Freaks?
By calling people PETA freaks, it shows how intolerant you are. To each their own but there certainly is documentation of animal abuse and cruelty in this country. Maybe you are the pot calling the kettle black, by calling PETA freaks, maybe you are the freak, eh?
Freaks and Geeks
I also miss:
1. Seinfeld.
2. Wonder Years.
3. MTV before it was taken over by aliens from Uranus and turned into entertainment for the mentally retarded.

I am almost ashamed to same I am from the same state as these freaks...
They absolutely sicken me. They are a radical CHURCH group believe it or not that protest funerals all over the U.S. on the basis that for one they love the publicity..and their "grounds" for protesting funerals is that the people who are dead are dead because it's God's punishment to the world for society's and the military's acceptance of gays. That's it. I mean come on...I don't care what your position is on gays, I cannot fathom the idea that they feel it's ok to stand outside the funeral of a soldier killed in Iraq or now these poor innocent children....to hold up disgusting hate signs with such things as "911 is God's gift to gays"..and they truly believe these people deserve to die because of this. It's total INSANITY to say the least. They are absolutely disgusting.
Your spin on this is really sickening to me. You are one of those "blame" freaks.
Something tragic happens, and instead of grieving or any other rational response, you freak about who to blame, and laying the blame on the absolutely 100% BLAMELESS people- the parents! They should have FORESEEN THIS TRAGEDY? Oh my gosh. Perhaps the mother shouldn't have been SO STUPID AS TO GET PREGNANT? Sheesh, she had one child already, right? They surely could have planned better. The police are in the "blame game" - its their JOB. If they don't think the babysitters were "negligent", then neither should we. Shame on you for somehow twisting a so sad story into a -- train wreck of psychotic behavior - YOUR'S.
Not all QA people are power-trip freaks (sm)
I work in QA and would probably welcome an email from an MT who said they really tried but that there were numerous blanks in a report they just sent to me. I frequently did exchange emails with helpful hints and tips to the MTs until we were given a quota to reach, then I had to cut down on the "extra" feedback and just send the basics. I hated it because I like the personal touch with feedback.
Some QA staff do end up with their job as a power trip; I was just never that way. I remember what it was like waiting on feedback and cringeing at some of the remarks I would see. I vowed not to do that to fellow co-workers.
Foot pedal control/knee control? (sm)
My sewing machine has a knee control built into the side of the cabinet and I find this very comfortable. I would like to somehow do the same with foot pedal I use for transcription. Can figure out how to mount it, but having trouble adjusting it so the 3 pedals are not an issue. ANyone done this or have any input?
Foot pedal control/knee control
Though I have not had experience with this type of modification, I have repaired numerous footpedals and have some information that may be helpful. Generally, the footpedal is comprised of the primary circuit board, the wiring to the computer, and the three switches for play, rewind, and fast forward. These switches are easily removed from the pedal with a screwdriver. With basic soldering, you can lengthen the wiring to each switch, or even replace them with different switches you can get at a local electronics store. With a little bit of creative engineering, you could mount some knee -controllable switches that could control the footpedal.
I don't know about demand sm
I think is far more important to be good at whatever it is you do and enjoy it. The cream always rises to the top.
HBO on Demand works for me....
Sex and the City, Six Feet Under, Sopranos episodes over and over and over....I never get sick of them!
DEMAND FOR FAIR PAY
I think we all need to stage a walk out! It adds insult to injury to know these companies will still charge the same amount to these hospitals and they will pocket the money, while we see a decrease! RISE UP EVERYONE!
you go ahead and demand that $75K
That will leave your position open for another person who doesn't think they are the MT queen. That "level of expertise" has been achieved by many hard-working individuals. They are out there with excellent skills and might be happy to take your place. Then you can spend your time pursuing something that will make you happy and allow you to feel fulfilled. I feel sorry for you that you are so bitter about your choice of employment. You still do not need to go out insulting other people and calling someone stupid. You do owe her an apology.
and you can bet 99% of these guys are married, fat, bald freaks hiding from their wives
while pretending to be rich, attractive, and SINGLE
MT is just like any other business, - supply and demand -
if India is doing it at 8 cpl do you really think America is going to hold at 16? Yes, eight years ago, 16 cpl was not unheard of. Today, many MTSO's do not dare even raise rates. We have not raised rates for 3 years and don't intend to. Which means MT's don't get raises either. But you either deal with it or you get out and get into another field. "if wishes were horses, even poor men could ride"
Not necessarily. Supply & demand...
If prices are stable, quality will begin to count again. It's simply a cost vs benefit analysis. Just like some US MTs stink on the quality scale, I hear some Indian MTs are quite good. When the cost is stable enough that docs can't "settle" for poor quality (which many of them really don't care - it's just another requirement they must fulfill), then they'll look for quality again. Those of them who are quality MTs, will be able to compete, and with the increased competition based primarily on quality, the substandard MTs will go away, both Indian and US, but with cost being the sole driving factor, it's my belief that the quality of the average US MT is no longer much better that the average Indian MT.
Dud you send a demand payment letter? sm
You can find a sample one by Googling.
If you do win in small claims court, the judgement will give you legal ways to collect. For example, having the sheriff put liens on bank accounts, using a collection agency, etc.
Good luck to you. I have been in your shoes and, fortunately, the demand payment letter worked for me.
Tell him for demand jobs you charge .02 more a line - sm
maybe that will cool him off, or if he wants 12 hour TAT .01 more a line.
I use Control N to end a job - Control T is for when viewing an old report
Don't know what you are talking about
yep, control, control, control... that's the main

