In Reply to: I hate the word ain't. - MT in MT

Southeast, and you? nm
.
That isn't just for payroll. I am from the Southeast
and we were told by supervisors to use the method to read reports to check reports we had to send to QA if we wanted to see how they looked when the client gets them. 
Southeast Hospital....
Yes, I think my job is one of the better setups. I have done some part time with services and it makes me appreciate this job even more. The hospital is Southeast Missouri Hospital and if anyone is interested it might not hurt just to get your name into Personnel and fill out an application because when they do hire they contact Personnel first to see if they have any applications on file before they run it in the newspaper. We have about 10-12 transcriptionists living all over - Texas, Kentucky, Illinois along with those from Missouri. We use a system that is called Transcriptor from The Shams Group located in Texas. It even can be used with dial-up, which is what I am still on as I am considered "in the sticks". We have about 3-4 girls on Transnet (typing through the Internet). I actually live in Marble Hill, which is about 35 miles from Cape. Husband works as a police officer in Cape with rotating shifts and we have three children (6, 4 and 2) so the flexibility of working when is most convenient and productive for me is a win-win situation for all involved. I wish you the best of luck in looking for your "dream job".
Work in the southeast and we got paid for it.nm

MT jobs for a newbie in southeast Ohio
I am currently taking a MT course through PCDI. I should be done by December 2005. Does anyone know how of any jobs in southeast Ohio? I heard PCDI is a big joke. Is this true?
Any info is greatly appreciated.
Anybody know what living in Ky is like?
they pay you to listen to what they are saying and fix it.
I actually feel kind of sorry for the residents who have such a hard schedule, overworked, underpaid and not enough sleep. I would hate to dictate and don't think I would be very good at it. Well maybe if it was the only thing I did but not under the circumstances most of them work under. Think about it. What if on top of transcribing you had to do all the other things the doctors have to do while being sleep deprived.
Willing to listen.
If you have information, please share it. I just stumbled across this website a week or so ago. I have been totally in the dark about everything. So, please, feel free to fill me in. Don't have time to do a search since I am trying to get my line quota so I don't lose my benefits :-(
Listen to your gut sm
Listen to your instincts. You have gotten a lot of advice from this board and everyone means well, however, no one but you knows you situation completely.
As far as your boyfriend, I have been in that situation. I was "in love" with the person he "could become" but not at all happy with the person he currenlty was. I was fooling myself into thinking he would become a better person. One thing to remember is that it is impossible to change another person. If he is not what you want or need, you will have to make the decision that is right for you and your children.
Debt is a life drainer. It comes to a point that you are miserable because of debt. I've been there too. Again, do what you think is right but try not to strap yourself financially.
Best of luck to you and your family.
listen again, he is probably saying sm
pole of the right kidney. Also, are you sure 2.1 isodense lesion is not hypodense lesion also? Don't know about your "kamachium" will have to think about that one!
who do I like to listen to?
Do I get to make a last wish before the firing squad? 
Sammy Davis, Jr. (greatest entertainer of all time) - Barry Manilow (I like his newer stuff) - Maureen McGovern - Bobby Darin - Cher - some Janet Jackson - Mariah Carey - Backstreet Boys (some of their stuff) - Peabo Bryson - Luther Vandross - Anita Baker - almost anything Disco - CCR - Petula Clark - 3 Dog Night - Blood Sweat & Tears - a lot of George Michael, Jim Croce - Guess Who - Fifth Dimension - Four Seasons - David Clayton Thomas (from BS&T) - a little bit of Eric Clapton, Steve Lawrence & Edie Gorme (and the list goes on). I also have individual songs I like such as Elusive Butterfly, Green-Eyed Lady ... some stuff from the 60s (my age is showing). Not really into the 50s (but the movie Grease was fun). It all depends upon my mood from day to day.
Who I would never listen to: Janet Joplin, Rod Stewart, Jimi Hendrix, Rolling Stones (the worst!!!), most of Elvis Presley, a whole ton of 60s, rock singers, and most of today's singers.
