In Reply to: The ADHI is a SCAM organization. Don't give them - -(sm)- Topaz
ADHI is the new name for the AAMT after it was run into the ground. Practices are the same. This organization is suffering and needs members and money. They do not care about the American MT and will sell you out in a second with one hand while taking your money with the other.

LOL - Excellent point Topaz!!
First, I never call customer service at night. Second, if the person is not in the US, and I can usually tell, in spite of their name being "Bob" or "Debbie," I then DEMAND to be transferred to the US. I even ask the person, "Where are you?" They are slippery, but if you hold out you will get there.
Topaz - "cow-pucky?" - Teeheehee- love that! nm

Wow, these ADHI folks are
really not representing the American Transcriptionist at all. I'm really just speechless. I wonder why they're making such unprofessional attacks on the US transcriptionists.
The representative who wrote the response is either uninformed or downright deceitful in stating that the Indian transcriptionists want the CMT credentials just to have them. On the contrary, their employers are using it as a tool to get their feet in the door to get American work.
I'm just curious as to how many of Indian CMTs have been grandfathered in (not required to take any testing because of years of experience) because most of the companies who do work with them have to have US transcriptionists do a lot of heavy editing. If this is the case, then the CMT credential is as worthless as it was 30 years ago. Sad for our industry, really.
I wish some retirees would start up another professional organization for US transcriptionists only <hint hint> 
ADHI, former AAMT......
Exactly, EVERY year ADHI makes its own grammar rules, which are wrong, BTW, to get money, confusing the MTs and QAs, causing a lot of arguments and slowing us down.
If we follow the ADHI's rules, we are going to lose our correct grammar knowledge.
Why support ADHI or whatever they
are called with more money. They do nothing for the US MTs.
Uggh...ADHI are so condescending and
arrogant. Read this first Q&A between a Transcriptionist and ADHI staffer.
It's time for us to find better representation for ourselves. ADHI has become a big business, and its only goal is to keep itself afloat, even if that means throwing the American transcriptionists overboard. I'm joining the ATA....today.
If ADHI gave a rat's @$$ about 'medical record
If their 'cash cow' (India) ever starts to wise up and run dry, like America is doing now, they'll be out of the MT-biz unless they can find another 3rd world workforce to take advantage of.
The ADHI is a SCAM organization. Don't give them
your hard-earned money, ESPECIALLY when the 'renewal' apears to be premature. $100 is far too much to spend for this worthless 'credential'.
It's what you can do ON THE JOB that matters in the end, not 3 letters after your name.
This group's sole purpose for existing (besides a few key execs striking it rich) has been to close down what used to be a good American white-collar, middle-class job, and send it all to India. And you just KNOW they're getting their palms greased by India to make this happen.
Ask them this: If they're set getting everyone 'certified', then shouldn't what you pay for that so-called 'certification' be in direct proportion to what it does for you? Or where most of the work is going these days? The Indians get a discounted rate for their CMT's and RMT's. If you're determined to continue your certification, tell them you want the same deal they're getting in India (and Philippines).
nothing wrong with md saying dump.....sm
although not baby related, there is a diagnosis called dumping syndrome so if this doc said the baby took a dump in his arms and then quieted down, I see nothing wrong with that......
Heck, I just dump it in! sm
I think I used one part (maybe a cup) ice cream and just enough milk to keep it thick (about 1/8 to 1/4 cup) and poured in the chocolate syrup, added the banana and pureed it in my blender. I like my shakes thick so I experimented. If I had too much I poured it in a bowl and ate it with a spoon. I gained weight in a hurry eating them and they tasted better than Ensure. I gagged on that stuff.
this is not the norm, dump them
Really now... nobody checks my work.
I failed to rejoin AAMT aka ADHI four years ago.
Anal retentive MTs are a nightmare. A new group should be comprised of the MTs who have a SENSE OF HUMOR and a SENSE OF THE RIDICULOUS.
Dump him, and get your life back together
Dump him!! Do whatever it takes! Think about your kids and what they will go through growing up around this clod if you stay with him. I was in a similar situation about 16 years ago. Didn't have kids with the BF but he was an alcoholic and prone to violent outbursts. it wasn't easy to dump him because he tried like hell to get back with me, but I was determined to be rid of him and finally he left me alone. You must be determined as well. Make up your mind, stick to your guns, and - this is important - get some family, friend, and pastoral support because you really need it right now. I'm praying for you. Keep us posted.
I had to dump IT. Could not learn it after 6 months.
Went to shorthand,had it down in a few days and it will do everything IT does if you program it that way. Half the price, too.
AAMT ADHI orwhatever they're calling themselves this year...
AAMT ADHI (or whatever they're calling themselves this year) is a conglomerate out to make money ~ like any other business. They lost sight of the basis for their existence long ago. I was a paid member (as were many MTs) until I realized what a waste of my hard-earned money it was. Ultimately, instead of helping the MT they just want to make a sale.
sure there would, some folks dont like to do certain worktypes and will dump all others..

So dump the companies or accounts that won't compensate. (nm)

Even if McAfee shows under security, I'd dump it. sm
A lot of the ISPs nowadays have incorporated Spyware protection, spam protection, popup blockers, etc., so much of what McAfee claims to do is simply not needed. It bogs down your computer and takes up space, and it is next to impossible to get rid of with a simple uninstall. There are two great free antivirus programs, Avast and AVG, though I would spring and buy the profession version if the PC is used for work. Run those in conjunction with Spybot Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware scans and a good firewall, and you should be adequately covered. Do a Google search for a good "techie" forum and ask some questions there. They can give you good advice about each program's pros and cons and what the best combination is for you. Or even call someplace like Geek Squad, though they might charge for advice.
My advice to anyone would be don't add anything to your computer without fully researching it. I speak from experience because I once downloaded a antivirus/antispyware program that was heavily advertised on TV and it ended up crashing my computer. It was a virus itself! Lesson learned the hard way, I tell ya! I now research any new software much like I'd research a company before working for them.
Our local dump takes old computers for disposal for 5 bucks. Try that.

I just dump them in a covered bowl with vinegar and sliced onion. nmx

I pick it up, shake it, and dump the crumbs out. If that doesn't work sm
I email my company and they overnight a new one. I go through keyboards about every three months. They take a beating, but I produce a lot of lines.
