    She's 52! Yeah she does look great!

    Yeah, great site.
    x
    Yeah, it was great. I really enjoyed sm

    seeing it.  She was so guarded and on edge.  But she rarely does interviews or things where she doesn't have absolute control, so probably that factored in.  She was definitely waiting for him to make fun of her, but I think he knows better now.


    I loved when she expressed that now she does exactly what she wants to do.  It is hard to fault her for the things she does with her time, and a huge portion of her money.  Good woman.


    YEAH - GREAT POST....sm

    GREAT POST.......


    To the first poster - You need to ask him?  Tell him!!!  All households should be equal....everybody's things being equally important.......


     


    Yeah, he was GREAT last night.....nm
                    
    LOL...yeah, I think it is. Great movie!
    /
    Yeah, Duel. Great movie. sm
    One of Steven Spielberg's early ones before he became famous.
    Yeah, working nights would be great if
    the rest of the world was on that shift!!

    I just switched back to days after 5 or more years of graveyard. I loved it except for what you mentioned.

    My only suggestion to the OP would be try to stay up the entire night before you start working, sleep that day, and then work your shift. That way, you will start getting you internal clock used to those hours.

    It's not easy, so be patient. It will take about a week, maybe a little longer to get used to it. You'll probably feel a little fatigued and sluggish, but just try to hang in there. And don't be scared. I remember when I first started working graveyard, I had this feeling like I should NOT be awake right now. I felt physically okay, but emotinoally I felt like I was not doing something right... don't really know how to explain it...

    Anyhow, good luck!!
    Oh Yeah, me too! I love the Queen! I hadn't thought of her, but she'd be great. nm

    Yeah, yeah, that should be "your work..."

    Saw him on CMT show with John Fogarty. Great, great singer with a neat personality and drop dead
    gorgeous without seeming to know it. 
    Yeah, baby, yeah.
    We are here for the long haul.
    Great post. I swear by both Advantage and Frontline Plus-- both work great! - sm
    I don't know about "natural" approaches for the house. I have always used flea bombs in the past before the miracle of Advantage and Frontline changed my life. Have not had a flea problem at all since I began using those products about 10 years ago, dose all the dogs religiously once a month with the Frontline Plus except in Dec.-Feb. to save a few bucks and because the ground is generally frozen by then and no fleas are scurring about. -- Hope you get flea free soon.
    Thanks to all. Got some great feedback and ecouragement. This board is great.
    My rant passed, ate a late lunch, now back to the trenches.
    GREAT GREAT SHOW! I still think Ellen Pompeo
    should have gotten the Emmy/Golden Globe whatever it was for the show. I like Sandra Ho, her character just needs more depth... Next week looks AWESOME!! Maybe there is still a chance for McDreamy!! First season DVD coming out with deleted scenes! Can't wait to get it & watch it!!
    It is a GREAT company and great deal! I've had
    Vonage about 6 months now and I love it. The only mistake I made was trying to keep my original phone # - I wouldn't recommend that. You have a temp # for a while, and the other provider can fight for the old #, etc. Go to vonage. com. They have new features all the time! There is even a new soft phone that is a phone on your screen. You don't need a real phone when working - just headset. It has 800 #s you can have very inexpensively - great voice mail. You get emails when you have new messages, etc. I only wish I had used them a year ago! Nothing but good things to say, and I complain about everything!
    Sounds like he will do great then. Again, best wishes for great success!

    That's great Patti. Thanks. Have a great time at the beach.

    You should feel great as a transcriptionist if they think your work is that great!!!
    It is not your fault they approached you. I think it would be a different storey if you were the one searching for the job to take away from a company. They obviously want to get rid of the company and if you didn't take the job they would probably ask someone else. You should enjoy the better position and not feel guilty!!
    Great post -great job of wording your answer! (sm)
    Original poster - I completely agree with this answer, especially the part about finding yourself and using all that you have learned intellectually and connecting that to something that you will also enjoy with your heart!! You have so many wonderful options for your future - much more than many of us.
    IT - great program, great support system. nm

    Thanks for all the great advice! You guys are great!

    Oh, yeah!

    I understand where you're coming from.  The respect is just not there anymore.  Everyone in this business has heard for years about how voice recognition and EMRs are going to replace us all, which I just don't buy.  I work for a national on a difficult account with many ESLs, and it generates lots of work.  Every summer we have problems keeping up with turnaround but the management has yet to come up with a solution that actually works consistently.  I suspect it's a combination of MTs having kids home from school during the day now, vacations being taken, and people not working their schedules,  but most of all I think it's just plain burnout - we deserve to enjoy the summer too.  Last summer I worked so much to the point that I think I did substantial damage, and my body just cannot take it anymore (been at it for about 20 years, the last 10 years of it steady).  The powers that be fail to understand that we are not machines! 


