In Reply to: don't do annual but do big trips every few years. Last year went to Africa including safari - sm
but we've haven't done anything THAT adventurous! I was just talking to one of my sons tonight and we were discussing where we should "go" next. We've done Disneyworld (twice), we've done Universal Studios, and we go to the gulf of Mexico about 3 times a year since it's pretty close. My husband and I just priced and went and looked at a few RVs. We are thinking of taking the boys on a cross-country RV trip. But Africa? Wow!
I loved how you mentioned about the orphanage and vocational school. I am a Christian and have been seriously praying about doing a mission somewhere, but I have to be able to take my family (5 in total). God has lay it upon my heart to do a foreign mission, I'm just not sure where yet. Also, my husband is the primary breadwinner so I'm not sure how that would all work out!
I'm so glad to see other MTs doing things other than MTing! If any MTs are out there reading this and you haven't taken a vacation, I have some advice for you: MAKE IT A PRIORITY. Yes, it won't be easy. Yes, you may not be able to afford it right now. But save! Save up and make it a point to go SOMEWHERE you want to go - whether it would be the mountains or the beach, or whatever.
There are so many affordable ways to get away nowadays! We did Disney with 2 adults and 3 kids for 5 days for under 1000 dollars! I'm serious!

LMAO!!!
eScription--impressive
Impressive! The owner responded himself.
Incidentally, I really like editing with eScription. I would never go back to the old way.
She spoke at my graduation. A very impressive woman! nm

Whoa! and the 16 yo's dad allows this tx of his dau????
I wish you the best - you need some change in your luck.
Maybe karma will change for you once you are away from his insanity.
Will the house be closer to your possible hospital job?
Whoa!
Excuse YOU, IMHO, but I'm paid to transcribe their work, not warehouse it. When the day comes an account wants to pay me for storage/warehouse fees, fine, but until that time, if they want something after we've parted business ways, my fee is $50.00 per hour, billed in 15-minute increments. That means if they have me do something that takes two minutes of my time, they pay me for it FIRST before they receive the goods, so two minutes of my time equals $12.50!  Sorry that rankles you, but that's just the way it is.
Whoa there
If she did contact them, that's a breech of confidentiality. However, I would just write her off as a bad experience, send her $100 and be grateful you ended the relationship early. Enclose a note that asks her not to use you as a reference in the future because you be obligated to report her breech of confidentiality to any potential employer.
However, I would contact the client and ask if they are satisfied with your service, if there is something you can do to improve their experience with you. Just open a diaologue.
Whoa
So you'll be happy to accept the same wage with your $950 house payment as somebody who lives in a foreign country and pays, say, $40 a month, or whatever their reality is. Our system is completely different from theirs. Ours is more expensive. We pay high taxes for services our government supplies. Mixing our economies in this unfair way (with all the tax advantages the foreign companies are awarded), is completely unreasonable. This administration is giving away the American way. If our forefathers could come and see what's going on, they would be livid, IMO.
Whoa, YOU are the melting one..
Whoa, what a whack job.
What are you sick? Who says, I wonder what their employers would think of this? You really are Amish or just plain naive. And you probably think that no one smokes marijuana or drinks either. Your boss probably does. Please, if you are that old, retire already. You are showing your age and it is making me scared for myself when I get to be that old. I hope I don't act like you. Please, lighten up!
whoa baby!!!!
I might have to get one for myself
whoa did you ever MISINTERPRET.....sm
I was talking about uncouth in that someone chose to bring up his sexual orientation.....I'm not the least bit down on gay people....*some of my best friends.....* ya know that saying?
The people who choose to bring up anybody's sexual orientation, especially while the person is NOT present....lack class.
And you cannot say he is an *anonymous person behind a computer* - I mean, after all that he contributes on these boards, you have the audacity to say he's anonymous.....I'm sure he'll like to know that....as there are REAL PEOPLE behind that *anonymous* state.
Whoa - presuming from my prior post that I'm anti-gay is beyond my comprehension - and you need to try to re-read that prior post.....
whoa, missed this one
I'm in Texas -- where is this In&Out Burger place?? That's certainly not shabby for fast food.
whoa, wait a minute sm
I said "acting like a fool" not calling anyone a fool. There is a difference! Come on, guys. My point is simply this...if your job makes you so unhappy that you feel the constant need to post negativity all day, then perhaps it's time to find something that will make you happy, it's that simple. And consistently posting silliness, i.e.; foolishness, here on this board is NOT helpful! Point Blank...sorry, sometimes the truth really, um, SUCKS!
whoa, let me put out the fire while it's still small (sm)
I don't want him to be like so many of the child stars we have all heard of...I simply was asking about print ads, commercials, stuff like that. He's as cute as any kid I've seen in the Macy's catalog or on the Mott's Apple Juice commercials. And he is chock full of charisma...and too, I'm just ASKIN'! Slow down on the flames, please...there's only one of ME to fight the fire!
Whoa. Someone around here jumped to conclusions.
LOLOLOLOLOL
Whoa! You go girl! Been there but keep to 2000.
Not killing my hands anymore.

