I just don't get it. If he pays the taxes on the money and she agrees to work for him for $900 a month, not to mention she is actually EARNING the money.

wrong, wrong, wrong. work is being outsourced because of $. period. not because of unqualified MTs
c
another wife
My husband has been active duty for 20 years. We were stationed in the same place for 17 years. As soon as he hit the 20 yr mark, they decided we needed to move. Not all military services have crappy housing, though there are some WWII vintage houses still around as the other wife mentioned. I've never lived in housing as a wife, but did as a kid. I told my husband before we married that I wouldn't live on base, but a lot of people do it to save the money. Your kids will miss their daddy, no getting around that. My daughter spent two months on IV antibiotics, two hospitalizations, blood work, etc. Didn't cost me a dime! Just remember, in the military if they want you to have a wife they'll issue you one!
and he and his wife for MT'g ONLY use...sm
expanders/shortcuts and he said that's all he used to transcribe and that he was making $$ hand over fist this way and his wife too.....again he said he never *typed* anything, only used shortcuts for absolutely everything regarding MTg....and in that case you could do 500 LPH I suppose.....if not even more 
I don't know the cost of this program any longer, but when I bought Shortcuts from him it did cost $149....it was a very long time ago though....hopefully that price came down over years.....
His wife
I think they are a total mismatch. I don't see how she could have been attracted to him, ever.
OM doc's wife
I have seen closeup a similar experience (a friend of mine) and sorry to say, the deck is stacked against you. Lesson learned= never work for a doc whose wife is involved in his practice in any way...nurse, OM, whatever. Any woman who wants to be that involved is in need of a life, and will almost certainly get on some kind of power head rrip sooner or later, just because she can. Poor doc!!!
I need a wife is what I really need
Told my aunt the other day how much running I had to do and she said just don’t do it. Well, how pray tell does it get done then? What I do is, by working part-time, I take the mornings and/or nights to do what I need. The 2 days during the week I am off is kept for doctor appointments, and taking care of business. I also have a housekeeper which allows me time to do this running around. Working out of the home or working in, I never take time for interruptions. I will answer the phone for 2 and that is if husband calls and/or daughter, other than that goes on answering machine. Even those 2 know not to be pesty in calling.
And, the wife usually
looks at any office expense as a rip-off of her husband's money. Having no idea of the knowledge and skill base required to MT, it probably looks like a pretty easy job to her. Wonder if she'd like to try doing a couple of reports just to see how it is. She might end up doing that very thing if you leave. What a mess that would be!
both he and his first wife were gay. He is totally gay, and says so. sm
He is not bisexual, but has been partnered with David for years. Get your facts straight.
Military wife
Yep, my husband has been in the AF for 29 years. He has been deployed since middle of March and will be coming home at end of May. I've been MT for 3 years, but all at one place. Wish I would've done it sooner, when we were moving around. He's retiring this summer.
Wife swap
I loved it. I have the same problem with my fiance. He comes home and makes cracks if the kitchen table has stuff on it. My deck is the other side of the kitchen table so of course it has stuff on it. Men, gotta love it.
Thanks for letting me vent.

