the country for medical care/dental treatment. A man went to some Eastern European country for dental care. Even with airfare it was cheaper there and that many other countries, including India, were starting to market themselves as a place for affordable healthcare for foreigners.

Leaving this Saturday for a week...
in Bethany Beach, DE. My parents rent the house and my family of 5 and my sister's family of 4 plus Mom and Dad all go together. The beach is almost in our back yard and there is outlet shopping paradise in Rehobeth, not to mention seafood, seafood, seafood! Can't wait!
Give them a week's written notice...I'll be leaving xx/xx, please forward final check to . t
why would you have to say anything else?
I heard it on local news....sm
but assumed it would be something most local news stations would carry...if I heard it correctly. I use mine as a credit all the time too.
I heard about it too, but on the news a night or two ago
they said no set amounts had been made yet, but that Congress was going to work fast on it to get it approved.
I heard it on the news this morning.

I heard this on the news a couple of years ago, or maybe it was
Paul Harvey. Graduates of the Naval Academy received diplomas with "Navel" Academy on them and they all had to be reprinted. You would think with something like that they would have someone proof and reproof before it went to final printing, and then proof again after printing.
Along with spelling errors that drive me nuts, bad grammar makes me cringe. When I hear someone say "I seen" it is like fingernails on the blackboard.
I heard on the news this morning that this group ....
Will no longer be going to the funerals. Thank goodness. They got the airtime they had requested, Not that many people will even listen to their out-of-this-world beliefs.
Thanks all!
On an Atlanta area news report last week they said...sm
that this winter it probably would be cheaper to use one to supplement the main heating source but of course people have to use caution with space heaters because of the increased fire risk.
I heard a news report predicting that prices will
YIKES!!
Dad was in the hospital an hour away from NYC having a stent put in. Heard the news on the way

That is exactly what I heard this past week
the FHA is there to help people out and you should absolutely check with them. Good advice.
As a matter of fact, I just heard of that last week.
I must be in a bubble. That was only the second time I heard that and I had to ask my girlfriend what she meant by that. Can you tell I work a lot and am always running with my teens. I don't get out much or watch television, so I really didn't know what metrosexual meant until just recently.
Just heard on the news that Dana Reeve (Christopher Reeve's widow) has cancer. That's so sad.

I have heard many people say that, which is the
main reason I haven't purchased it.
I have heard that people don't realize how...
socially demanding those kinds of birds can be. They NEED attention, they CRAVE attention, and they get mad if they are ignored. They can be very demanding. I would research that aspect before diving in. Too many people have to get rid of parrots because they can't handle them.
Have heard hosp.pay people to sit with pts.

I agree because I have heard this from many people - sm
Husband as the doctor and wife as the office manager is often a recipe for disaster. I have seen it work a time or two, but more often than not they have this arrangement to save a few bucks and the wife has NO idea about office management, but guess what? Hubby/doc is too busy seeing patients and she runs the show, with often disastrous results. I say run while you can...PLENTY of places looking for qualified medical help with fewer hassles too most likely.
Yep, but MT week IS. and i bet people complain if they arent recognized. :(
:(
I heard it was awful, by numerous people who saw it.

I've heard people have to try a new food 10 times before they know for sure they won't like it
I heard that somewhere.
I had a SIL who actually SAT on her young children and force-fed them new foods if they refused them at the table. We were appalled, but weirdly, the kids often got up from the floor and happily ate the food they were just force-fed!
I have heard so many people rationalize cherrypicking and seen too many supervisors not deal with i
It's a scourge on this profession ... like the folks who gratefully accept absurdly dreadful line rates because -- "it's better than nothing"
It's why we're all making LESS than we did 10 years ago, 15 years ago ... made worse because that's even without adjusting for inflation ...
I heard they were not nice to work for. Knew people who have worked there and left.
This is secondhand information, but I trust the people that told me this.
I don't know! I've heard people live longer with a healthy sex life.

oh good grief. Haven't we heard enuf of this? Educated people are just
Is there engineer week? Astronaut week? Veterinarian week?

just checked i-mail. no news. how did you get your news?
love,
frank
News flash..Don't know where you get your news, but the economy is doing very well.
s
My theory is no news is good news. (sm)
If there is really a problem with your transcription, then I would not worry about it. They will get to you if you screw up.
As far as policies and procedures, look in your manual. I am sure they gave you info for all of that stuff. JMO.
I have good news and bad news 4U...
The good news is on Saturday, July 1 many of your least favorite residents will be "graduating." The bad news is that on the same day you'll be getting a virtual box of candy with brand new residents who have no clue how to dictate! RU excited?? ARGHHHH!!!! 
Typically this week is a slow week in lots of places
because it is a big vacation week. Typically things slow dow a bit in the summer too because people are putting off elective surgery, but at the same time lots of people going on vacation so it should balance out.
Lowest runs $900 week, highest $1400 week (sm)
Get paid 12 CPL. Been doing transcription for about 12 years.
if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.
As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
I work 6 days a week every other week
Due to my company's payroll (it runs Sun-Sat), I'm able to work a rotating schedule with every other weekend off. Week 1 I work Sunday through Thursday with Fri, Sat, Sun off. Week 2 I work Monday through Friday with Saturday only off. Then I'm back to week 1 and get that following weekend off.
I've found that I'm more productive with shorter shifts and I have kids in school anyway, so I work a lot of split shifts during the week. If possible, you might want to consider cutting back your hours to 30 hours and just work five 6-hour days in split shifts, 3 in the morning and 3 in the evening.
I WASN'T GUESSING. I HEARD WHAT I HEARD VERY CLEARLY.
I don't even agree with what QA said, but they are QA. Question them, and your out the door.
Leaving MQ
A friend of mine left MQ and went back into a hospital setting. She went from barely making 1200 lines a day to over 2000 a day (8 hours). She also went from statuatory with no benefits to all the perks of being in-house including insurance, vacation, 401K, paid holidays, etc. She was also offered after training the opportunity to work from her home which she took. She is so happy. 
Leaving MQ?

