PAD does not cause swelling, venous insufficiency does
Arteries carry blood away from the heart, and veins carry blood to the heart.
It is venous insufficiency that causes swelling and blood clots. Support stockings will help to correct the swelling for a minor condition, but it is dangerous to sit for long periods of time, as one could develop a blood clot. A doctor should check you for this problem.
Arterial disease causes claudication, plaque formation, and gangrene.
Indians
you understand each other because you care to, there is the difference. Have a nice day!
LOL-they are probably all Indians.

Indians
The company I work for sends all of the easiest work from each account to the foreign freaks --- leaving the hardest work for the American transcriptionists, who are expected to still maintain greater than 98% accuracy, and the American transcriptionists who were sending too much to QA were fired!!!!
not just Indians
One company now is going to train Vietnamese, another Chinese (just what we need, a communist country with our information). I frankly would trust the Indians more than any of them, including the Filippinos. The Indians have been our allies for years and years. The Filippinos are dreadful to work with. The company I work for only uses them and they are absolutely horrible with errors that could kill somebody. As a QA we try to teach them how to do it right and all we get back are incredibly rude emails from them. They even say they don't have time to spellcheck, nor will they, and their QA only opens the files and sends them on. At the risk of losing the accounts, my company tells us now not to anger them, we need them. They used to get points deducted for mistakes, now they don't, but the domestics sure do. It's like we are THEIR employees. They are the worst MTs and the nastiest people I've ever dealt with. I would any day rather work with Indians. They were polite, respectful, always answered emails, always made attempts to do better. The others are cocky and could care less what we think or what we need. Needless to say, I'm trying desperately to find another job. I don't work for offshores, nor will I. This company now is just pushing through the files without QA because they don't want to hire even though we keep telling them the files are horrible and they could come back on the company legally, but it's all in the money. Less QA = more money. I would NEVER go to a hospital or clinic my company does the transcription for, NEVER.
Indians by far!!!

We have been taken over by the Indians!
PROOF POSITIVE. I am outta here.
Worse. Far, FAR worse. (no mssg)

East Indians
Tell me about their arrogance! The apartment house I live in is loaded with them. They are dirty, they are loud and arrogant. It's terrible.
Can still do that and not help the Indians earn our money.

Yes, I've seen many pictures of all those Indians and their

That's why AHDI just LOVES them Indians!

Enjoy your 15 cpl until the Indians underbid you at 3-4 cpl...

THE POST IS NOT ABOUT INDIANS BUT ABOUT AMERICAN COMPANIES
that want to send their work overseas and train them to transcribe it. I want to know why the moderators feel it is okay to post jobs from spheris and healthscribe and others that were mentioned in the article when they undoubtedly hire us in the US until they can train more transcriptionists overseas and then leave us high and dry.
Yuck !!! Will take Pakistanis and Indians over Asians any day.... nm

Weren't the Indians given a reduced rate to get CMT?
p
To me they are harder than Indians, Spanish or anything else. Strange.
nm
I get it. They are paying the indians 1 or 2 cents a line,
which isn't much to us but it is to them, and then they just pay QA people a few cents more a line to edit the crap that comes back (probably no worse than correcting some ASR) and there ya go. $$$$$
Focus is run by a bunch of Indians who don't know what they're doing.
Not many. A lot of Indians use Canada as a crutch to gain US business and
for processing. You'd probably do better at MTGab since it is a Canadian MT site.
They recently got rid of all their Canadian MTs, guess to make room for more Indians. nm

