Agree it's the dictator's report and the dictator's call. NM

Might be obvious but who is SE?

maybe you need a man because of your obvious
That's obvious-we all used to be something
but we don't make posts with our former titles. Get over it..
its you and its very obvious
Well then its obvious that you don't have much
faith in your children nor your parenting skills if you have not taught them how to make decisions for themselves.
It is obvious
they don't care. It is not only cardiac docs either.
Thank you, Dr. Obvious...
Doctor dictates:
"The patient takes Doxepin for insomnia. He has been taking 25 mg four of them at time, but I am prescribing 100 mg tablets which is the same."
This just made me giggle...
OK, now it's obvious to me...
could be wrong, but it seems that they are paying you ONLY after they get paid. That means you are at the mercy of the accounts payable department of the hospital... I never work for an MTSO when MY payment is tied to THEIR payment from their clients.
This may be obvious, but...
I am pretty sure that she was referring to the manner in which her very unsupportive post was worded, i.e. "a REAL transcriptionist". How in the world is that helping someone who is coming here for a little bit of help and, dare a person aspire for, a kind word... anyway, just mho.
Let's take a moment to put ourselves in her shoes instead of trying to think of a way to boost our own ego. Perhaps the place in which she worked had a different style, a different format. I even have done some recent work for a hospital who wants all of their references to the spinal disks spelled disc (even though this is specifically a no-no with AAMT). I'm not an expert, but if there were a helpful thing that I could think of to say, it would be to buy of borrow a current AAMT Book of Style (3rd Edition) and make sure that you are all up on your format and style. Anyway, good luck!!
It is so obvious
that some of these docs do not have the first idea what they are going to say when they dial in. They have not bothered to organize their thoughts or mentally outline what they intend to dictate. They just 'wing it,' go back and add, delete whole paragraphs, then maybe say virtually the same thing as the deleted section somewhere else. I've learned never to delete but to cut sections just in case they get pasted back in someplace else.
One guy in particular says things like: 'Put temperature was 98.3 degrees and say BP was 130/70 and write respirations were 18 and could you say weight was 225 pounds, and like, he was sort-of short of breath?'
How do you verbatim that? Dude! I'm not you pal and we're not having a conversation here. Do you realize I'm supposed to be transcribing EVERY SINGLE WORD YOU SAY?
Do you have any clue what they are up to. It is obvious they are up to something.
I just hope everyone is calling Corporate.
sorry for your obvious hairball. nm

It was such an obvious question
I am sorry but it was such an obvious question at least to me and kind of reminded me of a Jeff Foxworthy song/routine. They mail their payments to you where your business headquarters or your AP/AR is located. It is like your car insurance you drive in California but your insurance headquarters are located in Arizona so where do you mail your check??? Or the MT's that work in a different state, where do you send those checks? It just struck me ironic that someone who was thinking of doing what you are venturing out to do would have such a basic question to ask. Struck me as a little weird. And yes I have been an MTSO for 18+ years now. Good luck to you and I hope your accounts follow you with your move and you are able to pick up more accounts wherever you move. You might be the next big national and then you can come back and really let us have it. Again, good luck. Patti
It is SOOOOO obvious who you are
And it was so obvious last night who you were as you were posting with different names about what you were "eating". Please.
I am NOT starting flames. I was trying to let the OP know that not everyone on this site is mean and nasty. This place has really become a hole in the wall since you started frequenting the joint. Makes me wonder why I waste my time.
Obvious what 1 requirement is...
Obvioulsy one of the requirements of becoming an MT is rudeness and being quick to judge! I was just asking for suggestions and what being an MT entailed. In no way did I suggest that I had any idea about what MT requires of a person. Sheesh!
I know if someone posted on the engineering forums I am a part of I would be more than happy to give them suggestions on how to get started, different paths they could take, ect. Then again, I like to impart my experience so maybe I can help others learn from my mistakes so they don't have to make the same ones.
Obviously MTs work from home for a reason - seems that most of you don't work well with others!! Only 1 person actually took my post for what it was and told me their experience!! That's a real shame.
Obvious that law was written by men
Do they think that because we have breasts we can't drive correctly? OMG.
This is especially upsetting, seeing as most females who are getting permits are teenage years and breast cancer is not so common in that age range.
As an aside, a friend of mine had to go in for a mammogram a while back. Her insurance company refused to pay for it. Said it was not a necessary exam because she is "not old enough to need a mammogram". Her doc found a lump and wanted the test. Why is this not necessary?
I should think the answer would be obvious. They will take less money. nm

