you left out the possibility of information

being used for identity theft - Americans can understand this and might be a little more against the idea of their records being used for that. I have one doc who copies everything to his patient and so their home address is included along with everything else. Shudder!!!
We need to hope we can stop illegal entrance into the US - I'm looking at cutting lawns in my golden years instead of transcription!!

That's a possibility. sm
But the ones I was referring to in my first post were questions from people already hired and were posted on their company board. I couldn't believe how many that were asking the simplest questions that should have been learned in school or at least after a few months on a previous job. How do they get hired without experience? But maybe it's like you say, they lie on the interview and cheat on the employment test. Even on some of the other word boards there are a lot of questions about things that should already be known if hired.
I think there is also the possibility...
of a Rodney King riot that will make said riot look like a picnic. I pray so much I'm wrong.
Job Possibility
I have possible job opportunity as an MT working for a hospital, at-home, $15.64/hour, with incentive pay over 70 minutes of dictation, weighted, so $1.10 for each report after the 70 minutes. Does this make sense? I didn't want to sound like a dummy when talking with these folks. Would someone please explain? For hard dictation (YIKES ESLs!), it is 150 weighted. Is this a good deal or not? About how many minutes is 70? 
Job Possibility
This job is at Memorial Medical Center in Modesto, California. Thanks for the information. 
job possibility
-take it quick
Job Possibility
Thanks to everyone for the responses. This hospital has 2 openings (Memorial Medical Center, Modesto, CA). One is for a "lead MT," which, I'm sure, pays more. Good luck to ya. 
Just hit Alt+Shift+left arrow on line 1 and it will go to the left margin. Otherwise,
you need to use a numbered list style to do it every time. Each version is different, but you may already have a numbered list style in yours that stays at the left margin. Just assign a keyboard shortcut to that style.
This opens up the possibility of
identify theft. What if they do not keep the info in a secure location. Employees could get access to it. What if somebody hacked into their system. How secure are their files and system. I don't truse anybody.I would quit before I gave this information to anybody. You could very easily have credit cards opened in your name, etc.
That I don't know. Could be possibility. Never thought of that. nm

Extra work possibility
Just wanted to post something that might help those of you looking for work... while I realize this is a medical transcription board, with our work being outsourced more and more each day, we have to do what we have to do to earn a paycheck.
After talking with a police officer and hearing how many hours they spend doing written reports of calls/incidents, I mentioned that it was too bad they could not dictate their reports and have them transcribed. He really liked the idea and so did I as I thought more about it. I finally scheduled an appointment with the Chief of Police and made a proposal to him. I had to do some research -- average pay per hour of a police officer x hours per day spent writing reports, etc, -- but that was not too difficult to get.
To make a long story short -- he tried this with a couple of his officers on their lengthy and very detailed reports.
Because it allows more time for actually being a police officer instead of being tied up writing illegible reports by hand, they love the idea.
I submitted my bid, which was approved, and the contract was signed. There is never a dull moment with this!
Joint tenderness is another possibility.

another possibility is it got lost in the shuffle
With all the names for the bride to keep track of (half of them being all new to her) , its very possible that your name just got lost in the shuffle. I've seen it happen many times where a thank you card got lost, or an invitation was never sent simply due to an oversight. As a recent bride, I can say that I started writing my thanks-you's the moment we got back from our honeymoon and I was so nervous that I may have accidentally missed someone when writing 150+ thank you's, it happens sometimes. My cousin didn't get their thank you's sent out until nearly a year after their wedding, it took me a moment to figure out what they were thanking me for because it had been so long! lol
Anyway, moral of the story is, give it sometime. She may still be working on writing her thank you's. If you find out that other people have already received theirs, ask the bride's mother (who is your friend if I read your post correctly), it may have just gotten lost in the shuffle. I'm sure the bride would want to know that you did not receive your thank you card so that she could apologize & correct the oversight, I know if it were me, I would want to know if one of my guests did not receive theirs!
A possibility. You might want to try some of the SUM tapes on various specialties, you to sm
bone up/refresh on them. I have them, if you are interested.
A possibility would be ischemic bowel disease.
There is also the possibility that someone was standing in line for an elderly person, again
we don't know cause we are not there.
Depends on which fingers it is. Guyon's canal syndrome is another possibility.nm

