County mental health
If she is on state or county aid she might find something available. But I am not being mean but how can you expect to receive "free services" - would you do your work for free? Again, unless she is on welfare or something like that or perhaps through your church you might find some help but even then you usually have to pay on a sliding scale and don't get it completely "free". If she is suicidal or there is a chance she will do harm to self or kids, she can go to ER and they will set her up with something but again it would only be so many visits. Does she work? Does her husband work? Do they have medical benefits? Again, don't mean to sound mean or cruel but not much in this life is free as if everyone gave it away "free" how would they pay their bills. But look through your county/state directory or go to your church and see if they can help.
I think you need to try the Mental Health Board
Who died and left you boss to dictate what can be posted on the Main Board? hmmmmmm? Have seen several of what-appear-to-be YOUR posts - about discussion of movies and that we should all discuss Michael Moore's movie over at the Gab Board....
Since you apparently seem to have lost any sense of humor, try the Mental Health Board that is available here at MTStars....or I think there is a Depression board too.
Hope you get to feelin' better really soon.....Have a nice holiday if you celebrate tomorrow....
mental health transcription
I have seven years experience in mental health transcription and would be interested in working from home for your company. Please email me to discuss.
Maybe you should visit the mental health board
to discuss the topics of lonlieness and depression. You obviously have no one at home to talk to.
National Mental Health Association
has a web page with some good information on bipolar FAQs, symptoms, treatment, etc. Here is their address: www.nmha.org/bipolar/public/signs/cfm.
My daughter is totally fine on medications. The most important thing for her to do is get back to the doctor and get back on or have her medications adjusted.
Regarding a legal board, we are not planning to add any new boards. We feel that there are plenty of
boards for various topics of discussion. There also will not be a MQ board set up. Posters may post on the Main board or Company board about companies.
I am sorry. I meant boards not broads. Now those darn boards have disappeared again.

I think I am having a mental breakdown.
Right now it is just after 1 a.m. I have been paged for the THIRD TIME tonight for "stat" reports from a hospital, and that's just tonight. I have been reduced to tears from sleep deprivation, I have diarrhea and shakes, and I really really really want to tell my employer to sod off.
When do you think is enough enough as far as knowing it's time to move on? Is this normal in medical transcription--to be on call for hospitals? Yes, I do get paid extra for taking call, but then the piddly financial 'reward' completely negates itself because it interferes not only with my personal life, but then my professional life, as I am a complete basket case the following work day and can't 'put out,' thereby inciting the wrath of the bean counters when my lines aren't there. There is no schedule flexibility even though I take call...I won't be able to fall back asleep now because I had to slap myself awake in order to make myself conscious enough to type a 45-minute long report, and I'm not allowed to adjust my schedule tomorrow to accomodate a nap.
I am not a machine and I don't think the company gets that. How my other coworkers do it I have no idea. Oh wait...they don't...they quit as well!
I just shot off an ornery e-mail to my poor boss stating 'take me off pager or I quit,' so we'll see if I have a job tomorrow. I think I am displaying true self-destructive behavior here and is royally stinks. I'm better than that, but I think I have been officially driven over the edge. Sorry for the rant but I am truly fried. I'm going to go lie in bed and stare at the ceiling now while the song 'another one bites the dust' replays itself over and over in my head.
but boards will be dano's boards and that's the issue. no one dare disagree with dano.
yes the boards will be boring with just one-sided opinions but we need to please dano. isn't that the purpose of MT Stars?
Sounds like you are the one with mental illness

Time for a mental break
Hey all -- this kid is AMAZING! I don't think it matters if you prefer this type of music or not, you still will be in awe of his talents.
Enjoy... then get back to work!
She's not mental, it's just that she's right about many things people can't face up to...
Most of what she says is true. It's been far more documented as fact and the truth than the information the administration has given and still gives.
As far as soldiers.....read optruth.org. There are many soldiers who do not agree with this war or how this administration has handled it and they need to be listened to.
Your post gave me a mental picture...
When did we all become so deserving? I'm picturing the people moving west in covered wagons. It didn't even occur to them that the govt should provide them with jack diddly squat. If a storm blew up, it blew up. It wasn't anybody fault. They weren't blaming the farmers for their cattle ruining the ozone with their farts. They just accepted what was. We've gone WAY soft anymore. We can't survive without ice? Sheesh, those people lived their entire lives without seeing an ice cube, unless of course it was winter and they needed ice like a parka in Bermuda.
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.
Sounds like candidate for mental ward
NM
Totally agree with this. The lady has some mental issues for sure. nm

