but youre still giving them your money...that is not the answer sm
Just dont go to the fastfood joints that practice this at all...it's that simple. You better believe I'll be finding out who's taking my order before I eat out again!
If your just working for health insurance, then youre
And that, m'dear, is a big part of the problem in this profession. Women who won't stand up to anyone, and pretend to be happy for the crusts of bread they're tossed while shackled to their PCs.
did you google for hyperbaric oxygen in ***, name of town or county where youre moving? sm
might have to start wtih the state and narrow it down from there, too.
You are the JERK here
I always thought some of you on this board were just mean and catty to each other. Now I see you hate everyone equally. You are unbelievable. I am just glad I don't have to live with YOUR conscience.
who is the jerk
Are you calling the White people jerks? i.e., Irish, English, Arabic, Chinese, Iranian, Cajun, Creole, Japanese, Egyptian, Canadian, etc.? or the People of color - African Americans, Haitians, Fijians, Africans, Bahamians, Cubans, plus the aforementioned, mixed up any one of the above could be your cousin, ya overseer!
why your men cheat
they cheat because you expect it as "it's in their nature." You must not require more from them. I mean it's like a dog (not being funny). If you expect that they will pee in the house and train them to go out, that is what they will do. If you don't have any standards as to how you want to be treated and what lines they cannot cross, then you will get the bottom of the barrell and be treated badly. You need to have some self-value and make it known from the beginning what is expected and follow through.
I can certainly see why YOUR man would cheat
I certainly would if I was married to you.
Get over the bitterness and GROW THE "H" UP ALREADY!!! 
I'm not trying to cheat either
I just want to be able to eat 2000 calories a day but only have 900 of those calories actually go in my own body and have my husband take the remaining 1100 calories in his body since he's so skinny. Is that cheating?
You really sound like a jerk. I am trying
to help people and you want them to type their charts wrong. Reread your posts!
Some of the best sex I have had has been alone. Sex is no reason to put up with a jerk.

I know men cheat, its in their nature. I'm just saying
 They don't commit either, and when we get cheated on or rejected it hurts and its just difficult. I wish they weren't like that, always wanting to go after something younger, better or sexier, but yes thats the way it goes. Its awful. Women get the short end of the stick in just about everything. I'm not saying there are no good men out there, but for the most part, I just cannot ever trust one or give up my life for one ever again. Its sad. Guys can find committment and love easily but we women have to claw, grip and lose our minds to find it and hold on to it.
can you cheat and make sm
the stuff you want to stay put as a "header", and that way it's unaffected by the centering of the rest of the document?
Or will someone see that and have a problem with it?
I mean, just do that until you can figure out something else, or until someone more brilliant than my good self comes along ;-)
I'll give it some more thought.
If I read this right, you only want PART of this document centered vertically on the page, right? Just a decorative letterhead? I mean, to me, like I said, I'd just set that up as a header and not give it a second thought. If I'm misunderstanding what you are saying, let me know.
HTH :-)
Add my husband to the JERK list!!!!
He's mad at me because he's off work for a week but I'm not. He expects me to be available to him whenever he wants me to do something with him or for him. (No, not that, silly.) He wants me to work and make money, but not if it interferes with his plans for me. He's turned into a real jerk lately. 
In other words, these people don't know who's being a jerk to them
So I fail to see how "telling someone off" while hiding behind a monitor gives anyone any sense of empowerment, but to each his own.
This intelligent MT sees you for what you are, a jerk.
Wow, what an attitude you have. I wonder what you were like as an MT? Mean? Sniping? Backstabbing? Intelligent MTs do appreciate their QA people. Intelligent QA people don't go off like bottle rockets in public like you have. You need the attitude adjustment, not the MT.

