spent hours and hours correcting the same mistakes over and over again or you wouldn't even ask. I thought her post was right on the money.

Good Lord!
The original poster asked a question that only a person who has done at least 2 reports with lab data would know what they were saying! COME ON! If she took the time and necessary brain matter to realize that the 41 was a test result and separated it from the rest of the phrase, she might have gotten it. Obviously, either this is a person has not had any training (if she did, she would have come across amylase and lipase a million times, they are so common) or she is just not cut out for being an MT. Just my opinion but then again, I've been in the business 25 years, what do I know!
MQ board good lord
i need to go back to bed!!!!!!!!
good lord but how in the world do you do 300 lph???

$2000 for food???? Good Lord (sm)
I guess Weight Watchers is the way to go. I've been successful with WW in the past, but gained it back. I guess it's time to go back. I feel like the prodigal daughter. 
Good Lord! Is all this back-biting really necessary?
admin. where are you now? Sheesh!
Whaaaa....tttt? Good Lord is right! nm
.....
I can't believe this. I just quit a good company and went BACK to MQ and now this? Oh, Lord! nm

Good lord, enough! We get it, you love DocShuttle. How bout other options?

read the whole post - good lord- you act like I am telling you to work for free--
The fact is "YOU ARE NOT TYPING THE LINE" So why get paid to type that line?
I merely suggested hourly pay. Good Grief!! If you people didn't have something to argue about, I think you would all go bananas.
LOL! Well, good! I've done ONE good thing today, then. NM

Good for you...I've been there!
I was an IC for over 20 years. I was fortunate in one way, I lived in a small rural town with quite a scarcity of qualified MTs. Anyway, the third account I took on was a solo FP who told me upon receipt of his first bill (and having signed a contract agreeing to the rates) that he really couldn't justify paying that to someone "who isn't a professional." This is the same guy who sent me a ticked-off note because he didn't like the font I was using. Needless to say, I wished him the best of luck finding a replacement and I shut the door on that one quickly. Glad I did. I had to decide what my bottom line was and stick to it, and over the years it has only paid off to do that. Though I will admit it can feel scary to pull the plug on a paycheck!
Best of luck to you!
Thanks! I think I've now got a good idea how it all
ended. I thought it was one of the best episodes of this show that I've seen.
I've been in it 23 yr and not good prospects...
As is my personal experience, my pay is going down every year... harder to find good smaller services, they have gotten gobbled up by the biggies, and the biggies just view us as number to crank out reports that they want to make more and more money as in profits for the company, and will resort to cheating, as in MQ et al. That is my view, I say get out while you still have use of your fingers and wrists :)
Good for you. You've got class.
That is a lesson you're passing on to your kids. I don't blame you for being upset, but you should be pround of yourself for not asking for a handout. 
You are right. I've always said I'm just in a good spot. sm
I hope I have never acted like anybody wasn't good enough. I sure didn't mean to.
Just realized how good I've got it.
The company I work for pays for headers and footers, which total 13 lines per report. Given my line rate, I make the "per report" rate before I ever start typing! So everything I transcribe is gravy above and beyond. Sweeeeet.
I love my job.
I've been to several pig roast, very good! - sm
As for how to do it, that is if you go the pig route, make sure it is a pig roaster (huge) and have some one who knows what they are doing cook it. It takes quite a long time to cook 12+ hours or more, cannot remember if they started it the night before or not (our old neighborhood had one every year). Or if you don't want the trouble just say you are having a big cookout, go with corn on the cob, hamburgers, hot dogs, macaroni salad, potato salad, etc. Obvious have everyone bring a dish if possible. If you know any with Sirius or the other satelite radio you can get some great music. We did both records/CDs and a live band at our pig roast and the annual crab feast. Yum! Had a lot of fun when we lived there.
We've had good luck with
Compaq notebooks. The one we have really has been tortured, but still works, although we've not had good luck with their desktops.
The other laptop we've had was a Toshiba satellite. Loved the keyboard and the screen, but nothing but trouble from the start. It had a severe overheating issue, and I've talked to a couple other people who had the same problem. That was a couple years ago, though, so they might have resolved that by now.
Good job! I'd've never figured that out.
probably be easier to put a password on the computer so he (or anyone else) can't even turn it on. Actually, I have no idea if it would be easier since I've never done this myself (my husband gets that my computer = $$$, so he is well controlled in that regard).
Now, RG, you know we've got darned good reasons...
to be crying in our soup over there.
It's good enough to do the job. I've got a Celeron and have no problems.
If you want to see benchmark test results, Google for benchmark Centrino Pentium Celeron. Honestly, the naked human eye can't detect much of a difference. It's not like we're comparing 386SX/33 processors to Pentium 4/3.06 GHz. Nothing like a little processor snobbery to justify spending more money.

