 Just a quick vent - for the last 45 minutes I have mostly been listening to the sound of her breathing with an occasional "continuing dittation" thrown in here and there followed by more breathing  . I even heard someone in the background say "You can push 1 to put it on pause" which she does for a split millisecond and then continues back with her breathing/"continuing dittation" pattern. Not having a good day today.  Beam me up Scotty, Please !

my shortand is driving me nuts
It's running so slowly behind what I am typing that I am really messing up and have not even added that many items to it yet. I need it for a job I have that you cannot use autocorrect, which I love, but have to use shorthand. Is there something I can adjust so it does not lag so far behind
It would be interstate driving, he and I driving as partners so we can
drive hard. The company we are talking with will give us the sleeper truck. I am envisioning MT while he is driving. Obviously, not full-time, though. I just hate to lose my grip with the contract I have - gravy work.
How would I get the internet access? Satelite will be available across country? Can't put any permanent receivers on the truck.
I remind you, this is not MY midlife crisis. I'm trying to work things out to accommodate him.
This may seem nuts, but....
My kids just left for school, one is a senior in high school and one is starting full-day first grade. My husband left for work and I am so sad and loney and its only 8:29 a.m. This is the first time I have been alone for more than an hour or 2 in years. I guess I should work unfettered, which will be weird. Even the dog is wondering where everyone is???
That is who said it. They are definitely nuts!LOL!
nm
Also not nuts about it sm
slow, not user friendly.
Going nuts
I just saw my original post. I am not going crazy just tired with learning all this stuff regarding digital and trying to land this account. Please forgive me!!
ASR is NUTS - LOL!
The patient recently returned back to her vulvar area, where she and her husband live with their 3 children and 2 dogs.
Must be kinda crowded in there....
OH COME ON NOW THIS IS GETTING NUTS!!!
Am I nuts
for hoping to get 1400 lines per day?
I don't think they are nuts, per se, but rather (sm)
so high all the time, dont know any difference.
btw: the inventor of LSD expired yesterday at age 102. he musta been doing something right. lmao
I know. It is nuts. It's even
more nuts to read MTs on here defending poor little Indian MTs trying to steal our jobs. Maybe they'll see things differently when they get pink-slipped.
yikes
Stouffer's frozen chicken enchiladas and a pint of Ben and Jerry's New York Fudge Chunk!
Yikes! I am going to the doc now! Thanks all! nm