Despise rap and don't like country ... but I do enjoy the song "The Devil Came Down To Georgia." I'll pass on opera as well.
As the line goes from the movie: I "had two 50s and moved right on into the 70s."
Okay folks ... load up the guns. 
NO. Don't listen to the OP below. Go to
You do NOT have to do that.
However, you really should build breaks into your workday so that you are only typing (not taking breaks) during your worktime.
Hours are the times you work during and they can make whatever coverage hour requirements they want.
Lines are what you are producing and paid by. So you want to be as productive as possible while you are working during your coverage times.
Listen to your QA
Do not fight over it..but yes, those are all things that you should know having worked for 15+ years, not to mention any client preferences. Home MTs are always held to high standards over in-house, it is a fact that you have to learn to live with but a fact nonetheless. Most of the feedback you listed, I would be ashamed if I I was not consistent with my spacing, did not know the proper way to type an age, etc. If that does not bother you, keep in mind that if SHE is the one to you your next review, you know she will have a copy of the email you were sent stating that you were made aware of the guidelines.
and I ALWAYS say NOT to listen...nm
listen please
i've moved around, changed jobs a lot in my 32 yr of MTing. There have been times after even 10-15 yr in the business, that i sat down to something and it sounded like the words had been blenderized; i thought i'd never get it. Times i cried and thought i didn't have it any more. You HAVE to stick with it; that IS the key. I do strongly recommend working in-house a good while before you try doing this work in your home. You'll be okay and do well in due time, if you don't give up.
Listen to the
whole tape. Not the partial tape the media played. It is online, just Google for it and make sure that it states unedited. I explains a lot. You are correct that only one source has the right to pass judgment on him. I would also like to say that I have found a friend's father has an extremely interesting take on the use of this word. He is a black man, a professor. In part, if we forget this word exists, if we cover our eyes or ears every time we see or hear it, then we are ignoring an important part of history and an important movement by an entire race, then it could all happen again. Besides, if you ask 20 people their definition of that word you may be surprised. It does not mean the same thing to everyone and it some have more than one definition for it.
On another note, since it has been used in myriads of books, should we remove those all from libraries and burn them?
Personally, I have used this as a learning tool for my grandchild, how words mean something, words can change your life. I have explained to him how sometimes there are people in this world who will do anything to make a buck regardless of whom it hurts. I have shown him how one bad impression could change affect him adversely. I have explained that just because you hear something (a word, a rumor, etc.) it is not okay to repeat it unless you are willing to pay the price and be accountable for that action.
Listen to this one......SM
About a billion years ago I worked for MQ in Fort Lauderdale, Fl. MT I worked with made approximately $80,000 a year. We worked on a difficult ESL account. There was one doctor who only dictated discharge summaries, about a page and a half long. This MT added canned text to make each report about five pages long. She found a pretty routine physical exam, ROS, FH, SH, etc, by the same dictator and pasted it into every discharge summary report, along with whatever routine text she felt she could get away with. The doctor never complained because he could barely speak English and had the best looking reports in the hospital system. MQ was told about this repeatedly by other MTs but they did nothing about it because they were making so much money from her padded reports. Unbelievable. She's probably still there, but now up to $100,000 a year!
need someone to listen
Well, you caught my attention. Did you know that many brilliant/intelligent people suffer from depression? My advice to you is to contact your local community health program and immediately get help with your depression. They usually have fees based on your income. Maybe you suffer from ADHD also, no friends, or not many. Please get some help. "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." You could have a very productive life, making money, making friends. I have been and am from a family with alcoholism/depression/drugs and you have all of the classic signs of crying out for help, just don't know where to get it or whom to trust. You are too young to be like this. I have a son your age and I know he has ups and downs, but you really need help and I want to encourage you and tell you what a good person you are and that there are plenty of people who will help you. Just remember that ending your life is not the answer. Please get help for that brilliant mind of yours today. You have accomplished so many things and should be very proud of yourself. You may seem lost now, but just reach out and get your help and learn how you can be productive and be happy. Everyone deserves to be happy.
