I was SO tired last night, tried staying up to watch the entire episode, but couldn't. I know Dr. Jones was in labor and her husband was in surgery from an MVA, but fell asleep after that. Can anybody tell me what happened??!!

I did finish the test
I did finish the test, over the weekend. Then Monday had my interview. Then Tuesday was told I got the job if I wanted it. The next day I called and said I'd take it. She said great! I'll have management get with you to arrange delivery of your equipment and everything. I took the job resigned from my job. The she called back 15 minutes later and said I couldn't have the position we discussed. I think its time to get in another line of work possibly. This one can really ruin your self esteem.
To finish the above,,,,,"MONEY"

faux finish
Check out Tatouage on HSN.com or ebay - these are rub-on transfers of different scenes that can be painted over when the time comes. Go on very smooth and look like paint. They are very detailed and look so real, but can be wiped off when necessary without damage. They are great and take a lot less time than painting.
Finish the course. I think there will be a shortage sm
in the future of all medical personnel from MT to MD. Looking at the whole picture, those of us from the baby boomer age are pushing 50 and as families, many of us had 3 or fewer children or none at all. So, in my opinion, that leaves a much smaller volume medical personnel to care for the aging in the future. So, finish that course so you can type my reports when I need them.
Definitely finish with blanks. nm

No way will she finish that course in four months.
Especially with all those kids, she probably won't even finish it at all. It's obvious she's not going to listen to anything you say, so she'll have to learn the hard way.
(If you want to be mean, wait about four months and then ask her for a loan, since she's rolling in the dough!)
I can't think. I mean to finish: wish everyone there was alive and well and the tragedy was just

Want to finish my studies this year - sm
So I can make the kind of living I was used to with less headaches and be able to do some traveling with my work.
Also will be able to buy a bigger house!!!
Ok- so what year did they get the MD after their name? I was told NO they are not until they finish

Thanks for the info...how do you delete their access after they finish? nm

And we were supposed to finish school and work FT (sm)
after being offered a job making $25/hr. with full benefits and supposedly a future? And now we're supposed to go back to school at 50 y/o because of this govt? Are you with the illuminati or what?
This happens to be 2006. There are many, many people who did not finish school because they were offered jobs that paid quite well. Unfortunately, those jobs are now being given to illegals, etc., remember "the jobs that Americans won't do?"
I won't be going back to school, I made enough money. 
Do you relisten to your entire reports after you finish each one or how do you
edit your work before you send it in. Do you reread each one. Sometimes I think you can miss a word if you dont but not sure how to edit before sending without making minimum wage.
I leave a blank and finish the report. - (sm)
Sometimes (if I'm lucky), the doctor will say the same word again later in the report, only clearer.
Even if they don't say the word again, often once I've finished the whole report and am proofreading, if I listen to the word a while later, I can then understand it.
The post below that talks about reading the sentence out loud in that accent is also a good idea that sometimes works for me, too.
If the sentence is a fairly common one you might encounter in other similar reports (like in a physical exam, or a hernia operation, etc.), sometimes finding a few samples of those types of reports online can provide an answer, even if it's a different doctor.
If you have the capability to put that report on 'hold', and go on to the next one, that's also helpful, because you might get the same word again in the next report (especially if it's the same doctor), and you might be able to hear it, then. Even if you don't, setting it aside for a while and then going back to re-listen to it is often the most effective way to unravel some of the 'mystery-words'.
Wall painting faux finish techniques sm
Has anyone ever done their walls in a faux finish technique? I have a rather large room inhabited by my husband and the 2 dogs in the evening while I work, a big screen t.v., a beige fireplace, beige and hunter green wood look vinyl tile on the floor and hunter green furniture. One wall is paneled in a pecan paneling as it couldn't be done any other way. This room was an add on to the house. Right now the walls are a gray color but am looking to paint it something different, something that might not show the splotches caused by the dogs shaking their wet fur on occasion and fingerprints around the switches. I found the softly aged walls technique on the HGTV web site were you use 2 colors and a divided roller and divided pan. I kind of like the look and it looks fairly easy for me to do. Anyone have any ideas?
Encouragement for hard times - are you going to finish strong? sm

finish sentence - hard to reference with small writing and is there a CD available nm

Read the report backwards from end to finish. Works great for me.
Did not finish above...need to find a noise canceling headset for a C-phone, TIA
TIA/
To finish...no one obviously feels like typing up, so the night people get the pool garbage. Grrrr.

