Not always. Tongue stumblers. New dictators. Speedy and lazy dictators.

?? Bad dictators are bad dictators regardless of their mother language.
wonder when people will just get over it and do what they can and move on.
He sounded
like the 'serial killer' type. pretty scary.
Ok, thanks. I think it might be new AAMT changes. That's what it sounded like to me.
I'm going to post another ? at the top of the page. Can't believe how quickly this moved down! Thanks again!
Since you had a bad ESL did you blank or put what it sounded like?

Sounded fishy to me
They are both identical, polite and too exact and to me sounded like it was someone attempting to appear to be American. Maybe I am a skeptic but that is my gut feeling. 
That sounded all normal to me. And SM
remember that the day after Christmas there won't be much work anywhere.
sounded gross at first to me, but
This doesn't sound very appetizing to me, but I do love the McDonald's McGriddles. It's like having the bacon or sausage between your pancakes. So very good!
I know it sounded hypocritical
But, it is like I traded 1 problem for another. I did feel like I was being jilted. They never gave raises, they never delivered what was promised, they played favorites, but the money was better than what I am making now. I had to dip out of my retirement account to pay off some bills. I just couldn't make the monthly payments anymore. I am still not able to get health insurance. I just cannot afford it. Sometimes, I wonder if I should not have taken the heat and stayed. I talked to my ex supe today and it almost made me ill, so I won't go back. I did not even ask.
sounded like you were dripping with sarcasm nm
But that said. 
Used to transcribe a doc who sounded startled,
as if I caught him off-guard, and every time I would get his dictation, he made me laugh..."oh?! Hi!"
a bark?? I thought it sounded like a cat!!
xx
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
OK, just sounded a lot like my experience with a company there. nm

I just heard it! Sounded like a bark to me, but could have been a "woo".
Too funny!
Your response sounded angry, defensive and judgmental
you gave for "walking away from the rat race." I don't buy it. I've had tough times in my life too, probably as tough as yours. It's your choice. You can either work harder and refuse to accept crap for yourself or you can get angry and bitter, which is what you've apparently done. If you're talking about turning in soda bottles for deposits, people are naturally going to deduct from that that you are or have been poor. You said it, I didn't. So if you choose to "give up," that's up to you. I chose to make something of myself nomatter what or how long it took. Read Plato's "The Republic." It's the difference between Gold, Silver and Bronze.
They sounded awful and were all moving in slow motion.

she sounded pretty rational to me, you were the one posting inflammatory remarks...nm

TONS
X
tons
I have a couple large accounts with hundreds of docs and a smaller one with 50 or so. I rarely get the same doc twice.
Brings back memories! I had a computer fan that sounded like a mini helicopter! Kept
calling my company and having them "listen". They weren't concerned. It did actually blow up one day - a little mini "poof" of fire, 2 seconds of light smelly smoke, and she was dead!! A goner! Never heard it before, never heard it after, but one did make noise and it died a month later!
tons of work
im loaded to the gills...and i need some time off...crazy how some companies can be so different in there work load.
TONS today.......
Been very slow and all of a sudden BAM!
I'll take it!
and they are still making tons of $$....sm
the naysayers panning the Stones probably could never afford to go and buy a ticket even to see them today....that's how expensive their tickets for a concert are today!!!
*snickers*
Tons of them this week. I just sm
reregistered for the do not fall list. We will see if it changes. Very annoying.
Yeah, there are tons (sm)
Here is a link showing how to find the 'Word command list.' The list itself is too long to post. http://www.melbpc.org.au/pcupdate/2207/2207article6.htm
I also subscribe to Word Tips. I usually find a tip or two in each E-mail that is useful and I save them in one document for reference. http://wordtips.vitalnews.com/
I do PT and make tons of money...sm
very easy work. Few ESL in that field and they are very agreeable to working with you. Lots of word Expander phrases, hardly any drugs, no labs. Love it. Make more money in PT with less cpl than any of my other accounts just because I can crank it out.
There are TONS of stores that I see every place I go.

Never had a slow day, still tons of work.
STruck me funny that you said there must be tons of it. Probably mostly us MTs. (sm)
I always give tons of praise...
if I see the newbie is consistently giving her best, looking up words and even THINKING about them LOL - I find most newbies are pretty hard on themselves without my help! 
or this one is my fave tons of work..
There usually is for thre first three months at most..then nothing. I have no problem working on the hard accounts, but when it gets down to $30-$50 a day at most, it gets very frustrating. One spends all day logging in a looking for work to find one or two jobs. When you can't pay your bills, you have to move on. I want to find a company that consistently has the work...have yet to find it.....
yes of course I use tons of expanders. At the most 25% normals though.