Leaving this
Hi Romey, you're not alone. I've done this for 20 years and I find I can't even look at it anymore because of some of the things that have happened in the field. Don't know what to tell you to do because I'm searching too. I should have listened to my common sense a long time ago.
Please consider leaving
Your local police department can give you information on shelters or organization that can put you and your kids in a safe place until you get on your feet. If he is abusing you, you must also consider calling the police on him so the abuse is documented. I'm sure you know of the fatalities that happen everyday due to domestic abuse. Please take action. If he is abusing your children and someone else finds out about it and reports your husband, they can arrest you as well for having knowledge of the fact that your kids are being abused and doing nothing about it.
My heart goes out to you. I have a background in counseling and had sessions with women for years who were being abused. It frustrated me to see these women twice a month for counseling because all they wanted to do was talk about how their spouse continued to abuse them but they wouldn't do anything about it. Your kids will always remember what they are going through. This type of environment often scars children emotionally as well as physically. They can grow up to have major psychological issues as a result.
Life is too short to be miserable everyday. He is not accentuating your life in any way. He is taking from you in every way possible. I beg you to give serious thought to removing yourself from this situation. I know it may feel like you are jumping without a parachute but think of it this way...how much worse could it get? Things can only get better.
Take care.

Yep, I left. It was NOT easy. Some days i did not think I was gonna make it -- but you know what? I left a big farmhouse and live in a small 2-bedroom apartment. But it is near everything - the library, the school, etc. At first my daughter threw a fit......and my son cried. But a month later...everybody is much much happier. Now, when I walk out of my peaceful car to my peaceful door and lay on my rent-a-center peaceful couch -- I think.....God...where is the screaming? How did I stand it that long? No one is mad around here? And my children are adapting perfectly. And I walk in my room, take off my clothes, lay on my bed and grab a book and read...and it is pure joy. Worth every tear. You'll see. All of us..all of us -- we want you to have the peace that you need and that your babies will thrive with. It's tough..but you are gonna make it.
Did she say why she was leaving sm
I know Star and Rosie don't get along. What did she say? I haven't had time to watch in a couple of weeks.

Leaving MT
Fellow MTs, I am leaving our once-esteemed position. I am taking a position as a trainer at a large national insurance company. More money than I've ever made, lots of paid time off plus holidays, and weekends off. It's been 10 years since I've had a "real job" and had not had to work weekends and holidays.
They are playing for my airline tickets, my accommodations, food and car while stationed away from home. I am one lucky duck.
I used to love doing MT, but it has been a challenge for me the past 2-3 years to stay focused. To all of you who still love the job, I say hurray! This is a blessing for me to make this move at this point in my life and I'm very grateful. I intend to enjoy every moment of it.
Bye, all!
Leaving MT
Congratulations on your new job! There is a time and a season to everything in life, and this is your season for change. God bless you.
Leaving MT
You know what? I just cannot do this anymore. My last day was 12/31/06. I am moving in a different direction--not sure what all yet, but I just cannot transcribe any more. After 17 years of listening to doctors chew, and waiting--listening to silence--with my pay rate DROPPING over the years  , not increasing--I have to leave.
There's only a tiny, tiny part of me that feels sad--it's the part of me that was so overjoyed to be able to do this at home and be here when my children were little. I really thought I would keep doing this forever. Recently, though, I just cannot do it anymore! One day I woke up and had had enough!
I am working on some things here at home that I had going. Some home businesses, things I make, etc.
I just wanted to say BYE.

leaving MT
I wish you the best. I know how you feel. After more than 20 years I too will be leaving transcription. Transcription is just not what it used to be.
Leaving MT
I've already left and felt kind of blue but after reading so many posts here, I feel a relief also. No money in it anymore and I have done this for 35 years! Now I'll turn my attention to sewing, selling on E-Bay, whatever, to keep myself active. Good luck!
Speaking to yourself? Because I'm not leaving here ... :)
..
My son is leaving for the Air Force
I am so proud of him, yet so worried with the situation the world is in right now. Please pray for him if you would!
thinking of leaving too
My hands are always killing me and i'm not as focused as I used to be. Plus i'm in school and having something going on the side. But I need to keep a full time job, so i've been looking in the local papers in the health care sections. CNAs make 8 bucks an hour!!! Geez, we get paid more than actual caregivers, but my hand pain is so out of control I may have to take a caregiver job or get certified as a CNA or nutrition specialist and take a pay cut.
Um, didn't I say I was leaving?

Sorry leaving address
I have almost five years experience, still probably considered a newbie when I see some with almost 5 to 6 times that much. But I just wanted to email someone who knows more about transcriptions companies than I do at present.
Finally leaving MQ
Finally leaving MQ. Will miss the nice people but not the new changes. Thanks everyong on this board for your help. It's kind of scary to make a change, but what the heck. It won't matter in 10 years.
