Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

Wait till they steal our information, sell it and

In Reply to: No end in sight for outsourcing - MTness

our identities are stolen. This is not right because if any of us had a choice, we would not want our records of any kind going overseas to be managed or transcribed, etc. I think this violates our privacy big time and should be actively brought to the attention of all the stupid government officials. Wait till they have someone steal their identity or money or whatever. Think they will rethink this. Shame something has to happen to the rich folks before anyone will do anything about tightening things and even if they did enact laws, would these overseas companies abide by them. NOT.

I just think when the whole population ends up on the street, they won't be able to hide it then. I feel sorry for the generations to come. How would they save anything for retirement. I can't even do that.

Unbelievable. Just wait till she gets to
be an old timer.

I plan on doing this till I am in a wheelchair on a Roho Cushion, Foley Catheter, IV fluids and therapy massaging me.

SS won't do it.

So wait till I send in my resume claiming 50 years experience.
Thanks! I can't wait till they get it hooked up.

If you disliked Wal-Mart before, wait till you hear this..
I can't find a link yet, but this morning on cable news they did a story about a "glitch" on their website.  You know how if you click on a DVD title, many websites will say "you might also like" and then they show a list of titles that might be of the same genre or interest as the title you requested.  It's a marketing tactic to get  people to perhaps buy something in addition to what they're looking for.  Well, apparently if you click on The Planet Of The Apes series (original movies) you get a list of movies featuring black actors only *they probably corrected it by now).    Wal-Mart claims it was a computer glitch, but I'm not buying it for a second.  Probably a lone prankster did the links but who knows.  Either way it's baaaaaaaaad.
all your information needed to steal your identity - sm
name, address, telephone and past employers etc. Now in Pakistan

Cool stuff. Keep up the good work. Destroy Steal Steal - that is all that Plane is capable of: http:
Nice job. I'm planning to come back here in the future. right Slot will Hope Grass without any questions , when Game Love Chips Win Chips can Loose Round , Industrious Boy is always Beautiful Round Chair will Mistery unconditionally
I can use the deduction now, and when old and ready to sell, hope sell price is high enough won't
matter.  Also, I think there is a time frame of not working that negates the job deduction factor. 
steal the dog
he is being mistreated - anybody who keeps a dog tied up all the time w/no attention is a jerk who shouldn't even have a pet.

steal the dog and take him to the local breed rescue org. He's going to make someone who loves him a wonderful pet.

You don't have the RIGHT to STEAL someone's dog!
Call the dogcatcher or animal control.

You have NO right to STEAL anyone's pet.

I've read your outrageous posts on this board before. You're really some piece of work.
Did she steal them or just buy them and have no place

She did not steal it. The doc stole her.

You don't really know what you'd do till it happens. I know how you feel SM

now, but you just wait until you have the traumatic amputation. It's not a death. It's losing a part of you. It feels so horrible as to be indescribable. I was wishing I could get married again after a month, just so I'd have something else to think about.


Of course I got over that pretty quickly, but it sure made me understand why people do that.


Never say never.


Exactly what my DH used to say till he hung out with me for a while. - nm

I worked 6:00 p.m. till 2:00 a.m. doing
were young; that way I was home with them during the day and once DH got home, I would go to work.  My advice is not to do it.  You miss out on too much.  Be there in the evenings with your family and if your MT job dries up, you'll find something else when the time comes.  For now enjoy being able to be home with them.  Insurance isn't everything.
I only make 9 cpl. If i could steal her accounts for
and she'd have to go out and pound the pavement looking for more work. What she'd find would be a whole different world than the one inside her little plastic bubble.
It's _always_ done that to me. Till today, LOL. nm

Also-my attitute has been positive till now-
Hope this doesn't happen to you
No, actually every time you steal music, you are stealing from SM
many people, but you already know that.
Beg, borrow, or steal not to have that payment be late!!!
It does not matter how little you have left on it.  Late is late in my opinion.
(good job on "methinks"). I never had an opinion about this till SM

my friend hit the charts. I know people do it. I never have because I'm just not that much into music.


High horse or no high horse - you can't just say you're "owed music" because you've bought CDs in the past. You can't say it's not stealing, because it is.


Now if you don't mind stealing, that's another thing, and most people don't appear to think this is stealing for one reason or another.


But even if you think record labels are greedy hogs and you resent the amount of money they make when you buy a CD, it still doesn't make rationalizing your theft right. No matter what you say.


I do a LOT of things wrong. I am so NOT on my high horse it isn't even funny. But I have strong feelings folks working and starving for ten years just to get picked up by a record label, only to have their work stolen. You can call it what you like and you can say I'm not a cool person all day long (I'm really not!) but you can't say you aren't stealing what doesn't belong to you.


Regardless of being employee or IC, is wrong to steal account from your MTSO
and it's also irrelevant whether it's a crappy MTSO or not.
what is the harm in telling the rate? i don't u from adam and i won't steal your job.

