Actually I never understood what was so special about them

I wouldn't care one way or another if I never heard another Beatles song again

yep, I understood what you were saying!

 


 


It's not fun to go through. I was so stressed the whole time. I often wonder if all of the transcriptionists went through the same thing at the place I worked.  I could understand if it is a huge deal or something, but that was out of hand.


Best thing I ever did for myself was move on!


I don't think you understood ...
She said that she was let go and is not under contract now and he is still calling asking questions, even though she is not working for them. I believe she should charge for his services also.
The way I understood the OP
it IS her company as in, she owns it. So, if that is the case, she absolutly has the right to demand that the company name, logo, or anything associated with it be taken down. Especially if it is plaster over a website that displays explicit sexual pictures. It is not about whether or not a person is homosexual, it is about the appearance of the company.

If the employee wants to plaster naughty pictures of herself, whatever. To each their own BUT, if it could possibly portray the company in a bad light, she should absolutely not put the company name out there on her personal website. It's bad taste.
At least you understood him.

I understood what you
Some people just want to jump to the worst conclusion.  I understood exactly what you were saying.  You are trying to earn less then $900.  Why people are so judgmental about other people's circumstances is amazing.  Talk about self-righteous.
At any time it was understood sm
that I would leave the room at the patient's request.  I had to have HIPAA training just like the nurses or anyone else there.  I was under oath to not disclose any info about any patient and I took that seriously.  Most patients did not mind me being there and if they did then I left so they could discuss in more private.  I always had to type in whatever was discussed in the room afterwards so I still knew what had went on. 
If all IC's understood what that IC means, maybe...

there wouldn't be such a problem with the quality of pay for MT's.  An independent contractor does NOT need to accept 5-6-7 cpl for their work and does not have to abide by MTSO's demands for overtime, etc.  An IC tells THEM what she/he will do and how much she/he will charge the MTSO for their services.  It's your business and you set the rules.  I know this won't happen on a large scale now because too many people are desperate for the work and will agree to work for next to nothing.  Too bad, because if all IC's set their pay scale like they should have in the beginning, the MTSO's would have to pay it in order to get their work done and would have to charge their clients enough to cover the costs. 


Well, I am not positive, but the way I understood it--sm
was that the bill *strongly encouraged* physicians to upgrade and make paper medical records available on some type of electronic system so they could be accessed by computer. I do not necessarily believe that all doctors are going to be *forced* to use the EHR system for transcription...just so the records can be accessed on line by any physician anywhere. that is all. but that is just my understanding of it and again, I could be wrong. Sounds like she was just trying to scare you! She better be careful, maybe they will sign a bill allowing for robots to take over all nursing professions too. lol. j/k.
What is not understood here is unlike some others,
I am not in the situation to where I have to work, do it now because I have just worked so long, could retire, really don't want to do that so I am satisfied with my salary- even at the 8 cent straight and 4 cents editing, bring home every 2 weeks over $1000 and that is fine with me, no bills, no young kids, no worries.
Okay. Doctors that cannot be understood. Does

I am an employee and that is the way I understood it too - nm

That's how I understood the sentence...
Units being the subject. I was QA'd today. I was marked off for spelling out HCTZ which is on the dangerous abbreviation list. I pointed that one out to my supervisor.
WE understood her just fine

You're just making yourself look really silly now. 


Yes, thank you, that's how I understood your post.
No specific reference to newbies was made.
I've never understood why some people consider...

certain jobs to be more important than others.  The old cliche "Any job worth doing is worth doing well" comes to mind. 


I believe that a person what does for a living doesn't have any bearing on how valuable that person is or how important that person is.  Some of the most wonderful people I've ever known don't have what some might feel are "important" jobs, but they are wonderful people nonetheless.


And, some people who have what some might consider higher class jobs (boy, I hate that outlook) are some pretty miserable human beings.


