Your pharmacy cannot tell your husband your prescription is ready. Where does this madness end? People on here are paranoid, the whole world seems like going in the same direction. You cannot call someone's name in a physician's office, your next of kin cannot be told your prescription is ready- on and on and on. All this political correctness is just a bunch of bunk. I could use a lot more words to describe but not allowed to do so here.

I'm shocked as well ... here's where ...
Look at the recipe thread here on page 1 of the Main Forum.
Open the post by "Just Observing".
There are ads displayed on the right, down the page where the "latest" posts are listed.
One of them is for BPO Experts. It is an ad for Indian offshoring of MT, coding, different types of HIM work.
I am quite shocked myself to see this ad on this website.
I am shocked
I still can't believe it. I did a search for MT companies and came upon Zydoc. Searched here but found only one person asking a question. Started filling out the form on their website and got to the last page and it asked me to enter my CC info!!!
I was shocked!
Ace really deserved to go home last night. I can't even believe that it was Bucky.
I am shocked!
What a jerk that doctor was! I am sorry you got in trouble for that, but I am sure you flagged it and did not just send it in as a final.
You go, girl!
I was so shocked!
I could not believe it when I read what was on this web site.

I am shocked that.....
companies even use PayPal to pay. PayPal is not a very legitimate company and is KNOW for freezing funds, over-charging fees, etc. Years ago, Paypal decided to freeze $3,000 that I had in an account to "investigate" it, although it was clearly shown where the money came from. It took me a year to get my money back. I found out that they do this sometimes to invest different monies I guess. Crazy company, I wouldn't use them!
I was shocked too. Are there that many pedophiles?
a
You're welcome. I was shocked at some of it too. You know, there are
in stores and bakeries now too!!!! Lots more opportunities to be sitting in a danger zone in case you happen to be called in to be tested out of the blue and there you stand with you teeth in your mouth (and a few muffin crumbs on your blouse)...failing a drug screen.. yikes.
Yes, shocked here, too. As my 3 teens have
pointed out, dear Cat is sure strutting her you-know-whats. Yuck. Chris was absolutely stunned, and so were a lot of viewers. We're not even gonna bother - the remaining 3 are nice enough, but talented enough? No way!! 
Very true...I was shocked as well
at least we can take comfort in knowing that SOMEONE will give him a recording contract.
I am shocked you would even question. sm
Your job is to transcribe the dictation. It is not your report - it belongs to who signs it. And unless you cannot understand a phrase or word - you blank it. Sounds like that was a clear sentence. Shaking my head.
I am shocked at how some people responded to this.....
Everyone has their bad days....that doesn't mean you throw your marriage away and decide you are better off w/o them. I know where you're coming from having a husband of my own that some days I could just kill but most days I love him to death and don't know what I would do w/o him. Don't pay these people any attention or let them get you down. Vent when you need to...
I for one was shocked at the line rate
When I first started out. They start some at 5 cpl, are you kidding me? 10 years ago I started at 0.0775 cpl. How can they do this and get away with it? Why are people signing up to do this?
I'm shocked. Sherrie come on out and talk to us
Dont you owe us that much?? We have supported this site for years.. Talk to us.
I wouldn't trust this at all! I'm shocked you do!
Talk about inviting trouble in the door!
I am shocked too! And the way that Ryan Seacrest just blurted it out...sm
I did not like that one bit! That was so mean how he told him he was the one going home! It was a shocker, but he will be one getting a contract sometime in the near future. I hope Taylor wins! I will for sure be keeping my phone lines busy next time - just goes to show that you better be calling and voting for the one you like most. Never would have thought Chris would have gotten voted off tonight....
Who's laughing? I'm just shocked that you take offense to the person who is correcting
YOUR mistakes, rather than the morons who are making these ridiculous errors, making the MT profession look silly. These mistakes should not have been made. I'm embarrassed for you my dear, not laughing at you.
I agree. I was shocked too. Laurie seems irritated; thought a little
mothering might help calm her down.
I'm raising my children alone. I know how it is.
I believe the original poster is the one doing the scoring, and she is SHOCKED at how low the score
is for the MT, and she doesn't even know what to say to the MT under comments. I can certainly relate - lately, its abysmal in my company. How, oh how, do these MTs get hired? To me, that is the BIGGEST mystery.
I'm shocked that they are still in business. Why haven't they been prosecuted and/or shut dow
nm
I received an invitation to a baby shower that shocked me....sm
It was for a friend having her second baby...already strange because I thought baby showers were only for the first baby, when you don't have any of the necessary items. The worst part, though, was that printed on the invitation was the ADMISSION PRICE to the party! It was a tea party at a tea room of some sort. It also was printed on the invitation what gift to bring!
I chose not to go to the party. I politely declined and gave an appropriate gift of my own choosing at a later date.
Wow..I'm so shocked. I didnt know this happened. I know the clients pay the MTSO owners so why ca
the MTs who do the work. Is this the same person. It sounds like she is a nice person but nice does not pay the bills. Anyone care to give initials of the company as I have been looking for a IC job and obviously with these people having a huge turnover due to nonpayment, I do not want to fall into that trap. How awful!!!
Hi, yes I did explain above. Really shocked by that post who thinks I'm a company...ahahah
NO bad intentions whatsoever. Shoot me for copy and pasting....too lazy to reype.
That's just really funny.
In 12 years of MT'ing I've never re-read an entire chart. Edit/read as I type. nm

