and you resent successful white people
,
Me, too, but we weren't allowed to use White-Out. We had to erase sm
all our carbons, sometimes I had 6, as we weren't allowed to use a copier. I wish we had a board of our own, don't you? Things are different with us.
I have bilateral tinnitus and HATE it. White noise or radio softly on helps get my mind off of it.

No. People are not allowed to identify themselves there.
Identifying yourself along with your employer is what I am talking about.
Publicly putting your personal life and identity into cyberspace and attaching it to your employer is usually a big no-no with employers. They have a no representation clause.
You're in or near White Plains?! I used to live there!
I wish I would have known that at the time!
Most of the country despises and resents successful white people

I work for a national, and we're allowed

Ya know what, you're allowed a bad day or two. We all are. Ignore all the judgmental SM
"super" women here who act like they've got it all together, never resent anything or anyone, they all make 50,000 or more a year, have the greatest job in the world, perfect husbands, perfect kids, and perfect lives. They're only fooling themselves.
I feel for you! And I understand that you don't resent the child you've been "given" but that you love her and you just have days when you feel weighed down and angry. You do without and give all of yourself to your child and then you get angry when you type reports on self-serving, vain women having their faces lifted or their eyes done as if that is the most important thing in life - looking younger.
I know you love your child. You don't resent her at all. You do all you can for her. You're just having a bad day. Like I said before, you're allowed a bad day every now again.
We're not allowed to put 'the pt.' unless it's dictated, so
when in doubt, I put the patient's first name, or in some cases Ms. Johnson, or Mr. Smith.
Yea, and you ought to try it in a snow storm. Practically white out and they're roaring

In our house, we're all allowed to make suggestions. sm
and a lot of the time we do the shopping together. We try to make sure that the majority of us like something before we decide on it for dinner. And we're always trying new things and have found many new favorites that way. However, if there's something we're planning on having that one of us doesn't like, I'll make a simple alternative to it (like maybe fish, etc.)
I certainly can't criticize the kids for not liking everything we like, or tell them to go without if they don't like it, because half of the time it's ME who doesn't like the planned dinner. For example, they all love steak and I can't stand red meat.
We try to include enough of a variety so that everyone's happy. If one person isn't crazy about the main dish, then more than likely they're going to eat more salad and veggies or maybe a sandwich with it. It all works out. :)
You can tell they're White Anglo Saxon Protestants (WASPs) by voice alone?
What if they're:
Catholic
Jewish
Italian
Polish
etc.
etc.
etc.
Why the animosity? Jealous?
Give it up and enjoy your vacation! They'll live w/o you for a few days.You're allowed! :) nm

I don't think most people here hate being MTs. sm
On the contrary I think most truly love the work they do and find it very fulfilling. If you have been in this biz for a long while it has changed, from a one quite highly respected profession with very good compensation (as it should be) to a profession that is thought much less of than years prior, and with that a slow decline in compensation for the professional work that we do. I think most MTs love the profession, but don't like the decline in wages nor the lack of professional recognition that was the case years ago. Wages have been stagnant or even lowered over the last 10 years. If suddenly MTs were being compensated instead of the norm of 8 cents per line suddenly to 11 cents a line or more the atttitude of the MT would drastically cahnge. No one who does highly skilled and profession work is ever happy watching their skills being demeaned through the years,, although they still may love the work that they do.
Elimiate white flour and white sugar from your diet.
I do ops all the time too and HATE them. Why do people like them? sm
Give me a 10 minute discharge, ER, consult, H&P any day. I always wondered why people liked OP notes with all of the different equipment terms and such.
I hate when people ask this question.
It always brings out at least one delusional "I make 100 grand a year doing MT" from the woodwork.
As if everyone is being honest when answering a personal question like this.
** RANT!! ** I hate QA people!
 They whine about everything they're sent. I think we should all boycott QA for a week, send them nothing, and put them out of a job.
You're probably right. Plus we're losing our percentage of good people by .... (sm)
allowing every loser from every 3rd world country on the planet to just stroll on into our country, some legally, most illegally, and take advantage of the social services all us hard working little gerbils pay for by having money taken out of our pay every month. But I don't think we're all lazy. Just the ones on permanent welfare driving around town in brand-new Cadillac Escalades. Saw one just today on the Bayshore Fwy. Brand-new black Escalade with expensive spinner wheels, with 5 or 6 Mexicans in it. Well, who knows - maybe they stole it and it was on its way to a chop-shop. Smart-and-hungry people aren't always hard-working and honest.
The people who hate QA are the ones with bad skills and cannot type for nothing!
Maybe these people should learn how to bring their scores up instead of thinking their mistakes are right!
Love psych notes. HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE,
HATE ER notes.
You're right! I forgot! I'm happy! Not even a hugely ignorant poster can change that! I AM hap
This is the dawn of my happy day, and I will NOT forget it again! Thanks Michelle!! Well, Dr. Burpinchortle is calling me - he has a STAT report! Really, its been fun, and I would love to do it again! Maybe tomorrow night?? This was really fun! I mean it!! Good night!
I hate crowds. Big sales bring out the worst in people.
I tried it twice several years ago. Never again. People were just rudely shoving everyone else around trying to get from store to store to gather up all the freebies or super deals.
We tried to go to the movies instead, but all the Harry Potter matinees were sold out. Again.
No, we're both tossers. Hate clutter, if it isn't used, we donate or trash it.

