What's the difference if she takes

6 hours to do 8 hours' worth of work, or if she takes a break for 2 hours after she does say 5 1/2 hours, comes back and finishes up her "8 hour" schedule? Would that make you "feel" better? Oy-vey! A day's work is a day's work, but you want ALL of her time. What is the problem? Work ethic? I think not. She has done a FULL days' work in less time than what you would like, so what? If one does 8 hours' work in 6 hours, then anything over her 6 hours would be OT, oh that doesn't count in your book. Would you pay more for her to work OT? I bet not... The only thing she would get for being a good, fast transcriptionist is fired for NOT doing more than her share...niiiiiice... Crazy!

Takes one to think you know one?

Whatever it takes
to remove yourself from that situation within reason, do it. If you think the arrangement with your brother is going to keep your BF from slinking back in, the 'brother' all the way. If his habits change in the future, you'll just have to make necessary adjustments at that time.
Takes one to know one!
I am with the program and I enjoy very much working for MQ!
If people are not spoiled at MQ, then why on earth are they now complaining about having a set schedule? Why don't you get the with the program and look at all the companies that are hiring and when you realize that 90% of those companies want a set schedule, then I will be waiting here for an apology. Until then, go brush your teeth!
As far as being a dope, why the heck are YOU STILL WITH MQ IF THE SUPPOSEDLY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF YOU - HMMMM????
As many as it takes! LOL
If the doctor dictating can't be bothered to dictate away from the gossiping females at the nurses' station, speak clearly and slow down, why should we lose money because they're inconsiderate? It's better than guessing and getting it wrong or just making stuff up. You'll get the hang of the more difficult dictators if you keep on doing them, but even they can't control background noise or static.
you have what it takes to be and are sm
a successful MT! I don't see how anyone could be a good MT with an interest in medicine. Too much of this business about how many lines to type nowadays etc and no interest in medicine, no wanting to do research etc. I have seen several folks like you in my career and hired every one of them. They are still transcribing today and have great careers. I am beginning to think its futile to try and explain this to some folks. They either get it or they don't and want to argue.
Obviously you are a great MT and you know what it takes. I have a couple ophthalmology books and can part with one if you want it. E-mail me!
here's what we did -takes awhile, but
if you have a video camera, tape every car that stops at his place and any transactions you might see (you do not have to be outside to do this - through a crack in the curtains/blinds works) take the tape to the cops - they will handle it. Or maybe they already have him set up on a sting....or are on the take. Where do you live city/state-wise?
Takes a few pp's for deducts to come out.
Yep, filled out paperwork first.
Call your supv or better yet call your training coord or payroll people.
That's what they are there for.
I can't do that because it litterally takes my
breath away. It's like I'm smothering. My aunt had wood heat and I couldn't even visit.
Date? Isn't that where a guy takes you out
And expects to get sex afterward? If you don't cooperate, that's the last time you will ever see him. No thanks-- my furry critters are a lot more loving and faithful and are not the least bit selfish.
It takes a little while to get used to the lingo, sm
but you'll do fine. Just get in some practice before you start on production. BTW, I've noticed over the years that most of the work services get as "overflow" is ortho and OB/GYN.
I have heard that before but the one that takes the
cake is the one who took the recorder to the bathroom with him.
It takes concentration
Just imagine you are Jessica Rabbit - remember the way she walks? LOL
Mine always takes...
the $ out immediately. Most of the time the transactions show up within an hour or two online. There are times when the $ is taken out but the transactions don't show up for several days, sometimes even a week. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Since it is a holiday weekend, they probably took the $ out already and it hasn't shown up yet. 
$22.00 plus tip, takes 1/2 hour nm

Awww, that takes the fun out of it! sm
I look like a little kid when I eat corn. I just love it. I wind up making a meal out of it. I have butter, salt and pepper on my face and don't bother to wipe it until I am done. Terrible, aren't I? But, it is so yummy.
I have just found that it takes sm
so much more that just the actual typing when you gain your own account. You have to deal with the obtaining your money part, and the phone calls for dictation not in place or they misplaced it. It is great, but there are some downfalls to having your own account.
Try ctrl-Z and see if that takes it away.
Meanwhile, i'll research it. :)
It takes time
It probably seems like it is not worth it because you are new. No other account will be easier and probably harder. So you have to stick with it, get a good Expander as since you have the same doctor you should only be actually typing about 2/3 of what he says and probably more like 50%. Use your autocorrect if you don't have an expander. You don't say how long are your lines -- what side margins and what font are you using? I have helped get newbies started and always paid between 7 and 9 depending on how much clean up work I had to do. Again, it will take time and practice. Don't give up. Though 6 cpl is a little low, if it is still 65 character line, in time you should be able to get 200 to 300 lines per hour which is not bad and once you get him down good, ask for a raise. But you have to get your speed up. You have an advantage of having the same doctor and so listen for his common phrases and put them at least into autocorrect so you don't have to retype them. If he doesd any x-rays or procedures, make templates. Anything to save him time. His exams, put into autocorrect, etc. Are you an IC or an employee??? Good luck.
Mine does that too and it is because it takes
so long to expand that I'm typing the next word. No matter how much I adjust my settings it still doesn't expand fast enough. I used PRD for years and got spoiled I guess. It could expand entire physical exams in the time it takes ShortHand to expand COPD.
It takes me about 8.5 hours...
But I do about 1600 lines per day
It's like learning MT all over again. It takes