People are people . . . and their worth isn't tied to their job in my book.  I want to be a good person, and what I do for a job doesn't have anything to do with that.


If a store manager is a good person, doing a good job, he's  to me. 


I wish some people would get off their high-horse! 


I started posting as a former bank manager in a thread about consumer credit counseling.  It seemed relevant at the time. 


True, you understood me perfectly. (sm)
And some education in communication.  Apparently, they are not looking at the whole picture and if they stepped out of the business they would be able to look at things from outside of the golden cuffs.
I never understood why NASCAR is the biggest

to watch cars go round and round and round and round for hours, days, weeks, months, years.......I get the gambling side of NASCAR but I don't get that it truly is (and IT TRULY IS!!!) the biggest spectator sport out there.



Haha...I read it once and understood exactly
what she said. She didn't get the face lift.
Understood. Sending a smile your way for a better day. nm

Believe it or not, only now I understood what you really meant in your post,
you meant that she should pose as an Indian, then she would be hired, that's funny!
I don't add it to the beginning as the noun is understood, especially if it a verbatim
account I would not change it.
I've always understood a CC to be an exact copy

I hope I understood your problem correctly:
You have on the back of your computer only 1 USB port for your footpedal, no serial port.
Your footpedal has a 9-pin plug, a male one.

What you need is an adapter that has on 1 end the USB plug to be put into the USB port on the back of the computer tower and on the other end a 9-pin plug (female) for your foot pedal.

After you connected these, you have also to set the right footswitsch option in your computer:

Click
control panel/footswitch settings/USB port.

Hope this helps.
No, you're not missing anything. I understood it to read the same thing.... nm

If patient is gravida 0 shouldn't para 0 be understood?

If it looked like a guess, I totally would have understood, but it doesn't.

Special
What is your suggestion of what is special?
Special
For starters a good high pay rate with bonuses.  Good benefits including a retirement with a match by the employer.  And while we're wishing, how bout a little more respect for the MTs.   
Special needs son
Teacher sent home this website: www.internet4classrooms.com He actually goes on the computer and navigates around the site pretty well. I'm hoping to get some time to look at it and see what else he can do.
You are special
And maybe God knew that your stepdaughters and nieces and nephews were going to ~need~ you. HAPPY "Special Aunt Patti" DAY to you!!!!

Special Needs
I understand that everyone wants what is best for their children, I know I do. But, it is very frutrating when there are other children in the class and parents think that their child should get all the extra attention, at the expense of 20 other kids. In our district, we have more special education teachers (many specifically to work wiht ADHD children) than we do regular teachers and our gifted program got cut, because this stuff is federally mandated. I would sure like it if they mandated GT programs too.

My son is ADHD and GT as well. It is my responsiblity as a parent to work with him, both on his education and his medical issues. He was medicated through junior high and still struggled a bit, but now, as a freshman in HS, he is averaging over 95%.

It is our responsibility to do what is needed to help our children excel. Not just the schools.
You should not need anything special--sm
like adaptors or anything to plug it in to your computer. They plug in just like a CRT monitor. They are slightly different in visualization though, (colors do not seem as bright, at least to me) and they do take some getting used to, but I really like mine. I have an LG 17 inch.
special thank you
Just wanna say a special "thank you" for someone emailing me a book that will give me so much info on this topic:)
You're not special, lol.
:+
Ahhhh, but he IS special!

I never took any special courses, but I had
worked a total of almost 15 years in a hospital, first in billing, where we had to code all the diagnoses and ops ourselves, and then in another hospital in rehab, where part of my duties were transcription for that dept and some of their various clinics. After my second child was born, I quit the hospital and a friend who had 20 years in transcription taught me what I needed to learn. I got hired by one of the first company's I applied with, and have been doing this for seven years now, and love what I do!
The one by me is having an anniversary special -sm
I believe it is 1 year since they opened up. $29 a month, and the normal $149 membership fee is discounted to $49 ($100 off) for the first 100 that sign up this month. So I figured that is a good deal, plus my neighbor and I will support each other. She is very competitive so she will keep us both going. They have monthly contests there as well. I am planning to go either this afternoon to check it out or go with her tonight and sign up. I need to lose this weight before it starts affecting my health in any major ways (get out of breath with minimal exertion though) but that will not last. Plus I'd love to go up to my dad's at Christmas and be 40+ pounds lighter, I'd still be overweight but I know I'd look a lot better.
Well aren't you special!!

