In Reply to: The OP didn't ask if she should. SM - CMTer
for the AHDI. Ahem. Your grammar and structure are lovely and correct, though. I'm sure you passed the exam with flying colors.
I used to joke that every time I considered the CMT I got pregnant: end of CMT plans. In all seriousness, it's a lot of money to spend. I was chapter president of our local AAMT for a couple of years and I put in a lot of hours setting up stuff for the CMTs to get credits; it's quite frankly what it all revolved around. A lot of those women have spent a PILE of money over the years keeping current with their certification and I admire their tenacity. Not one of them that I know personally, however, has ever benefited monetarily or professionally by their CMT; it is a personal satisfaction only.
Unfortunately, it's not as simple as a forest/trees analogy nor as simple as a having a "grudge" against the AAMT - oh, excuse me, AHDI. There's been a lot of broken promises and dreams over the years and some people have real reason to be bitter about it.
The exam is a good one. I proctored an exam, I've looked at the materials, and I've seen what it takes to maintain. It's good stuff. But unfortunately, in the end, it's only for your own personal satisfaction. Different strokes.

You know, you are the one who is hateful.
on this board anonymously and bash her. Why? If you don't like the company, why not leave it? If Dorothy is that much of a problem, why are you there?
As if you know, hateful hag!

Not hateful, was actually trying to be funny..

Nothing to do with hateful opinions
but more to do with reality. If you run a "well-structured" daycare and you type when the kids are napping or watching movies, there is no way that equals an 8 hr a day full-time job. The majority of us here have been through or are in the process of raising kids. There isn't a kid in this world that doesn't decide at various times they are not going to take a nap, the crying the getting out of bed or up from their mat, etc. don't you have to stop to deal with that? Two hours max is about all you are gonna get out of a daycare nap time setting. So unless you plop them in front of movies for the rest of the day (and they sit there like perfect little angles, which will never happen given the attention span of children) how do you pull off working what you make to sound like a full time job? None one is being hateful it is just real hard to pull the wool over the eyes of people in your same profession.
Frankly, this all sounds hateful. sm
Saying you hate coddling minorities, etc., is pretty scary. What's wrong with a play that includes the full religious and cultural beliefs of the season rather than just yours?
And yes, you could probably tell there weren't any blacks in the audience, but you couldn't tell if there were any Jews.
There's a lot of hate here and a lot of xenophobia. Frankly, the attitudes don't sound much like Jesus at all.
Hateful notes from supervisors
Some of these supervisors and MTSOs must be the most unhappy people in the world and must hate themselves. No way a normal person could send out horrible hateful notes to their staff. Wish they would get some professional help, just for their own sake.
You don't think calling someone a liar is hateful? lol
nm
i can use my real name to tell you that you are a hateful person MT2...so THERE!
mean people suck
they are jealous and hateful of anyone, family or friends who are successful.
They think they don't have to work too hard or follow the rules of society. Sometimes they embellish the truth or tell lies of ommission to have people feel sorry for them. There are lots of signs relative to how other people think that this person is way off base. Sometimes all they do is want to sleep. Other times they are on the phone for hours at a time. Something is off.
It doesn't sound HATEFUL to me, this person is just saying that suddenly
those who celebrate Christmas are forced to conform for a few minority religions? That's not right. A friend of mine who is Jewish regularly has her children out of school during Hannukah and the school doesn't penalize her children for it. As far as Christmas plays are concerned, I don't think it's right to force children to be in a play that consists of a bunch of different beliefs if they are not of that particular belief system. If that is how it is going to be, then they need to completely do away with Christmas/Holiday plays altogether. There are many holiday songs out there that don't recognize ANY religion at all. If religion is the issue, than children can easily sing Santa Clause is coming to town or, Jingle Bells, etc. without offending since those songs lean more toward the commercial aspect of the holiday season. And then, those who want to participate in separate PRIVATE plays can do so. There are options that can be chosen without hurting anyone's feelings about their religious beliefs.
You sure sound like an "angry, hateful, bitter old bigot" in posts above!!
Typical hateful liberal. Taking pleasure in someone else's misfortune.
You're a real piece of work.
advertising on your car
I did surveys, took too long and never really made much money. What i want to do is find someone to advertise on my car. They wrap it with a plastic advertisement and you get paid monthly for driving around town. Does anyone have info for this? I googled it and was only able to find european companies that do it.
advertising
Hi,
I agree that most will be word of mouth, but i did make up flyers with price, turnaround time, etc and walked into and sent many offices my flyer along with a business card. If an office was advertising for a medical secretary, I would fax my flyer because more than likely, they would need a Transcriptionist or have the secretary do it. I now work for four docs all of whom were referred by my very first client.
Good luck to you!