I saw his wife yesterday. Don't know where
you get the overweight. Sure she isn't rail thin, but hardly fat. Chris is a local guy. There has been talks for weeks that he didn't really want to win because he would be tied to contracts for a year. He has a family and doesn't want to travel. Look at the year Ruben won. Clay was second and he has been more successful than Ruben, so I don't see not winning is going to hurt Chris. Personally I don't think he can sing, he can scream, but he sounds like a moose in heat to me and I think he'll soon fade into the spotlight. I have better things to do with my time than watching AI so I don't now about the others, though I did see a clip of Taylor on our local Fox news and I thought he could sing and he had a wonderful personality and is very comfortable in the spotlight, something Chris doesn't seem comfortable with.
So, you are friends with his wife?
I loved watching his shows...so sad. Hope his family is making it through this okay.
Where is wife/mother
Watch the intervention program but basically what it boils down to is that even with forcing them into a rehab program if they are not willing to quit they won't. They really need to hit bottom and you can force that by an intervention and get them into a program but if they don't see the "light" in the program they will only come out and do it again. But first concern is the children -- where is wife/mother? If they are in harms way then something needs to be done for them. Hate to see them go into the child welfare/protective services programs but if someone in the family cannot take them if the situation does not change then that is the last recourse. But get together with grandparents, siblings and pull together to try to get him to quit and see if someone can take the kids if there is no wife/mother around. If there is a wife/mother then she needs to do something about the situation for the kids sake and if she is not willing, step in. You would hate to not and then see something happen to the kids and not only that if something physically does not, mentally and emotionally it already is happening. Good luck. I might distance from him but not the kids. Patti PS - Dad was an alcoholic and ex was one so have had some experience with it.
Ugh, wife in the office! sm
I hate it! She is obviously "shopping around" as they all do. There is no loyalty when it comes to wives. If you cannot afford to dump them, then hang onto them until you can replace them. She will make your life miserable. I did the label stuff with the 1" pressure-sensitive transcription labels, Don't pay stationery store price.I am sure you can Google it. I used a paper cutter to "chop" the transcription and return it. The wife wanted me to take the face sheets, already handwritten by her, and print on those! I hope it's a large volume account. If she's saying get as much as you can on a page, she is being ridiculous, the only way you can handle that is to reduce your font and then she'll want you to reduce your price. I feel your pain dealing with the wife, they're ruthless!
If you can't get them to go digital (God forbid, that costs money) then you will have to work around her. I have walked that walk and it ends up you'll have to be the dumper instead of the dumpee which will happen eventually anyway because of $$$. My heart aches for you. If it were a big $$$ acct. you could set up a laser printer offsite there with the bottom half printing out the labels and the top the letterheads. But, of course, they wouldn't want the work of cutting and placing it in the chart. Been there, it hurts! I thought the doc would intervene in my case as he would rave to everyone about how pleased he was, but he said he only deals with the patients, does not want to know anything about the office staff problems. I finally gave them a notice and left promptly after two weeks. My pocketbook suffered but my pride suffered worse that he didn't step in. Grrrr! If you know digital, you could also buy them a recorder (out of your own pocket of course). Hope you get some good advice here, it's been awhile since I dealt with those "paper dolls" I used to call them,.
The minute you said *wife* the
No wonder you have to do all this. He has a wife telling him that you should be doing all this. First of all, if he pays you, you need to be talking to him about this, not her. Secondly, you need to decide if you can afford to go without this income. Do you work for anyone else? Could you pick up more work elsewhere? If so, then I would do as other posters recommend and confront him with a new charge schedule. If he wants you to do the corrections in-house, then have him schedule a time for you to come in and do this and tell him what your charge is. If he's late, his office should have the courtesy to call you. If not, I would make it a point to call in before leaving to check if he's running on time.
He doesn't see consultations for free. His time may be valuable, but so is yours. Don't shortchange yourself. Nine chances out of 10, he knows what he's doing is wrong and also knows that no one else will do it either unless he hires in-house.
I typed a report on the wrong patient as the doc keyed in the wrong info, SM
He later said the correct patient's name and I SWEAR to this day I made the changes but somehow the report when through without the correct patient and changes made. I still remember that incident.
Leland has a wife and 2 kids?? nm
??
Sounds like his wife has a leg up. I hope
aa
They think they're hurting the ex-wife, so they can't see that
they're actually hurting their kids.
Just found out that the suspect's ex wife--sm
is providing an alibi for him, saying that he was with her in Alabama at the time of JonBenets death and that he only knew certain things about the case because he did alot of research on it, as well as another case in California. Why would he confess to it, if he did not do it? and why would she, the ex, defend him?
Yep, I'm a Navy wife! Perfect job for me!

Harry Truman's Wife....
Her name, her looks, her personality, just EVERYTHING about her was just TOOO COOL!!!!!!
Did anyone see Wife Swap last night?
One of the wives was an MT married to a chauvinist. It was great because the "new" wife made him do all her work and chores in the house and with the kids, plus her MT job. He was up until 4 a.m. typing !! Ha ! He had a new respect for his wife after that! 
ditto the wife comment sm
I would say this is Problem No. 1 in a doc's office. They are a royal pain and they actually want you to lower your price in some cases. Leave them home!
re Dr wife and new charge schedule
I do have 2 other contracts and informed them that I had sent in my resume and that the new office might call for a reference on me. He told me he would gladly give me a good one - then the wife started confronting me and asked/told me that she knows I will resign because this is how it starts... and that I will not be allowed to just go but will have to keep working until she can find somebody else as it will take a long time (MTs in town know this doc & wife and won't work for them). I am a foreigner so I eat more of his nonsense than others but I think I have had enough! I will basically have to wait for payday and then tell them Im leaving you cold turkey or it will be a long dragged out nasty situation as she will just tell me she cannot find somebody to replace me. They have tried and this is the 2nd time I have gone back, first they got somebody in-office and let me go, then they got her back and let me go and then she walked out and they got me back again. I do have 11 years of exp and the new contract I have I can get more work if I want. Im just wondering if I won't be better off working my 40 hour week and having a life in the eve and weekends since my body is really giving me a hard time because Im working such long hours every day, 7 days a week to make not even what I can get at $10 p/h x 40 hours p/w.
The wife cannot work in Word LOL sm
The wife knows WP but not Word. They have a Mac at home which cannot convert the WP file to Word or that is her excuse why I have to do the conversion for them. This whole business stinks and its just time to move on and not deal with any of this, Im tired of always feeling like a monster and having my heart beat in my throat because I never know what I did wrong this time or how I will be treated when I get in the office.
never mind, his smart wife fixed it.
can't love overweight wife?! shame on you! nm

