Could you tell me what the active inflammatory lymph nodes mean?
I had a CT abdomen and pelvis last year because I was having pain from Crohn's disease. I have swollen lymph nodes then. I had no other symptoms as in no other lymph nodes that were enlarged, etc. So they did a followup CT a year later, which happened to have been this week. I haven't gotten the results yet. I'm wondering what your active inflammatory lymph nodes mean? Is it normal for some to be enlarged consistently?
Those who make remarks about SM
meaningless initials behind someone's name are merely too afraid to take the exam because they think there is a big chance they'll fail.
If you are confident in your skills, have reviewed the review guide and CD and have studied other material, you will pass. It's that simple.
The ones who attack the CMT credential are the people who are iffy on many of the most basic skills in medical transcription and, most importantly, HAVE NOT KEPT UP WITH THE CHANGES in transcription over the years, have no idea what current standards are, rarely get QA scores and don't care-they just want to churn out inferior work and complain.
Your remarks are about as clear as mud. MT from CA nm

Constructive remarks in message
I have a couple of constructive things to say. First take it to a blog where you can whine to someone who cares. Where you can all wallow in your self-pity while your bills add up and your kids starve and nothing changes the situation. Next, get another job. Stay at MQ if you must, but get another job, be it MT or whatever, that will pay your bills while you whine. Third, get some ambition and help yourselves. Whining to each other will accomplish nothing. Why would I be MQ management when I am offering suggestions to help your plight. I am sure MQ management is very happy with the way things are. They have you whiners that are still there for them to scrape their feet on and not doing a thing about your situation.
Instead of making snippy remarks
offer help...As I see the posts above have done. I never said I was perfect. I am in the process of researching this stuff in the meantime I am trying to get a database of people trying to help and fight with me...When it is done it will be done right..I need help NOT DUMB REMARKS...I can take criticism but not condescending BS...To those on the above posts thank you you made some good points..
'still get over it' remark was unnecessary. Please refrain from crass remarks.

He sounded
like the 'serial killer' type. pretty scary.
Ok, thanks. I think it might be new AAMT changes. That's what it sounded like to me.
I'm going to post another ? at the top of the page. Can't believe how quickly this moved down! Thanks again!
Since you had a bad ESL did you blank or put what it sounded like?

Sounded fishy to me
They are both identical, polite and too exact and to me sounded like it was someone attempting to appear to be American. Maybe I am a skeptic but that is my gut feeling. 
That sounded all normal to me. And SM
remember that the day after Christmas there won't be much work anywhere.
sounded gross at first to me, but
This doesn't sound very appetizing to me, but I do love the McDonald's McGriddles. It's like having the bacon or sausage between your pancakes. So very good!
I know it sounded hypocritical
But, it is like I traded 1 problem for another. I did feel like I was being jilted. They never gave raises, they never delivered what was promised, they played favorites, but the money was better than what I am making now. I had to dip out of my retirement account to pay off some bills. I just couldn't make the monthly payments anymore. I am still not able to get health insurance. I just cannot afford it. Sometimes, I wonder if I should not have taken the heat and stayed. I talked to my ex supe today and it almost made me ill, so I won't go back. I did not even ask.
sounded like you were dripping with sarcasm nm
But that said. 
Used to transcribe a doc who sounded startled,
as if I caught him off-guard, and every time I would get his dictation, he made me laugh..."oh?! Hi!"
a bark?? I thought it sounded like a cat!!
xx
First of all, you sounded condescending, and secondly YOU WERE YELLING!
And then you accused the other poster of copping an attitude? Maybe you need to take a course, posting etiquette 101. lol
OK, just sounded a lot like my experience with a company there. nm

Would help me tons if all dictators sounded like
Patrick Stewart. Ah, if only someone could make it so! (she grins)
I just heard it! Sounded like a bark to me, but could have been a "woo".
Too funny!
Not to flame but every day there's posting after posting about how awful MQ is
Why does anyone still work there?
I don't get it.
Your response sounded angry, defensive and judgmental
you gave for "walking away from the rat race." I don't buy it. I've had tough times in my life too, probably as tough as yours. It's your choice. You can either work harder and refuse to accept crap for yourself or you can get angry and bitter, which is what you've apparently done. If you're talking about turning in soda bottles for deposits, people are naturally going to deduct from that that you are or have been poor. You said it, I didn't. So if you choose to "give up," that's up to you. I chose to make something of myself nomatter what or how long it took. Read Plato's "The Republic." It's the difference between Gold, Silver and Bronze.
They sounded awful and were all moving in slow motion.

