No not from TTS. I am trying to compare apples to apples
Yes, you could do 400 lph with editing but if you got paid 4 cpl line you have to do minimum 3200 lines in a day vs 1600 a day with 8 cpl for straight typing.  So I am assuming to make more money line count would have to be higher than 3200 a day with editing.  I understand that most companies pay half of what they do for straight typing so that tell me you have to produce twice as much to make the same money???  I cannot figure out if VR is a way to pay the Transcriptionist less overall?  Even though she might be producing 400 lph if she is only paid 4 cpl she might end up making less than if she just did straight typing at 8 cpl.  Unless I have it wrong....
Would U like onions & pickles with that?

Vidalia Onions
One other thing about the salsa recipe. I use vidalia onions, and I don't put them in the food processor. I chop them so they're in a little bigger chunks and you get more sweet onion flavor and crunch.
When you say slice onions, do you mean like one whole onion?

Oh my ... you have it rough. I don't think I even know how to cook without onions! sm
For my meatloaf, I use salsa too, plus hamburger, hot Jimmy Dean sausage, breadcrumbs, & egg.  Heck, this is making me hungry for meatloaf now!  :-)
how many apples are red?
Who knows how many MTs are happy. and how do you measure happy? I for one, still enjoy my job after 30+ years of doing it, but i do make less money than ever.

There is some standardization in the field that was not there at all when i started MTing. But not all the standards are good ones, and it does not have the overwhelming respect of those in the trenches. Many of us now juggle the BOS (formerly AAMT) standard, a company standard, a client standard and the HIPAA as well as doctor idiosyncracies. Of course, the standards never touched the pay scale or schooling requirements.

In MTing, the appreciation seldom comes in a pat on the back; usually it simply is a self-satisfaction for doign a job well.

My thoughts? Keep doing what we do, better, with faster TATs and eventually the work may come back from overseas. It does not hurt to have a plan B though, esp in this economic environment.

Apples and oranges. sm
Working in-house is quite different than working through a service (though I suppose I *could* hop a plane and fly halfway across the country to confront someone at my hospital). No, as an MT working for a service we don't have that opportunity.

Otherwise, I don't think we're in disagreement. As for the original poster, however, that's an entirely different situation.
You can't compare apples with
oranges as he had lost his job and who knows the real truth. Tragic loss of lives.

Suffice it to say, it's pretty scary out there these days with so much misery over job loss, home loss and no hope in sight. It's like the domino effect. It's all happened so fast and there is no stopping it. Certain people will act out. No doubt immigrants are much harder pressed in times such as these. Even doctors are suffering from this economy. Hard to believe but it is true.

On the menu...pork roast w/
mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. The pork roast is in the crock pot slow roasting all day while I work my fingers to the bone!! It will be served with homemade mashers with brown gravey and mixed veggies.uuuummmmm!! Can't wait til dinner. ;)
Don't listen to the old sour apples...

However, if you are starting from scratch with no medical background and no training in transcription, you are 2-3 years from making ANY kind of money even IF you can find a job at home.  It's like learning another language, the language of medicine.  If you already have a medical background and have taken terminology, a way to more quickly get into the business would be to find a single doctor doing one specialty, saying the same thing over and over.  However, if you're inexperienced it might be hard to get a doctor to trust you with his transcription.  I don't know anything about your situation, so it's hard to answer.  Any more info?


But that's not comparing apples to oranges.
2000 55-character lines is about 1700 65-character lines. Take away some more lines for unpaid headers, footers, and demographic information, and I could probably do what you're doing. Ah, so! I need to find a better employer that pays for headers, footers, demographics, and by the gross line!
Or rather it IS comparing apples to oranges. LOL

I vote for Mrs. Prindable's apples!
They're not cheap but you can get a sampler box for a better price and they're individually wrapped. And QVC.com has them too. If you decide not to get them for the teachers, at least get one for yourself! Yummmmmm!

Please dont judge all by the bad apples
Some of us are happy with what we do and are happy to lend a hand. Not all, or even the majority of us are rude. There are just a few that like the attention on these boards i think.
I'm done trying to compare apples to oranges. sm

Pork Roast "partial" recipe because I

usually never measure anything, just eyeball the ingredients, but here goes.


It all goes by taste...like it spicy? add more hot pepper. Like it sweeter? Add a bit more brown sugar.


I marinate my pork roast and/or ribs in apple juice and a little bit of apple cider vinegar (not much...you want to taste the apple, not vinegar),  for 24 hours. The vinegar helps tenderize


Then I mix a combination of dark brown sugar, white sugar, a little crushed or ground red pepper or smoked cayenne pepper (regular is okay if you don't have the smoked), a little cinnamon (not much of this either or it will overpower the other seasonings), garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, a little cumin and nutmeg powder (for smokiness) . I mix all this together and rub it into the roast. I use my stovetop smoker or rotisserie to cook the roast.