Inside and out apparently; man had a little baby with (now) ex-wife :-( nm
.
This same thing happened to my cousin's wife
and she also was 34. She was a school teacher at the time and had 3 little children. They treated her in the hospital for FIVE MONTHS. She was close to death for quite awhile but after multiple surgeries managed to finally survive. I do not think that they are suing. As someone stated, this is usually stated as a complication of gallbladder surgery.
Unfortunately, this hospital has a major problem with making those mistakes because my aunt also had her pancreas punctured when she went in just for a scope and also spent months in the hospital.
As hard as it is to accept though, these things do happen.
I am with the poster who said to pray for your cousin.
wife OMs are always trouble -- jealous, paranoid
poor hubbie lol
anytime a doctor's wife is involved in the
practice, it's always something...susan
Usher's wife comes to mind on this and if ICU warranted
would much rather be in the US than a foreign country.
I already know the details, hubby downloading porn while wife
Totally! I opted out of going to a cousin's wife's 2nd shower
after only 3 years! Ridiculous. The baby was even the same sex. And SHE never got rid of anything. So, I heard later that she took just about everything back to the store for refunds/exchanges! Really something, huh?
I assume it's Dutch (like his wife) but have no clue how to pronounce it. nm

A lot of times that same person is "the wife." Brutal

Fantasia wrong??? Haven't seen the OP's CD, couldn't have been too wrong.

Ha ha! But will you start dressing as tacky as Dog and his horrible wife? Yuck! ;)

Yeah, Daddy said Billy Bob's grandmother was his grandfather's third cousin's second wife.
Thank you. We are descended from the Hoots who lived in Killjoy, Alabama, right near June Bug. My mother was a Hoot.
One time I typed "Tp and his wife are retired and travel in their rectovaginal." Caught it tho

It's about morality - not censorship! Right is right and wrong is wrong!
nm
As far as it being wrong, well who defines right and wrong? On the
other hand, what if he were doing the same thing? How would you feel? I think that should answer your question.
You SUPPOSE it was wrong! It was way wrong.
x
you are wrong
it is harder to prosecute someone in a murder trial w/o a body, but not impossible. It is a case that would be based on circumstantial evidence. Perfectly legal and done before.
YOU TOOK THAT UP WRONG
I have lectured her. She knows we are against it. My husband and I do not drink at all. What I was saying is she can sit here and tell me she is not drinking which she has said she does not but I know better. I know every kid drinks at collegea and no I don't like it. I know her room mate drinks and my daughter has told me. There is nothing I can do about it if she is at college 100 miles away. She clains she does not drink. She has been told she has to pay the consequences if something happens. I tell her not to drink but if she does it won't be my fault because she should know better. I can lecture her at home by not allowing it in my home. I know a few of her home friends drink and I have told her if the parents ask me if it is so I will not lie. Obviously you don't have teenagers. Also Natalie's parents could have lectured her to about drinking but obviously she did it anyway.
WRONG AGAIN
to 'study and show thyself approved...rightly dividing the word of Truth'.
Well, I don't think you are doing anything wrong ...
I've been with these companies 3-1/2 and 2-1/2 years.
Do you know which accounts at your company are large or have a lot of overtime? I would ask to be put onto a super large hospital account as a primary. Being a large hospital account and/or overtime requirements will tell you how much work is usually there.
I have been very fortunate on my accounts but I asked for large hospital accounts up front for that very reason....????
Ur wrong...
Been an MT for 10 years and with MQ for 8...so much for assuming...
please, if you think something is wrong...sm
do whatever you can to get the person help. My nephew was bipolar/scitzophrenic (s/p?) and we didn't know until it was too late. Please try to help this person...it's hard to live with the consequences if you don't. Good luck and I will be praying for you and your friend.
Wrong!
I will take it to heart if it is from the administrator. The post was addressed to her.
