I wouldnt let it get me down. I dont feel like you should go back to school. It takes time to do the more difficult doctors. Unless you did not go to school and do good. Only you know how well you learned and whether or not you feel comfortable with doing transcription.
I think this lady was aggravated and took it out on you. Dont give up.
Keep your chin up. This is a tough field.

I work on Escription platform and the adapter didnt work for me. I tried it on my laptop though
and the foot pedal would just not play correctly with the adapter. I think others have tried it and done it but it just didnt work for me.
That didnt work out right! Sorry.. NM

wonder why my email didnt work??
That makes me wonder, I have been getting emails lately, it should be working.
didnt work so owed no money
it is bigger equipment and expensive. AND they never worked so I did not owe them any money. Some were so "anxious" to work that I spent a small fortune sending it overnight so they could "get started" because they really needed to work. I want to believe in the best of people, but it is getting harder and harder.
I didnt ask for ANYTHING. Merry Christmas and watch your back when u work for a national.
thats MY point.
I would not do anymore work...
until they pay you what they owe you. Just tell them that. A legit company does not string people along when it comes to paychecks. I wouldn't go for the holding back of a paycheck either, to tell the truth, esp since this isn't your main source of income.
I would not work for them anymore...sm
And would turn them in to the Better Business Bureau.
They sure did - I don't work at home anymore! (sm)
My two Siberians thought it was a wonderful game to make me get up every two minutes to let them in or out of the house or make me guess what they wanted this time. I'd be in the doggy cupboard trying to find a treat they'd accept! If the weather was good I would finally think to put them outside AND put the baby gate in front of the back door so they couldn't scratch on the door to come in. For some reason when I do this, they also do not howl to come in. Might work for you, who knows. Anyway, I drive 8 miles to an office to get away from the spoiled fuzz children now.
Not anymore unfortunately! They want cheaper labor to work harder!
I made more per line my first 2 weeks interning than now with a lot more bills and expenses.
Sounds like where I work. Everyone morning I wake up to not enough work. I'm quitting
This has been going on for a few months so I don't know if they have overhired or just sent a lot of it to India. I just know I can't sit here everything day waiting until "volumes build up." I'm looking elsewhere.
ABC told Star not to come to work anymore because of her stunt yesterday. Burn bridges, burn! nm

Sounds like you work for
as this is what they do.
Sounds like you may work for
This is the kind of "stuff" they pull.
sounds like where I work
and that all sounds great except that I'm only QA'd on 4 reports A MONTH that are sent to QA for feedback anyway and I have been double dingled (same error in 2 different categories) to teach me that QA is getting too many reports and needs everyone to send less to them.
How can you make 98+% that way? In 10 plus years I have never had a failing QA score. Heck, until the last 2 months, I never had a failing score without having changed jobs! When I go to other MT companies and apply, I get scores averaging above 98%, even was asked to consider the QA manager position when I applied as an MT for one job as I had their highest score on their test.
Whatareyagonnadoaboutit? Eh?
Sounds like where I work (sm)
Except I wasn't the one asking for a raise, someone else did, but upper management felt the need to share it with me for some reason.?
Sorry to hear they let you down. Have you tried searching elsewhere or getting your own clients?
Sounds like it should work. Try it and see.

