worker's comp
Yes you get seen, tell the Doctor/hospital it is a worker's compensation case, they send the bill to the boss, but sometimes the bosses don't like the fact that their premiums may go up because of cases filed against them. This happened to my son, boss made him feel it was his fault for getting hurt on the job, cried about it, then changed his mind and my son told them at the hospital he got hurt on the job but the boss still has not signed the paperwork, so it is now in collection agency and have to straighten out the bill for x-rays and being seen in the ER. My son broke a finger in his left hand, no big deal, but his boss sure made him feel guilty about filing a claim. My son does not work for this company anymore which is a good thing. Of course giving your husband 100.00 is sure way of telling that something is wrong with his boss, maybe too many claims or maybe he is just afraid his premium will go up.
Evil Co-Worker
Anyone else have an evil co-worker or two? I work at home but there's always one that still manages to find me. I would ilke to slap this current one if I could reach her through my computer. She thinks she's my supervisor. I try to be respectful and polite, but that's not working. All my other co-workers are wonderful. I can't find anything in the company handbook about slapping not being appropriate, so that's my next plan of action. I just have to figure out a way to do that through cyberspace.
Evil Co-Worker
I agree! Give her enough rope and evenutally she will hang herself. You are so not alone. I had to deal with one of these types for nearly 2 years. I would be trying to get my work done on my account and her IMs were poping up left and right. I even had my "Busy Working" sign up! She never did her work -- waited until the last minute. Most times I ended up doing her share because of it. Unfortunately, no one in charge seemed to notice or just did not care since I was picking up what she lacked. The money was good because I was getting a ton of extra lines, but it was killing me and destroying my marriage. She would go on and on about her family all the time. Like I cared! Her kids were sick every other day. She always had an excuse why she didn't get her work done. The kicker? Once I had to do her work last minute about an hour or so before it was all due -- I am pounding away on my keyboard she Knows I am doing her work! The IMs pop up telling me how she is helping her sister write a resume! Hello! She should have been doing her own work or at the very least leaving me alone so I could do it for her. I would type my buttock off to have an evening free -- guess what? She would suddenly have some sort of problem as soon as she saw my work was finished and she would then be unable to do her own. Guess what came next? Yep -- I got stuck working while she got away with it. I swear it was like she was stalking me on-line. Don't know how she knew, but seemed like the second I got up to use the bathroom or went to the kitchen for a soda the IMs would bing. Just the memories still drive me crazy. I can relate. It's not a fun club to belong to.
I have never seen a harder worker than
my husband and he can do 2500 tops. He used to QA between 4500 and 5000 daily - so he can really move through reports once he learns the doctor, their style of dictation, etc. I'm on my second VR account and I'm embarrassed to tell you what I can do - I think 600 yesterday? I am dead serious. It is a whole 'nother skill....
A co-worker I once had said that back in the
working at a medical facility, that's how the MTs there normally worked. They sat in the office with the doc and typed the report as he dictated it. Talk about pressure to perform! (But I'll bet when the docs had the MT sitting in their office, their dictation was less sloppy, too!)
worker's comp
Do not quote me on this, but to my understanding if you are an actual employee and they take taxes out, then yes, worker's comp should cover. If you are an independent contractor, then no.
Okay fellow MTs I know this
was probably asked many times before, but where do you all get the little spongy things that go on your headphones? Mine got a hole in and they were the last pair I had. Do they sell them in any stores?
Or you could help your fellow MTs by...
Taking the time to object to this settlement. Opt out and object! I am sending letters to the attorneys to do just that.
A co-worker of my niece took in a family
When she went to work, they cleaned her out, including her kitchen utensils!!!
Another happy bedroom worker...
My only complaint is that my carpet is cold when I step from my bed 2 inches to my computer during my morning commute...
Basement worker here and hate the 12
steps for my commute! Have a good one!
A co-worker made this last year sm
for a Halloween office party. So cute to see a plate of mice with licorice tails and almond ears. She actually put these on a huge cookie sheet with a Rat Cake in the middle. (rat cake was covered in chocote icing-- inside was a red cake, actually quite delicious.) LOL Rats and mice. .... not too scary for that age group though.

worker in S. Florida has a bad 'tude..and...sm
wear these shirts and jackets that say something like "hi, we love to help you" - and they look to run away from all shoppers questions...one has to get a manager for civility at Wal-Marts around S. Florida - this is THE TRUTH (been here 28 years).
ALL I EVER see is disgruntled Wal-Mart workers, never shoppers though. But facts are facts, Wal-Mart has opened up 15 stores in China and China WILL be taking over the world but not in my lifetime.
Best of luck!! 
not eligible for worker's comp
unless you are an employee. ICs are not eligible for worker's comp or unemployment. ICs are expected to carry their own private disability - like AFLAC, etc. - like we can afford that.
Hate to be a downer, just didn't want you to get your hopes up on that one. Sorry to hear about your wrist. Not a good way to start the year. I would check with local assistance office.
Worker's Comp Reports
Hi everyone...I just started typing worker's compensation reports (initials, fu,supps) as well as EMG/NCV reports and PI. What is the charge in the industry? I am hearing anywhere from $7.00/page to 1.35 per audio minute. Most reports are from 7 minutes to 15 minutes so per the inute does not seem right. Anyone out there type medical/legal reports??
Thanks :)

Not the OP, but he seems like such a sweet fellow.