My mom has RA, takes Arava
Mom has taken Arava for a few years and she is able to function on it quite well. I hope you do well on the meds.
Well, to be fair, many RNs do have what it takes SM
to do well and then some. However, being on the run all shift, supervising underlings and juggling physicans, patients, labs, visitors, and of course all that paperwork, might mislead some of them into viewing it as a nice way to relax in comparison and still get nicely paid for it..! :)
It takes me about 3 hours...sm
but there is a learning curve. If you don't know he account it could take longer.
YES--CP takes precedence over BOS.

It takes awhile...
When I was facing foreclosure it took them over a year to send the vacate letter...I filed for bankruptcy and the bankruptcy was long over before I got the letter.
It takes a lot of talent
to be a good MT. You could do their job better than they could but could they put food on the table doing your job? Noooo! They would die on the vine trying. Most management do not want to see MTs making as much or more money than they do.
Seriously, if they got rid of some of them, we'd all be better off. They cause more trouble especially for good MTs because they feel intimidated by the skill and do not understand it and do not go to bat for us when chips are down. Instead, many times they punish hard-working, top perfromers with unreasonable demands and criticism trying to take them down to their level. Let's pray for better times.
well it takes a lot of nerve to get sm
on this board and tell American MTs how things are and how to do things when you can't speak the language or communicate well. You are suppose to be an MT but you can't speak the language? Well I doubt that the documents you put out are very good either! Sorry but this is the reason American MTs don't have MT jobs so you need to stick to your country and your MTs and stay out of giving advice here. IMHO.......sorry I need to spell that out, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION!
You really cannot see the difference?
When people first started coming to America, it was an undeveloped country. Aside from the Indians, there were no other people living here. What other language was there aside from what the Indians spoke? The new Americans and the Indians learned to communicate with each other and both sides learned the other's language. It only stands to reason, however, that English would be the dominant language, as they became the majority of those living in America.
Also, when our founding fathers came to America, they and the others that then followed made America what it was and is today. THEY are the ones who made America great by the blood, sweat and tears of their families. They had every right to come over here as they were the ones doing all the work!!!!! They did that work to take care of the future generations of Americans.
But now our "powers that be" in the government do not make decisions based on AMERICAN best interests, but for people from other countries. To be politically correct, we have flooded our country with people that want to prosper from OUR WORK. They do not come over here and better America in any way. They better their own little circle of family and actually make life harder for the people who belong here in the first place.
That is the difference between immigrants then and now. The more we let them in now, the more jobs we lose, the higher our bills become, the more terrorism we face. When do WE benefit??????? It has nothing to do with prejudice either. Who cares what they look like, where they are from? It doesnt matter. What matters is what they expect, what handouts they want, the bending of the rules for them while we get no break.
If you are Native American, then I would think that you would be sick and tired of having all you work for taken away from you. I know that I am.
What is the difference from QA and QC TIA

