things you said, but the key words you stated are it takes time and experience, which is what I'm not getting by being taken off an account I'm just starting to get familiar with. Again, I have worked this field for 6-7 years and have worked for other MTSOs, and this is a first. As you said, you HAD to get used to it...not that it was right or decent for them to do this, just that you HAD to. Which is where their power lies in treating MTs so abdominably. Reminds me of the coal miners who HAD to buy from the company's general store. As I said before, if I'm paid hourly I'll do anything you ask, but in this situation they are asking us to LOSE money for THEIR profit.

That's encouraging.
The double dating was mean. When they disrespect you, they love to let the whole world know.

Glad you were able to meet someone nicer and especially someone secure with himself. Didn't know that existed. ha!

Thanks for your message.

Now THAT'S encouraging
I'm glad I posted and heard some feedback from people who actually feel that MT is still an enjoyable career choice.

Though I do realize that the majority of posts here are not negative in nature, it just seems that those are the ones that stick with me. Just beginning my education, I come here in search of a view of what I can expect, good and bad, but admit I do get discouraged to see the series of "I'm getting out of this" with replies of "right behind you!".

Thanks for your posts, your honesty, and, yes, even your venting.

that's encouraging
that you've had such a good experience. No, i hadn't checked the control panel -- but will. I had to disconnect and go back to old MS clunker to get the day done first....

Encouraging
Thank you so much for the wonderful post and the encouragement to not give up on a profession that I truly love!

Thank you so much for such an encouraging note!

I am going through a separation from my husband. He thinks a sacrifice is giving up going to the local bar when he gets of work, giving up his drunk he has on a daily basis, and just all in all growing up and taking on responsibilities.

I have been so down and depressed lately that I have to FORCE myself to work.

Thank you for being the angel on my shoulder today!

Thanks for your encouraging words

I'll keep trying. I really hope that something comes of it. I'm surprise at how many people have had success at it. With living in Las Vegas and working at home, the chances of meeting someone good are slightly diminished on my own.

Encouraging post.
I am definitely encouraged by your post and no it isn't easy. I decided to leave twice. The first time I packed my things, and my daughter passed away days later before I could find somewhere for us to go (11 yrs old). The second time I decided to leave, I ended up in the hospital from blood clots in the lung, systems failing, etc., and still recovering. I am now getting strong enough to consider it again. However, not totally there yet but today was just one of those days I felt very annoyed. However, it helps to read about others' success stories.

Continued success to you and thanks for your message.

TY

Such encouraging posts!
Wonderful to read such inspiring posts! Thanks to all!!

Thanks for the encouraging words
Thanks to those who shared words of encouragement. Hopefully, someday I will have gotten over this hump and be able to help others in my current shoes.

P.S. The 90-minute report/getting knocked out of your chair must have been a nightmare! Makes for a good story to share now though. :)

She has been encouraging MTs who are complaining..
such as yourself, to look in the mirror and take some accountability for ourselves...nothing negative about that...

Thank you!....that's very encouraging to hear !

Hey, I admire you! I am 50, my DD is in college, and is always encouraging me to go, SM
I just don't know what to study! I am thinking of culinary arts.

Real encouraging there! How did your response help OP at all?

If you have been successful at encouraging your child
My son, almost 19, has wanted to be in law enforcement since he was about 5. Lately, though, his motivation has been waning. Of course, he has a girlfriend, who incidentally *hates to work*. We really want him to consider joining the Air Force, get his college and training, finish his tour, and come home to work at the sheriff's department (I know, I'm probably dreaming right...). If you've been successful at encouraging your child this way, please share your experience and advice.

Thanks. That is encouraging. My biggest concern is
visiting family at holidays and other times. Do you bring some of your own food or just pick and choose from what is offered? Or do you go "off the lifestyle" and then make up for the damage later?

A helping hand, sure. Not encouraging MT to

"American" Association - yet they are encouraging outsourcing?

My group gets encouraging emails and thank you notes
I guess I'm mature enough to read it and if it does not apply to me, ignore it the language in it and use the intent to make sure I am cautious.

Wanting encouraging, up-lifting friends who
make me a bad person. Sometimes it is better to be a friend who stands firm in believe MT can help herself than to be a bleeding heart that just keeps MT down by agreeing nothing can change, the situation will always be hard and why try to change it. If I was in a bad place, I would need friends to help me be brave and do what I had to do to change things.

Isn't it refreshing to see some UPLIFTING, ENCOURAGING posts for a change ??

I believe you may touch Frank on a personal level if you e-mail him. He is after all encouraging us
to ask him questions and to call him by his first name as did our beloved ex-CEO Gregg. Try this link. If Frank is truly our kind of guy, he will answer your personal questions and problems.

any encouraging words for a newbie with crappy line counts?
Today is my 3rd day of "real" work (not school) and I did 482 lines in 5.5 hours. That averages out to about 87 lines an hour.

How many lines per hour did you average at first? How long did it take to get faster?

I accepted an acute care position to get more experience, but now I'm wondering if I should have gone for a company offering clinic notes accounts ...

Please tell me it gets better!