I hate when companies treat us like we're working for pin money
Am I supposed to be happy when a company only gives me 200 or 300 lines a day when they promise you a certain amount (that is higher than that)? How would the company employees (not us lowly transcriptionists) feel if the company told them that they were only getting paid 100 dollars this pay period, that there wasn't enough work. Not enough to pay bills and keep food on the table, just pin money.
Sheesh.
I like VR, too and also resent getting
straight transcription. I'm not flexible enough to switch from VR to straight. It really slows me down, especially when the mix is VR to straight, back to VR back to straight, for hours at a time, which I have had quite a few times in the past couple weeks. Hate that.
I rep-resent that remark. sm
I'm just not a fan of the kid. He's getting a bit too big for his britches. A little confidence never hurt anyone, I just hope he uses it properly.
It's resent via email.
That could have been where I messed up. Not sure, I tried about 5 times and even had it resent.
.
Some resent paying for transcription
The big selling point of VR is to get rid of the transcription bill! Some physicians resent having to pay for transcription.
I agree with you - letters need to be written to local papers and medical publications. Maybe we could take out an ad in JAMA and/or a big paper like WSJ? :)
Yes, will take them both and go for it. Worst that can happen is they resent me for bailing out.

Why not leave them white or off-white and use
accessories and window treatments to bring it together. Personally, I like neutral color walls and like to decorate around them. You can bring the rooms together with nice window treatments, throw pillows, and candles with candle holders.
Pier-1 imports has great decorating ideas.
Good luck.
We're having people over.
Spicy hot chicken legs, cream cheese and bacon stuffed jalapenos, zucchini, steamed green beans, hamburgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob, potato salad, and watermelon. Gotta get to the store soon here, but I have to finish working first.
You're so right! People keep saying they - sm
love their MT jobs, but very few seem to be willing to stand up and fight for them. Just continuing to type blindly along and accept the ever-lower pay-crumbs that are being thrown at it is NOT standing up for our jobs.
Questioning the legality (or at least morality) of many of these most recent changes; educating ourselves as to what is going on in the business world as a whole in addition to MT; and becoming more active (and PARTICULARLY more VOCAL) politically and with our own companies is one way to stand up and start fighting for our jobs. I believe we have the right NOT to have to move to another country in order to continue to eke out a living.
The internet is another powerful tool, as are discussion boards such as those here at MT Stars. We should keep on questioning those higher-ups that are bringing about changes that benefit the wealthy big-business people, and which are dragging all the rest of us hard-working employees through the dirt.
Time and again the doctors & the MTSO's tell us how important the accuracy of our work is, how important our experience is, and want nothing but our very best efforts day in and day out, including holidays & weekends, and yet when it comes to providing the merest of essentials, such as a modest health insurance plan, and pay that is appropriate for the degree of knowledge they scrutinize us so diligently for in their employment tests, they suddenly cry poor. Oh, wow - I feel so sorry for them. Start the violins.
you're right, the zoning people got me....sm
Someone where I live busted some people for working at home just recently, as place went condo, and the zoning people got me in February. (Years ago, as long as you had no traffic, you never had to get an occupational license working on a computer and I have zero traffic.) They came here twice, I showed them only the national's room (and for years on my taxes, CPA said only like $2600 out of a $15,000 annual rental fee WAS deductible along with a portion of the electric bill and ALL of my phones). Tomorrow, along with going to the CPA for tax prep, I also am picking up my occupational license ($200!!!!!) and you have to renew that yearly ($135!!!!!).
Sorry to yell but IS ANY OF THAT DEDUCTIBLE? The licensuring fees? I also have to take the OL and bring it to the County and get a County license (not nearly as expensive but also renewable yearly). I sure hope these fees are deductible for 2006 taxes in 2007.
Ok, they got me - and payback is a real *itch...*lol*
What response do you get when you tell people you're an MT?
 I've been doing MT for a long time - 31 years this summer. "Back in the day", when somewhat you met asked you what you did for a living, the reaction was usually:
a) "What's a medical transcriber?"
b) "Wow - it must've taken you a long time to learn all that!"
c) or "Gee, that must be a really interesting job!
At least they PRETENDED to be impressed, anyway.
But have you told anyone lately what you do for a living? The reactions I get nowadays usually run the gamut from contempt to pity.
You're at a party, you've just met 3 new people, and each one tells what they do for a living:
"I'm a stockbroker." (People are impressed.)
"I'm an English Lit. professor." (Ditto)
"I'm currently between jobs." (People assume they're just waiting for the right offer.)
Then it's YOUR turn: "I'm medical transcriptionist." (First, dead silence.) Then someone nods their head knowingly and gives a rather condescending, "Oohhhhh...." You might just as well have told them you were dying of cancer or something. 
this is too funny when you're probably talking to people
who have a lot more weight to lose than you must have and will probably NEVER see the size 8 that you started at. only a dream for me, that's for sure!
Nothing at all, glad you're NOT complaining which what most people come here to do.

