Hate to admit this

In Reply to: It's 6cpl gross line and raise after 3 days.. better than nothing. ;) nm - NEMT
I applied for it. But you have to have Docshuttle, which is I think around $100, and from what I hear it wouldn't be worth it even if were only $10. I'm desperate enough that I'd have taken it and hoped for a good raise after the 6 cents. Oh, well...guess I better get back to filling out my Hy-Vee application.

ok, admit it though . . .
You used to have nice normal-sized fingers and now they're worn down to little stubs, aren't they? I made $58 1 year, but it was a great account and I rarely took a day off. Just didn't find it worth it, but 20 yrs. ago would have been able to pull it off with no problem. Congrats to you, though!
I must admit.....
That's cute!!
Here we go again! You have to admit,
nm
Oh c'mon! Admit it.........sm
it's the nasty, "go for the jugular" posts that keep these boards entertaining. If we all posted polite little messages, I'd be bored to death.
Oh my goodness! I have to admit that I
honestly am flabbergasted at all the praises TT gets. Its actually so wonderful, yet I admit that I have had my doubts in the past as well, as it is just so completely unheard of in our industry anymore to have a company that is great to work for. I admit, I'm jealous. Though hopefully I can turn my jealousy into a positive and actually push myself to apply for a position with TT. I have thought this over the last few weeks, and then talk myself out of it because I figure its too late - all the positions must be filled. See what spending a lifetime working for a cold huge national can do to one's self-esteem? I need to make changes in 2007, and applying at TT is on the very top of the list! I think I would burst into a river of tears if I even got a card, let alone a gift - anything. I have devoted nearly 20 years to one company, and expect nothing, absolutely nothing. Its sad, isn't it?
The MQ'ers just don't like to admit that (sm)
they are working for a company who abuses them, and they stay there and put up with it, kind of like an abused wife. I for one believe you, cause my company is also hiring a lot of MQ'ers. There really ARE companies who values good MT's. It's really sad they can't believe this, but I guess it makes them feel better for putting up with the abuse. Who knows. Congrats on your new job. BTW, I have never worked for MQ - came close, but didn't. Thank the Lord.
You are 1 of those who will never admit being wrong,
even if it is proved to them that they are wrong. Not only refusing to admit that they were wrong, even starting foul language against the 1 who is right.
And they behave the same when it comes to their private life, to interhuman relationships, friends, family etc, not being able to admit their mistakes and aplogize, not being able to say, 'I am sorry,' our of their stubbornness.
YOU should NOT be an MT.
I'll admit . This is the only thing I don't - sm
like about MDI. The staff is wonderful, I love the flexibility and my accounts are great, but I don't like paying for LD and having to use a C-phone. Supposedly, all of their accounts are to go wave eventually, but who knows when?
I'm sure they will admit it and state that 100% of their Indian MTs
zzzzz
I'm 1st to admit I am no expert but I have worked
you have obviously formed an opinion of me without REALLY knowing me. C'e LA vie.
Make everyone admit offshore is a fact. sm
Maybe, if we MTs and MTSOs put it so out there that this is happening, even if the facilities/doctors would prefer to turn their backs and ignore it, they will have to admit it goes on and either contiue using offshore, or pay higher for US MTs. This seems to be the elephant in the room and we need to annouce to everyone there is a pacyderm in the doctor's office.
so, you admit to starting a thread to antagonize?
nm
Transcend does. If you look, they advertise on the Jobs board but they admit that
they send work overseas.
Yeah, have to admit..my "dream fairy" is pretty much snuffed out. I bet there are not many dre
left out there. We are now skeptical and bitter. Time to retire and travel LOL
I have to admit my line count has improved since reading the board
I see how everyone else is doing, and then I can set goals for me, though I am too shy to be on the goal board yet. I have to thank the board for that. It teaches me what is possible, and also that we can only do our best. I have to agree totally about how it has been a godsend.
I hate to say it, but MQ does. nm
come on now, don't hate
/
I hate to tell you this, but (sm)
I have over 35 years experience as an MT, and I have never done a resume in my life. I'm afraid if I had to do one, it might not meet your rigid standards of professionalism. I am an excellent MT, and you would be the one losing out. BTW, this is absolutely true. I have never needed a resume. I have only had about 5 jobs in my entire career as an MT, and I know so many people in this profession that one has never been needed - so Heaven forbid, I would ever want to go to work for your company - and you would be the loser.
