If your life sucks it's no one's fault but your own. Successful people take accountability for their lives and move forward instead of placing blame wherever they can and being angry at the world like you obviously are.

Unfortunately, their way of dealing SM
with what they call a "troublemaker" on that forum is to state that the discussion has gone as far as it can go and they proceed to lock the topic. If you try to open a new topic, they lock that one also.
There are so many issues they have done this on, their advertising ethics, the cost of the BOS, not giving the journal to student members...they just say IT'S BEEN DECIDED, NO FURTHER DISCUSSION. Really makes someone want to join, doesn't it? 
Dealing with it
We went to a lot of counseling and at first I did not agree with the counselor but now I see where he was coming from. It was worse in my situation as my husband is a truck driver and was on the road a lot and so I was the main discipline, rule maker, etc. His son lived with us twice and when he stole our car, etc. he did go back to Florida where his mother lived as he had outstanding juvenile warrants down there that his mother forgot to tell us about when she shipped him to us. But looking back I definitely see where it was the unstable life style and the first time that he was as bad as he was, we should not have sent him back to him Mom where he wanted to go. That is how he controlled us was by being bad. Now I see what the counselor was saying that no matter what he did, we were not to send him back to his mother but we did. Even if we had to separate but basically what the counselor was trying to do was to get Jeff to quit his job and stay more at home and be with his son more which he refused to do, so the first time (age 11) he took a butcher knife to new furniture, stole money and checks and took his bicycle trying to run away to Florida. Then he came back at age 16 and did the car thing. But I truly think that if we had stuck it out the first time, it might have made a difference but who knows. But my ex also had two daughters from a second marriage and I am closer to them than he is. We are now divorced -- no children -- after 22 years but I stay in contact with the kids --well grown kids now and see them. One got married a year ago and I went to the wedding, Dad did not. The easy thing to do is to walk away and give up, the hard thing to do is to love them and try to shape their life somewhat. It is hard but I really don't think it is impossible at this age. But your husband does have to lay down some rules, give you the support when you need it and let them know that they must listen to you as well. You are a family and I always worked with the kids mother to show unity and in fact am still friends with one of them but have gotten along with both of them better than he did. We just tried to do what was best for the kids. But again, they do need to know you are a united front and together and at this age, they have two choices, follow the rules and be part of a family or not and be alone. My oldest stepdaughter called on Mother's Day to say hello and she had lived with me/us from age 19 to 21 and gave us especially me since I was home most of the time a run for our money. Nothing like the stepson but doing some partying, not calling, things that normal kids do. She did move out after a little over a year but stayed in the area. She did apologize and say that she now understood where I was coming from and wished she had been a little different but she did appreciate everything I had done for her and was glad that we were still friends. So that kind of made my day. Again, counseling would be a good idea. Remember that kid is coming from a different lifestyle and we expect them to adapt immediately to our lifestyle. Like when you first get married and your first Christmas comes along and you realize you now have to deal with celebrating Christmas two different ways with two sets of traditions, it is hard. Good luck. Sorry I rambled on so much. Patti

Dealing with burnout
Hi:
Is anyone out there dealing with burnout due to their transcription job? I have been doing this for 7 years as an Independent with only 1 vacation in that time. I work weekends and holidays and feel like I am about ready to yank my freaking hair out  from the responsibility!!!

