Could some of you more veteran MDI-ers tell us

Posted By: MDI-er on 2006-08-02
In Reply to: MDI-MD - Almost afraid to take the leap!

what you're using for LD? I'm fairly new to MDI, just a few months old, and I really like it a lot. I just got dropped from my LD plan this week though because they said I was using it for 'dictation'. Anyhow, I'm switching to MCI. I've heard there are no issues w/that and MCI said they have no issue w/it but I'm wondering if that will change. What do you do for LD and what is your cost for it? BTW, MDI training was decent and the staff is super nice.

I am not your dear! I am a veteran MT who has never taken
their test but I am telling you what I know from QA. I definitely am not your dear and will never be. I think you need to come off your high horse.
32 year RNY veteran
I had surgery 32 years ago and have maintained a 200+ weight loss all those years. Here is a piece and a big piece of the problem. The surgery does not come with the correct psych help to give you the tools to deal with the problems that put you in the OR. There are so many times I have cheated in terms of what I have eaten to get so sick death would be an improvement. I have learned and I'd say it is more like I have been conditioned, to know what not to do so that my surgery continues to work. There are so many things that we can't be sure of in this life that if we take a chance on a surgery then we had pretty much better be ready for some results we perhaps were not expecting. There used to be a weight loss surgery bulletin board years back and we all got together. Everyone was postop. We even had the surgeon from VA who did a lot of the surgeries visit us. As a nurse he and I talked some shop about the whole deal and we agreed that the thing in that house that struck us the most was the amount of food that was there. Lots of junk and lots of liquor. Take stock of your reasons before you do a surgery. In this day and age just looking at a hospital is a risk!!
I'm not a newbie nor veteran...sm
I've only been doing transcription for 10 years. However, with any job, I have always been the type to accept criticism with all the different jobs I've held, newbie or not. I am also the type that knows when to cut a company loose when I truly believe it is time because my sanity is more important. Especially in this field, there are more companies to go with; it is not like transcription is limited to just a few companies. I, myself, would take the loss from training like the MT said below and move on.
question for veteran MDI people.

Have you ever been given a new primary account that you did not want?


Have you ever been denied another backup account?


Thanks Veteran!!! I knew I was not the only one who thought this.

I probably just did not deliver my presentation in the best fashion.


I did not mean to be nasty to anyone.  Just truthful. 


Thanks again!


I didn't know about the Veteran's Trust Fund
My ex is retired Navy, but I myself am the possessor of my own DD214, honorably discharged and everything, but I was only in for about a year (back in the day, you got out when you got pregnant).

I had a lot of very bad things go wrong in my life and was somewhat surprised at the fact that there was no place to turn. My sincere goal is that if/when I get myself dug out of this whole, I have a few things that I'm going to volunteer/advocate for.

Thank you for the info on the Vet Fund. I'll be looking that one up tonight.
