I totally agree with you. the more money
you have, the more publicity and effort will be given to you. Look at the horrible things that go on daily in every community that nobody ever hears about unless you 'know someone'. Everybody that they have looked at, etc, will walk. If she would have drown they would have found her belongings (suitcase, purse, etc.) I feel someone definitely did something to her, even if unintentionally, and has done a great job covering it up. I know as a mother, I would be devistated not knowing what actually happened and hard telling how long before I would be in a rational state of mind.
You know, people are totally spoiled now
When I started out we worked on typewriters (do you know what those are?)- some had correcting tapes - you hit the backspace and typed the same mistake, took that off and then you backed spaced again and continued typing. On the first several computers we had no spellchecking at all. Where I learned we had to have less than 3 errors (either medical or English) on a page before we could get production pay. Our work was much, much better than what I see just being posted on here with the misspellings, etc. I use spellcheck now but only because, first of all required and secondly just makes me feel better but not a crutch for me in any way.
Parents: Are your kids spoiled? sm
For instance, do they do chores that are age appropriate, do their own homework, get themselves up in the morning and ready for the day if they're older than say age 10? Here's how it works in our house:
6-year-old: Responsible for cleaning her room, feeding her fish and bunny rabbit and her bathroom each week. Puts dirty clothes into the hamper and puts up clean clothes except those that have to be hung, which we do since she's not tall enough. Likes to mop the kitchen floor so we let her do that. Does her own homework after I make sure she remembers the directions.
15-year-old: Has to clean her own room and bathroom - alternates the bathroom cleaning with the 6-year-old since they share a bathroom. If she cooks anything that's not a meal for everyone she has to clean up after herself. She's now learning to do laundry - my DH always took care of that for her in the past or her mom did, but I've forced the issue that she can do her own laundry now that she's 15. Also has to do her own homework without help from us. For instance, while doing English she commonly asks for the meaning of a word. I tell her to go to webster.com and look it up or grab the dictionary - which is how we learned as kids. Also her dad (and bio-mom) used to help do her homework by looking up stuff and writing the answers which she'd re-write but that stopped while we were dating as I got him to realize that he wasn't helping her by doing this and she needed to do her own school work and not whine to get him to help. She is also required to get herself up and out the door for school in the morning, on time, and knows that if she oversleeps and misses the bus because she's goofing off then she gets no PC or TV privileges for the day. It only took her 1 time of missing the bus to learn to get up on time.
What about your household?
What a lot of these brats need is SM
a good paddling. What happened to an adult-centered household? Now, all the kids are expressing every dumb thought they have, they have NO MANNERS, they're rude and unmanageable. Of course, this is the parents' fault, but if the school can get them to behave with the threat of a paddle, GREAT.
Totally understanding. Our kids grow up and we have no choices.
My dear friend just called me yesterday crying because her daughter is living with her partner and the partner is pregnant. The daughter is sooo happy, the mother cried. So what you're describing is happening more than where you are and it is saddening. What can she do, nothing. Our kids whether we like it or not grow up and jump out to make their own choices. Some of these choices are "you can't tell me what to do anymore!" And, we have no choice but to live with it. So the choices then become to be miserable OR focus on your own life and work on making yourself happy in spite of what your kids put you through. You have a life, don't let your kid drown it out because of his poor choices. You may think who am I to say such a thing, I'm the mom whose son made poor choices and went to jail, I'm the mom whose daughter chose to abort my first grandbaby, I'm the mom whose son left his wife and kids after almost 10 years of marriage. I really do know how you feel. Find some joy for yourself in your life, you won't find it when you're looking at his.
My QA has 3 kids and works ALL day long!
You do what you have to do!
I totally understand that money does not fall from the sky....sm
What I was asking was if anyone had any suggestions on how to "make" money not it fall from the sky...Good grief!
When you kids want money, don't give it to them and say, 'I thought you said
/
Parents - do you have your kids save money? sm
Our children have savings accounts and know that 33% of any money they earn from doing extra chores, babysitting, given as gifts, has to go into their savings account. Do you have your children save money and if so, what are the rules at your house for this?
I totally agree
This is a 10-year-old girl, not a mass murderer. She is in a lot of pain, having suffered a most significant loss, and is trying to reach out, not always in positive ways, but the flowers are wonderful. Where they came from does not matter. PLEASE do not read anything nefarious into her actions.
She needs help, and smiles, and maybe a hug when she is ready.
Fear is a terrible thing, particularly when it turns normally rational folks into masses of paranoid jelly. I despise that we have come to this.
I agree with you totally, thank you!
I totally agree with you..
I have been editing work that would just BLOW YOUR MIND. On top of mispelled and misused words, we have bad grammar and punctuation and then typing something different than what the doctor says and if you read it, it doesn't make sense. For example, I cam across this yesterday, "which was done when he was very-very young apparently a ditch is inspected." He actually said "which was done when he was very, very young. Apparently, it did get infected." I come across contractions, etc. This gal actually argued that her scores are always 98%. There were so many redlines on her work, I might as well have scrapped it and typed it myself. I don't know if this is due to schools or not, but when I was a newbie, I don't remember making that bad of mistakes!!!
Thank you, I agree totally
Get over it already. They cheated you, are cheating you. You MUST like it if you stay and continue to be treated that way. How many other MTs have had a bad job???? Trust me you guys at MQ are NOT the only ones. There are TONS of jobs out there. Go get one, that is what the rest of us do. Go do it.
I so totally agree sm
I posted my resume on MT Stars a couple of years ago and, like you, I was flooded with calls. The company I selected, I didn't even know existed. I have been a very happy camper for 2 years, plenty of work, decent pay, great tech support, wonderful people who make you feel like "family." Best move I ever made.
I think maybe the reason why people keep allowing themselves to be used and abused by companies with sporadic work is the known versus the fear of the unknown factor. Believe me, the stress of starting a new job is small potatoes compared to never knowing you will have enough in your paycheck to cover the bills!
I totally agree with you!!
I have stuff come up on my screen that just blows me away. Most of it could be fixed if they just read over their work and saw that the sentences do not make sense.
VERY WELL SAID!! Totally agree with you!!