I don't like any commercials dealing with
gender, medical, racy or adult topics. I mean, really, when's the last time you saw a feminine product on TV and decided that you simply must run to the store right away to get you some? Cialis and Viagra? Come on, maybe E.D. was invented to give women a break for once in their adult lives. And all those pills being pushed by the manufacturers? Yes, let's go to the doctor and demand pills because we're all self-diagnosing.
My prayers are with those who are dealing
with Hurricane Wilma. I'm catching bits and pieces on TV and, living in the midwest, I can't imagine the fear that must go through those who stay to ride it out. I would be terrified. God bless all of you.
Guess I'm just not used to dealing with this
In the hospital when I was in-house, the radiologists always said "assault" or even "alleged assault." They never got more specific than that.
This is the first time I have run across this particular issue as a Rad MT. I suppose it is more common to hear about it in other modalities.
I am dealing with the same thing
me since October. They owe for three months of work at this point. I get the runaround when asking the office staff. I have put a call in to their accountant. I have not approached the physician himself, but that's my next step.
My husband has told me to not type another page until I'm paid. They owe me hundreds of dollars, and I plan to hopefully get that payment and then quit.
It is unfortunate, but is not worth me stressing over it. I am tired of robbing peter to pay paul, yet I've been loyal. This same practice had the nerve to call me last week to type a STAT report for them. How dare they?
I am so tired of this situation and I plan to get away from it. I would rather take a cut in pay then have no pay at all for months on end. It is driving me insanse.
It is to the Johns. And drug dealing is a necessary
job to the addicts. And hey, both of those make more money than most people do working an honest job.
I've been dealing with AOL since 1996...

Are you really dealing with a weight issue that significant?

So tired of dealing with incompetent offices...
they just emailed me for the upteenth time for a stat report that I already sent to them 40 minutes ago. Wouldn't you think they'd check to see if they had it first!?! Constantly emailing me questioning what they've sent me and when. Why can't she keep logs like I do!?! Doesn't take a rocket scientist! Can't remember from day to day to send me patient lists. Don't know what the heck she does with incomplete reports I've sent because doc doesn't give a name of messes up his dictation and cuts half of it off. I'll get a call a couple of weeks later saying doc insists he dictated on so and so, but they never got the report. I'm the one who has to go back and search for the nameless reports and match up the the patient they're missing with diagnoses, age etc., then tell her that's the one I sent you on that date that was incomplete. Why can't she figure that out!!! If I functioned like they do, I wouldn't last a week! Sorry, had to vent.....
Any advice for dealing with picky eaters?
OK, I'll try to explain this the best I can. My boyfriend has two children...one is a girl who just turned 18. The other is a boy who is 15. These two children will not eat ANYTHING! The girl is pickier than the boy, but still he is bad enough on his own. I have an 8-year-old son who will eat more of a variety than these two put together.
I am really getting tired of eating the same old thing every week. They will eat chicken, pork chops, burgers, hot dogs, pizza, and steak. It gets very old. My boyfriend and I love italian food, but if we make it we have to cook something separate for the kids (not including mine) to eat!
The girl doesn't like ham. OH, but she will eat ham that you put on a sandwich...but if you cook a ham, she turns her nose up?!?!? She likes baked potatoes, but not mashed?!?!? The boy would live on pizza ANYTHING if you let him.
I know that since they are older there isn't much I can do about it. Plus, they aren't my children, so I feel strange saying much about it. Their dad tries to get them to try new things, but they won't do it. In my opinion, he doesn't really try hard enough. My son has always been made to try at least a bite of something new...if he really doesn't like it he doesn't have to eat it, but most of the time he thinks it's good.
I just am sick and tired of the dinner menu choices being so limited. My boyfriend is a great cook (I am a good cook too, but he loves to cook, so he does most of the cooking). I'll ask what's for dinner and then almost feel sick to my stomach when it's chicken AGAIN!!
If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it. I think I needed to vent about it more than anything.

By any chance are you dealing with Indian technicians?? nm
s
has nothing to do with the race, but rather the communication gap when dealing with my own medical n
I pay a premium for through my health insurance coverage. I want clear communication with my physician. Please do not throw the racial aspect in, as it has absolutely no bearing on the point at hand. In fact, my gynecologist is Asian, but she has taken the time to learn our language because she chose to practice medicine here.
Been dealing with banks all morning and majorly stressed.
Have you ever had a credit card and all the phone numbers they give you do not allow you to talk to a live person, but get an automated system, that is not capable of doing what you need? Have you ever had a late charge because it took the bank 3 days to post an on-line payment? I'm going to have to write a letter I guess and when the next statement comes I'm paying it off and cancelling, though I'm not sure how I'll do that - have to write another letter.
Can you use a debit card on-line just like you can a credit card. I know most places only accept 3 major credit cards and didn't know if I entered a Visa debit # if that would be the same. I prefer Paypal cause I keep a little stash for on-line purchase, though most places don't take Paypal at least not yet. I just know I've got to get rid of the credit cards - much too stressful.
I didn't put up with it! I kicked my ex to the curb because I got tired of dealing with his SM
friends and incessant need to pretend he was a college boy, going to the bars, coming home drunk at 3 o'clock in the morning. Let me tell, nothing goods from letting your man hang out in bars with his buddies. NOTHING! If he needs to have a drink and relax, he can do that at home and the drinks are cheaper!
I can understand that it's hard for you not to give your friend your opinion. I can't hardly stand to see a woman letting a man treat her badly. It drives me crazy! Call me a feminist or a bra burner, but modern women need to get the message that we don't need men so badly we have to put up with all the garbage they hand out!
I completely agree. Working alone is so much better than dealing with all that stuff.

