One nerve left

In Reply to: AHDA and Indian Transcription - cj
"The decision to change the name of the organization from AAMT to AHDI was made by the members of the House of Delegates (HOD). These are volunteers elected by the membership..."
That was smart. You didn't pay anyone to do your dirty work for you, which must let you off some legal hook or other.
"The HOD felt it was important to broaden the name of the organization to include anyone working in healthcare documentation - as many transcriptionists are working in peripheral roles as editors, QA personnel, supervisory and management positions, educators, ..."
...Indian MTs, whose business now supports AHDI management in the manner to which we have become accustomed,...
"etc. Speaking for myself, I haven't transcribed a medical report for pay in at least 5 years, so calling me a medical Transcriptionist no longer encompasses my role. Nonetheless, I am passionate about the integrity of healthcare documentation - and I developed this passion as an MT. For me, AHDI is a better representation of where I fit in..."
...and we definitely needed to relieve ourselves of that pesky restriction to American MTs, which is why we unloaded that dinosaur...

Just hit Alt+Shift+left arrow on line 1 and it will go to the left margin. Otherwise,
you need to use a numbered list style to do it every time. Each version is different, but you may already have a numbered list style in yours that stays at the left margin. Just assign a keyboard shortcut to that style.
the nerve!
How dare you make a TV show about my life without offering to pay me?

My LAST nerve

And they have the nerve to air those ads about

Obviously I am hitting a nerve somewhere
that you are taking offense to my posts. So which one is it, are you fat, ugly, have an acne problem or all of the above?
Struck a nerve, huh?
I just can't imagine any worthwhile MT being offended by what I said. The reason they wouldn't be offended is because they are the ones picking up the slack for these clowns! The losers I referred to are the main reason Indians are getting work from the US! If every American MT went to work every day and delivered top-notch documents, the Indians wouldn't be making a dime off transcription.
FYI, I don't hire Indians as I spend too much time each day fixing errors made by American MTs. Also, if you are working somewhere that you cannot respond to QA and show them where you documented what you transcribed, then I'd say you need to get out because it's a no-win situation and you are at their mercy.
Listen to the nerve of this one!
over and when I stood at the door, not letting her in, she pushed her way in anyway. I told her I was working and she said,"That's okay I will just sit in the chair beside you AND NOT TALK!" Oh, and she did...but her baby didn't, he cried and screamed until he fell asleep and she sat there and looked at me for over an hour. Let me tell you, that will never happen again. Learned my lesson then and there!
People have a lot of nerve.
I am not trying to be rude, but what kind of friend pushes her way into your house just to distract you while you work? What was the point?
Do you think you have a pinched nerve?
Pinched nerves can cause a lot of problems. You may want to call your doctor today. If you had a stroke you should be checked out ASAP. Not everyone dies with a stroke. Some people have them and don't even know it. Good luck.
Hmm, seems to have struck a nerve.
aa
Wow, you really don't like me! I must have touched a nerve with you.
Do you work for the AAMT or are you a MTSO cheating your MTs or outsourcing to India? Or maybe you are one of those holier-than-thou QA people I've railed against? You know, the ones that never make mistakes and stroke their egos by finding mistakes in everything from medical reports to generic posts on a casual message board?
As for my dismally failing blog - um it's just a blog, my own personal soapbox. Nothing more, nothing less. Oh and thanks for reading it.
i've been through that too...ppl have nerve,
i think after 3 years of working from home i have finally taught my mom and my sister to quit calling and asking me to run here and there for them, ....took a while, didnt want to hurt their feelings...but its like...they cant do it becuz they are working...HELLO!!!!!!!!!!
eScription on last nerve
Posted over the weekend and got a response but just wondering, anyone else working on escription that the program is really, really slow, like jerky in the audio and then jerky for you to transcribe if doing straight typing? Had new ram put on and have fast access so really don’t know what else I can do, cleaned up the computer as far as defraging it. Any other ideas?
Some peeps have nerve
Well my goodness...SIMON...how interesting that name should be used for such a rude post...wonder if its a real name or does he wish he were SIMON off of that tele show...you guys know which one I am referring too, or maybe HE is is love with the other Simon...oh who knows...anyway...to point out your ignorance Simon, just because someone does not know the next steps to take in regards to opening a business or whatever the case may be and that person ask questions of others who may know, well that only educates them more. There is never a "DUMB" question. We learn by asking questions by talking and listening to others. You Simon have pointed out the true reality that there are those who assume or dont ask questions or make rude comments to cover up their own lack of intelligence. And you Simon, well you just put your ownself in that category.
well it takes a lot of nerve to get sm
on this board and tell American MTs how things are and how to do things when you can't speak the language or communicate well. You are suppose to be an MT but you can't speak the language? Well I doubt that the documents you put out are very good either! Sorry but this is the reason American MTs don't have MT jobs so you need to stick to your country and your MTs and stay out of giving advice here. IMHO.......sorry I need to spell that out, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION!
you are young and dumb. The nerve of you to say
why have children if you are going to put them in daycare. When I was going to graduate school and working I became pregnant. I didn't expect my husband to quit his job and I sure enough was going to stop graduate school my six months. My triplets went to daycare and was fine.
I agree-the nerve of some people
i bet you spell the peroneal nerve as
=
Must be a grain of truth in there somewhere to have hit a nerve.
!
You'd like to hit a nerve, I'd like to stick to facts
My comments weren't made to bicker back and forth with someone who wants to have a personal war and claim touche' afterwards. They were made of my observations of what I saw with smooth transcription flow. I have no control of your choice to twist them. You know nothing of me, only that you did not like my observations. Call it whatever you will.
The company would have the nerve to appeal
This is ludicrous to say the least. Many MTs are single earners in their homes. I think to do such a thing should be broadcast across the nation. If this is happening, please let us know which companies are doing it.
whatever dolfan. touched a nerve apparently.
don't let the truth ruin a perfectly good Sunday. that is if you actually can absorb the truth of my posts which are probably perfectly clear if one is not so angry they can't see straight like you are at this point. go back to dreamland my friend and stay where it's all comfy and cozy and no one disputes your FINAL WORD!!!!(hopefully)
PS: We all state opinions here and not all of us are "liars" or "trolls" because they don't agree with your opinion. Meditate on that.
have any horseback riders here lost their nerve
after being hurt and got it back again? i have no problem getting on as long as all goes well, but when my horse spooks or something i feel so danged unnerved, which is totally new to me after all these years. does it just take time or should i hang it up?
I think you'll be OK but I totally lost my nerve sm
I switched to riding bicycles LOL (probably way more dangerous since I ride on the road)
yep - maybe your very nice post struck nerve?.
Your question/post was very nice and gentle I thought - and the other poster's response was totally out of whack - perhaps you struck a nerve! *LOL*
Have a GREAT WEEKEND!!! Ignore the trolls....they are all over the web, as you well know. 
Bursitis or nerve impingement. Have it checked out.

