    what is that suppose to mean sm
    about disabled people did not need to belong to AAMT? I hope that statement is why she is no longer there. I don't know what she had in mind as a "disability" and it does not matter, but there are foks with chronic illnesses who are "disabled" but can still work shorter hours etc. Good thing she is no longer with AAMT. What an idiot.
    Maybe I'm not suppose to ask this, but....

    Would anyone be willing to give me the ballpark range for what contractors charge their clients in Florida.....like 13-15 cpl.  Also anyone from California with the same information?


    I am just starting out and I don't want to low-ball anyone!  Thanks!


    and through all this where is AAMT who is suppose....sm
    to be helping us... why their just making sure we have to buy their book ... what a crockapalosa!!
    Oy. And I suppose it's verbatim.
    So then you have to ask if you are supposed to leave the stoopid stuff in or take it out??


    I suppose ignoring
    such comments would be the best approach, but it gets extremely annoying to see these. And, sometimes people aren't aware of their own bad habits and brining it to their attention could help.

    Sometimes not.
    I suppose theoretically it's possible

    If you're really fast and can average 300 lph or more and are making at least 10 cpl.


    I hate to see them mislead people like that though.  It takes a long time to build up that kind of speed.  There are people on this board who say they can do it, though.


    I just keep Norton I suppose and never checked into anything else.

    Cannot believe that show is on A&E. Supposedly he is suppose to

    Does anyone suppose that with all the advances in technology that
    there might be some more companies willing to take those MT's who only have satellite in the future?  There are so few now.  Really limits a person's options.  Wadyathink? MTSO's - any response??
    Misread the question I suppose. Sorry! Don't have a cow. nm

    OOPS! This was suppose to answer
    /
    was it suppose to come with a headset, how do you work without it.
    nm
    I mean, was it suppose to have a display? if so, then return it
    nm
    I suppose all the work that is outsourced
    Makes no sense.  What do they expect for 7-10 cpl?
    Yeah, and I suppose I probably offended
    some newbies, too. I didn't mean to. I know what I was thinking in my head but I didn't communicate that in my message post.
    And I suppose we shouldn't call murders such, huh? Or ...
    sex offenders pedophiles...or adulterers cheaters...OH MY! We might be UGLY when we do it!

    Go on now, and crawl back into your little fantasy world of how nice everyone should be. LOL GEeeeezzzzz.
    By today's appallingly lax MT standards, I suppose a few -
    :D MT as a profession is turning into such a JOKE, isn't it?
    I suppose given a choice I'll take DRUNK!

    I suppose a good object lesson

    would have been, just once, to type exactly what he said, down to every repetition.  Wouldn't if feel good do do that just one time?  I mean, it would be 'verbatim.'


    Often I will go ahead and type both versions when someone keeps mis-speaking:  'The patient was brought to the ER by his friend, his girlfriend, his fiance.    He had onset of pain on Tuesday, or maybe Wednesday, Tuesday night or Wednesday morning....'  Hard to tell with some of these dictators what they are trying to change/add/subtract. 


    So far there have been no QA repercussions over this.


    PLEASE! Let's suppose a supervisor works an 8 hour day on and off. At home.
    What does this supervisor do? So I have a supervisor now see. Every now and again I will get an e-mail that tells me account is behind or caught up. Not on a daily basis and sometimes not even on a weekly basis. Now besides looking into the computer to see account is behind or up to date, what does this supervisor do in the course of an on and off 8 hour day?

    I am assuming this "supervisor" is not doing QA or anything, just supervising an account. So any questions regarding QA are sent off to QA personnel. So what questions can a supervisor have that would tie up their day? EIGHT HOURS of a working day doing what?
    last post suppose to be ad, not as directed. Word expander was on.
    Sorry.
    On this new MQ rewards plan what exactly is it offering statutory employees and I suppose that that

    is going to be the end of our quarterly bonus. My concern still is if there is no work how do you get any incentive if they lower the base rate. Sounds like employees will have a larger window to get their work done which means we all will be scrambling around for work at all hours.


    And I suppose you're perfect in everything you do? No one was making light of the woman's sit

    XP is probably pretty cheap now. Microsoft suppose to be coming out with new OS at end of year.
    :+
    So you get a flash drive with voice files on it you are suppose to transcribe?

    I'm trying to understand.  Do you save the transcribed reports on the same jump drive?  If that is the protocol, then wouldn't the MT before you typed any reports, then wouldn't they be saved to the flash drive?


    If so, then you could open up the flash drive and if there are any Word files or text files, you open those up and see what they are.  If they are transcribed reports, write the patient's name down and don't transcribe those notes.


    Whatever the case may be, I would absolutely tell the office manager or whoever you are meeting with that you will type everything on the flash drive and that you expect to be paid for everything you type.  You gave them freebies the last time and you're in this business to make money.


