fedex/usps
I have encountered this scenario as there are still "tapes" floating around out there. I have had docs and other professionals send me tapes by FedEx and United States Postal Service (next day) which is considerably cheaper than FedEx, and for security purposes I make sure that the items require a signature, and not that they are simply dropped on my doorstep. And upon return by email, I've used a variety of email programs and file transfers etc. and beyond encryption, you can also leave the patient info off in places where if the files were intercepted, there would be no names or social security numbers. So, while this may seem like an archaic way to still be doing business, not everyone is up to speed with FTPs or using digital recordings that can be more easily transferred. So, it comes to the point where you are just making sure that you and the doctor (or other such client) are doing your very best to keep security at top-notch. I know local transcriptionists who still have "lockboxes" on their doors or mailboxes for tape and document dropoff, and so it's not an entirely digital world yet, so we just have to do the very best we can with security with what we are dealing with. Good luck with your account, and I'm serious USPS (next day) is far cheaper than FedEx and works in most areas for daily deliveries, and will save you and your client a few pennies.
:)
I would just contact UPS, FEDex, Mail Box,
DHL, etc. and get quotes. If they have been in your family, you don't want to let them go. It might cost a little, but would be less trouble and they would be insured should something happen to them.
FedEx it overnight. It's insured and there when you arrive.
How bout....
Taking one Sunday (or a day you are not working) and make a bunch of casseroles, crockpot foods, etc. and freezing them? Pull out of fridge, thaw, cook, eat! AND HEALTHIER
Sorry bout that!
Then Welcome!
Sorry bout that
Sorry... I have two forums open at once.
LOL that would be somE..sorry bout that!!

how bout now
So, granted, you guys didn't take the hit that the editors did, but do you believe it now or do you think it is still a hoax? We were just trying to give y'all the heads up that we didn't get and got trashed for it. We're all too good for that place.
dis aint bout me
I was consistently getting 1200 lpd after transcribing for 6 months on a very difficult VA account. I think MQ'ers just like to whine. Take whining out of your vocabulary and make so $$$.
I went through a bout of this years ago. sm
Try not to crook your arms too much while transcribing. If you can possibly pull your chair out farther, that ought to help. If you have arms on your typing chair, try removing them and don't rest your arms on tables, etc. Driving will aggravate this condition, too, as arms are crooked too much. Good luck.
Mine did get better with the adjustments I suggested above.
How bout meatballs???
I have made meatballs in the crock pot and it couldn't be easier. Use your favorite homemade meatball recipe, brown them in a frying pan, and place them in your crockpot with a couple jads or so of your favorite sauce (depending on how big your crockpot is). In about 2 or 3 hours your meatballs are done and the sauce tastes totally homemade!!! No need to stir the meatballs so they never break apart. Good luck on whatever you decide to make!!! 
Ok, how bout this? She came here turn off the

Let the next MT refuse him also. Be open bout
I dont consider this cherrypicking. Just straight up refusing to do a doctor who has no regard for me or his pts if he is going to dictate in a manner that is indecipherable. Again, I am in this for the money just like MTSO. I am not here to work for mere pennies an hour. There are plenty of jobs out there. The MTSO can get rid of me over 1 crappy doctor or keep me, knowing I know the platform, etc. If MTSO would rather have 1 crappy doctor or a darn good MT, whatever. Again, it is hard to find a good MT, crappy dictators are a dime a dozen. Let the next MT refuse him or not. It is here decision. Mine is to ask to be taken off so I can make money just like the MTSO.
OK, then how bout sharing some of the wonderful co's you have found....sm
How bout sharing the co's you are finding that offer experienced MTs, more than .09/65 char.... cause that' sall I'm finding. And on top of that will be ESL crap... And that is not what I've been used to!! Discouraged, disappointed, and upset!!
But poster talking bout working through MTSO,

