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.

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.
No need to be condescending
I was asking a question, the answer to which I think might be helpful to some. When account guidelines don't include instructions regarding PII, then AAMT guidelines/HIPAA are in order.
However, some accounts I've had and one I still have REQUIRE pt. names in body of dictation when specifically requested, regardless of what HIPAA expects.
Topaz is right, dump ADHI - see msg
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.
There's no need to be snotty or condescending here.
Obviously, the poster knows her financial situation or she wouldn't be worried about foreclosure. Most of us haven't been through the process of foreclosure to know what actually transpires or how long we can stay at the property before it's seized. If you're not going to be helpful, go back to bickering over the missing teen in Aruba. 
Goodness, how condescending! SM
Don't know any better? Really. Do tell.
I've worked in quite a few different jobs and fields over the years - and yes, professional white-collar jobs. I'm happy where I'm at (a large national), thank you very much.
I make good money (VERY good for where I live), benefits are comparable (if not slightly better than most), and I could not ask for better conditions. Pay is ALWAYS on time. My supervisor leaves me alone to work but is there when I need her. I have a HUGE variety of accounts available to me when work is low or when I'm bored with what I'm doing.
Why on earth would I change?
No . . everyone came down on her because of her rude and condescending

Well, my aren't we condescending?

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).
I have no issues at all. I'm just saying that the OP is being condescending and arrogant.
And if there are any issues going on, they seem to be coming from a person who needs to analyze any posts in diagreement with their opinion as if that disagreeing poster must be crazy and that simply isn't the case.
NO! Your condescending comments and downright
You are a piece of work. Why don't you do us all a favor and go back under your bridge. You make me sick.
First of all, you sounded condescending, and secondly YOU WERE YELLING!
And then you accused the other poster of copping an attitude? Maybe you need to take a course, posting etiquette 101. lol
I have no patience for the condescending posts!
I've been lurking here for over a year and I'm amazed how nasty, consdescending and judgemental these people can be! Just like I don't do well with an employer treating me like crap, I don't do well with being "talked down to" by the rude posters on this board.
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.
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.
amen. don't send me condescending atta girl e-mails. i know i do a good job.
i don't need a cheer-leader supervisor to tell me.
