Definitely neuter him!! I have three male dogs and have had this...sm
problem as well. Our first male dog is a mixed Dachsund. He was very anxious and hiked on everything, especially when we were gone. Having him neutered helped calm him down and helped with the hiking. He is now 5 years old. We had him neutered at 2 years of age and he has never hiked since then. Also, he calmed down enough to be put in the bathroom when we leave! Our second male dog is a chocolate cocker spaniel. We had him neutered mainly because he was hiking to mark his male territory. Had him done around 1 year of age and he has never done it since. He has never had a problem with being put in a cage when we are gone, but neutering has calmed him down and taken away the hiking problem. OUr third male dog is a Cavilier King Charles Spaniel. He is 8 months old and getting neutered tomorrow! He has been doing the hiking thing to mark his spot in the chain! We are expecting him to do well and quit the hiking also!! I would definitely recommend neutering your doggie! I think it would help him in both the hiking and his anxiety. Good luck and lots of luv to your doggie!!!
typing male to female sex change ....sm
Typing a male to female sex change made me cringe every time. I typed three of them.
YOU need to change your mind
You have deep issues that control the way you act and behave in the world. You are programmed to please and do GREAT, because that is just what you perceived to be the best path for you growing up. If I achieve, achieve, and do great, then I will be safe. Well guess what, you forgot to look at yourself and praise yourself and acknowledge it YOURSELF. Go back, find your SELF in there and say, what does ___ want? Stop the achieving and look at your soul. As you can see, blind achievements, however great, do not feed your soul. That is what is happening anyway, you have shut down and stopped. It is all happening unconsciously, though. Your self is trying to save yourself: pay attention. So, be conscious, ask, listen. Do not drink. That will only take you further away from YOU. YOU is what you are looking for. Meanwhile, count the blessing of your apartment. This is a safe cocoon for you to do your heart's work. Also, realize that you are one smart fellow, so all that work wasn't for nothing. The trick now is to find your heart and connect it to that.
Read this and you will change your mind
Pay scale looks pretty low to me, according to the owner who emailed employees with this: "Whether we think offshore labor is right or wrong, it has become a fact we cannot escape from. OSi will not actively pursue offshore labor contracts, but we have made the decision to experiment with using some offshore labor to save this large OSi client from going elsewhere. We believe this is the best decision for our employees assigned to this account and the company because this account is growing and we can assign the offshore part to the future increases and not have to reassign any OSi MTs. OSi is committed to continue using US MTs for the majority of their work and we will continue to resist going offshore."
If you want to work for a company with incompetent and unqualified management on power trips GO FOR IT.
Dictators who change their mind
About 4 months ago I switched to a new account. The account is great in the fact that there are almost no ESL doctors. However, there are about 4-5 female dictators who have great difficulty in transcribing a report. They sit and think about what they are going to say for time periods of 30 seconds and above. They either speak incredibly slow or very fast. They also change their mind A LOT. They can change their mind multiple times in one sentence or change their mind and make me go back several paragraphs to fix something. One dictator says "okay, okay, okay" after each sentence as she searchs her files for the next thing she wants to say.
These dictators hurt my line count so much that I am putting in extra time to meet my line count. They can drag my usual hourly average of 180-200 down to 140-160 lines an hour. I have complained about them multiple times and my supervisor says that the company does pass on the complaints. The dictators do not change. I have tried speeding up the dictation on the slow dictators but this usually ends up distorting the sound or rewinding too much or too little and then I spend more time trying to get back to where I was!
I was wondering what others do in situations like this. I sure could use some help trying to make them go by faster so I don't spent my personal hours working on their dictations.
OMG! Don't just change your mind immediately because of a few negative women!
Your first instincts were CORRECT - stay home with your baby! Your baby needs YOU - not some total stranger raising him for the majority of its life. PLEASE don't listen to the negativity. This board is the worst place for that, really. Go to any other MT board and you'll get tons of encouraging words. It makes NO sense that your baby would be better off without you. Think about your words. You have to know in your heart that that's not true. I learned the business and taught myself (horrors on this board as well) when my first child was born, and was transcribing by the time she was 6 months old, again, many days holding her on my lap for a half hour or so. But they take NAPS all the time, especially that young. You work out an easy schedule around the baby, and it DOES work, if you want it to work. Please feel free to email me and I'll answer any questions you may have, or just talk further about all this. The MTs on this board are very hostile - even to anyone new who wants to be an MT. It makes no sense at all - as I thought the purpose of this board was to be mentors for MTs entering the field. But its not that at all. The majority hate new MTs, hate newbie students - oh, they really freak about that - like this job is capable of only being done by THEM, and forget kids - NOT a favorite topic. Very sad, and very shallow. Since time began, the WHOLE BASIS of MTing at home was to be with the kids. Period. How on earth a mother could work home and then ship her kids off to daycare is so beyond me that I can't even begin to figure it out. But, that's the sad majority of our screwed up society today - have kids, and then immediately ship them off at 6 weeks old, to be raised by daycare and then the public school system. Parents and kids pass like ships in the night, but who cares, right?  At least Mom gets to stay comfy at home.
Probably staining the new fence we put up to keep our dogs in and other dogs out.
The neighbor dog won't stop trying to attack our dogs, so we put up a nice big fence. Should do the trick. Doesn't keep the rabbits out, though. We'll BBQ, too. Can't go far. Hubby is on call for the weekend with his job.javascript:editor_insertHTML('text',' ');