You're welcome! Start dealing with some lawyers, and they make MQ look nice!
I definitely feel like we are dealing with the same person! I think I need to make some phone calls

If your son's acne is not very bad and not cystic, you aren't dealing with severe acne, right?
There is a big difference. I have very oily skin that is acne prone, even now in my 40s, but my older sister's condition is much more severe, with cystic acne even on her back, like a male, and the one time I tried to tell her what was helping my skin, she let me know that what might help me was not going to be strong enough to help her. She's tried it all.
Does anyone have trouble with TMJ?
I have an appointment with an ortho to have it looked at. I have the clicking, bruxism, headaches, jaw fatigue and pain, loss of hearing on one side, and now neck pain and crepitus when I turn my head. The pain radiates all the way down my back. I'm so scared that i'm in the last stages and can only be helped with all sorts of surgery. Has anyone here been fitted with any sort of device that reverses this effectively? It makes my life miserable.
Don't want to get in trouble but want to ask a ?
about our MQ accounts.
I work out of the Amherst office and so far, I have enough work. This weekend we are a bit out of turn-around but the ladies on this account, and I, are working quickly to change that (when I'm not poking my nose on this message board).
I am wondering though, if it's just a few isolated accounts that are running out of work from the Amherst office, and it is illegal to discuss what accounts those are? It probably is--just think it would make a lot of us feel better (especially those of us out of Amherst that are starting to worry) if we knew that it's the same few accounts that are running out of work all the time, and not ALL of the accounts.
I don't know. This whole situation makes me sort of sick. I'm thankful I have work, but very sad that many of you appear not to and wonder when my account is next.
all the ones I usually have trouble with
I make expansions with my incorrect spelling to the correct one. There is just times I feel my fingers are dyslexic!
I had no trouble doing this on my last job, but cannot seem to do it now.
Different software. I have some of the same accounts, but none of the fast-moving accounts. This is all clinic work, but so was the last job. A lot of demographics to enter. The doctors give you all of these before they tell you which format this is, i.e. letter or office note, so you have to wait until you know to even start typing.

