In Reply to: This is totally illegal. You cannot deny an - no way
Sorry but the mention of felony convictions or any legal trouble isn't covered by the Equal Opportunity Employment act!!
A legal record is in place for those who commit crimes for a REASON. It represents the choices an individual has made.
A company has EVERY right to deny employment to someone with a legal past and SHOULD.

I've lost my note about where to buy ear bud covers (sm)
I've seen posted here before but can't find where I made a note of it. Were can you get the ear bud covers that fit over the little rounded ear buds that companies usually supply. Mine are so dead I finally threw them away. I've washed them so often they are in pieces. I saw where you could buy a set of 12 but now can't find it. Anyone out there have a clue? I'd truly appreciate your letting me know where. Thanks loads and have a great productive day (if you have to work like I do). 
OMG! You've GOT to be kidding!
This is not the original responder. Babe, you need to realize that the world does NOT revolve around your mouse finger.
You've got to be kidding...right?
omg you've got to be kidding? the OP was
lol
You've GOTTA be kidding.....
Gastric bypass is an elective surgery. Any surgeon foolish enough to perform it, with the knowledge that the patient was not NPO prior to, is setting themself up for a major (no chance of winning) law suit. Moreover, any patient that would not adhere to the NPO stipulation prior to the surgery should not have passed the required psychological testing given as part of the pre-surgical work-up.
I know several MTs who have had felonies. sm
in fact, one of the big MTSO companies has a recruiter with heavy baggage. It didn't seem to bother her. Best of luck in your future.
I've been told, "Work harder and faster, and you'll make more." Not kidding. nm

covers
I get mine at Radio Shack.
Wow! Thanks! That pretty much covers it. :)
I'm leaning toward the ham and asparagus casserole. My hubby and I love asparagus.
The kids can have cereal. 
Head set covers
Just wondering, anyone know where to get the little ear muff covers for headsets?
Just make sure that if they have insurance that covers it all - sm
that they don't take the $ and run. I thought about doing something for my daughter for her cancer (Wilm's tumor) but luckily did not need to....our insurance has covered all but maybe $100 so far....costs over $60K....have to pay the copays to most of the visits and a misc. fee not covered here and there....probably cost us $300 when all is said and done. Bills/statements dribble in slowly. I can handle that, my kid is alive and that is what is important. Just make sure it is all on the up and up....as horrible as any life-threatening disease is many see it as a way to make free money.
IT eliminates, not covers up, odors...nm

replacement covers for earphones
Does anyone know where I can get replacement covers for my earphones? I am using a Pearlcorder microcassette machine and they are small?
Here's another that covers A LOT! Good post, BTW! sm
http://linksformts.googlepages.com/
Yes, I have 2 jobs-- the 2nd one covers what my DH used to make at a side job- sm
more actually. It was our college fund $, now it also covers our life insurance payments---grant I am working more now and he less, but he watches the kids a lot, does all the cooking (I have to clean it all up however), takes them out to give me quiet on 1 weekend day, etc. So if your husband/SO is willing to pick up the slack it is doable. Yes, our house could be a lot cleaner too but once every 2 weeks my husband and I do a marathon clean together, and I stay on top of the laundry so that does not get out of hand.....average 5-6 hours of sleep a night but sleep in on Saturday and Sunday until 8---you can do it but it will keep you hopping!
That only covers the income tax, not the social security tax.
You will have to pay the social security tax on your IC pay.
Consumer Reports June 2005 covers this.....sm
type of information if you'll go to your local library they usually have a copy available there. Happy researching!
I would think acute care covers wider range
But I'm not sure myself. Would also cover OP notes more extensively and ER reports. Maybe someone will tell us both!
Great West covers Botox for headaches.
Otherwise, go to a neurologist. It only costs $425 and worth every penny.
It sometimes is really hard to transcribe patients complaining about their headaches when your own head is about to explode. I did learn how to take charge of my own care, which happened to be extremely useful because the pain management physician I was assigned to ended up being the biggest idiot on earth. I was finally able to change doctors.
I use EXText with my current job and I've used at a couple of other jobs I've had. I've ne
used DocQscribe, but I have used Meditech, Cerner, Vianeta, the Precyse platform (I can't remember the name), Dolbey, and Lanier platform I think was called Cequence (?).
Out of all the different platforms I have typed on, I have liked EXText the best. In my opinion, it's very user friendly, easy to learn, and I really like ESP which is the built in abbreviation expander. Plus it is very easy to create your own normals which I love. My fingers literally never leave the keyboard because there are macro keys for everything. You can use your mouse if you prefer or learn the function macros. I love it. I think I'm more productive on EXText than with any other platform.
I would buy book by Dog Whisperer. His TV shows covers things like this and would think his book mi

