You're assuming she doesn't want more children. nm
That sounds like some of my reports! nm

Sounds like someone is rejecting their reports after they take a stab at it and can't do it,
s
sounds to me like with your editing job you get these kind of reports. quit.
if you don't like it simply quit and start doing MT.
Previous posts seem to have generated a lot of negativity about these companies.
Also, on one previous post, it stated that Transform wants you to purchase some "error" insurance of some kind. I am not even sure what this is, but someone stated there was a lot of fine print and told not to sign their contract. It would really be scary if they actually wanted MTs to purchase insurance to cover any mistakes/errors they make.. Obviously, I am perfect and that would not apply to me...NOT... I just do not get the concept and maybe it is not true. Anyone else out there with anything more to add.. 
Sounds just like my vet, except we're beyond
bloodwork and into ultrasounds. Two years ago I had a cat that the ultimate diagnosis was FIP by process of elimination. She had a CT scan, a spinal tap, an ultrasound and all kinds of blood work for a total of over $4,000.00. I have a dog with Cushings and I haven't kept track of her expenses, but I'm sure we're close to $5,000.00 over the last 3 years. She is currently on $300.00 worth of medicine a month and that will probably be increased another $100./mo. I have finally gotten to the point where I tell the vet no about a lot of things because one test we do is $425.00 and HAS to be done twice a year, but it was done in mid December and the results were borderline and so she wanted to repeat again in January because the medication for the test is only good for 6 months and she didn't want to waste it. I felt like 1 month wasn't going to show anything significant and our money would be better spent on her medications.
I think more people are looking at pets as family members and not pets - I know we do. We have 5 vets in our practice and when I see one particular one she always tells us we need to schedule a teeth cleaning. I think they cost about $250.00 and your pets has to have anesthesia.
well, sounds like you're trying to sell something
Sounds like you're in the clear!
Sounds shady to me not to know what you're paying for.
Report to the Better Business Bureau.
No wonder you're upset! That bail sounds awfully low - sm
It sounds like he's a friend of the judge or something.
And your story illustrates the trouble with Megan's Law. It is well-intentioned, as far as it goes, but AFAIK there is no law anywhere that says _you_ must be notified when you move into a neighborhood where a child molester is living. When my daughter was 12, we moved into a house next door to a molester. He never touched her but he used to put candy in our mailbox with weird little notes attached!
Sounds like you're suffering more from job boredom than anything else.

It all sounds pretty okay, as long as you're not - sm
being paid by the line, but by the hour. (I assume you're currently paid per hour as an inhouse employee, right?) If you can still make your previous inhouse salary, rather than the paltry cents-per-line most at-homes make, you should be sitting pretty.
Double check and be sure the inhouse people have to maintain the same line count as you! There is no reason why at-homes should be 'penalized' with higher line counts than in-house people, especially if you're doing the same work, using the same equipment, etc.
If you're paid per-line, and it's not as much as you'd be making per-hour inhouse, what could happen is that you'll find yourself working longer hours for less money, which isn't fair. It's hard to maintain quality work when you're depressed about what you're making, or about never being able to leave the house!
Depending on your hospital's software, they may be able to clock you in and out. I worked at a place where they could see the time you started a report, and the time you sent it, but that wasn't always accurate if you were halfway through a report and then got up to use the restroom, and then had to wait in line for a stall, etc.
Even if you can't get worker's comp for getting hurt at home (though if you got something like carpal tunnel, you might be able to dispute that!), you would probably still be able to get Disability.
For the most part, it sounds like a deal that would work. You're better off being at at-home employee of an inhouse MT department than you are working for a large national. You probably already have better benefits, too.
And, at some point in the future, if you decide working at home isn't for you, you probably would have the option of going back inhouse without much change in anything, but if you left and worked elsewhere, it would not only be harder to come back if you wanted to, but they'd probably add insult to it all by offering you a lower 'starting' wage.
Good luck, and let us know how it all works out!
You're the one that sounds angry. I've made sure
If you need to stoop to that level to live, apparently the one who's made a wrong turn on the pathway of life is you.
People get angry about the prospect that they failed in life. Time to reevaluate, regroup and see why you feel so angry and take it personally when people make statements such as mine.
trying hitting your Refresh button, maybe? (sounds like you're seeing an old

Sounds like you're on the right track with Weight Watchers (sm)
Do they offer counseling too? I know of two people who did Weight Watchers and they were very successful. Seems like a good, healthy program. I am not overweight myself but my sister is and, like you, has struggled with her weight her whole life. So I know at least second-hand the struggle you're going through. I think maybe if Weight Watchers doesn't offer counseling that it might be a good idea to talk to someone about your feelings and help you sort through them. Best of luck to you and try not to be too hard on yourself. Your son and your husband love you for who you are.
Get Momma's recipe while you're at it. Sounds great! nm
you OVERPAID your taxes by almost $4K? Sounds like YOU're the one who needs a better accountant.

