You are too funny with the MEN CHEAT post. I had to call my
He's working out of state (isn't that just handy?). He was NOT amused because, of course, HE CHEATS! I am not 100% certain, but he's a lying, dishonest, deceitful person whom I have no trust in whatsoever. He REALLY didn't like your solution to the problem...hee, hee. I DID! It does hurt, though, no matter what. MEN DO NOT HAVE TO CHEAT--it is a CHOICE. I don't trust any of them anymore.
People know not to call me
on Monday nights. Can't miss a minute of it. I think it's best show also. Poor Edgar!
Funny, but..if you read a lot or know people...sm
The EX-smokers get cancer...AFTER they quit. Never an issue while they smoke...only after stopping for a few years. EVERY person I know who QUIT had cancer. But then again, we are all predisposed to cancer, it is in our genes. They just do not know the exact triggering factor...just ideas on what it is and things you can avoid to reduce your risk, but again, this does not ensure you will not have some type of cancer. Working 12-14 hours a day...gee, one bad habit, better than drinking and not being able to work. LOL
It's funny how people have different experiences (sm)
Three of the best doctors I ever got to transcribe were podiatrists. We did clinic notes for one and did the op notes at a small freestanding surgical center for the other two. They were all great, lots of repetition, clear, lots of lines. Those were the days....
I'm not defensive at all. I think people who call
others fools because they can't appreciate humor or don't like their views are the people who are missing the point and can't see anything but their sorry situation. When you sit in judgement of others from your high horse of course you can't find humor or anything else. Really get over yourself or crawl back into your imagination where you are queen.
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.
ANY MQ SE PEOPLE GET THE PHONE CALL YET?
What is this all about?
Here we go again. You call other people liars because YOU can't do
what we do? That is just not very nice. Think about what you've said!
I do acute care. I wouldn't touch clinic work with a 10-foot pole, because I'd starve. Operative notes only, but for four hospitals in one state and one hospital in another state. I don't usually check my line count every day but I can tell you that I do 150 minutes in 5 hours just nearly every day. Rarely do I work longer than that.
Please be nicer to people who have come here offering to help you. I'm not selling anything and I never was sure the OP was, but every time this subject comes up, people come and try to help, only to be called liars and scoffed at.
I hope I don't get myself banned from the board for this, because I'm telling the truth.
No I don't call people from the internet...sm
Never really thought about it.
this is too funny when you're probably talking to people
who have a lot more weight to lose than you must have and will probably NEVER see the size 8 that you started at. only a dream for me, that's for sure!
LOLOLOLOL.. you people are a riot... too funny.. nm

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.
call credit card people immediately
and dispute charge (the back of your bill should give you the procedure on this) WRITE down everything you have done for the record. Yes, you absolutely must contact someone who knows something at hotel.com and be sure you contact the Atty General of your state and the state where hotel.com is headquartered, not to mention the BBB. Hotel.com has just got a load of bad publicity - don't forget to point that out to them. They also need to reimburse you for any charges incurred.
Be sure to keep a paper trail...emails will work. Good luck to you.
People may call repetition of this thread 'boring', but - sm
I think it needs to be repeated over and over again to anyone who will read and/or listen, in order for this truth to finally sink in. Many of us seem to have been brainwashed by the industry's rhetoric about a 'global economy' (i.e., lowering of living standards in the US?), and 'that's just how things are, now - get used to it.') I think the future of MT as a US industry, as opposed to a purely offshore, sweatshop industry, depends on this message getting out there.
I totally agree...how old are we to call other people stupid???
Give me a break...we do not go to school for countless number of years and just because we have to correct a doctor's spelling on certain things, doesn't mean we are smarter than they are...give me a break...if you were expecting to making 75,000 in this field you made the wrong career decision...how about a little bit of respect for a fellow MT...
oh sorry grammar police...but you did call people stupid..
that was not taken out of context
Same people who properly call the bird African GREY
.
Funny how people are different. I find islands/beaches to be totally boring.

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.
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.