Especially when most are anal QA...sm
who gets crazy over a comma here, no comma here, a semicolon versus comma versus etc etc.......those things do not gave a goshdarn thing to do with the overall report.
So what are they changing it to? The Anal
.
Can't anyone take anything in fun anymore? Why so anal?
ll
Exactly!! Call me anal, but precision is a MUST in this job...SM
and despite what some here might say, whether or not someone "gets it" is reflected even in casual posts on a message board. Why do we so easily excuse "mistakes" and typos? Would those of you who think this kind of thing is okay really want someone like this typing YOUR medical records? I sure as h-ll wouldn't.
Even 4.5 is too low. doctors do not change - they still hem and haw, change, change stuff along wit
It is just not enough for the work. Speech is great on the wrists but you are not just reading what is typed, you are making a lot of changes. I have a hard time doubling a lot of days with all the changes I have to make. Just my opinion.
Nope. Being an anal retentive perfectionist is a good quality in an MT.
Not anal, but definitely reclusive and panicky. Add some diversions to your free time - exercise,
s
People expect the groomer to do anal glands. They feel that is part of what they are paying for.

Don't change. I had to change back to cable. SuddenLink DSL stinks! nm

Your mind was in the gutter up there with sauteed stool, too. Would you please take your mind out of
Yep, google has it goin on... I really like the google earth...
Have you tried Google earth? You can type in any address, street, city, state, country, etc. and it will zoom in and show the area and then you can hit the + button and zoom right in and see the exact house, building, etc. that you are looking for.
Mainly Google; I google the known words in the phrase (sm)
That's my most frequent tactic if I don't find the word in my word books. I'll play with leaving certain words out and adding them in, in various combinations, to try to get a hit that has a word which sounds like my blank. If I get a hit, I'll Google WITH that word, and see what hits I get, and what their source is (i.e.,checking the sources out for reliability). When I say 5 sites or searches, I mean I don't often try more than 5 different combinations without a serious hit. If I get a hit, then I will spend a little more time checking that out before I give up.
If it's a drug name, I use RxList, or more frequently the Drugs.com website. Since they redid RxList, I haven't found one that has quite as good a wildcard search, but Drugs.com works okay most of the time.
If it's a place name (like when they give names of outlying outreach clinics and etc.) I'll use Mapquest and look up the city my hospital is in, then "pan out" and look at the outlying towns.
Hope that's what you're looking for. I do have bookmarks, but I find that even the ones I think I'll visit again, I waste more time doing that than with an intelligent google search. An example is the time I was looking for "banana bag." The only place I managed to find it with a degree of reliability was on a nurses' message board. I've found quite a bit sometimes on the various specialty message boards out there, but I think the quickest way to locate that is through a search engine rather than bookmarking each individual site and trying to figure out which ones to search for a particular term.
Change provider vs change to business plan
In your place, I would seriously consider changing providers if there were others available in your area, but I'd ask around about their service quality first. It may not be any better. If there are no other providers, then consider changing your service package to a business account rather than residential. They're usually more expensive, but they also tend to get faster service if there's a problem.
Last summer, I had no electricity for 3 days due to severe storms, but there were some 600,000 in the same boat with me. We just had to wait it out. It's a downside of working at home.
change attitude, change life
The first thing you need to change is that defeatist attitude! I know that's hard at times like this, but that's when you need to most.
I won't go into detail, but my financial situation is also at an all-time low, we couldn't even exchange gifts., daughter in hospital twice, & no med insurance)..but then I heard about how much worse things were for others around me this season. Now I'm thankful instead!
Thank you, Google God. My google icon is

Male MTs
I have been an MT for over 20 years. My hubby is unemployed and looking for new career options. He is checking into the MT schools and even talked to an employer today that hires ouf of a certain school. I have known very few men in this career field over the years, maybe 5 that I knew personally and counted as friends. I asked my boss when I first got into MT why we didn't have more men in the office doing MT. She said she thought maybe they just didn't know about it. Well now I am talking to my friends, and I have heard some of their husbands are checking into it. They like the idea of staying home to work and spending more time with their children. The few men that I have known over the years that did MT really enjoyed it as a career. I think it would be nice to see more.
male MTs
Michael, Michael, Michael - careful now. I have 2 nieces married to "beauticians" who BTW, nowadays refer to themselves as "stylists," and I'm quite sure neither of them is gay.
People have stereotypes about others - period.
I've been in this business a long time and I remember when male MTs were rare. I saw men come into the job for the same reasons women do - interesting work, independence, and of course the huge attraction of working at home, no office politics, etc.
BTW, Michael, if it "frosts" you butt, why did you use an emoticon with fire? (Just kidding you.)
I think it is a male...