Advertising
I had my own business for 7 years, worst mistake I ever made was selling it. Anyway, flyers go in the trash, best way I found was to go and visit each office, speak with office manager if you can and leave a business card with your rates, turn around time, delivery, pickup etc....Then make a followup phone call a week or two later, and continue with 6 to 12 month followup. Once you get an account and they are happy, before long word of mouth will get you more work than you can handle. Good luck.
That is why they always are advertising nm

Into advertising now too?
I didn't know that. I will have to look into that some more and see what they are doing with that.
use their own advertising
This is great of proof of why American MTs are better and the physicians need us. You can tell them, or you can show them. If this major national can't even have correct copy on their advertising....
Quess web design doesn't go through QA.
Patti - Are you the one advertising for an IC and YOU
Big no-no. If you're specifying hours and rates, honey, you're an employer!!! PAY UP ON THE EMPLOYER ISSUES!!
Look, when you start advertising your own BOS, the
Administrators DO know about the AAMT and when they start with their advertisement of GLOBAL-wide acceptance, style guide, certification, education, etc., you'll be hard pressed to get business.
I'm just trying to give you a few ideas of what you're REALLY up against. THE industry standard. THE industry leader. THE recognized well-established with money to boot association who already has the global market.
You may find a few rogue MTs and small-time clinics here and there for your project.
Wasn't trying to come off as advertising
Hello guys, I'm sorry for the multiple posts today. I wasn't trying to come off as trying to advertise, especially since I'm not making any kind of money at all, just trying to be helpful. I didn't mean to come across as self-promoting or anything.
unfortunately not false advertising.
It says UP TO $60K. When I worked FT, I made that much. Ahhh, those were the days!
There are still plenty of companies willing to pay for advertising
on the TV and radio. Besides, I'd never pay for radio or TV. That's just silly.
Cleveland Clinic was advertising for MTs for their Fla
the Ohio (main) clinic was at one time being transcribed by "that" other company but don't know if they do it any more.
I'm with you - a face transplant is very interesting!
Look up their clinic in Florida (extension) and see if they are still hiring. Let us know. :))
He wasn't advertising here--it was MT Jobs.

They keep advertising. Bad place to work
As if being Indian-based bad enough. No Thanks!!!
Advertising policy of MTStars...
Many of you haven't noticed Advertising policy of MTStars lately.
http://www.mtstars.com/advertising.htm
No more sponsorships from MTSOs etc. The truth is being spoken on these boards and it always hurts. You can't remain sober if betrayed by some company or individual. You would have been speaking the same way if you were in their shoes.
I love MTStars for being unbiased (what people say nastiness). It's not like MTChat or MTDaily etc., where the posts are deleted and board owners are instructed to keep their & posters mouths shut for annual sponsorship of $500 by MTSOs.
It's the advertising policy of MTStars..

They are still advertising the jobs on their website and in the newspaper
Quite a waste of money if they're downsizing. Oh, and did I mention - they just opened up a new clinic, which increased the work load by about one-third, and now they are building a second hospital?
Nope. Not downsizing.
I remember when they first started advertising sanitary napkins
That was many years ago and I was quite young and incredibly embarrassed. Somehow, I think things were better when we all had a lot more modesty.
Probably my imagination.
the history? nothing.. he is just advertising an Indian MT company and board

Could this be termed false advertising. Seems like a lot more people on the other board are saying
the same thing about MQ. If she is so religious as you claim why would she steer people to a company to have them not be able to pay their bills. Seems a bit odd to me.
Only by the mounds of junk mail every day...cc apps, advertising circulars, etc. nm

I just saw another MT site advertising a service that offshores that boasts the company as
transcription companies in the US! Of course, it doesn't surprise this long time MT considering the owner of the site highly promotes offshore transcription. I am disgusted and have canceled their newsletter.

