sorry, I just can't resist correcting Enlgish grammar.
might I also iterate that sentence structure may only be altered when your account is NOT verbatim.

I missed that whole thing...what was that all about
nm
first I've heard of it..sorry I missed it; but
they'll get their code of conduct course in jail I guess.
YES! Don't think I've missed an episode yet.
Again, you've missed the meaning.
The interpretation is this: Money will speak louder than just writing a letter. Speak financially. Get it now?
Well HI!! You've been missed:-) Don't worry...
they're not deleting that many posts. Just the ones that list the actual website or are telling lies. They posted a note that those would be deleted, said we are welcome here and that if wished to follow Sherri they provided a link to her new site and her email address. Some are just so spiteful you know..keep posting it over and over again.
You've missed the entire point!
Duh! It's the docs who don't want to pay my dear. You're really expecting to get blood out of a turnip, aren't you? Quit blaming the MTSOs and look at the entity who's calling the shots - The doctors/clinics who hire the MTSO.
Could've just missed the word "significant"
Perhaps, he meant to say "with no significant past medical history."
My sink is the only thing I've sm
been able to keep clean. I just can't get back on track. I do MT out of the house 35 hours and do MT part time from home. I really have trouble with piles of papers. I was just reading Flylady's answer to that, keep no paper, so I will have to work on that.
Just wondering how many many MTs follow flylady. Thanks for answering.
By the way, flybabies are followers of flylady.net a really good system to get organized (when you apply it Ü). Sm is see message and NM is no message so you don't waste time opening an empty post.
You've done the smartest thing by
reaching out for help here. I encourage you to continue to do so. Make ample use of the word "no" to any unreasonable demands, and even if you just feel like it sometimes. Finally, please don't buy into the holiday hype and BS the retailers try to feed you. Blessings to you and your family.
That is the most bizarre thing I've ever seen.
I can't imagine doing transcription with one of those.
One more thing, I've been in MT and QA long enough to know that just
feel like you had no trouble with the terminology, doesn't mean you didn't have trouble.
I have come across many MTs who believe they know what they are doing and really don't.
I've had exactly the same thing happen, where (sm)
the doc jumped around in the report, asking you to insert things here and there, and just ASSUMING that you had the correct template and/or adequate samples in front of you, and that you could read their minds.
That's the silliest thing I've...
ever seen in my life. They've got to be kidding. Just my opinion. Anxious to hear others.
It was helpful for me, Sheesh. I've done the right thing and
I sincerely hope that others will as well.
It doesn't matter whether or not we agree but the language used and the intent demonstrated. That is what I was talking about.
I fully realize that there will be people who cannot leave a good thing alone. I feel sorry for those individuals. They apparently have no peace, no satisfaction, and no friendliness in their lives. They only know how to destroy, or to attempt to.
I'm going to demonstrate what I want back from others - positivity, compassion, forgiveness, tolerance - whether or not I receive that from you or anyone else. If you do not return to me the same as I have offered, then that is between you and your own soul. :)
I appreciate your point of view; I just don't share it.
I hope everyone has a good evening tonight and a productive day tomorrow! I can't believe summer is almost over with and school starts back soon. Rather funny to me, my son has griped all summer about nothing to do (despite a part-time job, camping trips, Disneyland trip, youth events, etc.) and now that school is coming back around he feels "stressed" because there's not enough time to do all he wants to do! Hahahaha
There's one thing that I've seen stop many many people....
A heart attack or cancer. My father-in-law SWORE he could not quit not matter what, but had a coronary and that was his last cigarette. My own father quit cold turkey after 3+ packs a day when he began coughing so hard he couldn't catch his breath. I've also known people who had a cancer scare and were able to quit. If nothing else, FEAR will do it. Unfortunately, waiting for the fear might be too late for many.
Yep, sure do. They've sucked up to the Trinidad thing, just like some other
companies we know. They use a platform and it's a system where they use common MTs, and those common MTs are in Trinidad. It APPEARS as though they don't outsource offshore, but in reality, they do.
I've done the same thing, Snow Bunny - sm
I get a copy of MY MEDICAL records no matter where I go and check the transcription, and I will absolutely positively make corrections on them and return them to the doc/office/hospital in person and let them know that if I were looking for a lawsuit and money, this is where I would start, with my medical records! I then ask for a corrected medical report.
funny thing...this is my spare I've never used. sm
I just pulled it off the shelf to let a friend borrow it. I figured it may just be dusty...?
