Probably just like accounts in Miami Florida. Wouldn't you think? Cuban, Mexican, you name it.

Spanish - Mexican version
Cubans, no problem, Mexicans, no way. I love Indians and Asians.
Mexican casserole with tortillas and chips & salsa
but thanksgiving dinner has got to be my next favorite for sure!
From one cuban to another
I'm not from Miami, but have lots of family there, and I have to agree with you, especially since everytime I visit, there are more more "non-cuban" stores, people, restaurants, etc. I hate that just cause people hear spanish spoken they just assume its a cuban just cause you're Miami.
Cuban
for me. I live in Texas so Hispanics are pretty easy
Chips and salsa and queso from a REAL Mexican restaurant!
Cuban offer
Yeah, but W isn't alone as a world-leader in surrounding himself with Secretarys and admins who are mostly dicks. Actually, I'm surprised Fidel made the offer-unless he's got all the Dr.'s families locked away for "return-receipt" purposes
Cuban Missiles me too!
Your post struck a note so deep inside me. I was in Catholic school in the early 60s and we used to go under the desks for drills too. One day they made us all, the whole school go in the hall and pray the rosary and I thought we were dying that day. I was not really afraid believe it or not.
Ever since that day I've been ready to die. I felt just like you, not wanting to plan for the future because it might not come. Now in my 50s I still have a problem looking to the future. College seemed a waste. I never thought I'd be this old!!!! I wonder how many of us are out there with this attitude. They really did us in back then, didn't they?

I like CSI Miami better than any
He always gets his guy and so cool about doing it! He definitely has a way about him! 
I remember the Cuban Missle Crisis, too. - sm
I was about 10. Lots of my friends' parents had build bomb-shelters in their backyards. We didn't have one, but my parents naiively believed that if we were attacked, that we (all 7 of us!) could survive by living in the center hallway of our house. (Guess they didn't see the movies they showed us at school of buildings being vaporized...) I remember thinking I'd rather be a crispy-critter from the A-bomb, than have to live for several weeks or months with my entire family in a hallway! So I was kind've glad we didn't have a bomb-shelter.
So the Big Plan for the family was if we were bombed, I was supposed to walk home from school (getting a nice healthy dose of radiation?), and then we'd all live in our hallway. MY plan, however, was to NOT go home, but instead to just run off and hide in the orange grove nearby, since I figured we were all gonna die anyway, and that way I didn't have to do it with my parents bugging me.... ;D
But having grown up with several-times-weekly 'drop-drills' (getting under our desk was supposed to protect us?) and the constant threat of annihilation, I think ever since then I've had a hard time thinking very far in the future. When I was then I figured I'd never see 15. Was surprised when I made it. 20 was a REAL surprise... how could humanity possibly have survived for 10 long years? And 30, and 40, and so on. Never thought I'd even be an adult, let alone a middle-aged one! So things like going to college (Why? Seemed like a waste of time and money if we were all gonna be wiped out in a few years, anyway), retirement savings, or even a good job, just never made sense to me. So my purpose in life became one of having as much FUN as I could possibly have, 'cause ya just never knew.
Talk about fatalistic... every day when my best friend & I walked to school, when we each parted for our respective classrooms, she'd say, 'If we don't get blow up today, do you wanna play after school?' 'Sure', I'd answer.
Anyway, nowadays when that possibility rears its head as places like Korea, India, Iraq, etc. develop nuclear capabilities, at least I've gotten used to the idea of pretty much living one day at a time.
Miami's job ads since 1980 have said
and most of us have no problems whatsoever -
AND if they won't assimilate, which many will not - I see that but it still doesn't bother me...all that much - WOULD IT KILL ANY ONE OF YOU TO LEARN A FEW WORDS IN ANOTHER TONGUE??!?? Language can be soooo fun.....You're all MTs, how do you NOT enjoy language AND if you DO enjoy language - how do you NOT enjoy MANY languages - learning about them, origins of words, MOST WORDS come from the Greek, Latin, French, German......
USA English is a made-up language that came from proper (King's) English and is why it is soooo difficult for most foreigners to LEARN it...yes, our grandparents did learn it, some of our parents even.....but by no means is it PROPER ENGLISH in my mind....
Just ask George Carlin *lol*
and this is just my own opinion so no flames please....not looking to start a war here....
oooh Diddles - come to Miami! That would..
Iranian, Cuban,England,Faster than lightening Americans sm
They're all self-explanatory. The English (from England) speak this way. "This young chap was involved in a fisticuff a fortnight ago full stop." You can't really change too much, but what it means is this young man was involved in a fight (or altercation) two weeks ago (period). Jeez! Full stop means period, it gets on your nerves after two pages of it! Type it like he dictates it and add the period after every "full stop." Period.
Miami Children's Hospital dictator
I remember when my child was 8 years old (now 25) she had to see a pediatric GI MD at Miami Children's Hospital. When he was done with her, he picked up a phone and dictated a huge report and I was standing there next to him (and I was an MT back then too) and he dictated so fast, I understood nothing of what he said. I then asked him how do the MTs that do his work comprehend exactly what he just said and he said that they use a format for him. I'm telling you, not one word was comprehensible. He's a terrific MD but THE WORST dictator I've ever heard.
just thought I'd share that *lol*
Ah, Horacio on CSI Miami, whatever his real name is. Just something about that harda** attitude!
Guess I am giving away my age!
I love Dog -- Thought I would hate it, but really like it, same goes for that new show Miami Ink, -
don't know which channel --
Dr. Smith in Miami would be easy to find; it's Dr. Rodriguez

