Hey Blondee,

 

What language did you're folks speak before they came here to the great melting pot?....Did they come through Ellis Island, Angel Island, on the Mayflower or in the bottom of a ship in shackles...We're all immigrants....unless, of course, you're a Native American or Inuit.

 

I speak a few languages and had gotten called outta my office at any given time to translate in the ER or OR. If it helped to save someone's life and/or calm a family's nerves, that was cool with me.

 

It would be nice if everyone just spoke the king's English.

Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN

 

Are we "SLOW LEARNERS" or what?

 

Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN

 

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

 

Theodore Roosevelt 1907

They moved the post, but not the replies!

Okay, that's frustrating.  Anyhoo, the regs for setting up corporations vary from state to state and it also varies as to what kind of corporation you can set up.


I set up an LLC for something and I used legalzoom.com.  It cost a couple hundred bucks, but it was well worth it for me.  I got all the completed paperwork back in about 6 weeks or so and I didn't have to worry whether I had dotted and crossed everything that needed dotted and crossed.


If you're in or near your state capital you can go to the Secretary of State's office and they can probably help you as well.


Sorry I did proof my post but I swear things moved around
Sorry for the typos. 
Moved from Sticky Post. Christmas IS celebrated on this site

Moved from Sticky post...


Christmas IS celebrated on this website. If you do not celebrate Christmas, that is your prerogative.  However, if posts celebrating Christmas offends you, you might consider another site as we celebrate Christmas on this website and will do so every single year.  As the owner of this website, I am proud to say MERRY CHRISTMAS in celebration of Christ's birth.  I will not fall in line with others who are being politically correct and I do not expect others who celebrate Christmas to be forced to conform either.  Since over 95% of Americans celebrate Christmas, I do not see what the big deal is anyway.  For those who do not celebrate Christmas, I offer respect for whatever you do celebrate though I may not agree with your belief system.  In turn, I also would hope that you would respect what I celebrate.


Merry Christmas,


Sheri Steadman

Thankfully we are no longer classified as just clerical.

"Medical transcriptionists have finally achieved a separate job classification. The revised Standard Occupational Classification (SOC), published by the Office of Management and Budget, includes a separate line item 31-9094 for medical transcriptionists in the general arena of health care. This is something AAMT has been promoting since its inception over 20 years ago. In the previous (1980) SOC document, medical transcriptionists were grouped with court reporters and stenographers under "Clerical and Other Administrative Support Occupations." This separate classification is truly noteworthy. Having an ID number, medical transcriptionists can now be studied like any other occupation. Statistics can be gathered on numbers of MTs, salaries, etc."  (from the AAMT website)


This is one of the good things AAMT has done for us and hopefully their continued work will elevate our profession further.  We are now an apprenticeable occupation also (and only DOMESTIC workers can be apprentices --heh heh!). 


evidently you have no clarity about all....nm

How dumb are you? Evidently you fell from somewhere.

Evidently you can't read. We have contacted

employee problems to be public fodder.  They don't respond to questions.  They


don't return phone calls.  When they do give answers they are nonsensical, non-answers.


Go back and read.  See how many of us here are saying we have been in touch


with the mighty Frank et al.  And it is not your place to tell anybody to "file it or shut it". 


Get out of "our" business if you are not affected.


I swear I could hug you right now. Evidently my expander
left past the letter D and I was trying to replace because I have been using it for forever!!  Thank you so, so much!!!!!!!

appears to have multiple problems.....once a man hits you, it's never the only time #1.  I have never been hit or cheated on.  However, my self-esteem is my #1 priority in my life for the past 15+ years, and I intend keeping it that way. 
Evidently Admin. has the pudding.

