They'll get some kind of concession and go back and try to think of another way to get money out of us. Happens all the time.

Amen on babies having babies
I know that several teens seem to be having babies anymore, in a time when there is sooooooooooo much offered them in the way of education and birth control. At our local highschool, they even have an elective course of life studies//these girls take care of a life like baby that yes, cries, wets, wines at all times. They even have to take it home for the duration of the course, the same as if it were their child, 24/7.
I think that some of the mentality is that be getting pregnant, they can "escape home life" by illogically thinking the boy will take care of them and the baby and we all know how many times that really happens
Yeah, and to think he started out as Kip Wilson! LOL.

There is a disordered called Wilson's Syndrome
I believe. The TFTs will be normal, but there is still a problem and being put on low-dose thyroid replacement helps. I don't remember all the specifics now, but when through testing with my primary physician who had an interest in this.

Thanks,
MTStars Support Team.
With our current administration, just about anywhere
Except the middle east, of course. We shoulda' nuked it all off the map on 9/12/01.
It's how incredibly arrogant this administration is!
How can you trust anything that comes from anyone in this adminstration's mouth? Starting at the very top!! I can NOT wait until his dictatorship is over. I am really praying that the Democrats get back in office. I can not stand the Bush administration's air of superiority. I don't appreciate being made to look foolish on the world stage. Bush and his cronies are an embarrassment to this country. I can not wait until their regime ends!!
Administration gives a solution for it several threads down...

I saw the MT-vs-Hospital Administration in "Apprentice" tonight ... (sm)
When The Donald was firing this week's person from the losing team, I was laughing because I could see my hospital in them all. The male assistant to The Donald was our chief hospital administrator. Pure evil. The blonde gal was our head of human resources. The Donald was the bull-headed Chief-of-_________ (fill in the medical specialty of your choice!) And the poor guys with their heads on the chopping block who were receiving nothing but belittling & criticism, even after a truly valiant effort to do the best job possible, were the MTs.
Absolutely illegal....my hubby is in administration...
He said you should report this to the medical records supervisor. If she is aware of this and is "okay" with it, then she is playing with fire and you should report this immediately to the administrator of the hospital. Only a doctor or someone he has approved to dictate for him (RN, PA-C, etc.) can legally do this. This is to also protect yourself, so there will be no question that you are not involved in this in any way.
Our current administration has made this country a

Last time I was paid this little was during the Reagan administration.
Sigh.
Yep, it is new technology. Anywhere you can
get cell phone signal, you can get service. I am sure it will get better.
What a world to live in these days. I didnt want to spend the whole summer indoors, so I got it.
It is just combersome (however you spell that word) to lug around foot pedal, headphones, etc. lol
Not to mention the books if you need one, but it gets me out for a couple of hours a day with the kids.
ASP technology
i would recommend looking into an ASP if you are not great with computers. They make things pretty easy and do all the "tech" work for you. We use Medikin, I would say check it out ... and GOOD LUCK! :)
Technology
I used to fear for our profession...rumors of voice recognition technology, then decided to embrace it, not fight it. Times will always change. I jumped on the bandwagon, and am speaking reports, not typing them, and am up to almost 500 lines/hour. We can either spend all our time worrying, or we can use our God-given intelligence to make changes work for us.
No it isn't the same. Technology
seems to have stolen some of the personal touches.
B. S. in Medical Technology
I worked in a hospital laboratory for 33 years and retired in 2001. I found out about a year later that my husband was losing his medical insurance after he retired on disability and so I had to go back to work. I had dabbled with transcription in the pathology department and so I decided to make it my second career and I just love it. I get to work from home and don't have to deal with the office politics and all the bureaucratic red tape that comes with working at a hospital.
Color me happy!!!!

