Well if I'm gonna dream I'm gonna dream big! hehe
Now can we please throw away ....
the AAMT Book of style for Medical Transcription - or better yet, send all of our copies to India. They will need them more than we will. We have at least been through grammar school and now that the AAMT book is full of flaws, but because the industry standard is to follow the Book of Style we have had to compromise our teachings by our own education system to do what the "Book" says. YUCK - I have hated that book. My aunt was an University English teacher - way smarter than anyone who wrote that book. I call her for clarification.
Yes, and I believe the responses were to throw the bum out
if he gets even the tiniest bit annoying. We also can't forget the comments about having a man support us, not having to work and being told what to do.
I might as well throw my opinion in there. sm
There have been so many opinions posted, I might as well give you MY best advice: Call your husband and talk to him. Just be honest. Tell it to him exactly like you told us - that you and the kids have really been missing him and were looking forward to seeing him, and that you were kind of hurt when he said not to come. Be honest with him, and give him a chance to be honest with you. Actually listen to his reasons and try to understand his line of thinking. At the very least, you'll have let him know how you feel, and he deserves to know that and have the chance to explain away your fears. The posters below don't know you, or your marriage, and that's OK because they were trying to help. But bottom line is this - he's your husband and you love each other for a reason. He's not going to want you to spend the next days/weeks feeling bad and he'll take the time to make you feel better.
Don't throw in the towel yet.
I know things may not seem positive right now but look at counseling as a possible way of turning this all around. Try to get your husband interested in a hobby or something. It sounds as though he has no zest for life anymore. If he is not happy with himself it can cause problems in your relationship.
To throw a statement out such as a
single mother just means, again, nothing more than a person working, same as a divorced mother or father but you know, you never hardly hear that term, do you? People don’t go around saying I am a married mother as they do with I am a single mother. I will say again, to me that denotes just another person in the work force, nothing more, nothing less. Seems like you went off the deep end trying to make something out of the fact that I said 1 person working is just like another. No favoritism for anyone in the work field.
put the throw rugs back. nm

Actually, throw out the BOS and use the physician's preference.
I learned that disc is eyes, disk is computer disk, and disc/disk for back is up to the account preferences. The doctors do not care what some stupid AAMT BOS book says because it's THEIR notes and they aren't regulated by the AAMT.
When is it time to throw in the towel entirely?
It doesn't work for me to be a fulltime employee for a big national. However, it doesn't work to be an IC for a small MTSO either. The obvious middle of the road would be SE for a medium sized company. However, it seems like that just takes the bad from employee and combines it with the bad from IC. I wonder if I'll ever find a good place to work. I should just bag MT entirely. I know I'm not the best MT or employee. I'm not perfect. There are a lot better MTs out there. I'm not all that bad either. Maybe I could make a living posting stupid auctions on ebay. 
I do not keep anything - pretty much give it away or throw it away.
I have no piles of anything around. I am a neat and tidy "freak". As far as finances, I keep a check book, but could not tell you where every penny went or is. As long as I am within $200 from the actual balance +/-, I am happy. I use MAC card for everything, don't keep much cash in hand, and pay my bills on line most times.
I have a stress free life most days, other than the daily little peaks and valleys related to work. Our family just lives life and we don't sweat the small stuff. It is simple once you get the hang of it. You need to learn to "let go" of "stuff" whether it be monetary things or emotional controlling issues. Be carefree sometimes and just live life to the fullest and stop worrying what anything is "worth". Some things are only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it, and in most cases, it is not much!
I am happy giving things away if someone can use them. It makes your heart feel good to help somebody out once in a while.
So, get rid of all of the "stuff" you have piled up and live carefree for a while. Let me know how it goes! You will be much happier!
Yes - hubby is the pack rat. I throw everything that is not being used out.
After I read the newspaper, it is in the trash. Nothing sits around. Hubby would save everything; however, he works shift work, so when he is at work, I toss things in the trast. My home is neat and clean and everything is in its place all of the time!
Taught my 2 teens to be the same way - Love neat and clean and organized!