You certainly demand a lot and are so aggressive. Hope you cool down when you are with your family.

What future demand is there for higher-skilled MTs? Inquiring mind wants to know. SM
Seriously--with computers taking over the keyboarding and the electronic medical record replacing much (just HOW much?) of the currently dictated verbage, what need will healthcare providers have that we can train to fill at least the same remuneration if not better? What potential is there for remote work? I confess I'm very fond of my current commute down the hall to my office, and googling MT in England, which has had the EMR for some time now, suggests it's high time I figure out how I'm going to keep it. Any thoughtful or knowledgeable answers would be greatly appreciated.
Send a letter of demand payment (check Nolo Law websites) - sm
to find any legalese you may want to include on it), and send it via Registered Mail, so that she must sign for it and you will get a receipt proving she received it. If she doesn't pay by your demand date, file a claim at Small Claims Court. Very inexpensive, and if she doesn't pay, and doesn't show up at court (in your state), you win by default. If still no payment, you can return to Small Claims and put a lien on her car, her house, anything you want, which can be forcibly confiscated by the Sheriff and then you can sell it to recoup the money owed to you.
Thank you.. you are right. I'm in control of what I do about this!

Why do you let this man control you? (sm)
Confront him about his actions. Do not hold back. If it continues, then discuss the problem with all your family members. You are letting him run your life. Then let your mother et AL decide whether they want to see you on your terms or if they prefer to have no relationship.
All this animosity will eat your alive. Get it off your chest and you do not need a counselor to do it. Just be yourself and be honest and upfront with him.

cannot control what others do
Personally I would just stop having anything to do with her. I would tell your husband why and no one else. Just stop doing anything with her, talking to her, etc. If you have kids, unless the kids are asking to see her, carry on with your life. And don't say it isn't that easy. It is. And what she does is what she does. What you do is what you do. What you and your husband have together is outside of what she does. Keep it simple. Don't say anything negative about her. I know you have hurt but you said you worked though it. You can do that with this too. Be strong.
The key to all of this is control+K
which allows the next keystroke to be entered as the command, in your case hit control B. When the box comes up, make sure the control box is checked, not shift or Alt, and then click okay. repeat at end of phrase.
Out of control
Although working from home is great - I have always felt as if the company that I worked for was more in control of my life than I was. Telling me when I had to have something done - even though they never live up to their own standards. One very well-thought of company on this board is just that way - I have QA sitting out there from the weekend and it hasn't been checked yet, but once it is, they will expect me to have it done in 30 minutes and to the hospital - I'm ready to give up this profession or vocation or whatever anyone wants to call it.

