OUCH!!!! think I'll pass on the....nm
I hated it - but if you do go ahead with it, I have the proprietary foot pedal you'll need that I

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 :)

OUCH! Bet that hurt!!
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! 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!

When I broke my ankle, I was just grateful it wasn't the hands. Without our hands we'd be totally screwed.
I broke my right ankle slipping on ice and was lucky to have gloves on because the palm of the glove was totally torn up and my hand was okay.
Good luck and be sure to do your exercises when it is time.
Foot pedal? Going from VXP to applying for other companies. What foot pedal should I get that woul
I need one even just to test so it seems. Thanks for the input!
It'll happen. You'll find your fit.

I have two IC contracts right now. I recently went back to a job I had quit earlier in the year to work for the other company I am still working for.
The newer job has 80% ESLs. I transcribe OP notes primarily and I can fill in other work types as the opportunity arises. I am frustrated with this particular situation. After 6 months, I am making less money and working longer hours. I am past the learning curve and I should be doing better, at least in the number of hours I am spending doing the job. We have run out of work for 24 hrs at a time at least 5 or 6 times since December 1, and in November it was more than that. I have a friend who worked for this company as well and she was having similar difficulties. The only thing that we can figure is that they are shorting us line count some way, because after 6 months at it, it should be easier/faster/more money, but it is less and less every single pay period. It is not a nice thing to accuse a company of doing, but it SEEMS that way to us. I am fed up with being expected to type every single OP note that comes in 24/7 and meeting the 6 hr TAT for them on weekends, evenings, holidays, wee hours of the morning...
I took back a job I held for 2-1/2 yrs. The team leader has changed and this gal thinks that I should be on call 24/7 for whenever she has work. I might have some at 7 a.m., or perhaps not until 6 p.m. or later. I can't plan my personal life and between these two IC situations, I find that I am not eating on a daily basis, not showering on a daily basis and not sleeping more than 3 or 4 hours at a time. I have lost weight and I don't feel very well. I woke up today with a rip roaring head cold (my first in nearly 8 yrs) and it has already moved to bronchitis and I am expecting pneumonia by the weekend because I develop it very easily. I already have deep pain in my back.
Yes, I should call in sick tomorrow, but I really can't take the fallout. The job I took back I am covering for another gal who wanted vacation over the holidays and if I have to call in sick, the team leader will call me and pitch a fit about how this is my responsibility. It IS my responsibility, I did say I would do it, and I will do it, despite being quite ill. In the past, when I worked for this company, they would not allow me to call in sick for a "cold" without a doctor's note. I worked through many illnesses with them and only called in sick when I developed West Nile Fever and while I was sick for over a month, I only called for my last 12 reports one day when I could no longer see the computer screen because my head hurt.
The problem is that yes, many MTs lack work ethic. They don't take their responsibility seriously. This is not a work as you please career, not even for an IC. I can see the MTSO's point of view, I truly can. Like finding experienced, reliable and capable MTs, for the MTs who are these things, finding a company will treat you like a human being is equally difficult. I sit here, feeling lousy and like I am an utter slave labor with no consideration whatsoever. I know that my work needs to be done, but when I am this sick it is better that someone else do it for the sake of the work, for accuracy and for speed of getting it out. I know that I am needed, but to be the MT these companies need me to be, I also need to look after my own health.
I will also mention that when I have asked for vacation, I have been approved for the time, but the MTSO queues up my work and calls me then I am not on the system getting it done. I have told them I had been approved for time off, but the MTSO didn't schedule anyone to cover for me and I am told to get on work, vacation or no, if I want to keep my job.
Thus, I work 24/7/365 and have for years. I work sick, I work when I am in pain (I have an AI disorder), I work exhausted from staying up all night covering for others who are allowed to call in sick and have vacations when I can't have either. I work having no health insurance and not being able to afford the $125 a month to buy some with a high copay so I can see a doctor. I work without breaks for breakfast, lunch or dinner and I sometimes come close to having an accident because if I leave my desk to go to the little girls' room I get nasty calls about where I am at and what I am doing.
Many MTs are mistreated, and I am one of them.
Today I had pickle impaction (fecal impaction)...ouch!..nm

Where do you buy foot pedals for your transcription. Who has the best foot pedals for sale.