sorry bout the typo... too early and kids not cooperating this morning....
Let me know if you have any questions.
okay, now I'm a little worried....
my husband is on a boat...sort of a boat....which is docked on LA coast. He wasn't worried yesterday as he was talking to me on a pay phone, but he was also getting drenched by torrential rain.
all I can do is pray, I guess
Sorry I had you worried.
I won't let it happen again.
worried
I`m so sorry to hear you all are losing your accounts. It`s really scary, I have been looking for some type of employment since December and still nothing. I was working as a receptionist at a Independent doctor`s office and and because of lack of money and to try to safe money he joined in with another doctor in his office, which had a full staff so most of us lost are jobs. Anyway with all this happening I decided to go to MT school which starts the end of this month, but after reading all the posting`s on here of lost jobs, YIKES! I`m wondering if this is the way to go. In other words I am now scared, worried, and very concerned and just don`t know what to do.
What is going on in the health care field? 
I'm not worried . . .
Those who would bash someone for trying to question a system that is obviously not working very well are people which I refer to as sheep . . . the ones who don't want to buck the system because they're afraid of losing their way. We would still be living in caves if it weren't for those people who had the guts to question and demand accountability.
I was worried about that, too, but...
It looks like you have the option of keeping a minimum-payment land line account for emergencies. You use the same phone for ooma and land calls. You can keep your own phone number if you keep your land line. It sounds pretty amazing.
I got a little pay-as-you-go cell phone awhile back, so I suppose I would just use that to call 911 if I gave up my land line.
I'm not worried.
I'm not worried about any American MT taking my job. I'm very good at what I do. I like my employer and really don't want to be the one to subject them to some of the nasty folks on this board.
Worried?
Yes, EMR seems like the most worrisome of the threats to our jobs. But I had a client who doesn't use us anymore but does use EMR and they have not been able to get rid of their MTs because all EMR can't be done with a punch screen. There are so many variables that some of it needs to be dictated. Now if Kaiser is not dictating and just doing EMR then their records are suffering but Kaiser is an entity unto itself and it makes up its own rules and patient care is in the toilet at Kaiser.
Whew! You had me worried there
I have been worried about my job as well and tired of the pay..
I have been concerned with the MT field as well. I originally got started in this profession to be able to be at home and work when I have children. So far no kids have come along but I have found something else to do in addition to transcribing at home. Visit www.thefreshairshop.com if you are interested. :-)
I figured you must be worried....sm
I know you're worried and I don't even know you. However, knowing insurance, if you go before the insurance kicks in, they (the insurance after it kicks in) will see this as a preexisting condition and may not cover future treatment. IF you can wait 12 days (because even if it was serious, and it may not be serious, 12 days won't make any difference, outside of possibly allaying your fears). 12 days will gallop by!!! I feel bad for you because you're anxious and I'm the same way about these things. Hope you do well !!!!! 
Thank you for posting! I was so worried about
you! I am very proud of you, too! It is unbelievable and sickening, literally, how bad withdrawal is from simple pain meds. It WILL get better, I promise! And, again, we are not addicts - the body simply gets dependent on pain meds, as well as some blood pressure pills, antiseizure meds, and more. The stigma of being on pain meds can be so devastating as well, but you have nothing to be ashamed about! Please do keep us posted!
You had me worried there for a minute! :)
I make a point to take my lunch "breakette" out on the deck. or I'll go stark raving mad! 
I too am worried about the future of MT BUT......
Am I the only one here who thinks this article has nothing to do with us? We ARE NOT simply word processors or data-entry keyers. This says nothing about medical transcriptionists. Just my opinion.
Yep, but they said that about XP, too, so I am not too worried anymore.
n
I'm not worried, but I guess you SM
don't see that not doing everything you can before going to a word board is really lazy, plus it abuses the poor people who do go there to help out.
I am just not worried about VR, EMR, the sky falling and on and on
If the entire medical field goes kerplunk, all you can do is pick yourself off, get another job really fast and heave ho. What else? I have had 2 jobs pulled out from underneath me and I am still here. You can make it also. No use in worrying. I lost a very profitable job to outsourcing years ago and now don’t worry about the fate of Mting.
Aren't you worried
About viruses and stuff? I've heard about this before and it seems like a fantastic deal, but I'm still a little scared that something really awful could happen to my computer by downloading these programs.
I am not worried about being underbid
most MTs are underpaid; I've seen some pretty crappy MTs and actually the really great ones are few and far between. Too many people get into MT for the sole reason that they want to stay home with their kids. They look at it as a way to work from home, and that's it. You get out of it what you put into it. But I know when I didn't make much money I didn't waste my time whining about it. If I had spent my time complaining about it like people on this board were, I would have been stuck right there where I was and I'd still be there.
if you are so worried about it, why don't you call and ask for God sakes!
Why do you care? It doesn't concern you. How much money they have has nothing to do with you. The fact that she presses the media and gives a lot of interviews, lets the media follow her around, etc. is the reason why there is interest in the story. She MAKES it a story.
I don't understand why you would be upset that a mother is getting media coverage for searching for her lost child? Are you jealous of her money or something?
What kind of damage that far in? I am not really worried about
the house falling in on us. The only thing that reall concerns me is the possibility of tornadoes. When Alicia came through, she was only a 3, but she had around 30 tornadoes. That is what concerns me.
Are you worried about possible MT job market glut then? I am...