Evidently the site is brand new
Yeah, not a ton of information yet - I searched on this forum and found interesting info when what I guess are founding members were gathering information and getting started. It appears they just got the website up in Jan 09 and I also read a post that they said it was 2 years (the group/website) in the making. I think it's worth keeping an eye on, since many have voiced dissatisfaction with AAMT/AHDI and some have voiced hope for a new MT group to form. Now we just have to see who they are and what their next step is. In the meantime, there are still others of us who want to put our heads together. :-)
She didn't. She was mocking you. Evidently you missed that. nm

Heads up warning! A company called DictaCall posted a classified ad

Heads up warning! A company called DictaCall posted a classified ad
here yesterday claiming great cost savings. After researching the company, I have found that the company is overseas in India and is offering the identical rate structure as another US voice service.  There is absolutely no cost savings whatsoever and anyone using their voice system would be calling into a toll free number where the voice file would end up on a server in Calcutta, West Bengal, India. 


What does this mean to you, the transcription service?
1. HIPAA compliance is compromised.
2. Your client information is at risk. Offshore entities can come in try to undercut you and take your business.
3. In case of outage, you're stuck if you can't get in touch with technical support.


I could go on, but I think you can probably see the same big problems that I see.


Wow. Evidently this company ignores the JCHO's recommendations
At my job you would GET FIRED for not adhering to the dangerous abbrevation rules and changing q.d. to daily.  I guess it depends on whether a company adheres to the joint commission on hospital policies or not.  I know when I applied to a company I transcribed mL instead of cc and was told I made a major error in my test.  I was following the AAMT guidelines and it cost me a job.  It is a problem that is no standardization in the rules.  I wish they would get together and decide on one way of doing things.

I just moved from PA
to the Bay Area and I have to agree, it is more expensive to live in the northeast and it does not seem like there are any type of programs to help people out. Here in CA PG&E is offering everyone regardless of economic status a rebate if they are able to conserve 10% this winter. Whereas I just read a while ago that in the PA they recently passed some kind of law or the like where the electric/gas company can turn people's electric/gas off in the middle of winter. That is just cruel.
that is what I moved from
Last neighborhood I came from was brand new and in 3 years turned into the hood. I know exactly what you are talking about. That is why I am so irritated to feel like I am back there with just 1 neighbor who happens to be my closest one. They are screaming as we speak. Agh!
It gets moved around, but it is definitely out there.

We've gotten 81 entries from people who have FOUND IT so far!  Keep lookin!


GOOD LUCK!


They are still using that but have moved to
Word - I just remember typing in WP 5.1 and it was a dream come true - don't remember the demos being slow - but I'm not all that speedy so may have been
I moved very close to but not on ...
Makemoney Avenue.

Considering the taxes I pay, I think I should have bought the one on that street.
Also moved to Amherst
All these different accounts every day - it's so hard to keep everything straight. I am so slow and less productive now - and who is there to call - do you know we got swallowed by Amherst and I have no contact information for anyone. It's so darn depressing!
Fired from one and moved to another
What is the point
I'm from Portland, but we moved to SM

Nebraska last July.  (We actually lived in Gresham.) I really miss Oregon so much!  I worked at Kaiser and loved it there.


I thought the program at Mt. Hood Community College was really great.  It really prepared a new MT.


:) Are you from the Portland area?  If you went to the AAMT convention last May I was there!  My first convention.  It was fun.


Have a great day, Patti! :)

No......I never had this happen until I moved to VA - sm
Before that lived in PA and MD, no one ever took my bags out to my car (or even asked), so no, this is not the norm.
Who has moved from company to
company the most times? I had steady work and employed many years before I started working at home for nationals.
Has anyone ever moved to another country and kept their job? sm

I want to know this because my fiancee is in the military and will be going to the UK for a few months and I want to go with him but keep my job.  Is this even possible?