If he is on disability for a mental illness, why do you even listen to him? He is nuts. Maybe if h

Great idea. Thanks. I've had a mental block on
nm
OK. Now if your husband is bringing you down by his mental illness and not paying rent
(is husband able to work? how deep is this mental illness? did he have money to pay rent and spent it elsewhere?) then maybe you should think about leaving him rather than placing your kids in any kind of foster care. That has to be traumatic but then so does living on the street. Speaking of placing your children in foster care while you get yourself OK in the head, what is your problem at this point. You see, if there is a lot of arguing and a dysfunctional family living on the streets, then foster care to permanent placement may be better for them. I just don't quite understand how you got into this mess and if these are mental health issues on both your part and your husband's I would look into placing the children. BTW, how old are they?
So all things considered if you don't have any issues other than depression because of a lack of a place to live and your husband's mental health, I would go to a family member or church and BEG for help sorting your life out. If there is more than that going on, including maybe substance abuse along with permanent mental health issues that will keep you from caring for your children, yes I would seek placement for them. And I would seek PERMANENT placement rather than foster care which I would think would be more traumatic for your children.
MDs stop and edit and think what a stupid a$$ MT and service we have and make a mental note to d/c s
No MDs do not give a care if they say p.o. that we change it to by mouth. It is much easier to read and understand p.o. for professionals who are speed reading a report for the bottom line on a patient. They do't stop to say, Oh, so that's what p.o. means. I thought maybe someone would mistake it for post office and that's a good thing. Thank you MT. You're one step in front of your good old tired doctor. This is crazy.
In her case, I'm guessing personality or mental disorder. After all, they are pretty common. NM