I TOTALLY agree with you...
What looks cute and hip on a 20-year-old just looks cheap and classless on a 50-year-old. I'm 45, so I'm not some young thing poking fun at middle-aged women. Older women can look very classy and actually YOUNGER if they "dress their age" and by that I don't mean mumurs and bedroom slippers or stretch pants and sack-like tops. When I dress up I might wear a nice tailored pinstriped suit or something like that. I do NOT go out in anything from the junior department. There's a reason for "junior" clothing and it's not size, it's the style of fashion. To all the women who disagree with you, I'm afraid the notion that older women look young and cute in daisy dukes, a belly shirt, and a navel piercing comes from those who dress that way " thinking" they look hot, not necessarily the opinion of others in general.
I totally agree with you. sm
We never went on vacation with our kids and left them with grandparents to come back and find out that our own lack of parenting resulted in somthing that our own kids may have been doing behind our backs all along.
Give me a break. Blame it on gramma? How about staying home with your kid and taking a good look around to realize that he's the one that's hiding things, not your MIL.
There is obviously a lot of hatred between DIL and MIL here.
Message for you mom, "get a grip." This stuff doesn't all happen because their at gramma's for the week. You're obviously doing something wrong here. Forget your "vacations." and your "rules" and be there for your kids. Teenagers LIE. It's been going on for centuries.
You can go on "vacation" when they're all grown up and gone. By the sounds of your message, I would say the sooner they go, the better.
I agree totally.
sm
I totally agree! Thank you!
The people who are criticizing seem to think that the president can just snap his fingers and immediate help will appear. There are people all over the country who are going there to help, donating money by the thousands, etc., and nobody says anything positive about that. Nobody could have predicted a disaster such as this and it takes time to get things rolling, but it IS being done.
I totally agree
Many physicians, young and old, are not on the technology coat tails. They have absolutely no interest in changing the way they do things. I think that as long as using this technology does not become an across the board required mandate by some governing agency, transcriptionists will be in high demand until doomsday.
totally agree

Totally agree with you
He always was respectful and nice to everyone, a good guy but when he sang, it was a different Marty. I only tuned in to see him perform and then would change the channel. He reminded me of an Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam when he sang with so much angst. Loved it!
I totally agree. sm
I used to be married to a hunter. The whole idea felt wrong to me and I hate guns. I haven't had to deal with hunting or guns for 20 years now.
I'm sure I will get blasted by some NRA people for saying I hate guns, but oh well. 
i agree totally
I have taught children who were mainstreamed in 5th grade who wanted to do extracurricular activities. Social skills are lacking. Around here, they test them and sometimes they have to be put in a lower grade. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and look within. Some behavioral problems are learned responses to what is going on at home. What is the attitude towards authority in the home? See other avenues.
Totally Agree
I would prefer to work for a little bit less money and have a wonderful boss than get paid a ton and hate my job.
I work for 7 cents per line now and I don't mind it at all. I have a wonderful boss and love my job.
I totally agree
Recently I switched to being an editor, I have only been in transcription for 6 years and really feel like it is not a good profession. We are all treated like robots, whether it be an Editor or a transcriptionist!!
I totally agree. This is the only job I have
ever had that you have to take a "test" for the job. Usually, you just interview and if the person doing the hiring knows what they are doing, they can tell if you can handle the job or not. They know what questions to ask, etc just to see what you know. The length of the testing for MT has become quite ridiculous.
totally agree with this.
report after report, different account each time, hard to be productive like that.
I totally agree!
Your 16 years of experience has obviously not taught you that there are many different situations in this field that make switching from account to account very difficult. As the previous poster stated, specifics for accounts can involve much more than formatting, oftentimes involving individual physician specifics, just one point that makes your "docs are docs are docs" theory ridiculous. Multiply this by 5 or 6 accounts, each having totally different platforms, 50 doctors dictating, half of which are ESL's. You stated "As an MT you should be able to transcribe any doc out there". Really? I would love to test you on a 45 minute arterial bypass graft report transcribed by a doctor right off the boat from Turkey. Your holier than thou attitude is ignorant, insulting and argumentative.
Yep, I totally agree. nm

Yes-- I totally agree!