For the cinnamon is about a tsp, or what fits in the palm of your hand when you curve your hand (not piled high either), The cumin and nutmeg is really a large "pinch."


Maybe some day I will figure out the true measurements, but I've been doing this for years and just know by looking how much of each ingredient is necessary.  After a few times, you'll be able to tell how much of each ingredient to use for your taste.


Pork Roast Grill Recipe
I usually make pork chops on the girll, but I have a pork roast that I want to make on the grill and I was wondering if anyone had any recipes.  I usually marinate it but was looking to see if someone had another type of recipe using just spices and/or herbs or just something new and different I could do or have with it.  TIA.
What a dumb comparison - apples & oranges
Geez. A lot of people can't spell, and they sure as heck don't belong managing a QA department for medical transcription - correcting other people's mistakes!
you're mixing apples and beans here...sm

Some of us are heavy patriots, sons and daughters of America, but do not like what's going on in D.C.  It's as simple as that.  They are tapping 100,000+ Americans.  Do you really believe that one-third of our country is involved with terrorists?  Doubtful.....not even half that number.  This administration simply TAKES advantage at every turn...in every nook and cranny that they can.


They are the reason the work force across the USA is highly upset, doesn't matter which state, which city, nobody is a happy camper in the regular work force today in the USA.  I blame D.C.


Yes, GOD Bless the men and women who would fight for us to keep us FREE throughout history.  And I will bless the men and women who are fighting today in Iraq


....but know it's over oil....do not delude yourself. 


Just one person's opinion......we were ALL duped...approval rating as of yesterday and this includes everyone, whether reps or dems, was 29%....


Not a chowder, more like (?) pork with milk sauce/gravy. . . nm

You're comparing apples and oranges here, SandyGirl. SM
You're talking employee status in NYC. Some of us are talking IC status where we set our own rates and do the work we're most productive at.

I am settled into a comfortable routine. I know just exactly how much work I have and how long it takes me to do it.

You should really be careful about calling folks liars when you have absolutely nothing to go on but what YOU get paid. It makes you look pretty silly and uninformed.
Oh...and forgot teryaki...works great for chicken or pork. YUM YUM

Pulled Pork Roast Sandwiches with Cabbage/Slaw
I would just take that baby and rub her down with some oil, vegetable, corn, olive, etc. and rub her down with some good seasons, like a little chili powder, garlic, salt, pepper and wrap her up good and tight in some aluminum foil. Git some good hickory wood chips and once the grill starts to cool off from the hottest point, then put that baby out there and let her slow cook for about 6 hours or so. Keep it wrapped up tight so the juices do not escape and if they do, get some worchestershire, oil etc. and baste her up. When a fork separates with the meat to just strands, she is ready for some bread and some slaw/cabbage with a lil vinegar added to the slaw and a lil bbq or A1 steak sauce with a lil mustard added together is better to me and there you go, a good ole southern pulled pork roast samwich!
I need help from the cat lovers out there!

My mother has a cat that sprays horribly bad. (yes it's fixed and it's a female). It was a stray that adopted my mom. She has a couple other cats, one of which would fight with but that cat has since passed. We hoped that since that stress was gone it would stop. it hasn't.  Been to the vet, no infection. He suggested it could just be a behavioral problem.  How do you figure out if it actually is behavioral? Can't find a direct link between a particular action and her spraying and it's not usually in the same spot. She's not a big 'lover' and when she's through with you, she let's you know so we don't think it's an attention thing. any advice or websites would be greatly appreciated. any web sites I've found haven't told me how to figure out what would be causing this 'behavioral' problem or natural remedies.


HELP

tip for banana bread lovers. sm
I just disovered (thru a friend) that very ripe bananas can be frozen (in their skin) no freezer bag required to make banana bread on a future date.  I tried this, and it does work!  It is great!.  I love making banana bread for my family, but find that many times, the bananas are ripening too quick for my busy schedule.

So you bird lovers-name some of your favorite
When i got home, my parrot would ask me "being a good bird?" (as though since I had been gone, I may have been naughty).

My next favorite was when he got something especially good to eat, he would say "mmm, yum-yum!". We share spaghettis noodles and race either to the middle!

fumble fingers for music lovers

When I get like this, the only cure is to push the keyboard aside and pretend the tray is a piano and then listen to a fast piano piece and try to "play" it on the keyboard tray.  (Obviously, I don't own a piano--yet.)  This warms up my fingers and wrists, relaxes me, brings me joy if it is a favorite piece of music, and then when I type again it is usually more accurate and my speed is up.  Sounds crazy but it works for me!  Only takes about 3 minutes. 


Another trick my piano teacher taught me when I was a kid was to practice the difficult parts with gloves on (yeh, that long ago).  Then when I took off the gloves, I could play it better.  This might work for the computer keyboard as well.  You could use Playtex gloves perhaps.