sounds like someone i used to work with sm
she was so upset because the dictating doctor's tone sounded to her like he didn't care about the person he was dictating about. I just looked at her like she was a loon.
Sounds like you work for
the same people I work for that I just gave notice, too. He made me feel like crap one too many times, and I finally started looking for another job. Once I found one that had higher pay, more flexibiity, and direct deposit, I turned in my notice. He acted like it was a federal crime and turned it into something personal when it was just a business decision on my part to work in a situation better suited for me. He, of course, doesn't realize the time and sleep I have sacrificed for his work and doesn't appreciate it at all. MTSOs needs to remember that we are people, too. God bless!
sounds like you work for MDI-MD
MDI-MD pays well, 9-11 cpl. Also, Webmedx, TransTech, and First Choice Medical all have better line rates than the average national. Some of those are employee positions and some are not.
Sounds great but there is no work!
Well, I tried posting but it disappeared. Will just say I show up to work but there isn't any (have several accounts). So the bonus which is what I consider my "sick leave" - is not attainable. So much for working for MQ. And now I hear of more accounts they are losing. But they never tell the MTs. 
Sounds like where I used to work year ago! - sm
My mom and I worked together at a research and analytical lab/supply co. We had to arrive at 7:45 (regular hours were 8-5 with an hour for lunch) and my mom had to "clock" in everybody to check that they came in on time and submit it weekly to the boss/owner. You had to give blood to get OT and you had to do above and beyond your job about 200%. The company "rules" were pretty stupid the things we were not allowed to do. If you got a personal call (and I do agree work is not the place for personal calls but emergencies do happen) it was "logged in" and you had to sign a slip saying you received a personal call, its nature, if it was an emergency, etc. As for raises, rarely, once every 4-5 years if you were lucky. If you asked for one he would tell you to go find another job, a real sweethart. Morale sucked there to say the least. I wore so many "hats" it wasn't funny. I made peanuts too in comparison to all that was expected of me. After I quit (left to get married and move to another state) my replacement was hired at twice my salary (she was about twice my age too but she was the boss's right arm's wife) and did about a 10% of my job (nice for her). My mom stuck it out for about 5 more months before she quit. The boss was just a plain jerk and took it personal that I quit (I'd been there PT and FT for 13 years) and also threatened a law suit when I moved and got a job with a "competitor" (a much smaller lab/supplies company). The law suit fell through of course after he saw the confidentially agreement I signed which made no mention of working for competitors.....he quickly revised that of course screwing future employees...we are not talking about a multimillion dollar company (not even a million a year). So as much as the above is a joke, there are bosses/companies out there like that.....
It sounds like your work really intensely, and so do I. sm
At least every hour, take 10 mins out, go outside, just breath the air. Stay out there for 10 mins, the go back a make a great lph rate for another hours. It works for me. I absolutely cannot work 2 hours without a small break. There is no point to it.
Sounds like the hospital I work for
I would think you applied there. Anyway, we get paid by production in-house at 9 cpl. Only time hourly pays is when we take time-off, equipment malfunction and of course meetings. The only thing I don't like is that the hourly people (coders, clerks) dont' understand that and want to visit and get offended when we tell the we have to work.
That sounds so great- where I work
the chairs are unbelievable- they are horrible. They will special order a better chair for you if you need it but it takes like 3 months, and it is always the same kind of chair from the same place and if it doesn't work for you, oh well. The seat pan doesn't adjust, and it needs to. They pay 1200 bucks for these chairs, when they could get a dozen better ones for the same price.
Wouldn't you think a hospital of all places would understand the importance of ergonomics for their employees?? :rolleyes
Interestingly the conference rooms have wonderful chairs and I usually snag one at night and just put it back when I leave.
sounds like we work for the same place...sm
I have been with the same company for about 5 years now. What I do is take the first letter of each word for a phrase and make an expander. Ex: The patient was admitted to the hospital, I make the Expander with tpwatth. I have found this the easiest on the platform I use as I was not sure if anything like InstantText or others would work. You don't have to assign the expander to a specific dictator so this helps with the "generic phrases". For medications that are capitalized, I also make an expansion. Ex: Tylenol is expansion tylenol. Also have them for drugs that are the same prescription all the time, aspirin 81 mg daily is a81, aspirin 325 mg daily is a325, aspirin 81 mg p.o. daily is a81p. I even made it for when it is capitalized in a list, Aspirin 81 mg daily is aa81. Every little thing helps. I do have expansions for doctors that say the same thing over and over, I just make sure I proofread very carefully. Try to use abbreviations you can remember. I even have them for b.i.d., etc.
That sounds like a company I used to work for....
that paid monthly and it was NEVER on time. Checks bounced, 1099's late, and excuses after excuses. I even had to threaten a lawsuit to get paid my final check! I would certainly not quit your other company before you have some time under your belt with the new company to see how things are going to be.
He sounds like a piece of work - sm
I'd tell the wife, sure go ahead find someone else who will put up with all this garbage. I would give them a new updated fee schedule, effective immediately, up your page rate, a flat fee per page, none of this half/third stuff, and start charging for your time for the loading and converting of files. If it takes an hour, charge $20. That is something his people there should be doing, not you. As for the corrections, again his people should be doing that, not you. As you said, everyone makes mistakes. Regarding the doctors names, keep a notebook or something with the correct spellings that you can refer to. I use a small address/phone book and put them in under A, B, C, etc. So when my doctors say referring doc, I just whip open my book and saves me a lot of time from looking it up on the internet. If I cannot find a doctor name/address I simply let the office know that they have to fill that in since I could not find it. ---But this guy sounds like a real skinflint, so I would up the rates as above, if they don't like it then I guess they can just go and find out the hard way that they had quite a deal with you.
Sounds like my work life...
I hear you loud and clear! This sounds just like my job too, so I know how frustrated and unappreciated you feel. Hugs to you my friend! 
Sounds like the company I work for.
Not only do they have various account specs but I get samples but NOT the dictators! What good does that do me?
I agree -- go for it. After all, 9 cpl is not all that great for IC work, and it sounds like you nm

