and you resent successful white people
,
Most of the people in this country
Are way too dependent on the government to save them and are looking for a free handout. While I have sympathy for those whose homes have been destroyed, I agree that you should have some sort of a back-up plan of water, canned goods, etc., to prepare for an emergency. This is just common sense. We had really bad fires in Arizona this year and I was prepared and ready to leave if I had to and didn't wait around for somebody to come rescue me. People need to be more self reliant and not wait for somebody else to take care of them. The hurricane victims had plenty of time to stock up on canned goods, water, etc., before the hurricane hit. I have relatives in Florida and they had to evacuate, but they had planned ahead and had canned food and water ready for when they came back, as they knew there would be nothing available. I think Kennedy's quote of-- Ask not what your country can do for you-- would be very appropriate in this day and age when everybody stands around waiting for a free government handout. These people would never had made it as pioneers----.
What is wrong with the PEOPLE of this Country
I don't really disagree with much you wrote (except that there are plenty of good unions out there)...

but here's what drives me nuts: You ask, rightly, what's wrong with the government?

What's wrong is the PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY have chosen to roll over and LET the government do what it wants MOST of the time.

PATRIOTISM means more than waving a flag or whining online. PUT YOUR FEET in the street and/or CALL OR GO SEE your reps in congress

BRING A GROUP better yet. As long as WE JUST PAY THE TAX MAN they will continue to RIP YOU OFF.

You get what you choose to tolerate.


Oh, I forgot. You're only allowed to hate and resent white people.
.
Elimiate white flour and white sugar from your diet.

Why not leave them white or off-white and use

accessories and window treatments to bring it together.  Personally, I like neutral color walls and like to decorate around them.  You can bring the rooms together with nice window treatments, throw pillows, and candles with candle holders. 


Pier-1 imports has great decorating ideas.


 


Good luck.


This CAN be successful! This is the best way - (sm)
there is, through a "viral" internet e-mail campaign, to let everyone in this country know what's been happening to their personal records. I signed it and sent it to every single person on my email list.

I think periodically you should renew this post so that it doesn't fall down to the bottom of the page.

If we all keep pushing on this, as a coalition of many thousands of MTs in the US, we can bring this to the attention of the lawmakers in this country, and hopefully get this practice to STOP.
Successful, nah, not now
I years ago made a decent living in this business but the salary has fell so much that it is not what it was once. I work part-time now because I only want to work that much - do not plan on retirement because I want to be able to work and double dip from social security and get full pay so that ought to be nice- like in the past when I really had to work 2 jobs to make the really big $$$$. I am really glad I am at a time in my life where no kids to bring up, only the monthly bills (not home nor car) as hubby pays for those so have it fairly easy. I could never raise children on the salary most are earning now.
I am a successful MT with ADD sm
I manage it. Some days I have I can't sit still-itis and it is VERY DIFFICULT. I have compensated by being extremely fast, detail oriented in shorter spans and I simply let myself take breaks. I have to work at not taking internet surfing breaks, but if I can manage that, I get a lot of lines. This week I have 7500 at one job and 2000 at another. I don't work more than about 1-1/2 hours without getting up at least once, and no, I only have one 16-18 hour day each week. The rest are 10 and under.
Yes, happy and successful. :-)

I don't know what to tell you except Walmart is successful and some of
the supermarkets are going down because of it. The people who are shopping there are not uneducated people and it is in high-end financial growing part of town. I only shopped in a Walmart Superstore once and it was packed in the middle of the day. In spite of all the bad publicity, Walmart keeps growing and people like shopping there.


My sister was successful sm
She went to Curves and lost about 20 pounds (didn't have much to lose). She loved it. They have an eating plan that she went on and she liked that too. If you're not used to doing exercise, this is the place to start. If you already exercise, it might be too slow for you. Can you do a trial? Good luck!!
I am not sure you would say I was "highly successful," but...
I do all the stuff the others do. I use the platform Expander and I will take a day every few weeks and really pay attention like for the first hour of the morning that day and enter Expanders for EVERYTHING that looks like it will work...single words, phrases, endings, etc. If you transcribe every day, you sometimes overlook words and phrases you could be adding to your expander so you can type faster.