Yikes
I, and I know I am one of very few, actuall enjoy MQ, and like reading all the topics (probable because I work for them). Maybe there should be a board for MQers only??
Yikes!!!
yikes
I have such claustrophobia that it gives me a fright just looking at it!!!
Yikes, but I'm okay.
That really was rotten. I feel better. Throat actually was closing off this time. Wow, I guess I've learned my lesson there. Gotta be more careful. My Daddy carries an Epi-Pen. I guess it runs in the family. This reaction was far worse than the last one. I did take a Benadryl, thanks for asking. I haven't had a chance to sleep it off, but MUST KEEP TYPING...I will be sending those puppies back. Take care everybody!
yikes
As an SE, the company should have been taking out taxes for you and you would have to fill out a Schedule C. Delay the visit and talk to a CPA, not a tax preparer and take 2002, 2003 and 2004 to see if they need amending.
Yikes!
The $250 million lean medical transcription (MT) industry in India is racing ahead to grab a major slice of the global $12 billion pie.
Industry experts told Business Standard that as the industry is maturing, players are adopting productivity enhancing tools, stringent quality control measures and training programmes and top this with highly improved communication facilities.
With an acute shortage of required skill sets in the US, the industry is set to become a top foreign exchange earner in the coming years.
The industry, which collapsed due to the low quality of the MT business adhering to a view that the only skill required by employees in MT was to listen and type, has in the last two-three years witnessed a comeback with a strong consolidation.
As per a Nasscom report, MT will become the fourth largest foreign exchange earner in the next five years.
Shedding light over the industry's potential, Rajiv Shetye, vice-president (Indian operations), Spryance India says, "The Healthcare BPO is a $200 billion business worldwide and medical transcription alone is worth more than $12 billion. The $110 million Indian MT industry will grow to become a $ 5-6 billion one in the next three years."
With six to seven strong contenders and 200 serious players in all, the employment potential of the industry is huge.
"The MT service in India has generated over 20,000 jobs and will add atleast 25 per cent more jobs per year," said Suresh Nair, CEO and Managing Director, Spheris India and President, Indian Medical Transcription Industry Association (IMTIA).
As for Spheris, he said, "the company is growing at 50 per cent per annum and expects to increase its employee strength from 2,300 currently to 3,000 in the coming year."
Spryance has also deployed over 1200 MTs including home-based medical transcriptionists and editors. "In five years time we plan to ramp up our employee base to almost 10,000," says Shetye.
Noting that the Indian industry has come a long way from just employing English speaking graduates to employing doctors and students of medical science, Pankaj Bendigiri, an MBBS by qualification and manager of Spryance's Quality Assurance (QA) centre in Pune says, "MT as a profession is attracting doctors as it offers them lucrative remunerations and career options besides keeping them updated with the latest developments taking place in the field."
Spryance has 20 doctors in its 100 people team in Pune and has started a six month QA course for doctors.
"Currently the second batch of 13 doctors is undergoing training," said Bendigiri, adding that in the first batch they had trained seven doctors mostly from the disciplines of Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) and Bachelor of Homeopathy Medicine and Surgery (BHMS).
With highly improved communication facilities, "The trend of home-based Medical Transcriptionists (HMT) is also on the rise," says Nair, who has 10 per cent of his 2,300 people team working from home and credits the industry average to be higher at 25 per cent with few companies recruiting over 90 per cent HMTs.
yikes!!
I thought she was aging gracefully, now she looks like -------- The Joker...you are absolutely right.....
Yikes!
How you get the paint off depends on the type of paint it was. Best bet is to get the can and determine whether it was oil based or acrylic and then contact the paint department of a paint store for assistance.
yikes!!

Yikes.
They need to address the quality issue with each MT, not just a general blanket thing for everyone.
YIKES
This does not sound good for current employees of your ex-company.. good luck.. you gonna report the company to anybody?
YIKES is right! lol
yeah, its not good. I know several people are leaving, but they all know what happened to me and are taking steps to avoid it happening to them. I'm not going to report them to anyone, because I got paid finally, so not much I can do. i dont want to cause anyone any problems.. but I was getting ready to talk to a lawyer real soon if I hadn't been paid. Just wish I could get back the 266.00 in bounce fees....plus all the fees it cost me every time my DD was late.
Yikes-
I don't think I would continue to do work for them if I were you.
Isn't it the law that you have to paid within a certain time frame? Or is that just when they are letting you go?
Yikes!
"She says we earned an average of $25,408 in 2006 according to the Department of Labor Statistics."
How can we deserve this? Well, I'd be curious to get a copy. I went to the web site and I saw a bunch of stats from 2004, and then some quotes from MTs and they basically ranged the gamut from "electronic sweat shop" to "I love my job!"
Diane
Yikes.
Forward that to the hospital it's from.
Yikes..
20-25K a year! That is not much. But, I printed the 2008 Salary Table for GS, which states that a GS-5, Step-1 starts at 26K. And as you know, CS employees get annual raise increases. I know it is SO hard to get hired as a Federal employee, especially since I have no military service, nor spouse. I did work as a civil servant for DOD in the 1980's tho.
yikes
I just read my post above and it's a mess!!! Sorry for the errors - I just got done doing aerobics and my hands didn't want to type!!!
YIKES!!
I realize that many doc feel this way, but it's really scary when one comes right out and verbally admits to it... I agree that it's time to find another cardiologist.
yikes
Gosh. It just shouldn't be this hard should it. I just don't get it. Thanks for the empathy tho :)
It's like when you are driving.
You are so used to it that it's just automatic.
Thank you ALL so much!! This has been driving me...
She is NOT nuts, she has a business to run.

