ 2-member household and the oil tank is empty, has been since last winter, and the cost of firewood went up, food went up, electricity, etc. I'm watching my little American Dream go right down the crapper and frankly it's scaring the heck out of me. Someone was mentioning abdominal pains the other day on here...I haven't poo'd in about a week--I kid you not. I get so jealous when I hear others say they only have to work part-time or not work at all because hubby brings in the cash and bennies, but I'm really just wishing I could be them!
Oh well. At least we got dental benefits so now I can almost afford to get my teeth looked at for the first time in 20 years! Only lost one in the interim!
Ouch---Just trying to help her out
She's a widow (husband did not have life insurance), lost her job about a month ago, and is seeking anything to pay the bills. She is not a Transcriptionist and transcription is only a VERY SMALL part of the job she's applying for. However, as we all know, most of us use our spellcheck on a regular basis, or at least our lovely specialty dictionary, and she thought the job would work out okay when being able to utilize the spellchecker. I have to agree with her on that point. The spelling test she has to take is a written test before ever even being allowed to take the transcription part of the test and is not over basic terms, grammar, and such but over police type terms, which commoners would not use on a daily basis.
ouch...
I am hoping it is something simple like the video card but if it is the motherboard I need to weigh my options...I have a laptop that I got brand new at Christmas time so I really could wait for another desktop for a while...but then if I wait something might happen to the laptop...in my mind anyway---lol...
Appendicitis...ouch!.........sm
Right lower quadrant... and "VERY" tender on palpation.
Ouch, that's the pits
I worked for hospitals on Long Island in the early 1980s, and I was getting $8.00 per hour with benefits. And in those days, you didn't have to pay for medical insurance.
Ouch....worse than me...sm
It's been 10 years for me too, but I do occasionally manage a weekend if I work 14 hour week days. Usually work 11-12 hour days. I'm having a light day today which is extremely unusual. I have 4 years to go and sometimes not sure I'll make it!
Wow. Popup ad. Ouch!
Am I the only one that got nailed with a mosquito-buzzing popup ad when clicking a link to read a message today? As a transcriptionist, my headset is almost always on and normally at full-blast as well. I understand MTStars need for advertising support, but is there a way to limit it to silent adverts only? That nearly blew my eardrums!
Ouch! HAHA :)

Well I'm doing this full time and ouch !!!
How do you make any money???? Typing and shortcuts is not the problem but trying to figure out some of what the dictators are saying is time consuming... How do you make money????????????
Though I love the research and find this interesting 40.00 a day is not going to cut it... Does it get better????? I feel stupid !!!!!!!!!!!!!
pt does get her mammagram daily. LOL ouch sm
GYN HISTORY
G2, P2. Her pregnancies were uncomplicated. She has not seen a gynecologist in over two years, but she does get her mammogram daily. Uhhh.... I don't think so Mr. MD!!! You couldn't get me to do that daily if ya paid me!
Ouch! How'd you do that? You'll get used to using the other foot.
I had to use my other foot for a while because my sciatica was acting up. Hope you feel better soon!
OUCH!!!! think I'll pass on the....nm
OUCH! I had a private policy with BC/BS for $180/month sm
and it was a pretty good plan -- Affordablue -- had a $25 copay for office visits or something like that. That was just a single plan, though. It included dental coverage too, bot other than covering for routine cleaning and such, it was kind of useless when paying for crowns and other "big" items.
Sounds like you have a good deal. Fortunately, I am working for Transtech now and have affordable insurance .. whew!
Oh, ouch! I hope things improve soon!
That's the very reason I've never took that plunge into independent...it's just so HARD for you guys. Hats off to you for all your hard work. Good luck.
Ouch. I happen to agree with her. 15 years sm
here - and I would not recommend this field to anyone. She asked for opinions and we gave ours - we did not "make" our problems anybody else's.
P.S. The temperamental Sony unit was a bargain at $100! Ouch!
Anybody want to sell me a bridge?
I know a group of Docs (GPs) that type their own notes!!! OUCH! nm

oh my gosh, would you, yourself, bathe in DAWN dish soap - ouch!
no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
not so good I'm afraid. ovarian cyst really hurting <>. hopefully will get better. nm

