Reverse poll: What are the 2 things your DH loves about YOU? see msg

After reading the poll a few threads down, last night I asked my hubby what were the two things he loved about ME the most.  Without hesitation he said:  "your encouragement" (towards him) "and your intelligence."  (This is coming from a learned man himself.  That was truly uplifting.)

Still Reverse Poll: What are the 2 things you hate about your DH?
//
You are me in reverse (sm)
I tend to ignore life forms, smile at no one, and conversation? What the heck is that???


Did what you did, but in reverse..
Mrs. Chippy,
I did the opposite of what you are doing. OPS were always my favorite and I did them for years. I quit the company I had been with for years and now am working on clinic notes for a different service, which I find I'm enjoying so far. I always thought I wouldn't like clinic notes. Of course, it's only been three days, so I might have a change of heart after I do 100 of them.

OPs are hard to learn, but once you get the terminology and phrasing down, it's good line count because they usually speak fast and don't sit there and drone on and on talking a word a minute.

Just type a first draft all the way through,leave blanks, then go back and fill them in as best as possible. Leave the rest to QA. Even after doing OPs for years, there was hardly a day I didn't have a blank.

I think I did OPs too long and that's why I finally needed a break. I was changed to ER's when I started slowing down on OPs but I just couldn't stand them. Maybe it was the dictators, but I just couldn't stay awake doing ER's, although it was really good line count. It was so frustrating to do a 3 or 4 page ER report on someone who had a cut on their finger or other tiny thing. Then add that to a dictator with a monotone voice, and I'm falling out of my chair in a narcoleptic fit.

Good luck with the OPs!

ooh lucky you - I get the reverse - 80% reg;

Because think of the reverse, when you worked in the office...
did you ever see the director of med rec ask doctors to dictate their old stuff, so there would be enough work for MTs? when we were low on work in the hospital,a deficiency list would be sent out, and then boom a bunch of dictation...

hospitals are doing anything and everything they can to cut costs, even as mentioned above, hiring ICs on the side. health care is purely a business now, and I would bet not a day goes by every hospital in America asks the question, how can we cut back on the cost of dictation?

if that were not true, you would not have the HUGE push for the technology and the HUGE push for outsourcing, overseas or not.

think about this, also. we are only working at home for these companies, because hospitals decided it would be cheaper than paying health benefits for full-time MTs, office space, etc etc.

I do not put anything past people who are 100% money-driven these days.

you do make a great point, though, about the billing and DRGs, etc., but I still think they are told to 'cool-it' whenever they can...
There is no such thing as REVERSE discrimination.
Discrimination is discrimination regardless of which race /person is practicing it...


Reverse tennis elbow? sm
After 10 years of transcribing, just the last couple of months I am having inflammation and tenderness on the inside of my left elbow.  Not on the right, just the left.  Ergonomics?  Might be.  I have tried putting a folded up towel on the arm of my chair, raising my elbow, and that helps a little.  Anyone else every had this?
Try doing a functional resume instead of a reverse chronological one.
Focus on your strengths instead of on your former employers. It's your job skills that are important, not how many MTSOs or nationals couldn't keep you busy enough.

* Ten years of multispecialty experience.
* Such and such software skills.
* These reports and those specialties.
* Motivated self-starter, blah blah blah.


Here's a nonMT example of a functional resume.

I would reverse the media player back
and see if that corrects the problem. If so, you might either decide you don't need the upgrade or contact Windows about a fix...

Make sure your plug is all the way in - sometimes it looks like it is but isn't seated.

Just do a restore to the day before you did the upgrade - or if you are uncomfortable with this uninstall the software and test your headphones...

just a thought.
Unfortunately, NO. Didn't help me. It made me depressed. Reverse effect. nm

Working in Word, and suddenly my screen splits into two pages, and I can't reverse it. HELP!
Does anyone know what I've done and what I can do to get it back to just one window? It is Word 2003 on a XP platform, if that helps any. Thanks.

He loves that I
am always ready to go at a moments notice and he doesn't have to wait for me.