Anyone else have trouble with
I recently started working from home as an IC. This is my first job as an MT. I am really enjoying it thus far, but I am having the hardest time getting to sleep at night. For the past two nights I have been awake until 4 a.m. Can't seem to turn off my brain. Since it was the weekend it wasn't that big of a deal, but tomorrow is Monday, and I have to get up early to get my son to school, and get to work. I was just curious if anyone else ever seems to have this problem, and if so, any suggestions on how to shut off my brain? I'm exhausted and I know my work quality will suffer if I don't get some quality sleep.
I had trouble with this too.
I save as a file and then attach the file. There is an option towards the end to "save to rtf file". I could not get the option to e-mail directly to work.
He is already in trouble.
He just had his sister call me which is a direct violation of his Stay Away Order. Tee hee. The police officer last night told me that no matter what he tells him that he WILL do at least one of the three things to violate the order. Ta Da, he obviously hasn't improved his listening skills in 24 hours. He will never ever change. He doesn't hear God knocking like I did. I pity him in his blindness, but not very much....
It was too much trouble for me to
strip out any header/footer information, dates, ages, etc. on individual files and also take out "doctorisms" that are not actually in Stedman spellcheck. If you have ever gotten stopped by spellcheck and hit ignore, how can you be sure the information you enter into IT is right?
Anybody else having trouble using
I just cannot get the hang of this expander. I am not meeting production as a result. I also continue to get not so great QA scores because of 'expander' entries that are not intended to be in the doc.
Trouble
AMEN!!!
My 4 yo is having trouble.
Hi, I could use some advice here. My daughter just started preschool a few weeks ago, we just moved to a town that offers it. The teacher has been sending notes home that she won't listen or concentrate on the work. They are starting word recognition and writing in preschool now. The notes express concern for her in kindergarten next year. My daughter has never really been interested in writing or coloring. She likes to look at books and play with dolls right now. The teacher tells me that her hands are "weak" and that I need to work on that. I've spent the evening crying since she brought home the latest note. Her father and I are separated, so I'm kind of alone on this. He thinks she has ADHD because it "runs in his family". I'm not sure I believe in that. Perhaps my marriage and impending divorce have really impacted her badly, but I don't think that has anything to do with writing or drawing. Please...I could use a stiff hug right about now. Thanks for any advice. Lynn
Believe it or not, I had more trouble with
time off when I worked inhouse at the hospital. That manager wouldn't bend at all. You could call in dead and she would still expect you to be there. The company I work for now is much better, as long as I am able to switch my shifts, they don't care.
The trouble is...
you'll always be sliding between financially challenged and leisure fun time challenged. There's no easy way out of it, and I've been at this for 20+ years and it has only gotten harder to make a living and also make a life. Soon you'll be able to make more money at Wal-mart or McDonald's than in MT so I'm glad I'm really close to retirement.
so much trouble
I used to have so much trouble with my internet service through my local electric company - every time there was a storm ,etc. . my internet was out. . I switched to windstream and I have not missed any work since. . I am very pleased with them. .
I did have trouble after that sm
I visited there as well and that same day I had a terrible time, my computer shut down and stated I had no programs installed, took me all day to get going again, don't go there!!
Trouble too
I have trouble with this too. I'm guessing certain personality types will lean this way with a stay-at-home job.
I know others who don't have any problem with it and are on the go all the time when not workig.
It would probably be good to take a class or join some sort of group so that we have scheduled time away; otherwise it's too easy to stay home even though it isn't good for us.
Anyone have this trouble?
I use lots of Expanders and create more all the time. It's great when I do the same account or two regularly, but during spells of getting more accounts (when my main ones are low) I find I waste time fumbling to see if I have an Expander for things.
I have had to deviate from a normal expansion pattern (in a variety of ways), and as long as I am typing the same several dictators, I get used to the way they speak and my expansions and all the deviations just come automatically. However, when I get tons of other docs saying things in so many different ways, the deviations don't come to me and I fumble. I think I could go faster with more straight type.
I know people say to have expansions for everything, but do any of you have a good way to determine when it's better to just type it out? - I don't think anyone could use 100% expansion (or even 90%), but does anyone have any advice or general thougths on this? 
Thanks so much!
The trouble is, everything is politicized...
For every report of something horrible, there's another one disputing it. I didn't sayh we shouldn't be custodians of the earth, but when one single country is blamed, and by its own citizens yet (especially when THEIR man is NOT in office) without taking into account the pollution that comes from places like China and India and Brazil, or Europe for that matter which doesn't even use unleaded gas (last time I heard), then I refuse to get too worked up. We can't even have a hurricaine without somebody bringing up global warming. Do YOUR research and you'll see that nothing unusual is happening that hasn't happened before, long before greenhouse gases were a problem. This earth has reinvented itself more than once, and long after we're gone, it will still be here going strong.
Trouble with docqscribe
I can't log on either and I have been on hold with 888-dictate for over 45 minutes.
I guess my doc would be in trouble.
I was recently in the hospital which happens to be the same hospital I work at and we do not outsource at all. We have our own MTs. If the doc needed to get the HP, OP note and DS done that he did on me and the report had to be done by an MT that doesn't know me then he would be in trouble because all the MT knows me. LOL. I do trust my co-workers and we are all aware of HIPPA and confidentiality. We only get reminded once a month.
