Oh really? That's why it's a fact that Zarqawi was treated in Baghdad for injuries.

    Monkey bar injuries
    Actually there is more than broken bones that occur. When my daughter was 7 she was not tall enough to reach the steps after she crossed the bars and while trying to reach her hands slipped. She ended up falling and straddling the step(bar), which resulted in surgery 9 hours later, after 7 pelvic exams, at the Children's Hospital. She tore both sides of her urethra from the impact. While waiting in recovery I was commenting to the nurse that I could not believe playing on the playground at recess ended us up in the hospital, she said they saw the same injury numerous times a year and most schools take the monkey bars out when they replace the playground equipment. Ours did.
    I've typed LOTS of reports on trampoline injuries

    Some of them VERY severe, including head injuries when the person bounced off the trampoline and landed on his/her head.


    ANYTHING can be dangerous if you aren't careful.  Way back in the disco era, I typed a report on a guy who had fractures of ALL FIVE metatarsals - from dancing!! 


    No, actually they don't. You guys run on emotion, not fact. And when fact is presented,

    You may actually be treated better too
    in working in that environment, Burger King. It's shameful for the level of difficulty this job is, that the pay is this lousy and the treatment by supervisors/management is disrespectful and horrendous.
    Not sure...I HAVE been treated in...

    I have been treated several times in France and in the U.K. and found the care excellent and their pricing for everything medically-related far better than in this country.  I know about their waiting lists and Canada's too.  I'm not sure what the answer is nor is SiCKO giving an answer.  I do know that trying to get an appointment in a VA Hospital in this country also has 3-6 month waiting lists. 


    I wish we all had an answer.....


    Some people at SS are treated
    better than others.  The special ones get paid for their spaces, while some others do NOT.
    Wow, that's really awkward that you are being treated
    Are you sure they aren't getting these kinds of emails even tho their work shows the same errors on final copy?

    This is a tough one.

    Can you actually COMMUNICATE with her, instead of emailing? That seems to clear some kinds of things up, when emails just feel too awful.

    Good luck. This must be an awful feeling.
    ICs -- are you being treated like employees? (sm)
    I filed IRS form SS-8, and boy did I get results!!

    It took months. I had to fill out the very detailed form describing my work situation. The IRS then notified the MTSO and had them fill out the form. I just received the ruling that I was in fact an employee, so the MTSO now has to pay back taxes and penalties!!

    It feels so good when something works the way it should, doesn't it?
    You may well have been treated unfairly
    There are so many different situations.  I'm not saying you weren't treated badly.  What I deal with sometimes  is ridiculous.  Totally made up words, no effort to digest feedback,  no effort to look drug spellings up.  AND an attitude toward me!
    If we were treated like professionals, we might be
    Management IS the devil. By the way, what's it like up there in mananagement, with your 6-figure income, your executive healthcare, and salary-not-hourly status? Especially when you sit in your office all day surfing Amazon & eBay? Must be nice, Beelzebub. But I'll never sell my soul for it.

    You have to be psychic to be treated.

    Never been treated so badly in my life

    Just signed on with a company, had 1 week of work, now I am on my second week with no work.  I am a single mother with children to feed...it's just not right. Searching for a new job and have 3 offers on the table already......


    How many jobs do we take until we might be treated decent


    I am on my third in a year


    Which companies were you at where you were not treated very well. I am job hunting and would like
    to know.
    It's just one more reason why MTs are treated like dirt. (nm)
    :/
    i've been very well treated by my state's
    BC/BS -- and have had several expensive accidents...but maybe it depends on your state too.
    For what it's worth, I don't think that you were treated dirty...sm
    They decided to go to EMR, which is their choice.  It sounds as if you financially made out extremely well (very, very well) doing their transcription. How about charging a nominal fee to assist them in setting this up? In the end how do you know that the EMR will work out for them, and 3 or 4 months later they decide to go back to using a MT? It sounds like you made out like a bandit doing their work, and for what it's worth I would be quite reasonable fee-wise with this one in the hope that they may retain your services in the future. I don't think that you are going to run into too many gravy situations making $100.00 dollars an hour doing MT, and acyually they are not treating you dirty by deciding to try EMR.
    You LET self be treated bad. Hard to feel sorry

    treated badly and pentalized
    Has anybody here had a company treat you badly because you want to work?  I was offered a full-time employee position.  I took it and then I was barely getting 200 lines a day.  I was also told I would have a back up account.  When I questioned what was going on, I was given the cold shoulder.  What's the deal? I want to work!  I am use to getting at least 1500 lines a day.
    I concur....MTs are treated with respect at MDI-MD....
    Best MTSO out there, in my opinion.
    He was my least favorite on that show and after how he treated Brenda,

