Contracts....burnout.......etc....open and read
Hello--

I was just reading your post and I do understand where you are coming from. First of all, let me start by saying I will never do a non-contracted job again and every job that I have is contracted. :)

Secondly, I know how you feel about being "stuck inside"--Yep, been there, done that....burnout. I was so ready to go to work in the big world again. So, I left transcription at home, hired a babysitter and went to work in my secondary field as a medical assistant. After three months of it, I was so ready to come back home, and I missed my transcription so badly...AND MY KIDS.

I came back home, been here again for over a year. I can say it is better this time around, I appreciate MT more and I am absolutely taking in every moment I can with my kids. At least I know when my babies get sick, I will be the one nurturing them..and bringing home a paycheck at the same time. :)

Sometimes it is hard to balance everything at once, and the thought of going back outside the home to work seems like an easy answer, but believe me, it is better to be home. :)

Typically, what Baptist churches do
in our area is have some sort of function for the kids, particularly teenagers, to keep them out of all of the drinking and that style of partying and meanness, if you will, that goes along with Halloween.  They just don't call it a Halloween party.
You can't just open the attachment. You need to save it to a file and then open SM
your wave player and load it. 
I agree depends on client. Typically
my accounts are verbatim and if I were to add temperature, etc. they would consider it padding.  I can't even put an "A" in front of a number when starting a sentence and instead of typing out the number - say fifty-six I have to use 56. 
Why dont you stop coming in and agitating everyone under all your different names. Dont you work.
:
Check out Executive Communications. Typically, their products are more

affordable than Transcription Gear.  Once you click on the link below, click on Headsets from the menu on the left, scroll down and you will see several stethoscope headsets


2-vessel cord is typically associated with heart defects. sm
The above poster gave excellent explaination. The placenta has to be inspected and found to be intact or pieces of it could have broken off before delivery, which would lead to further hemorrhage of mom eventually. There is a lot of information the placenta can tell you.
Dont you think MQ will just keep hiring new people who dont know they lost lines because they are

new. I betcha.


If you dont try to fill in blank or research, dont

The way I understand it if you dont keep below 10 to 15% QA you dont get the bonus even if your QA
score remains above 98% so you see as the other poster said you are between a rock and a hard place and I expect this is MQ way of getting out of paying a bonus to people. I see it this way anyhow. I plan to continue to send unclear things to QA and that is the way it is. I expect depending on the new pay scale on top of this they will be losing a lot of MTs anyhow as they continue to miser everyone out of money.
Do you honestly think they do. I dont. I dont think some of them can even understand some of the

 reports they listen to quite frankly.


How do I get it ST to open when escription is open?

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.

In 12 years of MT'ing I've never re-read an entire chart. Edit/read as I type. nm

Yes, I read your post, and I just re-read it, and I've copied and pasted for you in case

you've forgotten your own words! Your post above is 100% different "flavor" to it, now all positive and cheery! Your first post was 100% doom and gloom every which way, including "raining on your parade", and "if you want to go forward"...God, sounds like she's talking about jumping into oncoming traffic! Here is your quote:


My first boss (the one who hired me as a new grad) gave me some words of wisdom that I haven't forgotten. She said that transcribing at home with small children NEVER works under any circumstance. Either the work will suffer or the parenting will suffer.


****


How can the word "NEVER" in caps be interpreted in any positive way? You took about 8 paragraphs to cover every aspect and completely dash this poor woman's dream.  I'm not blind, I'm not talking about day care at all, I'm talking about the total negativity of your original post! You know exactly what I'm talking about, cause you added some sugar to your second version! And that's much nicer than the first!


I dont know. I didnt care then and I dont care now.
Just me

Oh I've read that site and continue to read it...sm
I agree...much motivation there. I have tried to quit numerous times in the past and did successfully quit when I was pregnant for the first time many years ago but I have never managed to summon up the strength or resolve to stay quit. Thus the "need" for a financial investment in my efforts. It somehow makes it more motivational to know that I have $$$ invested in this effort over and above the $$$ saved on cigarettes.
Who had time to read?LOL I only get a chance to read This Old House once in a while. (nm)

I didn't read the other posts but just read this
My daughter got pregnant at 17, said she wanted an abortion but BF didn't. I have a wonderful 2-1/2 yo grand daughter that I don't think I could live without...and now, guess what? I don't. I have custody of her. She was dropped off on my door, I got court ordered temporary custody and final custody hearing in a month.