Tons of up-to-date resources;) sm
Make sure you have all the resources you need that will cover a lot of specialties, especially for ops. I wouldn't worry too much. You will basically just be learning more words. Just have the resources you need for quick finds to help you pick up speed. I'm sure you'll do fine!
Can you email me the name of the company you are starting with? Even though I've been in this business for over 15 years, I don't have the "recent" acute care experience most companies are requesting. However, I do have at least 10 years in the past. Thanks!
HAHAH, bet my question sounded dumb! For some reason I was picturing tuna salad and couldnt figure
My mother in law has tons of toilet paper too!
I mean probably 30-40 rolls at any given time and always feels the need to get more. She says she does that because she was poor as a child and she feels secure when she has a lot of something. She also buys tons canned food, shampoo and soap. Everbody has their reason and it really probably is all about feeling secure having what you think you need.
Want to keep winning? Having fun yet? Got tons more neat stuff!
my 3 y/o girl cat loses tons of hair too...nm
I use a Lanier transcriber - they cost TONS
eBay comes to mind - and what the other poster said about contacting Lanier for a used one. As I know it, a new one is about $600 (?), Lanier being the BEST transcriber around, JMHO
.......with ebay though you have to be very careful.
You should be making tons of lines today. LOL!

I am making tons of money doing tapes.
Just like tapes get misplaced so does digital dictation. Also, have you ever timed how long it takes to download and upload files? I think it runs about the same. I am assuming this is clinic work. So, if you don't go the office, then you'll need patient lists faxed or e-mailed, what have you. It also costs money to have a secure FTP site for transfer. So, no matter how you look at it, there is that time taken for the administrative end of transcription so to speak.
To the OP: I would ask if the problem really is the delivery if you could cut back to two days a week and given them the option of typing STAT reports to be faxed to them OR you could ask if they'd go halfers on a courier service. But, I think the problem is the cutting of the paper, so you may just want to mention that you'll need to attach a fee.
I had to attach a FAX fee to an office that was constantly calling and requiring me to search for letters that they apparently hadn't filed yet, so I started charging them for that service. Guess what? They don't call as much. Just a thought.
But you get tons of deductions and write-offs.

Applied to tons of companies and hear nothing!
Anyone else applied to lots of places and never hear anything? I have 5 years experience and a good resume so I don't understand.
but yet you would state someone's else name so freely when tons of other people read this...
that is my point...i am not trying to be mean or spiteful...i was not the original poster that is why my name is not on here...
hmmm, I have tons, but I'll list some favorites
pt=patient, hle=hyperlipidemia, hx=history, nd=and, nx=nontoxic, gm=gentleman, wsg=worsening, nt=nontender, fp=followup, fup=followup, otc=OTC, otcc=over-the-counter, gi=GI, gii=gastrointestinal, nvd=No nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. The list goes on and on!
Those are just a few of many. I have most brand name meds set up for auto capitalization. I also have abbreviations for most headings, ie: alg=ALLERGIES:, pexn=PHYSICAL EXAMINATION, soh=SOCIAL HISTORY, laby=LABORATORY:.
I don't know what I would do without my expansions. I highly recommend them. Good luck gettin more set up.
Very technical, lots of specialized equipment, and TONS of ESLs.
c
I think it's the temporary files because when it starts acting like this, there are TONS of temp
Even closing Word doesn't make the files go away--I have to delete them manually.
As far as plug-ins, I have tried disabling them before but no luck. I can go months without a problem, plug-ins and all, and then, BAM, it starts happening all the time. I usually start holding my breath when I have a string of "crash-less" days (even more than I usually do to hold my gut in).
I'm beginning to think it's those automatic updates from Microsoft that are adding gremlins...can't say that I'm not beyond thinking that Mr. Gates would have his reasons for doing that, although I can't say for sure what they might be right now.
I'm open to any more ideas you might have.
I honestly have to agree; even after a nursing degree, with tons of biology, ....sm
anatomy, epidemiology, physiology, chemistry, etc., it all comes down to intricate knowlege of the human body, in all specialties and subspecialities, along with excellent grammar/punctuation, BOS, great listening/interpretive skills, computer/peripheral skills....there is really so much to this career that I really get more than annoyed when referred to a "medical typist." We need constantly changing, growing, intimate knowledge of the human body, pharmacology, psychiatry, surgical specialties, special procedures, and how many of us, as the doctor is stumbling over his dictation or cutting himself off have to KNOW what the doc SHOULD BE dictating at a certain point during a quadruple bypass or salpingo-oophorectomy? I think you may do very well with oral surgery/dentistry, and even some maxillofacial surgery/plastic surgery, but in-depth understanding and knowledge, along with all the tech troubleshooting, listening skills, constant vigilance in editing, etc., comes with a comprehensive and up-to-date program, continuing education, and lots of hard work and mentoring. The AAMT modules, in addition to my own courses, helped me out tremendously in Surgery, General Med, and Radiology/Diagnostic Imaging. Good Luck!
I was thinking more like Oklahoma, midwest, etc. Tons there and have plenty of family members who wo

I look at the jobs posted and tons of MTs are applying. I am employed but not terribly pleased with
prefer OPs and have done MT work for about 16 years. I have worked for MQ for 11 years for the Univ. of Pa. which they lost and now I am working for a small company in Michigan with just tons and tons of crap work. I would like an IC job with OPs if possible.
how are they going to get used to all the dictators
if your source says they cherry pick and only do American dictators? Sounds like never. But you knew that.
PS: Are you absolutely sure your source has your best interest in mind with this detailed ratting on another person regarding Indian cherry picking doing non-Indian work?