    Mine started doing this as well. I have high BP which I'm being treated for (sm)
    but the doctor told me it is the position of where the back of my thigh rests against the edge of the chair, puts pressure on it and makes the leg swell. Now that I'm more aware of this I try to position myself differently and it seems to work.
    I don't understand your question at all. She was being treated in Mexico
    so what does that have to say about the US? Makes no sense.
    not true. Crux is, she is being treated differently than others

    Tell that to my friend. They had a dog they treated as a member of their family. That is, until it a
    Dogs need to be trained and need to know they're lowest in the pack. I tried telling my friend this, but she wouldn't listen and she continued to treat the dog as a member of the family instead of as a dog. And eventually that "member of their family" decided it didn't want any more competition for affection, and attacked their son. Thank God he survived, 92 stitches and some nasty scars tho. If you love your family and you love your dog, then TRAIN your dog. Don't treat him like an extra child.
    A lot of women are treated badly in general sm

    not just in the Amish community.  How many women are abused daily, behind closed doors and in public.  I remember an incident when I was visiting Atlantic City.  Had just walked into the casino and there was this man, wife, and child in a stroller along with some other friends.  Don't know what their argument was about, but the man hauled off and smacked his wife across her face like it was nothing and the friends seemed so embarrassed.  The poor lady just shielded her face and cried.  The man acted as if he had done nothing wrong.  If this is the treatment he gives her in public, imagine what goes on behind closed doors.  I told my husband if you ever even think about it I will put your poor soul to rest.


    We cannot generalize by culture because it is the world we live in.  To the Amish community I am sure they receive "normal treatment." 


    The gist of it all is no one should have to suffer the pain these children nor their families have endured with these school shootings, molestations, and abuse.  If you are that miserable (they end up killing themselves anyway most of the time), why not just go ahead and take your own life and leave others alone. I pray for them all and hope that they can find peace in the midst of all this tragedy.


    It is gratifying to see an MT who refuses to be treated as a second class employee. Way to go!!
    :)
    At our base the civilian employees are treated worse
    than the prisoners from the nearby federal prisoner. Military thinks civilians are the scum of the earth. You will never get a promotion or recognition unless you are married to an active duty person.
    I would be proud if my records, with my name erased, could be used to help an MT be treated fairly.
    :P
    Coretta Scott King died in Mexico, while being treated. ---what does that say about

    Nope, I don't feel "LUCKY" to be treated like an imbicile by my company. Nope, No way.

    not just the fact of being PT, but sm
    she claims to work two jobs! Who has that much time. I don't believe it's physically possible to work that much, but that's just IMHO, of course!
    I don't do it all day either - in fact,
    I worked around parts of Louisiana in hospitals as a Transcriptionist in the past! Now I come to NOLA to vacation. I'll be there for a few days in September and then again in October and then again maybe in November.
    IT IS A FACT
    The DocQmanage program has a page where the managers can select or deselect anything they want to be counted, i.e. spaces, letters, numbers, headers, footers, (a whole page full of things). BUT: The main thing is this - they can put whatever number they want in there as a DIVISOR to divide the number of characters by; and the characters are almost always not counted correctly because they have selected to "not count" spaces, headers, footers, numbers, etc, etc. THEY ARE CROOKS.
    Its a fact - CM
    Hi CM - can you e-mail me? thanks.
    IT IS A FACT
    They did not tell us this, as far as the F9. I just checked it and you are absolutely right. They told us where we could find our line count. What a bunch of BS. Do you happen to know if every company has their own "computations" to reduce line counts? How sad this is :<
    Oh, I'm with you there. In fact, I

    if anyone ever feels like just giving up on EVERYBODY in their live and walking away and starting a new life with a clean slate?  All my kids have already left home or are close to leaving home age.  One is doing horribly in school and won't put any effort into it.  One was a bitch on wheels this morning and is in trouble for underage drinking.  One is doing better than the other 2 but just informed me it's going to take 2 more years to get through college (she's a junior now) and we can't afford another year.  And DH wet the bed last night and I am just beside myself.  The only time he has ever done that is when he was drinking.  He swears he hasn't been drinking (he's an alcoholic).  Yah right.  I feel like I am the only one who halfway has it together.