Yes, I read your post, and I just re-read it, and I've copied and pasted for you in case
you've forgotten your own words! Your post above is 100% different "flavor" to it, now all positive and cheery! Your first post was 100% doom and gloom every which way, including "raining on your parade", and "if you want to go forward"...God, sounds like she's talking about jumping into oncoming traffic! Here is your quote:
My first boss (the one who hired me as a new grad) gave me some words of wisdom that I haven't forgotten. She said that transcribing at home with small children NEVER works under any circumstance. Either the work will suffer or the parenting will suffer.
****
How can the word "NEVER" in caps be interpreted in any positive way? You took about 8 paragraphs to cover every aspect and completely dash this poor woman's dream. I'm not blind, I'm not talking about day care at all, I'm talking about the total negativity of your original post! You know exactly what I'm talking about, cause you added some sugar to your second version! And that's much nicer than the first!
Oh I've read that site and continue to read it...sm
I agree...much motivation there. I have tried to quit numerous times in the past and did successfully quit when I was pregnant for the first time many years ago but I have never managed to summon up the strength or resolve to stay quit. Thus the "need" for a financial investment in my efforts. It somehow makes it more motivational to know that I have $$$ invested in this effort over and above the $$$ saved on cigarettes.
Who had time to read?LOL I only get a chance to read This Old House once in a while. (nm)

I didn't read the other posts but just read this
My daughter got pregnant at 17, said she wanted an abortion but BF didn't. I have a wonderful 2-1/2 yo grand daughter that I don't think I could live without...and now, guess what? I don't. I have custody of her. She was dropped off on my door, I got court ordered temporary custody and final custody hearing in a month.
I'm single with no family support. I had just taken a new MT job one month before this happened and they have been wonderful during my adjusting to being a mom again and I hope I can resume a normal schedule by next week.
I'm passing no moral judgments or giving moral advice. The situation is what it is. My prayers are with everyone involved.
Definitely an eye-opening read. Having my teens read it, too. nm
s
Yes she did. Read over and over.
Go have dinner and read again. What's your battle or issue with poster. It's an OPINION!
Read a few more
of the posts from ALS. I think that this is the poster who is trying to be "smart" in the way that you are referring to in your post.
I can read 2
She never did provide a reference for crepitants. This is because she cannot. It is not a word.
Please read - sm
If you are the transcription supervisor I would strongly advise you to please review the reports carefully - do this around the end of the first month or second month. The reason I say this is because for the first few weeks an outsourcing company will QA just about every report so that it looks great, gains the confidence of the client, etc. I have worked with many, many hospitals as a consultant and notice this to be the pattern.
After you have found the multiple mistakes, bring these up to the administration and ask to have a deduction from the bill.
I have had to point out to a few hospitals that use the overseas transcription that they are putting the doctors at malpractice risk. One hospital even ended up paying the outsource company $262 for the month because they had so many mistakes in the transcription and each line that had an error was deducted from their original bill. You can bet that company did a turnaround the following month with nearly no errors. I'm not afraid to tell you the company - CBay.
You need to read up on how (sm)
perverts select their victims. They don't just assault randomly unless they are planning to kill you afterward. They specifically target those who they think will not stand up for themselves or children who have nobody to stand up for them! Your pappy there has had permission from both his wives to assault others under their roof and he is going to get worse if you don't stop him now. He's not senile, he's not demented, he is a disgusting pervert who has been molesting children his entire life! No "mother" would allow this sort of thing to happen to their child, and it doesn't matter if you are 5 or 55! Do you REALLY believe that his own children were not molested? The only reason his daughter didn't admit it to you is because she'd have to tell you the gory details and didn't want to have to go there, much like you don't want to tell your family something he SAID to you. I guess if you're that worried about what your "mother" will think, then go ahead and get felt up for the rest of your life, but I sure hope you have the good sense to NEVER take your children over there!
You only read what you want to..
I don't advocate welfare for life no questions asked, but geez, louise,this is America, the richest country in the world and we have children who go to bed hungry!!!!
You need to re-read
Listen up! What part of re-read the darn posts didn't YOU understand?
People have been complaining on her for weeks about "oh I hate having so many accounts..." or "I have too many accounts and can't remember each profile" or "I already have 6 accounts and I don't want anymore"
Take off your bifocals, clean the slober off your monitor, and scoot your big old butt close to the screen and re-read the posts from several days ago!
Read this
Her uncle ron is your husband - get a grip on life!
from what I read
it is fine to wear black. I checked it out on the net. During my wedding, there were a couple of women wearing black. I also attended a wedding where the bridesmaids were wearing black.
You might want to read the (sm)
article/link that someone just posted on the main board.
Good luck, whatever you do! 
HELP! Where did I read this? (sm)
JAAMT or Plexus or other???  It was an article about AAMT's position in dropping the possesive form of an eponym and how other organizations were following suit (like AMA). In other words, not to type Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease, but Alzheimer disease and Parkinson disease. I meant to copy this to have it readily available (doctors don't seem to have read this explanation yet). Thanks!
See, the way I read that was...SM
The poster was saying "Hey, better to have an occasional drink than to wind up on antidepressants" - which, even when taken EXACTLY as prescribed, can really mess some people up.
I have never taken a job from there, but I just want to read it to keep -
ahead of what is out there and who is looking for what as far as jobs. What I did notice though, and I absolutely love that they did this, is that you cannot see what anyone else has bid. you used to see what everyone was bidding and it got to a point where people were putting down that they would do it for free just for the job and experience!! C'mon. How fair is that.
I agree with you on paying - I don't want to pay Guru a part of my check, that I am already under bidding on, just because the job was posted there.

