There's one thing that I've seen stop many many people....
A heart attack or cancer. My father-in-law SWORE he could not quit not matter what, but had a coronary and that was his last cigarette. My own father quit cold turkey after 3+ packs a day when he began coughing so hard he couldn't catch his breath. I've also known people who had a cancer scare and were able to quit. If nothing else, FEAR will do it. Unfortunately, waiting for the fear might be too late for many.
Yes we are out of work but did you ever stop to think what kind of people they are hiring to flood
the accounts. I happen to know they AINT good and the blanks keep rolling in and are passed on to the hospitals because Amherst QA does not fill them in for whatever reason. Probably too stupid to understand the hard STUFF. I do QA and I know this is true.
First, I was being a bit sarcastic ...
Second, while I think a union that is in full force today would make an impact in the problems the industry is facing, I don't think a new fledgling union start would change much for the better now.
Just my opinion.
What? Are you being sarcastic?
Honestly I feel sorry for some of the children of the people on this board. Can you give compliments to them, or is everything they do bashed too if not up to your standards or your opinion of what everyone's standards should be. Of course not, your kids could be living in the street and you'd be on here posting how wonderful they are. If these are grown women posting, they should be ashamed of themselves! Patti's house is beautiful, maybe not for everyone, but if she loves it that is ALL that really matters. The rest of you sound like you live in a trailer park.
Where did I say they were being sarcastic?
I did not. YOU are the one assuming now. I have editing experience, I have transcription experience and I have supervisory experience. I just don't have editing and supervisory experience in the medical transcription field. Thus, the "break into" comment. I didn't feel the need to go into specific details about my background and college education. But thanks for all the help. If you can't answer the question and provide anything positive to the conversation, why post at all? Just to be snarky and accusatory?
No not me....I was being sarcastic...
I was on your side. Mean that poster was the one stirring.
Are you just being sarcastic?
It's sort of hard to tell for sure.
If not, they would need her Soc# for government help, so I would think they would know she is working.
I would say, check out what your state offers and do what you have to do (quit if you must), but I do think it is very odd that you have been trying for a child when you are so hard up financially ... and even more odd that you didn't have a plan in mind as to how to deal with the health care.
I think we would all really like to hear your thinking on that part.
I was just being sarcastic! :D sm
Because they should NOT depend on us to automatically know how to spell anything right, not even "aspirin". If the doctor is going to spell out a word, he should spell it correctly or not at all. JMO.
GEt a clue I was being sarcastic, duh
And of course, I'm the "little" Hispanic girl - dumbass!
It is rude to be sarcastic.
x
I, of course, was being highly sarcastic.
Wow. No sense of humor? Seems this place can do that to some.
Cheers, luv, cheers.
This is just a sarcastic guess, but I'm assuming by the line - sm
why else would there be so many mistakes. If they were paid by the hour, maybe they would spend more time on getting to know the ENGLISH language. I actually had a report come back from India where instead of the word "children" it said "litter."
Yes, but the sarcastic exclamation points were unnecessary
mean, sarcastic manager and QA cousin at meditec
The internship is fine, don't look to get rich though. Purely training. Good way to get your foot in the door. The reason why you may want to stay away is because of the manager and her cousin who is in editing. Mean, sarcastic people! That is how they treated me anyway.
stop and full stop
that reminds me of a doctor who had his own very unique word for period...he called it a "perikat". All through the report...Perikat... perikat.... LOL
if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.
As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
so many people was wishy-washy nowadays...love to see people make
a stand for what they believe in...
it is kind of wierd those statements have to be made in the first place but guess we are an ever-transitioning country and are still young. so many different beliefs yet not much tolerance.
I found your post respectful, and right on as to how you feel. it does not seem that difficult to sift through to read and respond to messages someone might not care for...
Just remember that it is not the people on this board who short changed their people and ONLY after
caught did they (after they were suied) make an effort to look good by sending out these checks. Now, think about this--had they done this many years ago when they short changed everyone, that would have been honest. Does it not bother you that only after they know they are under the gun that they are doing this to try and make themselves look good?
I used to work for MQ and I used to like what I did. I never can say I really liked the people that I worked with, but I really think they had some of the best accounts that I have ever come across in the MT industry. I loved working the major teaching hospitals that I did, but that certainly does not mean that I enjoyed being cheated out of pay.
So chill already. People have been cheated, were lied to, and only AFTER they got caught have they tried to return some of the money they robbed us of (as well as cheated their clients).
We all have reasons not to be happy with this company and you go off on us because we are complaining of things like small refund checks of a penny or a few cents or a few hundred dollars and NO WAY to even check to find out if this is correct?
I am sorry you are unhappy all of us thinking that there is still a dead rat in the cellar, but there is still a dead rat in the cellar and nothing will bring the dead rat back.
I would hold no love for a company that I know willingly cheated the very people who helped THEM make money out of their hard-earned money.
Go take a deep breath and think about that.
My people skills are just fine. I just want to hire people who want to work.
