Yeah? So she shoudl probably should
have done it at the time and said, "you're fired!" rather than let her run the risk of not turning it in on time again. DUH!! No, let's keep sending it to her and see if she can get it back on time. Like you said, find someone more motivated!!
Thanks guys, but I guess mine has to be higher-

I'm in C.FL, too, and thought mine was high at $140! I guess I'm conserving more than I though

mine sucks snot all the time...allergies I guess.

Nope, got the fast connection, and mine is weird right from the start. Guess DQS's tech support w

I must be having a brain freeze today, sorry I spelled gratful wrong, oops.

Deeply Saddened -- I understand.  I just found out our company is not giving us a bonus this year.  It is disappointing, because since it was done in the past, it shows how they are making their cuts.  In this case cutting staff appreciation. 
grateful
I am grateful to have the work and that is why I do type them and anything else that comes my way.  I was looking for a way to increased productivity.
I think you should not "vent" but be grateful you have
freedom to have any surgery we want anytime we want!


In reply to grateful
It does feel kinda good to put a voice behind us, it is rather empowering. For years we sat back and let AAMT do our talking for us and we see where that got us. Transcriptionists are always too busy to discuss or debate things in the office we are always plugged in...this feels really good, let's keep it up...keep writing, talking, pushing. GO MT's we can do it.
Be grateful, a lot of people don't get raises-- sm
I will probably cap out where I work next year.  My husband is lucky if he gets a cost of living raise, he generally will go a 2-3 years w/o a raise then get 3% if we are lucky, 1 year he only got 1%.  Yeah it would be nice to get a better raise, but in today's economy be happy that you are getting one and that you have a job.
Excited, happy, and grateful.
:)

Be very grateful someone is giving you feedbac
You must have some talent for them to keep working with you! But be a little humble and grateful for any kind of feedback you get. Try to develop your own "suspicious" ear when you hear something you're not truly sure about. That's your responsibility to train yourself after the training. No MT learns it all in a training program. Years and years of listening and typing and researching is how you become a decent MT. And then you still will never know everything--ever. It's good you took the training, just know that it's better to get feedback from a good service than not be able to find work because you don't know what you're doing. Keep listening, researching, and typing and will eventually click. Best of luck to you.
I'm very grateful to have this forum and for your hard work.

I think the poster is saying right now be grateful with what you have... things could be much worse!
nm
You are absolutely right. I am very lucky. I didn't sound too grateful but I am. nm

Feeling healthy mentally and physically and being grateful for that. nm

You are so right! This list makes me grateful for my Instant Text! nm

In college in the room next to our, they would blast Grateful Dead music all day - sm
we retaliated by blasting AC/DC. They got the point and stopped blaring their music. I'd pound on the walls and ask her to keep it down because you are trying to work, might help, it she gets louder and more obnoxious I'd call the police, disturbing the peace and all. She won't appreciate it but it would sure make a point, and if she kept it up you just keep calling the police. Good luck.
Funny! Mine is almost as large, and I don't mind cleaning mine!
It's no problem at all.  Besides, I'll take lots of oodles of square footage any day of the week over living in a sardine can!
If it's different for each report, my guess (only a guess)
would be no. I think the macro would work if it was the same each time, but not sure if it will if the documents are different each time.
Mine isn't like that. Mine is 2. All are programmed different.
xx
then I guess it is just a
matter of process by elimination....Thanx for the info....
GUESS WHAT
The post right above mine ISNT ME!!!!!  But she did capitalize in  her post.  OHHHHH.  Could there be 2 of US????
Are you 19:13:49? Guess not! nm
LOL
guess not! nm

Well, I guess...
I simply can't afford to go! That and gas would ruin my budget...
Guess not.

Well, I guess you don't want more help. :) nm

I guess you are SM

just plain stupid and can't read.  I have a job and make good money. 


Plus that, I can afford to not work for peanuts and hold out for the better paying position because I have a lot more skills than just MT.  First of all, I can read and understand the English language which you obviously cannot.  AMF


Guess
AND ONLY YOU WOULD KNOW!
GUESS WHAT
A BIG FAT LOSER AS WELL!
My guess
My guess is that since you are the one who noticed, you are probably the one writing the nastygram posts - now you have someone to blame it on because of someone else's misfortune - I have power and I live in Florida, too bad the people who do not have power cannot respond to your rude remarks about the misfortunate.
I guess I am really different
I love OB-GYN most of all. Of course, I have had the same three docs for over 10 years and I have had the liberty of asking them to turn their recorders all the way up and they have obliged. They speak very loudly and clearly. Even after all these years, for some reason, I am not bored with the work. My female docs dictate normally two pages on every patient (my male doc dictates about half a page) so I get a lot of dictation and a lot of canned paragraphs to boot.

When I worked for a large national, I liked the Infectious Disease docs the best but I hated having over 100 dictators in several specialties.

I now work for a small MTSO (plus have my own OB account) and I have nine GI docs and I really enjoy it thus far.
to each their own I guess
I thought the bomb scene was totally realistic, how in the heck did they film that, unbelievable.
guess what I was asking was
how do others break into this? Is it usually done by word of mouth, answering ads, or your own marketing. But, Thx, I will take a look back a few days
Ah, yes, I guess there are...
those kinds of adapters. LOL, ''gender changer'' (rather a misnomer for the female-to-female and male-to-male ones, though, huh?).