Well of course we know that now. Back then we didn't because he didn't allow unfettered access.

right we children didn't tattle to the administrator did we. BTW, didn't you think we were &#
because some half-witted idiot said everyone was jealous because some other anonymous poster said they were going to be a doctor. Didn't they call it doctor envy. Oh yeah, that was all about you wasn't it busy-body MT. You with your degree and premed but yet you still post here and acuse others of jealously. I dunno but you and dano seem so close, I can't put my finger on it but I would say you could be computer clones. Jealous indeed. Children indeed. I think you are blowing your covers) dano and busy body MT. This whole "jealously" thing makes me think that you may be one and the same poster.
I didn't go into labor until 2.5 weeks later, so it didn't work. Sorry!...nm

sorry I didn't have time to thank you, but I didn't forget!!
Didn't you tell me?!?!? No, Liza, you didn't tell me. Hooray for you! lol

Didn't know you could do that...
I didn't know you could pick and choose, thought you just went with what came onto your computer.
Didn't know
How come Transcend isnt allowed to post here? Because of taking on new clients? I dont understand what that means. They don't offshore, right?
Wow. Didn't like that one bit.
I feel sorry for the employees. I can't believe they were making that much inhouse! I was only making $12.00 and had to answer phones, file, photocopy, greet patient's etc. I left to do this and actually make a bit more (and saving tons on gasoline), but to be making $150.00 a day and have benefits? That's gotta hurt. My former employer "offered" benefits, but my health insurance was nearly $600 a month out of my pocket. My husband insures us now for half that. I can't imagine not having that.
I was offended by the part of the article that referred to at home transcriptionists making errors,etc. I know for a fact that most big companies do not hire "newbies." My poor niece was under the impression that all she had to do was take the MT course (don't remember the name, but it was a good one). Even though she graduated early with high honors, she still can't find a job with a national. She found a few local accounts and is only making 5.5 cents per line.
I don't know about everyone else, but I've been doing this for 16 years and I found the "testing" for nationals frustrating! I thought I failed miserably and was shocked when I was hired as my testing was 98% (2 of four dictators being fast talking ESLs and ER reports which I have never done and won't do again).
Ad in my paper today says: "You too can work at home! Become a Medical Transcriptionist!" Seminar held at the holiday Inn and the ad gives the impression that anyone that can actually use a keyboard will be hired right off and make tons of money.
No way, tell me they didn't...sm
"they took out internet fees, insurance, etc."
Maybe I misunderstood the above. You don't mean your regular benefit deductions from a paycheck, do you? I can understand taking out taxes, but I'd raise holy heck about taking out benefit deductions. It certainly is not a regular payroll paycheck.
Along those same lines, I recently separated from a company that I worked for 2-1/2 months. When I first started, I had signed up for health insurance and the flexible spending account. You know, there's usually a 3-month waiting period before these benefits begin, and before they start taking out the deductions. Since I gave notice before the 3 months was up, I was shocked to see they began taking the deductions out on my last paycheck. I told the supervisor that I wanted that money back. They did make me wait for the next payroll, but I received that money back just today! It's worth a try!
2 cents, huh? As if you're not insulted already by the fact that they cheated you in the first place. The MTs should demand to know how they arrived at their amounts, and then be able to verify it.
I worked for them for 2 years and my line counts rarely matched theirs. Supervisors could not explain the discrepancy either. Two months after I quit, the news about the MT class-action lawsuit came out. Personally, I don't trust them.
Have a great time shopping on your unexpected money!!
I didn't have any out of the NE
yesterday either...the Warminster office. Haven't checked yet today...almost afraid to!
No I didn't see
Scarborough Country last night. This whole mess is so sad and government at all levels is a disgrace. People quibbling over whether they are "refugees" or "evacuees." How utterly ridiculous. Not to mention the quibbling over those who deserve help and those who don't. Those who have already been receiving social services from the government will continue to receive priority help from the government and those who are trying to help themselves will be forgotten just as they have always been.
Didn't you know....
It's more important in PC America to have somebody who speaks every other language EXCEPT English, so that those who can't speak English will be able to conduct their business. In So. California you can hardly get a job dealing with the public unless you can speak Spanish. Same with the border towns in Texas. Talk about discrimination. However, your situation was probably the almighty buck... Cheaper to contract to the call answering centers in India than to hire someone here. I once had to call a tow truck with my AAA card. Guess what? Somebody in India trying to dispatch a tow truck in the United States. Couldn't understand me whatsoever. Same with my computer support number... India. The guy had me clicking on this and that to fix my little problem and before I knew it, he had me return my computer to factory settings (didn't tell me ahead of time and I knew the second I hit the button what I was doing, but it was too late) and I lost everything saved on my computer. I was LIVID!
It is 26% , not 30%. I didn't say 30%.
Get it right. Geez.
Sorry, no. But I didn't want to let
I'm sure you already know there's lots of information on line. My guess is that you wanted to hear someone's personal experience with the same problem. I'm a relative "oldie" myself. 
I also don't have to tell you that your orthopedist is your absolute best and clearest source of information. The only suggestion I do have is that you develop a list of specific questions to ask him, and only him, during your upcoming appointment. Good luck.
I didn't know
they had any ads posted. I was just searching around, googled Transcription companies and found their name, went to web page, etc.
The Website sounds like a totally legit, US MT co. You would never know it was offshore unless you asked. Good thing you asked before you went any further. Wonder why they ran an ad for US MTs if they are offshore? Maybe trying to get a US side started? I will have to keep the reverse lookup in mind, but Im sure not all companies will be that sloppy. I wish there was another way to find out that stuff. Were they nasty to you when you told them you wouldn't type for them? Thanks for the info!!!!
Well, I'[m sure she didn't think of that one!
...and I suppose you are perfect...never made a mistake or had bad judgement? This is NOT what she needs right now. Don't you think she knows she did wrong? Get over it. She is asking some very serious questions and doesn't need any moral opinions, okay?
They said I didn't have...sm
enough experience, which I thought was strange because I have nearly 10 years. They passed on hiring me without so much as a test or speaking to me, and now I am the QA director of another company. Kind of funny. Their loss, not mine! Glad I stayed where I am at.
Sorry, should be DIDN'T see that one.
s
I didn't see it as an ask for help.
deal with it everyday and do my best and go on.
Oh, Wow! Didn't think....
it would be that easy. I was absolutely in the dark on this. 
I will be using the other keyboard, though, because the letters are completely worn off this one. 
Maybe the best, but I tried em and didn't like em.