There are plenty of
dummies out there with degrees and certificates. You can do a halfbutt job all the way through and still get a degree with a C average.
they have plenty
I know 2 people who are relatively new and they are being recruited for it. It looks like they are putting people on it with very little experience since they are making less anyway.
i'm sure there must be plenty of those
there are also those who routinely accept Medicare assignment, write off balances, work 16 hour days, on call 7 days a week. Certainly there are national corporate executives obviously who are makin' it off the backs of MTs and, furthermore, we all try to increase our line counts using macros. But I say if her profit is so "out there" that she's feeling guilty about it by all means don't contribute to part of the problem thats wrong with America today which is general lack of morality. People who are simply trying to be honest and worry about what is right deserve to be heroes
There are plenty
of people who have gone through the legal process of becoming a US Citizen who are not US born. Yes, there are many MTs in the US who were born in India and are now US citizens who do MT work. There were several in my MT classes. I only use India as an example. There are many from several other overseas location who are now US citizens.
Yes they did. And there are plenty of
So?
Same here. There are plenty of men
.
We have plenty here.
That is never going to happen. Ever. There will always be people here illegally. I'm just not going to hate them for it.
I can have plenty of fun without that freakshow.
x
I have plenty to say, such as, Take It To A Blog. nm
:)
Plenty of work there.....
There is PLENTY of work at Amphion. I'm not sure who has been saying that they overstaff, but there is more than enough work to go around. In fact, right now there is overtime available, and they are in need of many more transcriptionists for new accounts. 
Oh I "got" PLENTY. LOL. nm
x
I would think you should give them plenty of
...to find a replacement. Probably a couple of months. If they seem to be dragging their feet though, I would give them about four weeks. Just my thinking.... :)
There are plenty other companies out there...sm
You don't have to put up with this. Read the boards closely and check out the Jobs Forum. Best of luck to you.
I have plenty of friends...sm
that I know from different places, clubs included, but that doesn't mean that I'm having an affair with any of them...male or female! Before I was married my best friend and I went to a particular club to dance...it was great exercise and more fun than going to a gym. I made several friends there who are strictly friends. We were all single, enjoyed each other's company, and liked to dance...nothing nasty ever went on. In fact, many times my male friends made it easy to shake men whose attention I didn't want. Sometimes people go out just because it is more fun than watching TV. Hubby and I went to the club a couple of weeks ago and I introduced him to people that I knew there. I would hate to think that because I introduced him to people that he would think I'm having an affair. I don't know if I'd be more hurt because he didn't trust me, or because he thought I was dumb enough to take him someplace and introduce him to someone I would have an affair with!
I would also hate to think that my husband would search my cell phone and check the numbers he didn't recognize. My son is in the military and at times his friends have called because they consider me a second mom or are trying to get in touch with my son. Nevermind that just about everyone has had someone call their phone and it has been a wrong number!
If someone gave me a real reason to check up on them, I probably would, but to check up on someone 'just to be sure' is insulting. If someone I care about can't come to me and talk rationally about their fears, then we don't have much of a relationship!
and plenty want everything spoonfed to them...
no, plenty of jobs out there that
plus benefits. Keep looking.
I have plenty of bills to pay...
Hubby had open heart surgery and was off work during the busiest season last year. I now handle ALL the bills except his truck insurance and truck payment to the tune of at least $5000 a month and that doesn't include the $75,000 hospital bill that the insurance doesn't pay. I couldn't do that if I didn't stick to my guns. Sure, we're not in the best of shape right now, but we are scraping by with a little ingenuity and things will get better for us...but I surely will not work for peanuts,never have, and never will...and neither should you.
You have to prove you're worth it that extra $.01 or so,(ahem), but in reality, we really need to stick together. Fighting amongst ourselves doesn't solve the problem.
There are plenty of free ones out there.
You probably have some Spyware that has gotten on your computer. I run AVG constantly and then also run SUPERAntispyware Free Edition (Google it) and also Spybot Search and Destroy, each once a week. Between these 3, I seem to catch just about everything.
There are still plenty of companies
that value patient safety more than their greed and don't use that awful VR. Find a better company.
Post above is RIGHT ON. We have plenty sm
of people working here who type the most twisted garbage I've ever seen. I have QA'd Indian work before and most of them have a better grasp than many of the people I see in my job list day after day. My company isn't offshoring right now, but it wouldn't surprise me if they did. Many of the worst MTs have more than 20 years in, can you believe that? They've hidden themselves away, haven't kept up on the changes in transcription and they refuse to accept feedback and apply it.
At least you have plenty of work!
There are some MTs who are begging for work. Or what about all the people in the U.S. who are being laid off and are unemployed. I would be happy that I am employed and they are asking you to work extra.
There are still plenty of companies willing to pay for advertising
on the TV and radio. Besides, I'd never pay for radio or TV. That's just silly.
There are plenty of online companies set up this way also-nm
nm
When I worked for them, there was plenty of work.
They are very disorganized, though, and I spent most of my day doing unpaid clerical work. They would make lots of promises to get me to stay and then not follow through with them.
yeah I get plenty of cherries when
you are sound asleep and I'm working at 2:00 am even though I have a day schedule because the evening people failed to show up AGAIN to do their work. Yeah I get the cherries after I finish Dr. noonecanunderstandme and his reports pile up from MTs that don't want to bother until the supe asks me to do 5 of his in a row and it takes me 4 hours to get 400 lines, so I have to work late to get my line count so other MTs get their cherries. I don't want my accounts going overseas and I'll do want I need to do to protect their TAT and quality and my employer look good.
Gessh, bad attitudes are contagious...have a cherry instead.
d~
I agree, but there are plenty of companies that don't - sm
Can still put food on the table working somewhere else. 
We got plenty and adding new accounts every day it seems - nm

There are plenty more jobs if you have a degree
I live in Atlanta. If you go to craigslist.org right now and look under the admin. jobs section...there are dozens of jobs that pay 50,000 or more if you have a degree...in anything.
There are many jobs in many different fields that pay well. In many many cases, they just want the person to have a degree, it doesn't matter in what. The ad just says...must have a bachelor's degree.
I'm currently an MT and will graduate in May with a degree in Psychology. I intend to apply for some of those 50,000+ administrative jobs and feel very confident that I will get one.
there R plenty of states where parents....n/m
@@
There are plenty of QA people that have no business being QA.
Definitely military time has no colon!
Here is what our company does that works great! We bcc: the entire QA staff and supervisors any feedback we give the MTs. That way if we see something that is incorrect, we can say something about it to the QA person. We all have a very good rapport so no offense is taken hopefully. We usually provide a reference to anything we see that might be incorrectly given to the MT. This allows QA to know what is being told to the MTs. This also means less differences in feedback is given to the MTs and that means a lot to the MTs. The biggest complaint I know is the fact that QA staff give different feedback and it is essential that QA stay on the same page.
If more companies adopted this policy, I believe we would have happier MTs!