He also loves that I am very smart. He jokes and calls me *the smart one in the relationship* because I seem to know a little bit about everything.
She loves this man.
Just because they are having a disagreement does not mean she would be better off without him.  The parents maybe, but I doubt her DH feels like he would be better off without his parents, even if it is true.  This is an issue that can definitely be worked out. 
Loves him?
I feel for HIM that he passed at such an early age. Hopefully he is on to bigger and better things . . . but when he was about 15, she gets drunk, drools all over him, and calls him 'Schmoopie' on national television and that is love??? She is nothing more than a gold digging skank, and as far as I've seen loves herself more than anyone or anything else.


To the one who LOVES VSR
Were you a very slow typist? All I know is that I have been doing this for about 7 years and had gotten to the point where I could pretty much type along with the dictator and when done did not really have to make corrections or edit once I transcribed the report the first time. It was pretty much perfect without any corrections to be made and I was getting paid double the amount. Now I am spending the same amount of time and getting paid half less. I don't see how this could benefit anybody or why anybody would LOVE this unless they were a very slow typist to begin with!
I must be one of the only ones who loves it
It's probably because I was medical secretary/ transcriptionist/paralegal for over 20 years before I became an MT. I recently started back working part time as a LT. It is very hard and they can definitely run hundreds of pages as the above poster said, but the TAT is usually a week or more. The work I'm transcribing now needs to be done in 2 weeks. There is a website that you should look at that has general as well as legal jobs. It's www.tiptopwebsite.com/cslusher. Hope this helps.
Thanks! My whole family loves this and now

No way! He loves the wacky tabacky.
Don't you remember when he and Linda were arrested in Japan for brining marijuana into the country?  It was a big scandal.
Awwww. She just loves you and wants some attention. sm
I have one cat in particular who always hits the keys.  When I see her coming, I have to roll my keyboard drawer back under the desk or my transcription will look like this or get signed off prematurely.  zzzz zzzz zzzz zzz zzz zzzzz zzz zzzx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx
My 8yo loves ACDC - nothing wrong with it. Better

Who loves working weekends?

I DON'T!!!!!


Thanx Romey ... I loves me some Dr. House! - nm

Only use Purina - my puppy loves it! nm

He tells me he loves me all the time, and not

only does he tell me, he shows me.  He isn't romantic at all, but he does little things all the time that shows he is thinking of me.


He likes to share new experiences with me, he enjoys going to craft shows with.  He isn't particularly fond of working in the yard, but he knows how much I enjoy it and he spends hours working in the yard, even when I'm not working with him. 


He cooks and helps around the house (usually without grumbling).  I could serve him burnt toast for supper and he would thank me for a good meal.


He overlooks my faults.


 


He loves me despite my faults and I know I can trust him.
:)
#1 He loves that I am his best friend and that I don't try to be his momma. #2 - The sex! ;)

i thought i was only one who loves Rebecca
my favorite part in the movie is when he kisses his finger and put it on her forehead and she just lets out a sigh. You forgot The Bad Seed. Another excellent oldie:)
My cat loves to sit on the window sill too...
I make sure and keep the blinds up some during the day so she can do so. I think she likes sunbathing. My other cat could care less. He's getting older though. He is definitely past the age of wanting to "hunt" anymore. The youngest still trys to get out sometimes, but is generally pretty happy sitting at the window (this was a wild cat rescued out of the woods too BTW). The older one we let in the backyard with us sometimes. He just sits there and walks around some, but that's it. None are allowed outside by themselves though, especially since we just moved and they could run off and get lost easliy.

I've had inside and outside cats my whole life. It is a personal decision and just depends on the circumstances I think.

I'm an old-timer who loves PRD also and will share with you what little I know

PRD is DOS based and must run in DOS-based WP program.... I have a link that explains how to load WP DOS if you are interested.  Looks pretty complicated to me... I gave up as realized I was eventually going to have to move to Windows.  Bought InstantText which allows you to add PRD glossaries - but I hate it!!

