We don't care what kind of education you have or how many websites you know about, bottom line
is your lacking of personality, and your [ pointing the finger ] attitude that you have. You go back to transcribing all the YUK that we now get after VR skims off the cream and see how well you do sitting listening to that for an entire shift, and you may take off that crown on top of your BIG HEAD !! How did you find one big enough to fit?

The bottom line is doesnt matter what they pay if there is no work you make no money. Bottom line.

The bottom line is
You always type it the way the client or your boss, company tells you to. And you are right, ibuprofen should not be capatalized unless at the beginning of the sentence because it is the generic name of a drug. As far as the BOS is concerned...there are many people that believe that book is the Bible as far as transcription is concerned. Again, it all boils down to the way your client or company wants the information transcribed. The BOS is not always followed to the letter.

nobody likes to see the officials produce the outcome of the game.... Of course they have to call things that are obvious, but in a championship game you cannot call the "iffy" calls and potentialy change the outcome of the game. Just let the players PLAY!!
Bottom line -
It can make a WORLD of difference how you feel about this profession depending on the accounts you have. I used to have nice accounts and made tons of money because I also got paid a huge line amount. I now have really tough accounts and do not get paid as much as I previously did. I work on four different accounts with all different specifics, tons of backround noise, grunting ESLs, you name it. I also have nearly no contact with the company itself, unless they need something from me. They then have no problem with calling me up.
Bottom line.......sm
You need to decide if this account is worth the aggravation. If it pays well and you make a decent wage monthly, then you need to put up with the aggravation.
If this account is not worth your time, then let it go.
If you are an IC, you can not get involved in the politics of the office or any other "petty" nonsense.
From the business owner perspective, only you can decide if the account is prosperous for you or not.
All this stuff about missing notes is aggravation and time consuming. Time is money. Is this account worth the headaches that come along with it.
Believe me, not all accounts are like this and some accounts are worse than this.
Again, the question becomes.."does this account make you enough money a month that you are happy with?"
Only you can answer that...Going back and forth with the office staff about missing notes is not the answer.
Ask yourself....Is it worth the effort to negotiate your contract under new terms, and if so, will you be happy with the new terms, and will these new terms eliminate your problem of missing notes?
As an observer.....the answer is probably "NO". But good money to me and good money to you may be different.
Good luck!
Bottom line is don't sub it out if
I would like to know bottom line here
I have been working in this field for 35 years and hope to continue. I work mostly VR, some straight. My pay is low, 4 VR and 8 straight. I only work part-time now because am at a point where that is sufficient. Can anyone tell me what their final pay is for a week's worth of work? If I worked full time it would be at least as much as I made in the 80s working inhouse. I know the pay is less than we made years ago but I figured out how much I needed to type to make X amount of dollars and that is what I do each day.
Yep, for Wedmedx. Bottom line, if you are an MT

bottom line it's what client wants...sm
and all of her corrections, most of them were right on....sorry to say that to you.....but it's p.o. b.i.d. and 82-year-old and all that good stuff. If they want you to EXPAND GERD that's in your favor.....you get more characters which equates to more line counts. But bottom line, it is what the client wants and all the clients are different with different things they want......hence why you think there is no consistency. Best of luck!!! 
always remember -- the bottom line is it's about
Errors in transcribed reports can and do lead to adverse outcomes for patients. Are we as MTs pushed to be perfect ?? Heck yes - the documentation we help produce will impact a patient's care not only in the current admission or office visit but in the future when other docs are asking for copies of records. Medication errors, diagnosis errors can haunt a patient for years to come. No one can be 100% perfect all the time, but the goal is to strive to that - take the feedback as constructive criticism - learn from your mistakes and always consider the patient's needs above your own need for validation. It's not about you, it's about the patient.
Bottom line for EVERYTHING is the almighty

Well, bottom line is money
If the administration at the hospital are feeling financial strain, rather than cutting back on their own 6 figure salary, they seem to think hmmmm....how many people can we get rid of and get the job done at a cheaper rate." At least that is what happened at a hospital I worked it. They were 16 million in debt and there had to be some lay offs and others that were left took the slack. They don't sacrifice, they expect everyone else to work harder and get paid less.
It is not just us. H works for a car dealership. People are leaving and are not getting replaced. The owner expects the workers that are still there to pick up the slack with no raises either. When the finance manager left, the new car manager filled in. He went and asked the owner for a raise because he is having to work 2 jobs now. The owner told him no, he is just filling in. The man said, no filling in is 2 or 3 weeks, this has been a year. The owner said, well, we don't really need a manager, we need you just to sell cars. In other words, the guy got demoted. After being there 10 years, he left. H's boss is going in after the first of the year to try to get them all a raise. I have to put it to him, he is brave to do that after what happened to the other guy.
I guess the bottom line is
can I make a decent living doing mostly VR at 4 cpl?
Can I actually just buy sliced bread and line the bottom?...