Well, there's nothing I hate more... sm
...than being at the bottom of someone's DO-DO list.
Thanks for the laugh in an otherwise testy thread, even if it was just a typo! ;-)
I hate to even ask but...
what exactly does it mean to be incorporated? I feel silly not knowing, but I'll never know if I don't ask, right?
Oh I hate that!
I used work for a company who made all of their MTs have Yahoo messenger open practically 24/7. If they didn't see you online, they would call you to find out why!!! They would constantly message me on my days off, or even when I set to appear offline! I would wake up in the morning and go to my computer to find tons of instant messages from like 4 in the morning! I am SO glad that the company I am with now doesn't do that! To me, if a company tells me that I have to give them my IM address, it would be a huge turnoff. It's kind of like a leash.
hate my job
I hate the last part-time job I took learning ESLs and working 1 to 8 p.m., but I must admit I have had work this summer when there were other people even with this company who didn't. Just depends on what your pocketbook can weather.
Ugh, I hate it but I do what I have too...sm
I work EVERY Friday night and Saturday night. I absolutely HATE my schedule but my kids have to eat, right? Plus I worry sometimes that all they will remember of their childhood is me working at night, missing out on things and then napping or sleeping the rest of the time. The economy around here is AWFUL. I have been looking/interviewing for a job outside the home since two years ago. NOTHING.
I hate
That is, unfortunately, about the rate for VR. I worked at Lartech for about a year and it was 3 cpl. I started out doing VR and when I switched companies I started doing straight transcription. I went from struggling with VR editing to what would have equaled 700 transcribed lines per day (editing of 1400 basically) up to 1500+ lines a day not even working as much as I had at Lartech. VR totally brings your time down and they dont pay squat! I read somewhere that the companies got paid the SAME amount from the hospitals whether or not it was VR or straight transcription. I have a feeling companies are lining their pockets left and right because of VR.
I hate to say it, but this is well said.
nm
I really hate to say this, but
go to MedQuist. You have to be able to pass the test but at least there you can gain experience fast. Also, after there for a year, you can leave.
I hate working there but anyone can do a year of it.
I don't know if they let you use books for the test or if it is timed or not. Maybe someone else knows, but a lot of the bigger places let you use books. Look up everything.
What I really hate to see is
people who do not want to work on VR for whatever reason come here and throw out, for example, less experienced, slower, etc. and that is what happens. If you don’t like, fine, work until your job switches you over and then find another job and then, well you can finish this thought out. To assume, like is about 98% of the time done with VR, is just wrong and that is what I am talking about. The first person said they had experience of 30 years and then went on to say less experienced, well she has less experience than I do and so?
Do I hate it?
Well, HATE is a strong word. I probably don't hate it as much as I hate war, murder, oppression and hominy, but I pretty much dislike it the way it is now. The thing is, I have hung on, keeping hope that it would get better, that I would find the perfect niche for me in this industry, and it just isn't happening.
It does to me too but I hate to think
That it's a company I contract with :-(
I'd hate to think that! NM
NM
Hate this
I hate this, too. I had planned to spend the rest of my career here and made many sacrifices (working extra, working when my family wanted to be with them, etc. etc., so much so that it caused difficulties in my family because I was ALWAYS TYPING) and I am sure you all did, too. The MDI we thought we knew is dead. As to how anyone could do such a 180, if I had to guess, I would say it has to do with cold, hard cash. When I was a little kid, my father used to say EVERYONE HAS HIS PRICE. I always thought that was a cynical point of view but now I have to ask, is that true? Again, I have said before, she had an absolute right to do whatever she wants to with HER company but I also think there is a moral and ethical duty to take care of the workers who have made you such a success. It is kind of like we are the MT world equivalent of a one-night stand. Wham, bam, thankya maam. This business of sitting in front of my computer with no work for three months and no explanations and no answers will haunt me forever. It will be a long time before I trust too many people again......How sad. How very, very sad.
