Swiss cheese report
I know exactly what you mean! I've had my share of those! All last week was horrible. They came out of the woodwork!  So I took Wednesday off due to frustration and went shopping! 
The flannels and a movie sound great! That's just what I did when I got home from shopping!
Update on my swiss cheese report...
I just checked my feedback and there were 8 QA markers out of the 24 that even QA couldn't get. Shouldn't that tell someone something?

Government controlled healthcare!!
Going to grab a ham sandwich (watch out for my knife!)

I wish I could be on disability for something mental that is controlled with medication.
I'm just sorry I'm paying for people to stay home and not work while my husband and I have to work. It's bad enough that this man doesn't help you around the house, but he's sucking off the government (us taxpayers) while we support him. He can't do ANYTHING? Whatever...
Man, what a country.
Love the serrated bread knife! Cuts everything!! nm

my opinion, when doctors controlled the money rathe than the insurance
companies (government) there much more money to go around, and in my experience the doctors shared it. their BUSINESS MANAGERS in their offices (women) were tighter than rubber bands, and unwilling to pay anyone what they were worth, but the actual doctors I have worked for, whether in the hospital setting or in private practice (doing transcription) were extremely generous...
I worked for one who was fighting quite actively in an organization to give doctors back control over their patients, but in the end, the insurance companies won and that who is controlling our profession and driving it.
they always claimed the doctors were getting too much money, but at least they shared it. now with the insurance companies controlling the money, who knows who gets it.
think about it...every hospital I know or have worked for, made major cuts in the last decade, many completing eliminating ancillary departments entirely, letting go full-time employees.
so, where did all that money go they saved? it certainly did not get passed-on to the patients, and even nurses are cut back.
seems to me the government (insurance companies) and administration is getting it.
before capitation came along, hospitals were in the business of healing the sick, and taking care of the POOR. now they are just businesses, like Walmart.
those of us in our 40s and 50s, it has been sad to see the decline in the way it used to be...I was always in awe when I would walk into the hospital to work in Med Records/Transcription. such a sense of amazement and 'security' within the walls...
the halls used to be bustling and FULL of doctors, students, nurses, office people....when I left a few years ago, the halls were silent and somehow kind of creepy. it saddened me a great deal.
rather than attend to patients in a selfless way, everyone is treated as an annoyance, if they need too much care, or if something goes wrong they are not DRG'd for! not even doctors can get your illness covered, it is all in the hands of the insurance companies/govt.
you might as well have dollar bills laying in the beds.
Yes. Army MT
My husband is in the Army. This is the perfect job because when you relocate, you don't have to worry about changing jobs and starting over!
I work for the Army, we do it like this....sm
The exercise was conducted at 1645 in the U Area..
He is in the Army National Guard,
last summer when he was 17 and is doing "on the job training" this summer. Yes, he has enjoyed it very much and we are so very proud of him. He is my only child and so has been hard on me, but he is doing what he wants, so that makes me happy. When he comes home in 2 weeks, he is trained and could have orders to go wherever (Iraq) and so I am not looking forward to that. I wish you and your son the best, and thank him for serving our country if he does enlist.
too late for Salvation Army. :(
Churches she ha contacted have met their quota, too.
I will do that or Goodwill or Salvation Army- sm
I tend to go to one of those 1-2 x a year, also donate to the Oncology dept. at the hospital where my daughter is treated. The clinic relies on donations for kids toys, etc. so they can play/be occupied during their doctor visits. So to those of you out there, your local hospital's pediatric depts. are a good place to donate used toys, books, movies, games, etc. in good condition.
I lived in France for 3 years. Dad was in the Army. sm
I think it would be a terrific opportunity for you to go. If you don't like it, you can always return to US. However, if you don't go, you'll regret it later in life.
I vacationed in Italy and it's wonderful.
Go! Bella Italia! Bella, bella!