meant *Aren't you worried...
Thank you both so much. I have been with MQ for 2 years. I'm worried about the new expander....
I currently use SmarType and I guess it will not switch over. Do you use the Expander that is with DQS? Do they give you directions on how to do the "standard" auto correct. My TC said if you are computer literate, you should do fine.
I really don't think any of us were worried about you stealing our job - however if we had made t
comments about how easy your profession was, how uneducated you were, how it was just something we could all do in our spare time for a little extra spending money - I think you would understand. BTW - some of us may have as much college as you do. I wasn't bashing you, but I did feel you were bashing us.
Thanks, I'm worried that my plan was going to be taking on too much nm

I am not worried about what other people make... sm
What bothers me is that people post about how there wages are so low, their income is low, and it discourages the new people in the field before they get a chance to see for themselves what they can or cannot do. I just really do not see how people can not type more than 75-100 lines an hour if they are really working their job. I consistently type 350-400 lines an hour for 6 hours a day. That averages me to $35-40 an hour - which is way over minimum wage.
I'd be worried about fire issues... (n/msg)

Thanks. I'm not really overly worried, just kinda
wanted confirmation of others who have done the same thing. Have no experience doing this kind of thing is all. I'll be taking to my sup when she gets back off PTO.
Enjoy your trip to California!
Its not that I'm worried about bidding, but if the seller is ugly in
response to neutral or negative feedback I don't wan to deal with them, I don't care if they have a 99% rating. Sure there may be hundreds of positives, but it is their response that I'm looking for to see if I want to deal with this person/company.
For those worried about outsourcing in India, I took this from MQ board.
MS size=2>Congress today announced that the office
of President of the United States of America
will be outsourced to India as of January 21, 2006.
The move is being made to save the President's $400,000
yearly salary, and also a record $521 billion in deficit expenditures and related overhead the office has
incurred during the last 5 years. We believe this
is a wise move financially. The cost savings should be significant, stated Congressman Thomas Reynolds (R-WA).
Reynolds, with the aid of the Government Accounting
Office, has studied outsourcing of American jobs extensively.
We cannot expect to remain competitive on the world stage
with the current level of cash outlay, Reynolds noted.
Mr. Bush was informed by email this morning of his
termination. Preparations for the job move have been
underway for sometime. Gurvinder Singh of Indus Teleservices, Mumbai, India, will be assuming the office of President
as of January 21st. Mr. Singh was born in the United
States while his Indian parents were vacationing at
Niagara Falls, thus making him eligible for the
position. He will receive a salary of $320 (USD)
a month but with no health coverage or other benefits.
It is believed that Mr. Singh will be able to handle
his job responsibilities without a support staff.
Due to the time difference between the US and India,
he will be working primarily at night, when few
offices of the US Government will be open.
Working nights will allow me to keep my day job at
the American Express call center, stated Mr. Singh in an
exclusive interview. I am excited about this position.
I always hoped I would be President someday.
A Congressional spokesperson noted that while Mr. Singh
may not be fully aware of all the issues involved
in the office of President, this should not be a
problem because Bush was not familiar with the issues either.
Mr. Singh will rely upon a script tree that will enable
him to respond effectively to most topics of concern.
Using these canned responses, he can address common
concerns without having to understand the underlying issues at all. We know these scripting tools work, stated the spokesperson. President Bush has used them successfully for years.
Bush will receive health coverage, expenses, and salary until
his final day of employment. Following a two week waiting period, he will be eligible for $240 a week unemployment for 13 weeks. Unfortunately he will not be eligible for Medicaid, as his unemployment benefits will exceed the allowed limit.
Mr. Bush has been provided the outplacement services of
Manpower, Inc. to help him write a resume and prepare
for his upcoming job transition. According to Manpower,
Mr. Bush may have difficulties in securing a new position
due to limited practical work experience. A Greeter
position at Wal-Mart was suggested due to Bush's extensive experience shaking hands and smiling no matter what the circumstances.
Another possibility is Bush's re-enlistment in the Texas Air National Guard. His prior records are conspicuously vague
but should he choose this option, he would likely be
stationed in Waco, TX for a month, before being sent to
Iraq, a country he has visited. I've been there, I know
all about Iraq, stated Mr. Bush, who gained invaluable
knowledge of the country in a visit to the Baghdad Airport's terminal and gift shop. Sources in Baghdad and Falluja say
Mr. Bush would receive a warm reception from local Iraqis.
They have asked to be provided with details of his arrival
so that they might arrange an appropriate welcome.