A fellow MT was asking for votes
for a singing competition she is in - like an American Idol type thing in her hometown

Dear fellow MTs...sm
I am stuck and don't know what to do. I keep going back and forth and now I am afraid to make any move at all. Could use some of your opinions on this situation. At the moment, I have two part time jobs. The one I have worked for a little over 3 years as an IC. The other I just started about 4-5 weeks ago. I did seek the company out and I started with them full time employee so I could get some PTO for once in my life. However, I had to switch to part time employee because of the schedule thing. We all know as an IC, we have a lot more flexibility and this is very important to me, and the new company is a set schedule that must be followed. Long story short, I went into the new job hoping to make better money, work smarter, not harder, and drop the IC job. But, 5 weeks later, I just still can't drop the IC position so I am now working more, working harder, and working more than full time and I need to make a decision. The new job pays better but after taxes and all, not really! It is an employee position so I have to work a given schedule. The job itself is basically the same as my IC job, not easier, but maybe slightly more difficult to make lines. The IC job is a job and at one point, I was treated very unfairly by the owner and that bothers me a bit because of fear of that happening again, but for the most part, it has been good to me and is considered one of the best IC jobs out there. I really am stuck and need some opinions/advice from you all that have made the leap from IC to employee or employee to IC. I feel I am at a dead end being an IC, but yet I need the flexibility to some extent. I don't know what to do. Both companies are considered GOOD ones by MTstars company board criteria. Any and all opinions/advice appreciated. TIA
Hello, fellow Iowan!
There are plenty of MTSOs online. What are you looking for?
Need my fellow MTs opinions...sm
I've been working from home as an IC for my 7 years of MTing. MUCH has changed in my life and I find that it may be time to leave the home office and get back into the world of the living. I spoke wiht a hospial in my area and got a bit of info - full time position Monday through Friday, full benefit package, tuition reimbursement, life insurance, healthcare, disabiliy, etc. The top pay is 6k less than what I'm making now, but that is not that important as there are other factors I have to take into consideration. My question to those of you who are in-house MTs, would you share your hourly rate - just a ballpark. This is the first time I've ventured down this path and actually received figures from a potential employer.
So, what do you all think?
Fellow struggler
I, too, struggle with my line count (though slowly growing).
I have a few accounts but ENDLESS dictators with one of them.
If I didn't use an Expander I would be toast. Between spelling, word/drug oddities, and making tons of various sentence expansions (to help conform to soooo many dictators), I feel there is no other way.
It is true it takes time but worth it ultimately.
Any knowledge you can gain as far as medical language would be a big plus too. That is another problem I have ... trying to retain the meanings of things to verify if they fit.
My DD is a social worker and says that she dictates directly into VR
and the report is on her desk when she gets back to the office. She said everyone in her department loves it!
Portal is correct. Co-worker is wrong. nm

In my mind there is a lot more that goes into a good employee/worker (sm)
than production - and you know this as long as you have been in this business!! I would just go on doing what you do best and doing the very best you can and not worry about the figures. Best of luck to you!!
Worker's Comp can be so complicated, and documentation is everything.....
The other complicated issue with this situation is the fact that many physicians are no longer taking on Worker's Comp cases, in new or well established patients, because of the complicated criteria for correct documentation and the long wait on overdue payment from BWC. In my area, several physicians have thrown in the towel with WC cases and no longer handle them. The patients are referred to Occupational Health Services in most cases, or told to go to Fast Track (ER service) for immediate treatment and documentation that is relevant to the injury. It is good if your family physician does accept WC cases. It is also good that he has decided to return the money to his employer and return to the doctor's office and treat the injury as it is, as a work related injury. In a situation like this, Documentation is everything, so the sooner he gets back to the doctor- the Better! Hope all goes well for him.
lol You're no employer, just an unhappy worker trying to cause
Good funny though.
You're a big girl and a skilled worker. SM
If you haven't resolved this problem already, go ahead and do it this morning. You know, as a high-skilled MT you should be making at least 3 times whatever your local minimum wage is. Best wishes.
g'night fellow vampire! I'm right behind ya (sm)
Hey, stick figures would be okay... heaven knows we're ALL thin in THIS city!!
Thanks for the fun ;-)
She is a fellow MT. I thought it was the right thing to do as many might know her. why?

