no other job I could do where I could have made the money I am making without a college degree.  Yep, I started out with low pay.  Instead of whining about it, I got a lot of experience under my belt, worked in a hospital for quite a few years and learned MT inside and out, can transcribe any speciality and any type of report, and now I am reaping the benefits.  You reap what you sow.  Complaining never helped anyone get ahead.  Hard work and a willingness to do whatever it takes does.  I am living proof, as are many of my MT colleagues.  I was never one to complain, I just took what was available, worked hard and learned everything I could, and look for the next opportunity that offered more pay and through the years have gone from about $6 an hour to now a whole lot more.  I won't bother to say how much because you'd tell me I'm lying.  Fine with me if you don't believe me, but I now get 15 cpl (own accounts) and can transcribe 300+ lines per hour.  You do the math.  I didn't get here by whining about how bad I had it or how overworked and underpaid I was.  Even at $6 an hour I did my best and worked hard and I have been rewarded for that many times over.  I got valuable experience in those years working for a hospital for not much money.  I learned things I never could have learned working for a service.  Now it's paying off.

Some people are just not cut out to be MTs.  Maybe that's the case with some of you who are complaining.

you with a foot pedal?  Ask and see if they'll send you one.

One day I had to go to my local MQ office to have them look at my computer, and on my way out, they handed me a foot pedal for the "new upcoming platform."

Then when I received my computer rental in the mail a couple of months later, they sent me another foot pedal (same as the first one).  A back up?

And finally, when they trained me for the new platform a couple of months ago, the booklets, some new headphones, and a NEW PEDAL came in a nice box to me!

So anyway, as an owner of three foot pedals free from MQ, give 'em a try. 

You're responsible with your money. But if you're one to spend carelessly, you're going to wish you had a credit card if you need some major car repairs or something of that nature.

So I suppose the real "need" is simply having available cash when you need it (not want it).

I would put 32-year-old male, but no hyphen if it's something like *Patient is 32 years old.*  (Same with 11-pound weight loss vs pt has lost 11 pounds.)  I can't quote the rule on this offhand, but whatever the rule is, I personally I think the hyphens make it easier to read/understand.

Despite the information provided, I know firsthand these can be modified with some engineering expertise and/or advice, which I would be happy to provide if you so desire......

When people first started coming to America, it was an undeveloped country.  Aside from the Indians, there were no other people living here.  What other language was there aside from what the Indians spoke?  The new Americans and the Indians learned to communicate with each other and both sides learned the other's language.  It only stands to reason, however, that English would be the dominant language, as they became the majority of those living in America. 

Also, when our founding fathers came to America, they and the others that then followed made America what it was and is today.  THEY are the ones who made America great by the blood, sweat and tears of their families.  They had every right to come over here as they were the ones doing all the work!!!!!  They did that work to take care of the future generations of Americans. 

But now our "powers that be" in the government do not make decisions based on AMERICAN best interests, but for people from other countries.  To be politically correct, we have flooded our country with people that want to prosper from OUR WORK.  They do not come over here and better America in any way.  They better their own little circle of family and actually make life harder for the people who belong here in the first place. 

That is the difference between immigrants then and now.  The more we let them in now, the more jobs we lose, the higher our bills become, the more terrorism we face.  When do WE benefit???????  It has nothing to do with prejudice either.  Who cares what they look like, where they are from?  It doesnt matter.  What matters is what they expect, what handouts they want, the bending of the rules for them while we get no break.

If you are Native American, then I would think that  you would be sick and tired of having all you work for taken away from you.  I know that I am.

they have a mechanism in place to allow you multiple installs. This only gives you 3.

If you want to make more money, then become the business owner, take the risks and then you'll have the additional income. You'll never get rich working for someone else. Complaining and badmouthing management and other business owners never translates into more $$ in the check--sometimes people complain themselves right out of a job.

I know this board is an "open forum" for all topics. It's just unfortunate that so much of the talk is about how terrible management/business owners are. There are lots of good MTSOs out there!

We are not an MTSO, we are employees of the facility working out of our homes.  I will keep track of the e-mails though as you have suggested. 

I do believe though that it is more or less passing the buck.  That way if it was supposed to be in there and it wasn't the doc has someone else to blame.  Thanks everyone.

eScription and ExText/ExSpeech.  I think Dictaphone administers both, but I think their ExText/ExSpeech platform is horrible.  ExText locked up at least twice a night (requiring a reboot) before I went to ExSpeech.  Now that I am in ExSpeech, the footpedal freezes (requiring a reboot), and the ExSpeech platform takes a week-long holiday every month or so, so if you are a VR editor, you still have to try to make Expanders and learn the traditional authors for that little bit of downtime.

Is the eScription platform any better?  My company has both, but I do not want to go through the trouble of learning a new platform and new accounts for the same crap I am already experiencing.

Sorry if I seem rude, it is just 3 weeks before Christmas, and I do not need the hassle of finally having work and the #@%$ platform does not work properly.

being realistic and pessimistic, tactful and rude.  I personally prefer to offer an optimistic viewpoint and hope that she takes the advice and builds a great business. We need more good MTSOs.
