I saw Luther Vandross mention doing that a few years ago on Oprah. He must've ignited the craze!n

never heard of this before and I have had computers for 20 years...
course, I get a new one about every 3 years - maybe I lucked out and traded up just before the clock died (but not various and sundry other parts!)
I heard this on the news a couple of years ago, or maybe it was
Paul Harvey. Graduates of the Naval Academy received diplomas with "Navel" Academy on them and they all had to be reprinted. You would think with something like that they would have someone proof and reproof before it went to final printing, and then proof again after printing.
Along with spelling errors that drive me nuts, bad grammar makes me cringe. When I hear someone say "I seen" it is like fingernails on the blackboard.
I heard that MQ has special chapstick and it can be preserved for 20 years in freezer. At the end o
those who still have MQ will be considered for replacement chapsticks in lieu of an increase in your 4 cent line count pay to 4.000001.
When I first heard Barbra many, many years ago, I felt no one could match or exceed
her vocal range and clarity, until I was introduced to Celine performing at the Olympics. I had no idea at that time who she was, had never heard of her, but was instantly and totally mesmerized by her voice, power & range. At that moment my feeling that Barbra was the best dissipated, and I have become a dedicated fan of Celine's. I just feel that on top of her range & pitch, her emotions are felt through each of her songs and is unsurpassed.
Haven't heard in years. Supposedly making it harder to get money

I think we should go on Oprah!
What a great idea! I'm sure she also has healthcare experience. I'm going to go on the website and see how to communicate with the show. LATER.....
Just saw Oprah today. Dr. Oz said
no sugar, no enriched flour, no hydrogenated anything, no saturated fats, and I forgot the other thing. Also walk 30 minutes every day, even if the world is coming to an end, you need to walk 30 minutes a day. If you go to Oprah's website there may be better info there.
I wonder if Oprah would show this?
Nobody gets the country outraged like she does!
what will India do now? on Oprah
just happened to catch a small piece - Indian women are surrogate mothers for women in US who cannot/will not get pregnant - 6000.00 going rate.
I am scared at the simple thought that this record goes straight from the doc (whom we all know can say/type wrong thing, i.e. right versus left) and no one to catch errors - straight to record.
Or Oprah! That would spread everywhere!
:)
Oprah show Monday-have you let yourself go?? sm
I must admit this is me ever since I started working at home 6 years ago. Too easy to do. 6 months since a decent haircut, too many kids to look after and too much work to get done. I thought others might appreciate thesubject matter. Happy watching.
oprah and david letterman
From what I could see on the Today Show this a.m. they showed Oprah and David and they did kiss and make up and everything is fine with them. David Letterman even walked Oprah to across the street where she was appearing for something at the end of her appearance on the Letterman Show, both smiling away at the cameras
I really do not like Oprah or her show! Who cares? !

Nor I! He sure stepped in poop when he met Oprah!...nm

Lady on Oprah today who was
set on fire by her ex-husband. It's an amazing story and brings tears to my eyes to hear her talk about how thankful she is to be alive and that beauty comes from within. We could all take a lesson from her.
Amazing!
Matthew McCaughnahey will be on Oprah
Just e-mailed the Oprah! show
I just finished posting a comment to the Oprah! Show. If/when (I'm an optimist!) I get a response, I'll be letting y'all know. Happy Wednesday! 
Healthcare - Today's Oprah
THURSDAY'S SHOW: Sick in America: It Can Happen to You
For the first time on TV, the director of Sicko, Michael Moore, and a respected insurance lobbyist face off in a healthcare showdown. Then, Lisa Ling puts some insurance companies on the line. And a discussion of the one question we all need to answer.
I don't need to watch Oprah to know the answer to that question
I e mailed the Oprah show about a year ago sm
I got an automated response and that was it. I have always loved Oprah, but she is into helping kids in other countries, not so into helping here.
I knew about the Killing Oprah On Her Couch thingy...
but never saw him get squirted! He simply was not happy with that man, wuz he? Ah, fame and fortune - it must B a drag!
Is everyone relieved Oprah & David Letterman have kissed & made up?
Last night's show wuz so touching...
I WASN'T GUESSING. I HEARD WHAT I HEARD VERY CLEARLY.
I don't even agree with what QA said, but they are QA. Question them, and your out the door.
58, AHP/self-taught, trained at hospital 5 years, now with 2 of my own accounts for 10 years, employ
Also worn out 2 keyboards in 4 years. I will never retire. DH will come home some day from work and I'll be slumped over my keyboard. I put in 14 hours a day 7 days a week.
Pack years = packs smoked per day x years of smoking - sm
25 pack-years = 25 years of 1 pack a day, or 12-1/2 years of 2 packs a day.
I don't think pack-years applies to someone who smokes only cigars. But I don't know for sure.
I worked for Cbay for 3 years. I was also part of their lay off back many years ago. sm
Even though I got stuck in a lay off era, I still love the company. They paid well then. The people were nice (exception of 1 person) and if I had the opportunity I would go back again. Fortunately (or unfortunately - depending on how u look at it), I have a great paying job right now, so I am not looking for a change. I do know that at one time, they asked management to accept late paychecks, but never sure of the reason why. My check was never late.
I know it used to be 5-10 years back, but the laws changed within the last 2 years. They can only g