My home is not enjoyable if crap is everywhere - in my opinion.
Yes, as below and throw in some black olives
Don't mind me, I just need to throw a little fit and gripe a little!
I HATE HATE HATE this dictator. This is how he dictates if I were to strictly adhere to the verbatim rules of transcribing:
PROCEDURES PERFORMED: Cysto, retro, uretero with stent placement.
INDICATIONS: This is a lady who had perc litho by Dr. X. She had a perc tube. She had a nephro stent. On the pull of the nephro stent, did an antegrade nephro and apparently had obstruction in the ureter which was a probable stone. She was set up for a cysto retro Friday, but she ate, so she was set up for this morning. She understands the risks, options, complications, etc.
HE DRIVES ME INSANE! He has a very conversational style of dictating that makes it incredibly hard to make sense of his reports! He abbreviates everything, makes up his own words, and has been known to dictate one-word sentences!!!!!
We need a firing squad for dictators like this! 
Breath in, breath out. Okay, I'm finished now. I'm just having one of those days, crappy dictators, communication channels between my brain and my fingers have broken down, and I just need a nap!
Back to work.
Please tell me you are worth working for. That you don't throw
don't only have mush mouths for dictators, that you are not difficult to work for and put ridiculous requirements on us. I have worked for several people who boasted how wonderful their company, pay was great, but ended up having a slow platform, client specifics the size of telephone books, not enough work and being pushed off onto other accounts that only slow me down even more, to the point that I make practically no money. Then, on top of that, told that oops my paycheck was going to be late, or it bounced, and given endless excuses. The door swings both ways doesn't it?
You might throw some visual aids in there too.
l
throw a blustering, indignant fit, though. Maybe

Just wanted to throw in my 2 cents
On the GoMDT board, the company proveros was offering an internship. The pay was going to be 4 cpl for straight transcription and 2 cpl for editing. Well I have been working now for about 6 months so I am still a newbie but I do have a little bit of experience under my belt now. I was not interested in the internship but I applied so I could test just to see what the test was going to be like. This is for an internship, MTs fresh out of school with no experience, so they have no idea what it is like to be working for an MTSO. I get the test and it's one of those test voice files from the site that a lot of MTSOs use as their testing site, which IMO all of those tests are horrible and I cringe when I try to start taking one of them. Of course, the file sounds horrible. There are a lot of words that I can't make out. The voice quality is horrible compared to where I work at. I do my best and leave blanks for the words I can't make out. And you know what? I failed the test. lol It just boggles my mind. Why are they making a test so difficult and hard for newbie mts? I could understand if this was for a company that requires exp., but this is for an internship. It just shows how unfair this profession is to people trying to break into it. 
HEY, Throw this poor dog a bone?
I am a "newbie", been looking for MT opportunity with no luck. I would gladly take one of the jobs you didn't like, just for the experience......
At this time, I would just like a job doing Mt but beginning to think this was a mistake.....definitely must not be the same as it used to be.....
AND they are trying to throw in more nit-picky things about what this doc wants...
and this doctor always needs to go to QA and this resident needs an extra signature line and make sure the visit you selected was at the right place and be sure to change this worktype for this doctor because we cannot teach him to do it and we can't tell this doctor that worktype 800 is really not an EEG because we don't think he'll get it and no we can't get the software to recognize a visit ID when its entered and no you cannot start the audio in the document information screen so you can verify the patient and please automatically know when the doctor gives one name at the beginning of the dictation and a different one at the end who he is really typing about and take the following VR sentence and make it a lucid part of a medical report - CT scan guided biopsy performed February refills banding is without mucus brain which is negative.
My VR plan is quickly shaping up like this...take a 20-hour a week job at the local nursing home for full health insurance benefits and find an IC job doing transcription for supplemental income and repeat year after year until ready to be in nursing home.
Yes, I like to keep things and my husband likes to throw everything out
To me, either keep it, sell it, or give it to charity. He just wants to throw it all out. Sentimental things I do like to keep though. Are you the need one or the pack rat? I just have a problem letting go of things that we might someday use though. I look at it like this, why go and spend the money on it in the future if it can just be stored away until then :)
LOL! Let me just get my steamin' cuppa java to throw!
