That is a disease just like cancer
Would you say the same if that were the case? People like you are despicable.
I am not the OP but I have an AI disease as well and they have worked with me. sm
I did not tell them that I have severe fibromyalgia when I started. I had been doing well and thought I could work FT. Well, three weeks into employment, with everything going well, I had a bad flare up. I handed in my resignation stating what was wrong and that I could not handle working FT at that time.
My lead and then the owner contacted me, telling me that they can either accept my resignation, put me on FMLA or let me do what I can while I am having a flare-up, both within 5 minutes of my sending the email, neither knowing the other person contacted me.
That was 2 years ago. I have had 3 since then and, knock on wood, have been feeling great. I would have probably left KS and been depressed thinking I could not hold a job because of something I could not help. Instead, I found caring people who worked with me and let me do what I needed. I work FT, know that I have to split my shift and help out extra when needed if I can. They work with me without hovering. Mentally, this has been a blessing for me!
The Dreaded QA
The QA is a very helpful tool for improvement, but it often seems to be the luck of the draw. One bad report and your are down the tubes for the month. I have had my share of 100%s and the agony of being 1/10 of a point below the line of acceptance. What I find unnerving and degrading is to be threatened with dismissal if that 1/10th of a point does not come back up within a week. Nobody is perfect, and the industry expects the MT to walk on water so to speak, find our own errors, doctor errors, determine how the client wants the report billed. Many client preferences downgrade proper grammar. I have seen in-house client reports and samples that are contrary to what they expect from contract MTs. So do as they say and not as they do. Sigh....The profession is extremely stressful. It's nice to have other MTs who care to share and vent, on occasion; however, right now though, I am toying with the idea just getting out while my nerves are still intact.
Dreaded QA
Exasperated: I think the omission of articles, prepositions, punctuation, and even subjects is a way for the clients to save money. We are at the bottom of the pyramid, and we are darned if we do, and darned if we don't. It's a no-win, very stressful situation. That grunt could mean anything. Then there are the a's dictated between every few words. My goodness if we really transcribed verbatim?...
The dreaded packet
The imail actually said to call them at the number given if you didn't RECEIVE the packet by 10/7.
Dreaded QA Autopsies
QA people who nitpick on commas, semi-colons, etc. are generally creating a dust storm by hacking up your work so you do not take note of the fact they could not fill in the blank you left either. LOL.
Don't let that get to you. Better you should focus on correct spelling, things that affect patient care (or incorrect medication dosages) rather than sweating the bullets from those red-marker COMMA QUEENS. They have more serious issues than any of us want to know about . . . Really. :)
Shouldn't be dreaded
It is a good learning tool for those people who utilize it. If you are down the tubes for one report in a month, and minor errors, then its time to look for another job. Your QA department is not utilizing this as a learning experience, but as a means of attack.
The ever-dreaded Meditech, which is not as bad as everyone led me to believe on here. nm

that would make it the disease of B. Crohn, therefore, the apostrophe stays. (sm)
That's how I was taught. If you can replace the apostrophe with the word OF then the apostrophe is correct. Regular grammar states the apostrophe would stay. BOS says otherwise. Personally, I like proper grammar.
They got the dreaded "blue screen of death.

Crohn diease - The disease that was name after Burrill Crohn. sm
His name was not Crohn's. It was Crohn.
It is also Graves disease, named after Robert J. Graves.

sure sounds swell. Sounds like 2350 ln/day @ 4 cents/ln=$90./day
in order to figure how many line needs to be produced to make $500 per pay period. ie, how many lines an hour needed per 8 hour day --at your rate.
So say $450 a week would be $90 a day.
For example, if making 4 cents a line,need 2,250 lines a day, 281 an HOUR (to listen through and edit) to make this great wage of $90. a day FOR ALL THIS SAME SKILL, TO KEEP UPDATED WITH CHANGING MEDICAL COMMUNITY. nope Better at Jack-in-Box Pass it up.
Sounds like it and it sounds like you must tell them when they will be and no change them. Wonder
what you do when there is no work. Well, there will be a lot of problems with this whole plan if they dont get things straightened out with this no work situation.
Sounds like I'm the same age as you!