Had to train my male (sm)
Started by keeping the box really clean with that nice scooping sand that they like. Then I would walk over to the box and say, here kitty, and invite him to go in.
After his pee pee in the box, he gets a treat!
We still have an occasional problem, but only when the box is dirty. The pee pee in the corner means he doesn't like that dirty box!
I never go to a male doc for this very reason. nm

The patient is a male
The doctor said: "He denies bloody or cloudy urine, pain with urination and vaginal bleeding."
I crack up laughing and quote this to my husband, stating the patient's gender.
And his response was, "I hope so."
(think about it) 
So where exactly is the male vagina?

MALE MT or FEMALE MT?
Who is better in the Medical Transcription? Men or women medical transcriptionists. I believe it has been a debate throughout decades who is better in this industry. Regardless of Race and regardless of Age. Let the battle begin... (hey its just for fun)  .
State your side: Age sex Location. No names Pls. and comments. Maybe Footonmyneck, SUN, Cheeseburger, Proud to be Indian, and the entire MT Stars gang can start it up. Its better than talking about outsourcing and MQ for a change.
Male MT or female MT
35-year-old female, AR
I don't as I know several straight male MTs...sm
just like I know some straight male nurses.
Ok, here's the Big Male Secret...
We want y'all to think we're helpless and can't do things so we can get out of doing stuff. It works, too! :)
Big Male Secret
It's not a secret, Rad Guy. We just let you think it is.
Go TAYLOR!!!!!.....AI wants a male to win!! n/m
I only see one picture of the male.....nm
male transcriptionists
I worked with one where we were paid $25 an hour - he would come in on Saturday and Sunday and milk the clock for 12-16 hours when there was only about 1-2 hours of work. This went on for a couple of years. Then I had another male MT as a supervisor and he was very nice and has always helped me to find work when I needed it. Different strokes for different folks.
One of the male MTs emailed me his pic. sm
I didnt know he was sending me a pic of his little willie. I didnt want to see a penis when I looked and then just ROFL @ it.
female vs male
I would rather listen to a male dictator as well, depending on how low his tone is. I do have one female that I do like. She is actually very good, very organized. What I do hate, with a passion, is a female ESL dictator. That is the worst of both worlds. Talk about REALLY not knowing what the heck they are saying!!!
47-year-old male - Kentucky!
Who do people assume all male MTs are gay?
Its not like we're BEAUTICIANS or FLORISTS or something! This really frosts my butt! 
you say it's wrong to assume male MTs are gay
but then you say, "Its not like we're BEAUTICIANS or FLORISTS or something!"
TALLY OF MALE/FEMALE MTS
Good Evening People, we have a tally of the Male MTs and Female MTs as of November 19, 2005. Have a nice day
Male: SEVEN (7)
Female: FORTY (40)
Check in at: MALE MTs or FEMALE MTs
Pls read the rules
Sure do !!! I have 2 Rotties, one male and one female...
The male is cool as a cucumber. The female on the other hand is in constant motion all the time even though I jog with each of them 30 minutes per day. It's not too bad when the SO is home to divert their attention. When he's not, they can drive me nuts....
Actually, you can tell a male from a female by the tail.
A male's tail is tapers to a much finer point than a female's (I don't know the difference if there is a rattle involved).
;op
The only male MT I've worked with is now ...
one of the MDs I transcribe for now. He worked as an MT for the same small service I did while he was going to school.
Nah...the male poster was more articulate than that!

Male friend age 73 had some tests done and x-ray
and doctor was amazed when he saw a blockage of the intestine. The friend is very "eccentric" and not knowledgeable about his health, so that is all I know as of today. When the doctor saw this blockage, he immediately called an ambulance (hospital just across the street), and he refused to go in an ambulance. Then he drove himself to the ER at the hospital and took all papers and x-rays. The ER was very busy with broken bones, etc., and he got tired of waiting and left, leaving his papers and everything on the desk. He told the doctor he would come back Monday, and he said "you may not live until Monday."
Can you help with what you would think could be this problem with his intestine. He is doing 3-day smear for blood now and to return them. Thank you for any information you may have. I am very worried about him.
I am indeed...an insensitive boob of a male. :) nm
And I agree that my post wasn't funny. There's nothing funny about MTs losing their jobs to offshore companies when I know by personal experience that those companies cannot and do not transcribe medical documents properly. This leaves only the 3-cent-per-line leftovers for us to add quality back to rotten documents.
Quite right! I'm not laughing at all, although it's a pity that satire seems to be high on the list of the Forum Police.
Actually I have heard of a male vagina - something to do with the prostate,
