I am so happy for you and the kitty--sm
I had just thought about you guys this afternoon and was somewhat worried because you had not posted. So Glad he is doing better...and you too.!
My VR platform is sooooo good that
some reports are almost 100% correct, very little editing required. I have noticed, though, it gets he and she mixed up and also does not know its numbering so usually watch those carefully. I am so custom to editing now that I see words everywhere that someone should have "edited."
Sad Newbie..happy news LOL
Hi there,
Tried to email you but it would not go through. I am an editor and wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help you out. Maybe see some of the stuff she is correcting..see if it is or isn't right and help you address it either way. I can help you find good resources and I can also help you find a good way to speak with your editor if she is in fact wrong. Quoting different references and a copy to the big boss is always a wonderful way of doing so. SOMETIMES..the big boss and the editor are "friends" and it backfires, but you don't want to be in that type of work environment anyway. Please email me. I have taught several girls medical transcription and they have gone on to work for decent/great companies without even taking a transcription course. I am going to begin doing free seminars in my area about transcription.

Super! Great news! Happy MT Day to you, too!

That's great news! What a happy ending for them.
~^,,^~
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.
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!!!! 
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.
Not-so-good news re: medical coding,
I was watching the news tonight (Sacramento, CA area), and there was a story about a lady who was looking for work. She had spent $10,000 on a coding/billing education, but can't find work. Apparently that field is "saturated", as the newscaster said. (Maybe from lots of MTs trying to get into that?) Anway, I had sort of been thinking about going to school to learn coding, but now I think I'll pass.
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?
I love hearing good news! Congrats to you BOTH! NM

So glad to hear your good news!!!! Eat a candy bar anyway :-) no message
.
Good! I am happy for you then!
See ya later! More work for me! I am sure I will see you on here again complaining about the next company you get hired with. I can't wait for that! I will look forward to it.
God is good. I'm very happy for you.
This sounds great.
Happy to help. Good luck to you. :) NM

Good for you!. That lady must be happy at Wal-Mart (sm)
Hmmmm...I have thought the same thing, transcription hasn't been that great lately. What a relief it would be to just put the computer in the closet.
Happy for you that you found the good stuff...sm
Happy that you found a better man than the first husband. I, too, was married to a controlling (though he didn't get far with me in that regard because I cannot be *controlled* and since I'm a teenager) french frog whom I divorced 15+ years ago for my SANITY. My sanity became an issue and I became my own Hero........and have been V_E_R_Y happy DAILY without him. *L*
I will never marry again....fool me once, shame on you - fool me twice, shame on me. I believe marriage is NOT normal...but hey, that's just me.....I believe marriage is an institution and I do not need to be institutionalized. 
Thanks for the good wishes, everyone. Happy Easter!

It's great you've got a good system; I'm happy for you! nm

very good All Stars 7 I thought - happy Boogie
not sooooo
They threw tear gas on them and the crowd threw them back. They don't know why the started firing their guns. There was an undercover agent there that some suspect fired his gun or gave the motion to fire. but that is just speculation. As far as declaring war, Nixon did declare the invasion of Cambodia, which is what started the rioting in the first place. I never said a word about Vietnam. My father was working at the University at the time as a teacher. I am quite sure he remembers it well.
You are sooooo right
Just like it is correct to single space between spaces. No wonder they claim they have saved a client money. Cutting down on spaces and also employee wages will do that.
sooooo right!!
DITTO THAT!!
sooooo not right!
lol
thanks sooooo much!! (nm)
x
Sooooo, how'd you get online?
Nm
Oh, I sooooo understand...
I know it's time for a break when I start talking, no, YELLING back at the dictator!!
It is SOOOOO obvious who you are
And it was so obvious last night who you were as you were posting with different names about what you were "eating". Please.
I am NOT starting flames. I was trying to let the OP know that not everyone on this site is mean and nasty. This place has really become a hole in the wall since you started frequenting the joint. Makes me wonder why I waste my time.
You are SOOOOO correct! (sm)
What an eloquent, on-the-money (no pun intended!) post that was. You are so right. A few other things that bother me about AAMT:
1) Didn't they come up with the job title "transcriptionIST"? I've always had an issue with the "ist" at the end, which seems in my mind to feminize the job. I still call myself a "transcribER". People try to tell me a transcriber is the voice-recording machine, but it does NOT transcribe - WE do! It merely records & plays back!
2) It also strikes me as totally hypocritical of AAMT to charge US MT's a premium price for EACH TIME they take their little test, just for a meaningless CMT after their name, while AT THE SAME TIME bringing the pay we receive for our time, expertise, education, etc., lower and lower every year.
Talk about a SCAM and a RACKET.
I used to waste sooooo much time
looking things up, then get sidetracked, etc. When I started using the stopwatch, I wouldn't reset it until the end of my shift. I just started it running everytime I stopped typing and then stopped it when I started typing again. At the end of the day I nearly FAINTED when I saw how much time I was losing.
I have a 3 to 5-minute limit now. I start that watch and in 3 minutes if I am no where near finding the information, I put a blank and go on. If I feel I've almost found what I'm looking for, I continue but at 5 minutes I call it quits and it gets a blank to QA.
Don't hardly ever send blanks to QA because I can send 2 blanks to the hospital without any trouble.
Still, it helps me keep on task and at the end of the day I can see where I have not been productive if my lines are really sucky. LOL LOL LOL
just checked i-mail. no news. how did you get your news?
love,
frank