I've not been ugly, I've asked questions, legitimate ones. Please tell me what is wrong with that. This site is not just for MTs, it is for QA Editors, Supervisors, Service Owners, there's even sections for Billers, Coders, and Nurses.
rude people? I would take good pay over polite people any day
Besides that they have never been rude to me and I have been here for almost 2 years. What do you consider a bad account?
I know my account is a little tough, but I am used to it. I am tough!
Rude people? I hardly think so. They are some of the nicest people I have ever worked with. sm
Not just management, but QA as well. No one is rude. They are a very understanding staff. There is one account that is hard but all it takes is getting used to it. Once you are used to it, it is no harder than any other ESL account that you would do anyplace else. I have heard all these things about TH from the archives and I have yet to come across rudeness or any kind of thing that I have read about in the archives. I would definitely pursue them if I were you. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
2 people to do that amount of work, is she nuts? More like 20+ people - nm
x
Stop going to the doc, then! Oh, you NEED them though, huh?! LOL nm
..
I definitely want it to stop
I just don't want to lose my mother in the process. I put myself in her shoes. What would I do if my husband of 15 years was making advances at my daughter? I don't want to get too graphic with some of the things he's said, but definite harrassment. If I brought things to light, it would put her in an awful position, so I thought I could get it off my chest by telling another family member. We don't exactly have a warm loving relationship as it is, so this would be like the last nail in the coffin. I just want it to go away, so I stay away, but the guilt is awful.
Just stop already!
I agree - why get the boat rockin' again!
Yes, I think you should stop
doing this. Were you banned from this site and used the proxy4free.com thing to get back on?
Just Stop It . . .
Think of what people in the hurricanes went or are going through--NO THING is permanent--relationships with our loved ones are far more important.
If you have not made use of an item in a year and it is easily replaced, donate the item (if it is in good condition) to charity.
Irreplaceable, important, legal papers go into the safe deposit box. Keep a fire proof box with cash in it at home along with a disaster bag. Pay off credit cards and put cards in the safe deposit box. Keep the accounts open if needed for an emergency.
I always stop and say hello because SM
He's always reluctant to interrupt me, so I take the time to stop and say hello. :) I would say TRY not to get upset and just try it his way for a while.
just stop
you are SOOOOOOO catering to her, and i was glad to read you express that with your comment about the norman rockwell picture. yep, that is exactly what she is doing. It's ALL ABOUT THE WRAPPING and you and sibs are either paper or ribbon, whatever suits her whim. Either way, you are it's all about what you REPRESENT .... but her her eyes, it not -- repeat, not -- about YOU. wrap your mind around that thought and just decide you are not going to be one of the props she uses to stage her house for others -- the friends she invites to impress, via YOU! i know that deep down, you know this. so, just say no thanks, DO NOT give a reason, DO NOT give an explanation, just say you have other plans and let her wonder. be the man that you are. don't be a wuss. Enjoy!
STOP...STOP....STOP...trying to keep up
You cannot compare yourself to the people on this board. Do you mean you have only been doing transcription for eight months? If so, you're doing fine!! Eight months is not a lot of time. The speed with come with the experience. Just keep at it and use those auto keys! Give yourself another eight months, and you will be getting a little faster!! Good luck and let us know how you're doing in eight months!! :)
LOL, please stop
I think you should stop now. You s/m
obviously know nothing about how we are paid and how a 20-blank report can hold up our production. And most of us are paid less than an MT is making.
one way to stop it, is to let the sm
answering machine or voice mail pick up the call. Lots of folks do that. If you have caller ID especially, you don't have to deal with it. If they can't reach you, they can't ask you.
stop trashing
I get sick and tired of trashing companies. makes me sick. Did you do a good job for the company, did you meet your line requirements, did you have accuracy. Ask yourself those questions!
Stop teasing now.
Did you stop to think (for all upset with MQ):
that the letter was addressed to "MedQuist Transcriptionist", meaning ALL transcriptionists?
Did you stop to think about the fact that the new plan is a "Medical Transcriptionist and Medical Editor Rewards Plan", meaning ALL transcriptionists?
Did you stop to think about the fact that the letter is an announcement of upcoming information and specifically says "highlights of the plan include..." and so does not give all the details so you cannot draw any conclusions about it?
Did you stop to think that the pay rates, daily incentive, evening/night premium pay highlights in the letter are NOT defined as EMPLOYEE ONLY highlights?
Did you stop to think that there is no way in hell that someone like you can ever be satisfied by any company? That no matter what MQ or any other company does, you'll have a reason to b****? Did you stop to think that if you're so dang upset about being with MQ that you are not a prisoner there? Did you stop to think that there are other companies doing MT that you can work for? Did you stop to think that there are millions of other lines of work you can get into?
Did you stop to think, period? Obviously not. All you did was stop to gripe.
You're probably one of the gripes who are upset because they received a DEP discrepancy check! LOL
It doesn't matter if, after taxes, it is 1 cent or $1000, it doesn't matter if you still work for them or don't, it doesn't matter how long you worked for them or didn't ... if a discrepancy in pay is found THEY MUST CORRECT THAT and that is what they have done. No matter what, you're gonna gripe. If they owed you 2 cents, you'd gripe. If they pay you the 2 cents, you gripe. If they don't make changes in how things are run, you gripe. If they make changes, you gripe.