ONCE. All day, every day. LOL Just kidding....
Or not...
No kidding...
All that wind, and very little rain... But it DID manage to snap one of my trees in half, cause another tree to partially uproot, blow a plastic baby pool into our yard, and knock over our nice swing in the backyard! Trees all over our neighborhood are completely knocked over, and this is a subdivision where all the homes have been there 2+ years! Can we say the landscapers sucked?!
Are you kidding me?
That is so low. That just makes me madder.
You have got to be kidding!
You need to re-read your post sister - You indicate Medquist has spent millions regarding the lawsuit and could ONLY spare $20,000 for Katrina victims? You have got to be kidding - what the heck did you give to Katrina victims?
The one thing I can say for MedQuist is at least they are paying their debt and not filing chapter 11 or closing the business or just running and hiding - they are coming clean and that is respectful. What IS NOT respectful is your arrogant remarks regarding them ONLY GIVING $20,000. I want to hear it from you - HONESTLY WHAT DID YOU GIVE?
Get a life and find something better to gripe about. I could only imagine if they gave a million dollars, you would be whining again because you want a raise and here they are giving all this money away. UGH - good golly!
I will assume that if I don't get a response back from you that you gave nothing to Karina victims and are speechless.
no kidding
it certainly does make a mockery of this so-called profession. Corporate material?....no! Trailer park material.....absolutely! And I love it - I come here for entertainment! LOL!
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!
Where??? The only time you hear from them is when they want to be nasty and mean to you for not doing enough work!!! SS s***s.
you have to be kidding me
peep is just people...in the 'old times' it was a peeping tom, get with the times.........don't get so OFFENDED!!!!!!!!
you are kidding, right?
you are kidding.
Are you kidding?
Look, stand up for your business. At 0.8 per gross line, with that many templates and time, she has no excuse but to get it right. None of my accounts would tolerate that. She must take no pride in her work. And if you keep making her corrections, etc., you are hurting yourself. If she were a friend, she would want to get it right and be grateful for the work. Has she heard of "spellcheck"? I have helped friends out and they have helped me, but we would expect the best, not just "get through with it as fast as possible". Rethink this person kiddo. There's gotta be someone else who would appreciate this work.
Are you kidding?
We both work and neither one of us wants to be bothered talking on the phone during the day. We talk when he gets home.
RU kidding????
I'll have U know I DID work at BK from 1974-76 when in hi school and NO WAY would I trade my keyboard fingers for french frie smell! LOL Ewww....they always stuck me on fries (couldn't deal with customers) - yuck. I always had french fry hair from that darn cap I had to wear!
Are you kidding?
Sorry, don't mean to sound mean, but do you not know what court reporting is? There is no way that this can be done from home. You have to document what is said while it is being said in the courtroom. Sheesh!
You have GOT to be kidding...
Please tell me you are kidding! Unbelievable how naieve some people are, simply unbelievable! 
You really should go to the ER. No kidding.
I have a dear friend who is in his early 50s. He has the standard headaches and takes his BC Powders.
Last year at Christmas he was going home for the holidays and I had gone by his office to wish him happy holidays, and he was literally laying on the table with the worst h/a ever he said. His eye was even a little blood shot (like you get with a really bad h/a).
On the way home, he finally couldn't take it anymore and pulled into an ER about 20 minutes from where he lives.
Within minutes they had done a CT and had him on a helicopter to Univ of Ala at B'Ham.
He had a brain tumor! Never would have thought it - wouldn't have ever even considered to think that. He was healthy as a horse.
So, please go to the ER. BTW he had surgery and he is doing really good. But he wouldn't have if he hadn't stopped and pulled into that ER that day.
Not kidding
Spirits in the house - go ahead and laugh, or tell me you wanted a serious answer. That is one. I've seen it before.
Are you kidding me???
Next week they're all going to sing Queen??? The only one I can see pulling that off is Chris. Can you imagine Bucky and Kelly singing Queen?
You have got to be kidding!
That should not be acceptable!
Are you kidding?
I realize I have troubles now with this icky account, but for me to work with SC's, well, I might as well jump from the fry pan straight into the fire - been there and done that and no more. I've had it up to here with subcontractors, hearing all their excuses as to why they can't work (my kid's got the sniffles - I started my period - I have a headache - My third cousin in Omaha is sick, and I have to call her, yada, yada, yada) and I've had it up to here with looking at their sloppy work. Working with SCs? NEVER AGAIN!
LOL...no kidding