    Oh yeah
    Or when you are trying to sleep and in your mind you are dictating to yourself..i.e., and the patient..yada, yada, yada, happens to me all the time, especially if I have had a long stressful-difficult dictation day, LOL..Of even if Im day dreaming, sometimes I find myself falling into dictation mode, repeating dictating I have transcribed, or close to it..Yeow!!
    Yeah.
    intromission changed to interim admission.  LOL
    yeah right.
    dream on.
    Yeah - sm
    Diskriter. If you have 3+ years experience and want full time work, brand new benefits and line incentive - send your resume to them.
    yeah, right, sure he is.
    u
    Yeah, right
    Saying it doesn't make it so. You are probably QA'd by people in India. What a crock.
    Yeah, sure.

    Uh-huh



    That makes complete sense (not).


    Oh, yeah.
    I cheated on the soup, too, by buying a box of premade at the health food store.  They've got such neat stuff there.
    yeah, me too, and it's not

    Yeah, well--
    That's why this country is going down the toilet.  Between the corporate greed and being overrun by the illegals, how long do you think it will last?  The CEOs now don't care-- they are too busy counting their money and buying those expensive cars, yachts, and their third and fourth homes, etc.  They have what I call the "Marie Antoinette" syndrome-- "Let them eat cake".  They have theirs-- so the h*** with the rest of us! 
    yeah...
    You are full of it. You aren't an MTSO. No place has a "crew" that is "all friendly and kind." They work at home, so how would you know what they are like? Even the rudest person can be nice for 2 minutes while talking on the phone to the boss.

    Oh yeah!!
    LOL - good going MQLover - like your style!
    Yeah, you ask how old I am, but
    the person who responded to me is the one who said it first. Of course, come down on the person who likes workings for MQ. How predictable. Go take a shower and maybe the water will make you grow a real thought.
    yeah right, 60K w/MQ...

    Yeah, please don't.
    This is fun to listen to.
    Yeah, I am.
    I didn't say anything perverted. You are stuck on this molestor kick.
    Yeah you.
    I am not constipated and I know you aren't. I guess your laxatives worked to help you lose weight. Now, go cut your bangs in the morning.
    Yeah, I'm 47...
    and I STILL haven't developed those skills (that's why I'm an MT)!
    Yeah...here ya go....
    Link to her website....

    Yeah ....
    Come to Texas, we'll go dancing, bring boots, I have the truck :-))
    Yeah....

    It's called MT stars, as in medical transcription, so post regarding medical transcription - as in the profession......understand that?


     


    You want Regis and whatsername?  Post on that board.


     


    You want Romper Room?  They have their board, too......   Get the message honey bun?


    oh,yeah...
    one doc for whom i worked used to dictate (breaking this up because i have no idea how to spell it): "die-ag-no-sis-siz."

    eep. and they write med-orders in latin?? lol.
    Yeah
    Get everything in writing!!
    Yeah, right.

    Account instruction#1 says bold and CAPITALIZE allergies, list medications in number form regardless of what dictator says. Do NOT abbreviate in HPI, but you can abbreviate in Assessment if the doc does.  Don't use degree sign unless doctor dictates it.  List assessment in number form, even if there's only one item.


    Account instruction #2 says bold headings but never bold or capitalize allergies.  Only expand abbreviations in Assessment but nowhere else in document.  Be sure to use degree sign when typing temperatures.  If there is more than one item in the assessment, use number form in listing them.


    Account instruction #3 says never bold or capitalize allergies, don't abbreviate anything.  Never number medications, even if dictated by physician.  Can use the degree symbol if Drs. A, B, and C dictate such.  If Dr. D dictates patient's name in body of report and uses words that don't exist in the English language, be sure to type what he says since it's a verbatim account, and he complains all the  time that he doesn't want his report to sound so *formal* by using *the patient* instead of the name.   For all other reports, use *the patient.*  If Dr. E dictates the patient's sister, Sara, do NOT use the name Sara and just type *the patient's sister," regardless of what he really says. Dr. F might not dictated a numbered assessment list, but that's what he means.  Dr. G prefers to see the text of H&Ps on the same line as the heading, but on his consults, he thinks it looks better if there's a hard return, with the text starting on the next line.


    As an Editor for multiple accounts, are you sure that YOU'RE paying attention to all the little idiosyncrasies contained in the sometimes 20-30 PAGES of account instructions for any given account? If so, I doubt you would find it so easy.


    Yeah right.
    If you make more doing MT than using your bachelor's you've made a wrong turn on the pathway of life, hon.

    Sorry, but I don't buy it.
    Oh YEah ..i KNOW what you mean!!!sm
    especially about the cleaning part.... Oh boy..I sure do love my hubby and don't ever want to lose him..but, man Do i EVER get tired of cleaning up after SOMEBODY ELSE!!!
