Had it done in 1999
It was such a miracle being able to see.  Had both eyes done, but one regressed, so ended up with monovision which works fine for me.  But hit that 50-something now and have cataracts.  Definitely do have dry eyes so use artificial tears whether in the office or at home. 
I had it done in 1999 and

I'm glad I did.  I haven't had any problems other than the dry eye syndrome, so I use artificial tears every day.  I had both eyes corrected but the right eye regressed leaving me with mono-vision, so I didn't need glasses to drive or to read. By now though I do need reading glasses.  


I worked for the "Q" in 1999 and had 11 yrs exp...sm
and was only making 7.5 cpl. That was after I had been with them for 8 years! I had many MT friends none of which made more than 9 or 10 cpl. Seriously, who are the companies paying this???
MTs have threatened this as far back as 1999. It never happens.
Just quit the job if you aren't happy there.


1999 Lincoln Navigator with 3rd row.....
Extremely roomy and quite comfy. Won't be getting a brand new one anytime soon because they are quite pricey.....I'll stick with the 1999 model for now!

Have a 1996 Suburban, bought in 02/1999 with 64K miles - sm
now has 184K miles, still going strong. Paid $26K. Have gotten our money's worth on it. Just started making repairs here and there over the last 2 years, new fuel pump, new fitting from radiater to engine, a couple engine seals, water pump, cleaning of fuel injectors. Probably about $2K all together in the last 7 years we have had it, not bad I think, other than regular maintance stuff, i.e. brakes, tires, oil changes, air filters, engine belt, etc. Gets about 15 MPG, 18 sometimes. Thing is a tank and I love it. Had a Blazer before that, though I had to put a lot of $$$ into it over the years I had it (10), about 16 MPG---Going to run the Suburban into the ground, hope to get 250K miles at least out of it. Has a few tics now and then due to age but all in all is in great shape and runs well, and I have made a point of fixing things immediately engine-wise and cosmetically. Go GM, have heard the transmissions last a lot longer (mine is proof of that, 184K original transmission) my husband has a 1990 Ford F-250 that had its transmission rebuild at 90K miles. His truck now has 189K miles on it and shifts rough.
Proud ex-CMT here too. I quit 'em back in 1999 - sm
They got almost 3 grand out of me before I wised up. LOL!

Female..hands down !


I swear, every account I've ever worked had one problem dictator.. always female !  One REFUSED to use macros, even on normals.. and she would always make sure she made every report unique, so that we couldn't sneak away with using a macro for her.  Another one spoke a hundred miles a minute.  I remember my first day with her.  She said something several times in her reports and I went crazy trying to figure it out.... lumbar spine ??  supine ??  Turns out she was saying "skip a line" !!  


 


That's why I use vg for the female part.

MALE MT or FEMALE MT?

Who is better in the Medical Transcription? Men or women medical transcriptionists. I believe it has been a debate throughout decades who is better in this industry. Regardless of Race and regardless of Age. Let the battle begin... (hey its just for fun)


State your side: Age sex Location. No names Pls. and comments. Maybe Footonmyneck, SUN, Cheeseburger, Proud to be Indian, and the entire MT Stars gang can start it up. Its better than talking about outsourcing and MQ for a change.

37-year-old female been an MT since I was 19. sm
When the hospital looked at my college courses they thought I would be a great fit for a part-time transcription job.

Had no clue what an MT was back then but they started me at $7.61 an hour which was a lot more than what all my friends were making back then.

With a lot of help from spellcheck, my trusty word books and a very patient old timer sitting next to me in the dept - it all worked out.

I'm a 27-year-old female MT (7 years) with a numb right wrist, but I love my job.  Started with Transcriptions Limited, then Medquist & Spheris, now thoroughly enjoying MT at a small but wonderful service.

If you're a female then it's ....sm
going to be a worse adjustment than if you're male. Women have zero rights there and dogs are treated better here in the US. Would you want to have to keep your body veiled, never be able to speak against a man, have to walk behind them and have zero life? Then move there.

If you're a man then you don't have to deal with being treated like a slave but you will have to endure watching women being treated poorly.

I have a friend who went there to work as a paramedic in the early 90s because of the tax-free job stuff, but came back after 3 months because he couldn't stand watching women being treated the way they were.

Im an IC with 7-different offices.  Yes, I stay pretty busy
#2 should be 82-year-old female,
#5 depends on how the client wants abbreviations (po versus p.o.) and according to BOS it is q.4h. with no space between the q. and the 4; #1 also depends on the client; I have one account that specifically states 2 spaces after periods and colons.
not all female here and 2 things...sm

You presume all MTs are *hens* = female - so #1 you are incorrect and #1....you *seem* to be living in a bubble. Do some research on Area 51....and then come back and comment some more.....and then don't forget about ALL govts and what all they do in secrecy......


AREA 51.......and all of Nevada!!