I'm single with no family support. I had just taken a new MT job one month before this happened and they have been wonderful during my adjusting to being a mom again and I hope I can resume a normal schedule by next week.

I'm passing no moral judgments or giving moral advice. The situation is what it is. My prayers are with everyone involved.
Definitely an eye-opening read. Having my teens read it, too. nm

Going to keep this in the open
For anyone who did not read the previous.
I Already Open it
Please Tell Me How I can Remove it
Okay, this should be open to all MT's...sm
Thanks for bring me up short. This question should be open to all MT's, especially those working for other companies. Tell me what you like as well as what you dislike. If this comes about I want to try to fulfill those dreams and requirements as well as make a profit. I'm not greedy - I believe it sharing the wealth. Again, I want to get and RETAIN great employees!
Open
Express Scribe and click on Settings. Click on Files, and un-select the work file types you want the other program to open.

Or, open the program you want to use, find the equivalent settings in it, and then make sure the file types ARE selected.
This is what I was saying....the box does not always open.
My question is how do I manually open this box when it does not show up in the background or anywhere else. Thanks
Why do you want to open this?
If you don't know what this is, you probably don't need to be messing around with it, especially if you are being taken to a website that wants money to fix it for you.

If nothing was wrong with your computer before, you probably have no reason to need this. You didn't say how you ran into this, but in the event it is a scam, why don't you leave it alone.


AN OPEN NOTE TO MTS

1-Do not wonder WHY work is being sent overseas when in screening applications 20 of 25 resumes are full of errors, typos and people applying that do not come NEAR to fitting the job requirements.


2-Do not wonder WHY work is being sent overseas when you are hired to work hours YOU REQUESTED and then you do not even bother to start work, call, email, just nothing. 


3-Do not wonder WHY work is being sent overseas when you are tested and screened only to find out that several "friends of friends" circulated the test around and while you do wonderfully on the test, now in the real situation, you can not figure out the difference between discrete and discreet.


4-Do not wonder WHY you were given less and less work, but take a look at the quality of work you produced...full of blanks, not formatted to specifications in the manual sent, skipped reports.  When Q*A has to redo 90% of your work, it is easier to quietly phase you out than to continue to "train" a supposedly seasoned MT


5-Do not wonder WHY you were taken off an account, but look at the feedback you were given regarding the continued mistakes with spelling (you do not use the spellcheck as too time consuming - your words), continued mistakes with doctors signatures, names, formats, phrases.  Your position is to "pound out lines" and not worry about the quality. 


6-Do not wonder WHY no one will hire you...after all, MTSOs communicate with each other too and the same names just seem to cycle through


7-Do not wonder WHY companies look overseas for workers...because at least THEY want to work.  They are not taking days off at a time with no notice...leaving a company and client in the lurch. 


8-Do not wonder WHY your resume was not answered...you applied before, were tested before and never bothered to answer emails regarding hiring...never bothered to start on your start date...resumes are kept and note made of why someone that seemed very qualified was not hired.


9-Do not wonder WHY you were not hired...remember me?  I am the one that tested you, screened you, then talked to you for quite some time on the phone interviewing you.  Remember me?  I am the one you "sold" yourself to as far as being ethical, good worker, etc., only to find out that you received the hiring package, then contacted the client directly and suddenly, you did not want the job and then I see you are working FOR THEM....


10-Do not wonder WHY you were not hired after taking the test...take a look at the test results and the responses back you made like "that is how I have always done it" and I do not think you are correct because that is not how I was told or trained to do it.


11-Do not wonder WHY you were quietly let go...check your invoices and the inflated lines and/or hours on there?  The system SHOWS the reports you ran, lines you did, but you continue to add report numbers not done by you and lines not done by you.  AND for bonus hours...you continue to add bonuses that were not earned.


12-Do not wonder WHY I cringe when it comes time to hire again..I cringe because of every MT out there that shows NO RESPECT to a potential employer now or down the road by ignoring remails.....receiving a test, but never taking it...getting a test graded and offered position but never responds back....going through entire hiring process with access codes, start dates and times but then NEVER even starts...or the ones that we PAY a computer guy to get set up and they never start working...or we send software and equipment to and then never get it back or have a legal fight to get it back.