6 years legal then switched to medical 17+ years ago. sm
I don't mind doing legal and will do it now from time to time, but be prepared to be totally bored out of your mind.
At least that's the way I feel. I love to transcribe, learned legal in college, went on to get my paralegal degree, etc., etc., but I did temp work when the kids were younger, which was about 90% medical and I would never go back to legal except for once in a while.
Booooooring.
Only 3 years away from reaching total years for retirement
but if I had to do this and raise a family, would feel exactly like you do. The pay is terrible compared to what I used to make. I work 32 hours a week, hope to be able to continue even after full retirement age. I have worked on VR now and unless places get to where they really do not care about how their reports look, think they will need MTs. I very seldom do a report and it is 100%, just cannot remember 1 like that and most take a lot more editing. Working now because want to, not have to anymore, thank goodness!!
I dumped my ex 20 years ago, but got lucky 13 years ago
It would take me all night and pages and pages to describe what a bad person my ex-husband was. After six years of putting up with his OCD, verbal abuse and alcohol, I left him the house, took the kids (5 and 1) and didn't look back. That was 20 years ago.
I wasn't looking to get married again, but I did. After 13 years I only complain when hubby doesn't see things my way. :)
My older kids, who were 5 and 1 when I left, are married and have kids of their own now. My husband gets the Father's Day cards. Their "real" father sits alone in the perfect little house I left behind and let him have and he drinks himself into oblivion every night because nobody is "perfect" enough, including his kids and his grandkids that he never sees.
Sad, but true. So glad I smartened up and got out of there when I did.
We have been supporting other countries for years and years now.
What is the big deal. Look at your clothes, cars, items in your house. You will see mostly China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan etc., etc. We have not supported our own people like we should have for years now!!!!
Only 2 in 13 years for me. First Edix for 8 and now Webmedx for nearly 5 years. nm

When I trained, back years and years ago
We did not have spell checking nor the internet (Google for instantaneous help). OMG, how did we do it? We used Correcting Selectrics with the lift-off tape to correct errors- you only had dictionaries, both English and medical, to look up things so yes we did have to learn to spell all those big longgggggggggg words.
MT: 24 years. Same company: 11 years same co. after buyout.

Grammar Question: 9 years' ago or 9 years ago? *sm*
 I have a terrible time trying to remember this rule! HELP!
Worked inhouse for years and years
Inhouse transcription from 1973 to approximately 1992 and we had no downtime for answering the phones and when the physicians came into the room (or others) needing some assistance, just part of the job. I did not feel bad about doing it then and I dont see why you would either. You don’t realize that probably you are making right now more than if you are outsourced, right? You have hourly salary plus incentive. Guess how many of us have that now? Probably inevitable about outsourcing so I would say just enjoy while you can. The pay our here now sinks further and further. I make, for instance, 4 cents a line for voice recognition and 8 for straight. Now, more complaining?
19 years old...married 26 years. nm

they've been doing this for years and years (nm)
IMHO
People have been saying that for years and years - SM
however, I am working fewer hours and making more money. I think maybe the answer here is working as an IC for a one-owner company. MTSO was an MT for many years and she knows the secret to making lots of $ is putting your MTs doing what they do best and leaving them alone.
I don't think it is the "national" part of services that hurts. I think the low wages can be gauged by the number of suits in the company. More suits = less $.
And why pay QA? Just hire people experienced/good enough to do the work correctly the first time.
I have been doing Radiology only the last two years after several years (sm)
of acute care. I love it and find it easier although not as interesting as acute care. I was told by those who hired me that a good medical Transcriptionist will be able to do Radiology even with no experience in it. There are some specialized terms but easy to learn. I would never go back to acute care unless there were very good dictators and good sound quality.
30 (!) years; OTJ (don't think there were schools 30 years ago) nm
:)
Years ago it was 7 years. Not certain as to status now.
10 years here, too, and making 8.4....same as i was 5 years ago. nm

Shame on me.. Am I the only one with 4+ in 2 years, but with my last one 2 years.
Lots of little "stints" in between, just trying to keep my head above water.
24 years MT, 7.5 years with the same hospital nm.

22 years, same company 10 years nm

32 years, longest was 28 years at same co. (nm)

28 years, 9 years at 1 hospital..sm
9 years at one hospital, 8 years with 2 services, then went out on my own (11 years ago) and got a bunch of surgeons and I moonlight on weekends for a national (9 years with national).
If I knew what I know today, with how the MT business has gone down $$-wise for us over 20+ years, if I had my druthers and could start over again, I would have stayed with CODING/BILLING instead of MT work (though I love MT work) as billing/coding is still lucrative in this country....
just my 3 cents 
32 years, 18 years at hospital...
7 at Medquist, 7 at Spheris. Starting at Transtech Medical tomorrow.
