Bless your heart
I hope you quickly work your way into a better pay range.
Bless your heart...
you replied with Peace out, & I replied with guns-a-blazin'...what the heck did I do, forget that great thread from yesterday 
my bad...*sigh*
Bless your heart ...
Are you getting enough sleep? That's pretty important!
Also, how long are you up before you start typing? Do you eat breakfast? You need a good mix of protein and carbs before you start typing. Perhaps a little exercise..??
On your expander, slow is fine on adding to it. Limit yourself to 5-10 shortcut entries a day. Write them down and keep them posted on your screen until you can use them without looking at the list. Then take that list down and work on another 5-10 shortcuts. They won't do you any good if you cannot remember to use them. When naming shortcuts, do whatever comes to mind first, whatever is natural.
Don't spend too much time on ESLs if you truly cannot understand what is being said. I don't like blanks either but there is a difference in beating your head against a wall over unintelligible gibberish versus doing a quick (3 minutes is my limit) research of meds, instruments, terms, diseases, etc. Don't be your own worst enemy here!
Working efficiently is not a matter of how fast you are, it is how streamlined you think.
bless your heart!

Oh bless your heart! ...
I'm so happy for your success. You're an encouragement to me that one day before I finally get out of this profession that I'll be able to experience wonderful financial rewards again, if only for a brief moment in my case.
I appreciate you sharing your experience with us and keeping it real.
Bless your heart ...
Sometimes the grass is greener on the other side of the fence; sometimes it's not. The important thing is that now you'll never regret knowing if you lost that 'perfect opportunity' or not and you were welcomed back with open arms to your true home. Sincere best wishes to you on your continued success.
Bless your heart. You won't forget that one again soon, huh. nm

Bless your heart! I wish I knew what to tell you
Flu is hitting hard. I'm surprised you can work this soon. I wish you the best! I didn't have the flu, but caught some kind of "bug" going around and had pneumonia! It was terrible. Took me 3 weeks to get anywhere close to feeling normal. It was very hard to work when I did start back and I was weak for days. Hang in there! I wish you good health soon!
Reagan, bless his heart.

Bless your heart, hon. Been there with 2 babies.
I put gel-filled teething toys in the fridge to make them cold; did the Tylenol thing; did the Orajel thing as well.
Honestly, there's not much else you can do. Sometimes if they were a little fussy, I would recline them in my arm and dip my finger in a very cold glass of iced water to cool it and then gently massage their little gums with my cold finger. They would let me. I think the cold numbed and the massage just soothed.
This is one of those stages that it is hard to get through for both baby and parents! I feel for you. I've been up many nights and suffered long days hurting for my little ones.
If it helps, they won't remember the pain. Only you will! lol
How very sweet, bless your heart!!!!
So few understand or appreciate the things you mentioned. Radiology has its own set of skills which i would find challenging, as long as it has been since i did any. So you are not a 'mere' anything -- you are a MT the same as acute care, only a 1-specialty person. Thanks again for the thoughts!!
Bless your heart! It is tiring to sit all the time. SM
I try to always remember that there are so many people who don't have a job or a decent home. I try to count my blessings but some days, I just lose the motivation. I hope you can find some relief from your health problems. Best of luck to you.
Bless your heart. Back several years ago
I worked FT for a large hospital doing MT and ran an MT business full-time but I had 2 partners in my business. I slept every other night. Hahaha I was younger at that time. Made INCREDIBLE money. Still can't believe today what I made then. It was a killer though. And with running my own business, I was not doing actual transcription the whole time, there was a lot of normal business activity/transactions/planning to do. That is why I think I held up to it as long as I did.
Well, I'm very impressed. Congratulations. I couldn't do that today (two FT transcription positions) if I tried!
Bless your heart. Mine was 50, so I had him longer. SM
Lots of empathy here for you.
Bless your heart. I had to sign my kids
up for an angel tree, too. Always remember, This Too Shall Pass. God Bless and may you have a wonderful 2006!!
Bless your heart little Crispy Critter!
Bless your heart. The trouble is that companies can't "train" you. SM
...or not most companies, anyway. They need their work done and they need it done quickly and correctly, and that's just the bottom line. I worked in-house for years at a hospital and I did train people, but we were doing our own reports and had a large enough staff so that we could take inexperienced people. I do that on my own, too, but can't do it too much.
You'll get it, if they'd just give you time!
Bless your heart. I agree with Dano whole-heartedly.
Maria Shriver Kennedy Schwarz (I'm not spelling that out...hahaha) said that her mother taught her: You CAN have it all, just not all at the same time.
Great advice. You usually have to go through stages or phases of your life to fulfill all the wants and dreams...from careers, to parenting and child-rearing, homemaking, etc.
Bless your heart for taking the time to answer.
I was thinking macros were something else. I make heavy use of templates/normals, but I didn't realize those were called macros :0)
Shorthand is so fantastic for that. I love the suggestion window, too. I don't think I could type without it now.
Do you use the TCL script program? I need to study up on that.
Bless your heart and your sons. Some people just don't know when to NOT mess with things
Sorry you have a goof for an ex, and I hope your son's footie will be ok. Chillie
bless your heart for thinking $10-12/hour is good money - nm

That's a Shame, Becka, I hope you can eventually collect your pay! (EOM)

I am a loner at heart, somewhat shy. I do not want to change. Probably why I choose MT.