I've interviewed Indian MT's. Most have two master's. Most Indians have two master's
it is part of their government's specific plan of action for positioning India to be at the forefront of the global economy.
got one even worse...
18 minutes of dictation = 42 lines! After he spelled out half of the report for me and then said uh, uh, uh between every word, I wanted to scream.
It could be worse, but
MTs are hard to come by, especially good ones. Take a look at the jobs offerings, you don't have to sit back and take it. I would suggest you go turn on the news for a while and picture yourself in someone else's shoes. You have no reason to complain because you have options.
Believe me..it gets worse..(sm)
I live in Kansas...and top-out pay for the hospital here in this rinky dink town is $8.46 an hour....yes ladies and gents...clean up the coffee you just spit all over your screen...I said $8.46 an hour. I have to work for a national to get more competetive pay because it's sure not going to come from this area! 
Yes, she is usually MUCH worse
nm
Yes and yes...what's worse
I don't know if they still are, as I haven't watched in the last few weeks, but on Guiding Light, Tammy, who is Cassie's daughter, is in love with and dating Johnathan, Reva's son. Well, Cassie and Reva are sisters...so that makes Tammy and Johnathan cousins.....talk about GROSS!!!!!
OR WORSE
USE YOUR IMAGINATION, AND I HEARD IT. Doctor was not alone.
What's even worse...
It having reporters who consistently can't get one thing right. I'm the administrative/performance head of an Irish dance school in a fairly large community, and every article the local paper has done on the school has been, well...fiction! You give them fact, and they turn it into something that doesn't even vaguely resemble the truth.
Having taken journalism in college, I remember the adage "truth in reporting." And let's think about "fact checking."
Seems it doesn't exist any longer.
Though it is at the expense of the school, I no longer want our achievements butchered into fiction by the local rag.
Worse.
:(
For better or worse....
I'm not afraid to leave blanks. I will try my hardest to figure out what they are saying, but if I can't even figure out a "sounds like", I don't see the point in driving myself crazy.
Definitely WORSE!
Can't stand Barbara and her scrunched up face that doesn't move. The football player's wife is extremely boring and never has anything interesting to say. Joy is okay although she can be obnoxious at times and just can't make the show by herself. Definitely don't want to watch Rosie. The mere sound of her voice gets on my nerves, not to mention I don't like anything about her.
What is even worse
is when you are being paid 3 or 4 cpl to edit a voice recognition report like the one you described. After editing VR reports for the last few years, I have come to the conclusion that, unless the MT is on a creampuff account, VR is not a big money maker for the transcriptionist. The transcription companies are the ones who benefit from VR. They charge the client for regular lines, but only pay the MT half the amount to edit the report, even if the MT ends up having to retype half of the report.
Lol.. oh man. which one is worse
I guess I'll take Sanjaya... or I like to call him Escalito. He reminds me of Jack's Black's sidekick in Nacho Libre.
Worse day ever
I feel awful today. While transcribing using my C-phone and word..we had a power surge where the electricity shut off for only like a minute. I was at the end of my report and thought it was saved...when the power came back on the job was off of my phone and I just went ahead and transcribed everything but my last job...had written down all my demographic info for my records and just glanced in my to send folder to see that the job was missing!!!
Once a job is off of my C-phone, even dialing back into the system and selected by job number will not allow you access to the report. I was so upset that then on top of all of this I accidentally popped my last job out of my que without transcribing it
I feel so terrible!! I'm still in training too, probably gonna get canned for this!! I really needed the job and have spent so many off hours logging QA reports, saving templates, making shortcuts, etc!!! I wish this account had a way to retrieve a previously transcribed report, especially for the Transcriptionist it was assigned to....has this ever happened to any of you? I haven't been on an account before that you can't retrieve a voicefile...I feel really awful..overall I love the account and was really doing well...
Thanks for letting me vent.
I know of one that is worse,
A gum-chewing, lip-smacking, flatulent, yawning ESL neuroradiologist who sits by a nursing station with loud call bells and giggling women nearby who talks on a cell phone to a girlfriend simultaneously with dictationg. Yes, I will go to heaven. I keep hoping he will move on to another hospital, but so far no luck.
Just ask, The worse they can say is no. Then
x
yep, it can always be worse
Doesn't matter what subject you're talking about, it can always be worse and usually is for someone else. It's always nice to hear what someone else is paying for gas so I know that my $4.00 a gallon isn't so darn bad.
it could be worse
always.
I used to think I made good money but that was before I had a mortgage and the price of gas wasn't through the roof... I don't know what other people make, which is why I posted below what an appropriate salary to ask for is... but nobody seems to talk about how much they are actually making...
It could be worse
I would love to know where you work. I'm not making anywhere near that.
Yes, there are a lot of places worse off, but
there are a lot of places that are a lot better too. For the money and the resources that this country has, we do not nearly take care of business the way we should. Do you know that there are countries that do not have as much money as we do or resources, yet every citizen is entitled to healthcare by way of government paid insurance. Do you know how many people we have in the US that are uninsured? Do you know how many countries offer paid maternity leave for mothers? I could go on, but I won't. The US is a lot better than a lot of places, but we should be ashamed at how we handle things a lot of the times. America is full of a lot of greedy people, and we wonder why other countries hate us. Do you know that the cost of the president's inauguration party would have been way more than enough to armor every single vehicle that our military had? Do you know how many lives or injuries could have been saved if only the vehicles were armored better? Where are our priorities there?
I can always be worse, I'm trying to be positive
You could be one of those in New Orleans, then would the pay cut mean anything to you? You would be happy to be alive. Why is it that only what affects us personally matters? This is what is wrong with society. My husband took a 25% pay cut a year ago, now the company he works for is bankrupt, slated to shut down in 9 days. He has worked there for 35 years. Be thankful you have a job, or get a new one.
Very true, it's getting worse (sm)
We have lost against a monopoly and it doesn't look like there is anything that will save our jobs now. There will be jobs for a while, but probably at such low pay they will not be worth doing. JMO 
you know what would make it worse?
if you started typing 40mg and another Editor corrects you to do 40 mg. AW MAN!
gonna get worse

example of censorship at its worse

was far worse than this XL Superbowl....nm

But we're not - and it's getting worse.
NM
Things could ALWAYS be worse, but that
.
I think the worse are USUALLY after July - SM
Of course that doesn't mean there won't be any but they are usually more and rougher ones after it's been hotter for longer, etc. One more thing you could think about is what we did - book one on the GA beach or South Carolinas - it always seems like they don't have as many or as strong. We've booked at Jekyll the end of June b/c it is very family oriented there and more private plus less severe storms in general. Good luck. I've been worried about the same things
