It's a bunch of chapters, but there are free tests there

This was used for supplementary material in a class of mine that was a 2-SH course that carried upper-level university credit. This was the supplemental material to the text that was used. HTH!
I've known some old timers did the same

Wanted their reports to be lengthy "so they were getting their money's worth".  Nothing was bilateral, everything was "on the right and on the left".


It was like a car mechanic describing your car "The car is red.  The red car has two doors, one on the left and one on the right, both having reddish hues consistent with the general paint scheme.  The red car with left and right doors has door handles, one on the right and another on the left,  The left and right door handles on the left and right doors, respectively, of this red car seem to be working properly: the one on the right opens smoothly, the one on the left opens smoothly as well on this red car.  This is consistent with normal door handles on this red car."  Good grief!


there are reasons for part timers
I have a medical condition and cannot always do a full two weeks, due to exhaustion and pain from my blood dyscrasia. That is why I am not a full time employee.  I was but had to cut back and when I did MQ canceled my insurance.  I would gladly go back to a hospital and work in-house but the two hospitals out here have outsourced all transcription.  When I did work in-house, I was able to work part time and the hospital offered insurance coverage to part timers.  I only had to pay $70/pay period for insurance.  Im astonished that most trans services will not cover part timers..I cant figure that out.  If the part timer is willing to pay the extra amount, why not?  I also have lost faith in American private insurance, as how can you trust private companies making decisions about whether you can get chemo, MRI's, etc?  Back a few years ago, whatever the doctor said you needed, you got.  Not anymore.  Now American HMOs and insurance companies pay people to check over your medical history and decide whether you can get this or that done.  How can you trust companies when their only concern is profit and making as much for the stockholders as possible.  Give me a universal health plan throughout the country any day.
Part-timers or IC with Spheris?

I wondered if Spheris hires part-timers and how many hours they can work.  Or if anyone works IC for Spheris?  What is the difference between IC and part time?  I would like to work between 20 to 30 hours a week, maybe a few more but couldn't guarantee 40. 


Thanks.


Not at this company. The part timers seem to get the best
and choice of work, the best schedules, and the best of all worlds. Full time are treated like you are the lowest stepping stone in the pond.
You know how use old timers fixate on our bowel function. nt
 
Any "long-timers" with Focus Infomatic?

I am thinking about applying to FI and I was wondering if there is anybody out there who has worked for them at least a little while.  I checked some of the archives about Focus but is there anyone who likes working for them? 


MedQuist pays PTO and offers 401K to part-timers.
You have to work 16 hours a week minimum.


Abacus is not free. It is $20 but worth it. You can download a trial version free which does not h
I have used this for years and have compared to Sylvan, Word, and MP Count, etc. When you have it set to count every character, bold, shift, tab, etc. It is great and always higher than the others. Now if you are wanting gross lines like in Word then no it won't be as high because Word counts blanks lines and Abacus counts a line only if there is a character on it. There is also two places to check for it to count the Headers/Footers. If you have the FREE version then it must be the trial or a very old version so you don't have all the features and functions.
Free? As in, free trial? Otherwise, I don't think you'll find a spellcheck software that's

Check out the free demo of MTStars FlashType. It's free for 7 days.
Then, if you like it, you can purchase it for $59.95.  See link below.

Unless you get a bunch of
very short reports to average it out, it's not worth it.

If speaking to your supervisor doesn't result in her adjusting for those long reports (maybe paying you more?) you should ask to be taken off.

I really feel for you! It's production work and don't understand how they can get away with paying per report, unless there are enough short reports to balance it our for you and sounds like they're not there!
Thanks a bunch!

thanks a bunch!

My bunch
in charge are all in their 20s, not a one of them has been an MT, so they really think that having the initials is absolutely necessary to get more business (which they are going to lose anyway because of pushing files through).
Thanks a BUNCH!
It worked!
thanks a bunch (also x-Q'r)

When did MTs become a bunch

of  paranoid nuts?  Now become someone uses grammar syntax that is a little "out of the norm" we accuse them of being ILPs and try to run them off?


:::FLAME ALERT AHEAD:::


Instead of being paranoid and worrying about how other people spell stuff or don't spell stuff, maybe we could get better at what we do (because the ILPs are not the only ones who turn in crap) and concentrate on that instead of attacking anonymous posters on a message board.