I got common plantar nerve neuroma
in my third toe. It bends towards the 2nd toe and if you try to spread the toes, it curves unnaturally and does not bend too well. I used foam spacers for it and it did straighten out somewhat and go partially back into the correct position.
I also get swelling in both ankles and legs plus tingling and numbness sometimes. I have to keep getting up and moving around a bit for that to go away.
Being out of touch is a hazard of our job, but one reason you touched a nerve SM
that you should be aware of so you won't be surprised in future is that "ESL" is also code for bigotry, with in some sad cases the fussing over the genuine problems with achieving an accurate transcription just windowdressing for the real complaint.
Personally, I find the world and its people a fascinating place and love the way the Web has brought it to me in my little rural Georgia office, including the very wide range of attitudes here.
When your neck muscles are strained, it traps the occipital nerve.
I am with you on the "I can't get rid of it, and it kills me." Do some research on peripheral stimulators. They implant them in the occipital region. They stimulate the area with electricity that overrides the pain with a pleasant paresthesia. Plain English: It is like having a G-spot in your head; it feels so good. Another theory is that it changes the ions in the cells. As posted, I am anxiously awaiting mine to be reimplanted. You control the stimulator with a device to stimulate the strength and pulse width needed to cover the pain. It is fabulous!!!!!! Beats pain pills, which I am so sick of now.
Yup, and all those happy rabbits and cats think WE'RE gonna feed them. The nerve!
And no matter what we say, they'll just keep on having baby after baby, just like animals!  The unfairness of it all! What will become of us all?
A blank is what I would put. Root (nerve root) is all that comes to mind.