I just started using "mydocsonline" - no extra fees unlike the one advertising above this - sm
Simple to use to, I only have 2 users so $99 for a year which is half the cost of most of the others, and HIPAA compliant, etc. Not sure how cost effective if you have a lot of doctors though, but I like the fact they give you so much space a month, you can save/delete whatever you want to do, no extra charges/mb or kb--metroscript is 14.95 a month (or more) and .34/megabyte of each upload, I would have ended up paying about $120 a month, forget that! I tried the free trial of mydocsonline and it works well for me.
This happened to me once. I had bought a Lanier transcribe unit from someone advertising over on SM
MT Daily. I sent her a money order for $500. She sent me one email after she received the money order saying she had sent the Lanier and of course I never received it and she didn't answer my emails for a week. Then she finally emailed again saying she had asked her daughter to send, but she hadn't and that she was going to ship the next day. Still I didn't receive it. At that point, she stopped answering my emails and eventually blocked me from being able to send me emails. I had her mailing address and phone number. Of course, she screened her calls and never answered the phone.
One thing people should know about MT's, we do our homework. I immediately researched what my legal options were and here is what I did:
1. I contacted the adminstrator of the website on which the original classified add appeared. They attempted to contact her to no avail.
2. I contacted the police departments in both her city and mine and filed a fraud report.
3. I then contacted the Attorney General's off in both her state and mine and immediately filed a report with each office. I was told that the claim would be investigated, but more than likely nothing would not come of one complaint, BUT if they received more than one complaint regarding fraudulent practices by the same business or individual, then they could file charges.
In the end, she made the mistake of forwarding one of those chain emails to everyone in her address book and mistakenly sent it to me. So, I had the email addresses of her business associates, co-workers, employers, friends, family. I promptly sent an email to everyone of them telling them exactly what she did to me and that they should be very careful in dealing with her.
I got several angry emails for people asking me not to include them in my email war. I apologized to those people and took them of the mailing list. However, three of the email contacts emailed me back and said they had bought stuff from her and never received the equipment. And finally, I received a very angry email from the perpetrator's other daughter. Apparently, her mother was freaked out about the fact that I had reported her to the police and the attorney general's office and I also let her know that I had made three other contacts ready to file with the attorney general's office which would probably get my case more notice. The daughter Western Unioned me my money within 24 hours.
Casey, I say break out the big guns and start shooting. That's what I did and it worked for me. You probably have the person's mailing address, so you know where he/she lives or at least what city and state he/she lives in. I wonder if we dealt with the same person? Is this person from Texas?
ALSO IF THEY WERE GOING TO QUIT SE, THEY WOULD QUIT ADVERTISING TO HIRE SE
And I have seen a new ad in the magazine Advance that has a sign on bonus for SE's, maybe just better pay, let's think positive!!
That is a good offer. Pay is not that good at UIMC. Good luck! nm

No work, low work, 45% cut in pay, still advertising for more help.
Transcend needs to really look at its reorganization. What idiot is going to work for 4.5 to 5.5 cpl on a platform that breaks down daily, is full of flaws, line counts don't work. And since all accounts are going to go to this wonderful new experience of being strictly an Editor on this patchwork program that has never been designed for an MLS in mind, it is time to get out of a leaking boat in the middle of a storm.

Agree with other poster.. good price..good service
I definitely think they are one of the best out there. We also have been talked through issues over the phone and also had a warranty in which they came out and fixed it right at our home. My only complaint..and I am sorry for saying this.. but... when you call their customer service 9 out of 10 times...you get someone who barely speaks English and I just hate that. I think that is true of a lot of customer support centers these days, ironically they are rarely American anymore. I am not prejudice at all. I just find it frustrating to call in for help and the help you get barely understands you and you do not understand them, thus making the experience very frustrating..
Expensive is right -- around $300 per credit hour! But they do have a good rep. Good luck! nm

Good for you. Sounds very interesting and a good chance of pace - sm
but I live in the northeast and not much need for that where I live. I also live in a small town so that limits my options. I have spent the last couple of years as a substitute teacher to supplement my MT job and just completed 4-1/2 months as a long term sub which I enjoyed and was a change of pace from MT. The only problem is as a sub or ed tech you only get paid during the school year so I would have to keep my MT job for summers and school vacations. With the way things are going in the MT world I hate to rely solely on that. I don't want to find myself without any job whatsoever.
Thanks for all the responses.
8 is NOT good if never going any higher - good to get the rust out in the short term though

Is the dictation quality good, are the dictators good, are you
a newbie and you still have to look up lots of words .... The very first day I typed, with absolutely no education way back when, when you didn't have to have a degree/certificate or previous experience, I typed 665 lines. This was without an expander and I was not a fast typist. I can do 1000 lines in about 4 hours now on average.
