Its not the animal lovers fault about abortion and abuse of innocent children, it's the fault...
of our government to allow such a law. The innocent dogs being killed over the so-called rabies roundup vs. shortage of "beef" have no government to help protect their rights to live so the humans have to step in and protect their rights and the humans should protect the human's rights as well to live, but when a government passes laws, etc., you can only fault the government; afterall, they have the final decision.
it IS the mayor's fault and it IS Kathleen Blanco's fault
to assess the potential damage and what help they have immediately available in their area. They are then responsible for contacting the feds for more aid BEFORE the fact if they truly know their geography, economics, and have a weather advisory board on hand for such purposes, which they DO.
The mayor and the governor did not do any of this and now as the general consensus of the liberal loonies always turns, if you drop the ball and don't take responsibility for what you're expected to know how to do in your elected office, BLAME BUSH.
Stupid is as stupid does.
MQ sucks!
Perhaps the OP is someone new to this rotten bunch called MedQuist and maybe new to this racket in general. Innocence is so cute in a newbie!
MQ Sucks
Take it from some one who worked on the inside. you think you MT's are treated like xxxx? you have no Idea what an actual employee has to go through. specially in a certain office. Now I can't talk to badly about MQ as a coporation unless you count INTENTIONAL FRAUD bad but hey it is always the "right thing" to do when you come clean after you have been caught right? Considering they went through great lengths to hide their inside coruption....
Now the people that work in the office, lets just say if this is how women would run the world boy am i happy that men are in charge. These ladies are vindictive, mean, ugly, and unholy. They take advantage people over left and right with no regards to ethics and morals. trust me i would know. and all of you who are treated kindly by this office must do either a lot of xxx kissing or be on their good side. I have seen some xxxx in my day that would disgust most of you. So those who are defenders of Medquist are completely in the dark about what they are talking about. Maybe the coporation as a whole has matured some but the office in SO. Cal. and you know where i am talking about sucks. beyound sucks makes me want to throw up!
can i get an AMEN? (sorry if my spelling sucks)
OMG! The BO sucks!
I was in a Walmart once in Connecticut and thought I was going to vomit! What's up with people???? You're in the store, buy some soap for goodness sake!
Wow, that sucks!
Good luck on finding another job if you haven't already...
It sucks
that sucks
I guess I waited too long? I just found out today that my company is being audited by AT&T. Basically some suits are coming in next week to decide whether it is financially frugal to keep the center open or not. Since att owns practically all the major telecommunications companies now, there is a lot more competition for my job, which means they won't bat an eye at firing over 300 employees. Yet another sign of our failing economy. I might be completely jobless soon. Where are people like me supposed to go from here? I love transcription and was planning on doing it for a very long time.
I know and it sucks....
If my accounts go VR/SR and pay what the above poster mentioned, I will have to *edit* 3-1/2 times the lines to make what i make now. So, my paycheck that is 16,000 lines this Friday would have to be somewhere around 51,000 lines. I don't think there are enough hours in a day for me to get that much. lol Good thing I decided to go back to school this fall and I'm steering clear of the medical field. lol
Nothing sucks more
In my opinion, its always what they want to hire you to do and its always the hardest temp job to take - receptionists are magically expected to know "everything" about a company and every employee that works there. If companies had any sense they'd make a more seasoned employee (that actually KNOWS some answers) take the receptionist job and let the temp file or make copies. But the seasoned employees refuse to do reception work - because everyone knows it sucks! Then they act like they're doing you the ultimate favor if they drag themselves to the reception desk long enough to let you pee twice a day - and sneer at you because you don't KNOW Mr. Jones always plays golf on Thursdays at 2, and Mr. Smith always covers for him...how the heck WOULD you know that unless you'd worked there more than 5 minutes! Oh, and by the time you've learnt enough mini-facts like these to actually make you good at that job, the assignment is over - and none of these vitally important tidbits will mean a thing at the next temp job.
I finally had to tell every temp agency I applied at that I refuse reception work - it was all I was ever offered, and I got really sick of being treated like I was stupid because I didn't know every idiosyncrasy of a company the second I strolled in the door. Temps already get treated like second-class citizens at most companies, which is bad enough on your self esteem, but to be chided all day because you "should have" known the unknowable and having to beg to be let to have a pee break is just too demeaning!
Softscript sucks!
Run as far away as you can from them!!
Work on my end sucks! But is MDI
so that should explain why.
This was on and off over about 5 hours---sucks!

sucks is a compliment.

