Very wise post. Didnt look at it this way before.

I didnt really read your post, but thought i would reply anyway
email me if you have enough nerve to speak to someone more in person than on the boards. I would be more than happy to have a debate with you if you are mature enough to handle it, but would rather not do it here.
My post disappeared. I wasnt being disrespectful with the TV just tired and didnt proof before subm
Sorry if I offended anyone when I saw it I had a good laugh with everyone else but still thought there was good advice in the post but I guess not -- my apologies if I offended and will watch my ShortHand lol.
Not OP but wanted to post about rad. sm
I work for Keystrokes on two different accounts. One is the best account ever, and I literally type 22-26 reports per hour. I have been on the same account for 4 years, use Shorthand religiously, sit and type straight through 6 hours 6 days a week (my choice). About a year ago, I got a bug in my bonnet and asked to change accounts. It was right as the new residents came in, and it seemed to be the worst group ever. I moved to another account, and my counts cut in half.
So, I would recommend Keystrokes for radiology accounts but by the report and make sure that it is an account that either pays links or pays higher because it does not pay links.

I wanted to know if this was a legitimate post..sm
because she recently worked for me and I would like to know which funeral home so that I may send flowers. Such a awful thing to happen.
My post was NOT NOT INSULTING. I just wanted to get some answers
YES HE OR SHE IS ON A POWER TRIP if they keep deleting my questions. Why are THEY AFRAID to answer who owns this company. I will stick around until I get a satisfactory answer. I never said I HATED THIS SITE. Where did you get that from? I am not telling YOU how to post either. So again, ONLY WANT TO KNOW WHO OWNS THIS COMPANY. SIMPLE, SIMPLE QUESTION. NOT an insult.
no flame here, no problem - just wanted to post information, how a person uses it is up to them...(n

clarification
The original poster asked a question, which I answered. The examples I gave of actual reports have nothing to do with demonstrating my superiority, nor were they meant to make fun of anyone, but were simply to show the types of problems I personally encounter on a daily basis (all from MT’s with 5+ years experience in radiology, and including one supervisor) . Expanders are great when properly used, but I think there comes a point when one becomes to dependant on technology and complacency sets in, causing avoidable mistakes. Spellchecker’s are also wonderful, but what is the point if it is not being used?
I am well aware I am not perfect, nor can I think of anyone that is. I currently read an average of between 400-600 reports a day and I’m sure I occasionally miss something. I care about the quality of the work that I do however, and my first priority is to each patient when I read his or her report. It’s not just another medical record number, it’s someone’s mother, father, sister, brother, son or daughter and they deserve the best I can do, and their medical care depends on it. I’m not rich, hell I’m a month behind on my house note right now due to an emergency, but it can’t be just about the money, if it is, it’s time for a change.
Clarification please
When you guys are taking about SE - you just mean an employee and an IC is the independent contractor -- correct?
Clarification
It is not my understanding is that making MT an apprenticeable occupation will REQUIRE all new MTs to become apprentices before they can be hired. If that were the case, I would oppose it myself. My understanding is that if MT becomes an apprenticeable occupation, that will provide incentives to employers or others to start apprenticeship programs and hopefully provide some assistance to the MTs who will go through those programs. Certainly the concept of apprenticeship for MT is a great idea and very much needed to provide more opportunities for MTs to get the experience they need to get a good job. How we go about making that happen is, of course, where the crux of the matter lies.
I can tell you from personal experience that not all graduates of the "top 3 schools" are ready to work. In fact, I would say that is the exception rather than the rule.
When I hear people criticizing apprenticeship/externship programs that pay new MTs a small line rate while they are getting experience, I have to ask, what's the alternative? The fact is that many new MTs cannot get a job, period. That means not only are they not getting paid, they are not getting any experience--the experience they have to have in order to get a job! So to me, the opportunity to get experience at ANY rate of pay is better than nothing at all.