Listen to everything.

QA might have to listen to all the above but
if you ever worked inhouse you would know that 2 sets of ears are better than just 1. I would listen only to ask for help and then the next person could hear it perfectly well. This could possibly be the same for QA, another pair of ears out there for our words that we cannot make out.
Someone like that is never going to listen
They know what they know and you are not going to be able to tell them differently. It's unfortunate, because it sounds like she has a lot of hopes set on the scenario that has been laid out to her. It's too bad we can't go back and expose that school or her source somehow.
I'd just say, okay, whatever you think. Let me know how it goes. You'll never hear from her again, or if you do, you know darn well it won't be truthful.
You want to make a living don't you?
Then you listen to idiot dictators. You want to be in the spotlight and be on TV, stay in Aruba. You want to grieve the loss of your daughter privately, stay at home and appoint a spokesperson. You ultimately make choices about what you do based on facts and necessities. It is NOT NECESSARY for Mrs. Twitty to be in Aruba or if she decides she rests more easily in Aruba it is NOT NECESSARY for her to give press conferences acusing people of being criminals or incompetency.
the living conditions
The only life they know is confinement and pain. From the little I let myself watch, they have absolutely no room to move, they are crammed and shoved in together. They don't get to roam and do whats natural to them outdoors. They are being born and raised primarily to be brutalized for crop. Like a canned food factory. They get their body parts cut off, injuries from other animals, and have to live in physical pain until they are ready to be put out of their misery for whatever purpose they serve.
In all honesty, I absolutely love meat and enjoy it on rare occasions, and it is meant for us to consume. There is another way to do it! They cannot be treated as if they do not have feelings, they 'feel' pain, the mother's are distressed when their calves are taken away, the calves are scared, you see it in their eyes, as another living thing, you have got to connect with this. Its an awful way for any living thing to go through, even in a short time.
I can see being raised on a farm, room to roam, be outside, run, eat normally, socialize with their breed, have a life. They do not know the better that they are being raised for our consumption, there are living in peace without pain and living freely. Being crammed, thrown around, beaks cut off, having throats slit, hung upside down while still alive thriving in pain is not a peaceful life.
Sounds like you are living beyond
your means or you've got absolutely the lowest paying 3 positions in the world, which still means you are living beyond your means if you can't afford to simply live.
The house pymt, car pymt and utilities and food -- those things are supposed to be put on "the paper" when you budget.
I feel for you but something truly isn't adding up here. I don't believe you're in as hot water as you say. SOunds like either super poor money mgmt or a strange sense of priorities.
Either way, good luck.
wouldn't that be the living end?
Talk about production!!!
However, that only works if the person who has dictated the voice file is also the one who trained Dragon on the system. IOW, Dr Smith has DNS 8 Med Suite in his office, and he's trained it enough to provide a good level of accuracy. He can dictate into the mobile unit, say, after seeing a patient, but things still have to be in the same manner that he dictates into DNS on his home system. He can give the voice file to his office manager to upload and do the editing.
But you can't do that with Dr Smith's dictation, unless Dr Smith has sat at your computer and trained it. As soon as you input the voice file, your system will give you a great big "do what?"
I hope this explains things better.
living it for the past 2.5 yrs---
my ex quite working a legal job so he doesn't have to pay support. my 3 yo son was able to get insurance through the state but it was very hard to get (and didn't keep it) they don't cover that much. the state keeps rewriting the laws and cut benefits each time. I'm an ic and have my own health ins for my son and myself. I'm robbing peter to pay paul right now and probably will be for a long time. we're doing without a lot of things so that I don't have to take a job outside of the house not to mention that I couldn't afford full time child care. I would try getting extra side jobs so that you could stay home. I worked 3 jobs for 2 years and went down to one job that promised full time work a couple of months ago and needless to say they haven't kept up their end of the deal-as usual-so I'm looking to pick up at least 1 other job. the peace of mind knowing that I'm here and flexible, especially if my son gets sick, isn't worth trading right now.
