I pick-up and drop-off work too.

You can probably get 12 cpl (65 characters w/spaces).  Do not limit yourself to per page at this point.  Start your bid at that, and then depending upon what you see come your way, you may want to change that over to per page, but I seriously think you'll do better at 12 cpl and paid production.  I just picked-up my own account about 3 weeks ago and am charging just that, so e-mail me if you want more info, but the doc is fine with the 12 cpl.  Congrats!  And, ENT should be a breeze if you've done other specialties.  Also, don't forget to ask for samples!!!!! 


I still pick up tapes and drop off reports.

I think we're a little over the edge here with the privacy issues.  I love my tape jobs and I like getting out.  I write off the mileage.  I get paid more per line as well with my own accounts even if I have to drive. 


You are right in that some physicians don't want the hassle and or empty promises of the big national companies.


 


Nope. Let mine drop years ago.

let's do it, pick a day, nobody works, pick a busy day

Vacuum

I have a Hoover Fusion and just love it.  I have a long-hair cat and a 13-year-old and I cannot believe the sunction on this vacuum.  It comes with many attachments.  It is bagless and very easy to empty from the bottom.  I believe they have it at Walmart for around $139.00.  Highly recommend it.


vacuum
I recently bought the Eureka Boss, cannister, for $75 at Big Lots - what a bargain and I love it.
Where can I get this vacuum system? NM

vacuum cleaners -- value vs. cost?
Oreck?  Wal-Mart versions? what do you know from experience?
Great Vacuum Cleaner
Riccar Vacuum Cleaners are the only way to go. Very strong suction. Easy to use.
You blow me away....nobody was asking

your OPINION.  It was just a question. Gosh.  Nobody taking a pole on whether or not they want to answer a question either.  Start your own thread about what you want to gripe about....MAYBE there are some other "attitudes" waiting to jump and pounce and turn something simple into an "opinon" session.


Oh, I make about 27K thankyouverymuch.


DID NOT BLOW YOU FAR ENOUGH AWAY


GEEZ............ GET A LIFE


 


When we get them, now and then, I just vacuum them up....takes care of the problem. - nm

The Dyson...it's very expensive, but it's the best vacuum you'll ever own!

BLOW YOUR NOSE....PLEASE!!
        I am about to lose my mind.  If this dictator could just blow her nose and stop sucking snot.  Can't help having a cold, but even my children would BLOW THEIR NOSE.  Then maybe she could stop choking on phlegm.  A little consideration, PLEASE!
Oh I have one of those too. I just want to say BLOW YOUR NOSE!!!

Number one, No, I did not know it would blow up

As I said, I had never encountered this situation before. How could I know what would happen when I posted this?


Number two, you don't see me posting the patient's name, do you, or even my own name so that this post could in any conceivable way be connected to the patient.


My only concern was the patient's privacy. I have worked in-house and I know how many people see x-ray reports, people that you hope are reliable and honest and follow HIPAA rules but I know for a fact not all of them do.


This is exactly why I would not go to the police or for medical help if I were raped unless I were practically dying.


Need some good advice on a GREAT vacuum cleaner...sm
We vacuum at least twice daily because we bought carpet that tracks like you would not believe.  We bought a Eureka bagless vacuum cleaner about 4 months ago and it is the pits!  Does not pick up, you have to REALLY clean it every time...who knows what the real problem is...I would not mind paying good money for a GOOD vacuum cleaner that does not lose suction...Any ideas?
Any suggestions on a good Vacuum at a reasonable price?
I would love to have a Dyson but they are a little over my budget.  Thanks!
Hey, didn't those things used 2 blow up?
When U got hit from behind??? My advice:  Dump it!
I would try a blow dryer to it on low and then wait a bit if you can. I had this (SM)
happen when I worked with Lanier years ago with a cup of coffee and after a good day of drying it out it worked. Other than that, I would say you probbaly have to look on the internet for one, as they are not usually carried in any of the stores, etc.

I really hope this helps and that is all it is. Sorry I can't help much more than that, but maybe if you post your location another MT in your area might be able to help with a loaner or something.
You can but you may blow up autocorrect because there is a limit
to how many entries you can put in autocorrect. The Productivity Talk forum has instructions.
I admire your ability to forgive and hopefully this will all blow over - however, that being said,

please make sure that Animal Control did not list this as an "incident" so that it may not be used against your dog in the future, even if no charges were filed.  A lot of states have a strict "no bite or 3 bite" policy and would not want this to count against your dog later in life.  My brother-in-law's dog bit a child when it got tangled up in her bicycle wheels (granted she should not have been that close to the child in the first place), so we've learned to be very careful about our animals. 