I think I'm pretty bright and pretty good, too, but
I am not a CMT. I am a medical transcriptionist who enjoys her job very much (most days). I have chosen not to pursue certification simply because I cannot afford to do so. I believe the certification is a nice thing to have, but I don't believe it is necessary for employment or for excellence in my job. If you can afford it, go for it. If you can't, don't feel too bad. You can still take pride in and do a very good job without it. 
Brings back memories! I had a computer fan that sounded like a mini helicopter! Kept
calling my company and having them "listen". They weren't concerned. It did actually blow up one day - a little mini "poof" of fire, 2 seconds of light smelly smoke, and she was dead!! A goner! Never heard it before, never heard it after, but one did make noise and it died a month later!
HAHAH, bet my question sounded dumb! For some reason I was picturing tuna salad and couldnt figure
I KEEP POSTING ON HERE
What MQ is really doing and how they are crookedly counting lines, but someone keeps deleting my post.
Done! Thanx for posting this!! (nm)
.
I am not the only one posting here.
Others see it too because they are responding as well. I don't think that you are Zipper in the least. If you would notice the posts from Zipper, Frankie Boy and No whining the wording is almost exactly the same in their posts and Barney is defending them. If you ever saw the posts from Frankie Boy and Zipper, they were extremely offensive. No one in their right mind would think they are funny or want them back on the board.
thanks to all for posting
your post touched me most because i about your same age (52) and now have a 3 yr old to ride. I tried to send to your e/m but it wouldn't send (said invalid e/mail)... My husband told me (ex-racerider) to ride in the corral til we got used to each other -- i thought, 2 hours in a corral? -- i've always just rode out in the open...but now i find that i've spent these last 3 wk exclusively in the corral except for 2 outings when a friend could go with me. I feel like all my molecules have started to respond to the movement under me again (pretty rusty), but was totally upset by those feelings of *&#%# ?? Hate to call it fear, because i have felt true fear before and this was different. But it was totally new to me and i didn't like it. Yesterday was better. I always had so much confidence before and its making me doubt myself to have had these fleeting feelings that day. This is probably about the best colt to have if i'm starting with a young horse (which i also didn't plan on doing, another story); he's been well-started and basically laid back and level headed...again, thanks for your post (and to all). jml
Thanks for posting this...
Some of my stuff has been acting weird, too. Just curious...have you tried uninstalling the Update w/ Service Pack? Long story short, my DBF is in IT, said to uninstall the update, but when I tried it said "this update cannot be uninstalled." Oh great!!! Guess I should have known to have him install a Service Pack manually. They can screw things up big-time sometimes if they're not done right.
Anyway, ditto on the heads up folks.
Thanks for posting that ...
I'm a real sucker for cute animal stuff ... now I want a squirrel LOL