Look at working for a living like this: (SM)
YOU don't work for SOMEONE/COMPANY. You work for yourself (even if you're an employee). I say that because you are working to provide your own needs, not those of whomever benefits from your work. You arre responsible for providing for yourself and it is your personal responsibility to make sure your own needs are met. If the beneficiary of your need to work (i.e., pay bills, earn money, whatever) is not providing what you need, you owe it to yourself to take care of yourself and find enough work to achieve that goal.
Now, I'm not saying don't have a team attitude or be selfish, demanding, negative, self centered, but when you think about it, NO one is going to take better care of you than YOU! If you are sitting around waiting for someone else to take care of you, then you are not taking care of yourself. Get proactive! Find a supplement source of income. The first company doesn't need to know what you are doing...besides, if you are an IC, by IRS guidelines, YOU are in control, not them. They only need you IF they need you and have no obligation to be reliable in meeting your financial needs.
Really meaning to help.

Cost of living
Could someone live comfortably in the Phillipines on $2000 per month net with adult and 1 teenager?
Living in the Philipines
I'm sure that is a lot of money to them...however, I'm quite happy here in the US...I'm not sure many people could live the life they live there or would want to. It's a beautiful place, but lots of poverty...A friend of mine married a girl from there years ago, and she told me stories...so, I'm thankful to be in the US
8 cpl. is too low for ANYONE living and working
8
I like MM, too. I have a bunch of CDs here that I listen to
while I'm working. I like all types of music.
I wont even listen to me
on my voicemail!! ewwww, I know I sound like a geek, or a little kid, or tired, or ...... 
Listen, I do not want to offend anybody
here. That is not the reason for my coming here. I was just warning people of what I suspected. Other people must suspect it too or they would not be responding either. We are just sick of it! This person is ruining the board. I will leave it alone. Sorry.
Listen to your friend
That is just so not true. We truly value our employees and ICs. I have never said "go find another job".. Whenever I get complaints, I appreciate them and try to fix them. Even on this board, I feel that some of the MT's comments are very valid and I have to re-evaluate several things. And guess what? I will because I DO CARE about MTs. I am you.

Please listen to your friend....

Listen to him on radio
I sometimes listen to him while doing my late afternoon pick-up and deliveries on the radio. I have also found out that a lot of time giving praise and appreciation to them when they do the job -- even though it is not to our satisfaction or as well as we can --gives them incentive to do more. We don't like to be cut down all the time and have to re-do and so even though it may not be up to my standards I try to let the kids know that I appreciate it -- unless of course they have done a poor job on purpose -- another subject.
Listen to your daughter on this one
You may be distracted with worrying about her and not "be there" for your hubby 100%. As other posters have said, she can visit & pay her respects at the graveside, on her own time.
My son was only 5 when my Gramps died and though I took him to the visitation (I had not sitter) with every intention of keeping him away from the open casket, he managed to get up there anyway.
He's 22 now and when my mother passed away 2 years ago, the one he was very very close to, she was cremated and we had such a casual memorial for her. He was able to speak about their good times and how he would always know she was with him when he heard Nat King Cole, etc.
He told me later that this was so much "cooler" than when great gramps died. "Never let me lay in a casket for people to just stare at Mom". So, even though he was just 5 at the time, he remembers it clearly.
My sympathies to your hubby and all.