You're funny. Ignorant, but funny.
I don't live in NYC and I don't work out of NYC and I make wayyyyy more than $23 an hour, SandyGIRL.
I'm an employee at the largest national and I make anywhere from $58K to $64K a year.
You don't have to believe anyone but you show your ignorance by telling those of us who make that money that we're full of it.
Hahaha
Sorry, that was not an ASR funny, just a regular ole dictation funny. LOL! nm

On-call requires on-call compensation by law
This field gets more disgustingly grotesque daily.
What a funny, funny reply. LOL
You are a genius! I am sorry you are ugly and fat. I feel bad for you, but what I can I do to help? Go to a plastic surgeon.
now that's funny, true, but very funny
Anal Association of Medical Treachery.
Call me, call me anytime.
I'm waiting to hear back on a job. Call me!
Call KS and call your bank. Why ask here?
.
If they don't call you within 15 minutes, you should call them. There
is no excuse for leaving you sitting by a phone all day. At the very least, an e-mail explaining why the delay. If this is the way they train, how do they pay. Do you really want to work for a company who thinks so little of your time?
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

Certain people getting raises, certain people not. Guess who is?
Say what you will about unions, the good and the bad. But, one thing they did ensure is a raise, good benefits and that you would have a job in the morning.
Yeah right, OF COURSE! How could there be other people who don't like QA people?
Could only be one. Hahaha. Dream on.
I agree, some people will never get it but, then again, what does it say about them as people? Not
.
So funny!

LOL!! That is funny. nm

too funny
 girlyman hater, I think you are trolling us here.
the country singer type I have no idea about, but a smart humble guy... science is a plus... bein' good lookin' can't hurt, but I dont want a sweaty singin' cowboy. 
*just kidding, but this is how you sound.
funny
When I first started I thought I heard "bologna amputation" instead of below-knee amputation.
thats funny
That is funny, you are right!! Daycares are better than boarding schools.  And I also agree that not everyone is cut out to be a stay at home mom. On the other hand, not everyone is cut out to be a daycare provider and that is what the good parents have to worry about.
OH HOW FUNNY
Thank you for the best laugh I have had all week!!!!!! I am cracking up!!!!!!
SO FUNNY
I don't even work for MQ. you think only some people can use BIG LETTERS in their posts? CRACK ME UP! I am just another MT who is TIRED of hearing all the constant complaining. THANKS
That's funny! THank you!!
.
Now that's funny!
ROTFLMAO. Hope my husband doesn't catch me.
Way too funny! I had one doc that said:
Patient states, "I feel like s--t!" I called my boss and said "I'm sorry, I cant type that in there."
I used to work for an old cranky country doc that actually dictated the chief complaint as: "Doc my b--ls are killing me." I told him when I turned in the completed report that I had changed the chief complaint to: Patient complains of testicular pain. He just laughed and said, "That's why I hired ya!"
oh, funny!!!

Those, too! What's really funny is when
you confront an MT who is putting exactly 200 extra spaces at the end of each and every report and they are just DUMBFOUNDED that they are there. They have no clue as to how they could be getting there. So it stops. Then, before you know it, they are there again. Sorry, but they aren't magically putting themselves there. It's a macro, sweetums, and you're happy to be messing with "the man." Typically the same people will do it at the end of paragraphs, too, but of course with fewer spaces. Most of the time no one can see it, no one would think to look for it, but they're there.
The company I worked with called it "creating margin," aka the MT getting more money and happily shafting the facility that gets the transcription bill. Were the MTs told to not do that? Nope. They were not. Shame on the MT, and shame on the MTSOs who condone this behavior.
funny
Last year I made 56,000. This year I stand to make slightly more. I have my own accounts and am self-employed. Also, I do quite a bit of pathology transcription locally. I have done rad also in my time. I am getting ready to get my CMT. You don't have to go to school for this. As a matter of fact, many that do go to school know less than I do, as a lot of schools don't teach what they should these days. It is just a basic fact. Whether you go to school or not doesn't make you a good MT. It is your work ethic and level of committment and actual experience on the job.
Also, you sound so immature in your posts like you are really mad because someone can be successful at MT w/o going to school. How silly is that?