Are you for real! Whoa...two big letters!
You may not need detox but you certainly need some compassion and you also need to get a life! ; )
Whoa - lesson revision
If you are asked to test again for a job, the company needs to specify if test is substance of abuse or banned drugs - the latter being those drugs not permitted for the work/company involved. If you are taking legal meds, Rx or OTC, I'd be quite upset with the company in question esp if they did not clarify in advance that any positive result was considered a no-hire situation. If you were honest up front, so should they have been and also should not have wasted your time. Sorry, stuff like this makes me crazy!
Whoa, are you blessed! You see offers out here for 6-8 cpl

Whoa, offensive. Maybe I'm old but it's not nice to see
You said you were in your 50s and you would put up a picture like that? I would expect that of a child or teenager but not a grown adult. Like the other poster said, are you trying to gain attention? What I don't understand is why people think the only way to be funny is by using foul language. You asked for opinions, well you got mine.
Also, to the other poster who said the F word is offensive. To the younger generation, the F word is perfectly ok to use yet you take offense to that. See what I mean ROEmpty?
And, I think having pictures with foul language only makes our industry look unprofessional.
whoa Vista at the colleges....
Where are you at? Then again I'm in South GA, we are always a little behind :)
Whoa - slow down there. If you're
attempting to gain allies in your fight for whatever it is you're fighting for, you're going about it entirely wrong. The HIPPA/HIPAA issue wasn't meant as a smart reply, but rather point out that if you want to attempt to start something in a leadership role, you need to know what you're attempting to lead first. If you saw an employment add that said "I need sumone to tipe 1000 lines a day" would you have a lot of confidence applying for that job? I think one might just laugh and bypass that ad. Just like MT, 90% of one's success at this depends on their research skill. Would you be approaching all these people in power with such an attitude if you were asked for clarification or further facts? Think about it. You'd be laughed right out of the office.
Whoa! "What makes you think" post was is
x
Whoa . . . another thing, don't be so quick to judge.
It depends on the type of account you're on. A lot of time the 300 lph MTs are working on short clinic notes for one or two docs or ER reports. There's a big difference in the types of account you're on. I work on an acute care account for a large teaching hospital. I do H&P, consults, ORs, discharge summaries, echos, eegs, and about anything else they dictate for internal medicine and all the specialties, including infectious disease, radiation oncology, cardiology, neurology, etc., you get the picture. Sure, I can fly on short clinic notes or ER reports, but then I get so bored I could scream. My dictations are more technical and time consuming, but much more interesting. I have to stop and research sometimes on the latest meds or procedures, but it keeps me on my toes!
Whoa! We used to type an MD in-house who was absolutely
Horrible. He would dictate something like: I saw this patient today as a second opinion. The patient requested a second opinion, only because she is a deadbeat and did not pay her bills to the prior physician so now the fool thinks I'm going to take her case, but I booted her fat butt out the door. She is a loser. . .
We were told under no circumstances to send his reports to the floor. We had to take them directly to the Director of Medical Records.
You would not believe the things he would say, even to people's faces.
One MD told me he was kicked out of the country club because he told an MD one night his wife looked like a pig in a blanket because of the coat she was wearing.
Everyone hated him.
The tape recording machine was down one day, he needed to dictate and was p'd off because he couldn't, ran into the department, looked at me (I was the lucky one sitting there in front) and said: Are you stupid or do you just look that way all the time? Why can't you fix this machine, you are a waste!
I wanted to take off my size 9 wide Nike's and hit him in the head with them.
He dropped dead one day. I think Satan finally took him home.
My first job out of high school, we had those belts. That was in 1964. Whoa!!
Whoa - I mistakenly downloaded a free antivirus
and nearly ruined my PC because it downloaded threatening messages constantly, constantly pestering me to download the 2009 version for a fee. I did not have a virus, it was just a fake.
It took me months to get rid of the program and had to keep researching to find out how to get the files out completely.
Just a heads up - make sure you read it before downloading.
You are amazing!
God bless you for having such strength to move on in such a positive manner.
Yes, it is amazing.
I've been practicing, and it seems that the hardest part is typing the "i". I'll manage. I'm impressed by you. How hard you have it, divorced and mother of 3 with no support. My ex is a control freak jerk, but he pays me on time so he won't have to look bad to his family, and he or his family come through in a pinch where his kid is concerned. God bless you and your kids.
Amazing, but you know...
There are so many newbies right out of school who *think* they are really great, well-educated transcriptionists, and that is probably who will bid on that. Either that or an Indian will bid on it. I seriously doubt that anyone with all of the qualifications they specified would actually accept that.
that's amazing
Oophs. Sorry. That should be 1800 LINES in an 8-hour day. I usually proofread better than that! Sorry!
Yes he is just AMAZING
and a complete idiot. What is with that hair of his anyway.
Isn't it amazing
