INDIA, INDIA, NEWBIE LOOKING FOR INDIAN-OWNED COMPANY-FORGET AMERICA COMPANIES HIRING NEWBIES!!!!
Our country sucks when it comes to teamwork.  My experience is in hospital transcription and 95% foreign dictators.  Most of my dictators are from India and surrounding countries.  Give up you all, India is already way ahead of us!
It's probably a telemarketing call center
using a computerized sequential dialer program - I think they've been outlawed in most of the US states.  If you have caller ID, just don't answer unless you know who's calling.
No, it does not. The call center is probably overseas

Poverty in India versus America
Honey, why do you think they work for 4 cents a line on average.  If you have never been there, you do not even know what you are talking about. 
I do virtual call center work and was having sm
trouble with people knocking and calling me interrupting my work. They were always asking for dumb things! (I'm single and this is our only income.)
The more time for homeschooling was a surprise!
We have been to the park more too. He is getting to bed by 8:30 (before it was Always after 10 no matter what I did) and I'm getting more sleep too.

Thank you for the help and advice. :)
Check at a local nursery/garden center for varieties that are bred for your area, then check online

there's lots of India MT boards online...*S*..

The last call I received after a huge mailing (sm)

And I mean huge, over 200 brochures with over 25 years of experience and a digital system -- they were willing to pay about 9 cents a line for surgery notes.  Since I live in California, 16 cents would be more like it.  I guess I'm not that flexible.


They must have answered that India ad. 


The people who call me from India are AM
ALWAYS polite, agreeable, call me "ma'am", say please and thank you, etc.  They at least attempt to seem concerned with what I need from the company. 
Yes a SCAM, huge email fraud..they would notify you CERTIFIED MAIL or lawyer would call
   I get 2-5 of them a day...ALL FOREIGN using yahoo or hotmail.
You need to call your City Hall or look online
I've lived in Virginia and Missouri and had to have one in both states. I think most people just assume you don't, but if you get caught operating a business in your home without one, you can get in trouble and face a fine. You can just Google "business license" and your city/state and should be able to tell if you need one or not. I make under 30,000 a year and the license is only around $50/year, so it's bad, and I don't have to pay any taxes or whatever on my equipment.
Ever call people you meet online?

 


I feel a little weird calling someone that I met online.  Yet several people have left me their phone numbers to call them just to chat or some ask me to IM (instant message) them.  Are they too trusting?  Am I too mistrusting?  It just feels weird to me.  I am on my own.   No kids or anything.  Soon to be 45 years old.  So I guess maybe that comes across in my e-mails that I am lonely and they are just trying to be nice.  However, I would prefer just to leave a message on the message boards like this one or send an e-mail.  I guess I want to know if others are exchanging phone numbers over the internet and IMing people they meet over the internet?  The people I meet are usually people suffering from autoimmune disorders or people in chronic pain.  They are usually responding to a message I left.  I can't do anything about this condition so I try to focus on others and offer whatever words of encouragement I can over the internet to those suffering.


 


 


 


That puter with a D is OK if you don't have to call (India) service n/m
 
Bare Minerals IS available at ULTA online,Sephora online...(sm)

...and you don't have to sign up for a makeup "club," or anything. I totally agree with you that this makeup is great for all the basic purposes (coverage, lasting), but their slogan is "Makeup so healthy you can sleep in it." There is a delay in time between when you can apply your powder after moisturizer, but it is really worth it.


To go with your powder I recommend the "pump brush" offered at some of the cosmetic online stores. You fill the handle with your powder mixture (I mix two different powders, changing it up or down according to how much sun I've been getting) and the pump brush will distribute some to the bristles, tap and have at it! This is great for carrying it with you to minimize the loss into the lining of your handbag!


I cannot recommend Bare Minerals enough. I used to be a MAC convert, and have tried everything from Chanel to Maybelline--this product does not disappoint.


Used to think we were using India, but now realize India is using us for our med. info, jobs,

I think you're a little off center

Attitude has nothing whatsoever to do with "success" these days.  I personally know too many MTs,  working for different companies, with very legitimate complaints and they aren't the cry baby types.  I am a good MT also but what difference does that make if there's no work? I always asked the same question, "Do your MTs run out of work?"   I do not have time to sit around all day waiting to see if there might be some work to do...either I work or I don't.  Every recruiter assured me that there was plenty of work.  They lied.  I have worked now for 2 years for the same company and this time the recruiter told me there was plenty of work and obviously there is or I wouldn't still be there.  If and when I start running out of work with them, I am out of MT period.  So, I guess, I have to revise my first statement a little.  If anyone finds the right company for them, then attitude probably does have everything to do with success.  As for myself, I rarely hear anything from the company I work for other than regularly getting my pay stub that my pay has been direct deposited on time and for the correct amount.  I think some MTs put too much emphasis on line rates.  1500 lines per day at 8.5 cpl comes out to a whole lot more than  200 lines at 15 cpl.  As for my line rate, it isn't terribly impressive but I make as much as I want to make and don't have to kill myself doing it so these days that's about all one can expect IMO.


We have a bowling center
And our employees get free bowling, lol!!