Seriously, though, H, you are so right. My family were all healthcare support workers (engineering, housekeeping, etc.) and my dad calls hospitals "the shrine of the physician" where all other staff are expected to worship at the altar of their godhood with the VPs and dept. heads expected to lead all the worship services.
Makes me want to throw the computer away and start over

Don't throw up hands in resignation, EDUCATE
yourself. Immigration has been made into a HUGE issue to distract you from what you should REALLY be concerned about: FOREIGN POLICY. If Americans would sacrifice the 30-60 minutes they waste on TV garbage on any given night and actually PARTICIPATE in their own democracy, they'd be shocked and outraged to know WHERE AND WHAT their tax dollars are actually spent on...
Immigration IS a problem, but NOT in the way we've been led to believe.
Okay, lets just throw aside the fact he lives
xx
Just wanted to warn her not to throw good
ADHI sux.
DD is a 1st grade teacher, and is ready to throw in the towel
already - not because of the kids, but because of the interferring parents (mothers) who cannot bear to let "little Suzie" out of the nest, cuz, you know, she is my baby, so I want to be with her as much as I can. She thinks these mothers cause more harm psychologically for the kids that anyone realizes. They lose coping skills, other kids make fun of them for being a big baby, and they lose all identity. Can't these mothers get a life away from the kid's school? She has 3 or 4 that think they know everything and are constantly interrupting her to "correct" her way of teaching. She is not a new teacher, has been teaching for over 10 years now and is rated one of the top teachers in this area.
I've also been known to throw a party for the littlest things...sm
1. Son's 1st soccer game.
2. 1/2 parties. You know. My son is turning 4-1/2, so come and join us for a party!
3. Husband's coming home party (he was only gone for a month).
4. Come and meet my mom party (she lives in another state).
5. Of course ALL the big parties: Baby showers, (never done a wedding shower), graduations, retirements.
6. Hunting parties. If your husband hunts, come on over and join us for lunch with the kids so we can talk about how lonely it is during deer season.
So, any major occasion is a big occasion....You don't even want to know what Christmas is like over here.
Amen to that sister. Meant to type throw not through. NM

Also, be careful that little girl/parents don't throw something toxic in your yard sm
for the puppy too eat. Sad, but a lot of sickos out there.
From one who worked for MQ nearly 18 years, no matter was MQ bone they throw out, I know with a full
Always has been, always will be.
YOU gather up his belongings and throw them out your window onto the curb, or in the driveway, or
wherever. Down to the last razor blade! It is highly unlikely that your husband will gather all of Loser Dude's belongings and bring them back into your house. Dude will gather up his Loser Belongings and find another place to be a hospitality sucking leach. (leech?) Good riddance. Just DO it! And if you have one molecule of sympathy in your brain for this Loser, then you need to go to therapy. You have gone above and beyond the call of duty, nice lady.
Okay, I'm gonna try to help
First, you can't be all things to all people. Not meaning to sound nasty or hateful, but with 3 kids under 5, you can't possibly do a good job either as a mother or as an employee. With 1 kid under 5, possibly; with 2 under 5 maybe, but 3, no way, no how. I know this because I raised 4. 1 was okay, 2 would be okay but you add the 3rd one (any 3rd one) and POW. Constant.."he hit me....well SHE hit me first....I hit him because he looked at me," I'm sure you know the drill. If you don't know what I mean yet because of their age, trust me, you will.
