not to burst your bubble but (sm)
(and not trying to be mean) are you actually having to hit a key to make this noise?  If so, all those Keystrokes by the end of the day add up to that many lines that you WON'T get paid before.  You could have been making actual paid-for keystrokes instead.
Sorry to burst your bubble
My cardiologist's office has been using EMR for years.  One of the early versions of their program is on display at the Smithsonian.  The documentation is clear, clean and accurate.  He let me see it because I used to transcribe for the office.  Now they have a Transcriptionist only for letters.  A nurse does the triage - vital signs, review of meds, allergies and past history.  The doc is as focused on me during the exam as he ever was.  He enters the data at the end of the visit.  I have no complaints.  They are a huge practice and have many offices.  The office I go to is not the one at the hospital where I would go in an emergency - but they can easily get my record on their VPN.  No waiting until the office opens to pull a chart and then truck it to the hospital.  Their EMR required a lot of programming to get all the drop down boxes and choices, but it's wonderful!  And yes, they have back-up and security up the wazoo. 
No, sorry to burst YOUR bubble, but...
I have read and did some research on the EMR and a lot of patients did NOT like the fact that there doctors typed away on the keyboard more than examining them. Not all patients or staff is so easily sold on this technology. Like any other system, it takes a while to learn and get the kinks out, but the thought of a doc typing in the exam room while listening to me still leaves me with a bad feeling.
I hate 2 burst ur bubble...
But U truly R barking up the wrong tree, lady! Sheesh - manhater???
I hate to burst your bubble but....
the drugs, sex, pregnancies, and all the rest flourish in the private schools too.  Have you heard of the principal in New York who cancelled the prom because of all the extravagance and partying that occurs after their proms?  My best  friend went to catholic high school 25 yrs ago and 7 girls were pregnant at graduation.  Then there's the troubled kids who are dumped into private schools after the public schools after they are expelled.  It's nice to think that you can insulate your precious offspring from all the nastiness in the world, but you'll better serve them by teaching them values and morals at home and how to resist those things  which are bad for them.  Your kids will gravitate towards the kind of kids that  they are.  I have a high school senior who has never been in trouble, has nice friends, and knows how to resist the bad stuff that's out there.
Dont want to burst a bubble
but I think you should think about a plan of action before deciding on the first thing that is suggested!

Be careful that an action you take is going to advance your cause - not just get you fired. :)

I think I might start a blog.


I hate to burst your bubble....
....and they seem to be able spin a good tale.....do a search on Focus, and you will see that they are not the most up and up company out there. I'm afraid you'll find it's very hard to make a good living with them, even if you do work graveyard shift and get a good differential. I would hope I'm wrong, and you do well. But it's highly doubtful, as dozens of QA would tell you who have been there, done that...
I hate to burst your perverted bubble.
Maybe you are a molestor and would get off on knowing that I was molested, but I wasn't, so sorry.
But I am only 120 lbs, with a "cute" bubble! nm

Do you ever get that annoying *bubble*

in your ear?  I have one in my left ear today and I can't get it to go away.  You know, when you talk and you can hear yourself really LOUD!  I have tried popping my ears....I tried irrigation....I thought I may have had water in it from my shower this morning, but nope.  It's driving me nuts and has made it very difficult to hear on that side today.  Does anyone have any tips on getting it to go away?


 


Head bubble
Yes, it's disgusting. Try submerging your head under water, i.e., swimming or tub, etc. When you come up, pinch both sides of your nose closed and blow as hard as you can. Usually works for me. Good luck.
You can do stretches, but ultimately it may take an oral prednisone burst or

Yeah..call me crazy but I pack it in bubble wrap and pillows..You'd be going a little further so
As far as a laptop, it's a hassle, but you can take that in a carryon bag so you know it would be knocked around. The worst part is that you have to take it out everytime you go through security at the airports but it isnt bad. I just ordered a laptop today so I can start taking that and retire my desktop..that is as long as this new adapter I just bought works like others say it will. My husband is bascially retired and I hated that he could travel without me so I quit my in-house jobs to go home this year doing transcription and now that summer is here and our little one is out of school, we're off and running. Vegas this month, then Calfornia the next..etc... I love this job!!!
That is a good offer. Pay is not that good at UIMC. Good luck! nm

Any rose gardeners out there? Good roses that are disease proof and smell good?
I heard good things about Knockout Rose but they don't smell too much like traditional rose.  Supposedly blooms all season.