He's a jerk and I'm an intermittent fool.
When was the last time you linked to a website link and got the response "too many hits?" It just looks all too contrived. I have to admit that I did link there, but won't try it again. Maybe he's just getting a big kick out of the attention this is bringing, and our resultant frustration. Now, I will be running my Spyware and deleting any new cookies that are found.
I wouldn't help someone cheat on a test. sm
If she can't pass on her own, how will she do the actual work?
Okay, what is Jerk BBQ and the bread? sounds good!
some jerk wanted to kill my pigeons
I have lots of doves, regular birds (sparrows, finches, you name it) and pigeons frequent my property cause I put bird seed down. I had some guy come by last winter and ask if he could pay me to catch the pigeons so they could kill them and eat them..I said, honey, I love animals and there is no way Im gonna let you come here and kill my pigeons..you are talking to the wrong person, LOL..
THAT is when constructive feedback helps, not being a jerk about it.
QA should remember how it felt to be MT and struggling to get it right.
You are too funny with the MEN CHEAT post. I had to call my
He's working out of state (isn't that just handy?). He was NOT amused because, of course, HE CHEATS! I am not 100% certain, but he's a lying, dishonest, deceitful person whom I have no trust in whatsoever. He REALLY didn't like your solution to the problem...hee, hee. I DID! It does hurt, though, no matter what. MEN DO NOT HAVE TO CHEAT--it is a CHOICE. I don't trust any of them anymore.
don't cheat yourself out a really good experience just because of fear...sm
I went to Africa in January to volunteer in a medical clinic for 18 days. Talk about leaving your comfort zone. There were two nights in particular where I really, really, really wished I wasn't there. But turned out to be a profoundly life changing experience. The word is "feel the fear but do it anyway."
the majority cheat..those who don't usually find the value in being an employee.
tsk, tsk, tsk..teaching your children to lie and cheat..nice..NOT
sucking up? how is being polite in an email instead of being a jerk supervisor

And the CEOs keep finding new ways to cheat and bonuse themselves.
 while keeping MTs from making any money at all. We are the ones who pay for the bonuses for CEOs, lawsuits and bad business decisions.
Considering past billing problems, why cheat anyone out of even 2 cents? nm

They dont need to cheat now since they have lowered all the lines pay and will probably push like
crazy now to get everything they can on ASR.
Sick of slow systems that cheat you out of lines!
 I am just so sick and tired of going to the trouble of testing and listening to recruiters tell you how wonderful the company is to work for only to learn later that the system is slower than molasses, has a sub-rate spell checker and knocks you off after each report you transcribe. I haven’t come across a user friendly platform yet. My current job cheated me out of 63 lines the other week and the new job I just started says in the contract they pay for spaces. I checked the numbers and used my own line counting software – guess what . . . screwed again. Are there any small companies left in the world, which allow you type in Word and pay on time?
Do not cheat you chose to retire earlly deal with it
That is part of the problem everyone wants everything. If you took early retirement, stay retired. Do no try to go around the system or the rules. If everyone pays their full share it is fair. But when you try to cheat hopefully it will come back and bite you as we do not need this . Everyone needs to pay taxes on their income whether it is IC or employee. If everyone pays their share it is fair. You chose early retirement, deal with it.
These knee jerk bleeding heart liberals could not take responsibility for their
actions if it hit them in the face as it did with Mrs. Twitty. The Arubans are sick and tired of her and frankly so am I. Wash the makeup off your face, take off the false eyelashes and go grieve for your daughter.
The sex is too good. LOL Besides, I'm a committed girl. I do love him. He's just a jerk somet

I am well aware of that - just angry that parents teach their kids to cheat! nm

Jerk BBQ steak, beets, new potatoes, grilled zucchini and red peppers.
I'm hungry already.
Correction - Men and women cheat - men get caught - women don't
I know more women who cheat than the other way around, and the difference is that no one knows about it unless THEY tell them.
Not new to the field either. Been there and seen it. (sm)
However, routing is NOT ALWAYS the only problem. Times when bonuses are out show a vast difference in dictators that are left to type and number sequence of the jobs. There are some who do cherry pick and return these jobs to pool. In a smaller hospital setting this was not so prominent because others could see it, print out a report and show the boss who would address it in one way or another.
Unfortunately, we are such big organizations now and the people in the digital rooms are just worried about keeping TAT that they don't care who does it as long as it gets done.
Then world is not a perfect place and you cannot be pleasant and assume good things will happen always. People do cheat, people do send back reports they don't make good money on.
It certainly is not the company I am distressed about, it is the few (or I assume just a few) little prima donnas who are doing this "me, me, me" thing. You can choose your company, you just can't choose your co-workers.
Until a wand comes down from the Heaven's and casts a Pollyana spell on all of us, I don't think your new attitude idea will work.
are you new to this field or are you just
uninformed? A few months back, the AAMT subject was brought up on this board. One single question was asked: What has the AAMT done to help improve the pay and overall career for the American MT? After days, I don't think there was one, single positive post to that question. Oh, yes for sure, there was a lot of "spin" but not one direct positive answer. Do you know something we don't? If so, could you please share it with us?
Welcome to the field!
I've been in the field for about 22 years. Stedmans Words Books are a great resource and easy to use. Google words when you get stuck and best of luck!!! Stay away from Amherst....
another field
I often think about another field as I am tired of transcribing (going on 9 years now) and then there is asking my PS questions and its like pulling teeth to get an answer because honestly I don't think she knows and also not feeling like I'm being pay for what I feel is a hard day's work. So maybe for me something in the beauty industry like esthetician where your also providing a service for people that want to feel good about themselves.
What field? (nm)