Thanks


I thought they had moved
I had been hearing that this board was now being run by an offshore company, but I wasn't sure. Oh well, I'll wait for MTstars.net to get up and running.
This relates to all MTs so I have moved it here. (nm)

I think you're having a hard time getting on with the nationals because they want 3-5 years recent experience. I would suggest you keep at it with the clinic notes and try to find a company that does hire "newbies", even though we both know you aren't. After a year or 2 back in the biz, you should be able to get in with the nationals. I doubt much that a certificate would help the situation you're in.
Reposted for RJ when moved....
I personally do not use autotext and prefer Instant Text, but that is a matter of opinion. I have used Autotext. Try and get all titles in; i.e, history of present illness, etc. Also try to get all the drugs in that you can and if they have standard dosages, put those in also; i.e., asp8 would spell out aspirin 81 mg p.o., daily - that sort of thing. Also you do not have to look up if they are generic or trademark. I do Lasix 20 mg as las20, las 40, etc. Any drug abbreviations are a big help. I think you can make macros with Autotext. If I have a doc I do all the time, I copy and block the whole report such as H&P, consult, etc., and take out all the information that is not perinent and leave in things that the doc would say all the time - aaox3 = allert and oriented X3, etc. If she/she dictates the same patterned report (because they are generally required to dictate under a certain format per the hopital), I have the advantage of having all the titles in there along with his/her PE. I make a template. Also, I like 8 o'clock coffee brand - it is more concentrated.
I have used it and moved up to Dragon -sm
Honestly the one on word worked just about as well as Dragon. But, that said, I no longer use either one. My shoulders and my neck quit hurting but the time took to go back and correct mistakes was to time consuming to make it worth it. You really have to be willing to invest a lot of money into a microphone and even then, you might get 70% accuracy tops. Unless you really wanted to shell out some big bucks and get Dragon Medical, I think you will find it a big hassle. My production did not go up at all, but I was in less pain :) Go spend $20 and buy a head set and give it a shot, but be prepared to be disappointed.
Has the computer been moved lately? You may want to
look inside the computer to make sure all the components are still securely attached to the motherboard. If you are not accustomed to doing this yourself, take it to a tech. It also could be dirty with dust. Many computers need a good cleaning a couple times a year. Buy air cleaner for computer and open up the case and spray away the dust. It would be a number of things but this is a start.
Originally from Albany, but just moved
to California and missing NY very much!
Just moved my leg, my Schipperke is under there too- ahhhh--sm
now the Husky's head is on my right foot (foot pedal foot), boy the reason I moved my left foot was so he could move his head in the first place and I stepped on the other dog. Well at least the lab is not under there too.
Wonder why it was moved to the company board
???
Just moved out of a rental. This just burns me up..

We just bought a house and moved out of a renal townhome that is owned by a huge property management company.  I always always go the extra mile to make sure I leave a place clean, way more than a lot of people.  I spent hours cleaning and we didn't leave a single speck of anything in that house.  The carpets were immaculate because we had plastic runns in the high traffic areas, etc.  I scrubbed baseboards, window sills, floors, painted over all the scratches and nail holes (same paint), everything.  Got our refund yesterday on the deposit and they charged us for ELEVEN HOURS of cleaning.  In the description they said that this that and the other thing was VERY dirty, counter tops being one thing.  I swear I scoured the counters with cleanser not long before I finished the job.  I find it very offensive to have all these things listed as VERY dirty.  They're full of you know what.  Do you think it's just a racket to ding you for more money?  They also charged us 160 dollars to shampoo those perfectly clean carpets. It seems like cleaning that is not beyond the usual amount should be THEIR responsibility as part of the business of renting out their units.  They just want to pass on everything including routine maintenence onto their tenants.  Just had to vent. 


Lived there for 20 years, moved
back up north 5 years ago, so glad I did.  Would't even visit family down there after I moved.  Now all family has moved back up with us.  Wouldn't ever, ever go in July or August, the heat and humidity are so bad. 95 degree heat and 90% humidity.  Its like trying to breath in a suana or steam bath.   Storms every afternoon.  The bugs are terrible also. 
That's exactly what I did - moved on - let them find their own people

Just moved to Vegas a month ago.
Having a hard time here. I end up working all the time because I have nothing to do and I do not know anyone.
I've had a job like that... I moved on. Be proactive.

Have a satellite dish, no cable.  The phone company out here does not provide ULD.  One job I would like you need ULD, and the other you need internet access, no satellites accepted.  Does anyone have any ideas?  Is there a way you can get even dialup without having to use long distance?