Agree with other poster.. good price..good service
I definitely think they are one of the best out there. We also have been talked through issues over the phone and also had a warranty in which they came out and fixed it right at our home. My only complaint..and I am sorry for saying this.. but... when you call their customer service 9 out of 10 times...you get someone who barely speaks English and I just hate that. I think that is true of a lot of customer support centers these days, ironically they are rarely American anymore. I am not prejudice at all. I just find it frustrating to call in for help and the help you get barely understands you and you do not understand them, thus making the experience very frustrating..
Expensive is right -- around $300 per credit hour! But they do have a good rep. Good luck! nm

I believe Pilates is good for shaping and strength, but you still need some cardio for good fat

Good for you. Sounds very interesting and a good chance of pace - sm

but I live in the northeast and not much need for that where I live.  I also live in a small town so that limits my options.  I have spent the last couple of years as a substitute teacher to supplement my MT job and just completed 4-1/2 months as a long term sub which I enjoyed and was a change of pace from MT.  The only problem is as a sub or ed tech you only get paid during the school year so I would have to keep my MT job for summers and school vacations.  With the way things are going in the MT world I hate to rely solely on that.  I don't want to find myself without any job whatsoever.   


Thanks for all the responses.    


8 is NOT good if never going any higher - good to get the rust out in the short term though

Is the dictation quality good, are the dictators good, are you
a newbie and you still have to look up lots of words ....   The very first day I typed, with absolutely no education way back when, when you didn't have to have a degree/certificate or previous experience, I typed 665 lines.  This was without an expander and I was not a fast typist.   I can do 1000 lines in about 4 hours now on average. 
LOL! Well, good! I've done ONE good thing today, then. NM

I am sure MQ will change their policies now because of the actions you took. Congrats.
Yep, a good MTSO will get rid of the crappy doctor, not the good MT...sm
unfortunately, there aren't many MTSOs out there who will confront a poor dictator and nip it in the bud to begin with.

In the old days we used to do this all the time. A doctor was put on report and told to shape up and if he didn't he would either be charged more because they had to pay an MT more to do his lousy dictation, or he was always given the option to do his own reports if he wouldn't comply.

Believe it or not, almost every physician my former company did this to straightened up their act became good dictators and found that it was actually less stressful and less time consuming for them too!!

The MTSOs just don't have the guts to do this anymore... and they should. I can make more money on good dictators with a lower line rate than crappy dictators at a higher rate, and would rather have the better dictators and lower rate than the other... it's a win-win for both the MT and MTSO because the MT is making more money per hour and the MTSO gets to pay less for her MTs and make a better profit. I can't believe the MTSOs haven't figured this one out.
This is not a good choice. There are too many good schools

that have proven their worth. Andrews, MTEC and even Career Step, but I would not choose a school that has spammed the internet in every crack there is as the one you have mentioned.  Find some graduates and see what they have to say.  Go to mtchat.com and do a search of this school. 


Thank you too! A good laugh is a good thing.

I really wish you good health and good luck!

I know that what you are doing is a major undertaking.  Just remember that this is what you want and that you CAN do it!  It won't be easy by any stretch of the imagination, but once you have accomplished it, you will truly know what you are capable of.  I think you are very brave.  Please know that all of us are pulling for you and are here to help you if you need it.  Go to the hospital if you are feeling at all unsure or unstable.  Don't give up because the reward will be great.  Please let us know how you are doing.


Pulling for you!

Transcribing from tapes on a Selectric typewriter with 3 or 4 carbons and white out, no spellcheck, no expansion program, no internet for research.  
I agree! To be a good MT we must take the good with the bad!
It sometimes takes longer to learn ESL docs and is a pain in the butt, but all that does not kill us makes us stronger!! I don't love doing ESL docs by any means, but if I want a job - I need to do what my employer asks of me. Take the good and bad - or find a new job! I applaud you for working with your MTs, but you really shouldn't have to! I have only been an MT for two years and I cannot imagine telling my boss that I am not willing to learn something. How rude!
Oh, that's good! Cruel, but good! LOL!

Good for you!
There's a reason kids are cruel to animals and it is never the animals fault, but usually something in the environment of the kid.

I am so glad you had the camera running, but I sure wouldn't leave that pup outside alone when you are not around. He doesn't deserve to pay for the poor parenting that kid has to endure.