Very good question! I've always wondered that myself. nm
s
you've got good reasons to vent
Sounds like you and Patti are great people to work for and I'm sorry you both are having to deal with this. You sound like you are giving it all you've got and are still getting stung. I hear the same from the place I work for. It just seems a lot more people are more irresponsible and unprofessional than they were when I was raised back in the 50/60s. If you're anywhere near my age, I bet it seems like a different world to you too. I don't think it's just an MT problem -- I think it is widespread through all fields but unfortunately, in our profession we are confronted with it on a daily basis and it has to be resolved.
Although I am not a MTSO, I do overflow work from those who had other things to do and put the job second or hire on and then quit and I get their work and my own until they find someone else to hire and hope they stay. I'm not that great myself by any means but I do get exasperated with the weak links who just don't care and do what you complain of in your first post. It makes us all look bad.
As an MTSO you are stuck between the doc and the MT. Doesn't sound like a nice place to be these days. You have my sympathies and hopes that the new year will bring you and Patti and everyone else in this predicatment better MTs.
Oh, Lord
And if you read it on the internet, it must be true, right?
Oh, lord, so did I! LOL! NM

Oh Lord!
:(
Oh Lord!
That's the problem with MTg with a lot of newbies. They never bother to employ a medical spell check that will underline mispelled words as they go! This word is BASIC. You should have learned how to spell it correctly the first week in MT school, or did you NOT get schooling and just "learned on your own" or "learn as I go?"
I thank the Lord every day
I do thank the Lord every day. I love my accounts, where else can I make $4500 to 5000 a month and work at home. They provide me the income to live where I want to live - watch the sun come up over the river every morning. I am so thankful that I have what I have. My accounts do not bore me, I like my doctors, the office staff are my friends -- we share good times, bad times. I would not go back into an office again for all the money in the world. I do thank the Lord every day with my first cup of coffee because I am grateful for this.
I've been using it a few years now. It's pretty good. You'll get used to it. -nm

It's great you've got a good system; I'm happy for you! nm

There's MDI in Maryland and Florida. I've heard good about both.

Lord, I hope she's not an MT sm
 talk about giving us a bad name! sheesh!
Wow! You know your Lord of the Rings! nm

Praise the Lord!
 Jesus!
Finally! Thank you Lord.
It's about time all of you whiners left MedQuist. I have had enough of you complainers. It is just more work for me now! Yeah!!!! Did any of you ever think that it is time to retire? If you can't understand DocQscribe, which is so basic, I love it, you probably shouldn't be a Transcriptionist anymore. I think that is why so many of you can't get your lines up because you don't know what you are doing in the program. Anyway, thank you lord that you all are leaving. It is about time you quit complaining and do something for once in your lives.
In regard to OH LORD
Per administrator you need to show some kindness to the new MTs. I doubt you yourself were so wonderful when you first started out. Try to remember we are all HUMAN and we all error at some point in our lives.
please don't take the Lord's name in vain....sm
if you kill unnecessarily, don't say GOOD LORD.......you think KILL first before RESCUE....and yes, do some research, snakes have feelings of fear and pleasure and feel with their tongues.
idiot.....probably a D.C./repub supporter too, kill first, ask questions later.....
just our way of not taking the Lord's...sm
A way of not taking the Lord's name in vain.........My religious studies raised us this way. It's done merely out of respect.
Hope that answers your question. 
Oh my Lord, I could have written
Thank you for putting this into words that I've been thinking all along. Phewee on QA. QA is for weaklings. Learn to swim or get out of the lake!!!! 
Oh Lord, I'd be depressed again too! :D nm

Good point. I've never done the Cobra because it was outrageous. I also did what you call a "b
overlapsed. I liked a cheap individual policy up ($7500 deducticle) before I lost my coverage..and kept the cheap policy until the new kicked in..

The me again post was in reply to Oh Lord (sm)
I learned probably before you were born, and believe me, it was a lot harder then. I've learned much over the years. Another point I would like to make in regard to Fahrenheit. If there was no spell check, and no one ever told you that you were spelling it wrong, how would you know? That's why it drives me crazy when I see words like "definitely" spelled definately, "misspelled", spelled mispelled, and "there, their, and they're" mixed up. People get mad when you correct them, but truly, they should know these words, and they should be happy to learn as long as it is not in a nasty way. I had an argument one time with my son's first grade teacher. She had them copy off the blackboard, something about daffodils, and it said something about "they're little petticoats." I went berserk. This was someone teaching MY CHILD the difference between the 3 "there, their, they're" words.
"In the year of our Lord..."
Yeah, had a doc who dictated like THAT...'In this, the year of our Lord, Two-Thousand and Eight,' and demanded it be typed out like that. He had some other really bizarre, idiosyncratic stuff too, such as references to previous presidents (which I could remember the context in which he used those references).
I used to despise typing his reports, but I really felt bad for the poor referring physicians trying to read through all his eccentric extraneous babbling to get to what was wrong with the patient.
Some of these docs are just...WEIRD.
Lord love a duck! sm
You be on a real roll! No need to diss everybody, it just gets you nowhere on your way to no place. :D
Dang Lucy's got a good idea. Now why didn't I think of that because I've been experiencing
Wow, are you feeling better now? Need to justify or over-compensate? Lord.......nm

Lord forgive me for saying this, but at the start of this, they interviewed her roommates on CNN, I
think. Maybe Fox. At any rate, the girls were rather "smug" about it all, said that Natalee was quite taken with this Dutch kid and had basically "dumped" her friends the last 2 days to hang all over this guy. When they were asked what was "so special" about him, they said that Natalee was quite flattered that he was paying attention to her, as he was considered the "#1 Catch On the Island"...So, that certainly explains why her friends weren't "covering her back". She had ditched them more or less to be with Romeo. Happened to me a lot in the "old bar hopping days" with my girlfriends. One would hook up with some total stranger, and just dump the rest of us "singles" for the night. Luckily, they all lived, though we did have a scary encounter now and again, this being in Southern Florida.