Hospital where I worked cut raises from 12% possibility to 6% with excellent review. Which means

Thank you. I appreciate the information ...
sounds like a way to reward those whose production and quality are at the top.
Thanks.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
but, with a much better company and I smell management. Take that and smoke it.
Perhaps this information might help:
If you would post a clear statement of the change that is happening and what its expected results will be BEFORE you make such changes, then it wouldn't be viewed so suspiciously.
rec'd no such information
and my count has been 'below production' different times and my benefits didn't change. My supe told me way back when that only if a person "consistently" didn't make production would it affect their benefits.
Where did you get your information? nm.

information
i mentioned something to my supervisor a couple of weeks ago that I "heard" that MQ was offering extra on the line rates to new hires, which upset me, and of course, her response was you can't trust what you hear or see and I know that, but it seems like what i'm seeing on this website seems to be more reliable in some respects than what i get from MQ and like you said, that's really sad. I'm not signed up for IPay so i can't check to see if there's anything there -- guess i could check my bank to see if there's more there.
For your information,
I am not at all overweight. I would really like to know why someone who is as beautiful as you say you are is a transcriptionist?
Information (SM)
If you want to know why your posts are deleted, leave a valid e-mail address. I e-mail the poster why and a copy of their deleted post.
It is not because you have "MQ" in your moniker as a name. Otherwise, take this gripe over your posts being removed to e-mail or it will be deleted.
Don't know where you got your information-
Although a CMA is definitely not a PA, I do not know anywhere you get get what you need in 4-6 weeks. I took the CMA exam after years working in a physician's office, but the programs that I know about in this area are 1-2 years.
Any information on this anyone?
My husband came home from work hearing about something called EDTA (Ethylene~Diamine~Tetra-acetic~Acid). It is suppose to break down the minerals and heavy metals out of your body and make your risk of heart disease a lot lower. Does anyone have an information on this. He would like to take it if it true because of heart disease in his family, although I am not certain he should, as I always worry about the things they don't tell you about the stuff your taking.
Any information would be great.
Thanks!!
Thanks for the information!!!
Thanks to all for the information.
Thanks for the information.
Thanks so much for the information...sm
Final question - I checked out the website that you told me about and that explains it all. One final question - do you have connection problems with this and I guess one more question, and the true final question is the quality of the voice good on the file? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
I appreciate the information. nm

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the information
Thanks to all of you for the helpful information!
Thanks for that information
That is very interesting about the files not being there at all. May be I am not getting the files downloaded correctly. Thanks so much for your help!
Thanks so much for the information!!
:)
where does that information come from?
please give links. I found nothing to substantiate that on my search
Thanks, that is quite useful information, but
you do not continue to believe that air conditioning will kill mold . . . it will not, and nowhere in the document you linked to does it even suggest that. It does provide information about air conditioning lowering the relative humidity of a home, and also that it aids in drying out wet areas (because it lowers the relative humidity).
You are not only misinformed, but also are misinforming others by posting segments of the document that are not connected in any other way than being a part of the same document.
For anyone who is interested, and perhaps does not want to go to the link or read the full text, this is what it actually says.
PREVENTING MOLD GROWTH (begins on page 2)
Page 3, paragraphs 4 and 5
Increase the air flow in problem areas. Move furniture
a few inches away from outside walls so that air
flow will decrease the problem of condensation on
the walls.
If mold is growing in closets, keep closet doors
open to promote air flow. Closets should not be overfilled,as this will reduce air circulation in the closet. Louvered closet doors aid in ventilation. Circulating fans may help with air flow in problem areas.
STRATEGIES FOR PREVENTING OR
REMOVING MOLD GROWTH AFTER CONTAMINATION (begins on page 3)
Page 4, paragraph 3
For many hard surfaces, disinfecting with a solution
of one cup of bleach to one gallon of water is effective.
The area must be kept wet with the bleach for 10 to 15
minutes to kill the mold. If the surface is porous like
wood, the bleach solution may need to be reapplied to
keep the surface wet for the required time. If large areas
of a basement need to be disinfected, a garden sprayer
can be used to apply the bleach solution to the walls. If the walls have been contaminated with sewage, increase the proportion of bleach to water.
MT Information
Hello, I am looking to start working as an MT in order to enable me to homeschool. Can you please share any tips, job openings etc?? I would really appreciate it. I am newly relocated to Lawrenceville GA from NJ. Thanks!!
Need som information..
I would like to start doing things in my own area, get my accounts, etc. I just do not know where to start. Do I type up an "introductory" letter and send them to doc offices? What kind of equipment is the easiest to do this "internet based?" I have A LOT of questions. If someone could email me, I would really appreciate it!!
Thanks
More information....SM
I don't mean a financial deduction. I'm just trying to figure out a percentage score. Here's the details.
The document is 40,178 characters.
There were two critical errors (word left out and wrong dose) and seven noncritical errors (like his instead of has, a instead of an, etc.)
How could I figure a percentage?
thank you for this information
I have been struggling with this decision and your info makes it easier for me to stick with XP. Why mess with a good thing?
Too much information
The doctor just dictated the patient became pregnant on her wedding night. Not something I really needed to know. LOL.
Where did this information come from?? nm