I've had this problem and the only thing that worked for me....sm
was to slow down turnaround. They called within a couple of days. Told them I had to take on extra work to meet my own bills by paying customers which slowed down their turnaround. I had my check the next day. Don't know how they managed that, but they did. Since then, there have been a couple of times that it was a week or so late, but not like they used to do. I honestly think as long as they can get away with it, they will. I wonder how long they would last if their paychecks were 2-3 weeks late. Really irks me.
We've had that CD burner thing happen too
We build our own systems instead of getting prepackaged ones so sometimes it is absolutely agonizing trying to get everything to work together. I have a CD-ROM (not burner) that I've had for probably ten years and when all else fails and I just need access to a CD, I use it. It's still chugging along.
I've always been curious about the satellite thing...
We are considering moving from the city to the sticks in the very near future, and I'm finding a lot of areas we can ONLY get satellite for high speed internet.
I have seen a few job ads that say no satellite, but why is that? I really know nothing about that service so there is probably an easy answer, I just don't know what it is.
It would be good to know if that will be a major problem before we move out there and I find myself out of a job. ;)
This is the funniest thing I've heard in all my
make 3 cpl... if you are really a physician, please stick to that, you'll make more money seeing one patient than we can edit reports in 12 hours! Furthermore, the jobs even that are classified as IC make you stick to a schedule! So, there's no coming and going between patients, okay?! 
I mean this OP is joking right?????????????
That's the craziest f@$^@#(ng thing I've ever heard
I've worked for a hospital at home and they don't all have those restrictions. If I didn't know better, I'd swear is was one of those situations where they're looking for a reason to be able to offshore- can't find anybody to do the job. No noise, music, TV? How do you work at home and eliminate those things?
That is THE most dangerous thing I think I've ever heard. You don't understand it?!
One thing I've learned in life is it's impossible to
stand up for themselves. Maybe only 1 in 100 will even try. Sad to say, but we've brought a lot of this onto ourselves.
I've been doing the same thing with my Smartype LOL was hoping there was a program
xx
Cuz i've been a word geek reading 1000 wpm since age 8. This MT thing keeps
guess if I couldn't be a doctor, MT is the closest I could come without investing $100K.
Oh, my. That's the funniest thing I've read in a long time.
AHDI: Solving the world's problems, one foreign MT at a time.
ROLFMAO
Amen, and I will add one more thing. If I had a penny for all the times I've heard, "just a ty
well, maybe I wouldn't be rich, but I could buy a months' worth of groceries! LOL
Honestly that is the most intelligent thing I've heard from an MT co. in a long time. Completely
You have to be able to retain knowledge.
You have to know how to reserach effectively.
You have to be able to use deductive reasoning.
You have to have confidence in your decisions and not constantly "need assurance."
You have to be able to separate sounds in your head that are both internal and from multiple external forces.
Some of these can be taught, some are innate, some take years to develop, some either you got it or you don't.
LOL! Well, good! I've done ONE good thing today, then. NM

I've had two dell laptops and 5 Dell PCs. Here's the thing...
Make sure you get the extended warranty, again, MAKE SURE YOU GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. And, here is why.
My first laptop went out on my, though it was a couple of years old. Because I had the extended warranty, a service tech came to my house, replaced motherboard, hard drive, heat sink, and keyboard. He was able to back up everything first and restored it once all the new stuff was in place.
One of my PCs kept giving some weird blue screen error and I couldn't get to go even in safe mode. I called up Dell, told them the problem, they looked up my extended warranty and they sent someone out to repair it.
Overall, I have been happy with Dell products. The only drag is that everything Dell sells regarding accessories is proprietary and you have to order it through Dell. No generic accessories will work. My suggestion is if you decide to buy a Dell laptop, make sure you get the car power supply and you might even get a 2nd regular power supply because I have been known to leave town and forget the power supply at the house. Now, I have everything in my laptop bag for when I go out of town and can just throw my laptop in the bag and know everything is there.
Lastly, some Dell laptops require a special aircard to connect to the internet. I ended up getting a 2 cabled USB air card and I'm glad I did because 2 USB plug ins give better reception than one.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask. I'm happy to help.
I use EXText with my current job and I've used at a couple of other jobs I've had. I've ne
used DocQscribe, but I have used Meditech, Cerner, Vianeta, the Precyse platform (I can't remember the name), Dolbey, and Lanier platform I think was called Cequence (?).
