 Thank you...that's what I thought, but it wasn't clear to me!! nm

 I wasn't clear about that - what I mean was that - sm
 more likely than not, they'll get ripped off on their minute-counts, dinged for nonexistent 'mistakes', or have some of their pay 'skimmed', as has been complained about in so very many posts throughout this website, and by too many companies to count.  I suppose the truly honest employers in MT can probably be counted on half the fingers of one hand.
 
 You're right about 'weighted' dictators, and it's actually a good thing.  I think if a doctor is a difficult dictator to transcribe, he should be weighted, and in addition to paying the MT more to type him, the hospital should be charged more to transcribe him.  If it cost them more to have the garbage-work transcribed, maybe somewhere down the road all those ESL doctors right off the boat from somewhere else won't look like such a good deal, after all.
 Thinking I wasn't clear...sm
 I totally agree with you...see my first post.  I too have been in the business for a long, long time and think its ridiculous to worry about that stuff.  I was questioning why we see this so much.  Who is it that is pushing this stuff....and are those MT's really being forced to adhere to all that c___!??
 I'l asked before, but guess I wasn't clear ... sm
 
 Does anyone know -- is there some type of attachment or whatever you can get for your cell phone that allows you to plug in your C-phone and make calls that way? 
   
 Thanks so much! I wasn't clear. I guess patients' names is what irks me the most. SM
 
 and you know how famous they are for dictating "Krenazcyssky, Jane, that's J-A-N-E.  Actually I thought it was pretty clear
 & I've also wondered why.  He was referring to IC or employment postings where they "discriminate" against those of us from the golden state.  It will be interesting to find out the real reason...
 I thought her reason was pretty clear
 To warn people not to spend money going to college for a minimum wage job with no hope of advancement.  might as well flip burgers, at least at a fast food joint you might make manager some day.
 
 Good for you that you are still making $50,000.  You are the exception.  My story is the same as OP's, I was doing MT as a second job for 10 years and decided in 2000 to quit my office job and work at home full time.  It has definitely gone downhill and I too tell anyone who asks that it would be a mistake to go into this profession.
 
 Why do you care if there are no new transcriptionists?  Like you say, more work for you!
 It wasn't thought out
 I didn't make a decision to do it until they told me it would be $241 for my records and then they left out all the nurse's notes, the op report and my pathology report.  I had to get those copied - which I did not pay for those.  According to my bank, doing a stop payment on a check is not against the law, and had the hospital ever asked, I would have been glad to explain that their charges were both for the medical records, as well as their services, were highway robbery.
 Okay, thanks.  Thought of that but wasn't sure.
 
 nm I wasn't offended.  I thought it was funny.  :-)
 
 I always thought that the reason CR wasn't replaced -sm
 by tapes/videotape, recordings, etc. long ago, was that there was some major legal reason for having an actual live person there that could SEE and HEAR each participant in the case do the court reporting, and the same for depositions.  Something about the veracity of the resulting printed document generated by a live CR, as opposed to one generated by a machine (that could be tampered with.)
 At the beginning, thought the whole thing had been a dream - thank goodness it wasn't.
 nm
 I missed it.  Poop.  Oh well.
 /
 it's not a *poop squat* -he merely gets into it
 He puts his body and soul into his performances and just gets physical.....he is the most personable, really......the most down-to-earth.  I like all 3 who are left......but again Elliot's voice, I agree, is not STRONG enough for projection all the time.
 So, when the poop hits the fan..sm
 who is going to get to take the flak for this mistake... besides the patient?
   He just dictated she has lots of poop in the
 GI tract.  Would you type that or change to feces????
 How about stool?  It sounds a bit like poop, LOL.
 Even if dictator complained (which he won't), you could say that's what it sounded like to you!
 
 
 Nor I!  He sure stepped in poop when he met Oprah!...nm
 x
 Me thinks so too. Snowman poop is for babies. :)
 
   He acts like he's on a laxative! Poop squats in every song. nm
 x
 I use poop for postoperative and boobsup for an augmentation mammoplasty. nm
 n
 Not the AD but when that other giveaway was going on - sm
 I found it once on the WAHM board, so I would presume the Secret Santa can be on any board listed to the left.  Remember it looks like any other post....at least in that last giveaway it did; hence it is very hard to find.
 Thank you MTstars for doing the giveaway again!
 
   MT Stars giveaway
 Thank you guys so much for my gift certificate from Lisa R from Wolcott NY.  It is much appreciated.
 It says you must enter each giveaway to be qualified
 I think that means each different one you need to enter separately.  that is the way the posts sounded to me anyway.

 GOBBLE!  GOBBLE! Excuse me, but I don't see any other MT site putting on a giveaway
 for MT Week.  I have gone to a lot of trouble to ask sponsors to graciously donate items for our annual giveaway.  I have gone to a lot of trouble to make this a nice event, including banners, posts with full details on how to enter and by the amount of emails we are receiving people are managing to enter just fine.  Sorry if you don't like my response, but it's just not that difficult to enter.

 Entry-Level MTs
 
 Hello to all! 
 Can anyone give any advice on where I may be able to go and find an entry-level MT position?  I greatly appreciate all the responses I hope to receive.  Thanks all! Entry Level MT's
 MedQuist hires entry levels with good testing scores. Fax them your resume. Its worth a try. Good luck
 data entry
 
 Has anyone done Data Entry jobs from home?  Thanks 
   this happens to me sometimes if my entry came from an enrich...sm
 I would use the search function in the glossary viewer and edit the entry...if you edit it, it should work fine. Or, you can just make a new entry with the same sentence
 
 HTH!
 Entry level MT's
 Hello.................I know all of you are tired of hearing about how hard it is to find a job at entry level.  I have two certificates from two separate programs.  I have been working for a clinic here where I live part time typing clinic notes.  It is only about two hours per day.  I found a lady on this site who said she would hire anybody if she could find somebody willing to work.  I emailed her and she promised to get me started asap.  That was a few months before Christmas and she still hasn't contacted me.  Does anybody know how to get started as entry level.  I truly need the work.  My part time is paying well but two hours a day is not very much.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.................
