    Let me know.  I will be more than happy to lend my marketing experience and anything else that needs to be done.

    this post was like if you let your children go to daycare, see what happens. The world has become so evil that it just does not apply to if you have your children in day care. Remember about the mother in Texas, stay at home, who drowned her 5 children at 1 time. Beautiful children and yet a mother no less. You cannot just say not on my watch. That is what I was speaking about. I think lots of people have their heads in the sand thinking just home front is safe and secure.
    I think anytime you get a raise you should
    thank your lucky stars. I have been doing this for over 20 years and I cannot even remember a raise, probably in the 80s or early 90s? I think most places, the companies here, are not giving raises these days. I make less than the 80s and 90s now. Others will make more but they are probably the ones who have their own accounts.
    Here's you a link on it. Won't be anytime soon.

    READ ingredients!! Anytime you see
    (meat) *byproducts* you are getting *and paying for* mystery meat that *you would not choose to feed to your beloved animal* if you could see what it was. It's not far-fetched at all to call it "road-kill!"

    Good rule of thumb: Most of the mega-corporations out there making dog/cat food and spending BIG BUCKs for advertisement of how great their product is - are usually the ones most guilty of scamming you by adding unhealthy ingredients.

    Anytime someone makes a suggestion for an -sm
    actual action to be taken, all the naysayers on this board try to blast them out of the water with their *flame*-throwers. "What goes around", et al.
    I love my ESL docs and would see one anytime sm
    over an English as first language doc. All they care about is money, not patient care. I think the ESLs actually CARE about their patients.
    Anytime a company does not honor its own paydates,
    I would never give a 2nd chance to miss it.

    If you have anything in writing or email, I would take that to an attorney. They owe you money. You were given a paydate and they failed to pay. I would also take to the attorney a list of dates/times you tried to contact management, who you were trying to contact, at what number/address, and the response you received.

    Not honoring paydates is a zero tolerance issue in my book.

    I would make sure at the very least to contact the Better Business Bureau and file a complaint.

    Good luck.

    did you try to do a system restore? anytime i find myself sm
    in a situation like yours, i always try system restore to an earlier date to fix the screw up i did. no need to uninstall programs that way either. so much easier. i agree with the other poster, sometimes i get so furious with IT that i hang up on them and fix it myself!! if working on the computer is your income, you owe it to yourself to learn how they work so you can fix minor problems or be best friends with an IT or repair person you can call 24/7 without a huge price.
    You are far from stup Kathy. Think it through or contact me anytime.

    Anytime! Hope it gets worked out. Good luck! nm

    We have implemented links to various keywords and it will be growing over time.  At present, we have about a dozen keywords that you can link to when there is a reference made in a post by a poster.  We felt that visitors would WELCOME information that they may be seeking.


    Regarding Medquist, it's no secret that the company outsources offshore.  That has been made public my MedQuist for some time now.

    If you spent anytime here at all, y'all know how I feel about offshoring. :0) SM

    What most don't realize is while there are laws protecting your medical data in the United States, these laws are unenforceable overseas.  So basically, a patient's supposedly "protected health information" isn't really protected at all once it electronically crosses the borders out of the U.S.  I think it is important that all patients be aware of this fact and have a say whether or not they want someone in India having access to their medical data!


    I've been talking to a newspaper reporter in my area who is interested in running a story on this subject especially because I have firsthand knowledge of a local hospital who is outsourcing all of its transcription to a MTSO that offshores to India.  I'm very excited because I've been pushing for public awareness of this subject for a while and I feel like I'm finally on the threshhold of effecting real change in my little part of the industry.


    Anyway, change has to start with us, the MTs.  We are MTs and we are patients.  We have valuable knowledge as MTs about what happens to our protected health information and we should pass that knowledge on to those patients who don't have the benefit of being employed in the healthcare industry and are unaware of what happens to all that electronic information that makes up their medical record.  I've told my whole family to ask "who does your transcription" at the doctor's office, the hospital, etc.  When the doctor's office or the hospital hands you a HIPAA disclosure, that's your opening to ask questions about who all sees your medical record, who does the transcription, and is your medical information protected even if it is sent to India to be typed.


    Okay, that was my soapbox speech for the day. 


    Anytime I've tested, it's always been the same test on mttest.com, or careerstep. See if you c

    Same here. Enjoy.

    I enjoy VR
    I work on the eScription platform for MDI now, formerly for Transcend (the eScription VR work moved to MDI).  From what I understand, Transcend is continually adding new accounts and needs more people to staff them, for the most part.  I'm curious what company/platform you are doing VR for/on?  I have made more money using VR, personally, and, as you say, with much less wear and tear on my hands/wrists.
    So far I enjoy it
    I have worked outside the home and got tired of office politics and dealing with supervisors on power trips etc. I wanted more control over my life. I decided to become an MT which allowed me have that and have been working as an MT for 4 1/2 years now. I enjoy the work (except for those difficult dictations), enjoy working from home and enjoy the flexible hours. I have made more money working as an MT than I ever had before. I find the work challenging. I know there is a lot for me to learn and I am trying to build on my experience and hope to continue in this line of work for as long as I can.
    I enjoy....sm

    Psych and ER, because they are interesting.  Also like H&Ps, d/c summaries, and family practice.


