It is great to hear good news!
Good for you!! It is so nice to hear a positive post.
I do not suppose you would care to share your new company?
Glad to hear you all had a good time. :)

I am so glad to hear you talk about VR in a good light
I have a jewel of a platform and you can make a decent salary. It is not garbage and like you said, the people here complaining are ones who do not have a good system. You have to be fast in scanning and hearing. If you are a slow typist to begin with, I have no idea how this would play into a person who does really good with VR. I do not fit that category and the people I have know that did VR did not either.
Good to hear an update. See message about "the projects" :)
I got the same deal with my ex. He wouldn't leave me alone because he wanted his beloved 3 bedroom ranch house.
I gave him the house (with my teeny share of equity) and moved into a teeny apartment with my 2 kids. HUGE bedroom bathroom and living room, teeny kitchen, great neighborhood. We all bunked in the same bedroom as there was room for a double bed, single bed and a crib with enough room left over to dance and play with toys. My kids were 5 and 2. We loved that place and it's probably because we finally had some peace and some fun.
My ex did the same thing. He accused me of moving my kids to the "projects" because I wasn't good enough to give them a nice home like the one he had. He still has that house and he lives in it alone and has for nearly 20 years. The last girflriend lasted 6 years and finally gave up on him.
He gave up on his kids almost 10 years ago and they gave up on him the day we moved into the "projects."
Best move I ever made. Happily married now for 13 years with 2 more kids that are considered my older kids' brother and sister, though their donor dad always insisted on calling them "half". "He's not your brother, he's your half-brother."
Idiot
Be strong, hang in there and don't give in. 
P.S. I wasn't looking for another man, I just got lucky I guess. He does forget to take the trash out sometimes though. 
I hear mine suck hard candy all day. LOL sm
He's also done a few of those breathier burps. Yuck You'd think with his ability to edit over the dictation, he'd want to get rid of them, or at least say excuse me. LOL
I love to hear such news! :) sm
It always makes me happy to hear when someone has bettered him/herself professionally. Congratulations!
My theory is no news is good news. (sm)
If there is really a problem with your transcription, then I would not worry about it. They will get to you if you screw up.
As far as policies and procedures, look in your manual. I am sure they gave you info for all of that stuff. JMO.
Did anyone hear the full story on the news about...sm
using your bank card as credit instead of debit and being charged $20-50 extra. I just keep catching the tail end of the report but really want to know if I heard it right??
Glad to hear it's not just me!
Maybe we should start a support group for people like us :)
Glad to hear that it is not (SM)
a clot. As I was reading your post and "pedal edema," it made me think of how my right ankle hurts at night from all the pedal pushing during the day!! It is truly a case of pedal edema for us folks!!
Seriously though, I hope you get totally better. 
So glad to hear you say that
I had answered a post because the poster said really hard to work from home and she did not know about, I guess, about taking things off on taxes such as part of the electricity, gas bills and I was just stating what I do and how I try to cut down on my bills so as to not overspend. I, like you, have never ever had anyone to think I have a bon-bon job at home. I think when you let people take advantage of you, they will. Expecting a phone call the other day that was important, caught it only to have a sales pitch. I told the person working, sorry and he said well I will only take a few minutes of your time. Then I said, no you won't- told you I was working and hung up. It sure is simple for me.
Glad to hear
I have a nurse practitioner friend who goes crazy with the transcription...account MUST be verbatim. She was telling me that the MT will type
"and please send a copy to -------" instead of doing a cc:
Personally I think it's crazy. For me, I'd like to use my brain when I'm transcribing. Of course that is MHO.
Glad to hear
I'm not alone. Do any of you ever just trust that it must have been said and not re-listen?
Also because physicians often use abnormal sentences (leaving out little words, etc.), it makes it hard to know when proofing if I missed a word or if it was dictated that way. I like double check though, because sometimes I did leave a word out.
Glad (or sad) to hear that I am not the only one.
Maybe time to look for a place that does not use Escription.
Glad to hear it!
Back around the dawn of time when I started transcribing, it was DISC. Always, always, always. Then disk started coming into style, though it set my teeth on edge, especially the glaring "diskectomy" which I thought everyone KNEW was wrong.
So glad to hear disc is making a comeback!
I am glad to hear that...
Over the years as we have been warned about our jobs ending because of VR, I didn't lose any sleep over it. I think VR is a good thing when it works - and it obviously must work in your case - my experience with it was not so good. VR, to me, is an entirely different ballgame than being the second or third in line to edit reports that could as well be typed once by a skilled Transcriptionist in the US.
Glad to hear about your home...
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all
I'm glad to hear she is enjoying
her life!
glad to hear you made it through
Some of us who work for that ___ company might be experiencing some stress and some of the same symptoms in the near future. Its so important to keep yourself healthy with "yunguns" you're responsible for.. God bless you
Hey Jodie, glad to hear all is well.
You're still in my thoughts and prayers. Keep strong and don't let the trolls get to you. There are still those of us here who care about your situation even though we don't really know you.
Glad to hear you testify!!!
Now if we could only do something about it...........
Glad to hear you are leaving MQ
Honestly, I don't know how you put up with that for 10 years.
I was hired there 5 years ago at 8 cents/line and that was fresh out of school. They even bumped me up to 8.5 shortly before I ended up quitting. They have been screwing you over bad.
Thanks for the updates, glad to hear things
are going well for you. Go to church together, even if you split. Life can get better. God bless!
Glad to hear you have found your "nitch", and
It is so nice to have a place to go where there are others who can understand where you are coming from. Good luck on your new job!
Along these lines, I have another experience you will all be glad to hear...sm
I personally know of a large company that had always maintained they would not outsource but then felt forced to give it a try. It lasted one month, and they quit doing it because of the extremely poor quality of work being returned to them. You must understand that this is a company that is really needing people, as most of the larger ones are, and even in their highly motivated frame of mind to do something to fill their need for help they made the decision in one month that outsourching was not going to work. This should serve as a good reminder to all of us of the importance of exerting ourselves in terms of achieving and maintaining high accuracy. Being thoroughly familiar with the rules regarding grammar and punctuation in addition to the medical content we need to be familiar with may be a "gag-me" experience for some, but it's important that we stay on top of it. It's what separates those who do this work from those who wish they could.
Marry me?! :) Seriously...hear, hear. Good post. - nm

