you think the whole world is Disneyized. You think the male buck stands over the baby deer and protects it, on his wife's behalf. You think Simba's daddy looks for him when lost. Nature is nasty and completely insensitive to feelings. The law is survival of the fittest. Even daddy seals come in and slaughter babies when they find out a rival fathered them. But go on...dream on your pretty little dreams. I notice the only babies ever really championed for are the cute fuzzy ones...go cuddle a rattlesnake, why doncha!
oh and ps I was not original poster who put this controversy on the board, now was I?

How soft is the touch, is it a muffled sound (microsoft used to make a very soft touch keyboard.
You can't buy it anymore and I hate the clacky ones. I think a really soft one sounds muffled when you hit the key. Thanks
not a bit homophobic. love queer guys for straight guys.
these guys are clever and witty and have good taste. they are who they are. not a problem. i have problems with boy-men who are currently trendy now. that's my taste. and it's kind of scary that women are attracted to these unisex boy-men culturally. no big deal unless you make it one. this is a board to exchange ideas right?
IN THEIR NATURE ?!?!?!!?!
It's attitudes like that that make them think they have a right to cheat, after all, Boys will be boys............ PLEASE
the nature of what you are looking for
? is it only what we wished we knew as a beginning MT, or every other aspect of the business too?
I know men cheat, its in their nature. I'm just saying
They don't commit either, and when we get cheated on or rejected it hurts and its just difficult. I wish they weren't like that, always wanting to go after something younger, better or sexier, but yes thats the way it goes. Its awful. Women get the short end of the stick in just about everything. I'm not saying there are no good men out there, but for the most part, I just cannot ever trust one or give up my life for one ever again. Its sad. Guys can find committment and love easily but we women have to claw, grip and lose our minds to find it and hold on to it.
Yes, I think it's human nature

I don't understand it, but it's nature.
Like any other pet, the owner should read up on them and educate him/herself about this particular kind of animal before getting one. If you separate them at the right time, they're fine. You just have to know how to take care of them.
I still think they're pretty. I love their colors and they're comical too - they just "vant to be alone".
LOL
Human nature
People generally don't talk about how happy they are on a regular basis. They tend to want to talk to others when something is bothering them, and focus more on the negative. So I guess it makes sense that you don't see a lot of posts that say "Ladeedah, how I love my job and what a stupendous day it is in the transcription world today!" The job is just a means to a happier life, not the definition of a happy life.
Personally, I feel honored that I am in this profession. Not because of the money or the skill and intelligence that it requires, but primarily because it allows me to be home with my daughter instead of shipping her off to daycare every day for some stranger to screw up. That is why I will deal with the lack of raises, crappy dictators, periodic lack of work, mgmt that is too overworked to care, etc. To be with my baby all the time and still bring in a paycheck, however meager it may be.
Given the extreme nature of your anxiety
plus your other medications, I wouldn't mess with it. Just because it's "natural" doesn't mean there aren't any side effects. The warnings on RxMed say not to take with MAO, SSRI, tricyclic antidepressants or dopamine agonists.
For starters, St. John's wort causes skin photosensitivity, mucus membrane inflammation, and interferes with birth control pills. I don't know if that's a concern for you or not. Kava kava can cause skin reactions, pupillary dilatation, lack of skeletal muscle coordination, and may exacerbate depression.
There are some European studies out there indicating that St. John's wort is effective with mild side effects. Still, I'd avoid taking herbs period with your existing symptoms and medications.
Because of my competitive nature, I would use it as incentive to
produce more and make more money.
I always like to know where I fall compared to other MTs - am I in the middle of the pack, on the bottom or on top. If I am not on top, than I would do my best to get there. That is just my nature. I strive to be the best that I can be, although sometimes we all fall short. No biggy!! Just do your best and produce what you physically can, and that will have to be enough for that particular day.
Just use the daily information as an incentive for yourself!
Good luck to you.
missed point nature
North, south, east and west do not change, correct. It was funny as she said "depends on which way you are coming from." Here in our berg, streets try to be north and south, east and westbound, as that was an east and westbound street they were on. Just killed me, sorry I was entertained.
Snakes do a lot of good in nature, most are harmless.