It is all about the bottom line. One of the largest transcription sm
companies is Cbay and they are pricing everyone else out.
I have spoken to several doctors and many other people about this issue and no one, and I mean no one, gives a hoot who types the report up.
This is about dollars and cents and it is not going away.
Bottom line is they need the worked turned around
quickly. Most companies overhire and one of those reasons is because there are lots of MTs who don't work their usual schedule, take a day off w/o notice, etc., so they have to have extra to cover for that. My company does their best not to overhire, but at times that means we have to work like dogs because there is so much work. I think some companies also offer incentives/benefits based on production and if you can't reach them they don't have to compensate you for them. There are times that work is just slow and a company can't give you work they don't have, but not being able to make any lines is a consistent issue then there is a problem. I would call your supervisor and ask for a backup account and/or look for another position.
Hosp not right but bottom line was with CIGNA.

It is not MT versus MTSO we have a bottom line too, & right now it is -

The bottom line is if the work runs dry, then
It's not rocket science.
With state and Federal, you 40% of your earnings GO, bottom line.
I don't know what's up for debate, it's fact.
Housing prices have gone up 40% in the past year alone in California.
Bottom line, just worry about your own butt instead of kissing theirs ; ) LOL

I guess the bottom line is any one of us would go back to in-house... SM
given the chance. I re-read my previous post to you and I sounded like a b*tch and I wanted to apologize. You sound like a very positive person who takes criticism and not so pleasant advice very diplomatically.
If your problems with your boss are more of a personal nature, rather than the quality or quantity of your work, I would maybe go over her head. You already have an adversarial relationship with her anyway, so why not get it on record that you feel she is treating you unfairly? Or maybe confront her yourself? I would probably do the latter. I'm not someone that can bite my tongue which probably explains why I work by myself at a computer all day rather than in customer service!
Just an FYI, I actually am starting an in-house MT job at a hospital tomorrow! I've decided that if they try to lay me off in favor of outsourcing, I'm just going to refuse. I'm going say "nope, I'm sorry, I refuse to be laid off. I'm going to get back to work now." I wonder what they would do? 
Spoken like true "suit". All about the bottom line,
,
Lets bottom line this, say she leaves and goes to another company
What do you think would be her chances of them going to VR? Do you think it will go poof and disappear? Do you think refusing to take lower wages makes the companies take notice and reverse to go back to the golden days when we had really good salaries? Be willing to bet that next paycheck most would go along with their companies going to VR rather than changing, going to a new job only to find out the same thing happens there.
And all this time I thought the bottom line was patient care. nm

Webmedx has shortened all the hours too, for which they pay a differential. Bottom line, always.

So, bottom line is it is a fraudulent web site and viewing it may have exposed us to a virus?