The attitude on this board is so completely disturbing to me it's not even funny.  If someone posts something that others don't like they're pounced like by a pack of rabid wolves.


Flame away.  I have coffee and a session with my elliptical machine in my immediate future.


 


Thanks a bunch! :) NM

I just cannot get over what a bunch of self righteous -
transcriptionists posted on this about having a physical and drug screen.
I like MM, too. I have a bunch of CDs here that I listen to
while I'm working.  I like all types of music.
Wow, what a bunch of losers you 2 are.
You sound real cool, "stick your 1.18 where the sun doesn't shine" and "you go girl". Duh. Get a life. Some people are happy at Medquist, myself included. I have found that the only people that aren't happy there can't type for crap anyway saying they only type 150 lines an hour. That is pretty pathetic. Find a different profession.
Thank you a bunch! Looking to apply
there - are they good?
I think it's all a bunch of bunk....
Think about it..  When you prep for a colonoscopy you drink some kind of liquid that gives you the runs for a day and cleans you out.  They proceed to examine the mucosa of your VERY CLEAN colon with a scope.  I've read that the colon cleanse junk, whatever it may be, is what causes all that nasty crap they show in the pictures.  It's just a bunch of fiber and junk that looks all nasty when it "reappears."  I think our bodies were made to function just fine without colon cleansing, douches, and liver detoxing.  If you eat well, exercise, drinks enough water, and get enough sleep, your body will feel energized and healthy. 
I think it's a bunch of ****. Sorry your in that situation! nm

Don't get your shorts in a bunch -

I'm saying the way things are right now in Iraq and Afghanistan, it would not surprise me that the armed services priorities are to place people there.  This is my opinion.  I also know people that have received a wonderful education in the military and continue to do so. I fully support our troops although they were lured there under "false pretense."  It is this "false pretense" that continues today.  Maybe delusional wasn't the proper word and I apologize.  As far as me being delusional - what is the latest body count? 


thanks a bunch...votefortaylor...nm

there are a bunch of primaries before NOV 06

I just found a bunch

Try putting in Rolland, Diana for the author.  I found many just now after reading your post. 


You can also try Googling for it but I like ABE's prices and have never gotten a bad deal from them.


What a bunch of lowballers
Geez, you'd think MT is a wholesale business now!  I live in a relatively small town too and 12 cents especially for radiology is low as the independent contractor AND YOU'RE DRIVING THERE.  If anything, I would try for .135 cents or go for the 12 for a couple of months.   It's the MTs who low ball and undercut that make it that much more difficult for the rest of us! 
A bunch of us tried this years ago...sm

...by those of us that have been members of the competition's board for years now. It was going to be a big vacation meet up, maybe on someone's ranch or at a spa type of place. Very hard to plan details like that when the group is big, though. I don't think that it ever got off the ground. I didn't pay much attention to the details as I didn't plan on going. It may have been successfully done for other sections of the country like the northwest or some of the central states, etc., but I didn't follow up on that.


Local groups of people meeting up for lunch or dinner can be a fun time, though, if you live close enough. Just spread the word for a meet up in your area and see what kind of replies you get. Might want to start an invite like that on the State boards, though. Good luck to those that attempt a face-to-face! NM


Sorry, but there's absolutely NOTHING that bunch has
disappearing. That's just one of their many lies.
Wow, what got your panties in a bunch!!! nm

hometalkcafe.com might have one. Friendly bunch there.

Thanks a bunch -- you guys are great!
appreciated all the detailed input -- i too was looking at consumer's reports -- all info is helpful. Have a great day!
No, just a bunch of schmoozing for the camera
and him letting her talk about the philanthropic things she's doing in Africa.  Considering how she lives, it's the least she can do, in my opinion.  Don't mean to rain on the parade, just don't have much respect for either one of them.
No, there are a bunch of studies out there indicating that
one drink per day of beer or wine is actually good for you.
Thanks a bunch, e-mail inside.
You are a life saver.  Just click on reply by e-mail and my addy is there.  Again, thanks.
Ha - we're a bunch of nutters . . nm

Sounds great - thanks a bunch! nm