...the perception that many people have of "all" black people...the assumption that if we have obtained anything and made anything of ourselves, that it was handed to us by the government because we were "coddled".
I was raised by parents who were very poor, yet determined that I have a better life. I worked full time while attending Duke University and graduated with honors. During most of that time, I was an MT. I am still an MT and am working on my PhD in Psychology.
I find it to be very amusing that most racist people who look down on black people or choose to lump us all into the same filthy bucket - don't have a pot to piss in...no education whatsoever...and are just plain ignorant. We are all human beings who were created by God. There are many black people on this planet who are educated, hard working, productive, successful and decent people. Maybe if some of you ventured out of the woods sometime, you would know this.
It's amazing what you can do when you set
your mind to it! I wanted to stay home so badly after I had my second baby, that I MADE it work. I had an almost 2-year-old and a new baby, but I did it, and I will NEVER regret it! I was statutory, so I it was easier then, but I worked when they napped during the day, and then at night when they slept. Granted, I was very, very tired for a long time, but it is SO worth it, to be there for them!! And just because you have kids at home, does NOT mean you are not giving 100% to your job! YOU CAN DO BOTH!
GO FOR IT...AND GOOD LUCK!!
Amazing!!
I just wanted to say its absolutely amazing how some bosses can take your money to go on vacation and have a good time!! It's also pretty sad that if you happen to get in a hard spot because someone is late paying you and the work load drops to nothing, you take another job just to get the bills paid and when you leave them they keep everything they owe you!! Be careful who you contract with, especially if it is a small independent business. I am losing $1500 but I guess it is worth it to have work more than once or twice a week and to have a guaranteed pay time. Some small companies hold you so far back that if you do leave, they wind up getting 1500-2000 of your money. They do this because they can. There is no government agency to help independent contractors, and a lawyer would charge more than it is worth to get the money from them..even if you receive a judgement they don't have to pay it. No one is going to hunt them down and kick them in the hind-end if they don't. Hopefully ya'll wont run into some thief like this!!!
lawsy me why'd i work there??? LOL
I know someone like this, too! Amazing. Must be many of them.
dd
It is so amazing
We had one in my neighborhood who left her ten year old home all summer. I think she thought the kid could hang here or wherever but we had our own schedules and my child went to camp. How do you leave a ten year old to mooch off neighbors all day. By the way, people who do that will be the ones to tell you they want a lot of kids and that having kids is easy and not stressful. That's because they don't do much.
It is amazing to me how self-important US MTs are ...
You want to point your finger toward offshoring companies using HIPAA as your miserable crutch; however, when it comes to ensuring the legitimacy of who YOU are to handle this sensitive, private, protected information -- well just forget it.
After all, I mean, YOU work at home. And you are a citizen of the US. And no US citizen EVER scammed the public, EVER stole identities, EVER did anything wrong. Talk about self-righteous and self-important. Hahaha
What's wrong? What are you afraid of? Someone might really find out about your lack of control over your own life?
No one has ANY idea what YOU are doing with this information either and if your attitudes and behavior on here were shown to physicians and your own employers (and probably your family and friends), many of you would be out - out of a job, out of respect, out of friends and maybe family, out of most of everything and everyone who has no idea what you are like when you feel your anonymous status is hidden.
I'm entitled to how I feel the same as you are. You might want to get prepared though -- time and the conditions in this world are rooting for my opinion.
With the increasing security risks, insurance costs, etc., in this world -- you might want to get busy cleaning up whatever it is you're hiding because the likelihood of you submitting yourselves to any/all of these things for a job is going up and fast.
Hahaha
you, my dear, are amazing!
I thought i had browsed around sufficiently in the dqmanage area, and didn't happen upon this little useful discovery -- so thanks a bunch for sharing with us!!
Yea, isn't it amazing.... YOOOOOOOOOOOOWza
c
Wow.....that's an amazing story!
I know nothing like that will ever happen again, but it's sure nice to hear that at one time it did!
That is amazing...that doc is talented!

35 in 4 weeks!! Amazing!!
Thanks for the post. I believe my weight will come off fairly quickly, as I said, I am a carb freak as of now. I understand the incorporation of "good carbs" after the induction phase. It is just that the induction phase is going to be tough!!!! I want to lose about 30 pounds, could really lose about 40 and would be happy wtih 20!!!
It's amazing how many people
are handing a diaper to a fully vocal 3 or 4-year-old so they can go to the bathroom, and then the kids hands it back. I know a couple people who have fallen into this trap with their kids. Ridiculous. You did the right thing. It was just a matter of wills and convenience for him, and a matter of sticking to your guns for you. YOU will eventually win, and as long as you don't punish or turn it into a big fight or something traumatic, the kid will eventually give in.
Amazing Race fan
Yes, I too am a huge fan! I also hope the hippie boys win. Everytime they come in last I hold my breath. I really hope that neither the frat boys or MoJo win. That would be a huge disappointment. This race has been great so far.
That is amazing! I know you are so glad!! nm