My method, nothing special...sm
I like to look at the previous line I typed as I go, just to make sure. At the end of the report, I go up to the top of the report, glossing over to catch anything else that might not have caught my eye the first time. I feel better about it when I send it off. My expansions have gotten me in trouble before so want to make sure I don't see anything strange. I think that's what makes us specialists, not just typists:-)
Need special equipment
I did some overflow for a company that did this and it was terribly hard to hear, reception was very poor.  But I do know that you need to play the tapes onto the digital player or whatever it is called and then download to your computer, upload to the FTP site.   And the sound quality is  not good at all, at least to me it wasn't.  But good luck.  
You MUST have a special pedal sm
My Infinity won't work with it and no, you can't use another player for the voice.

startstop.com, I believe it is, has a dedicated Inscribe pedal for $98. Don't get the system thingy, just the pedal. I just ordered mine, btw.

My verdict is still out on Inscribe and I think I'll like it better when I get my pedal.
You can have one built special for you
at any computer tech store. I ended up getting a refurbished laptop on ebay that had XP on it and got Word 2003 for only $39. I did buy a 2-year warranty on teh laptop, but even with that it was cheaper than buying a new one and having to have Vista deleated and adding XP and all the new drivers.
Saw part of a special on E-Bay last night...
One couple selling movies - I believe their yearly income last year was over 600,000... I didn't see enough to find out where they got the movies to sell, but obviously a very lucrative business. Started out as sideline, man quit his full time job and has built a whole storage building on his land in order to house their supply. I really would love to know how to do that!
Frank's special place.


Isn't he cute?  He bought all of us chapsticks and a key chain.  I think that is so sweet.  He likes me the best of all his 10,000 transcribing chicks though.


I watched a special on TV last night
about outsourcing to India and how much they are gaining financially from this situation.  It showed some of the girls out shopping in nice malls buying three and four pairs of shoes at a time.  Wish I could just buy one pair!!  Bring our work back home!!!

Does it get lonely in your special little world?


Did I tell you I won the lottery and won $3567 million? 


Have to agree with this poster. Nothing special! (nt)

Nightline had a special last night

on hospital infections and stated that basically, because of poor sterile technique by the hospital and hospital personnel, more than 80,000+ people would die this year from this condition.


The cost of taking care of one of these infections, caused by the hospital itself, is horrendous, well over $100,000 if you have to have an infected surgical wound treated surgically again.   I finished my IV wonder drugs, not sure what that cost will be yet from the pharmacy and home health care, but I know that 1 vial of medicine used to unclog my IV was $800.  My 10 day supply of Zyvox was $1100.   I also had 14 days of IV Zyvox twice a day and 14 days of IV Levaquin once a day, so you can imagine what my bill is going to run.   I will also have an addition bill from the anesthesiologist, the surgeon, the infectious diseases doctor, the hospitalist, radiologist, and who knows who else. 


I really think the cheapo hospitals could dig up another few cents a line that could be paid directly to the MTs rather than cutting our rates all the time. 


 


 


Patti - special thanks for all the tax info

I paid a lot of attention to your posts this year as I worked as an employee, an IC and a SE.  I submitted my tax return yesterday using TurboTax and my total federal tax for the year was - cough, sputter - $281, or 0.061% of my income.  I have already been notified the IRS accepted the return and will receive my refund by DD next week. 


I just wanted to send up a special thank you to your valuable contribution to the board!