I also don't do the mundane during work hours. I dont answer the phone unless it is my kids. I don't "throw in a load of laundry." I don't answer the doorbell. I limit my net surfing. Few email readings...maybe a quick look at lunch. I work 4 tens and never take lunch. I break only to stretch, get coffee, make a salad, answer my kids' phone calls.

I also do a power hour, usually mid afternoon when I start to fade. One hour of typing as hard and fast as I can. Believe me, that hour flies.

Also, I know it is an old trick but worth mentioning. Any easy words commonly transposed I put in my expander teh for the, ND for and, etc., so you do not have to wait for a spell checker to do it at the end. I also add on. tp = the patient; tpss = the patient states; tpsd = the patient stated and so on.

Hope that helps...nothing new but it does work...
Need to hear from successful MTs at Webmedx
I heard about their incentive program.  It is really that good?  Can you make a lot of $$ there?  Do they run out of work?
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. 
So what is it that you do that you're so successful at, & how much do you make? (nm)

Have you tried Accupuncture. I have a friend and this was successful for her.
I personally do not have experience with this, but it has helped a friend of mine.

As you probably know, you may be experiencing some rebound headaches from the RX you are taking.

My own personal opinion and experience, I would try weaning off everything and start from scratch to see what helps and what doesn't. You may even have seasonal allergies contributing to your headaches.

I have done this and it was successful - however, I did it under the guidance of my MD.

Maybe it is time to see your primary care physician and see if you agrees with this approach.
What traits do successful supervisors have?

I want to know what I can do to become the best supervisor possible. Personally, I have had only one great supervisor in all my years and what I found is that she displayed, fairness, objectivity, a sense of humor, consistency.  Can you tell me what your idea of the perfect supervisor is? 


ASR isn't successful? Its like 100% a complete success! Are you kidding?

MQs speech rec technology is sweeping the industry. Just run a Google, dear poster, and get your facts even remotely straight before you post!  Radiology speech rec is a HUGE success, as well as their acute care. What planet have you been living on? It needed perfecting, and, well....Its nearly there! Post facts if you must - much better than completely false ignorant claims.


To be SUCCESSFUL at MT, you'll need more than 1 class in transcribing. sm
However, you are off to a good start having had A&P and terminology and being a coder. Unfortunately, personal experience and family history don't give you all that much preparation for a career in MT, nor does just working in a medical office. But, if you are a successful coder, you do have a better base to build on. Coding and MT are very different, but you do have exposure and familiarity with more medical terms than the average person would. To be truly prepared for a career in MT, and I stress that it is a career, I have to suggest a full MT program, preferably one that includes a practicum/internship in its curriculum. If you continue to work in a medical office, I would look into who currently does their transcription, and see if you can practice on old tapes that they may have, see how you do on your first attempt at transcribing. Of course you won't be great right away, but it will at least give you a realistic vision into the actual work.
Yes, spotted off and on through 2 successful pregnancies plus had ectopics...sm

would have to say spotting is NOT a sign of an ectopic pregnancy. The bleeding from an ectopic is all internal. You will have stomach pains, pain around your rectum or worse if it actually ruptures.  But an ectopic is pretty easy to see on an ultrasound so if you have concerns about that, just get an ultrasound and have them track quantitative HCG's, as they are...


Best of luck and try not to worry, though I know I worried myself sick


OSI and their mentoring program, maybe? Can anyone comment on how successful it is? nm

Secrets of Highly Successful MTs? Please share!

I'd really be interested to learn if there are any tips you 40k&up folks could share with those of us who are... more financially challenged.  What is your schedule like?  Do you log off every time you get up to get a cup of coffee, etc?  Obviously you don't spend your work days on message boards; do you have any tips for how to Stay Focused? 