How ridiculous! Does ANYONE have that kind of money to blow? If I
PLENTY of other things to do with it!  Pay bills, go on vacation, put it in savings, pay my kids college tuition.
Can you blow a hairdryer on low on it or a space heater on low? Might help. nm
s
Can anywone recommend a good vacuum cleaner? My old one broke and has to be replaced. Thanks. NM
nm
I've had a sniffler - blow your nose for heaven's sake!

Sticky 'note' ...not stone. All notes have an opportunity to blow away.

Let it go. 


blow up pools - does anyone know if there are permits required by the town you live in for these?
nm
Vacuum the house a lot, garlic powder and brewer's yeast (not baking yeast) sm,,,
in all the dogs' food, and definitely give the little one a bath. You'll  need to comb the fleas and their dander and eggs out wtih a flea comb. My dogs used to love this. During flea season, I'd get on the floor and comb them after dinner every night. Have a bowl of soapy water handy (with the flea soap if possible) and dip the comb in the bowl when you start and especially after you find the fleas (and ticks!) on the comb to drown them. Residual soap will help keep them off the pooch. Fleas congregate at the base of the tail and in the groin area. Get puppy used to combing and he/she will come to love it as part of normal grooming. An herbal flea collar might help, too. The other dogs will need to be watched for fleas, too. Good luck!
MQ drop down box
Came with the new update @ 4:00 am yesterday, the one that had the system shut down for 2 hours.  Gave plenty of notice and if you check the little box next time you go into DocQmanage, you can read all about the new and improved :)
I would drop by

I always pursue until they tell me that they have gone with someone else.  I am not super aggressive I just let them know I am interested.  But it does sometimes take a while to get an answer but it sure wouldn't hurt to drop a brochure by or at least mail one out.  Whose grandson was screaming in the background?  If it was your MIL that could have been a turn off but not sure.  Anyway good luck, see if she will let you become the Public Relations and you start pursuing accounts.  


 


Let's drop this

I have getting lots of email with SUPPORTIVE ANSWERS to my questions. The rest on this board are a bunch of hostile women too lazy to read what I wrote. I took early retirement because my children are defending a bunch of slackers ande users in Afghanistan and Iraq and there are three grandchildren to keep. I live a four hour round trip from the other grandma they are living with. I am not trying to cheat ANYONE you nasty. I was trying to find out HOW to become an IC and WHAT the best tax options were. Don't tell me YOUR sorry behind is paying unecessary taxes. It is PERFECTLY LEGAL TO HAVE THE TAX TAKEN OUT OF HIS PAY. Till I got sick and my children were deployed, I was the breadwinner in this family and I earned $60K a year. Then I had heart failure, diabetes and lost toes in my feet and I STILL worked. But I will not toss my grandchildren out. I am 62 and I HAVE to work but I cannot work full time. That bothers you? If it was immoral or illegal, then the government would not ALLOW you to work and collect social security at the same time, you fool. But they DO, but ONLY UP TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT. If you can't answer a simple question, stop bashing me. I am not doing a singlething immoral or illegal and I have had four offers already from THIS web site that are within my restrictions. If it was illegal, would they do it??? NOT!


Now drop it and leave me alone.


Why drop him?

You have nothing to lose, but everything to gain.  I don't quite understand.  Once they dictate, then type it when you can.  You can only be as consistent as they are, so if it takes longer to get it back to them, then so be it.  If it is good income that you don't want to lose, I would stick it out. 


Furthermore, you are making yourself look bad by complaining.  If he comes across a colleague that may be looking for a transcriptionist, he may not recommend you due to your complaining.  You want to keep a good reputation.  JMO.


Drop dead.

perhaps you could drop your TC a note...sm
just to say hi, and welcome.  She/he has many, many more people to get in touch with than you do, so why not make the first move? I'm not at all trying to be ugly, please don't take it that way, it's just, why not just send a message saying hi, and introducing yourself? Just a thought! Good luck with whatever you choose to do!!!
perhaps you could drop your TC a note...
I guess you mean Transcription Coordinator -- what I called my new supervisor. I hear you, but I really don't see that as my responsiblity. MQ is so chaotic, I always get the impression they'd greatly prefer not to be bothered. I'm kinda way past that point with that. Thanks for the welcome anyhow.
perhaps you could drop your TC a note...
I think you've misunderstood me. I agree completely with your most recent post, i.e. being left alone to do my job. Absolutely. I just don't think a courtesy note from a new supervisor is too much to ask. That's not breathing down my neck; IMO, that's courtesy, i.e. Here I am, I'm your new supervisor, here's how things may or may not change, just wanted to say hi and make proper notation of the fact that a change has taken place. WHATEVER.
perhaps you could drop your TC a note...
Okay, now you're making me mad. You don't know me, and you have no right to lump me into a goup with "(my) fellow nut-case MTs" ...and you have the gall to say "nothing personal"? Freakish behavior? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! Wow, I came on here looking for some support, and now I'm a freak and a nut case. No thanks! See y'all around!!!
perhaps you could drop your TC a note...
Read your phrase: "your fellow nut-case MTs." It does not say "your fellow MTs, some of whom are nut cases."