I am glad I waited to hear results on this before buying. sm
I need something that gives truly better syllable discrimination, and most head phones are geared for listening to music, not voice. I still have not found anything better than stethoscope earphones for that purpose.
I have good news and bad news 4U...
The good news is on Saturday, July 1 many of your least favorite residents will be "graduating." The bad news is that on the same day you'll be getting a virtual box of candy with brand new residents who have no clue how to dictate! RU excited?? ARGHHHH!!!! 
Glad to hear that my adult knitting friends and I are "trashy."

Good news - thanks
:)
Good news! sm
She wrote back about 2:30 and agreed to 8 CPL. Very happy. I know it's hard out there, as I was an MTSO. Very happy she could do it.
good news
Glad to hear there are so many still trying to steer their kids in the right direction. I've been wondering have all the parents gone mad. Around here there seems to be a very few who take the time to know what their kids are doing. What really blows my mind is those parents who know and dont' do anything about it--or worse, encourage it. Let's hear it for the strict moms! Whoo-hoo!
Good news
I will be starting back on my old position in the next few weeks. Whew! Big relief! Thanks for all the replies
Just good news
Just heard on the TV where a teacher got choked on a salad at school. The only person around her was an 11 year old student of hers who asked if she was alright, she told him no and he immediately got behind her to do the Heimlich maneuver and dislodged the stuck food. Now get this, he said it must have been intervention from above- he did not know the name of what he did, had never even seen it performed and basically he said just had to move and move quick to try to help her. Is that not a good story??
GOOD NEWS
What a good story - thanks for sharing.
Good news. Woo hoo!