Agree totally -
There is no pleasure in the holiday for me anymore. The holiday is nothing but a pain in the butt. I put up a 2 foot fiber optic tree for about a week, and that's it. If he wants to decorate outside, fine. If not, that's all I do, besides wrap the gifts and bake for Christmas dinner. Enough is enough. All the years of decorating, putting it all away alone, and cleaning up ...I'm done. If they canceled the holiday, it would be fine with me. Doesn't mean what it's supposed to anymore anyway.
I totally agree
When my adult children are here, I feel a need to stop working for short periods of time to go to the mailbox, cook, take out the garbage, etc. An MT is out his/her best when we hit that "flow"...you know when your fingers are flying in sync and your voice player is on above 100%...but you need to stay in the flow.
When I was on an acute care account, I also did voice recognition and dictated what I was hearing in my headset to save my fingers with a better line count than by using my fingers (never got above 350 with voice, though, as I left the account before I could get higher BUT I was doing this for more than 50 docs).
Having an ergonomic environment does contribute to better productivity as your hands, back, legs, everything feels better and it is easier to get into your flow. After 25 years of keyboarding, I only have tired muscles in my hands but no symptoms of carpal tunnel (TYG). I really do encourage people to take advantage of abbreviation Expanders if for no reason other than to save their hands so they can still open jars when they are still in their 50s.

I totally agree
The person who made the statement first said 'I don't think he likes women'. To me, this was a lot more tactful that when people started using the 'G' word. I am SURE that he will not appreciate this.
I totally agree!
I'm sure it will be endorsed by the PBR and the PRCA-- NOT! For those of you in the "blue states", that stands for the Professional Bull Riders and the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. Nobody I know would waste their time or their money to see such drivel. It only appeals to the liberals.
I totally agree with you!!
I am trying my best to get out of this business. I have anxiety myself and it has been exaggerated by this profession. I do not think it is healthy to be in isolation. Even God saw Adam was lonely therefore He created Eve. So, I just got started with an at home business. You have contact with people selling a product. The website is TheFreshAirShop.com. This is a true at home business.
I totally agree!!
:-)
Totally agree
I think my previous docs are just realizing that... I only had one who did not want EMR who said from the beginning... "My time is worth more $$$, so why am I doing work that I used to pay office staff to do??? I still have contacts who work there so I get the inside scoop... it's not all it was cracked up to be!
I totally agree.
When she posted a few days ago asking about what to do about her truck and posting the amount of her payment, someone advised her at that time that she should not be posting her personal affairs here. She asked the administrator to delete the posts and the admin deleted them. Now she's back here doing the same thing. It's scary to think that someone who seems so unstable, mentally, is responsible for a child.
I totally agree too.
The kid can't help what he looks like. You could see he was very uncomfortable with that split screen. Ryan should have more sense. I don't like him anyway. I hope this kid gets a lot of votes and goes far. I am also annoyed with Paula, and I think most of the time Simon is right on when it comes to the singing ability. Sometimes I think Randy and Paula are too nice to some of the contestants.
I totally agree with you
I am on your side, if you read my below original post I googled this 3 years ago when I was first alerted to this situation, no need for the links, unless you think others would benefit from them, so many people need to know this information, so thanks for putting it out there in such an in depth way.
I totally agree...sm
And as I said before, I'm a southerner too...doesn't Mandisa have Atl connections, or did I dream that? 
I totally agree - unless you are 100% IC!
I would not want anyone with an infant at home working for me full time!!!
Totally agree
I actually find that story appalling.
What do you do if you totally don't agree with
I'm having a difficult time with a new account. There are many things that are being changed when I know I'm right. I even reasearch and can verify why I do what I do.
What would you do in this situation? I'm going crazy. I'm having a hard time because I can't do something I know isn't correct regarding grammer, medical term spelling, etc.
Help...I'm so frustrated.
I totally agree
But realistically there is a good chance Elliott will go
:-(
I'm in the minority once again because I didn't care for Kat's "Somewhere over the rainbow" AT ALL. I was so shocked when the judges and everyone LOVED IT. I'm not really a Taylor fan but I think he did very well last night, and really played it up to his fan base "Soul Patrol". I think Elliott did OK, but not one of his best nights. I also think he made a mistake with the song that he chose, his last one. I think he should have gone with something more recognizable. Oh well, he will will do well with his CD in his genre.
I TOTALLY AGREE nm

Totally agree - n/m
I totally agree with you KB - sm
If you have not noticed, the Adm. has been keeping after the one you are referring to and eliminating her posts. It is hard to keep up with her though, but I applaud Adm. efforts. This person really loves to antagonize and it is hard not to let her get to you. she got me yesterday and I am still trying to mellow out from her sting. Take it easy. You will be okay, and so will the original poster. we care too.
I totally agree
AND, LOL, I used the old red The Surgical Word Book for MANY years before breaking down and getting this new one several years back. I have quite a few Stedman's for specialities, but TSWB seems to be the one my hands go to first.
