I am naive!
I assumeed that they would make sure that their samples were correct. Didn't realize it was a common problem.
I still have to purchase an Expander system as everyone raves about them. At least I'll know what people are talking about!
Thanks.
boy are you naive! sm
whether you choose to believe that there is no government/pharma conspiracy does not mean there is not one. There has been one since the 50s when they decided to flourinate the water we drink. Flouride is a rat poison, and we are being forced to drink it daily. As far as marijuana goes, why do you think they are trying so hard to keep it illegal? It DOES have healing properties and I am not saying that because I am a PRO-Pot supporter, as you suggest. You cannot deny the facts as they exist, but the government can surely try to keep it from being used to treat the illnesses they have so knowingly created in our society. They want to keep us dumb and naive, and make us think that they are out for OUR good, which is completely false. Just look at the economy today. I suppose that was done for our good too. and as far as not wanting "your physician, bus driver, pilot, babysitter, schoolteacher, or anyone performing a service for you to be toking or hemping up," you would rather have then drunk on alcohol, because that is legal???? I do daily dictations for a well respected orthopedic surgeon and he is pretty much intoxicated every single night while he dictates, but that's okay though. I surely would not want to be one of his patients and go under his drunken knife!!! Pull your head out of the sand and actually see what is going on around you. Don't take our so called government at face value and honestly believe that they are their for our good. This is a "me" world right now, and they are only in it for themselves and the lifelong benefits government officials receive! and no, I don't smoke pot, toke, or get hemped up, but I surely do believe in its healing properties.
you are naive.......nm

You honestly believe that? Wow, naive.

You may be correct, but also may be naïve...sm
unfortunately the biggies that are sending to India, also have the power to lobby for the legislation that works for more profits in their pockets... that is our capitalist system!
Call me Naive
I had no idea that Escription did this. However, I do run a Spyware removal program daily on my computer and it does find items to delete; never considered that they came from Escription, however. Thanks for the heads up. The only solution that I know of is to either quit the Escription or run the spyware removal program before, during and after its use.
Not naive at all. Been in this industry for 25+ years and SM
I know honest from crooked. These companies are falsely advertising (failing to give the client the correct information) to obtain them as part of their client base who has a regular contact administrative personnel in the U.S. to snag them, hype the company up with the low line rates, and be sending our citizens' medical records overseas in a sweat shop setting and wage equivalent. Please, you are being quite gullible, and until we as a profession make the necessary parties aware, things will only continue to decline in this profession.
That is not what you stated in your original post. Don't act so naive
about pirating/dubbing software, or even worse, DONT write about doing it! Everyone knows it's illegal. Do you have any idea what the monetary violation would cost you by doing so? No. I didn't think so.
I hope I dont sound naive, can you tell me how you travel with a laptop and transcribe? I have neve
I have never done this but I'm trying to plan it so it is feasible for me. I know to travel I'd need a laptop. Does the laptop accomodate a regular foot pedal or does it take a USB and also do your headphones plug into it? What do you do about internet when traveling? Thanks, you can email the info if you'd like, I'd like to get these plans figured out and all the answers on this I could get would be great!
You are right, it is not the norm at first, but including myself and many others that I know
personally, we do make around 100 or more per day working for a national. It is very possible! You just gottah look.
I still don't understand how someone can have so many years experience, be on the same system, and make less than 175 lines per hour. I don't understand.
Maybe they are not typing fast enough or know enough terms, is all I can think of.
I've switched jobs in the past few months and started off slow, but now up to approximately 200 lph - came from a job where I did 350 lph on WP5.1 and now on an internet platform. I don't kill myself everyday working either.
it usually is......including lottery...sm
one has a better chance of getting hit by lightning than winning a lottery...any lottery.....there is a 1 in 14 million chance of winning THE lottery....and a much smaller chance of getting hit by lightning, at least in Florida....*lol*

....but probably not a LOT more! 8-)

I am not understanding- is that including
our changing, adding, etc. to get the finished report? in other words - if a VR report starts at 87 before our editing, and we have to put in say 3 extra lines, does it still stay at 87 when all is finished? Thanks.

Most veterinarians I know (including specialists) ...sm
hand write their notes on charts or have preset templates for things like procedures that the doctor inserts data into to make a printed report. My dog sees a dermatologist and it only takes him about 2 minutes to send a note through this latter means to her regular vet, and my cat has seen a gastroenterologist who used a preset template when they did an ultrasound on her abdomen when she sent the report to the regular vet.
Due to the expense I would say you'd have a better chance of trying to obtain some work through a specialist veterinarian, but I would think it would be a minimal amount of dictation. Good luck on the search!
If your contract does not have including spaces sm
you can attach an addendum to it to read "9 cents per 65 character line including spaces" and sign it, mail to them and have the owner sign it and send you a copy of the signed contract. If they won't do that, it probably is without spaces and they didn't want to tell you.