Good News
My mammogram came back normal! I am so relieved. I want to thank those of you who responded and provided caring and encouragement to me. I really appreciate it and I also appreciate having this place to come to that is full of people who understand all about being an at home medical transcriptionist.
Sorry not to have good news, but the UK went to SM
the EMR some time ago (national health insurance). Do a search on MT activity in England and see what you (don't) find.
Well at least some good news
is that Sallie Mae announced that due to unemployment rising they are moving over 1,000 jobs back to the USA from India. That's great news for me, as I have to deal with their poor English skills and rudeness to handle my student loan account.
Good news
Thanks. It sounds like I am doing the norm. I was given a different impression from my company, but as I mentioned in my bottom post, the communication and thinking there leaves a lot to be desired. I was also instructed by a couple different people in management that asking for advice or tips on this (or any) MT board was the worst thing I could do. Hmmm...? :)
Assigning Can Also Be Good News s/m
My office assigns work to me, and in DocQScribe, they come up with a little "R" next to the job number for "routed". Periodically, they are nasty and were obviously attempted and jettisoned by someone else. More often, however, they are a bank of reports for a particular dictator, who I suspect has gone through the channels and whined and wants all their reports NOW.
The pros of this situation:
One dictator for 10 reports means I can fly through because they're probably saying the same things over and over. Or at least I can get used to their style and plug away.
Sometimes the group I'm routed is awesome: seven podiatry surgeries or consults in a row.
I like to think that things are routed to me because my office knows I will sit still and type until every one of them is done. I'd like to think they can count on my accurancy and efficiency.
I take it as a compliment. Maybe it's intended that way for you too, even when it sucks rocks. My partner gets nasty, nasty dictators routed to her sometimes because she's one of the few people who can do them and refrains from whining. Building goodwill with your MTSO pays off in odd little ways in the long run. And again, while it sucks for you, it might your strong work ethic and accuracy that leads your supervisor to believe you are the one for these jobs. Take heart!
Congrats to you on your good news!! :)

The good news about links...sm
"missing" on that site is that you can add more yourself. That appears to be the whole purpose of the site - to provide links to references (ergo MTReference) that one might need while working.
Anyone can find anything on the internet; you're right about that. But I'd prefer not to be worried so much about that and more worried about doing my job correctly with appropriate references and answers.
Don't register if you are not interested in the site. I, for one, appreciate that it is there.
Thanks for sharing the good news! (sm)
it's so nice to hear that things are better instead of worse for someone!
:-)
That is GREAT news! Good for you!
That IS a rainbow after a storm now!
I am truly happy for you and KUDOS to that hospital system for yanking those jobs out of the grips of the greedmonger MTSOs in India.
I would apply myself if I didn't have to drive to Michigan!!
I hope all goes well with you. Congratulations.
Well, the good news is no one knew you were a newcomer!
But can't you look back and re-read your post and rather see the humor in it? You describe all these horrible natural disasters, but with no detail, and then say your landscapers "suck". Sometimes we have to be able to laugh at ourselves, especially our written words, and that did sound funny! And with fires and monsoons and microbursts, your post just shocked lots of us!
Hope you get good news from the biopsy, sm
My husband just had a similar situation, only his was a growth on the side of his nose. Doctors thought it was a cyst or a mite that got stuck in there. After sending it off to 3 labs, it was diagnosed as Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. They may have gotten the whole thing during the surgery, but husband still has to undergo 20 days of radiation therapy to the site. His prognosis is excellent. He was very scared during the waiting period and once he received the diagnosis, however he has adjusted to getting the radiation and has settled down.
You can be his support. When my husband had all kinds of negative things running through his mind, I kept encouraging him that it may not be as serious as he is imagining. I also have a brother that had Non-Hodgkins lymphoma and he talked to my husband about his treatment, which helped my husband a lot, as well.
Good luck, I'll keep your family in my prayers.
A big smile and nothing but good news for the first 24 hours.
That's what men like best.
Finally maybe some good news on the horizon, please see

Any good/bad news about free firewall
I needing to find a firewall and thought I'd ask you all for opinions - Any good ones? Any to stay away from?
When I am on my computer, I keep hearing clicking sounds as you hear when you click on something within a website. Am I being paranoid? I have heard stories where people's computers have been "overtaken". My Norton Security expired this month and just a couple of weeks ago I downloaded a free antivirus program that was recommended by my home office. Now I'm without a firewall and I think I made a mistake in doing that.