    Dislike neuro, especially with a thick accent


     


    Then enjoy! sm
    My favorite is microwave movie-theater butter popcorn and SnoCaps or M&Ms! Anything in moderation is not bad. I do this just about every month and am not overweight either. Plus, did you know your metabolism rises during *that* time of the month? Eat up :)
    Yes - enjoy .12
    I make much less than I did 10 years ago - due to Microsoft Word versus WordPerfect and the fact that you have to look up "every little thing" on the internet to complete a report.  No one wants blanks and because of the internet they think you should be able to find every doctor on God's green earth, their address and the number of children that they have - as well as business names and addresses, relatives, etc.  all done through Google or some other search engine which takes time out of your actual transcription.  There used to be people in the office who would take care of these things and now the Transcriptionist is expected to do it.  I can never get a good flow going anymore because of having to stop and look up names and addresses, etc. I would be happy with .12 and just wait for the day that your job goes to India - as they are all doing.
    i enjoy it
    went thru a rough time last summer when they went to VR, but i went out and sold myself and became an editor. they have since thrown in the towel and dictating again. i have too much work now, but i am not complaining. last paycheck i made $1100 so it is worth what i put into it.
    I enjoy it too.

    Does anyone here ENJOY their job?
    Does anyone on this board actually enjoy doing med tran?  It seems like all everyone does on here is complain about how bad it has gotten and how they hate it.  I just want to know if anyone feels the opposite and still enjoys mt'ing?
    I enjoy my JOB, just not how bad the pay has gotten.

    Enjoy, eat up and be merry
    Prostelysing bothers me.  Keep your god to you and everything is fine.  Start telling other people it is okay to do something cause *god* says so, then it isnt fine.  That kind of stuff belongs on the religion board.  Arguments for blacks in the back of the bus, blacks not being allowed to vote, nothing wrong with smoking, drinking, not letting women vote.  All of these were thought of as right years ago.  We, thankfully, evolved and realized they were wrong and changed them.  Same thing with killing animals.  IMHO and in millions of others opinions, it is wrong and one day, we will look back in horror.  Already so many young people are vegetarians, more so than when I went to school.  Im amazed.  I have three friends who each have sons.  All four of those sons are vegetarian and they are educating and enlightening their mothers about the healthful ways of eating and ethical and kind way of living.  Not to harm, tread on this earth softly.  So, once again, have a feast..enjoy. Actually, the animals are getting their revenge through disease spread by eating meat.  I talked to one thoracic surgeon I used to work with and he said meat eating, especially red meat, contributes to heart disease, plaquing, high cholesterol, gallstones, gallbladder disease and he said that was just the beginning, much more.  But, hey, this is America.  We can make our own choices.  So enjoy.  It is just a post about animal cruelty.  If it bothers you and your gods teaching, then dont read it.  
    enjoy it while it lasts
    i received letter from MQ stating all ASR work will now be paid at 80%. Yippee! Is the client paying less for ASR work? Is the cost of living going down 20%?

    ready to retire
    i enjoy your posts
    you seem to have your head on straight
    lol, im sure no one would condemn you for that, enjoy

    Muy bueno! Enjoy some for me!
    That sounds goooooood.
    I'm a little ashamed to say....just I enjoy going to
    I know this isn't as exciting as the other posters, but honestly...just going to the beach and relaxing is great for me!! :>
    I enjoy going to them and hosting
    but then again, I used to sell Homemade Gourmet, so I was one of those that counted on someone hosting a party. Never tried to make any feel like they had to though...
    Glad you could use it. Enjoy!

    Enjoy your cookout.
    This is my third try with this message!  The bad language police told me I used a bad word twice and my message was dumped.  I did not .. repeat did not use any bad language at all .. what I have been trying to say is that there has to be some significance in shooting into the Sea of Japan and I wonder if we still have active bases there?  To get to us .. all they need is a bigger booster rocket and since we have cut back money for everything to fight hand to hand in Iraq .. I wonder if the silo situation with our rockets to take out their rockets still is in working order!!  Typing this makes me think of a bunch of little boys playing war and it is really not doing much to keep me in a celebratory mood .. God help us all.
    I don't enjoy most of their dictation either, but
    the one who did surgery on my foot must have been a genius. He totally fixed the bunion and pain I had, plus straightened my 2 littlest toes. I wasn't having trouble in the smaller toes, actually, but he said I would, and all he had to do was blah-blah-blah. So I let him do it. Sure enough, that whole foot is great now, and the other foot I haven't had done because the bunion wasn't quite bad enough has had pain in the bunion and those unfixed little toes off and on, so I think he was right to straighten the others, even though they were only a tiny bit curved.

    I think they have to say all those words for documentation purposes so they will get full payment, but it makes for some very long, boring reports with a bunch of slurring MDs.
    You are blessed, for sure! Enjoy it! nm

    I don't enjoy watching my pay go

    from a living wage in the 80s/90s with decent line counts and fairly decent dictators to horrendous ESLs, "creative" line counts to gyp the MT, and pay so low you can make more at McDonald's.


    I do enjoy transcribing & editing.  Preaching to the choir here, as we all know MT isn't something anyone without training and skill can do.  The pay should be commensurate with knowledgel, but sadly it isn't.  That is why I only do MT on weekends now and have a FT job in a completely different field.  I simply can't afford to be an MT anymore.


    When enough skilled transcriptionists leave the MT industry and US hospitals are fed up with offshore quality or get sued enough times and the message finally hits home, maybe there will be a demand again for MT, but I doubt it.  That is my hope though.


    I enjoy doctors that like to mix it up
    a little bit. When I worked in an office, our rectal/colon surgeon was always cracking jokes concerning his speciality, may have been a little off color, but he livened the place up. When they are singing, cracking jokes, etc., at least the dictation is not boring.
    Actually, I enjoy doing MT work very much
    most days. That has nothing to do with my vent. My vent was about ESLs who can't speak the English language coherently enough to be understood. The same goes for English-speaking physicians who haven't mastered the language either. If they don't know enough about the English to construct a proper sentence, then maybe they should hire someone else to do their dictating for them.