There are two sides to ever story, this I know, but as an MTSO the above are simply a FEW of the hundreds of things experienced in trying to hire just ONE good MT....


How do you open up that .lex file to....sm
copy/paste it into MS Word?  When I try opening it, it asks what format do I want and every option I've tried hasn't worked.

open your pea brain :)

he comes from the ghetto, his family still lives in the ghetto, he's trying to help kids in the ghetto......and you want him in a TIE, TUX, and TAILS?  He is dancing for a charity.  That's all he's there for.  To get $$ toward his charity of helping kids in and around the ghetto.


Perhaps you want him to dress like the late Fred Astaire? 


Get real.................


It certainly is a thorn! Don't open any of it, though.
That's why I got concerned, and still concerned even with this SpamBayes, as there could be a virus in some of it.  Also, hackers may be trying to get into your stuff, maybe all they need is for you/ me to click on it and to get information, don't know all of it, but I won't open any of their stupid email. 
We did our last one over an open pit for hours...
and it was sooo yummy. It was so tender. 
Unscrew it, open it up, and sm
splice it with scotch tape.  You won't loose much of the sound on it.
Open mind
With all due respect for your opinion, people from all extremes of thought, are what make this country great. As Americans, we should question everything our leaders do. For too long, politicians have tried to conceal information, or conceal an agenda from the American public. The public is growing up as a whole, and it is becoming wise to the manipulation by government, and those in charge of great power. There is great danger in this, and we should not become a complacent society. We should not be expected to accept explanations so easily, and create a society where we are not allowed to explore issues. Michael Moore is every bit as American as you or I. Many people do not like the policies by our government. Many people will speak out against those policies and protest. That does not make one anti-American. It is because many of us, including Michael Moore, who I may not necessarily agree with, have strong feelings about being an American that we protest what we feel goes against our definition of what America is about - freedom, justice, and the pursuit of happiness. This is the problem today, which I find disturbing - many people pledge unquestionable loyalty to our leaders who have too much power and abuse it, and then there are those of us who feel devotion and passion for America's ideals and constitution, and protest any sense of suppression from government. Remember our founding fathers, and what many suffered and sacrificed. They rebelled against government that was too harsh and unfair, and fought to uphold their freedom. This is what America is all about.

I have no idea what post you are talking about though.


I am open to all suggestions.
I have not removed it from the system but my boss should be in touch with me on Monday. They installed and I will pass that by them. BTW, have you had to removed and then reinstall- have you had any problems? I have XP with 1.5 gig and the other - not sure but had installed what computer person there at company suggested and still horrifice problems.
do u HAVE to open it - it has adware! - sm
WARNING: WinZix is advertised as a compression tool however it appears from analysis of the files produced that it simply adds information to a file so that WinZix needs to be installed to access it. The program contains an adware component that must be installed with the program and the EULA for that component says you cannot use anti-adware software against it. In addition, use of such software may damage the component and make it difficult to remove. FILExt has removed links to this software and advises that you install it AT YOUR OWN RISK. If you receive a "compressed" ZIX file you are advised to warn the sender and ask them to resend the file in a more conventional format (e.g., ZIP). .....
Open Message for ALL MTs - sm

Happy Medical Transciptionist Week to each and eveyone of you.  Your dedication to your profession is, in my opinion, admirable.  I wish I could do what you do.  The knowledge you carry with you each day, the amount of patience and attention to every detail is beyond belief.  I cannot imagine getting up out of bed every day and doing what you do each and every time you sit before your PC.  I am a mere radiology/Diagnostic Imaging MT.  They tried to cross-train me for discharge summaries, clinic notes, psychiatric notes, etc....and I almost went out of my mind.  I have nothing but the utmost respect for you all and for all you do and know how to do.  I just wanted to say this to you during MT week, and wish you all the best.  My hat is truly off to all of you.  You all deserve to take a bow!! 


 


Sincerely.....


 


 


re open message
Thank you so much. After having a very frustrating day with my acute care job, it is so nice to hear that. Please don't discount yourself. I also started in radiology. I then went to a medical group and three years later went to acute care. It has been three years since starting acute care. I thought I would never get it, but I worked hard and am hanging in there doing a more than fair job.
just like people who don't NM at the end to let you know no need to open! NM