You are kidding, right? I cannot believe you
MTs WOULD drink while working. Absolutely no way I would drink until my work was done, same as if I worked in a hospital.
You have got to be kidding me. LOL.
You were bashing their dictating habits because they were ESLs, now don't try to say you weren't. If that isn't about race then I don't know what is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bad dictators come in all shapes, sizes, colors. Any good MT knows that.
Are you kidding??? sm
It was already almost 80 at 6 this morning. High expected to be in the mid 90s, with heat index over 100...thank the good Lord above for A/C!!!  ---me when I go outside!
6.5 cpl are you kidding
I was just offered a position with one of the major nationals. I have 12 years of experience in multiple specialties in clinic work with many ESL dictators and some experience in acute care and ER but remote. I have been working as an IC at 8 cpl for the longest time, which is okay but no benefits. They had an incentitive program but come on. Is this really the going rate?
kidding? uh uh.
I am paid production . . . period. I work as fast as I can and do as well as I can. I do not slow myself down to go back and re-read something I just transcribed. Sure I make mistakes now and then, but not often enough to slow myself down by rereading everything. That is insane. I am realistic. I am not a saint. I do not hold myself out as a representative of this bright shining idea of perfect Transcriptionist working loyally for less and less money and fewer and fewer benefits as the years go by.
You have got to be kidding me!
LOL...no kidding! nm

are you kidding me
Off shore MT get patient lists with SS# addresses, which can also be dictated and personal and social history - many also handle the billing for the clients as well - which includes even more information. - okay so maybe not the MT themselves in every instance - but the companies they work for - are you telling me that you have never received a patient list with personal information other than names? even on VPN systems, this information can be dictated and is available with a search. I agree we all need to get involved not as MTs, but as Americans - every individual no matter what work they do needs to know and demand their personal information be kept within the USA
OMG you have GOT to be kidding!
The sad thing is, I'm sure you're not. 
No kidding!
The ctl+ctl fails to open for me sometimes also! The only connection I've made is that it sometimes happens after I close the alt+S screen. The only way I knew to get the function of ctl+ctl back is to shut down and start all over. Can you remember what you did to reactive the ctl+ctl feature? I don't know if I could replicate your twitch. LOL.
By the way, does anyone else have problems (sometimes) looking up doc names with ctl+A? Meaning, if you type something like k? to do a search, you would only get the first doctor in the database (his/her name would be Ka---. This is driving me nuts.
I'm still pretty new with EXText, so I feel pretty inadequate sometimes.
Are you kidding?
I just want to keep my electricity turned on so I can work! I do NOT have a garage. I do NOT have a house, I can barely pay my rent and have to buy my kids clothes at the second-hand store. Don't preach to me about luxury! You've got to be kidding! Speak for yourself.