What does it hurt you if this is
on the word board? Nobody is forcing you to read the post, and especially to reply. If you can't be nice, butt out!!! What a rip!!!
I would be hurt too (sm)
But I would not let them know it. When FD rolls around would not do anything for your DH and I would 'play-down' the birthdays of the older children when they come around... Sounds like this might not be the first time and time they tasted their own medicine... don't hold onto the hurt or anger - let it go for your sake and you don't need to be mean - but at 18 and 21 they are old enough to take responsibility for their behavior!!
I don't think it would hurt
The same thing happened to a friend of mine who questioned the company after failing her test. There was a glitch in the computer, and she got hired!
Can't hurt to ask.
When I first started hospital stuff I did H&P and DS and then added in the OP notes and then every other type of note under the sun.
I got spanked when I was a kid and it never hurt me.
Then when I had children (they're grown now0, they got spanked, too, and it never hurt them. It usually was a last straw, but sometimes it was necessary, and they are none the worse for it, either. However, each of us is entitled to our own opinion and entitled to raise our children the way we see fit as long as we raise them in a loving home. 
My neck does hurt too...but...
my wrists usually get super sore when I STOP typing, I guess from not using them so much. If I take a weekend off, I am in severe pain with them, usually the brace works or taking ibuprofen, but now the brace doesn't fit. Thanks for your help!! I have actually thought about trying acupuncture, someone I know did that and they don't have any back pain at all after some sessions, supposed to be covered by my insurance too. Thanks again for your help!
I have the Panasonic behind the ear one, but they hurt.
Waaaaa. I'm looking in to those big ones like we used to use in the 70's with our stereo systems. Does anyone use them?
Whatever. Nothing to hurt and I'm not ashamed.
But it doesn't hurt to try!!!
nm
It certainly can't hurt anything to call, but...
He may think swallowing water caused it, but I bet he was yelling and having fun and got hoarse. If he's not sick by the time you're reading this, he's just fine.
Try a new keyboard -it can't hurt sm
Sounds like common sense but it was something I had not thought of before. I have been using the Dell standard keyboard since I got my new PC 2 years ago-have always used whatever keyboard that came with my new PCs. My hands were starting to hurt so I tried a Kinesis-didn't work. Too long of a learning curve for me. That's on the back burner for when I have more time. So I bought a Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 on sale at Walmart for 20 bucks last week and my production has gone up 20% just in that little time. It seems the keys are lighter and I don't have to push as hard on them.
It couldn't hurt
I get paid by the page. I actually can make more money per hour doing tapes than I can as an MT, it's just unreliable. I've gone almost a month without tapes a few times.
I would think some do, wouldn't hurt to
send them out to them too.
DEA prays to hurt
"I'm going to start doing my part from my side of the country. I pray everybody else will do theirs!"
What kind of Prayer is this where you want to hurt others? Who do you pray to? Satan? You seem to have plenty of unproductive time at hand. No or little MT work? Then why do you not sleep during the day and work overnight to stop outsourcing, as Laurie says? That would be a more productive way to contributing to achieving your objective of curtailing outsourcing. Not to forget, cut your demand for line rate too as the dollar is weakening in the international market, which is contributing to increase in the cost of living.
What side do you hurt on with appendicitis?
I don't think it would hurt to post a resume - hey,
you never know. If you're not happy where you are, keep your options open and post the resume!
So what's it hurt to sign it just in case?
nm
call and ask for a label. What would it hurt?
If they say they do not do that, send it cheap. If they do, it only cost you the dime for the call.
When I left KS a few months back, they did not mention it but when I asked, they sent Fed Ex to pick it up.
When I left DR to go back to KS, DR made me pay for it but at least I asked.
Would not hurt to try
Oh, owie! That hurt. You cut me to the core with that one.
NOT!!!! I don't care what you use as a resource, but I've been assigned the most difficult accounts at my job with 100% on QA scores. Why is that? Hmm, because I don't leave blanks when I can't find a term in a book. Instead, I find it on the Internet. I've been praised for that ability, too.
Nope, you saw right and I saw previews where they get hurt a lot.

You've really hurt my feelings - NOT

Transcribing for 20, only at home 1.5, but now I hurt. sm
I just started with pain in my left little finger. I do my CTS exercises, finger stretches and now I wear a left hand splint to bed. It helps a lot as I have a tendency to curl my left hand up under my neck when I'm sleeping.
I wear Smart Gloves when I type and they really help a lot. I misplaced them for about a month when we changed rooms around and that's when the finger started to hurt. It's better now and not really painful, just annoying and it's only the one finger.
I guess I can't be too bad off for an oldMT.
Their ignorance doesn't hurt me
as much as the ignorance of people who should know better - like our "supervisors" etc. The only answer to nurses or anybody else who thinks like them is to give them a test tape and let them "have at it". That's usually a good eye opener, or mind opener.
Couldn't hurt to ask for a new pair
Couldn't hurt to ask right? That's my motto. Another motto of mine: Tis better to run over a pair of $14.97 headsets than a R100.00 pair... JMTOU (just made that one up). LOL
Careful, you will hurt your shoulder.

1 out of every 15 kids hurt because of error on MR
MSN has an article that 1 out of every 15 kids who are hospitalized are hurt or die because of prescription errors in the medical record! Something happened to a child of Dennis Quaid and he and his wife have raised awareness of how important it is that correct dosages be placed on the medical record for patients. I guess this would not just apply to the doctor saying it clearly and correctly, but to us typing it correctly. Our job is not just typing, as you can see here. What we put will definitely have an impact on the patient. I was amazed when I saw how high the mortality rate is because of what is on the medical record. A good wake up call, I think!
Why so bitter?? Does the truth hurt? nm

His mandatory EHR will hurt MT's. If you dont