Sounds like she was trying to -sm
make you quit - probably because they overhired and have too many people. She probably thought she could bully you out the door and have one less person to have to deal with. I wonder if she treats others like that too.
I bet so. Sure sounds like them!!
nm
Sounds like
MedQuist
SM - Sounds like you...
must know this owner pretty well to be bashing him this way. How is it you have come to such an opinion? Did you work in an office with him? I would be very anxious to hear more of your scholarly declarations such as the answer to ending world hunger and obtaining world peace? Please, tell us more oh "wise" one....
exactly what I was trying to say! It sounds like they sm
are on the right track! Good luck to them.
That sounds exactly like OSi.
nm
sounds like mq
There is always someone telling everyone what excellent accounts they have, perfect sound, TONS of work....hmmmm....well, I guess it's nice that SOMEBODY is going to be able to pay the rent cause it sure ain't me.
Sounds about right, maybe even a little low. nm
nm
Sounds low to me (sm)
 I made $3.00 page several years ago. With wages lowering each and every day for the MTs, maybe someone else would like to share their thoughts. Good luck!
It sounds like they are not
very technical-savvy if they need MTs to come in for training! I'd be looking elsewhere.
They can only say no, but it sounds like they can't...
...afford to lose you. YOU are in the catbird seat. Ask for the raise. Really. Do it, and best of luck.
Sounds like BTS in MA. sm
They will take 6 weeks to send you a paycheck for 2 weeks pay, trim 30% off your line counts to supposedly cover headers/footers, and stiff you for your last check if you leave. Leave while you are ahead if it is them.
wow. Sounds like you been there, done that. Thanks for
This sounds like a

Sounds like she might need some

Sounds like a really nice gift. Mine must have gotten lost in the mail LOL
Sounds like
it might be what they call a vacation -- I wouldn't know really though, haven't had one in so long.
Sounds like...
the company I work for now meets those criteria. Email me if you'd like.
This sounds exactly like the what the
well trained office staff is supposed to say to negativity about the company. I worked for TC for awhile and learned the ins and outs. If you don't mind being overworked, underpaid, all the cherrypicking going on and don't question anything then this is a great company to work for. Not to mention if you are on the CEOs good side and work in the office you get paid trips to Disneyland for your whole family, and can give the MTs as much grief as you want and nothing is said. But if you do mind all this stuff, then as the first poster said run as fast as you can.
Sounds like....
.....Focus
OMG! Sounds just like MQ! lol

Sounds just like what my sm
husband has through work only the deductible is 1000.00 for in network, 2000.00 out of network. No payout until deductible is met,except for office visits. Unfortunately, only one of my doctors is in his network. None of my specialists are. And, the PPO network is very restricted. But we do have prescriptions. It used to be John Deere Healthcare. Now it is United Healthcare.
It sounds rather -

Thank you...that sounds better!
I could definitely live with that! I'm glad I asked more questions. Is Carlotta nice to talk to? That's who I would be speaking with and she seems nice. Do you get samples or are able to see old reports for the ESLs or any difficult dictator? That helps a lot, too. Thank you!
sounds like maybe........
 the police should get involved in this case. Too bad I do not know her, or I would definitely think about getting her and that other lady SOME jail time! Would serve them right, and then throw away the key!
Sounds like one to me

Sounds like
the same company I tried before this one, trained 1 days, worked 2 days, both with no work and quit.
It sounds like
somebody already figured the lines to be subtracted at 133 . . . is that gross lines from the original counting method? If so, then you would need to figure it based on 65-char so as not to cheat yourself. It could be quite a difference, especially when considering the weekly or monthly amount.
Also, if it were me I would tell them that my 65-character count line rate is higher than my gross lines rate (by at least 2 cpl), and that that is standard practice, which it is.
This sounds more like something
The button mashing and burping sound sort of childish. JMO.
Sounds like...
Sounds like the same one I worked for. Trust me, don't walk, but RUN away from these people. She does everyone the same way.
ER sounds like the best bet then..
If you can type that much more on ER, then why bother with acute care? I myself like acute care better, but if I could make substantially more money with ER, I would just go with that.
Sounds like D&L
Beware, that is how that whole scenario started with them....
This sounds about right
.
That sounds like a lot more than
That sounds more like you are a control freak and this person also must socialize with you. Hmmmm, makes me wonder..... Get a life!!!! The OP is struggling with a line count she's been doing for three months, so what gives???? Do we need to know about your loyal employee and social entertainer? Not really! 
P/S: By the way, don't need you to hire me. I have my own accounts.
It sounds like they have been
treating their ICs like employees and got in trouble for it. I've never been an IC, but I suspect they want to continue to impose rules on their people that are not allowed, so if you are already having to follow rules about when you work and who else you work for, I wouldn't think it would make a difference to you, would it?
It also sounds like the HMO's - so why not get -