Yes, but every profession, including journalists,
have their own set of rules that they use. I used to know the Associated Press book of style but that was many years ago. But since journalists always use pleaded, I am just that is one of the AP style rules. It is really quite fascinating. Like when referring to the president, the first time they would say President Bush, but subsequent references to him would be Mr. Bush. Also, you never, never, never call someone a suspect without throwing that word ALLEGED in there.
Happy Father's Day to ALL including...nm
I pay .108 cpl, full benefits including PTO. sm
I do not have high turnover but have had accounts stolen out from under me by offshore MTSOs charging 8 to 10 cpl. I can't raise rates because no one will pay them. I am not unhappy, just realistic that the AHDI and their support of offshore companies has made the smaller MTSOs in the USA suffer greatly.
I have employees not ICs and know how to schedule. 4 MTs that were to work did not so I picked up the slack. I was not complaining, just stating facts of why the industry is going downhill.

I would not work without my production software, including spellcheck sm
I think it's great that you were able to do this work in the conditions that you did. But times have changed and we have technology to make us more accurate and more productive, so why not use them??
I have several pieces of software that I use, and if I was offered a job that wouldn't allow me to use any one of them, I would flat out refuse it. i have found the combination that works best for me, and if they can't be flexible to get the best work out of me as possible, then I don't need to work for them!!
Yes, 25 yrs exp in all acute care, including Op Reports, and no response. sm
Personally, I think the companies just get so many resumes and have to weed through them. First come first serve is probably how they handle it. So, my suggestion would be, if you are seriously looking, be one of the first ones to send you resume as soon as the jobs post. Maybe that will help.
To be honest, I have been applying to ads that are a few days to a week old. I think that is probably the key to no response.
No, it is 65 character lines including spaces. The only canned text is my own.
I get mostly the same dictators on the same account every day. I do have carpal tunnel starting, so, gotta get it while I can.

Cuba, including having food poisioning as I had a private clinic,
and open weather storm doors overlooking the Carib Ocean all for $140. The biggest fee was for the doctor's "abdominal examination." He was very impressed I had Compazine with me and was an MT. The people are wonderful, friendly, honest, hard working, and other than a lack of what we consider necessities, live a rich life. Best fruit I've ever eaten in my life! I have to admit that I went first class with a private vehicle with a driver/translator/tour guide but even considering that, the cost was less than other Carib vacations for a week's stay. Don't go if you can't live without eating beef, though. That is hard to come by and flattened out by hammer to look like a bigger serving than it actually is heehee
Times change..including this policy about who is able to post. About a year ago,
this board started letting everyone post job openings, at least to what I can remember. I know at one point if they were India-based/affiliated etc..then they could not advertise but since anymore it is so rampant with companies being associated with India, they started letting them post. I could be wrong but this is what I recall.
I work Friday-Tuesday including 8 hours each Sat and Sunday.
I like it a lot, but don't think I could do three 12-hour days in a row, no matter which days they are. Someone must have done it successfully or they wouldn't be offering it, though, so go for it and Good Luck!
Signed! You should post this on all boards, including Medquist, where I'm sure a lot would sign

After living thru 3 hurricanes last year, including Tropical Storm Bonnie, EVERYONE
coastal or inland,and 50 miles east or west,should be prepared - no matter how far inland you live. Check out www.themountaineer.com to see the pics on the flooding that happened in the mountains of N.C. from the remnants. In Jacksonville,FL we first received a large tornado from T.S.Bonnie,which was nowhere near us,and it was downhill from there. After Charlie, we got our power and phone back 2 days before Frances came and knocked them out again. When the meat began to defrost, we fired up the grill and cooked everything and invited the entire neighborhood. Everyone brought something to contribute, whether it was canned beans or Twinkies. After having to evacuate for Hurricane Floyd a few years ago, I am,and will always be,prepared. You don't have to have a lot of money to prepare. When hurricane season gets close, purchase a couple extra cans of food everytime you go shopping and SET THEM ASIDE. Save and clean your milk jugs or even the plastic soda bottles. FEMA cannot always get there immediately,especially when there is extensive damage. I was a claims adjuster during Hurricane Andrew. There was debris, damaged vehicles,trees and powerlines everywhere. It took us over 4 hours to go less than 10 miles. Imagine what FEMA had to deal with to get their big trucks in. There is absolutely NO REASON for ANYONE in Florida or the other gulf states (that's right - STATES - not just the coast)not to be prepared when hurricane season starts. Do not wait until a storm is expected to strike your area in 2 days. Florida is one of the most prepared states in the hurricane zones and look at the trouble they are having. The government is there to help provide with immediate necessities - not to rebuild your life. That is up to you.
don't do annual but do big trips every few years. Last year went to Africa including safari
spent 18 days - one day traveling there, (stopping in for a day in London), then two weeks working at an orphanage and girls vocational school, safari on the weekend, then two days of travel back. Whew!

I don't live in NYC and I don't work out of NYC and I make wayyyyy more than $23 an hour, SandyGIRL.
I'm an employee at the largest national and I make anywhere from $58K to $64K a year.
You don't have to believe anyone but you show your ignorance by telling those of us who make that money that we're full of it.