I did a job where the old man wanted to change one of his heart meds because he thought it was
:I
Even 4.5 is too low. doctors do not change - they still hem and haw, change, change stuff along wit
It is just not enough for the work. Speech is great on the wrists but you are not just reading what is typed, you are making a lot of changes. I have a hard time doubling a lot of days with all the changes I have to make. Just my opinion.
Don't change. I had to change back to cable. SuddenLink DSL stinks! nm

Change provider vs change to business plan
In your place, I would seriously consider changing providers if there were others available in your area, but I'd ask around about their service quality first. It may not be any better. If there are no other providers, then consider changing your service package to a business account rather than residential. They're usually more expensive, but they also tend to get faster service if there's a problem.
Last summer, I had no electricity for 3 days due to severe storms, but there were some 600,000 in the same boat with me. We just had to wait it out. It's a downside of working at home.
change attitude, change life
The first thing you need to change is that defeatist attitude! I know that's hard at times like this, but that's when you need to most.
I won't go into detail, but my financial situation is also at an all-time low, we couldn't even exchange gifts., daughter in hospital twice, & no med insurance)..but then I heard about how much worse things were for others around me this season. Now I'm thankful instead!
It's a shame that.....sm
these folks manage to get out of jail by promising to behave and their lawyers fight to get them out on "good behavior." Statistics show that 95% of them are never cured of their disease, even with intensive counseling/psychotherapy and yet we let them back onto the streets to hurt another person.
I know someone in Georgia who is serving a life sentence over a sex crime and each time they come up for parole the parole board gets a lot of letters reminding them why they shouldn't ever let this person back on the streets - because if they do they will commit another sex crime against a child or another adult. So far they keep denying parole but of course the fears are that eventually they'll give in and let this monster back on the streets.
As far as I'm concerned these folks should be locked up for life, period.
What a shame... nm

shame....
I agree with your last statement. When MT switched to a production pay scale, everyone's attitudes went into the toilet - ours and the management. Speaking for myself, I resent being paid by the line, especially now that the majority of the dictation being done is by people who do not have a command of the English language. I include those whose primary language is English. I do not know how these people got out of high school much less through college, medical school and a residency program with such poor communication skills. The issue of the ESLs has been beat to death and we have only our government to thank for that situation.
However, I have been in MT for almost 30 years, in every aspect of it, have worked with doctors and nurses in all settings. What we do does NOT impact patient care. No nurse, doctor, respiratory therapist, or any other health care professional, is going to take orders from a transcribed report. They may read that report to gain some information, but they will take orders from written physicians' orders or phone orders.
Transcribed reports are there for CYA for the physicians and the hospitals. Most of the time, what we type are works of fiction anyway - particularly in the OPs where they all say all they did everything perfectly, then the next day the patient comes back for a second procedure because they left in a sponge, put the tube in the wrong place, etc.
I think we all would be happier, more productive and more secure if we were paid by the hour with incentive bonuses based on QA and/or production. However, those days seem to be long gone and will not be coming back in this greedy, money-grubbing world that American Health Care has become.
Just my opinion.
Its a shame
To see what goes on with our animals. I volunteer at a shelter, so I feel i'm giving back "somewhat" but its still not enough in my opinion. Sometimes I watch animal planet and happen to catch an episode of animal precinct, and OH my gosh, the way these animals are treated will give you a stomach ache, leaving them tied up so tight that the chain gets lodged in their skin, you can count each rib. One dog the chain went all the way to his spinal cord, major infection. He lived, but he did not trust people anymore so they had to put him down. I have cried so many times but sit through it hoping there will be a happy ending, which there usually is. I always call my dog in to hug him after watching. I can't believe how people can not feel for these little innocent creatures.
Shame on you!
How DARE you assume that all of these unfortunate people are on welfare? (And if they are SO WHAT???) I guess it really is too cold where you live (and I'm not talking about the weather!). You should be ashamed for making a statement like that in the midst of all this human suffering.
No, shame on you for....
insulting an entire segment of society who for whatever bigoted reason in your mind believes that these people can do no better for themselves than to live off the govt. If they stop having babies at 14, dropping out of school, and working hard to become something (like many poor people have done in spite of much adversity in their lives), they wouldn't be living the meager existence that they do. The vicious cycle begins at birth with they are born to a young teenage mother and have no father and no money. Until that stops, poverty will remain in spite of a zillion dollars pumped into social programs. Just listen to what Bill Cosby has been saying lately. He speaks the truth.
What a shame
I am NOT homeschooling to keep my children away from other children. Rather, it is because of the lack of fundamental education the public school systems. Currently, teachers are not teaching subject material, rather, the current focus is on test-taking. I am homeschooling for the first few years, at least, to ensure that my children get a solid reading and spelling base, as well as math. Perfect examples ... I have a nephew in 2nd grade, struggling with reading, and getting 3 hours of homework per night - so there is no time to even practice reading after doing all of that. This is SO unnecessary, to me.
However, more importantly, please do not criticize this choice in education. I respect everyone's choice to select what is best for their family, their home, family and economic situations. So, please, could we all just support the poor children in this country trying to REMAIN children in this crazy mixed up world of ours? None of them are perfect, homeschooled, public schooled or private schooled, but they are the future of this country and they deserve our attention, which unfortunately, many of them do not get on a regular basis.
Oh, what a shame. LOL. You know,
there was probably an MT in India who could have used that piece of junk if you would have donated it! ROFL!!! Just kidding.
It's a shame
There's a disturbing trend in news lately to report company adverts, word for word, as news. PR companies send out releases, sometimes with accompanying video, and the news reports it, word for word, as if they've investigated it thoroughly and are presenting their viewers an unbiased report. It's unethical in my opinion, and this piece sounds just like that. At least in magazines, they have to include a disclaimer saying "This is an advertisement."
No - shame on you!!