Why in the world do companies not list their line rate in their ads?
Why waste my time applying for a position that pays 0.065 per line?
Why are they ashamed (other than the obvious). Let's be up front with this!!!
Depends on what kind of line really
gross lines in my area are about 12 cpl, and I'm not sure about 65-character lines, but I think somewhere around 15-17 cpl.
getting cmt is kind of like getting a certificate for being an excellent top of the line blacksmith.
so what? so you jumped through all the hoops, learned the trade and now it is obsolete. but you got your little CMT to keep you warm and cozy? employers are going to pay what they are going to pay (as little as possible) and that little certificate means nothing to them in the broader scheme of MT world as it goes into the VR and offshore world.
oh but mr. national recruiter, i have a certificate and i should have 12 cpl for my skills and education....... bwaaaaahaaaaa.
This isn't RELIGION 101
This happens to be medical transcription we're talking about....maybe you're one of those recruiters that will hire just about anyone, including illiterate people, to take more of our jobs away....this isn't about JUDGING anyone.....it's only about raising the bar and DEMANDING quality and professionalism from our peers......I wonder what you're work looks like......hmmmmm. I still stick to what I said.....If you can't pass a basic vocabulary test in the ENGLISH language.....MOVE ON!
Religion
Can you spell blasphemy?
"Wacked out about religion". How come you sm
don't say that about the others who are completely wacko? I can think of Tom Cruise and Scientology Richard Gere and Buddhism (I believe)to name just two. I say good for Stephen to share his faith. If others in Hollywood can do it, he shouldn't suffer the consequences for it.
pushing religion
I say that about anyone pushing their beliefs..be it gere, cruise, the pillsbury dough boy..You have beliefs, wonderful, so do I..however, that all changes when you try to push your religion/beliefs on others..More power buddists, scientologists, christians, pagans, hindus, muslims, you name it..just dont try to sway me unless I ask for it..
we now have freedom OF religion for all
you are perfectly free to celebrate whatever holiday you wish to NOW. The majority celebrating Christmas does not diminish that in any way, shape or form.
The only time religion
is when people try to force it down your throat or give you the holier-than-thou attitude of "I'm going to heaven, and you're going to hell."
religion board
How would one access the religion board.
Einstein did not believe in religion.

Organized religion
basically is another club. It ends up being about its own entity and not the spirituality it is supposed to embrace. Christ said basically the same thing when he was on earth.
Maybe you could get the other employees together to voice your feelings and needs to this employer to see if you can prompt some very necessary changes. If not, I would start seriously looking for a healthier work environment.
Remember that it is also not good for the people who take advantage to be allowed to do so (work or personal).
I am so sorry about your friend/co-worker. I hope you can gain strength from this loss to make some changes.
organized religion
Your comment aboput organized religion is off teh subject and snarky. This person did not die because it was A CATHOLIC hospital and I for one am tired of this sort of modern day sneering. I work at a Catholic Hospital. I absolutely loathe the manager who will not give me a singel Sunday off but she herself is a Catholic and tries to tell me waht church to go to. She's not a jerk becuase of her religion. She's just a jerk. Period. I won't die from stress becuase my life is worth more that 400 lines. But to make off the wall comments about religion is not ok.
Religion vs. spirituality. sm
Religion is for people who are afraid of going to h*ll. Spirituality is for those who have been there and don't want to ever go back. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.
No one who is actively abusing drugs and/or alcohol can have a relationship with Jesus Christ--or with anyone else, for that matter, other than a very dysfunctional one. You must first be clean and sober.
If I'm that much of a sinner, maybe you should just pray for me instead of flaming me here on this message board. Jesus might like that better, who knows? :D
IMO - no. If he hits you once, he will hit you again. It will not matter what religion you believe
x
It is not about religion being a sensitive subject, it is about
posting on the correct forum. The Main board gets so jammed that we have had to create other forums for particular subjects. We only ask that posters kindly utilize those forums instead of posting every single thing on the Main board.
Again, thank you.

The religion issue came at a good time. sm
My daughter is 10.
We're in the car and she wanted to call her friend Jessica on the cell phone. She said, "It's after 2:00, so they're already home from church."
Then she says, "You know, mama, I don't mind going to church with them, but I hate going up and eating that yucky bread."
I said, "They had you go up for communion?" and she said, "I think that's what it is. The guy in the robes puts a yucky cracker thingy in your mouth, but they call it bread for some reason."
So I said, "You don't have to go up and take communion, you're not Catholic. I could talk to Jessica's parents and tell them that you aren't a Catholic and you shouldn't go up and take communion."
She said, She said, "Well, I'd feel stupid just sitting there when everyone else went up. I'm not going to go someplace bad if I do the Catholic thing and I'm not really a Catholic am I?"
I said, "Of course not. You just don't have to that's all."
She said, "It's okay, I don't really mind it that much." After a few minutes she said: "Hey wait a minute, we're not JEWISH ARE WE?!!!"
Another half hour on the different faiths and beliefs and the fact that it doesn't matter what you choose, but that it is a private, personal choice, and that one should never try to convince another person that their way of thinking is the "right" way.
She thought it wasn't a good thing not to have a Christmas tree, but then thought that Hannukah was "really cool" because the kids didn't have to wait to open a present. Then she said, "Well, we could light a candle every night for the Jewish kids because they don't have a Christmas tree and then maybe we could just open a present."
I said, "Nice try kiddo."
Out of the mouths of babes!