i didn't say
I worked for a national. Matter of fact i work for a very small company.
didn't anyone tell you to take them at the same
time every day, not the morning 1 day and noon the next, etc?
I didn't have a mean QA, BUT!!!
I had one that made me feel more than inadequate! Nitpicky corrections EVERYWHERE!!! Going as far as--if the whole report was dictated in present tense and 1 word was dictated past, and I changed it to present, I would hear about it--then again, if I didn't change it, I would hear about it, too! It was a no win situation for me.
There were always dumb corrections being made to my reports, always non-medical. I just felt like no matter what way I would do something...I would get corrected back to the other way. I never, EVER got any corrections back that were necessary. Never changed the meaning of any report! I was to the point where I was spending 8-9 hours on 30 minutes of dictation..and I am NOT KIDDING!! trying to make sure that all of the "little" words were perfect. I was so paranoid the whole time--only to get more corrections!
I have QA'd at 99% to 100% monthly (never dropping below) on a verbatim accounts for 2 other companies and just could never understand why I couldn't do ANYTHING right for the other company. 
Needless to say, I am a lot happier now with a much higher line count for sure!! Lol, making as much, if not more, elsewhere in 5 hours a day as I was for the other place 8-9-10 hours a day.
Sorry. I didn't mean to come across as
nasty. There are a lot of companies that pay by report and are good companies. MDI-FL, Keystrokes, MTS, T-South and MVTS all pay by report and I'm sure there are more. Again I apologize for sounding rude.
yea but he didn't look like the old KR....sm
Kenny has been quite open about all the plastic surgery he has had, he and Dolly Parton (good friends) have always been open about their multiple procedures, which I appreciate. Kenny is 67 and just had twin boys not long ago, 5 wives, doesn't believe in prenup agreements, and hence, he admits he has lost tons of $$ via the prior 4 divorces. He was just on TV on someone's special not 2 months ago.
However, I miss that weathered handsome face he always had...he doesn't look like the original KR.
I didn't even know who he was. It is
hard to believe he looked anything like that guy. He wasn't quite as flaming as the other guy though.
I didn't even know who it was until they
said who he was. I did think he looked more masculine, but it also looked like he had had plastic surgery or had a ton of makeup on. He's a local boy but I haven't seen him/heard much about him lately.
Didn't I tell you?
To me it's not slaving. You see, I love, I mean LOVE, to cook. As a matter of fact, I run a small catering business in my spare time. Thanks for your concern, though! 
now, why didn't I think of this? lol
I am not short, but a foot pedal on a foot rest would be comfy! If you find one that works welll, I'd love to hear about it! Jill
