I would tell them to pack sand
With an attitude from a doctor like that, I would refuse to do his work. There is plenty of other work out there, and there are plenty of other MTs out there. I'm sure the doctor could find someone willing to put up with his crap and I could find someone willing to show some courtesy and respect for my time. Again, I admit I am living under a rock, but I just don't see why it has to be so difficult, and why we should have to put up with so much nonsense. We are all human beings, allegedly on the same team, so why can't we work together? Is it a power struggle? If it is, I'll lose becuase I don't need to be the bigger person; I need to be able to understand the dictator so I can transcribe the report.
head in the sand conservatives
and...these head in the sand conservative neocons dont know what they are talking about when they want to blame the victim and her family.  Figures, the ones who say they are compassionate christians blaming the victim.  Thank God for liberals, the ones who see the forest for the trees.
I hope you raise holy sand! nm

What is your problem?!! You can stay with your head in the sand, or sm
you can check the world around you and do better for yourself.

Anytime anyone says good things on this board, they are shot down with negativity.

Personally, it is fair to say an MT or Editor can charge anything price they want if the client will pay it.

What part of this do you have a problem with?

This response was to the Shocking Math response. Why are you so doubtful all of the time?

coneyisland girl - get your head out of the sand - look around you =
there are parts of this country that are not too far off from that! For god sakes, take a trip to Harlem. Take a look at some of the inner cities in THIS country (remember, the one you work and live in). Take a look at some of the Indian reservations across the country (excluding the whole casino crap stuff) and take a look at some of the small towns, like the ones in Ohio, where people are standing on line just to get food donations because the companies outsourced the only jobs in their towns!!

I cannot believe that the government gives these Indians $600,000 to start a business and does not give the US hardly anything to start a business! Please, I beg of you, do not tell us to pity third world countries. Believe me, President Bush is making sure that they get our jobs and all our business opportunities. So 10 years from now, we will be a third world country.

I'm so upset and hurt by your post that I have to get off this site for awhile.

I'd do a neutral sand/bone color because of the blue

Not heartless...just a bully who likes to kick sand
Please....there is no justification for your behavior, don't try to come here and defend your disgusting behavior.  This woman is crying out for real help...not some quick, off the cuff, hurtful remark.  I feel sorry for you. 
My head is not in the sand - I am a very wise and "shrewd" individual
as far as jobs go. You are entitled to your opinion; however, Dictaphone is not the best VR software out there. I work on the best, and believe me, the hospitals will need MT/editors for a long time. Maybe not 30 years, but I make enough money to put at least 4K away a month, so by the time I can retire, I will have a hefty savings account to live on.

I am getting while the getting is good!

Good luck with your nursing career!
We have a gunite pool as opposed to vinyl/sand liner..
The gunite is definitely more expensive, but lasts much longer.  I'm in NH and I see signs for gunite pools starting at 19,900 around here, but I have no idea what that includes. As usual, the advertisement and the actual cost out the door are probably too different things.  Also, expect your electric bill to hit the roof even if you run the filter only 12 hrs out of 24.  But it's worth it to us... Our kids are pre-teens and virtually LIVE in that thing, so we don't regret buying this house.
I am sure you do, you 300 pound MT.
So, get a mirror and take a look at yourself. Get a membership to Curves and lose at least 75 pounds. The people getting attacked are the ones who like MQ, they are the ones who start it and if we respond, you make it worse. You think I am going to sit here and take crap from some lard a** who is ugly and lives in a trailer park? Doubt it. So, go type and don't worry about me, that is, if you can fit in your chair.
Have you tried calling the pound?
Wonder what they'd do with the goat?

I was visiting my MIL this week, and there were three beagles running around her yard. They kept coming up on her porch, so I led them out to the road. They followed me quite happily. Then somebody drove up in a truck and just observed us. I wandered over to ask if he was missing any beagles, and he was the dog catcher! He had been called about FOUR beagles. I just told him they weren't mine, but they sure were friendly! He asked if they'd come to me when called, and I said SURE! But then I left him to call the dogs himself, LOL. I can't help it if dogs don't like him. :oD

How's this for a fun fact? A pound of flab is the...
equivalent of four sticks of pure butter.  Thought this would make some laugh.  I just started running and found this fun fact in one of my fitness magezines.  So that means I have 100 sticks of pure butter on my butt and thighs that I want to lose, LOLOLOL!!!
It sounds like if feel you don't want to pound
IC job on-line?
My huge 19-pound cat lies on my footpedal
and I constantly have to chase him off of it. :)
My 75 pound husky likes to "sm"
come and take her ball and toss it on my keyboard! When I have enough and tell her to quit, she will lay it very sweetly beside my keyboard! She knows exactly what she is doing!
get business cards, pound the pavement....sm
go to medical center buildings and sell yourself with your business card, your resume if required, and your own self-confidence!!  Good luck!! 
I cook mine low - about 225 or 250, for about 10 minutes per pound

There are laundries that will wash/dry/fold by the pound sm
I have taken in Laundry Mountain and had it all finished for around $40. Of course it's going to be different wherever you are. It did get me caught up and I was able to keep up with it for quite a while.
Be prepared to pound those keys for a national

and you have to be able to stay focused if you chose a national requiring set hours.  Consider your benefits.  There are pros and cons to working from home.  I would say unless you have a really good reason to type from home, then keep your day job.  I do fine myself because I am an IC, but I sometimes feel very isolated from the outside workforce.  I do have children, but adult conversation when you are pounding those keys all day is hard to come by.  The other duties you speak of on-site keeps you sane!  Just my opinion!  Good luck whatever you decide.  The money is just not there anymore working for these nationals unless you are willing to put on long days and pound out about 300 lph. 


Penny wise and pound foolish
Cheap ones don't save in voice files. They're hard to use so most likely your doc will not bother to pause or rewind for dictation. You may save some money now but you will end up wasting more time to decipher the recording. The best one is Olympus DS5000... every word can be heard clearly with that.
DId NOT work. Had to pound the keys -- took it back in 2 days. nm

Hyphens are used because 32-year-old and 11-pound are compound modifiers. SM

A compound modifier is two or more words that act as a single modifier for a noun.


For example:


32-year-old male


11-pound weight loss


22-gauge needle


1-cm mass


 


Please, don't "ex-pound," I probably meant expand!. It's late! Thanks

My cat veterinarian authorized us to use cat Frontline on our 5-pound tiny toy poodle
She said it goes by size and he's the size of a small cat.
I have an 80-pound, 3-legged husky under my desk--- keeps messing with the foot pedal! - sm
So I have dog now lying down somewhat quietly but breathing his hot breath on my legs, makes it hard not to laugh hysterically ---- certainly hard to work, but it is funny.