It's obvious she didn't mean cases
that actually required ER attention. You are just stirring the pot.
It's quite obvious from your post that you have never suffered....sm
from depression and I take it from your moniker that you are a man, which explains a lot. Please refrain from commenting on things you obviously know NOTHING about.
Not obvious to me. Not all well-compensated MTs are in management.
They're just good at their job. Not hard to understand.
the overstating the obvious award goes to
gotta love residents - "the left lower extremity part of the physical exam could not be performed due to a left lower extremity amputation."
So true. Or an obvious misspelling does not

This is such an assinine remark, obvious you

IMO, a thread is closed when it is obvious
that nothing new is added to the OP and it deteriorates into a 'troll', unjustified insults, foul language and just tit for tat, going in circles.
True, as the moderator pointed out, it is not moderated for 'niceness.' but the post has to be civil. One can make a stronger point with politeness than with disrespect.
OP also stated.....
"obviously upper middle class"....so that does definitely have a bearing on the response made. There are so many variables here as well as trying to compare almost apples and oranges. I'm very sorry that happened to the little girl, but they knew she had been already for for 14 hours; they don't even know where Holloway is; she was in a foreign country when she disappearing and said foreign country is not sharing any information. There is a big difference between these two cases.
With all that being said, I do absolutely agree on one thing; there has been way too much coverage on Natalee Holloway. I don't believe they will ever find her. It was much too easy to throw her weighted body into the ocean or, maybe she was sent into South America to be used as "whatever they wish to make her do". I haven't heard any reports on incoming or outgoing flights from Aruba during that night have you? All it takes is a little single engine plane to do the job.
What I stated before was---
I don't object to people breaking into food stores for water or food, but why do they need to steal TV sets, break into people's homes to steal jewelry, guns, etc. That is STEALING, folks, like it or not. Why do they need to steal TV sets now when there is no power to begin with??? If they were just taking items that they needed to survive, that's one thing, but to take advantage of a horrible situation is reverting to the law of the jungle. The fact that these IDIOTS are SHOOTING AT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO HELP THEM IS A CRIMINAL ACT! As I have said many times before on this board-- a situation like this brings out the best in some people and the worst in others! The ones who are doing all the looting, shooting, rapes, etc. already had that mentality and are just using this as an excuse. They are not helping anybody by doing this, including themselves.
Yes, it should be stated that 500 lph
Not many people can crank out 500 lph and if they do, it's because the account has many normals and templates. That's rare, especially in acute care.
Even if you could transcribe 500 lph, 6 cpl is still WAY TOO LOW. Do not accept that rate of pay unless you feel that's all your work is worth.
Who stated they took the AHP
I am actually a graduate from one of the top 3 schools, never had any problems finding a job after school. It is a disappointing field to get into, people expect you to work like a worker in a sweat shop. I especially feel bad for people who have been in this business for many, many years, have the CMT credential and don't get the pay they deserve. In all actuality, it doesn't matter where you got your training or your credientials, you still don't get paid what you are worth.
However, I am glad I researched the schools 3 years ago before getting sucked into one of the diploma mills.
As stated below...
...the pedal you currently have should be compatible to play .wav files.
I had one the other day that stated
Patient was given an insect at 150 mg per hour for 12 hours. Yuk!
obvious management post here as usual nm