Remote Control
AND you can keep the remote control right next to your keyboard to mute it when necessary. I think it sounds great. I might try it!
Remote PC connection
One of my clients allows me to remotely access their computer to obtain patient lists and transfer files. I have high-speed cable, but there is some delay when I use Word on their computer. I imagine other programs would be a bit slower as well.
If you have Windows XP Professional, you can give this a try yourself by setting up a Remote Desktop Connection. A Google search for this will give you step-by-step instructions.
remote transcriptionists
Go to mtjobs.com. There are plenty on there.
Probably best to do remote training overall. sm
I realize you probably needed several MTs right away, but most are going to agree to remote training faster than flying somewhere. I am looking for a new job right now but I'm also still working at my old one, and need to make a living in the meantime, so it's hard enough for me to find time to test online for other places. I make the time to do so, but it often means working longer hours. There's no way I could up and leave my family to train elsewhere since my DH travels a lot. Granted, I would not have agreed to that in the first place if I knew it was not feasible and definitely wouldn't have backed out without notice. That's just wrong on the part of the MTs involved. Yes, MTs complain about MTSOs a LOT, but many don't realize just how bad some of what the MTSOs put up with can be. I've often had to fill in for others who just flaked or went missing without advance notice. IC or not, that's just bad business. If these were in-house jobs, they'd be canned.
In my job search, I've noticed a whole lot of ads now want on-site MTs and specifically say not an at-home position, and I have to wonder if it's because they've been burned by the flakes. If that's the case, then it's hurting ALL of us who wish to do this from our home offices. Whether you are MT or MTSO, you have to remember the golden rule. If you use respect and act professional, more times than not, you will in turn be treated with respect and professionalism. There will always be bad apples, in any profession, so you have to take your lumps and just move on without becoming so jaded.
Smothered steak, egg noodles, veggie, salad.

Yay for this board, I don't feel so remote
I admit I leave this page open all day (addicted) and refer back, just because knowing there are fellow MTs online makes me feel like I have coworkers again! Sometimes I do get cabin fever with the only souls around me all day being my cat and dog. Wondering how everyone copes with being remote and getting cabin fever once in awhile...has anyone gotten to the point where they were either too lazy/scared to leave their house??
Remote hospital transcriptionist
Hi, I work for a 270-bed hospital in Cape Girardeau, MO and have been with them for 14 years. 9 years ago we went to at-home typing and it's been great. We have health insurance (family plan is only 105.00 a month) and you get 50% employee discount for whatever insurance doesn't pay. We get 11 cpl on a 60 character line. We can work our own hours, just have to meet a 5000 line quota per two weeks to maintain health insurance. We go on-call for a week at a time where we are available that week to type stats should there be any during the night or weekend, but we receive on call pay (an additional 220.00 that week). By looking at what some others offer I feel very fortunate to work where I do. Right now they are not hiring as we don't have a turnover. One of our girls has been there for 25+ years. Hope you find what you are looking for. They are out there if you just keep looking. Take care.
Hospitals that will hire remote MTs
Thank you, Linda. I'll check them out. :o)

Lanier Remote Station
Can anyone send me instructions on how to program an older Lanier remote transcription system? I think it is an LX-128? I just don't remember. I took my out of the closet to see if it works and have lost my instructions. Everything is all plugged in and works. HOwever, I get a double tone and not a dial tone. I remember having to program it but it has been sooooooo long ago. Any help would be appreciated.

Tell that to certain tribes in remote areas of the world
Body deorating has been around about as long as man has been around. Your opinion is just that, yours, and I'm glad not to know you in person.
I live in remote area - no cable or DSL
and Clearwire is also not available. I have the satellite service. It is expensive - you have to purchase the equipment and pay for the installation ($600 and up). The service is expensive too ($65). The speed is not quite as fast as DSL, but I download and upload jobs with no problem. Some MTSOs won't allow satellite service, citing security issues, which is dumb. It's like any other wireless service - you have to make sure your signal is secure, which you do through your computer (not the service itself). Even this is ridiculous in remote areas for 2 reasons: 1) I really don't think anyone is going to bother camping out on my land or drive down my mile-long driveway with their laptop just to see if they can pick up a signal and 2) even if they did, they can only gain access to the internet itself - they can't see what you are doing online. So this security issue thing is baloney! Also, in 2004 when we were hit by Hurricanes Charlie, Frances and Jeanne, there was no phone or cable service for nearly a month, but I was still able to work by just using our generator for my computer until the electric came back on - those that had dialup, DSL or cable were outta luck.
Hospitals that require remote transcriptionists
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to find hospitals that hire remote transcriptionists. I've been googling all morning, and I'm not having any luck. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it!
That's a typical hourly rate for remote
I personally wouldn't drive that far for it.
Have a remote garage door opener?
Could have scared the bajeebies out him by shutting it while he was in your garage. Only thing is, you'd be cleaning up bajeebies off your garage floor.
I have a dog that does a very good Tasmanian devil impression, spitting included, when people knock. The people can see her through the door and they usually leave a card or whatever they have and move out pretty quickly.
Meditech remote workstation 3? Shorthands?
The company I work for will only pay hourly for Meditech remote workstation 3 transcription becuase you can't use any shorthands in it. Is this true? It seems like an awful program that works like an old DOS-type program. I've seen other posts about Meditech and ShortHand but I'm not sure if we are just using a terribly old version or what the deal is. Can you offer any help? Thanks!
