would have been, just once, to type exactly what he said, down to every repetition.  Wouldn't if feel good do do that just one time?  I mean, it would be 'verbatim.'

Often I will go ahead and type both versions when someone keeps mis-speaking:  'The patient was brought to the ER by his friend, his girlfriend, his fiance.    He had onset of pain on Tuesday, or maybe Wednesday, Tuesday night or Wednesday morning....'  Hard to tell with some of these dictators what they are trying to change/add/subtract. 

So far there have been no QA repercussions over this.

Good for you!! It is so nice to hear a positive post.

I do not suppose you would care to share your new company?

thanks for the Italian language tip.  I never said I was Italian-American, though my best friend is.  *LOL*

Have a great Sunday! 

I got the same deal with my ex.  He wouldn't leave me alone because he wanted his beloved 3 bedroom ranch house. 

I gave him the house (with my teeny share of equity) and moved into a teeny apartment with my 2 kids. HUGE bedroom bathroom and living room, teeny kitchen, great neighborhood.  We all bunked in the same bedroom as there was room for a double bed, single bed and a crib with enough room left over to dance and play with toys.  My kids were 5 and 2.   We loved that place and it's probably because we finally had some peace and some fun.

My ex did the same thing.  He accused me of  moving my kids to the "projects" because I wasn't good enough to give them a nice home like the one he had.  He still has that house and he lives in it alone and has for nearly 20 years.  The last girflriend lasted 6 years and finally gave up on him.

He gave up on his kids almost 10 years ago and they gave up on him the day we moved into the "projects." 

Best move I ever made.  Happily married now for 13 years with 2 more kids that are considered my older kids' brother and sister, though their donor dad always insisted on calling them "half".  "He's not your brother, he's your half-brother."

Idiot

Be strong, hang in there and don't give in. 

P.S.  I wasn't looking for another man, I just got lucky I guess.  He does forget to take the trash out sometimes though. 

I have to say I go with the rudeness.  This industry is falling apart.  Poor management runs rampant.  I have encountered the same thing as you have.  Once in a blue moon, I will run in a recruiter or manager who is on the ball and actually returns phone calls.  Most of the time, they act like you should feel blessed if they deign to call you back. 

I too am in search of intelligent management/MTSO. 

Patti, I wonder if that MT might be just using all letterhead so that is all that needs to be ordered, so they do not have to order matching paper for second pages. However, IF that were the case, I would assume the letterhead page would cost the doctor more, so that may be a way to present it as well to the doctor once you take over the account completely since $ talks for most of these docs. :D Also, if I understand you correctly, some reports are being done on letterhead that should be on plain paper and, if so, that is a real waste of money for the docs! I am with you - I have never seen anyone do that in my life. It is not only incorrect but, as I said, may actually cost more for the letterhead paper.

I was told on one account I work for that there are a couple words that I should divide/hyphenate that technically are one word. I was told that they wanted all the words  consistent that begin with this same prefix as some are divided/separated; however, some are not, and it is not correct, and I just can't force myself to do what I know is wrong! I guess if I were to told "do it my way or else", then I would. Otherwise, I am doing it correctly. :)

BTW, congrats on landing the new account and best wishes!

the harder the work, the more money it pays.  That makes sense to me, if you have work that you HAVE to get done.

Wow, I guess I'm just destined to have to put up with it.  I'm so scared about it though.

You may want to be careful when you criticize a company, because your remarks may have the opposite effect from what you intended.  I work for a relatively small MT service. Some time ago, we had a lady work for us who, for whatever reason, was angry when she left and said whenever she saw our company name mentioned on any of the message boards, she would say negative things about us... and she did. But here's the interesting part - inevitably, shortly after each time she has flamed us, we've had an increase in job applicants - people saying they've heard of us on whatever message board her remarks have appeared on. As a result, we've hired several really good transcriptionists.  Not exactly the effect she intended, but we're all pleased with the way this has turned out.
