I am actually considering sending a copy to the "guy" who hired me.
I work for several offices under the umbrella of a larger physicians group. It is that group that I send my bill to and they cut my check.

In the past, it was this "guy" who made the decision for all offices to go digital at my suggestion. We have also had discussions about HIPAA and data mining when he was considering outsourcing overseas for a lower price. After making several points with him about the risks involved in choosing that route, he decided to stick with me. I think he may have the authority to rectify this as apparently the OM is not being respected by this doc, either.

I wish you were in Iowa!
Take a deep breath. Unless you've got a USB monitor, which are really not at all common, the place you plug in your monitor should have nothing to do with where you plug in your foot pedal. You are likely looking at a bunch of "pin" connectors and assuming that they all plug into the same place. They don't. Usually, even with Dells, they're kinda marked as to what they're for. There should be a a sort of square where the monitor plugs in and it's shaped like a rhombus. I'm guessing that you've got a game-port foot pedal, and you'll need an adapter so that you can plug that into a USB port.

1.99 in SE Iowa today...I'm happy! (nm)

For Iowa their 12 cpl is good. IHP usually offers...
11 cpl to contractors. If you're from Iowa IHP should be one you recognize, their statewide.

The local service in Waterloo, pays their MTs 6 cpl, ridiculous. Hospitals paying hourly are still around $9 hourly.

It's the midwest, for those others who don't know but cost of living is nothing near other areas of the country.

Personally, I work for a national on the east coast and make 10 cpl employee status, far better than anything I've seen in my home state.
Well, you must live in Po-Dunk, Iowa, and not
you can survive on less. Having one's own account is NOT the same as being a 100% full-time employee, which is what I am.

You head-up-your-backside, horn-tootin' heifers who think you invented this profession, and are so high'n'mighty that you feel fit to tell everyone else how to live their lives and whether or not to stay in MT make me laugh. Do you know what 'faster & better' is gunna add up to in the not-so-distant future? Less pay per line, NOT more money.

Dream on, Bossy.

I have finished my MT course and I am waiting for my results, hopefully this week. I live near Glens Falls, New York, and was wondering if there was anyone here who was from my area. I would love to hear from anyone in the vicinity. Elsie
My New York relatives used to rag on me:

and say when I visited, "She's from Massatoothetts where they thay 'Pahk the cah in Havaad Yaad.' "   (Note: My relatives have no teeth, hence the lisp.)


Cue the banjo's.


anyone from York, PA area? sm
i am looking for info on an OB/GYN named, Rosean Freundel.  i can't find her on any of the MD websites.  anyone have any contact info on her?  she delivered my SIL's baby and she needs to request her records.  she delivered at York Hospital about 2 years ago.
I LIVE IN NEW YORK, BUT...SM

right now work as a ful-time employee status.  Do I understand your post to mean that I, as a New York resident, cannot work as IC if I chose to?  Thx.


yer welcome. with the advent of computers, it's MUCH easier here in Iowa to get a coding job at
The fields have changed around, kinda. Stay home and CODE, not type.

Stephanie from PA: I've been to York sm
to the H-D assembly plant a few years ago.  Loved the area there and the proud people working for H-D.  So sad to see the demise of the jobs in the PA steel mills and the loss of jobs in the American auto industry to foreign manufacturers.  Very sad, indeed.  I come from a manufacturing area, now virtually ghost towns with just service jobs left.

Send this or your own letter.  Let us know if anyone gets a response.
No way, in New York or CA you can't live on $11.50 an hour.
I understand your message and get what you are saying; however, it is literally impossible to live on $11.50 an hour in those two states, and probably a few others. You can't even get a 1 bedroom studio apartment for less than $1500 a month, not including utilities, then food, clothing, and other bills. Sorry, can't do it.


Hi Ella! I'm from New York City

I grew up in NYC..   multicultural, diverse,  many different neighborhoods. I love NYC  . Rude New Yorkers are a stereotype.   All kinds of people here.  Visit it sometime.


Love your posts, though... ths is an MT board - active, retired, former, and anyone who's thinking about becoming one.


Does anyone know anything about the Greenwood Lake area of New York?

Did you see where Andy from Iowa survived the first elimination round on that cooking show!

It's kinda like Survivor in that people get voted off...  I think it's called America's Next Great Cooking Show Host or something.   and the guy from Iowa (reminds me of Dudley Do-Right) stayed in there!   WOOHOO!


I'm in upstate New York, haven't had a problem. Mine is hvc. Where are you?

That's not weird
nm
You may think I'm weird. . .
But I find MT very relaxing. I used to work as a human resources manager and had a phone to my ear all day and people in my office complaining about their supervisors, complaining about their employees, and just plain complaining. My job had TONS of variety - like when one of the companies I worked for had a big layoff and I had a suicidal employee in my office telling me she was going to kill herself because she was being laid off. Frankly, you could pay me all the money in the world and I wouldn't go back to that. I think MTs great - more money would be nice, but other things are important, too.
another weird one..

I didn't transcribe this one, but a doc I worked for was telling us about this man in the ER with a gerbil (s/p?).... you know the little furry animal...stuck in his rectum.  Apparently the gerbil was put in his rectum using a paper towel cardboard tube-thingy and got stuck behind a gas bubble in his intestines!!!!


I don't know what ever happened to that man, but I hope he went for some serious counseling after that...


This is weird...
There are no menu keys at all, no view. I clicked on the small window and it made the page smaller. Now I have my menu keys, my tool bar, everything. When I enlarge the page back, then I lose everything again. If I keep it small, everything is okay.
Something that happens weird (sm)

When I'm typing along with my Instant Text along the bottom I'll occasionally (too much for my tastes) lose letters, especially when I type a period...I'll lose the last 2 or 3 characters of the previous word.  It's really bizarre.  I have no other problems with IT when typing in Word all by itself or any other program, so I assume it's just a problem when I'm using the ExText with IT.


I like going back into the old documents.  It takes a bit sometimes to load different things but it's good overall.


So weird

Its so weird, this happens to me too..


I wonder why though?


That's her and she is really weird...
So does this mean that now we have to be leery of posting on here as well in order to avoid even more scam artists than usual?
weird
The thing for me is this sounds like you were working on site in the office with all this drama. How can you even see how much work someone else is doing if you are a virtual worker? And everything else sounds like the hospital politics of working in the hospital, strange that it could go on virtually.
how weird am I?

I won't give out my phone number, but yet I invited an internet friend of mine from Australia to come and stay with me for a couple of weeks while she was in the states. 


I'm happy to report that her visit was absolutely wonderful and she did not turn out to be a serial killer, as my daughter had portended :)


I must be weird
but I have always typed B with my left hand (6 with right).

Weird question for you MTs
Do you ever notice when you have your head phons on that sometimes your ears itch inside really bad, like you can feel water moving inside?  REALLY!