blah blah
How sad. Thanks for posting this

I am sorry about posting this here, but
I need help asap. I asked on the tech board about a couple of things: 1. Since I installed VWPlayer on my PC, it has been running a lot slower and my screen has been freezing causing me to lose jobs. Also, everywhere I look for directions on backing up autocorrect, it says something about look in C:ProgramFilesMicrosoftOffice and then it says office10, but my only option is to look in Office and when I do, it does not say macros. I have MS Word 2000 if that helps. Also, I just recently added some memory (going from 128 to 384 after addng 256) Are there any techies around? Thanks for all your help!!
Thanks for posting...
hat is what I make now as an MT, of course, which is par.
do they have a different name/classification/description now for that job duty?
the AAMT is always boasting how they are going to help transition MTs into the technology, but have yet to offer ANYthing more, as to how, when, for whom, etc.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that this does not mean a cut in pay...
appreciate the input...
posting sm
Post anytime. We all make mistakes and we all have been there. I posted something upset and I've been in the business for years. I got some smart mouthed answers and I received help that discounted that, so it evened out. Posting is good for you, you are as sick as your secrets and I am not going to judge anyone who posts upset. That's a good thing, get it off your chest. Don't run away. Stay and we'll support you IMHO. Good luck to you, sounds like you're having a tough time. Been there, done that, I showed up 2 hours late for a TAT in my black dress and got a nasty remark. I buried my Dad at 9:00 and went at 11:00 am to return my work. I said, "I just buried my Dad this morning." Didn't make a darned bit of difference. You get no sympathy from TAT excuses, believe me, one doc told me he didn't care who died, he just wanted his work. Stay, please.
She was posting under a different name

so, honestly, I'm new, what is THIS board for?
I think some of those are posting, above.
Thanks for posting
I imagine those shows do over dramatize everything. But I do hope it really did give your husband an overall appreciation for what you do. I work part-time, I couldn't even imagine working full-time and doing all of my mom/wife/housekeeper duties.
Yes, thanks for posting...SM
You can't always believe what you see on TV. All of that is edited to make for better ratings. It seemed like you both gained a little something from the experience though, so that is a plus.
If you don't mind me asking, what made you both decide you wanted to go on the show?
you are the one who is posting under different--sm
names, you little troll you. why don't you just stay off this board, Kikki, if you just hate everything, everybody, and your own life so much. you are pathetic. You had better find yourself some help. We all know who you are. The only one you are fooling is yourself. You are truly the devils spawn...and maybe you had better look that up to know what it means. go away!
where did my posting go?
I just posted something less than an hour ago about input on companies. Now it is not here?
Why don't you try posting it
on the job seeker's board that you need overflow/vacation help? You may find some candidates that are willing to help. If it needs to be local then state that the candidate would need to live in that area. Just a suggestion. Good luck. Some transcriptionists like to help out and to try something different. It is also a great way to network and meet new people. 
thank you for posting this
I saw a similar ad, maybe the same one as you, and I too wondered how much could be done in an hour. It sounded like it could be fascinating but I too was apprehensive about how complicated it would be and what the hourly pay would amount to.
I used to do this kind of thing back in the 80s and charged at a minimum $25 an hour based on the time it took me to transcribe. I got plenty of work, but it was often a headache trying to follow along and keep track of who was saying what, etc. If it was really difficult, I'd contact them after an hour or so into it and tell them it was going to be pretty expensive and give them the option of taking it elsewhere. They usually told me to keep going and they'd pay whatever it cost and then tell their friends so I'd keep getting more and more of it. Sometimes it seemed like no amount of money was worth the hassle of it!!
thank you for posting that....
a lot of us who work for -you know who- are really vulnerable right now because we are looking for an out. If it sounds to good to be true it usually is.
Try posting this on
the company board. I have also read a lot of negative things about them, actually just after I turned down an offer by them for another job. Sounds like I might have made the right decision but again, post on the company board and I'm sure you'll get feedback there.
Wow, with so many posting here
I think making over 40 thousand a year is a good living, for this job. I don't know why so many say they can't pay their bills or this profession pays less than minimum wage. Last I heard, minimum wage is way less than 50 thousand a year, and also being able to stay home. That, to me, is a good living wage. I don't make 50 thousand, but I would like to and am going to try.
LOL! Thanks for posting this.
Re-posting
Just re-posting about speakers, as I did not get any responses: Note: I have the couple speaker brands that were originally mentioned written down.
I would like to get away from headphones too.
Where do I find those speakers mentioned (or other good ones I can use)?
Right now I am plugging my headphones into $30 speakers I got at Best Buy. They sound crappy without my headphones.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