I just wanted to clarify my comments on the subject in case anyone things I'm advocating your storming in the office with guns ready. LOL When I say "force her hand," I mean do your job and billing as usual. IF she's getting ready to end your contract, make her be the one to do so by keeping your end of the deal, rather than you walking out on something you've worked hard at. Also, when I said I'd be tempted to mention their vacation/inability to pay you, I meant just that. I'd be tempted. (I was merely venting.) As someone said, this is a business situation. I'm sure you'll act appropriately, especially if you happen to come face to face with the doctor, who seems to think highly of you. There really isn't much you can do besides business as usual and then decide what's next should things worsen.
Pay clarification
I should state that the MTs in question do not work in the hospital but rather as independent contractors for a national company. We are paid by line count.
IRS clarification.
See link below for differences between IC, employee, etc. Hopefully, this provide information to those on the board who have questions regarding this issue.

My friend said at work at the hospital, things were pretty much just that, work, where you could ask the doctors, other staff questions. They took bus trips off the compound to go shopping and such, and that is when you had to wear the burka. You could not speak or make eye contact with a man (unless he was your husband), once they left the compound. I think she worked for an eye hospital. At work, you had to be covered at least to cover your elbows with your shirt and of course no skin at all showing anywhere else. My friend said they paid for your nice apartment, and all you had to buy was your food, so you could save most of the money and bring it back. She said it was not for everyone, with the strict rules about male/female, etc. I am still looking for Nellie. Hope you are well.
A little clarification. sm
I consider a line 65 characters with spaces.

Sorry...I failed to mention that I have the WP 5.1 documents saved to a flash drive. I am trying to search the flash drive for a last name, for example, through Windows, but the documents are WP 5.1 documents.
This is for your clarification.
It hosed me financially and she had the gall to tell me she wasn't responsible for my financial situation. When you are the one holding my paycheck, you are.
The statement above is made by the poster. It is simply stated in other posts that the MTSO paying late is not responsible for this particular poster's financial situation, and this is true. No one has stated yet that the MTSO should not pay on time or an MT should tolerate it, but the fact remains that it is not the MTSO's responsibility to plan an MT"s finances. I feel sorry for the sick child, but please let's not make excuses. I know plenty of people with sick children that still financially plan. Come on - I think this is all out of context here.
for clarification
I could clearly hear the patient in the background. She spoke English. her son was also trying to interpret for the doctor repeating things like throwing up etc. If a doctor can't understand that - then English classes are necessary. This was an emergency clinic, so she had no where to go apparently at the time she needed to be seen. Personally i would have left.
You are so right. Thanks for the clarification.
Clarification please
Your printer usually prints in the font that you are typing your document in, what exactly do you mean??????

No. I have done MT for 15 years but STOPPED it approximately 2 years ago. I should clarify that.

The SR/ASR that my company is using is not on the client end. The clients dictate as normal. This software we use will listen to the recorded dictation and then spit out a report for us to edit.
CRUELTY CLARIFICATION
To the multiple posters below, regarding the thread on farm animal cruelty. First of all, I believe you. Second of all, me and many like me don't have access to video and/or cannot watch the video. Yet, we still want some facts. I was not able to pick up fact based on the thread. Here is what I found out -- VERY INFORMATIVE by the way, and I appreciated reading it -- but there were still questions in the air. Can someone please CLARIFY, by way of simply stating the facts, what is going on with each of the following animals, so that we, AS CONSUMERS WHO MOSTLY SHOP AT BIG CITY SUPERMARKETS, can make an INFORMED CHOICE based on these facts:
1. Chickens. Know they live their lives squashed and get heads severed off via rotating razor blades. True, false, anything missing?
2. Veal calves. The cruelest fate of all (besides french geese for fois gras or however you spell it). Tiny crates, water deprivation, light deprivation, no straw, no way to move the extremities. And how are they killed?
3. Regular calves, and cows for meat. How are they killed - really? I think the general public thinks they get a humane bullet in the head. Is this not true?
4. Dairy cows. Their fate? And aren't they treated a little better (fresh air, etc.) for dairy vs meat? Please inform.
5. Pigs. We know that they eat, we know they are dirty, but assume that they, too, get room to roam, and are killed with a bullet BEFORE being cut up. Is this true? If not, how different?
6. Anything else we need to know about?
So very, very much appreciate a WRITTEN answer to those of us who have no access to / cannot go the video route. BIG THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.
For: clarification for Kate
I was referring to working as an IC for a service. Some services offer IC, SE and employee status positions.
1099 clarification
The person who paid you, need to have the 1099 post marked no later than 01/31. The person who paid you needs to supply copies of the 1099s to the IRS no later than 02/28. Do no confuse these dates. If you utilized (mind you not employed) ICs, then you too need to have their portion fo the 1099s post marked by 01/31 and the portion that is to be filed with the IRS by02/28.
clarification on outsourcing
What I meant to say was they outsource a lot of the dictation to India. Should have clarified that.
Thanks for the clarification and additional information.