To MT Student - Listen
Ms. Student, please don't stick with the MT program just because there is an Illinois MT who makes $22 and hour at a hospital. You should realize that, even tho God Bless this Illiniois MT and that's GREAT for her, almost NOBODY makes anywhere near $22/hour in a hospital setting with full benefits anymore. This is a M-I-N-O-R-I-T-Y position with realistically less than 10% of the medical transcription population at large making this kind of money, so don't start drooling. (Entities like MedQuist, etc., have seen to it that our jobs went to pasture from the hospital, FYI. We just love MedQuist. They are fine folk. ) Anyway, it is incredibly hard to get the money you deserve and you only get it after putting in at least a DECADE or more of doing this job, and it just isn't worth it. Check out another field. This one is way out in Left.
Listen to the nerve of this one!
over and when I stood at the door, not letting her in, she pushed her way in anyway. I told her I was working and she said,"That's okay I will just sit in the chair beside you AND NOT TALK!" Oh, and she did...but her baby didn't, he cried and screamed until he fell asleep and she sat there and looked at me for over an hour. Let me tell you, that will never happen again. Learned my lesson then and there!
Only if you listen to infomercials ;-)

Listen to Patti...
I don't know her personally, but she seems to be up on the IC stuff from what I've read of her posts. She seems to be knowledgable. I also use Express Scribe, but have not had experience with Express Dictation. He may have to purchase a handheld, and then you charm his staff into uploading this for you. You will also probably need to figure a way to gain the patient demographics, most likely through e-mail! Work it out! Plus, since he's sending you home, you can do other work, and he'll be one the wiser, if you'd like! Freedom, aahhhh yes, freedom!!! lol Just trying to be helpful......
But listen, have been doing just the above for some time
because was told by my income tax person that I could deduct the room where I work, the cost of my DSL lines, telephone and so forth and I worked up until this past July as someone else's employee, never as an IC until around November. Now I am confused.
I just had to listen to a dictation
that the doctor finished the dictation but forgot to disconnect or upload or whatever and some office workers or nurses or someone were in there talking about sex and different guys in the office and what they can do to themselves!!! I have had my laugh for today!!
If Drs would listen to their own dictation, they would know
uio
I used to listen to one do number 2
I did work for one doctor who made a habit of dictating while on the toilet. It was many years ago, I worked in a hospital and finally started taking the tapes to the hospital administrator, who agreed that it was beyond my duty to have to listen to the physician grunt, fart, plop and flush. Of course, those were back in the days when MTs were regarded as real people. He told the doctor to stop it or the hospital would no longer require the MTs to do his work and told me to destroy any future recordings done on the toilet so they could be redictated. It stopped.
Is she trying to listen to .dss files?
You mention that she had to reload everything, which I would assume means she reloaded ES as well. The newest version has a bug that doesn't play the .dss files. Apparently NCH has been made aware of it but don't hold your breath on a quick fix since it is free software.
I have older versions (4.02 and 4.15) of the ES setup that I can send to your friend. Please have her email me at momtypes @ comcast.net.
You listen to the audio with
your mouse. UGH! I have tested and was a CMT in the past, but for many reasons, I did not renew in 2006. Recently, I have been thinking of taking the test again. I have transcribed so many years with that foot pedal that I am really a mess trying to get through an audio file with the mouse and keyboard. How long in minutes would you say an entire audio was? Congratulations! The pay raise you received is a great incentive!
Young man, listen up.
Your a very intelligent person and you seem really mature to the world. Inside you feel like you are crumbling, I completely understand that. Remember ther is always a tomorrow and always something better out there. If you are not happy doing the work that you are doing, its not the work, there is something holding you back. You definitely need to see either a therapist or a TRAINED medical profession to talk about this with. And don't wait, do it NOW. So many times people wait and it becomes too late. You are going to be fine and God will help you through any challenges you come across. If the physicians give you medications, take it. If it has side effects, don't stop taking it, call your physician and he can put you on another medication that does not have those side effects.
This is going to be a very long and very rewarding process and you will start feeling better about yourself. Don't give up and don't listen to people who just tell you to suck it up and get a job. Obviously they have been so lucky to never have experienced depression before. I pray that you will only have the best of luck in all you do.