Right! It's pretty obvious who the miserable person is here!
You're math is correct. It is obvious
the new plan is designed to reward high producers. There's no away around that fact. If you currently do 1200 lines a day and you want to earn incentive on the new plan, you will have to either get faster for the same hours you work now or restructure your work days to be longer and get more production.
I think everyone has the idea that a new plan means that everyone is going to benefit and that everything is going to automatically be better and improved for all. Not true.
MQ has changed their pay and benefits plan to better increase their revenue. They were not making changes to harm nor help MTs, necessarily. These are business decisions. This is now what they are offering for pay and benefits and we can take it or leave it.
Personally, I believe they want fewer employees, all high producers, and it would be cheaper for MQ to have a smaller workforce of high-producing MTs and pay them overtime than an abundance of low to mid-range producers. This plan will help ensure some of that.
Regardless of what some of the mealy mouths say on this board about me, I am not happy with the way this plan impacts all MTs. Not at all. I'm just not going to be upset about it because every single one of us do have options and those who feel uneasy about this plan should heed their intuition and explore other options.
I think this is the beginning of a slow attrition among the MT workforce.
This is strictly my opinion.
What is with all the obvious spam postings today?

Your obvious ignorance is not worth responding to, NM

When are people going to look past the obvious "someone got my job"
s
Yes, I thought that was obvious. I totally understand that too. sm
Even though I'm listening to the reports and typing them out then doing my own proofing and editing someone is having to listen to them again and correct my errors. THAT person deserves and needs to be paid as well. Not to mention the company needs to make a little profit. So even if the company is being paid say, 12cpl, after paying me and my QA I'm sure it comes out fair.
I want to thank everyone here for their advice and opinions and helping me to sort this out in my own mind. 
I think I am getting a fair wage.
No, but it's pretty obvious that the longer you leave it up,
the higher your chance is. That is why if you are not using it, you should shut it down.
Another management reply. Pretty obvious, huh?
:/
It's obvious that you don't bother to read posts...
just post garbage comments.
I quit looking, too. It's obvious there aren't ANY jobs
It's Transolutions, as stated above.

Excuse me, but as has been stated
very different. I'm happy that you have a good one, but we don't all get bonuses...even if we have excellent QA. So how 'bout gettin' off the high horse and jumping to conclusions when you may not have all the FACTS?
As I stated right at the beginning....
If it were ME, I would be blaming myself. Each and everyone of us are responsible, one way or another, as to what happens in our lives. Too many people over the past so many years find it much easier to place the blame elsewhere. That is one of the problems with our society. I was "accused" of being an over-protective parent as my child grew up, but guess what, he never, ever even came close to an incident such as that, or close to being kidnapped or any of the other things going on in the world; didn't fall down steps; wasn't involved as a passenger in a car accident, wasn't around drug users or "bad" people, because I PAID ATTENTION...I didn't allow accidents. Accidents are only LACK OF ATTENTION and lack of common foresight!
Also, my "over-protectiveness" did not in any way inhibit my child's growth. He is a Gunnery Sargeant in the Marine Corps and handles great responsibility well and has the foresight and the attention needed to prevent accidents!
As for the driver of that car, I'm not trying to "take their side"....I'm just saying we don't know what the circumstances were....my goodness, we have all run over something in the road at one time or another and when the weather is inclement or it is dark, sometimes you don't know what it is. I would certainly hope that if they knew it was a child, of if they find out through newscoverage that they ran over a child, that they will come forward. I'm sure that at least 99.9999% of people out there will not willfully run over anyone. Perhaps he/she looked down at the dashboard or the left rear window for just that one second and felt a thump as he car moved on. Probably wondered what it was but had no idea whatsoever that it was a child....why would any driver in their right mind think that a 2 year old was out on the highway at 2:00 AM or midnight or whenever it was????? 
as stated below, sounds like
office mangers padding their own pockets, NOT MQ policy... I would take it all the way to corporate
You have just stated my feelings exactly. nm
xx
The letter I got clearly stated that you can opt out
of ASR and do strictly MT. I was told when I trained on DEP that at some point there would be a reduction for those doing ME. I see no reason to bail, as my office, at least, was up front with me. It's unfortunate if some offices were not.
It would be x3 or 3 times if stated
that way.
That was NOT how you stated, read
I am glad I don't do you line counts either, but I can bet they are not 2500 in 8 hours!!!
spaces are usually stated -- with or without
it's no trick at all
if they say just 65 characters, i would think spaces are not paid
yes, you could call them and that is what you should do