I know that sort of sucks, but that's what the gov
f
Truthfully, imo, ES sucks!!!
I will admit that EditScript is kind of a neat program.
HOWEVER, whereas I used to make 9+ cpl, on the same account with ES I now make 8 cpl for transcription and 3.5 cpl for editing. Not only that, I no longer get paid for headers.
Also, the longer the hospital uses ES, the more editing and less transcribing I do. There are only so many reports being dictated, so no matter if I increase my speed and do more reports, the work WILL run out.
As a result, my pay has been effectively CUT IN HALF!
Thank you very much!!!
After 25+ years in this field, I'm ready to quit.
iType sucks

That's one thing that sucks
about this profession. There are so many factors involved and things to learn, and we are not compensated properly in regard to that. There should be a handicap or something. It would also help if the companies would at least be patient and understanding about the breaking in process.
I, too, get all fumbly and freaked when starting new accounts. I hate that. We need to come with reset buttons for times when the fight or flight mode kicks in and makes things harder. Lol! :)
For the most part, non-ASR dictation SUCKS.
That's why I wondered why people would give up ASR to do regular dictation. What's left is junk from dictators no ASR could be trained.
procrastination sucks has the best advice-just do it!! NOW! nm

speech recognition sucks
They are selling it to docs and hospitals based on one thing only, it will cost them less money. Guess why?
It will cost US more money.
The only good thing I have to say about it is this: I know one of the major hospitals in my area is trying it and failing miserably.
They came out of the barn with this donkey a wee bit too early.
Wrong. You're the only one who sucks
more than Monica. In fact, you sucked so much, you were the first american to overdose on semen. They were barely able to save you. Yo daddy and uncle ron kept your throat full of protein.
Agree on the K-mart. The one near us SUCKS.

Yep, that about sums it up. Weekend TV sucks.

Sounds like their training sucks! nm

Much easier to make lines, but the pay sucks
...
i count blind everyday-it totally sucks!
i work for a local hospital and we have 2 systems, one system can view their lines in realtime and the other side of the department doesn't have any idea what our lines are. we have to wait til the following week for the report to be ran. you can always tell if you made the manager or lead mad that week because your lines will be really low. if you dare to question them then you have to face the rath! they screw with our lines on a daily, sometimes hourly basis. there are a few people that watch their lines by report and catch them doing it and have to fight, and i do mean fight, to get it corrected. 
True, you can test without a pedal but it sucks and if you are newbie
trying to test for your first jobs, doing it without a pedal is going to really be difficult! Plus, you have to consider the first job she gets probably won't be the last and she'll probably be testing again in the future and that USB pedal will pay for itself in the long run.
Personally, I think a USB foot pedal is a very good investment and I've always had need for one. Down the road, you can buy one of the 9-pin or 15-pin pedals if you find a job that requires one, but the future is USB. You'd be hard pressed to go out and buy a brand new computer that would even have a 9-pin or 15-pin port. I'm just saying...
P.S. You can get on ebay and find pedals and headsets for pretty good prices. I got my USB Infinity off of ebay and paid $30 for it and my Koss DC-10 headset for $20.
mine sucks snot all the time...allergies I guess.

