I did a little research on this board recently and sm
then I bid on and won a 10-book lot of Stedman's.  According to what I read on here and the condition of the books, definitely the Orthopaedic and Rehab book.
Check company board for archives.

Search the archives and check the Company board

I agree, you need to a lot of research. I would start with the job seeker's board and see who S

is advertising and research the companies that seem to have the best to offer and find out if they truly are the ones with the best to offer.  In this business, there are a lot more considerations when looking for a job than just cents per line.


Good Luck!


That's a good question for the Company board or search the archives.

in the archives for SS
and we will see how jazzed you are. Line stealing, lying, demanding, worst company out there. Been there, done that!!!!!
archives
where do I go to get to archives?
Archives
I thought if you did the search above using the MTStars option, that was the archives??? LOL

Sorry I'm no help.....
archives
If the newbies are making $7 and not admitting it..shame on them.  We all had to start from somewhere.  Moreover, you people with your smart-butt replies to honest questions make me sick.  What's wrong with a polite reply, say, something like, We just discussed that recently.  Why not access the archives....etc....but NO, ya gotta have a wise-crack answer.  Shows your mental age real well.
Don's use the Archives, just use the
"search" box just above the postings, not the one at the time that you have to check web or mtstars.
I checked the archives and there isn't much on TRS.
TIA
CHECK THE ARCHIVES
BAD, BAD, BAD.
do an archives search

They totally suck!  Very unprofessional group of people.  Surpised they are still hanging in.


read the archives.....they do
it was posted in the last couple of weeks
If OP had checked the archives on any of these
companies she would have found all the info needed.  I've posted in minute detail many times about SS when asked, so the information is there. 
search archives.

Search the archives for yourself.

Did you check archives? It seems like I saw something about
them within the past 2 weeks and it wasn't good, but I can't swear to it. 
OTI. The best. Check archives. nm

try searching the archives

This has been discussed several times in the last few months.  You should be able to find some answers there.


I myself have posted in archives about this man..

here's one fave from my archives...sm
i had a young neurosurgeon dictating an extremely complicated brain surgery while on his cell phone in his sports car...all of a sudden i hear the engine screaming (sounded like a ferrari!) and him saying, "sh**...I gotta make this light, hold on..." which was followed by nothing but ENGINE noise for a few seconds, then a brief pause, and he calmly continued dictating his complex report...talk about multitasking...i'll never forget that one. :)
Thanks will search the archives
:-)
did you run the company name through the archives
here?? Problems like this usually have a history, and a long one at that.


Try the archives for this. Not too long ago
there was a discussion, not sure what board it was on though.
CHECK the archives on this.

thanks - did check archives, but

did not really get enough good info to make a decision, so am looking for any other MTer's who have had experience with these. 


Please help....everyone always says "look in archives" BUT...
when I look in the Archives for let's say Amphion....it only brings things up from 2007? Explain this to me.
Check the archives
HUGE discussion that lasted for days just a couple of months ago on this very subject. I think there are even links to a website regarding unionization of MTs, if I'm not mistaken.

Get some coffee and be ready to read for awhile; pros, cons, neutrals, etc., it's all in those threads!
How do I search the archives? sm
For instance, I try to find info on TTS in New Hampshire and I put it in the search box at the top of the page and click "mtstars" for searching rather than search the web. I get only stuff from 2006 when I know there is more recent info. It happens to me with everything. What am I doing wrong?
I don't need to research what I said SM
and you are right that many people cannot afford the insurance, but guess what--I couldn't afford insurance on what I make as an MT even if my company offered it.  WM is not perfect.  I worked for them for many years, and my husband is still mgmt for them.  We both have seen things that we did not agree with, but I don't necessarily agree with everything I see in MT either or any other company for that matter.  I can go in Target and find things that aren't right.  I can go in any of the grocery stores and see things that aren't right.  WM gets a lot of bad press because of its size, some of it deserved, some not, but you can't believe everything you hear from your WM newsgroup. 
Did YOU do any research on this???
x
IMO, it is not for asking others to do research
MTs who dont do their own research, just want QA to do that for them. 
I did my research
I understand some people would try to get the answers and have "someone else do the work" as someone put it... but I have read through my books and been on so many website it was quite rediculous. I actually used this site as a last resort and have been doing research for 2 days before I made a post on another site last night and then here today.
research
It's one of my favorite parts of this job. I never worked in-house (except for 1 week in the office of my first MTSO, which was a very small company).  Did not go to MT school either so do not how they teach there (is there an emphasis on researching terms?). . Started with a better-than-average knowledge of medical terminology/anatomy and physiology  and strong interest in medicine. Bought books and did lots of looking up and learned on the job (with QA at first). Without an interest in medicine this would be a very boring job. I now primarily use the Internet for research because I know how to distinguish the good references from the bad, but there are still times I would rather consult a book. I would like to have an opththalmology book; that is one I have never had. -  15 year MT

Try searching the archives. Some of us get tired of

answering the same old questions for people who can't be bothered to research what we said about that exact topic only last week.  Besides, only the people making big bucks answer the polls.  You don't see any of the newbies who are only earning $7 an hour admitting to it.


Nevermind...looked in archives...sorry.

Search the archives - lot of information nm

Check the archives and then RUN FOR YOUR LIFE

I have been reading in the archives about expanders

I have gotten the names of Smart Type, Instant Text and Shorthand for Windows...  I would like opinions on these if you have one, and I would also like to know if I can use one program for both my desktop and laptop, or if I have to buy the program twice and enter all my expansions twice?


TIA and TTFN


I found this in the archives. I need to try it myself to see if it will work. sm

OP--Just did a search in the archives. Vista

I checked the archives and found some
So thanks anyway.

I don't know about pick up and delivery. I suppose you could get a courier for that. Not sure about working with tapes. I don't know how much I can make at it but need more than the $11/hr. I make now.

Thanks.:)

I did look at your piece of research
and I am not seeing it. I don't think that all MTs will be out of work. There will be demand for editors, etc. I will stay in the field until I am told they don't need me anymore.
Research results
I checked on finasteride, and unfortunately it does not have great results for male acne. And it occasionally causes gynecomastia. BUT, here is a link to a cystic acne heater device:

You should research other websites because sm
Most of the information in the article doesn't coincide with any of the Biblical principles followed by the Christian churches in America today. Throughout the entire Bible, old and NT, we are taught to refrain from witchcraft, mediums, those who speak to the dead, or any kind of honoring of the dead. Christians are only to pay homage to God through Jesus Christ.
Actually I did some research about a year ago
and found out that in my state a surgical technician makes less than I do. Now THAT is messed up, in my opinion! Go figure.

I don't know, I can see that when first starting out a person doesn't have the knowledge and experience that they will gain by working on the job. At the very beginning a new MT is going to be less productive due to needing to build Expander list, look up terms that they do not understand, etc. So it makes sense to me that they get paid a bit lower at the beginning.

Now where I work they recently raised the minimum starting wage, so there are people coming in with about half my experience making almost as much if not as much as I do- that is kinda discouraging. I have complained and am waiting for their "response."
Poster IS doing research - here!
How better to research this subject than to personally ask a whole bunch of medical transcriptionists who actually do/have done this? Let's applaud the efforts of the poster rather than bash them!!