Can anyone tell me what foot
I have two and would rather not have to buy another if I can avoid it. TIA
I did it too, and now can't use my right foot
You really have to put your foot down.
I have had this problem in the past and just told people, including my kids, I get paid to type, not to talk. Unless there's a large emergency - a lot of blood, the house on fire, etc. - DO NOT BOTHER ME. For all intents and purposes, I am not home. It takes a while, but eventually they get it. Have a virtual wall around your office and tell them it is off limits. Good luck.
What is the best foot pedal?
What is the best foot pedal to have? Which one is the easiest to set up and use and can be used with different files? I already bought one but can not get it set up to be able to use. Bought from Expresscribe to use with their program and have had no help. Brought in a computer guy. No help. So I am stuck with this pedal and can't use it. I am now looking to buy another one. Any recommendations?
FOOT PEDAL
It is a USB port pedal. It wasn't so much as they would not help me, I got aggravated waiting 2-3 days in between e-mails and trying things that did not work. It has something to do with no driver. So now I am looking for a universal foot pedal to make it easier for me to find a secondary account.
One foot in front of the the other sm.
Oh honey please run don't walk, right out that door. This man you live with is only in your life to beat you down with discouragement and lies. Please do not allow this to continue. You were created by one who counted the hairs on your head, is the God of the universe but he knows you by name. He did not make you for destruction but for good. Please take your children away from a person who would put them down, call them names and does not care one bit about their well being. Begin to look at yourself for the wonderful, divinely created queen that you are, you have purpose and potential and this man is only there to keep you from seeing it. The day you walk out the door and shut it a ton of weight is going to fall off your shoulders as you will begin to realize that he does not love you, he does not love anyone but himself. You have to show your kids that you love them too much to let anybody (even their own father) treat them as less than great. You are a woman and deserve to be cherished, protected and provided for, anything less is not acceptable. Please go and as you do please know that myself and I am sure many other people out here are praying for you and lifting you up. We stand in the gap for you!! Now go girl and don't you dare look back. Go and be fabulous!!
foot pedal
I have a converter I bought from Radio Shack - I have one that converts USB to 9 pin and another one that converts 9 pin to USB
Foot pedal
I am working for a company, renting a computer and foot pedal. I discovered I could use my own computer so want to send their equipment back. Their foot pedal is a 15 pin pedal. I have a 15 pin pedal of my own, looks identical to theirs. When I plug my foot pedal into the game port on their computer it does not work. I need to know what I need to do to my own foot pedal to make it work on the game port on my own computer. I am so technologically challenged. Does anyone know what I need to do?
Foot Pedal
If you are using express scribe then change the port option inside change the port options. If you are using game port then click on the game port options inside. Hopefully it will work.
In need of 9 pin foot pedal
If anyone has a 9-pin foot pedal for sale, let me know. Thank you!!
Foot pedals
When I was a C-phone user, I had to buy a couple replacements. It was too costly to have a repairperson repair them, and instead it was best to throw it out and buy a new one. It used to be we could open them up and clean the CONTACTS.
in-USB Foot Pedal
I am a recent graduate and looking for a job. In the meantime, I want to be sure I have the right equipment. I have a standard cassette transcriber with foot petal, but have been told that I should have something that works directly with my PC (mine may be outdated). Do I need to purchase software if I buy an IN-USB foot pedal? The equipment/software requirements are a bit confusing. Any information would be helpful. Thank you.
Foot pedal
Sorry. Don't know of any free one to download. If you haven't already, you can go to your Express Scribe screen, click on Help, then click on Foot Pedal control. It has a lot of information that might be helpful.