Also, don't you think alot of the 'big bux' people say they're
I could get on these boards and tell folks I'm clearing $150K a year after taxes, own 3 homes, and a 70-foot yacht, and who's gonna come check to see if I'm feeding them a line? So that's what I think alot of that '$50-grand a year' is... just a lot of wishful thinking.
People either love it or hate it. I personally love it
but I know a lot of people say you cannot make any money on it and will not work on it. I do okay. I'm obviously not getting rich but I am making a living. I found it easier than Dictaphone and faster such in downloading and uploading job and you only have to log on one system and not like Dictaphone where you have to log onto the VPN and then log onto the program. It's always worth a try, but yes, the biggest complaint I hear is that no one can make a living and the cpl isn't that great.
As long as you're correcting people, think about "English."

The MTSO should be compensating you if you're teaching people!
And if they won't, then I'd politely refer their questions to the MTSO. And the email request is perfectly reasonable, IMO.
It's been my experience as a lead MT and trainer over the years that some people just would rather have somebody give them fish rather than learn to do it themselves. When I got that "vibe" from somebody I promptly handed them their fishing pole and bait and refused to give them any more fish, if you know what I mean!
I guess they're hoping enoug people will quit
that it won't be a problem anymore!! Sigh.
You're rude. That being said... Some people just work alone for a couple doctors and don't

Never had this happen either. Email the SH people. They're very prompt with help. Good

I hate those but I hate trauma notes on children even more sm
I used to work for a large hospital that saw a lot of children for various horrible things.
The very last one I did was a 12yo boy who had hung himself while his mother was at work. She thought he was in school. The doctor cried, I cried (as I usually did) and I just couldn't handle that anymore. That was the longest report I swear. Short in lines but the length was almost an hour. The doc didn't pause the machine, she cried, horrible gut wrenching sobs, and I did too, right along with her.
if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.
As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
Whoops...I forgot - cranberry sauce, too. My husband would kill me if I forgot the cranberry sauce!
I don't hate AAMT at all, ks. I don't hate
their book. In fact, I love the BOS2. It is not a regular grammar book at all - there are hundreds of issues in it that are point specific to MTing and medical field. I have dozens of regular grammar books, too, for other purposes, and they are not similar at all. I purchased the BOS2 when out job interviewing for a few months. Every single employer wanted me to have my own company, and they all tested off of it. Several used it in their daily work, and I have found it priceless over all. I think its even on sale now, but $89 is not a lot for a professional tool that we should use if required, or if a newbie. MTs who don't like to buy books are not very wise in the big picture. Its like shooting yourself in the foot.