how best to get into the field
Hello. I am reading the messages about certification, AHDI, AAMT, etc and see that you have a very reasonable message. My sister wants to get into the MT field and I want to help her as much as I can. What would you recommend in today's employment outlook, for her to do to pursue this? I was steering her towards accredited schooling and the RMT or CMT, but after reading this Board, I am now very confused!
I'm currently looking to get out of the MT field too
I can see it going down hill really quick and it worries me. I don't know what I will do if MTing isnt around even long enough for me to get out of the field first. I wouldn't just go get any job though. I would need to go to school for something so I can make sure I would be making more money than I do now and have better insurance and benefits. I would love a job where I could just work 8 hours a day. Some days I sit here from 8 am to 8 pm or later just to get enough lines in to pay my bills. It sucks and I'm sick of doing it.

I don't know if any particular field is more difficult
than the next, if all you do is type one speciality. I think ER and Psych are mentally hard because with ER a lot of the patients die and it is depressing and then psych is depressing because of the severe dysfunction of the patients and/or their families. Oncology can be depressing too cause outcomes are not always great and like the previous poster said frequent new meds.
I used to transcribe for a teaching hospital connected to a medical school and that dictation was very hard, much more technical than your normal hospital, lots more dictators too and a new crop every July.
I wish I had read this BEFORE getting in the field
It may have been great once, but it looks like dog meat now.
Returning to MT field
I went through a training program and then worked one year for a national - Spheris. Had some health issues (and a young son paying daycare for) so gave my notice and got done. That was several years ago. My son is now in kindergarten and want to do medical transcription again.
What is IC and how does that work? Do all nationals have this? How does part time work for most of these companies?
Any hints on brushing up on my skills before I return.
Thank you for your help,
Hopeful MT
But you have to look deep down within you and ask why you are even in this field and
why being an SE is so important to you? To be honest, I've been an MT for quite a while and an SE MT for MQ for over 6 years now. The flexibility has been, well, too good to be true. I, too, can say that I haven't been a perfect MT because I havent keep to my "schedule" even though I have on as an SE. I just pretty much come and go as I please. Can you honestly say you do the same with your company? And are you with MQ? Well, that is just not really fair to them, if you really want to dig down and get honest here. They need to know that their clients will be covered all around the clock and their SEs just really are not consistent and I think all companies need consistency. It's funny, I am in the process of looking for another job, and have interviewed with quite a few folks and once they decide they want me - it's all about - hours, hours, hours. When can you work, what time of day can you start, can you work weekends, can we have that in writing?
Ok, I just had an ENTIRE post of great advice on 401 K programs for part-timers and it got deleted in this very post! That stinks!!!!!
Bottom line is: If you are an SE MT you have nothing invested and when you want to retire you will have nothing. It is sad. No one in my family who is retired or going to be retired have 401 KS and they will be living off the govt. or me, or other working family members. I don't want to be them in 20-30 years. Don't count on Social Security ladies! (and gents).
My husband works for a large corporation and they project when he retires (they send us followups monthly) that when he retires we will be millionares. Well, that sounds great, but what if leaves me for another woman? It happens everyday. And then where will that leave me and my kids? We are devout Christians and I know he is committed, but you just never know. I've seen church members leave their spouses before. I ain't takin the chance! Hence, I will seriously consider investing in 401 as a part time employee (first time in my life) just so that I can have some kind of cushion when I retire, even if its just 30, 40, or 50,000! Hey, if MQ is willing to match earnings, etc, why not? Why just take them for a paycheck? You should seriously, seriously consider all your options if you are an SE, which is what I am right now, and start protecting your future. Especially if you are stay at home mom with little kids. I am a Christian and I feel really led to start doing this. Don't just transcribe your little heart out so that in 20 years you have nothing to show for it.
SE is GREAT for flexibility. But it is NOT a great long-term thing to do to ourselves.
For PT MQers to qualify for 401 k, you have to work a minimum of 1,000 hours a year. You figure out the math. I don't have the time right now! Keep on keeping on girls.