Thank you, sounds like you work for good people....
I think no matter where you go it has its little ups and downs. Have a good day and thank you for responding.
Sounds like the company I work for. That is why morale is
xx
Sounds like an account I work on locally
can ya try to focus on ONE thing. I know I would NEVER go to this doctor. He's not sure if he did a colonoscopy or an endoscopy??? Scary.
Sounds like where I used to work- PHNS- 5% of our total MONTHLY - sm
work was our limit to QA. You'd get your butt chewed off if you went over that....and this was 80% hard ESL too. Totally unrealistic. They did not penalize you though, but that was a while ago too, now, who knows, wouldn't put it past them.
It's your work flow that's such a drag, not you or your software. Wow! Sounds like an

Thanks! It sounds like an air card can also work between desktop and laptop
Thanks so much for all this info...It sounds like you can get air cards that plug into USB ports that you can interchange between your desktop computer and your laptop for on-the-go or if there were a power outage. Am pretty low tech but seriously considering this. A lot would depend on the dependability of the signal from my home. If it were steady, I would consider cutting (ha ha) the cable internet which is 48$ plus taxes and just have the broadband (60$ ?) which I could use with my desktop computer or take with me using a laptop and also could use with a laptop in case of power outage. hmmmmmm
Sounds like a good place, where you work! BTW: the other 2 posts are not mine
Somebody is cloning my username now and posting. Guess on a board like this anyone can troll. So, I guess I will change my username again, so as not to be taken the wrong way. Wow, people really have a lot of time on their hands!
Sounds like just where you work. Most places don't check so tightly on the lines produced AND you

No, she didnt but so what if she did?
She was self supporting. She didnt take anything from anyone or go on the system.
i didnt see that.
what was the report?
How do you know that she didnt get ....
the newest edition out used??? I agree with it being worthless after a while but you can get used books that are the newest editions.
She didnt say they
were paying production. Probably an hourly rate position. Wipe off the drool. they ain't no fool.
Didnt Seem Rude
You didnt seem rude to me at all. You adressed exactly what I was looking to get more info about. Should I even invest in the training, and if so what was the best way to go? Was MT even something I should get into? Sounds like more bang than I want to get tied up in so I appreciate your reply! Thanks!!
DH now knows reality of my job, didnt at first.

Why didnt your ancestors stay?
Why didnt your ancestors stay wherever they came from? What a horrible statement. We are all descendant from another country, unless we are American Indian. I know two doctors who live here and do help in their home countries. One from South Africa, the other from Mexico. One goes back each year to hold clinics where they operate on children.
Nixon didnt declare war
Lyndon Johnson stepped up the fighting in Vietnam, we were there back in the 1960's. Pressure was put on Nixon from the courageous and so right protestors to end our participation in a wrong war a war we were in because we didnt want the South Vietnamese to become communist, which happened anyway. The protests at Kent State were peaceful except some students started throwing rocks at inexperienced guardsmen. The guardsmen were called before the protest to keep calm on campus, which is something that should never be done and was never done before. You do not turn military against student protestors. You do not use military to guard Americans, that is what police are for. Only during Martial Law can you have military take over American streets. We have a right to protest. When the students saw the guardsmen, some threw rocks. The guardsmen then shot their guns. Trust me, this is how it went. It is burned into my psyche.
Thank you. I didnt know if there were a lot of parts to assemble.
:
Didn't have to do much of that (didnt really mind that
part of the job, though). Just didn't like working 11-7, hated the fact that with being responsible for so many patients, I felt like I wasn't giving any of them very good care.
Vets were I worked didnt want to pay for MT. Had