Control T
Some EXText users have the ability to reveiw old jobs--say you want to look at a physical exam for the dictator you're working on or you want to verify a dosage for a drug on a patient you're working . You can Control/S, then in the screen that pops up you can chose by date, trans ID, provider name, patient name, etc. In the documents that come up based on the parameters that you entered, you can select one of those documents. It's also a way to review what QA filled for any blanks you might have had. When you are finished reviewing, you Control/T to get out of that document and your working document pops back up. Working documents you Control/N. Reviewing documents (read only), Control/T.
Control
Hang in there....it will improve as time goes on.
Control
I am actively searching for a new company. This is a no-win situation.
I don't know nor do I have control over the MT
community. What I can control is my own career. Other MTs have to take control of their careers, too. IMHO, to work for an MTSO/get paid by production as a newbie MT is career suicide. I never made less than, equal to or close to a housekeeper as a newbie. I started as a medical-legal word processor of sorts - self-taught - took classes here and there and the rest is history. My advice to new MTs is to get a job as a file clerk or other admin in a hospital or med group and work your way into a MT clerk and then MT position. You already have your foot in the door by the fact that you are an employee of the hospital or med group 
And we also have a bit more control over the

Sorry, I meant to say hit Control-Alt-UP

It's difficult but necessary to be in control
Otherwise you are simply allowing little Hitlers to grow up and become *adults* - your job is not to be their friend, your job is to be their parent.
Why would you allow your kids to have friends that you wouldn't allow in your house if they were your friends?
Why would you allow filthy language, out-of-control behavior, and downright liars even on your property?
Are you afraid of your kids? if so, why?
Good luck
sorry, don't think it's either new or damage control
Remote Control
AND you can keep the remote control right next to your keyboard to mute it when necessary. I think it sounds great. I might try it!
How to unbold, control +B again?

If you try to control your IC's schedule
in the eyes of the IRS? If that is the case, I would encourage your "ICs" to ask for benefits.
Settings, control and then where?
Settings, control and then where - can you help me?
Thanks so much!
not other poster but it isn't under the control tab; sm
it is under the playback tab under settings. it is the fifth one down that says auto back step on stop. i have mine set at 2000.
Yes, and one could only believe that if one believed this was something they had no control over. sm
I don't think that way at all. Please. How many gay movie stars are we just now finding out were gay all their lives. And we never knew. I am sorry, but that is the coward's and liar's way. To have a family knowing you are gay and have no intention of giving up your other way of life. Shameful.
pest control
Did it kill your grass? You know, like roundup turns it brown?
I gave the tip about using control+K
for command entries.
I purchased ShortHand and it is in the instruction manual that came with it.
Steps for control T.
When using control/T to close out the Control/S document, you must make sure the Control/S document is fully open and that it is the document on top. The document you see should have "read only" next to the patient's name. If it is not on top, control/T will close out everything.
Here are the steps: When you open Control/S, pull up the doc you want to review, etc., it comes up first. When you go back to the document you're transcribing, the Control/S document goes behind your working document. When you minimize your working document to Control/T the viewing document, it will go to a split window, and then you have to make sure the reviewing document is on top before you Control/T. I hope this makes sense--You can't Control/T with a split window or both documents showing at the same time. You must click on the read only document to open it to view so there is no split screen and the only document you see is the read only document. Otherwise, you close out both documents.
control is only an illusion - just when you
something happens to change the illusion.
Such is life.
Well, the patient does have some control, actually.
The patient can see another doctor without mentioning seeing this doctor, if he/she believes this MD's opinion is worthless. You can hope the best for the patient, but that's about it. Now if you worked in this MD's office as an employee or you were an IC (I am assuming you are doing hospital work and he is just one of the dictators), then you could decide you didn't want to earn your living from him anymore, but if you are in a service/hospital employee situation, then you just groan when you get him, call him ugly names if you work at home, type his reports, and steer your family and friends toward better MDs whenever possible.
I think most patients can recognize a jerk when they meet one.
She was just trying to do damage control (for herself of course)
and you're right - she was told to leave, she didn't leave on her own volition. She just wanted to make it look that way to save face.