How do I center something in Word?
thanks
document solution center
Jen: Is that the one in Gadsden? with Tina Parker as president? You can email me for more info, but I worked for them for 2 1/2 years and I would not recommend it to anyone.  Thanks, Beth
Dell's support center
Dell provides technical support from their American staff only to CORPORATE clients, all others, like you and me, we get INDIA.
The medical center by my home is the same (sm)
The last time I was in there the receptionist said that all their dictation is done by EMR.  The doctor pulls up the patient file, dictates into a little black machine, and it is automatically put into the record.  The receptionist said this is done at THEIR medical center and ALL THEIR SATELLITES.  I was not at all happy to hear this.  They used to have transcriptionists.
Here are some more - Maine Medical Center, sm
Fairview Health System, Gwinnett Medical Center, Atlanta, Piedmont Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess, Charlston Medical Center, West Virginia, Pacific California Hospital, UMass hospital, Marin General Hospital, California, New England Baptist, and the list goes on and on and on.

Eastern Maine Medical Center
I miss working with other people. I miss having a QA person or a supervisor I know and can go talk to. I miss the hospital gossip and hearing about people's grandkids. Sigh. I left them to work at home figuring it would be all that. But it's not. Sigh....

Hi,


I was just wondering if anyone had any good/bad info on this company. I can't seem to find much information on them. Thanks.

It depends on what department you are going into. Are you Medical Records MT? or Radiolgy MT?
The surgery center personnel are just as guilty, IMO. sm
Doctors are not untouchable. Any nurse or tech or secretary who has direct knowledge of a doctor using illegal substances and going into surgery is contributing to the problem.
SIL says she went through Wellspan Community Health Center. sm
any idea how to call them? i am not finding that exact name info. i did find roseann freundel as a DO student in WV but just pictured and an article. no contact info.
Actually a surgery center is acute care.
But surgery is surgery.  Clinic work is not transcribing anything too invasive other than a Botox injection if you're lucky.  I would think about that rate for transcribing surgeries.  8.5 is low. 
Insect bites, center water blister.

For an entire month maybe once or twice a week, I have been bitten by some unknown sneaky bug that leaves a center water blister and a huge red swollen area around the blister, maybe  the size of a half dollar coin.  I have been putting neosporin on it but would love to know what is biting me.  I woke up this morning with 3 extra bites.  I knew about the one on my wrist which has already started to blister.  I am thinking of going to the doctor but don't want to look like a wacko going in for nothing.  However, I absolutely hate insects and they seem to love me with the bites.


The itching  seems to happen when I am in the backyard (lots of trees and bushes).  So, might be getting bit there first then the bites get worse as time goes by.  They leave scabby cicular scars.  The skin looks healed but very dark.


Anyone else with this experience or should I just head to the doctor.  Can't really afford it but tired of the bites and the scars they are leaving.  Thanks.


Question inside about Renting from Rent-A Center. sm

What was your expeience?  Is it very expensive?  I was thinking about renting a laptop computer to use for work on vacation for a couple of weeks and not ready to invest in purchasing a new laptop yet.  Can you rent things for about a month or do they require longer?


Thanks for any help you guys might give.');>


 


Does anyone know where to find a listing of the V.A. Medical Center physicians?

Might want to scoop some into a Baggie and take them to the local nursery/garden center to ID. nm

got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to

we received our "incentive packet."  They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally.   These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.


*70 will disable call waiting unless you are expecting a call and want it on (nm)

Search The Deborah Heart and Lung Center, Mayo Clinic or other big institutions for research. nm

I think America....
is getting tired of the political correctness gone amok.  While I'm  all for separation of church and state, as the original forefathers intended it to be, which is that the government shall not establish a religion and then force the citizens to BE that religion (as it was with the Church of England), I don't think they intended for us to be afraid to say Merry Christmas.  As much as some may not like  it, this country is overwhelmingly Judeochristian, and most Christian.  I'm sick and  tired of all the time, money, and energy spent on making sure a school calls the Christmas Holiday "Winter Break." 
DTS America
Has anyone worked for DTS America?

America
This is America. Last I checked we speak English here unless you are gifted enough to speak more than 1 language or you are a native of another country that does not speak English. If I went to France I would not expect them to know English, I would learn their language, French. This is America. We speak English as far as I know. If you are born here chances are you will learn English as your language unless your parents are immigrants then you might learn English and some other language. What language do they use in the schools? ENGLISH!!! I am not learning another language here in my own country. If I want to learn another language I will go to another country. Don't get me wrong I would not mind knowing another language but I get fustrated when people come here and think we should learn their language when in fact they need to learn English.
DTS America
I am thinking of possible employment with this company.  Has anyone ever worked for them or know anything about this company called DTS America from Tennessee?
DTS AMERICA

IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE WORKING FOR DTS, BRENTWOOD BRANCH?


DTS America
Anybody out there getting a hard time at the Brentwood Branch by a certain manager?  I have gone to management, but nobody listens.  Seems this company doesn't care how many experienced MTs they lose.  They seem to think we are "disposable".  Don't question a thing, your're job/life will only be made miserable.  I am leaving as soon as I find another company to work for.  Great accounts, lousy company, lousy management.  No communication with employees whatsoever.