That's the difference between (sm)
preparedness and no plan at all. Shame on LA officials for not implementing their own evacuation plan. Did they really believe a hurricane the size of the Gulf of Mexico wasn't going to be deadly?? If LA officials had followed their own Emergency Operations Plan, most of these senseless deaths could have been avoided.
Same difference, eh?
Don't you think there is a difference between
making a human error and being an inconsiderate pig??? Since they are responsible for these people's records they should go out of their way to be understood. But then again I guess that's our fault too, seeing how the salaries between doctors and transcriptionists (and any other health professional) are so even. Pllllleeeaaassseee. Why don't you send your docs each a Christmas gift for even letting you type their records? They'll stash it right next to all the gifts they get from the medical companies kissing their butts.
no difference
The major concern of IRS is employee versus ic.
EXAMPLE - get 1099 at end of year, you set hours, no benies - IC
EXAMPLE - get W2, punch clock, etc., employee.
As IC, you can deduct all of your business related expenses - i.e., the beauty of small business. Just you, your are a sole proprietor, use Schedule C. Have people under you - several different ways - check out IRS.gov.
There's a difference...
they have a mechanism in place to allow you multiple installs. This only gives you 3.
What is the difference
Can anyone tell me what the difference is between an LX-219 and an LX-219-1. Also what is the difference between a "Basic digital station with backlight" and a "Enhanced digital station with backlight"? Thanks!
I think the only difference with the new law is SM
now you have to complete a credit counseling class, and instead of filing every 6 years, it is 7 or 8, or something like that.
The difference is...
If you want to make more money, then become the business owner, take the risks and then you'll have the additional income. You'll never get rich working for someone else. Complaining and badmouthing management and other business owners never translates into more $$ in the check--sometimes people complain themselves right out of a job.
I know this board is an "open forum" for all topics. It's just unfortunate that so much of the talk is about how terrible management/business owners are. There are lots of good MTSOs out there!
I have never had a difference between say - sm
an OP note versus a H&P or DS, or ER note. I have seen offered diffrence in pay between clinic versus acute care work; clinic is less since it is easier. I have only ever been paid a flat rate, 2 jobs with incentive pay (.005 to .01 more a line over so many lines a day). I have 2 IC jobs now that is flat rate period, regardless of number of lines or when you work them (had a job years ago that sometimes would pay .01 more a line over the weekend but only when they got out of TAT, but that was they only time they would ever do that). Good luck finding an IC job that pays more for the more difficult reports; most likely few and far between.
Okay. That is probably the difference
We are not an MTSO, we are employees of the facility working out of our homes. I will keep track of the e-mails though as you have suggested.
I do believe though that it is more or less passing the buck. That way if it was supposed to be in there and it wasn't the doc has someone else to blame. Thanks everyone.
I don't know that there is a difference, but...sm
I wanted to keep all my things in one place so if I could send the word autocorrects to ShortHand without having to spend the time retyping them all it would be great.
Okay, but what is the difference?
What can an Expander do for me that I am unable to do with Word? (Other than spell Mickey Mouth...heehee)
thanks for the replies!
The only difference in now and then is
way "back then" they probably had a little more upbringing where they said urinate instead of the word you used. I think they called it class?
I don't think there's a difference between the 2...
I've done both and never noticed a difference, just company calling you a subcontractor instead of IC. Maybe just a preference on their part? There's obviously a difference between these 2 and being an employee.
I don't think there is a difference
no difference
I was a sub IC at one time and it made no difference tax-wise than being a regular IC. You're just getting paid by the contractor instead of the client directly.
There is a difference
I do notice a big difference working in InScribe in upload/download time and reliability. There are copies of the dictations on both ends while I work, but I can see that only getting half a file and having dial-up bomb out would not be a good thing (and frustrating, at the very least, for me). Besides the reliability and speed, it's just one of those things....it just IS a requirement. I don't think about it, just use what I'm told to use, and write it off.
There's a difference between
If you think she takes all the easy work, then you take it all one night. It will all come to fruition when that starts happening. Stop being so childish, and take the work and do it. I'm sorry, but your post sounds like a 2-year-old that is telling in the 4-year-old who took the last cookie! Maybe I'm grumpy, but my gosh, put on your big girl panties and tell 'em like it is! Karma is for people who are malicious in their intent. You don't sound malicious, but you do sound like you sort of have your nose in someone else's business. If the cherry picking is tolerated, then do some of your own cherry picking and see what happens. 
Can any one tell me the difference between...
eScription and ExText/ExSpeech. I think Dictaphone administers both, but I think their ExText/ExSpeech platform is horrible. ExText locked up at least twice a night (requiring a reboot) before I went to ExSpeech. Now that I am in ExSpeech, the footpedal freezes (requiring a reboot), and the ExSpeech platform takes a week-long holiday every month or so, so if you are a VR editor, you still have to try to make Expanders and learn the traditional authors for that little bit of downtime.
Is the eScription platform any better? My company has both, but I do not want to go through the trouble of learning a new platform and new accounts for the same crap I am already experiencing.
Sorry if I seem rude, it is just 3 weeks before Christmas, and I do not need the hassle of finally having work and the #@%$ platform does not work properly.
There is a difference between...
being realistic and pessimistic, tactful and rude. I personally prefer to offer an optimistic viewpoint and hope that she takes the advice and builds a great business. We need more good MTSOs.
Actually the difference is this.....sm
Offshoring is sending the work overseas.
Outsourcing is when a hospital or clinic outsources their work to a transcription company. :)