You can have the best of both worlds though. Either hire someone to come in while you are working or put those babies in daycare during your working hours. You will be there when they need you and you have the flexibility to attend school functions, take an afternoon off to spend with them and just take them to the park, etc. etc. Plus you can devote full attention to your job during those hours.....well, as much as anyone can, since the majority of people who aren't in the know think we stay home and some nice company just sends us a paycheck every couple of weeks because they like us. And they want to "work"for the same company we "work" for. :)
Just to add a funny, I moved once to another state and later learned that thenew neighbors were gossiping behind my back, they KNEW I was having an affair with the UPS driver because he came to my house at the same time every day. hahahaha
Now I'm sure there are going to be mom's who say you CAN do your job with the kids. I say that if you wouldn't consider taking your very young children to the office and do your job, don't expect to do at home what you can't do at the office. Adding to your stress at home, who stops and fixes lunches? Who stops and changes diapers? Who settles arguments? dtc. etc. etc.
I told someone before you could work with children underfoot and I'm sure someone will remind me of that so I'll go ahead and explain. I said you could work with the kids underfoot and you can.....provided you have some help. Even with help, as the Head MOM you'd still have plenty of interruptions but it wouldn't be continuous.
What's she gonna do if U don't have one?
Call the Spelling Squad on U? 
911, this is an emergency...I have an MT who....

I'm gonna have to ask that question.
NM
Definitely gonna try that!! Hungry already!
nm
OK. I'm gonna go for it. I still have the book, so
I'm going to read it again thoroughly and then start after I've finished it. I remember how great I felt and I also remember my BP going down. This time I have to stick with it though. I noticed on their web site that they now have classes and chat rooms, so that should help, too. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. If you have any more hints or input about it, please feel free to clue me in. Thanks again!
Heres-a-what-i'm-gonna do
I just went to the bank and took out enough money to last me a week away from home. I am leaving tomorrow - pills in hand - just enough OxyContin to wean the way someone suggested and enough other stuff to help with the withdrawals - phenergan and xanax - plus my blood pressure medicine, as it tends to go up if I wait too long between the OxyContin pills. I am going to drive to a place about 2 hours from my home and check into a motel - it is right next to a large teaching hospital - so if I get in trouble - I will have a place to go. This is all hurting me and my family so much that the only way I can do it is to do it without them. They won't miss me for at least 3 hours and by that time I will be settled in and ready for the fight. I will post again to let you all know how it goes. Thanks for everyones input and help - I really appreciate it. Hopefully by next week I will be able to think clearer and be able to remember what happened five minutes before. Thanks to you all.
I'm gonna seem picky here...
Anybody have any ideas for appetizers that are simple, quick, and relatively cheap? I know I'm particular, but I'm not a good cook, don't have much time or money!! This is just for a card game, so I don't want anything extravagant anyway. Thanks bunches!
Well, then I am gonna be more demanding
as some of these posts seem to be. There is not 1 single person that I know of, have ever known of, probably will ever know of that has a company pay them to come into the office to work. If a traveling salesman, I could see that but more likely a company could hire plenty of others who are glad to show up and have a job rather than thinking it was their place to pay for gas. I still find that post AMAZING.
I am gonna have to get to work
so will have to make do until hopefully someone can helpp me. I know how to zoom in and out with control and mouse so will use until later. Thanks!
ever gonna be fast enough?
Oh boy! I can only hope to ever move so fast I burn up a keyboard!
I'm gonna say no. I tested by...
running adaware, superantispyware and spybot, cleaned everything out and then came only on this site. Clicked around for a while, posted a couple times and ran my scans again. Nothing came up, so I'm going to say no I guess. I always have Spyware of some sort when I run my scans, but I visit so many sites a day I have no idea where they come from.
I'm gonna go crazy!!
I've been typing all day and I told my boss i would for sure finish these last two reports tonight. I feel like i'm gonna go crazy typing! I just don't want to type anymore but I know i have to! does anyone else have days like this? I have to think about the $$$$$ and how good I will feel when it's all done!
im gonna doubt it
I can't tell you for sure, I am assuming you mean editing? If that is the case, Who KNOWS how much stuff you will actually have to change and what your line rate will actually end up per hour you know? Unfortunately these things have to be done and then figured out...
I'm gonna say what the clients say - oh, boy, ANOTHER one, ick. NM
.
No, someone that's posting that sounds like its gonna be bad! Not you!!
And its not me!! Who is it?
Still laughing my ... off and now im gonna work