Sorry if I sound ignorant; I have been doing this for many many years and still struggle with the same self-discipline issues I had way back when.  I'd love to hear from those who have actually made good money at this how they did it.  Thanks!


Anyone successful with full screen monitor sm
hooked connected to a laptop and how did you get it to work.  I have been trying to get my monitor and laptop to interact with one another, but no such look.  Can anyone help me with this?  I do not think I can look at this laptop screen all day.  Thanks!!
worse yet, Spheris most successful in India for 10 yr.

they are jealous and hateful of anyone, family or friends who are successful.
They think they don't have to work too hard or follow the rules of society. Sometimes they embellish the truth or tell lies of ommission to have people feel sorry for them. There are lots of signs relative to how other people think that this person is way off base. Sometimes all they do is want to sleep. Other times they are on the phone for hours at a time. Something is off.
We will only be successful in unionizing when everyone realizes all American MTs are being short SM

changed.  My attitude should be everybody's attitude.  We should ALL feel fed up with the way we are treated.  We are the work horses in this industry.  Without us, MTSOs don't get paid, and at the hospitals, the charts won't be complete, coders can't code, billers can't bill, and nobody makes any money.


If we continue to accept the status quo, we can count on making less money.  It's about time for everyone to be outraged and turn our backs on those MTSOs that don't offer a fair wage or who outsource our jobs to third world countries! 


I need the money just as much as the next MT, but I made my sacrifices to get the job I have now.  I worked in the office (oh the horror), paid for daycare (even more horror), and commuted into the city every day because I refused to take another sucky job with an MTSO paying 8 cpl and giving me the bottom of the barrel to type.  I FINALLY found a decent paying job that allows me to work from home, gives me decent dictators, offers me benefits, and doesn't cheat me out of lines.  More importantly, they treat me with respect and appreciate the job I do.


So don't tell me my attitude is wrong.  You're attitude is wrong.  You simply want to stir the pot, but not make a real difference.  Sure I put my family above everything else and sure I worry about my pocketbook before I worry about yours, but you know what, I cared enough about my profession to say I'm not going to put up with it anymore.  I cared enough about my profession that I worked in the office rather than take a wage that was a slap in the face to my years of experience.  I cared enough about my profession to hold out until I found the one good job.


And now I care enough about my profession to say to you are worth every penny of the 7 cpl you're probably earning and 7 cents won't even get you a piece of bubble gum.  Most of here are worth much much more.


if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.

As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
Your white cat
I have a feral kitten and I brought in a log for him to claw on and he loves it. You could try that.

White noise sm
I have a small TV and Bose radio/CD player in my office.  I worked 30 years in a clinic setting and am just used to working with the sound of people around me.  I have remotes to those two things, plus remote for ceiling fan/lite and DVD player on desk, lol.  I think it might be time to get a universal remote.
White Chili
and homemade fresh salsa. Yum!
White tea and ginger (sm)
You can get it on the B&BW website--it's on sale now for $5, too.
What is white chestnut?...nm

The White House says they did not know about
and then went on TV to talk about taxes.  I think if you watch FOX news you could see it was not democrats or republicans but everyday people who are sick of politicians lying to us.  I have not seen any "Change" just more spending to pay back the people who bought this election. IMHO.....
white noise machine
I had a neighbor who had a dog who barked all night and also another neighbor who played music all night.  I bought a white noise machine for about $20.00.  I had a choise of ocean waves, birds chirping, rain hitting the house, thunder, so many more sounds and it worked..It would drown out the outside noises.I had tried ear plugs, calling the cops (the minute they left the dog and neighbor would start again), confronting the neighbors..nothing worked but the white nose machine..You can get one at any department store..
I have never seen a white man/woman in the fields.
Who would want to stand in 100 plus degree temps or, in winter, nonstop rain, chilly temps, working the fields or tending the cattle? No one who was raised with sliced bread; they'd probably starve first.