Use mother nature's WOOD HEAT !!
and maybe get a down comforter for the back bedroom...
"It's all about me" - nature of the beast - literally

I used to let mine out too and thought nature was great -
Until he went missing and animal control brought him to me in a bag the next day! Who knows how long he lay in the road after he was hit by that car. It just breaks my heart thinking about it. My cats stay inside now and are very happy with their cat trees and toys.
Hope U are just baiting us and your nature isnt

Its human nature to impose on other people whats right for yourself!
Even when its not asked for. Maybe some people like to surround themselves with nonsense and chaos, where as I like peace and quiet! I think people who like working with other people are either pretending or just plain crazy!
No - I do not want implants or a mastopexy - I was just wishing for nature to take care of it!
My breasts are of a nice size naturally. I am not vain - underwire bras are fine for me.
Tax guy told me because of nature of job and way computers outdate so quickly, could get new one

I'm paranoid by nature, I guess. :) I agree that not all of the services out there are bad. SM
I've just not had much luck with any service and the one I spoke about above was the worst. That was early in my career and I felt like I was pretty close friends with the supervisor and then to be treated the way I was treated, really just hurt. Ever since then, I've distanced myself in my work life. Business is business.
I will say, though, that I am a loyal person. If I'm treated fairly, I will give 110%. I think that's what happening these days in the MT world. MTs aren't getting treated very fair and there are just bad feelings everywhere. You're constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop. If a job offer is too good to be true, then it probable is too good to be true. And now everyone is playing cover your behind and making sure contracts cover everything. I just think MTs need to play hardball like the big companies. If you are working as an IC, you should have a ready made contract for whatever service you contract with. Why should you be the only one signing rights away?
I've also had the opportunity to read the contract between a big service and one of their hospital clients. The line rate that this particular service charged was mind boggling. I don't feel bad about stealing accounts away from services like that.
I agree Nature Sounds better than music.. IMHO.. NM

It was rude in nature. 'Thanking' people for cherrypicking was uncalled for.

How does one get in touch with you?nm
MD in Touch
Anyone familiar with this platform who would care to share pros and cons of it. Are you able to produce a good line count, is it easy to learn, can you use PC ShortHand Expander with it? Thanks for your input.
It's the only thing I will touch. :) nm

If other have "dull" touch, do you mean this has a ...sm
soft, easy touch? Old lexmark keyboards were extremely soft to the touch which I loved. Just can't find that anymore. Is that how this one is?
touch screens
Yes, they do exist. I bought an HP Touchsmart (computer/touch screen monitor in one) for the same reason you are interested in touch screens, and my pain then moved from my wrist/hand to my shoulder, so I don't really recommend this myself.
What has helped me is the input device I purchased at about the same time. It is called an AlphaGrip (link below), and what drew me to it is the fact that the mouse is right at the tip of your thumbs while you're typing. It took a little getting used to, but has been well worth it and fairly easy to transition. I now transcribe from my easychair, reclined the entire time.
Check it out!

Proof of how out of touch they are with the average MT
If ever there was proof of how out of touch AAMT is with the everyday life of the average MT, the annual meeting in Honolulu is it. First of all, the economy is pretty much in the toilet and airfare has gone up, as has everything else. Well, every has gone up except our wages. My employer, a hospital, has very little money in the budget to share with everyone in medical records for educational activities. The hospital sure wouldn't pay the $3000 bucks, or whatever the total cost is, to send any of us to Honolulu. If I were to pay out of pocket to go, why go to the tropics in September and spend the time in windowless hotel ballrooms, attending educational sessions?
How much farther out of the way for the average MT could the meeting be? Bangalore or Bombay?
If keyboard is old, a new one might not be as stiff to touch. nm

There are keyboards that have a touch pad incorporated
in them. I think I've seen them with a tracker ball too.
Yes-- I have an Adesso with a built-in touch pad
It works very well for me-- you don't have to move your hand that far to use it. It is strange at first, but once you get used to it, you will love it.
My feet don't touch the ground so I
When I sit in my chair, my feet don't even touch the ground, because I need my chair height to be such that I am not looking up at the screen.
I have big platform sandals that I use. They are great. One on each foot. You can move your feet around, but they are nice and high from the ground, like a movable foot stool.
GOODCO could you tell me how to get in touch with GTN and keystrokes. sm
I also am looking for a good company to go with for IC status. Thank you I would really appreciate it. Have a good day.
Not ONE of my 3 kids would touch that stuff.