Well your statement sounds equally closed-minded to the one you're arguing with
Where one person prefers to live and why is their own business and no reason to diss someone else's personal choice.
Well, you know what they say about *assuming*. sm
If the OP had wanted to know those things, she should have asked. the first few other posters did not include all that stuff either and you are just picking on ME. I was not trying to *mislead* anyone and posted later on about the specifics. but now you answer a question of mine...how are YOUR gross lines coming??? or can I assume you haven't done it yet? lol. I am not going to argue with you after this post. You always seem to be stirring things up for every body that posts something you disagree with. and you always *assume* to be right, even though you are not. Your opinion does not matter to me, nor does anyone elses. I posted the truth and you did not like it so you had to start trouble. so I am ending it. drop the subject. move on. find someone else to pick an argument with. I am assuming you are not happy unless you are arguing about something anyway, so find someone else to do it with. I won't waste my time on you. go count your gross lines.
Assuming once again
Actually, I have requested information from AAMT, CareerStep, my local community college, and a couple of other places. I'm on this board to talk to actual people who do this job - not those who are out to sell something to me and claim they are the end-all beat-all for information on it.
I wasn't belittling anyone. If me stating "I wasn't looking to change careers, just make some extra cash, what are your experiences in this field" makes you feel belittled you may want to get some help with your self esteem. My goodness.
Yes, I know how forums work. Of course not everyone on here may actually be whom they claim to be, but it would at least give me a general idea of the field and what to expect. Trust me, I will NOT be going into this field. I think my general view is y'all are nuts!
I am assuming there are kiddies, so (sm)
our faves are Nemo, Shrek, Toy STory 1 and 2. For adults though, just saw Sideways and it's pretty good, but NOT for children. Have fun! Sounds like a great idea! Can I come?

I'M ASSUMING NOTHING NEW OR SHE WOULD HAVE INFORMED US
Maybe no changes for SE
And you are assuming I am a liar when you don't know

I'm assuming you are in Illinois?? No?? (nm)

But you are assuming I never made any
money and that, my dear, has never been the case. I don’t work with you, now days no one works with others in this field. I do not have to like the ESLs dictation. I don’t care to visit India because I frankly am tired of constantly having to transcribe. Glad you are working at home doing what you like, being by yourself.
Assuming it's XP or older
Hit the Windows logo button, go into control panel, and from there click on appearance/themes. Go to choose a screen saver. From that window, the bottom half has the power saver options; I believe it says monitor options, but it will also include the options for your hard drives. In there, you can find the choices as to whether or when to shut down the hard drive, hibernate, time to turn on the screen saver, etc. Vista is probably similar steps, but I'm not sure how exactly you get to the screen saver page.
Hope that helps!
Thanks! I'm assuming that was a typo, you
meant *hook up to both MONITORS* I hope....
But thanks for giving me a starting point....I'm gonna ask about that switch the Best Buy near my house...
Thanks again!
I'm assuming you installed the software that came with?
If so, and don't laugh, did you try rebooting? I always do that first before I worry about any computer issues. If it doesn't take care of it then go back and make sure you followed the installation steps exactly. Is it the Mircrosoft Natural Ergonomic 4000? I have that and it's great...only thing I could complain about is it's rather wide, so when I do need to use my mouse, my arm has to reach a little farther, which isn't good ergonomically, but I do everything I can to avoid using the mouse anyway...oops, I digress! Good luck with your keyboard!
The advice to Google is assuming SM
that the MT in question has half a brain and can discern what is a reputable link and what isn't. Or are you saying we shouldn't assume even that much?
The MR reports were being filed. Referring physicians/medical care providers reports were not.
This is a hospital radiology department with in-house MTs and a clerk who is in charge of the report distribution.
I know! And did you see the way she jumped down my throat assuming that I was talking about HER!
Talk about soapbox. But I do agree with you
This is just a sarcastic guess, but I'm assuming by the line - sm
why else would there be so many mistakes. If they were paid by the hour, maybe they would spend more time on getting to know the ENGLISH language. I actually had a report come back from India where instead of the word "children" it said "litter."
Assuming you are talking about wireless internet. nm

I was on it for a long time - it's generall OK, assuming it's

That is assuming they could even understand the dictation to begin with.
I would love to see the doctors having to listen to dictation.
The two sentence normal reports will balance out the 3 page reports.
I am Wendy too
I am assuming you are talking about Sheri. What answers of hers are not lining up?
What info do you have that I do not or others? Never heard of you either, American regular MTstarser??? Strange posted by if you ask me.
Assuming your existing documents are based on the Normal template...
You can open the Normal template, make the changes you mention, and then save it. When you open your existing documents, they will be corrected. Hope this is the info you're looking for.

Your English teacher does not do medical reports. This is for medical reports.

For Pete's sake, you're not terminating a pregnancy, you're just typing a report after the
It's already been done before you even hear about it, and NOTHING changes regardless of whether you or someone else types it. Sheesh.
It's not funny when you're on a board where language is one skill you're selling.

Hope you're gonna have a glass of wine while you're relaxing
in your spa goodies. Congrats!
Well, you're all complaining that accounts are current and work is low, so, gee, maybe they're
focusing on WORK, as in CLIENT and transcribing, as maybe half of you should be focusing on!!
If you're experienced, try for 9cpl or higher, and you're lucky to get that! nm

Skip it. No one cares. Either you're good on the test or you're not.

You're probably right. Plus we're losing our percentage of good people by .... (sm)
allowing every loser from every 3rd world country on the planet to just stroll on into our country, some legally, most illegally, and take advantage of the social services all us hard working little gerbils pay for by having money taken out of our pay every month. But I don't think we're all lazy. Just the ones on permanent welfare driving around town in brand-new Cadillac Escalades. Saw one just today on the Bayshore Fwy. Brand-new black Escalade with expensive spinner wheels, with 5 or 6 Mexicans in it. Well, who knows - maybe they stole it and it was on its way to a chop-shop. Smart-and-hungry people aren't always hard-working and honest.

You're forgetting all the stuff you can't buy when you're UNEMPLOYED!
Unemployed people have a hard time buying anything, including cheaply made offshore products. How many will have to end up depending on public assistance? That means more tax dollars being eaten up - besides the taxes NOT being collected from the overseas workers. In the long run, are you really enjoying a lower price?