Not right now as seems everyone has left
due to the line counting rip off issue. Otherwise do run out of work tons of times.
That why you left?
x
you left out one
>>>How darn hard it is to quit. I have tried everything. Patches, gum, Wellbutrin, Zyban, cold turkey, etc.
You had the dream, but you didn't have the drive. You have to want it badly enough to stick with it NO MATTER WHAT.
I'm talking from personal experience as a former 2-1/2 pack per day smoker.
Last cigarette was May 6th, 1992. Quit cold turkey.
Did you get your pay when you left?nm
zz
I should have said "I left him and TOOK the
baby, the dog, the IBM and the dictaphone! Eek! Sounds like I left them WITH him! No way! 
What - that you left 24 and QA was able to get 16 of them? LOL
x
I left because of it
Unprofessional emails and phone calls.
Nope. I ain't takin' it. I respect myself more than that. It was the attitude of everyone in the company I came in contact with. Unbelievable.
Getting out of MT, I have left MT
because of the reasons stated below. Because I was a good ER MT, I received all the crappy dictators, accounts, you name it. Even told the MTSO that I was getting burned out with all of the crap, but six months later, I came to the conclusion that getting an ulcer was not what I wanted for my dedication. Tried four or five different companies, and as a poster said below, they lied about everything (accounts, lines, ease of use of program/software, amount of work, etc.) So I'm gone. Kind of miss the medical transcription work I did but do NOT miss the BS that comes with it. They used me until I couldn't bear it anymore.
Yes....I just left my MT job ....
I relate with these comments 100%. I worked for a great service with a great owner for the last 10+ years. First started out in 1989 making great money ( and on a typewriter) with decent turn-around-time and simple common-sense formats. Over the years, the Turn Around Time has decreased, the formats have become a maze of ever-changing rules, and as others have stated...no money! I might as well get a job that is less wear and tear on the body and mind. "Chained to the computer" described the job well. I resigned a few weeks ago what had become a sweat-shop job. Seems like instead of the computer making the job better, it has become worse. Someone mentioned they heard it said MTs were making too much money. That is eerie because I remember hearing that comment 15 years ago and I tossed it off as sarcasm. Now I wonder. This job is nothing like it used to be. So, as stated I QUIT!
There was something you left out in
your post. What about the possibility that this person makes good money because they just guess and "fill in the blanks"? Or maybe they leave a lot of blanks so that they can do more work?
I have come across this before. Not all MTs who make good money are getting good money because they are good at their jobs. Some pad their lines, and some just make up stuff to fill in the blanks. To all of those GOOD MTs out there who struggle to make the money they once used to make, don't let people put you down as unworthy because they think they are better than you.
I left my job too
After 7 years and I should have left sooner. Their VR and platform were awful (Spheris) I was making half of what I used to. I have not gotten away from VR but I have 2 jobs where at least I can be more productive. I kept waiting for things to improve -I thought if I just worked on it it would happen- now I feel a lot of the stress is gone.
Thanks, what was left of my sanity has been...
restored! 
I'm beginning to wonder if that's all there is left is
crap dictation. Most of us say we're doing the crappy dictation and ESLs. So the good stuff is really going overseas or to VR? Or are there people here who get the good stuff all the time, which is why they make good money and we don't?
If you are just looking to align left or...
To align (left, right, or justified) you can either set the page up before you start typing by going to Format, then Paragraph, Indents and Spacing. You will see a General section that says alignment. This is where you choose how you want it set up. If you want to do this after you are finished typing, highlight all text that you want to format. Right click. The drop down box will give you the option of Paragraph. Choose Paragraph. This will bring up that same box that shows Indents and Spacing. Go to the General section where you see alignment and then choose which option you want (left, right, justified). This will then apply it to the text you have highlighted. Hope this helps.
no hair left
i hate to tell you but it doesn't get any better. been with them for over 3 years -- i still have my hair, but have lost my sanity!!
I've left MT too
Good for you!
I just left China
Actually, I just left China. Poor old souls. Not many pretty women in China.
I needed to get home to the states to see all the beautiful women. I felt like I was intoxicated when I came through the door at Medquist and saw all my beautiful gals.
If acct is on ASR, what is left for MTs
is the worst of the dictators that have always and will always be a problem. The best speakers are put on ASR to the machine can under stand it. They've got you. It is no faster that using expansions. There is no production increase, so there should be no decrease in MT/ME pay. THAT WAS THE DEAL! I will go back to cut and paste an old post that says what happens.
Think of them as right and left arrows.
Think of them as arrows on a number line.
<__5__6__7__8__>
If the arrow is pointing right, it's greater than. If the arrow is pointing left, it's less than. Think L (left) for Less than.
The left Menu....
The left Menu is actually a javascript for fast loading of pages. Your browser's scripting is disabled.
Go to "Tools -> Internet Options..." from the main menu of Internet Explorer.
Change to the "Security" tab
Select "Custom Level".
Make sure "Enable" is selected under "Active scripting"
Restart the browser.
If above doesn't work, run some Spyware or Anti-virus, because most of the viruses and Trojans stops the javascript in first place.