Out of all the different platforms I have typed on, I have liked EXText the best. In my opinion, it's very user friendly, easy to learn, and I really like ESP which is the built in abbreviation expander. Plus it is very easy to create your own normals which I love. My fingers literally never leave the keyboard because there are macro keys for everything. You can use your mouse if you prefer or learn the function macros. I love it. I think I'm more productive on EXText than with any other platform.
I missed it.
What happened? I wanted Janelle to win so bad.
I missed it!
who won?
I missed so much...
Goodness, I need to start watching it again. I have missed WAY to much. Thanks for the scoop!
Hopefully all you missed was...
carrie underwear...
must have missed it
nm
I missed that!
I taped it though--I'll have to watch that. Elliott is so sweet.
must have missed it....sm
and yes, they do tend to come out on Fridays...given the opportunity. overworked and underpaid??....hmmm...I don't think so....just bad attitudes. JMO (even though I don't know what it was about). :^)
For all those who missed it.....
I found this website that should have the transcript soon.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/gb.html
I think you missed something -
the patient spoke English, the doctor did not and he could not understand the patient. Are we supposed to find an interpreter for our doctor appointments to speak the doctor's primary language?
Perhaps I missed something but...
Do we not just double space between paragraphs and anatomy headings? Why would she make more money if only getting paid per character? Maybe I'm misreading.
I think you missed it by about
20 years or more. The pay was great in the past but steadily has dropped. I have typed on electronic records for at least 5+ years and nothing has changed, at least pay except going down. To make an excellent salary I would think you would have to get your own accts, not nationals, be able to transcribe excessively fast and work long hours, might be doable. To work for most nationals you need about 2 years experience also.
You missed my point I
being a roadside idiot holding a stopandgo sign.
that is the bottomline.
I have many years of experience of transcription.
If you don't see the writing on the wall of where MTing is going - well, whoa be it for me
to explain it to you.
I'm just bowled over by the fact that after this many years
my experience is worth less than if I had never learned
how to type, learned English grammar, learned to type 100 cwpm, struggled my way through computer education on my own,
learned medical terms, drug names and values, learned foreign
dialects, learned many specialties .......that here 30 years later I
can hold a sign and make the same money.
But you stay in the field if you feel like you will come out ahead.
Since they have turned the career into a profit making machine for
a bunch of suits - the respectability of it and the career side of it
seems to me has flown out the window and the MT has become nothing
more than a part of that apparatus that can be replaced at their whim, and rather
cheaply -
LOL. I think you missed my point, too. sm
I said benefits "should" be paid to employees, not that employers were required to pay them. That is one of the main reasons people choose to be employees, the benefits. Hopefully, your MQ PTO has improved. When I left them approximately 4 years ago the PTO was a measly 3 days for the whole year to include holidays, sickness, and vacation. At least now I have 6 paid holidays plus 10 days PTO a year plus other benefits including company-paid life insurance, short and long term disability, etc. 
The point you missed is...
The OP never said that her supervisor asked MTs to work extra. If your supervisor asks you to work extra and you do, and there is no work for the other MTs during their schedule...then this is a different story. This would then be considered a problem with management because they are allowing others to work extra and grab another MTs lines. If MTs are not being asked to work extra and they are anyway, then this is a problem with greedy MTs not working their schedule. There is a big difference between the two.
The bottom line is: The problem starts with MTs not working their schedule. If management does not follow through and take care of the problem, then it becomes a problem with management.
you missed the point entirely.

I think I missed the ad in the paper that says you must
paint your house a funky color. I'm thinking I missed a huge sale at Home Depot on paint because my neighbors are going crazy with the colors. Yes, I understand home depot and Lowe's screws up paint and you can get the mixed up colors very cheap but geez. My neighborhood is going crazy with weird paint colors on their houses. Two months ago someone painted their house bright green with bright pink trim, then came the peach house with green trim, bright yellow house followed by bright blue house with the leftover yellow trim. New house being built across the street is all burnt orange including the fence. They even painted the driveway burnt orange and not UT vols orange. Now my neighbor is painting hers bright green. It's not a bad neighborhood here in Central Florida and the houses here run from 150s to 300s but these colors are horrendous. I think if I put my house up for sale I won't get an offer because the peach house, green and pink house, and orange house are all on the dead end street I'm on.
Missed most of it but what I caught was fun!!

i think you missed the point...lol