I am not laughing at the technology.
At this point, at least to my understanding, the health insurance industry and Joint Commission require detailed documentation,especially the insurance companies who love to quibble on what they'll pay. When the detailed documentation is no longer being required and standard text and check off systems are used, the docs have no way to cover their butts. Let a few of them be sued for malpractice because they have no detailed proof of exact treatment, and we'll see just how wonderful this mobile system works. The insurance companies will be in an uproar over the judgements they are paying out.
BS in Medical Technology
I worked as a medical technologist (lab tech) in a hospital laboratory for 30+ years before retiring in 2001. I was interested in transcription as a second career so I volunteered to cover the pathology secretary's days off just for the experience.......and here I am and love it. The pay is only half what I made in the lab but there is much less stress and I love working at home. Obviously, my many years in the medical field helped tremendously with terminology but there was still a tremendous amount to learn; it's a continuous learning process. 
Right-it has nothing to do with keeping up with technology... sm
if it means compatibility with a company platform.
technology smarter than you think
An advert for *TAKE THIS MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION COURSE AND START A NEW CAREER!* was sifted into my junk email box.
could mass producers be using technology? (sm)
A friend once told me (a man, of course - haha) I should be using VR personally, for my own work at a national company. I considered it, but did not have the time (or money) to invest; however, I have noticed a couple of posts on here regarding such. Something about the dragon- dragone, not sure what it is called, but I do think there are individuals using the technology, as employees. I mean, why not really...
If MTs are using it personally, if it were to catch on, couldn't that cut out the work force significantly? What if companies supplied us with it, wow, we would just be editing all day long, how hard could that be? Lines would be gobbled up.
Not that I am accusing this person of doing that, but if she is, it would definitely explain how there are people making huge bucks in the MT world.
Perhaps that is what it will come down to...weeding out about 1/2 of us ??
50, A.S. in Medical Records Technology.
Of course now that course would be called HIM. Transcription was included. My first job was in a physician's office and consisted of mostly transcription. High school courses were heavy in typing. I do not know that I could contribute to a rebuttle. The company that I just left had mostly older employees. This company just closed. Now I am an IC with about the same pay. I do not believe that there are as many young people entering the profession. Part of that is because it is hard work, and no longer pays well in proportion to other jobs they can train for. Also, who wants to spend money and time training for a job that may be outsourced at any time? The only young people I know going into this profession are doing it because they want to work at home. This once was a good profession to enter, but now things really seem to be going sour.
It's called technology and progress.
Things change. It's been happening since the beginning of time.
Does anyone suppose that with all the advances in technology that
there might be some more companies willing to take those MT's who only have satellite in the future? There are so few now. Really limits a person's options. Wadyathink? MTSO's - any response??
A.S. in Medical Record Technology
This included a course in Medical Transcription. Went to work in a physician's office. My job title was medical records, but the main component of the job was transcription. This led to later full-time transcription job.
It can be done both with babies and kids...
I would agree that it is a lot easier to do when you have a baby because you can work around the baby's schedule, at least I was lucky to have a very flexible employer at the time I had my three little ones. As they get older, it is more difficult because you will be running around with them to do their activities/school stuff, and they want to spend one on one time with you, etc... but I also agree that if you have something to keep them busy like the leap pad or computer, or play things you can do it. I've managed to do this at home for 8 years with three kids starting when my 10 year old was 2 so it is possible to get it done. You need to be very organized and disciplined to get the work done but it definitely can be done with babies and kids around. Good luck!!
except birth babies.....do you all ever...sm
listen to yourselves? Unreal. 
I have 5 children, two of which have been babies...
It is not always easy, but you do what you want to do. You will make it work if you try and find out what works best for you. Don't put your baby in daycare just to make it easier on yourself. You can work around the baby!

If you doubt progressive technology, remember
We've gone from typing in WP51 from cassette tapes, looking up words in a library of books rather than on Google, printing our own work and delivering it by courier to transcribing dictation directly into EMRs via internet-based software that was recorded on palm pilots. The extent of technology that we've seen in such a short time to me is amazing and scary at the same time. I also would like to think that there will be a long-term demand for editors (I am one), but common sense tells me to start thinking about a different avenue.
Anyone have exp with Vscript platform by MT Medcore Technology?
I just left EMDAT Inscribe and don't want a repeat of a horrible platform. Thanks for ANY information!
Animals have more rights than babies do!