Also irritating illegal alien ESLs that steal US

i dont blame you at all. If you buy a product you should be able to use it till at least the foot p
I wonder if you can copy it from one computer and burn it on a disk so you can have a backup. I will try that and see.
Everyday thing for me. I work till sleepy, then set my SM

phone not my clock to ring. I get about 5 hours every night, have for years.

Since you are new, just wait. Newbies have to wait. sm
Just because you said a "doctor's office" that narrows it down.  No national work for private doctor's offices.  It is all acute care.  Just wait.  They will let you know how you are doing.
well, excuuuuse me. I didn't realize it had been deleted till after my first post

Should've held out for the candy bar and refuse to leave till you get it!

They steal your money and then send you a check and you are thrilled. Give me a break.

So you can fix it up enough to sell it-- then do so
and split the money with the sister. So what if she didn't help. You should be able to get at least 5K if you clean it up. So work two weekends, clean it out, sell it and take your half of the 5K, which is $2500 which is more than enough to cover the $1000 you need. And think of it as a blessing for his sister.  Plus $2500 is a nice chunk of change for house de-junking, don't you think?
Actually, if you did turn around and sell

the computer and stole the SS numbers, don't you think you would be arrested and maybe go to jail or even be fined. 


Sure, ya could, but would ya!


We have stood behind what we sell.

How many times should we exchange the pedal before she tries to troubleshoot it through the software or the computer?  We exchanged it even though we did not feel that was the problem.  When the original pedal came back to us it was confirmed that the problem was not the pedal.  The pedals we use are widely considered by the transcription industry to be the most durable pedal available.  They are Infinity pedals. 


Do you have property you can sell or
borrow against? A house you can take an equity loan on??

Bless your heart. I feel for you.
Don't sell yourself short....
I charged docs/clinics 12-14 cents/line 5 years ago. They had no problem with this. Being paid by the hour in Canada at home where I work for a local hospital I make $18.33/hr plus 14% in lieu of benefits plus 4% vacation pay ($21.73 per hour) For contract work MT's in my area charge $25 per hour or 14 cents a line. This is not through MT companies - just for docs asking for extra help and our Physiotherapy Depts that do independent medical assessments contract it out to local MTs. Hope this helps. I'm in Ontario
Don't sell yourself short.

If you think that you need to "lower" your rate because you're not driving and picking up, then charge .10/line; otherwise, I would stick with the .11/line and consider it a "raise" if you get the job. Honestly, if the OM is happy with the quality she'll get at .06/line, then you probably didn't want that account anyway because I have found those OMs are the biggest pains and you're better off without the aggravation. JMO.


Anybody sell on Ebay? If so...
I've bought dozens of things on Ebay, only one item there.. today.. then it tells me I have a second chance offer. Not sure what this means, even after reading what it said about it. Any help appreciated !
Yes, yes, yes. Go IC and sell yourself. Get out of the house sm
and actually DRIVE to places where transcription takes place.  Leave a business card, a brochure, etc.  Usually, you'll have opportunity RIGHT THEN AND THERE to meet one of the doctors.  Two practices I stopped at made me WAIT in the waiting room while they got the MD to meet me because they were DESPERATE to find someone who KNEW what they were doing.   I have turned down work in  the past year because I was not able to keep up. One of these days, I might think of operating a small company. For now, I'm quite content.
Sell the furniture if you have to
You can always replace it later. I once sold a bedroom suite to come up with a mtg payment when I hit a low period in my life.

My fear is that your home does not sell for 30G. In Calif., real estate market is saturated with homes not moving and this is not the best time in the world to "flip" a house.
Sell my own stuff.
I had to take my site down for a while because I've been too busy but I make soaps, candles, rice socks, bird houses...lots of stuff.
I'd just get a new computer and sell the old one.
You can get a new computer for $299 when Dell or HP has their closeout model sales or refurbs. Otherwise, you can buy RAM cheap and install it yourself. It's pretty basic. What kind of system do you have? You need to make sure you have an open slot for additional memory.
Should I sell my Lanier?
I have an older Lanier transcribing machine.  I do not plan on ever working for a company that uses it.  I'm not officially selling it yet, just want feedback from my fellow MT's what I should do.  I work after hours using regular mini-cassette tapes for local companies and another company uses Gear Player.  If there's an MT that can use this one, I'd gladly help out!  Thanks in advance...
Don't sell yourself short
Hiring seems to have slowed down quite a bit over the past couple of months (from what I've seen). I have four years in and have been looking for a second company and I can't even find one right now. I know four years is nothing compared to most, but still. I could take my pick in companies this past spring/summer...this always happens though. There will always be a slow down depending on the time of year.

Give it some time, you will find a company THAT PAYS.

Good Luck!!
why would you sell, take the money, then not provide (sm)
 sounds like a scam to me