What drives me nuts is
EVOO. I do not like that at all.
She says EVOO then says extra virgin olive oil????
Are nuts okay on induction???????nm
nm
They're nuts!!... you were right...sm
only way it would be "aggressively" is if he said, "pursue treatment more aggressively."
What? Are you nuts? I never tried to make
Perhaps I am a little more observant than most, but I thought that I was friendly enough.
Seems as though someone else is feeling hostile today though. Get up on the wrong side of the bed, perhaps? LOL :)
I think if it is THAT important to you, then you should read the thread again and you may be able to see who tried to make someone feel *badly* here.
I do hope you feel better soon.
P.S. I am unable to use the bad S word that you used in your post. MTStars says it is a bad word and prompts me to edit my post.
nuts? Are you suggesting we need have

THIS DRIVES ME NUTS
why are we so concerned with sending work overseas??
This nation is so concerned with fixing problems everywhere else in the world and not focusing on our own!
Why do we constantly send work, money, military, etc etc etc overseas when we have homeless, starving, children (and adults!) here in the USA? We have students who can't go to college because they can't afford it and the federal government won't help because they are not a minority! We have people who can't get jobs for the same reason!
How about this?! Why don't we stop looking at race, background, and gender, and start looking at qualifications? Why don't we stop judging what people need based on color?
But i'm getting off track...
This country has a serious issue, and it starts with companies like AHDI. Rather than lobby for "a standard" they need to lobby for our work staying right here. When there is such an over abundance of work here that no one goes hungry and everyone has a roof over there head, then we can send it over there. I know there is such a romanticism about helping foreign areas. We see it everywhere. Celebrities adopting foreign children, missionaries wanting to go to China but not bothering to minister to people in their own back yard. Yes, we need to help, but we need to take care of our own also!
There is something wrong when a basketball player makes millions and a teacher barely can get by on his or her salary. What kind of country have we become? We place more value on entertainment then on morals and education.
When will it stop? We are going to dig ourselves in to such a hole and we are going to pull down all of our greed, immorality, conceitedness and every other vile thing we have become down on our heads!
I'm sorry I just don't understand what is so great about our country anymore. It seems we've got it pretty twisted. It won't be long before we start to reap what we sow. And I promise you, in the healthcare world, if all of our transcription goes overseas, and the documentation process becomes sub par, next thing you know the lawsuits will quadruple, which will raise the cost of healthcare, which will mean absolutely no healthcare for some, and so on and so on.
But hey, all in pursuit of the almighty dollar, right???
Thank you, I was going nuts, that helps.
nm
I will never complain about $2.12 again! Yikes!
..
YIKES! I better rethink this.
I've read a bit about that on ebay that they will reimburse you for any down payment lost or if the car never arrives or is not in the condition represented in the auction, so I thought it might be a good deal. I'm just beginning my search. Thanks for responding!
Yikes! I almost feel sorry for him.

Yikes, did anyone get to see Meatloaf on AI?
What the heck happened there? Was that a song of his? He was awful. Poor Kat...she just isn't getting a break, is she? 
Yikes, should be Plan. nm

Some *states*. YIKES!

Must be nice! 58 and only for driving? sm
I've been wearing regular glasses for nearsightedness since 3rd grade. Of course vanity put me into contacts many years ago and suddenly, about 3 years ago, I began wishing for longer arms when trying to read something like the side of a Childrens' Tylenol bottle while I was wearing contacts. I told the eye doctor they were making the print smaller and smaller.
It went downhill so fast from there that I either have to wear my regular glasses to see the computer screen or put on the magnifying dollar store glasses over my contacts. Yes I know, time for bifocals, but who can afford them? 
Truck driving
My friend and her husband drove as a "team" before he passed away. She said it isn't as easy as it looks-- especially if you are a woman. She said she had to back the trailers into the loading docks and all the "macho men" would just stand there and stare at her-- apparently they are too "manly" to have their jobs taken by women. Anyway, she said the driving part was fun, but the company monitors you every second via some kind of tracking device and it isn't like I thought-- that you could stop in various parts of the country, etc. There is a lot of technical stuff you have to know about the truck, maintenance, etc., as well. She said she wouldn't do it again.
Dictating and driving
Can you hear me now?? I have a physician who dictates while he drives,and by the way, his dictation goes in and out so unable to get really what he is saying.