clarification-had no formal training in....
working for MDs/transcription but came fully experienced into the medical and then MT field by working years prior in secretarial/typing/administrative assistant work....
not like I came into the MT biz with no training whatsoever...hence, I needed to clarify my original post...
Clarification - I did not mean breast exam sm
was required, only that an exam was required in NY for a minor to get a work permit. Personally, my kids have gone slightly over 12 months in between physical exams, and I was assuming that this girl's exam was probably overdue. Therefore, she was getting more than just a routine "Stick out your tongue, let me listen to your chest, you're okay to work" type of exam solely for the permit and instead had to have a more thorough exam. That being said, I don't care how old my daughter is, as long as she is a minor, I will be in the room with her during an exam. Same thing for my son.
Clarification: 1200 lpd x 5 days/week...

Need some clarification on C-phone dictation and some websites for urology sm
I will be covering the transcription for a urology clinic. I was briefly told that the doctors dictate to a C-phone that goes directly to a base office. Then the file is e-mailed to their office where they can access the dictation. Does this sound right or are they accessing the file from the base office through FTP and then downloading it. Also, doesl AOL work OK to access files or do you need another FTP provider. Not sure how they are doing the work, but any help would be appreciated. Need some good website for urology, Just want to be prepared. Always ask the experts! Thanks.
No, she didnt but so what if she did?
She was self supporting. She didnt take anything from anyone or go on the system.
i didnt see that.
what was the report?
How do you know that she didnt get ....
the newest edition out used??? I agree with it being worthless after a while but you can get used books that are the newest editions.
She didnt say they
were paying production. Probably an hourly rate position. Wipe off the drool. they ain't no fool.
That didnt work out right! Sorry.. NM

Didnt Seem Rude
You didnt seem rude to me at all. You adressed exactly what I was looking to get more info about. Should I even invest in the training, and if so what was the best way to go? Was MT even something I should get into? Sounds like more bang than I want to get tied up in so I appreciate your reply! Thanks!!
DH now knows reality of my job, didnt at first.

Why didnt your ancestors stay?
Why didnt your ancestors stay wherever they came from? What a horrible statement. We are all descendant from another country, unless we are American Indian. I know two doctors who live here and do help in their home countries. One from South Africa, the other from Mexico. One goes back each year to hold clinics where they operate on children.
Nixon didnt declare war
Lyndon Johnson stepped up the fighting in Vietnam, we were there back in the 1960's. Pressure was put on Nixon from the courageous and so right protestors to end our participation in a wrong war a war we were in because we didnt want the South Vietnamese to become communist, which happened anyway. The protests at Kent State were peaceful except some students started throwing rocks at inexperienced guardsmen. The guardsmen were called before the protest to keep calm on campus, which is something that should never be done and was never done before. You do not turn military against student protestors. You do not use military to guard Americans, that is what police are for. Only during Martial Law can you have military take over American streets. We have a right to protest. When the students saw the guardsmen, some threw rocks. The guardsmen then shot their guns. Trust me, this is how it went. It is burned into my psyche.
Thank you. I didnt know if there were a lot of parts to assemble.
:
Didn't have to do much of that (didnt really mind that
part of the job, though). Just didn't like working 11-7, hated the fact that with being responsible for so many patients, I felt like I wasn't giving any of them very good care.
wonder why my email didnt work??
That makes me wonder, I have been getting emails lately, it should be working.
Vets were I worked didnt want to pay for MT. Had
