Mt. Mansfield, Vermont sm
We're going there on vacation in a few weeks and I hope to hike to the top!
Mine was also Vermont, on a different lake, and I was 4.
- Lake Memphremagog
We stayed in cabins on the lake, and and there were loft bedrooms for the kids that could only be reached by ladders. My aunt and uncle and two of their kids were there. It was my favorite vacation ever, and I was four years old.
Gift of gab is a gift in deed. Not having it has cost me dearly.
I became an MT because of my interest in medical field, fascination with the work and yes, a lack of social skills. I really did think that my work would speak for me.

what is TVPS?
x
I have to say that I buy a lot of products from TVPS and have never had a
problem. Before calling the BBB and credit card company, why not try again to contact the company? People are always so quick to jump and complain to the BBB, when situations can be resolved. I would suggest calling and asking to speak to Tom Wilkes directly. His extension is 101.
BTW, I do not work for TVPS, I own an MTSO and only purchase from them.
Be careful when doing business with TVPS, also known
as Executive Communication Systems. I bought a foot pedal from them that was SUPPOSED to be compatible with a particular program. Right out of the box it didn't work. Told me to send it back and they would repair it (shipping at my expense of course). Received the foot pedal back and it will work for a little while and then won't work and I have to reinstall it. They say the only way to unstall it is to unplug it from the computer. I'm sitting right in front of the computer with a job open and the *$#*$!#@)$ pedal doesn't work. I have asked to return the pedal (again I eat the expense) and get a refund and they refuse. I paid $75.00+ for a pedal, had to pay nearly $9.00 to send it back for repairs, and now they won't give me my money back. I can't even sell it to try to recoup some of my money, because I don't want to shaft someone like they did me.
I'm going to file with the BBB and also my credit card company.
tvps.com is offering same day shipping if ordered by 3p. nm
s
I never got my certificate
My pedal never materialized either,but I did get a reimbursement for that. I finished going on two years ago and never got it. Seems to me things are going down hill.
IF you paid by credit card, you can call them and try to get it credited back so you will at least have your money. I would keep calling them...every day if you have to.
If you have a certificate in MT, sm
Be careful stating you have a "certificate" in MT. There is a certification through AAMT (or whatever their new name is) but it is vastly different from a certificate from a school. I'm assuming you mean you received a certificate upon completion of an MT course of some kind, as the CMT requires a certain amount of experience, I believe (and a CMT would not have trouble finding work). If that's the case, have you asked the school about job placement assistance? If they are a reputable school, they should know employers that will hire their graduates and help you find work.
I would advise AGAINST getting your own accounts. Not only is there a lot to learn about running the business side of it, you will be completely on your own and there will not be much communication or hand-holding from the doctors or their staff. Many doctors will not look twice at someone without experience, either. If you go out there marketing for your own accounts, then the doctors are going to expect you to have all the equipment necessary, be well trained, well educated, and able to produce client-ready documents without assistance on their part. They will expect you to be current on any technology they wish to use. That is why they outsource MT - so they don't have to spend time and money training someone or furnishing equipment, etc. If you do work for local doctors and cannot provide all of that, it could do more damage to your reputation than good. Most docs know each other and talk. That word of mouth is crucial and can make or break you. I'm sorry, but my honest opinion is that a newbie cannot possibly provide the superior service most offices desire because they don't know what it is just yet. If it was as easy as just "working hard," everyone would be doing it, after all. There are a lot of services and individuals out there competing for the doctors' work, so you have to be able to provide better quality and service than they do.
Oh, and also, a lot of private practice doctors are far pickier than you might think. They often actually read their reports before signing them (especially when you are new to them), refer to the reports often in their charts, and expect them to be up to par. If they see a lot of typos or errors, they will cut you loose and move on to the next service looking to earn their work. Who do you think sets forth the specifications that many of the companies you have already spoken to or tested with? Probably their clients!
Now, is it possible you might find some doctor out there willing to give it a shot? Yes. But just because doctors in one town haven't heard of the BOS, that doesn't mean others have not. Did your MT course not go over BOS rules? If BOS rules are what you are having trouble with and want to avoid, then I suggest getting a copy of the current BOS, studying it, and learning it so future testing is excellent. If you test well with a company even without experience, they'd be foolish not to at least take a second look. If you lack experience and don't test well, what incentive do they have to hire? There are a LOT of good MTs looking for work right now, so you have to make yourself stand out above the rest.
If you feel your schooling was inadequate, look into supplemental training at one of the online MT schools that have been approved by the AAMT. Those are the schools that prepare their graduates well enough to get work right out of school and for which companies will often waive experience requirements.
I am not getting my certificate for monetary
reasons. Its for me and my professional pride, which means a lot to me. As for the $$ end, I have been interviewing at several companies, and all did pay, on average, 1 cpl more for CMT. That's quite a differential to me! But I'm staying with my regular job, which does not pay a differential. Its just something I want to achieve in my career.
I'm not talking about a certificate that says you

certification v. certificate
CMT= certified medical transcriptionist.
MTs with 2+ years of acute care experience who pass a test given by the American Association for Medical Transcription (AAMT)are CMTs. They also need to prove they have accumulated a certain amount of continuing education credits every three years in order to maintain the certification. HTH.
Where'd you get that certificate? Just curious. NM

I don't have certificate or formal training and

Are you talking about a Secure Certificate?
I'm not sure if that is the same thing as an e-signature? Perhaps you mean encryption. I'm not sure why you would need to supply a secure certificate to send files to a client; encryption 128-bit encryption should be find; 256-bit even better.
MQ MT winner
I'm still waiting to hear from Frank to see if I get to go. My chapstick is all packed and I'm so excited! I just wonder...the meeting is really soon and he hasn't called yet....you don't think Frank would lie about sending one of us MT's to Hawaii do you??
The Winner Is...
The winner is listed at www.medquist.com on the left side of the page, I think. So, I guess there really was a vacation. I heard that the chapstick was our new form of benefits 
Winner
Congrats from another WI MT! 
Thank you very much! Woo Hoo, I'm a lucky winner! nm

getting cmt is kind of like getting a certificate for being an excellent top of the line blacksmith.
so what? so you jumped through all the hoops, learned the trade and now it is obsolete. but you got your little CMT to keep you warm and cozy? employers are going to pay what they are going to pay (as little as possible) and that little certificate means nothing to them in the broader scheme of MT world as it goes into the VR and offshore world.
oh but mr. national recruiter, i have a certificate and i should have 12 cpl for my skills and education....... bwaaaaahaaaaa.
Hawaii trip for 2 winner?
Does anyone know if they have announced the winner for Hawaii trip offered by MedQuist? When I filled out my entry form it said the winner would be announced on July 1, 2005. I am so curious! :)
not a winner but it doesn't matter -
Thanks for all your efforts - it was fun !
I'm the "bread winner" in my family
and my boyfriend, who doesn't work outside of the home, handles all the activities normally associated with the "housewife" role.
It's not an arrangement for everyone, but it works perfectly for us.
No complaints here :-)
I think pre-existing stuff may kick in if you have have no certificate of previous coverage.

Thanks for a fun week! I was a lucky winner and so appreciative! nm

The 1st giveaway had 92 entries with Lisa I. of CA as the winner.
Directly after announcing the first winner, the second hunt began. There is indeed an I FOUND IT message posted and will be awarded over the weekend.
GOOD LUCK!
maybe he's thinking of a plan to join forces with winner of HOH?
The thing with Kaysar is he wants to do everything perfect and wants to win so he fights to win HOH even if Janelle would not put him up for evictions. That's why people like Kaysar.