Gold touch keyboards
I have had mine for about a year now and I will never use any other kind. The touch on these keyboards are wonderful! You can't go wrong with a Gold touch.
Yes, good luck getting in touch with
anyone at MQ. I never got my W2 from them. The IRS sent them a notice to respond in 10 days and a possible fine but still nothing.
My Yorkie would not touch Iams
I bought my 5.5 lb yorkie Iams and he would not eat it. At one year old he got hemorhagic gastritis a few weeks ago and almost died so now he eats Purina vet formula for GI problems.
I'm 48. I use to blog, to stay in touch with
others with similar interests, to share pictures, to keep an eye on what my older teens and their friends are doing (yes, they know and comment me all the time). Try it. You might just discover that you might gain an appreciation for something new.
The Best, Soft, Air-touch Keyboard Around
http://www.opamerica.com/product_info.php/products_id/782
is there a super-light touch
keyboard that is also split and (hope upon hope) with a rise in the middle like the MS ones?
than trying to use laptop keyboard and touch pad.

How to get in touch with social security?
Went by the office this morning, unbelievable, just wanted to set up an appt but too many waiting. I tried to find the web site but had no luck therel. I have heard you can set up an appt that way, just need to know where to look. TIA.
light touch keyboard
I have a logitech DiNovo.l It is pretty expensive but it is small, flat and makes hardly any noise. The only draw back is that it comes with a separate number key pad. The key pad is not connected to the keyboard. I love this keyboard with my laptap. It is the same size as my laptop and fits flat in my laptop case so I can take it with me anywhere.
You can buy USB touch pads on E-Bay, usually cheap.

And, speaking of the personal touch,
since I was a legal secretary, I type his business and personal letters and get paid the same line count. There is a chair in the doctor's office where we make the exchange everyday - I pick up the tapes and patient list from that chair and he picks up the transcribed reports from that same chair. We have been doing it this way since the beginning and it works very well. We are just comfortable with each other. And, yes, I count my blessings everyday.
I'm with you, Peg. I hated EMDAT. I will never touch
Demographics weren't filled in and had to look up every doctor name/address, and sorry, but the spellcheck was horrid. Even with the "setup" the company gave me that was supposed to correct it, it was the worst I've ever seen. Please, Rosey, do not make such broad statements and expect everyone to love something merely because you do. A lot depends on how the company maintains their platform. Have you ever worked on any other platforms? EMDAT is one of the most cumbersome programs out there so I doubt you've had much experience with more sophisticated platforms.
We don't touch bodily fluids
Hair dressers go for further education to keep up with the trends. The trends for us are in the dictation. It's do or die. We don't have to wait and see what's new, it's right there every day in each dictation, i.e., new meds, new studies, new information.
If we require credentialing, then every one in the medical field including receptionists and file clerks in the medical records department should require credentialing since we all handle confidential medical information.
advil doesnt touch mine
I used to get this all the time it drove me crazy. It felt like a constant burning band. I was hold my arms up by my neck and shoulder. Is there anyway you can find something to support your arms while you type? I bought a chair with arms, and i put a 2 x 4 board across the arms and rest my elbows on that and let my fingers do the work, not my neck. I also have a split keyboard. When the pain was severe, like yours, I would get up and put a warm wash cloth and sort of massage it into my neck every couple of hours while stretching, and then apply some icy hot so it really penetrated into it. As a poster stated, xanax works and anything that relaxes the muscles, Soma, or Flexeril, ativan, buspar (antianxiety), on top of the massage, heat n stretches. I also cut out the coffee and sugar because i'm an anxious person and I clench constantly. That should get you through until you find away to rest the arms while working. I know with this job, one part of our body will suffer, either arms, wrists or hand joints, even neck and shoulder. I wish they'd invent something to take the strain off of every muscle for us gals who have to sit here day after day! Anyways, I feel your pain, hang in there.
Or completely immature and out of touch with reality