It means intake and output and you don't put an apostrophe because that makes it possessive. You also don't use one for words like TMs and so on.
Not just re-read but...
That's called re-casting the sentence and would not be permitted with TRUE verbatim transcription. My dream is to one day type EVERYTHING just as they say it, including "BEEEEEEEELCH", or 'Hi Joe, how's the golf came?" etc.
Do they like to read?

Please read
That may be true, but again, please don't let a bad reputation of one company put you in a negative mindset of the entire Network Marketing Industry. It's the same with medical transcription. If you look at these boards, you'll find that there are some companies with very bad reputations, and yet there are some very good ones out there.
I have and am doing it.....please read
I've been in this industry for several years.....and I never said that ANYONE should take my advice, I was simply giving my opinion and having a conversation. If Network Marketing is not your cup of tea, then that's cool. But I along with several other people I am associated with do make a nice living at it. Please understand, I am NOT defending those companies that truly are scams or the ones that make you spend lots of money before you even see a dime. I was just saying that not all companies are bad.....and that personal development is a good thing to do for yourself.....nothing more and nothing less. Have a blessed week!!
If you would read the
She says that she should be paid the extra that the MTSO is pocketing...what do you think that means?
Why do you read it then?
There is no need to be nasty.
What I have read..
From a government site, said that with the growing population and the expansion of new hospitals and medical facilities, the need for the medical Transcriptionist will increase. There are many people on here who will say, don't do it, and we hate our jobs, but I don't think there are many jobs where you can sit at home and do your work. You save on gas, clothing, food, day care, etc. In my opinion, it will be here for a while. Even if there are voice recognition programs, there will be someone who will have to edit those files because of grammar, ESL doctors, and just doctors who cannot speak.
There is also a concern for outsourcing out of the U.S. I do not think that is a problem. I know a few doctors who went with an India service and came back pretty quick. I doubt the need for the MT will reduce in the future. This is my opinion from what I have read.
You need to read this...................
Please be aware that if you are working in the evenings doing MT, and another agent calls you and says he/she has a contract on your listing, you WILL have to drop what you're doing MT wise and go; to not do so would mean you could (most probably) miss out on a sale, which you certainly don't want to do after having put all your heart, soul, and $$$ on the line.
Also know there are time constraints involved in all contracts,and they will not go according to YOUR schedule.
Please be aware that if a seller calls you and says he/she wants you to list their home - please come over at 7:30 p.m. - you WILL have to drop what you're doing MT wise and go; to not do so would be to risk the seller listing their home with another agent. In addition, you'll also have to spend time preparing for the listing meeting before you arrive there.
Also be aware that the majority of home buyers work during the day, so the busiest time of day to go out looking at homes with buyers is naturally when they are not working; i.e., evenings and weekends. If you are summoned to take buyers out looking at homes at that time, you WILL have to drop what you're doing MT wise and go; otherwise, there are thousands of other agents out there who are more than willing to drop what they're doing to show homes and make a possible sale.
You will find that Buyers do NOT wait. Real estate agents are considered a dime a dozen as there are so many of them out there who are willing to show homes at 2:00 a.m. if need be. Buyers want to see homes when they want to see homes.
I'm not trying to be snitty here, but I think you have an unrealistic view of making money in real estate. If you think you can work real estate during the day and that's it, you are going to be sadly surprised.
There's a lot of homework that goes into real estate and a lot of time involved in all aspects of real estate that go with it.
If you are planning on making any money in this whatsoever, daytime hours only won't cut it, and you will soon find that all you're doing is spending a lot of money, spinning your wheels, getting frustrated, and going absolutely no where.
Trust me when I tell you to be successful in real estate, you must give blood; this includes in the form of your energy, time spent, knowledge, competiting with other agents who would slit their own mother's throat to make a sale, and a multitude of other things that I don't have time - or the room here - to tell you.
Tread carefully into your new venture and realize there's no job out there that's easy, and least of all real estate. It's one of the hardest fields, but I know most folks think's its so simple - sorta like the little gal with a typewriter/computer who watches ER and, therefore, thinks she can be successful in starting a medical transcription business or SC'g for a service.