    And financially - let's not even go there.


    I feel like taking the cat and driving off into the sunset and never coming back.


    They are asking how you know this for a fact?
    It was a big stink on another board some time ago about how people claim to know things FOR A FACT.
    Yes, and let's not get into the fact that most sm
    daycares all over the country are "state regulated" not state-run, but receive millions of dollars a year from moms and dads who get their childcare paid for by the state (our tax dollars) so that they could work out of the home.

    When people gripe about us moms who stay at home with our children they should be glad that we are working AND taking care of our children and not depending on the state or grandma to do it!!!
    was the fact that she was gone even
    Was an explanation given as to where she was and if she'd be back? I don't watch that show, all those women grate on my nerves, but I am curious as to know if they even broached the subject of the missing Star! (She's so tacky...tried to get her whole wedding for free, puhleeze...)!!!
    no that's not a fact
    I've been using AT&T CallVantage for about a year without a single problem. In fact, when I signed up I told the rep what I did and he said it was not a problem.
    That was not me. In fact, I actually
    and that is why I posted to the person who did that, letting that poster know that the original poster did not post twice. However, your message and placement of same sure did indicate that you were *speaking* to me.
    do you know this for a fact?
    nm
    In fact, I may (sm)
    email you when I get around to this, if you don't mind!
    No, in fact

    although I could originally connect to the VPN client, after a short while I could not.  So I was disconnecting and reconnecting the router when I needed to do any work and now - for the red herring - I can't even use the wireless now.  It doesn't recognize my modem. 


    As a matter of fact just today - I had been too busy to fool with it - I tried to get in touch with a really good tech support networking guy I used to know who knows transcriptionists.  I am waiting for him to call me back.  Hopefully I can bring him in to solve this mess.  I will update you.  I will say that other poster was right about the Belkin being about a thousand times easier to hook up than the Linksys, you wouldn't think there would be that much of a difference but it was so much simpler. 


    The fact is ...
    no one even knows who we are, so it must be our own insecurities that allow us to be upset by those critical people.

    I guess on top of that though, it is simply frustrating and hurtful that others want to lash out about such nonsense. The truth is, those people are probably upset about something in their own lives. It would be better for all of us (especially them) if they would look within a little bit more.

    We'd all be better off if we spread a little more sunshine.
    this is not FACT
    actually this is opinion based about them being bad employers... they did a WHOLE story on it... wal mart is not as bad as some think from the gossipy rumors!
    Did anyone ever think about the fact sm
    that if a huge outcry is put up about medical records being transmitted electronically, that just might put an end to the capability of working from home?  Many of us work out of the comfort and convernience of our homes and, of course, since we also transmit those records electronically, how would that affect us?
    I was referring to the fact that (sm)
    it's free, unlike other sites, to post messages and such here.  That's what FREE I was referring to!
    I agree. In fact, when somebody says....
    that their marriage is heaven and their spouse is fabulous, I get suspicious.  I have a great marriage, but in 14 years there have been times when he (and I) have acted like a bonehead.  One HUGE fight I recall was the day he got off the phone with his brother and told me that he was going to the races.  There I was with 2 babies in my lap (less than a year apart) and it was Saturday.  I'd already gone through 5 days with him at work with those 2 babies in my lap, and I wasn't too keen on him tooting off to have fun while I sat there yet again with the kids.  I just wanted the courtesy of him asking if I minded if he went, but instead he just assumed he could take off without a care in the world.  He felt I was asking him to give him permission.  Anyway, it was a mess.  It didn't mean he was a bad husband deserving divorce papers (he's considerate about 99% of the time), but it was a "bad day."  It happens.  Nobody is perfect.