What is really a shame is
no one will stand up for the MTs and let the dictators know things just are not acceptable, not only the ESLs but what about all the background noise? It makes no sense for us to strain to get a report correct when all you hear is either things dropping in the background or being close to a nursing station with all the laughter and talking. No one stands up for us. No one talks with the dictators and asks them to clean up their conversation so we can understand. It is really a shame but has always been like this, no one stands up against these dictators and tells them this or that, too afraid the hospitals, clinics, etc. would lose money/clients/patients.
It is a shame
 This is the first time I have posted. It is mainly because so many people are just so rude to others. The whole site is just full of people being rude to one another. Time after time, all I see is rude comments to one another. Why is everyone so happy. We choose what we do. We can choose to be happy or just choose to be an angry person. This site is worthless in my opinion. If anyone tries to find help or support, they get torn down by rude comments. It is a shame.. and I am a full blooded american before someone accuses me of being an Indian..
Have a great day and smile for a change...
I hope this applies to companies like Medquist. I hope there
isn't a way they can get around it. I REALLY hope.
But what a shame that the right to discipline has more or less
I was actually investigated by child protection because a teacher reported me for washing my 11 year old daughter's mouth out with soap because she called me a f'ing b****. All I did was put a spot of dishsoap on her tongue and told her that if she used those words in our house again or if I heard of her using those words again she would get the same. Those words are not spoken in my home, but they're heard daily by the kids walking by my house on their way to and from school. The only thing she learned from the whole lesson is that I have no authority and now she can threaten ME.
It is a horrible shame
because I have loved my job at the hospital and I still do love my work there, but MQ has put us in a position where we really have little choice, but to take a tremendous cut in pay or leave and if we leave, our options are limited.... no benefits (IC) or less money with fewer benefits.
Oh what a shame they aren't.
God Bless Everyone!
That's a shame, feel bad for you.

That's a shame. We get a 10% bonus for CMT.
We're paid hourly with no production bonus (minimum expectations, but no bonus for going over), but with CMT, the hourly rate and benefits are superb. So yeah, it *can* make a huge difference.
For shame! Why not try to be helpful?

Those colonoscopies are also templated I am sure. SHAME ON YOU.

No work so far this a.m. and I am glad (shame on me). sm
Had a lot of family over and grandkids yesterday and an old cocker spaniel that sheds like crazy. My living room carpet is green and looks like it has angel hair spread lightly all over it. Me thinks I could stand to do some housework.
I am sure there will be work later, but in the meantime I can play around here and then hit the floors at least.
Have a good day.
Buy him some diapers, doubt it would shame
him into trying to stop drinking, but it might. I guess your DD is learning my example. So sad. Alcoholism runs in my family, though neither of my parents were, and I just don't have any sympathy at all for alcoholics.
Uh-oh ... hanging my head in shame now. :( nm
