Thank you SOooo much MQA !...
Just what I needed! You don't know how much you have helped! I have printed your response. I was trying to make it too hard by overthinking like I always do. My physical therapist keeps hinting that one of their (at home) transcriptionists left, HINT HINT, and I have been afraid to talk to the office manager because of all of the logistics stuff.

One more question: About the 3$ a page...could you explain a little more about that. What about half pages and the like? Have you figured out what kind of cpl that equals? However, the 3$ a page sounds like a much easier way to calculate the bill.
Thanks again!
That is SOOOO right-on!

you are soooo right.

Thank you soooo much. I thought it was just me.

That Indian MT who lives in the US story and cherry picks while not wanting to do Indian bad dictators just was too much!  And the insider who told the MT this was happening.   Wow!  For two months!!!  How long should it take for the Indian MT to cherry pick before she does the Indian dictators?   Blah, blah, blah.  How and why do people do this to themselves?


It is the nature of the business just like sales.  You win some, you lose some.  There is feast and there is famine.  Do the work while it is there because tomorrow it may be dry.  Don't like the work, get another job.

MTStars and Executive Communications!


:) Happy MT week!  You've made this a really special week for all of us.

I'm sorry, but I would have soooo just walked out of there.
That HAD to be awkward.
I soooo can relate to you!.....sm
Please don't feel so bad, menopause affects your mood, temperament, just so many things about your body that you are used to! I had a radical hysterrectomy back in 2000, so I had to go through menopause "instantly." I could not take the patch and hated HRT, so I have been using naturopathic supplements to help....but depression, mood swings, cravings, the HORRIFIC night sweats and hot flashes, lowered libido....I got it all, and it really is a transition. Could you perhaps speak with a compassionate female therapist, not necessarily a psychiatrist, but someone who understands what you are going through and can hash out all of the issues that are bothering you? Just know that I care, you have friends here, and please feel free to e-mail me anytime, okay?
soooo true
I was hired as a QA manager and the company I work for have been trying to demote me every chance they get, promoting the less qualified, etc etc. It is clear that a good MT is more valuable to a company as just that, an MT. Sooo try not to be as good and you might move up in the ranks. LOL;
Thank you guys soooo much!
I knew this was the place to come to get help! 
Soooo true!
Well spoken.  No one seems to care that these foreign parasites are compromising the integrity of their own patient records with their slovenly dictation styles!!!!!!!!!!!
Laughing - you are soooo right
QA is overrated and yes they do need to get themselves.... QA are MTs that think they know more than a regular MT... in a nutshell.... 
some people are soooo lucky!

Oh yeah, I am soooo scared!
What are you gonna do, ride your horse over here and get me???????
Your BOS post is soooo true! sm

There are so many newer MT's who don't know the facts where BOS is concerned.  I use my BOS everyday....  it elevates my monitor to just the right height. 


 


Soooo weird. Hmmmm
This post refers to the posts below from the ICs from TRX (I am one) - I find it interesting that a person would come on here and call someone out of there name (the owner) and then walk away without explaining how he/she came to their conclusion.  Seems a person would want to make their case or maybe just persons like myself and the other IC who stood up to ask why.  I'm so confused.  I guess we're all just different that way.    Some people are yellow and some aren't.  That's right, I said it. 
Ok..I will soooo not watch SVU anymore if they
split up Olivia and Elliot!! OMG what a show tonight!
MS Word SOOOO Slow
Has anyone ever experienced a very slow MS Word program all of a sudden?  It is very slow to get into and exit from MS Word 2002. Once in the program it is fine and all other programs on computer seem to work fine.  Wondering if I may have too many autocorrect and autotext entries??  Any help would be appreciated.  have tried everything can think of, even added much memory.  Thanks.
Wow to Technical Support! Thanks soooo much! ....
for your extensive answer!
I'll start with cleaning up my mouse and working up from there if this does not work.
I'll let you know.
There are still very kind, knowledgable, helpful and generous people in this world, THANKS !
I was soooo lucky... my son was potty trained at 2..
He had his 2nd birthday party on Saturday, and on Monday he started potty training.  Never bought another diaper.  Two weeks later, he was in underwear during the day.  But, I took him regularly and monitored his juice intake.  Thirty minutes after dinner was the last full drink.  He would go potty right before bedtime at 8pm and maybe get a little juice if he asked for it.  Since I worked nights, I would wake him up (or just take him sleep) to the bathroom at around 12am or 12:30am.  He would wake up dry most mornings, but he wore Pull-Ups until he was about 2-1/2.  He is 7 now and has an accident every blue moon, mainly because he falls asleep in bed without going to the bathroom right before getting in bed.  Proud of him.  Yours will get there too. 
I agree, and I work for MQ! Sooo boring, soooo old, and
you would think they'd realize how idiotic they look - whining and whining and predicting doom and gloom! Honestly, MQ and Philips is BOOMING in the business world right now.  Huge advances the last few months - HUGE sales of products, advances, awards in the industry.  I get email alerts daily on the HUGE growth of MQ - and these old sea-hags just sit on here and cackle about DOOM.  Boy, do they need a reality check, or what? All is fine in MQ world, and always, always will be!  As long as you're willing to work and have a brain, MQ is a great place to work! Oh, yeah, and I'm mgmt - making 6 figures and even remotely interested in sea-hag opinions! That is just soooooooooooooo lame, too! Or maybe I'm the same poster from below who always uses CAPS! That is sooooooooooo funny. Cracked up at that analysis - some of these women have way toooooooo much time on their hands rather than hitting the keyboard! Analysing posts to compare typing styles. Give me a break! What a hoot!
Soooo...what are you saying? That people should post something that is worthy of the board in SM
your estimation? Would you like to have the monitors delete this post about KL and Regis? What is it that you want? Or would YOU like to think of a transcription topic and post it? What's the deal?
I love Directv. The picture is soooo much clearer than cable. sm
Prices in our area are comparable between cable and DirecTV.  If you look at their website, you can pull up comparison charts showing exactly which channels are on each service package.  You can sort them by number or alphabetically and print them out if necessary.
Problems as in communication?? If so, I'm soooo there. Sick of unanswered emails. No one cares

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!


good for you; you'll get more from it, with good socialization,