Read your phrase: "freakish behavior en masse." It does not say "the freakish behavior of some MTs."

Both of these groupings include me. You are guilty of bad syntax and just plain rudeness. I consider these equally offensive. I most certainly did not fly off of any handle, nor did I (until now) TAKE TO WRITING IN CAPITAL LETTERS TO EXPRESS MY OPPOSITION TO YOUR POINT OF VIEW when a little careful wording would've rendered that unnecessary. I proved you point? You sure proved mine. GOODBYE.
no, we are only a drop in the bucket of MQ

PLEASE, lets drop this....

I got the help I needed for today.  Let's just drop it.


FTP/digital drop box
Hi,  I am looking for a method of receiving my dictations that is secure and large enough to hold the dictations without problems like I sometimes have through email.  Someone mentioned FTP/digital drop box.  Has anyone used this?  Can you explain the pros and cons of this.  Thanks in advance. 
RE: Drop Chute

Thank you so much.  I would much rather use an FTP site.  I had just never heard of Drop Chute before. 


I would only drop him if he does a month's

income drop
My production is about even with SR/VR as straight transcription, sometimes even less (the reports come in that full of garbage). Hence, with a rate per line decrease, my hourly pay dropped to 1/3.

Not for long. I just won't lay down and take that sort of abuse. And I do consider this situation abusive.

I have yet to find anyone that I can verify that that they are producing double, let alone triple their usual transcription lines per hour.
afraid insurance is going to drop me...
Two years ago I became an independent and have individual insurance.  During the application I put on there I had quit smoking (former smoker).  I now have a procedure coming up, and during the consultation for this procedure, my doctor asked me if I smoked.  Well, I do "occasionally" but I did not expect him to ask that question, so I fumbled and said "yes, but not every day."  Now is this grounds for my insurance not covering me?  Is it possible they can dig through the paperwork specifically to find this and nail me on it?  Or can it be accepted that at the time I signed on with them, I in fact was not a smoker, but started up between then n now, so they have no grounds?  I'm scared, as I cannot afford this procedure out of pocket!!!  What do you guys think? 
They can drop you, jack up your premium, or ....
Doctors ALWAYS ask if you smoke, especially if you are having surgery.  Smoking makes you heal slower, heal improperly and can affect anesthesia choice.  I don't know that the fact that you smoke "occasionally" will be transmitted to the insurance company, yet you should yourself report it to the insurance company.  Smoking is still smoking and is still a serious health risk. 
Did start to drop some weight but...(sm)

...it took a little while.  It's like my system was totally discombobulated (surgical menopause for me was a real bear!) & it didn't know what to do.  I was finally able to take most of the weight off, but I have to be very careful now, as it's so easy to put on (especially in my belly area) & harder to shed.  Everybody's different, tho', & I know women who have come off HRT & dropped whatever weight they gained & totally leveled out. 


Here's a link to a site I found very helpful & supportive - it's a hysterectomy support site, but they have all kinds of helpful info about hormones, fitness, etc.  You may be able to find some useful stuff there:

Glad I could be of some help...if you need support or info or whatever, please don't hesitate to e-mail me, k?



DirecWay Drop-offs
Thanks for the tip. It looks like Direcway has a new upgrade from the 6000 model...more money of course. I will need to do something, as 3 days at half-production is just too miserable.
Peach drop in Atlanta, GA
I'm looking forward to it.
random calls/drop ins
People just do not understand. I have just had to be rude without apology. I have had so many people call and even though I don't answer still drop by. I have to say that if I am too busy to answer phone then I am also too busy to go to the door. I have had them stand on the door step ringing the bell and calling my phone. More than once I have answered the phone to someone saying they were at my door. I say, "Oh, is that you ringing my bell? Sorry but I am working". They do not like it but neither do appreciate the disrespect. My friends have just learned to laugh it off. I stick to my guns, even with my family No work, no pay, is what I say.