    What does it hurt you if this is
    on the word board? Nobody is forcing you to read the post, and especially to reply. If you can't be nice, butt out!!! What a rip!!!
    I would be hurt too (sm)
    But I would not let them know it. When FD rolls around would not do anything for your DH and I would 'play-down' the birthdays of the older children when they come around... Sounds like this might not be the first time and time they tasted their own medicine... don't hold onto the hurt or anger - let it go for your sake and you don't need to be mean - but at 18 and 21 they are old enough to take responsibility for their behavior!!
    I don't think it would hurt
    The same thing happened to a friend of mine who questioned the company after failing her test.  There was a glitch in the computer, and she got hired!
    Can't hurt to ask.
    When I first started hospital stuff I did H&P and DS and then added in the OP notes and then every other type of note under the sun.
    I got spanked when I was a kid and it never hurt me.
    Then when I had children (they're grown now0, they got spanked, too, and it never hurt them. It usually was a last straw, but sometimes it was necessary, and they are none the worse for it, either. However, each of us is entitled to our own opinion and entitled to raise our children the way we see fit as long as we raise them in a loving home.
    My neck does hurt too...but...
    my wrists usually get super sore when I STOP typing, I guess from not using them so much. If I take a weekend off, I am in severe pain with them, usually the brace works or taking ibuprofen, but now the brace doesn't fit. Thanks for your help!! I have actually thought about trying acupuncture, someone I know did that and they don't have any back pain at all after some sessions, supposed to be covered by my insurance too. Thanks again for your help!
    I have the Panasonic behind the ear one, but they hurt.
    Waaaaa. I'm looking in to those big ones like we used to use in the 70's with our stereo systems. Does anyone use them?
    Whatever. Nothing to hurt and I'm not ashamed.
     
    But it doesn't hurt to try!!!

    It certainly can't hurt anything to call, but...
    He may think swallowing water caused it, but I bet he was yelling and having fun and got hoarse. If he's not sick by the time you're reading this, he's just fine.
    Try a new keyboard -it can't hurt sm
    Sounds like common sense but it was something I had not thought of before. I have been using the Dell standard keyboard since I got my new PC 2 years ago-have always used whatever keyboard that came with my new PCs. My hands were starting to hurt so I tried a Kinesis-didn't work. Too long of a learning curve for me. That's on the back burner for when I have more time. So I bought a Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 on sale at Walmart for 20 bucks last week and my production has gone up 20% just in that little time. It seems the keys are lighter and I don't have to push as hard on them.
    It couldn't hurt
    I get paid by the page. I actually can make more money per hour doing tapes than I can as an MT, it's just unreliable. I've gone almost a month without tapes a few times.
    I would think some do, wouldn't hurt to
    send them out to them too.
    DEA prays to hurt
    "I'm going to start doing my part from my side of the country. I pray everybody else will do theirs!"

    What kind of Prayer is this where you want to hurt others? Who do you pray to? Satan? You seem to have plenty of unproductive time at hand. No or little MT work? Then why do you not sleep during the day and work overnight to stop outsourcing, as Laurie says? That would be a more productive way to contributing to achieving your objective of curtailing outsourcing. Not to forget, cut your demand for line rate too as the dollar is weakening in the international market, which is contributing to increase in the cost of living.
    OUCH! Bet that hurt!!

    What side do you hurt on with appendicitis?

    I don't think it would hurt to post a resume - hey,
    you never know. If you're not happy where you are, keep your options open and post the resume!
    So what's it hurt to sign it just in case?
    nm
    call and ask for a label. What would it hurt?
    If they say they do not do that, send it cheap. If they do, it only cost you the dime for the call.

    When I left KS a few months back, they did not mention it but when I asked, they sent Fed Ex to pick it up.

    When I left DR to go back to KS, DR made me pay for it but at least I asked.

    Would not hurt to try
    Oh, owie! That hurt. You cut me to the core with that one.
    NOT!!!!  I don't care what you use as a resource, but I've been assigned the most difficult accounts at my job with 100% on QA scores.  Why is that?  Hmm, because I don't leave blanks when I can't find a term in a book.  Instead, I find it on the Internet.  I've been praised for that ability, too.
    Nope, you saw right and I saw previews where they get hurt a lot.

    You've really hurt my feelings - NOT

    Transcribing for 20, only at home 1.5, but now I hurt. sm

    I just started with pain in my left little finger. I do my CTS exercises, finger stretches and now I wear a left hand splint to bed. It helps a lot as I have a tendency to curl my left hand up under my neck when I'm sleeping.


    I wear Smart Gloves when I type and they really help a lot. I misplaced them for about a month when we changed rooms around and that's when the finger started to hurt. It's better now and not really painful, just annoying and it's only the one finger.


    I guess I can't be too bad off for an oldMT.


     


    Their ignorance doesn't hurt me

    as much as the ignorance of people who should know better - like our "supervisors" etc.  The only answer to nurses or anybody else who thinks like them is to give them a test tape and let them "have at it".  That's usually a good eye opener, or mind opener.


     


    Couldn't hurt to ask for a new pair
    Couldn't hurt to ask right?  That's my motto.   Another motto of mine:  Tis better to run over a pair of $14.97 headsets than a R100.00 pair... JMTOU (just made that one up).  LOL
    Careful, you will hurt your shoulder.