It wouldn't load with my Office. Somehow it wouldn't "read" my 2003 Basic, although sm
technical couldn't find anything wrong with my software. They really tried hard. I see so many people that like Escription, I'm sorry not to be able to use it. Hopefully I can get Office Pro on my next machine, and maybe use it then. I could upgrade, but I'm still not sure it would work.
How about zillions of accounts. MQ has these accounts so overloaded even the new hires dont have any
work. I would love to read some of these reports and then they expect perfect QA and no blanks. Did they lose their minds completely.
Wouldn't that mean that you simply wouldn't have to print out everything?
The accounts are old and she keeps her accounts TRUSTING she hired the right MTs
who if in doubt will ask questions regarding reports. No one can find all mistakes in all reports and that is human to have a report with perhaps a typo. You think anyone reads through all the reports of a national company before they get to the hospital? Not a chance. Some random QA is supposed to correct all mistakes? Not hardly. Doctors/dictators make mistakes too. We all do. So do QA people. So the thing is this person hires good people who are trustworthy, the hospital likes the way she does their account and life goes on quite nicely w/o hovering editors/QA people. BTW, who QAs the QA people on your accounts. Ever wonder?
Florida
Tampa General Hospital took somewhere around 60 patients this weekend, Pasco county has opened homes and a woman who runs a homeless shelter in Spring Hill has made 2 trips to NO to bring back people, all of whom have eventually been placed in homes. Not to change the subject but I have seen a lot of complaints on the board in the past about Wal Mart - I just read in the paper some of the things they have done for the victims - a 20 million dollar cash donation, they had 45 truckloads of food ready to disperse before Katrina even hit landfall, plus numerous other things, sending 150 internet ready computers to the shelters for the evacuees to find their lost ones.
MDI in Florida
Just changing back to radiology from oncology and I am looking into companies. MDI Florida is hiring radiology transcriptionists. Any information would be helpful. I know they have a web site but I would like to hear from the people. Do they have good benefits? How about scheduling and accounts? Do they pay or help out with the long distance phone calls? Good management?
MQ in Florida
Does anyone know what Medquist offices are still operational in Florida?
Florida
I'm not sure about most nationals but I can speak from experience about my company that I work for, I moved to Florida and my pay did not increase. One good thing about Florida is that you do not have to pay state tax, so you get that extra amount on your check every month. Housing (especially buying) has skyrocketed in Florida in the last year or so. As for the schools, I can only speak for the district I was in but I think you can go to fldoe.org and look for information on that. Sorry I couldnt help with any more. Good luck!

Also in Florida
Guess the wildfires and possible evacuations are good practice for the upcoming hurricane season! 
Why not Florida?
This was a fantasy. I personally don't have anything against Florida, but I seem to recall reading a help wanted ad for a company located in Florida which indicated that it would only hire MTs that lived in certain states, for whatever reason, good or bad. For the other three states that I mentioned, I included those because of bad experiences with companies in those states.
Should be E Florida above

Bonuses at MDI Florida?
I have read that MDI Florida gives bonuses for employees that go the extra mile. I have been there over two years and work hard but have not seen a bonus yet. Do they given them out often or at all? They forgot us for transcription week and do not so anything for birthdays so it would be nice to get something out of it all.
what part of Florida are you in
because it shouldn't really affect your work, if you have a working computer and electricity, you should be able to get work.
It's 10 p.m. and 84 degrees here in Florida.
South Florida, been there

Move to Florida?

Well I do live in Florida so it's
like a vacation for them every day. We have annual passes to every theme park around here since we are a half hour away from them all including Disney, Universal, Sea World and Busch Gardens (1-1/2 hours). For those that want to know how we afford it (since I know it will be asked), Universal has a pass where you can pay monthly. Sea world and Busch Gardens had a 2 year special at Christmas last year that I bought as a Christmas gift. I pay $9 per person per month and free parking with the passes. The Disney passes we won. We go almost every weekend to one of them. In fact, grandma is checking into one of the Disney hotels for the weekend with them so they can go to the parks and then go back to the hotel to rest.
As for the vacation, it's a cruise. It's a big wedding for my closest friend (100+ family and friends are going) and I'm the maid of honor. We discussed it with the 3 oldest before we booked it. Last time we went on a "vacation" alone was when we moved my husband's grandfather down here 8 years ago. We had to go to Tennessee for 3 days, well actually 1 day, one day driving both ways.
Not me - Gen X'er here - 34 yo, Florida

One office in Florida
Hello,
MDI (Medical Dictation, Inc.) has one office in Brooksville, Florida. Most of our MT's work at home.
We do have one account with physical therapy work, but do not need help with that at the present time.
Thanks for your post.

FLORIDA TRIP
I have bought plane tickets on the internet. You book your flight online and then you print out your tickets. It all worked out fine. Are you a AAA member? I have used them for our trip to Disney. They took care of everything for us. (FLIGHT, HOTEL, THE PARKS)
Florida Disney
Would anyone who has gone to Disney in Florida recently give me an idea of how much money it takes? My grandkids want this as a goal for saving money and I want to be as realistic as I can with them about the cost and what they need. Thanks.
about that swampland in florida
I keep an Excel sheet on my line counts typing CT, MRIs, MRAs, PETs showing what I would be making per page and/or 65 cpl. Per page is one-half of 65 cpl (50% decrease) in your pay. And that is before any font/margin changes they may make (using Courier 12).
S. Florida never got Ernesto!!! nm