Misery sure loves company...
I'd bet my last dollar (that I made transcribing today) that any other job has the same hang-ups!  Tired of the same old thing, low pay...  It is the economy.  Everything is going up, we're not the only ones suffering!  Everyone is!  When I get those types of feelings I often think of the women/men with spouses fighting the war!  Now, that's something to groan about!  Oh, I'm soooo bored (barf)!  Life is what ya' make it...  for sure...  Good luck in your endeavors whatever it may be... 
That's why AHDI just LOVES them Indians!
.
Bad things? what bad things? people's being petty and small?
x
Yep, I agree. Frank loves us and only wants the very best for our lips.
:
There's the difference, right there. I work for an MTSO who LOVES sm

for us to make money because then SHE makes money. I have been on the same accounts for five years.


I can't understand why people get switched around like they do in other places (I've worked for EDiX and another small MTSO and they switched people like mad).


 


Chicken Cutlets!!!!!!!!!!!! My family loves them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SM
Pound the breasts out flat with a mallet and coat in egg and milk; then dredge them in Progresso Italian breadcrumbs and crushed saltine crackers mixed with Romano Cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.  Flash fry them in hot peanut oil and serve them hot with tortellinis and pesto sauce and a nice fresh salad. 
Yup - 80 lb golden retriever loves to lay right at my feet. sm
She also likes to lay right at my chair, so when I roll it, I am always on her tail or something. She drives me crazy too. She has to be everywhere I am. Love her to death tho! Don't want to be without her.

My dog loves his brown rice and chicken!
He turns his nose up at most dog foods.  Found out he was actually eating the cat food.  For some reason the cats stopped attacking him when he got near their food.  A few weeks after I put the cat food up on a bench where he can't reach it, he had lost 5 lbs.  He'll eat the dog food now, but he loves his special rice and chicken once in a while.
which your 6yo child can spell (& who loves to hit egdy for you

misery loves company, and we're all with you!
I would be downhearted too. But if this is the company's norm, you might decide to cut your losses early. It may have been a rough day for the company in some way, but i would certainly expect more and better communication in the immediate future. Sure am curious who this outfit is.
as my kids would say, make like a duck, and let it roll off your back!
Sorry meant discrimination and reverse-discrimination. My typing got ahead of my brain! nm
sorry for the typo but my heart was in the right place. :)
My mom has used MetroGel and also loves Bare Minerals makeup-nm
//
Luxury? I can't imagine that! LOL As a woman who LOVES to try different colors
with the changing of the seasons, I know that wouldn't be for me at all! I would hate it after only a couple of weeks or so...
My mom loves Steely Dan and Motown..I love Sam Cooke.

I grew up listening to that type of music.  Steely Dan reminds me of my mom cleaning the house.  She always had it playing.  I love Motown myself.  My favorite is Sam Cooke. 


 


Gracious, I guess misery loves company because
I'm just glad it's not just me. Today has been the WEIRDEST day.
I asked my daughter, a 5th grader, and she LOVES the hamburger idea. nm
nm
A friend of mine loves her Kirby, but it is a little pricy at $1200.
nm
My son loves Monster drinks before football/basketball practice. I think they are nasty.
I don't drink coffee, but I have to have my Coca Cola first thing in the morning and one more halfway through day.  So I guess I am a little dependent on caffeine!
POLL
Ok, we know what we are unhappy about in this business.   LET'S TAKE A POLL.  In 4 lines or less, what would be your ideal Transcriptionist job?   No flames please. Just list the important factors that would make you want to go to bat for a company.  Include pay plan also.   Thanks. 
re:poll

Consistent, steady amount of work on the same one or two accounts, you know, the ones you know so well you can do them in your sleep?


Pay that makes you feel like getting up and hitting the keys each day.


For at home MT's, at least some feedback from office ie: what's going on, who's new/old etc, instead of calling in, asking for someone only to find out they jumped ship....ooops, I've run over my line allotment


Poll
1. To be treated with RESPECT and shown appreciation.

2. To work 1 account with less than 500 ESL doctors in order to have some consistency and become familiar with your doctors and then maybe be able to achieve your line count.

3. To be paid for your actual lines typed and not what they think you should be paid for.

4. To be informed of what is going on in the company by your supervisor or other higher up and not have to come to this board for information.