I was married to an ag man (cattle). The immigrants come and go across the border often (visiting family). It is not difficult.

They are keeping the price of the food you eat down.
White Sox. They should have won the last World Series

Actually, there are many left, both black and white.
God Bless them all.
And I want the white chili recipe!

Try straight white vinegar. sm
I use it all the time. Of course, the smell is horrible but at least it is better than some of that stuff you buy in the store.  I usually rinse it real well after and then dry everything.
put a little white vinegar is a bowl and set it out.
Vinegar is a great neutralizer.  I always have my stove exhaust fan on when cooking odorous foods and if possible I open a window.   We had someone housesit for us who smoked in the house, even though they were told they couldn't.   I'm very sensitive to cigarette smoke and we had to wash all the surfaces with vinegar.   I had a used car dealer tell me one time when I was complaining about a smell in a used car to cut an apple in half and put it under the seat, so maybe an apple would work too. 
oh yeah, like white americans and others...sm

another one who needs their head examined - blaming all the crime in America on illegal aliens.....you're very sick......


Just look at the predators going after kids - NOT ONE IS EVER FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY - only white trailer park trash oh and priests.......pedophiliacs......


Gang rapes - usually done by white men.......


drugs were around way before the illegal aliens - street gangs were around before illegal aliens (think MAFIA and then Bloods and Crips)........


Geesh - you need to just quit posting is all....ill-educated as far as the street goes, eh?


look in the mirror before you falsly accuse Immigrants!!


Trailer park trash has been on the welfare rolls for 4 decades in this country!!  They keep having more babies thinking they can stay on forever.  Good thing the welfare laws are changing!!

Not a black or white thing
Am white, use reckon and fixin to, these are just southern expressions I grew up with. So funny told hubby I was gonna take my bath- he said well that was really rude. My grandson piped up and said everyone in his family took a bath. What a laugh that got! I told hubby the other day not gonna do something, just like beating a dead horse and spinning my wheels, no use. Gosh I wish I could think of more but mind is sorta blank on these at this time.
red and yellow, black and white--OK
Type as dictated. Oriental male and black male are both acceptable phrases.
Oriental, Caucasian, Filipino, Hispanic, Latino, etc., are all names of peoples/races and should be capitalized.
Color designations of race and ethnicity are not capitalized: black, white.

Is Pres. Obama taking into consideration how many U.S. based medical transcriptionists will be out of work when his medical records program, computerizing medical records, is put into effect?  Thousands upon thousands upon thousands.  This end result is never addressed, only how it will save jobs, save money......NOT from my point of view.  I changed jobs 11 years ago to become a Transcriptionist thinking it was going to be a prosperous move.  I am 50 years old.  Where will my job be in a few years?


Can someone PLEASE call the white coats with the net for this crack pot?

crime of color versus white
Wow, to admit your prejudice..I thank you!  I grew up in NYC and we had all colors, all religions, all beliefs, all lifestyles and I feel so fortunate as I have lived in different parts of the country and many have never even seen others that are different than them..I friend of mine grew up in Missouri and she never even met a Black person till she moved to California..Blew my mind.  Yes, I do think the missing white girls or boys get coverage and believe me out here in California in South Central LA, Compton area, Blacks are killed and missing every day.  I think our country has progressed tremendously in terms of racial equality but there still is much lacking.  On the Natalee Holloway case, my heart breaks each day when there is still no news.  I truly believe that Joran had something to do with Natalee's death and that they disposed of her body.  Im just saddened by the whole thing because I think he is just a boy and I dont think it was out of malice or hate, I think whatever they were doing that night caused her death, be it drugs, sex and maybe she fell and hit her head, whatever..I dont think he set out to murder her but I do think he was involved with her death and then never notified the authorities out of fear, then disposed of her body in the shark infested waters..I dont think we will ever know unless he or the two other boys confess.
