I rarely post on forums, but will share with you a similar experience I had about 10 years ago. A facility I worked for had a physician on staff who routinely performed third trimester abortions. I found myself sobbing one day as I was transcribing the words "heavy crushing fetal forceps." I went straight to my supervisor and told her I would never do his work (or similar) again.

this is a loaded ? sm
IMO, MedQuist is an excellent choice! And I know I'm gonna get flamed, but I don't care! I've been with MQ for over four years now and have been EXTREMELY happy with every aspect of my job. I'm always paid on time, never run out of work, have a nice coordinator, workflow is very helpful and friendly, and tech support is good, too! I have nothing to complain about and would highly recommend you give them a try.
And NO, I am not management, though wish I were! 
Wow. That truly seems like a loaded question to me.
I think it is fair business practice to determine what you pay your employees dependent on what your overhead and expenses are first of all, and secondly what your target profit values are.
I make just under 11 cpl at 2 different nationals, including my incentive bonuses. It is very good work and I am happy with that pay.
That is my experience though. I'm absolutely sure you will hear songs of a different tune from others.
Re: loaded question
I understand what you're saying, but keep in mind your initials are only related to the clerical aspect of the report, not the clinical one. No one looks at a report and connects the MT with the procedure. With that being said, I think you should do your job, which is to transcribe the reports, unless they are coming into your queue so often that it's genuinely affecting you emotionally. If that's the case, perhaps you need to change accounts, rather than cherry pick.
My client loaded my templates into their EMR and are now doing it themselves
I feel for you. My clients had me turn over all my templates/macros and loaded them into their system and are doing it themselves. This was after dishing out thousands and thousands of dollars in equipment and training additional staff. I was making $7,000 a month and now it is $65 a month if I am lucky.

I have a question that I realize could be pretty loaded.
I in no way want to spark a debate and I won't engage in one. I just have a moral situation and I ask that only those who have had similar experiences respond. As stated, no need for a debate. I am adamantly opposed to abortion for any reason. I don't condemn those who do or have had them, but I oppose abortion. I work for a national and just recently had a few abortion procedures to transcribe. I felt awful doing it. I was really torn between wanting to cherry pick past those (which I feel would be perfectly acceptable to do while letting a supervisor know why), but didn't. I just feel like a real hypocrite that my initials are now attached to an abortion procedure that I do not support. I just wondered if anyone ever found themselves in this situation and what, if anything, did you do about it. Now, this is about abortion only. I'm sure many of you could jump in and say you're against gastric bypass but you still transcribe those, etc. I respect others' views. This happens to be strictly about this situation and in an effort to avoid ugliness by way of a debate, I respectfully request that you only respond if you have dealt with this situation specifically. Thank you and God bless!
I bought a Vista-loaded system and I have tried to
work now for several companies but Vista is incompatible with their platforms.
I HATE IT.
I loaded my old PRD files into Instant Text
I still had PRD on my old Windows 98 computer and the Instant Text folks told me how to save my files and upload them into Instant Text when I changed over to a new computer. I was very happy about that. It corrupted a few of them but after editing them they worked fine.
Hands down, PRD was the best. Shame they didn't keep it updated as Windows changed. It was set up to work in word patterns, making it easier to remember abbreviation names. I've set up IT the same when making new additions.

MediFast is just like SlimFast - can't take either as they are loaded with Iodine and I am allerg
However, I have seen results from both. It is hard to keep the weight off or maintain it once you start eating food again.
I worked for a physician who specialized in the MediFast program. The initial results were good, but the patients had a very hard time maintaining it and gained some back.
I tried it. No dice here. It looked like it loaded but the sound would cut in and out. Too frustrati
that works with this program. I mean I was told by the electronics people that the 9-pin was being obsolete so why cant we get into the right decade.
Explain how you used the jump drive, I did that but loaded it on the computer but...
somehow my jump drive got messed up. It asks me if I want to redo the drive. I don't know what happened. How do you work from the jump drive?
I have actually loaded it from the testing the company sent and have literally gone in and deleted i
the pedal just works terribly. I will wait until the tech guy calls me today and see if he can figure it out. If not, well then I am not sure what I can do.