I had 2 babies in less than a year and kept them at home with....
no outside help. BUT.... Do not think for a minute that you can sit down and put in an 8 hour day with an infant in the house. You will have to dramatically alter your working style if that's what you are used to. I made sure I worked for a company where I made my own hours, which basically amounted to "catch as catch can", but you know what? I still managed to make 25,000 a year working VERY part-time. I typed a few reports, got up, fed the kids, typed a few more while they played, got up and played with them, ran errands, put them down for a nap, typed while they slept.... blah blah blah.. My work revolved around the kids and their needs, but it worked. It has to be that way with a baby (in my case 2 of them). I don't believe in daycare for infants and small children. Had we not been able to afford to live of what I could make with them at home, we probably would not have had them. I feel that strong about it for my family (not judging others mind you). They're 11 and 12 now and very secure loving connected kids. I hope my early sacrifices had something to do with it.
Bless your heart, hon. Been there with 2 babies.
I put gel-filled teething toys in the fridge to make them cold; did the Tylenol thing; did the Orajel thing as well.
Honestly, there's not much else you can do. Sometimes if they were a little fussy, I would recline them in my arm and dip my finger in a very cold glass of iced water to cool it and then gently massage their little gums with my cold finger. They would let me. I think the cold numbed and the massage just soothed.
This is one of those stages that it is hard to get through for both baby and parents! I feel for you. I've been up many nights and suffered long days hurting for my little ones.
If it helps, they won't remember the pain. Only you will! lol
Technology has made it so much easier for dishonest people to
take advantage of others. On the internet you can be Miss America, you can be a millionaire, you can be a movie star, you can be anything you want to tell people you are and these services are a breeding ground for people like this.
No thanks.
I'll size people up in person, at face value like anyone should who has nothing to hide.
Normal people don't have to resort to hiding themselves behind a monitor.
It's better sound for one thing. C-phones are just old dinosaur technology.

We have evolve with the technology. MT will simply become ME (medical editors).
What doctor's don't know is that speech recognition still requires A LOT of editing from a Transcriptionist in order for their report to be chart-ready. If we let reports go as they are straight out of the SR software... it just isn't going to happen.
I do strictly SR editing and there is a ton of editing that has to be done to each and every report. There will still be plenty of work, it just depends on how adaptable we can become. Of course, we will have to fight for a decent wage because the natural instinct of management is to want to pay us less, because in their minds we aren't working as hard if we don't have to type every single character in a report. Nevermind the knowledge base we have... but that's a discussion for the future.
The first year with just 1 would be a breeze since babies sleep a lot....after that
but it's doalbe on a part-time basis, maybe FT if you are quick and able to do your job in 6 hours. I started doing MT 3 years ago when my kids were 3 and 4....very hard but I did it, worked while they napped, and at night basically. It can be done but you don't sleep much! Good luck.
People now see their babies as a fashion accessory
Idiots
Me thinks so too. Snowman poop is for babies. :)
When men start birthing babies and breastfeeding
then we can have a conversation about who is better.
Yes, you can! Babies sleep over 16 hours a day on average!
It can be done and has been done - by me!
If they are babies, lots of times the birds and
rodent population make short work of them in a few weeks. Happens all the time where I live. The babies don't have a high success rate! Good luck! Yuck is right!
I'm in favor of showers for all pregnancies/babies
Diapers and supplies are always needed regardless of which pregnancy it is. Also, babies are so wonderful; I love celebrating them (and their moms) with baby showers!
I went back to work when babies were 9 days old
And yes, you can transcribe with TWO babies on your lap. It's a royal pain getting spit-up out of the keyboard though!
And before anybody starts a flame war on me, the boys are 10 years old now and now I get to work while they're asleep.... ;)
I remember doing secretarial work on those old typewriters. I can't imagine MT w/o technology.
Every year technology makes my job easier. Google, internet dictation, spell checks, expanders. I can't remember the last time I opened a reference book. Direct deposit. Banking on line. I can't remember the last time I was actually inside a bank. Love the technology for MTs and payment process.
I do remember standing in line to get check cashed on Friday at lunch when I was a secretary in medical office. Ughh. I do remember having to get all dressed up to sit in an office w/o windows, too hot in the winter and too cold in the summer, to type and file. Ughhh. I remember lines of traffic going into town to get to work and then trying to find a place to park close to the building. Ughh.
Lovin the new things/gadgets to make my life easier and don't look back with any regrets for the "good old days"
Just one thing though. I wish we were paid according to 2005 cost of living standards. What's up with that?

Yuppie parents today raising a bunch of big babies
Wish someone could get through to them that they are doing more harm than good. Nephew's children are like that - it is so annoying. 6-year-old spoiled rotten, and not even fun to be around at all, but it's because they have babied him so much and given him everything he wants, that now he is just a sullen little boy. Can you believe using that word to describe a very bright little 6-year-old boy? It's really a shame.