It's our fault
I saw an article yesterday (can't remember which newspaper) that said that. It's America'a fault there's global warning, its (whichever gods) punishment to the US.
Not my fault!
Only because the bashings start immediately after I post and then I react - sorry for being human!
My fault
Next time honey, we will turn on the lights so everyone can see it. Also, I would appreciate all the music turned down so I can hear you say to me "Oh Frank, my goodness you are so......" I just love it when you talk to me like that. For that my dear, you will get a bonus in your check next pay.
Yes of course my FAULT
Yes I looked up words, Yes I did my research, YES I HAD A BAD ESL WHO DIDN'T SPEAK ENGLISH !!!!!!!!! That is WHY
My fault sm
I also usually stay off the boards, but I totally forgot tonight. That's OK
It's not the dog's fault....
nm
Right...and of course, it's someone else's fault you were
Still can't post, still don't get it and still haven't learned to just stay out of the conversation as obviously they're not looking for your opinion...rude and mean as ever. Of course...that's just an OPINION. blah blah
How was it my fault?????
I was sitting there minding my own business. He walks over and blurts out my test results. Exactly what should I have done? Put tape over his mouth? I had no idea what he was going to say before he said it. I am the injured party here who is out over $100.00. I have to type an entire day to make $100.00.
It's always our fault
I learned a long time ago that no matter what, any mistakes made will always be blamed on the MT. If something doesn't get dictated by the doc, the excuse is inevitably either "it was lost by the transcriptionist" or "that Transcriptionist isn't typing all my dictations."
I used to greatly respect doctors - and then I became an MT and started actually having to work with them. Boy did my opinion change - and fast!
Lu..........thank-you. If I have a fault it sm
is being blunt. But, I am not going to sit here and beat around the bush and sugar coat things. I have seen too many whiny, complaining MTs in my career to cater to that stuff any longer. If you have been in the business a long time you know what I mean as do all of the others who have done this for a long time.
Maybe the bluntness comes from working on production for years (which I like) or whatever, but I don't have time to baby and soothe. If people don't want to hear how the business is then don't listen (most don't listen anyway).
The Mts who are successful in this business, working on production, know that we don't have time for the nonsense! I especially don't have time for the folks who are complaining because they have TOO much work and have to do different accounts, when there are people out there begging for work! Kind of reminds me of people who complain of having no money, need money and the overtime is there, but they just don't want to work it today! GEESH!
I don't fault you for being pessimistic
because the both the companies and our own so-called professional organization have trodden on us for so long that most MTs really don't think there is any other way.
Fortunately, nothing I have planned requires the "companies" to listen to anything MTs have to say, "whining" or nicely.
And nothing I have planned requires cooperation from the beneficiaries of cherry picking with wonderful accounts and who are happy with their jobs.
The essence of the situation is that services are much more in danger of extinction in this age of technology and the global economy than are domestic MTs. The majority of them are on borrowed time.
The companies don't have the assets that are critical to the future of the profession. The offshore companies and their transcriptionists certainly don't.
The only ones who do are the MTs with the skills to do the work that can't be done by VR or offshore. Those are the only assets that aren't commodoties. Those skills can't be replaced by a software robot, a matchbook-school new graduate, or an offshore wannabe cherrypicking-transcriptionist to do the easy "Queen's English, theatrical elocution" dictation.
The MTs are the ones in possession of the assets that are critical. The skills are the asset, not the job. The job can be sent offshore. The company can fire you from a particular job. But the critical assets are still in the hands of the MTs, who have the power to shape their future by harnassing and directing those assets in a positive way.
Why is the MT's fault? Apparently he
is being allowed to do that by his supervisor.
It isn't any MT's fault -- given opportunity, then those who really want the money will make it.
I know that for myself I work my schedule. I do work extra quite a bit of the time -- at the request of my supervisor. They ask me specifically to work more.
Surely, you are not suggestion that I say, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I just can't work any extra. You see, MT Mary Poppins will get huffy because she will think I'm stealing her lines and then I will be called a greedy MT so I should forfeit money to be made for myself because of how SHE feels." ???
If you TRULY think that is reasonable, you are going to be miserable as long as you are in this job.
If I am asked to do more, I will do it as long as I am working in this business. It's NOT unfair to anyone. It is my opportunity to make money. Nothing is unfair about that.
Sheryl, I'm sure it's my fault. SM
I am terrible at explaining. I wish somebody else would look over my instructions and help you, because I promise, it works.
And this is AAMT's Fault????
Come on, get real! All AAMT did with that list is publish what JCAHO already said was not to be used because it is on their list of dangerous abbreviations. It's all about patient safety and if you haven't read up on that, it IS the hot topic in healthcare these days, so much that studies are done every year by the National Institute of Medicine. AAMT may have faults, but have your facts straight about who causes the changes and why before you spout off.
like its your fault he has to work in the day?.....
tell his sorry ______ to grow up and be a man. you wanna better yourself and make a better life for your family. you go girl!
Giving up? That's their fault then!
Sorry, but where survival is concerned, you don't "give up". There's always a way. I've scooped dog pens, I've delivered phone books, I've cleaned houses. That's a lame excuse and people like that don't get any pity from me.
I eventually went back to school and am out of debt, own my home and both my kids are college educated, with me being the next to graduate from a major university.
I've been kicked in the butt financially, health-wise (lost my job, got fired because I had cancer and chemo made me "throw up too much"), divorce due to domestic violence.
I never gave up. I will never give up.
Life is YOUR responsibility. If you give up, that's up to you but there's no one to blame but yourself.
this comes off that it is her fault this happened - sm
because of her fence. I disagree. The pitbulls would have gotten in the fence themselves regardless if they were intent on attacking, and any dog that wants to get out from a fenced area can if it is intent on doing so as well. I had an adult husky that bent up the wire enclosure on a split rail fence about 3 inches, and squeezed under the fence and got out. He saw deer. It took 45 minutes to catch him, so never say never about letting your dogs out, accidents/things happen every day.
MT and practice are both at fault sm
Have had this done to me more than once. The PT office should have said, no way, if she approached them. She should have said, no way, if they approached her. You have been hurt, and it's not only common courtesy but a stab in the back. Keep them as a client until you get really busy with others and then drop them. I would not keep her, not for one moment. I had to let go of both a friendship,, a client and an employee twice because I do not tolerate this type of sinister behavior. You should not either. Fool me once, shame on me; foll me twice, shame on me. You should be flaming mad, you have every right, you were scammed by both.
I would have to agree. If not your fault,
don't look back.
It is also not the MTSO's fault if there
is no work from their clients. We are given the option of taking off for a while and checking back later. We are NEVER required to take PTO for not having work. However, I should add that I work FT by line production only, not required 40 hours a week, so it is not quite as bad on my end as it is for those required a set amount of hours per week.
However, one cannot blame the MTSO, like I said, if they are not sent any work.
Can You Believe these posts?? I know - ITS MEDQUIST'S FAULT!
The depravity of the human mind is so apparent on this board, I just can't take it anymore.
if you're getting jerked around that's your fault
quit. do something else. go somewhere else. you let 'em treat you that way. get your own accounts.
you need someone who can relate to your feelings of frustration? oh well, we can relate, dear. we can relate how your attitude stinks that we have other topics to talk about and you want to get onto everyone for it. lmao
put your topic out there and if no one answers your posts, no one's interested. if they are, they'll answer. if you get no answers and you still "need to talk to someone", hire a therapist or a dog or something.