More information.
This program can be set to automatically download files from FTP sites or folders on the computer's hard drive; it's just that you have to do it manually, whereas some of the "more automated programs" came with these things already set up. I use ES for all transcription playback and haven't needed the pricer automation.
As with most opinions, they are subjective, but happy for the discourse.
Just for your information....
There was no lack of willingness to fill anybody in about anything. I was going to tell her everything from top to bottom about the account, what I was looking for and find out what she was looking for so as to make a perfect fit. She was not "signing her life away" either. I am only looking for 2-3 hours per day and the time you complete the work is totally up to you. As far as being miserable to work for, I haven't had anyone work for me before because I have been the only person in my business, doing hospital account along with IC positions. I don't have to offer more cpl to get anyone to work for me. In fact, I could just keep all of it for myself, but because I try to keep my clients happy I am needing to get another person on-board so as to keep TAT within reason. As far as I'm concerned this discussion can be locked. I can't believe the hateful and bitchy remarks made to a totally innocent inquiry. As I haven't had to go through the hiring process before, I was wondering if this was the norm, that you get people like this when you interview. After all of this, I think I will just continue to do all the work myself. There will be less headaches for all involved and more money for me in the long-run. So all of you who had a problem with a simple inquiry, go back to your little holes and be happy. I've got work to do!
Thanks for the information...nm

Exactly where are you getting this information?
LOL - "all other countries?"
Source, please.
Why can't Americans dispense with some of their arrogance and try harder to understand/be understood?
I have NO problem with ESLs in general because they oftern try harder to be understood than American mumblers/speeders.
You have old information.
MT Information
Treasia,
I graduated from a MT course in 06. It was a nine month course and I found it very helpful. I would think with your knowledge you would only need a Med.Term class for refreshers. (Which you probably do not need,but almost everyone wants). I also feel I should mention, which is something that I wish someone would have told me starting off,
MOST PLACES REQUIRE 2 YEARS BEFORE THEY ALLOW YOU TO WORK FROM HOME.
The college I would recommend is Indian Hills Community College, in Ottumwa Iowa. They offer all classes for this program online. They have a great set up and for all the interviews I have been on most of the employers comment on how great the classes were and sometimes they even went above and beyond what was required. Hope this helps and good luck to you.
Thank you for this information -
Thank you so, so much. This is actually going to help me, too, on another project I am doing on my home computer. I just happened to read the post. I went to the website, and it looks like it is perfect! It works with all window applications.
All the best - 
For your information,
"your" s/b spelled "you're!"
Second of all, I did not complain about every post! There are very supportive and positive people here, and you are NOT one of them! Once again, you are not even addressing the real issues here! If you don't have anything positive to say, then go away! Wow! I think there is less hostility in Iraq right now, than on this board!
Go away negative/unsupportive posters! We don't need you here! Helpful info only welcome!