Thanks, WeekendMT! Sticking with my homemade equalizer dealio for now, but this is good to know about (never heard of such a thing before).
would guess it is 14-17 cpl now...nm

I guess I'm not the only one....(nm)

Well, I guess somebody has to do it. (sm)
But it won't be me! 
Guess you are right
not to feed the trolls. It is hard though, sometimes, when you see them ganging up on some poor innocent unsuspecting poster who just wanted to post what she was making for dinner that day and all of a sudden she is a target for rude abuse. It is not fair, and sometimes it is not easy to keep quiet. I am done for the day though, as they are dragging me down too. Can't win when they think they are right to be able to hurt someone else. Just glad I am not the only one that feels that way though. Thanks for your input. Keep reminding us not to feed the trolls...it may help. lol
guess we know what Mom would say

You made the income, you spent the income, you owe the taxes.  Hopefully you are putting money aside to pay this year's taxes.  I feel for you in a way but you gotta be disciplined and put money aside to pay your taxes.   You can work out a payment plan with the state but why should they write yours off and not mine.


 


I guess I can see that for
in-house positions or people working with money.  But I wonder why they would want that kind of information for someone strictly doing transcription at home.  I've had credit card debt and even some collections in the past but not because of irresponsbility but because of illness, job loss, etc.  I just think it'd be a shame for somebody with bills to not get a job they need and want so they can pay off those bills, just because they have those bills, KWIM?  Thanks for responding!
Okay, I guess that's a little different.
If both of you are on a talking basis already, kind of different. I am just imaging one of my husband's exes, ha!

A ductogram, huh? I hope I never have to have one of those since you say they are so painful. I don't like getting anything done anymore though after the doctor messed me up so bad during my liver biopsy. If I see instruments of any kind, I automatically cringe. I had an IUD put in recently and thought I was going to have a panic attack because the nurse kept messing with those things beforehand.

Hope everything turned out alright for you! :)
To each their own, I guess :)
I do think it is quite ridiculous that God has been taken out of the Pledge of Allegiance, etc. I just guess I look for more practical solutions.

I think everyone should have a right to their religious beliefs, including Christians. To push everything out that has anything to do with God is going to the other extreme. Everything has to be so politically correct now, like the whole Happy Holidays thing.

I'm not into organized religion, but someone saying Merry Christmas or my kids hearing God in school is not offensive to me. God can mean many different things to different people. They both do things organized by churches sometimes. A parent should let their kid make their own decision, in my opinion.

However, we still need an overhaul of our mental health care system and school system for that matter. Those are practical solutions that will work now.

I guess what comes around goes around...
I hope they get sued and lose their $**!

I used work in-house for a local hospital for several years until it became apparent that the MTs were being weeded out. The Director of Medical Records, who has never transcribed a day in her life, had gone to a seminar promoting EMR as well as outsourcing companies to take over the hospital's transcription -- our jobs. She came back from the seminar all fired up with a plan to purchase the $500,000 software and outsource the work that she could, and get rid of her in-house and home MTs to avoid the extra overhead and expense that full-time employees incur. She was extremely evasive with us and sneaky about this until it became apparent to the others what she was up to. I, on the other hand, knew exactly what she was doing and got out before I gave her the satisfaction of getting rid of me. Last I heard, their good ole EMR was not doing what they wanted it to do because they failed to get the extra components to make it work sufficiently, which would have been another $500,000 according to her. Instead, she had the IT department working overtime to "create" software that would work with what she had already purchased and it just wasn't working correctly. HA!!! We MTs started dropping and quitting like flies. Now, she's in a mess because no one wants to work for her after pulling her stunt. No one trusts her.

Needless to say, it was very upsetting working with her, knowing that she was fully aware that I would be unemployed in a short time, while she remained very comfortable in her very nice, secure job that her doctor husband got for her in a deal to come to the area to work. It's all about politics here where I am located -- it's not what you know but who you know -- or better yet, WHO YOU DO (if you get my meaning).

It's all just ridiculous. The Medical Records Department was always in a complete mess. She was incompetent and it amazed me that she was allowed to keep her job.

I guess I was bitter, sure. I do hope to live to see the day that this Director of Medical Records gets what's coming to her because she is totally incompetent and has that area of the hospital in such a mess that I, myself, would be terrified if I had to be admitted to there.

Only if you guess at it, which is what too many MTs do.

Well, if I had to guess

I'd say this poster is the same person who sent me hate mail 20 minutes before posting this. I guess you told me! LOL!


Wow, I am sorry for you. It must be an absolutely miserable life, being such a mean and nasty troll. I'm just thankful that I'm not you.


I guess I should be expecting more hate mail now. I'll be sure to read that right away!


 


Thanks I guess, but (sm)

I was a nurse before becoming a MT, so I may have a little hands-on knowledge behind my belt, too.  I still don't know everything in the BOS by a long shot.  Maybe I just wanted to blow some money on a test. 


Ok, well, i guess

No. I guess I could look into it,
but they have been opposed to this in the past and have told me they don't want anyone they don't know doing my work. I will check, though. Thanks!