For cryin' outloud people...get the hell out if you're THAT suspicious and burned out! GET OUT! Who wants you anyway? It's embarassing how you people carry on. Are you grown ups or not? Can't you think for yourself? Do you make your own decisions or does someone else make them for you?
If this company is as bad and hateful and MT-hating as you say, well then you can pat yourself on the back because YOU have outdone MQ on the hatefulness and badness. Good job, kiddies! Good job!! Now you're officially as hateful as the company you're whining about! LOLOLOLOL
SHIP OUT OR SHUT UP.
Stop shouting, please.

stop looking in the mirror already
Nice mole!
stop labeling
Alcohol does NOT impair everyone. Every BODY handles liquor differently. Believe me, I know this for a fact. I can nurse a whiskey sour over an hour and be cold sober when I'm done. To the point I'm driving a car on the interstate, some idiot cuts me off, and I hit that brake on a dime. Believe me, I'm cold sober. You have to hear the flurry of words coming from my mouth (when I'm "under the influence" I love and forgive everybody).
Some can handle alcohol more than others. But, just because you have a "warm glow" or get a little giggly does not mean you can't do your desk job, and that includes MT. Maybe you can't, but I know for a fact that it can be done. I've seen the proof, right down to the last comma. And I'm not talking about SOAP notes. I'm talking about complex operative reports.
And to tell you the truth. I would feel more confident having somebody throw back a couple of drinks while at their desk doing MT than someone who has kids at their home who are misbehaving. Nobody should work under those conditions. I know I can't.
And don't confuse DRINKING with drinking. People who drink wine (the original poster) tend to sip it. It could take 1/2 to 1 hour to finish the entire glass. Plus, the alcohol content in wine does not compare to the alcohol content in, say, rum & coke or a whiskey sour. --- And if you want to get right down to it, if you drink a cup of regular coffee you're also under the influence of "a drug." It's called caffeine. Another drug ... sugar. Just give it to a hyperactive kid and watch what happens.
In the final analysis, we all have to accept or not accept what we are most comfortable with. I accept the finished product (the report), not what they did during the course of transcription.
If you can stop laughing for a sec...
Where are these "places where typing pays decent$$$" and "there are tons and tons of men," please? I've been in the working world for over 40 years and no matter what the job, men are going to be paid more, even if they are just standing the "Slow" sign on road construction. The only exceptions I know of are jobs where equity is demanded by law - such as state government and big corporations that are affected by the federal wage and labor laws.
Part of the reason are men paid more is because they think they deserve it and will not accept the same kind of treatment most women will take for the sake of a job. Also, men are more likely to be put into management and supervisor positions, despite their education and experience. It happens in nursing, customer service, any job that is predominantly female. There are probably a lot of reasons for that and I won't even go there.
The Comedy Stop !!
There's some funny stuff over there. It's good to have a comedic break now and then.
Pediatrician - what age to stop
I'm typing reports for 20-year-olds who are being hospitalized in Pediatrics and seen by pediatricians. Some of these patients are already parents themselves. I don't think I would want my 7-year-old in the same room as a 20-year-old with a baby of her own.
At any rate, does anyone know the age nowadays when pediatricians sent their pts to adult care providers? It used to at age 15 or 16, but that was eons ago.
Thanks! I'm just curious.
Did you ever stop to think that the reason you see...
some companies consistently looking for more MTs is because those companies are growing, taking on many new accounts and need more MTs?????
I totally agree with the other posters who have answered you thus far . . . do your own homework. There are many great companies *out there* and some that are not so great. Spend some time researching. Why should any of us invest time doing it for you if you aren't willing to put forth a bit of effort yourself!!?
Start/Stop
I had to buy this for a job but ended up loving it and even used it for a different job (a fairly large national) where they had their own wav player that was clunky and full of bugs and given to locking up. I was able to use the USB pedal I already had, so I didn't have to buy theirs, but they actually send you a CD and a booklet, so I believe you can install it as much as needed.
The feature I like is that you can program a pedal to insert a blank and a time code, which makes reviewing blanks ever so much easier.
There IS something we can do: stop accepting
.
she was probably saying "full stop"
this is said a lot in overseas countries instead of "period"- it means the same thing tho
I can hit Esc or use Ctrl/X, too, to stop it. nm
s
Unfortunately no key function to stop it. sm
How about making one pt that changes to capital PT and one ptx that expands to prothrombin time? Another example, have chf change to capital CHF and chfx to expand out to congestive heart failure. I just started ExText myself and that's what I'm going to be doing. I saw another poster does the exact opposite with the X so not meant to confuse!
start stop
try going to configure and uncheck variable speed it will play but you cant chnge speed
or try associate files with start stop under configure and check them all
stop yelling, please
/
sorry, that is just stop listening to them