Don't you just hate that? sm
I haven't applied with them, so not much help there. But, I've been filling out apps, testing, sending resumes all day. This is SO stressful. You just don't even know what sort of company they are, will you get the schedule you need, will the dictators be decent, is their sound quality decent. Soooooo stressful. Sorry I rambled and wasn't much help for you. Hang in there! :)
I hate being left out...sm
another post mentions Douglasville. Georgia, perhaps, cause that's where I'm at...please tell me, I wanna know...I hate being left out...
hate MEDSCRIBE
aNYONE else here despise Medscribe and their corny contests and their rude way of putting their MTs down verbally in emails and on the phone. It's like an old fashioned factory. UGH. Let me outta here.
They are biatches.
I hate Spheris too
Indian givers. That's a nice way of putting it. They are liars, cheaters and users. I need to start looking. I should have started looking years ago. What took me so long to see through them?
Thank you! I hate to see people get taken
like this with the liability issue. It is a nonissue with us.
YUCK!! I hate it!.....
Very few of the docs talk slow/clear enough for the VR software to catch everything. A lot of the reports pretty much have to be retyped.
I hate it when companies do that.

Hate to break it to ya, but
*Isn't this just good business sense on their part in an environment where it is hard enough to feel connected and part of a team?*
Good business and reality are galaxies apart. During my final time at the last company I left, it was commented to me that for as long as I had been there and as good an MT as I was, they were surprised I had not asked for a raise. I had been with them 9 months. I was covering 12 different accounts and doing mostly ESL dictation. They thought when I turned in my resignation it was about money. It wasn't. It was about a having a level playing field and I didn't like their level of *honesty.* My work route was being manipulated and they couldn't admit what they were doing. Gravy was being given to lesser experienced MTs and I was getting nothing but crap and it was being touted that everyone was paid the same cpl. (okay, this example shows they were lying to me on that level! If they were willing to give me more money to keep me, then they were surely doing that to other people, right?) I wanted an honest work environment and the money. That is what I have now. I've already gotten one raise at the new MTSO with the promise of a second when I hit a new lpd average (two months).
So, it would not hurt to broach the subject if they don't with you. The worse they can do is say no to a raise and explain their review policy. At least you will know where you stand, how you feel, and what your options are.
Hate to say it but most patients have no..
clue about who types their medical records or where they go. I'd say the average Joe who doesn't work in the medical field or know an MT personally doesn't even think about their medical records unless they change docs or go to a specialist, and then it's just to ask the receptionist or whoever to fax their records to another office.
There may be a few people out there(very, very few) who have read an article or watched a news program about off shoring of medical records. However, I bet the average person is more worried about their co-pay, wait time to see the doc, etc. when they go to their doctor's office. Not because they are ignorant or don't care, just simply because it's not something most people would even think about.
Sure there might be some people that would be upset that their records were going out of the United States if they were told, but lets face it, it's not exactly information doctor's offices are volunteering to their patients, and most people would think to ask about such a thing.
I personally think it should be a law that they have to disclose that information to each patient, just like receiving the HIPAA paperwork, but I don't see that happening anytime soon unfortunately.
I agree. Hate to do that, but if it were to come to
I would contact the client and let them know. 
What could be worse? I hate OSI
My husband wants me to flat out quit OSI, just walk out now and worry about finding something else later. I am very sorry for the MT's who don't have other means of income.
I hate change, too.... (sm)
w/regards to your ?'s
*I don't know
*I was hired as an employee a couple years ago
*The rad rate I know is 8 cpl, don't know about range
*I don't know about the work volume but there's more radiology than I can do...
And yeah, I hear you on change. It royally stinks. Good luck to you in your search.
Powerscribe, I hate it
xx
Hate to bore everybody but
This is getting old now. For the past several months, waiting and waiting for work and I do make adjustments apart from getting off day shift. Christmas is around the corner and I am getting worried. 
Worked on both, hate VR! sm
Love both platforms but only for straight transcription. Went to the poor house doing VR.
for every some that hate a place, some will not. sm
do you work there?
I hate to disappoint you but I am an MT. ?
It seems rather closed minded to think everyone has your experience.
Several of my friends work for MQ, too. All but one is very happy. The one who isn't has not been happy with any place she has ever worked.
I would hate that - everyone paid the same.
I want to negotiate the best deal I can for MY skills and MY experience. Lumping me in with the inexperienced or poor performers and I lose out.
I hate to say it, but I agree with this. nm

I hate it, but KS uses it on several accounts. nm