Thank you fellow Northeaster. I'll try it! sm
I'm a Mainer. It's getting chilly tonight. I'm not happy. $2.499 for heating oil here and old man winter is coming. I'll break out the heating pad. :)
Thank goodness we have a wood backup and some wood. I've already told the hubby and kids to break out their socks and sweaters because that thermostat will NOT go above 65 this winter.
to fellow psych major
I would like to start working in the field before I get my BA. Do you know how many credits you would need in order to do that, and is an AA degree far enough to begin work? You're a lot closer than me so I figured you might know this. It would be a big weight off my shoulders knowing I could work within three years rather than 7, which seems so long. Thanks in advance
fellow animal lovers/MTs
boycott Iams pet food - they have been charged of horrible animal cruelty in testing their food, see web site below.

good morning fellow MTs
Does anyone have a used C phone for sale. E-mailed a few people on board who said they had one but have not heard back from either one. Thank's in advance....
Ok to snag this and send to a few fellow MTs? sm
This really rings a bell for me, and I know it would a few friends of mine, also. I would never copy it and send it on without asking permission, though.
Merry Christmas!
Fellow QAs/editors: Using a mouse 8 hrs a day
is really making my right hand hurt. Has anyone found a mouse that's more comfortable? TIA!
Yeah, I'll just look into being a migrant farm worker instead then
Reach for those stars!
Don't think the worker privacy acts cover discussions such as this...
more likely they cover things like credit reports, evaluations, etc. It's rude to discuss in front of others, but not illegal...of course, in the US you can sue for anything.
IL Health Care Worker Background Check Act
Type "225 ILCS 46/" in your search engine. It should give you the Health Care Worker Background Check Act for Illinois. There are several proposed amendments regarding non-fingerprint-based ID before the legislature for the 2007-2008 session. I hope this is what you seek.
Just wanted to say STAY SAFE to my fellow Tx MTs. sm
I am in East Texas and although we don't expect the hard hit, very high potential for flooding, tornadoes, and power outages. Everyone take care of yourself and prepare if you haven't already.
Good 4U! Fellow people-pleaser here LOL.nm

Homeless man receives rewards worth $4,000 for honesty
7/25/2006, 9:55 a.m. ET
The Associated Press
DETROIT (AP) — A homeless man is finding out that it pays to be honest.
Charles Moore, who found and turned in nearly $21,000 worth of U.S. savings bonds, has received rewards worth $4,000, The Detroit News reported Tuesday.
Moore, 59, was originally given $100 from the son of the deceased bond owner, but residents here and in other states decided that wasn't enough.
A Belleville man sent him eight trash bags full of returnable bottles and a bowl of coins. Three people pledged a combined $2,500, while two Troy businessmen donated $1,200, a shopping spree at a men's clothing store and a lead on a job.
"I was thankful for it," said Moore, who lost his job in Toledo, Ohio, as a roofer, moved back to his native Michigan and can't find a job.
David C. Smith, of Albuquerque, N.M., gave Moore $1,000. Smith said he and his fiancee wouldn't have thought twice about what to do if the bonds had belonged to them.
"We would have given him the whole amount, period," Smith said. "No questions asked."
Moore said he plans to use the money to find an apartment.
He was searching for returnable bottles in a trash bin when he made the discovery last week. Moore took the bonds to a 24-hour walk-in homeless shelter, where a staffer made some phone calls and tracked down the owner's family.

Wow...cold reply. No empathy for a fellow MT at all. nm

You are welcome! I'm glad to help my fellow MTs. And to answer your philosophical
questions... it does seem they stack the deck against us. So that's why we have be sneaky, more clever, and technically savvy!
Nice to see a fellow dirt-roader. :-) nm

Excuse me, but who was the health care worker who then disclosed the HIV status?
Ashe's HIV status and career decline. had nothing to do with a healthcare worker disclosing it.

A fellow back brace wearer! I wear one too. sm
And I wear a waist-nipper type undergarment underneath the back brace, for comfort and because it seems to help my back too (not as much as the brace, though).
I put off using the brace for a *long* time because my doctor discouraged it, saying that it's a substitute for strong back muscles, so better not to wear the brace and strenghen the back instead. Yeah, right! I did exercises every day for months, and I would still have back pain if standing for more than 5 min. (Chronic, muscle spasm type stuff, supposedly from mild scoliosis, but who knows...) I would be in misery with a burning kind of low back pain after doing something as simple as going to the grocery store. It was awful.
Now I wear the back brace for anything strenuous, and my back feels sooo much better. I found the brace at Walmart, under $20.00.
(Disclaimer: This was just my experience. Consult your own doctor! )
