    US MTs can be prosecuted ...

    ... citizens of foreign nations are not beholden to the laws of the USA.


    That is the difference.


    what state does she live in? Was she prosecuted and sent to prison or just held in jail?
    aa
    I'm shocked as well ... here's where ...
    Look at the recipe thread here on page 1 of the Main Forum.

    Open the post by "Just Observing".

    There are ads displayed on the right, down the page where the "latest" posts are listed.

    One of them is for BPO Experts. It is an ad for Indian offshoring of MT, coding, different types of HIM work.

    I am quite shocked myself to see this ad on this website.

    I am shocked
    I still can't believe it. I did a search for MT companies and came upon Zydoc. Searched here but found only one person asking a question. Started filling out the form on their website and got to the last page and it asked me to enter my CC info!!!
    I was shocked!
    Ace really deserved to go home last night. I can't even believe that it was Bucky.
    I am shocked!
    What a jerk that doctor was! I am sorry you got in trouble for that, but I am sure you flagged it and did not just send it in as a final.

    You go, girl!
    I was so shocked!
    I could not believe it when I read what was on this web site.

    I am shocked that.....
    companies even use PayPal to pay.  PayPal is not a very legitimate company and is KNOW for freezing funds, over-charging fees, etc.  Years ago, Paypal decided to freeze $3,000 that I had in an account to "investigate" it, although it was clearly shown where the money came from.  It took me a year to get my money back.  I found out that they do this sometimes to invest different monies I guess.  Crazy company, I wouldn't use them!
    I was shocked too. Are there that many pedophiles?
    a
    You're welcome. I was shocked at some of it too. You know, there are
    in stores and bakeries now too!!!!  Lots more opportunities to be sitting in a danger zone in case you happen to be called in to be tested out of the blue and there you stand with you teeth in your mouth (and a few muffin crumbs on your blouse)...failing a drug screen.. yikes.
    Yes, shocked here, too. As my 3 teens have
    pointed out, dear Cat is sure strutting her you-know-whats. Yuck. Chris was absolutely stunned, and so were a lot of viewers. We're not even gonna bother - the remaining 3 are nice enough, but talented enough? No way!!
    Very true...I was shocked as well
    at least we can take comfort in knowing that SOMEONE will give him a recording contract.
    I am shocked you would even question. sm
    Your job is to transcribe the dictation.  It is not your report - it belongs to who signs it.  And unless you cannot understand a phrase or word - you blank it.  Sounds like that was a clear sentence.  Shaking my head. 
    The more I read, the more shocked I am
    Your pharmacy cannot tell your husband your prescription is ready. Where does this madness end? People on here are paranoid, the whole world seems like going in the same direction. You cannot call someone's name in a physician's office, your next of kin cannot be told your prescription is ready- on and on and on. All this political correctness is just a bunch of bunk. I could use a lot more words to describe but not allowed to do so here.
    I am shocked at how some people responded to this.....
    Everyone has their bad days....that doesn't mean you throw your marriage away and decide you are better off w/o them. I know where you're coming from having a husband of my own that some days I could just kill but most days I love him to death and don't know what I would do w/o him. Don't pay these people any attention or let them get you down. Vent when you need to...
    I for one was shocked at the line rate
    When I first started out.  They start some at 5 cpl, are you kidding me?  10 years ago I started at 0.0775 cpl.  How can they do this and get away with it?  Why are people signing up to do this?
    I'm shocked. Sherrie come on out and talk to us
    Dont you owe us that much?? We have supported this site for years.. Talk to us.
    I wouldn't trust this at all! I'm shocked you do!
    Talk about inviting trouble in the door!

    Unfortunately it is legal..so yes it is business and they will continue with bad business practices
    x
    I am shocked too! And the way that Ryan Seacrest just blurted it out...sm
    I did not like that one bit!  That was so mean how he told him he was the one going home!  It was a shocker, but he will be one getting a contract sometime in the near future.  I hope Taylor wins!  I will for sure be keeping my phone lines busy next time - just goes to show that you better be calling and voting for the one you like most.  Never would have thought Chris would have gotten voted off tonight....
    Who's laughing? I'm just shocked that you take offense to the person who is correcting
    YOUR mistakes, rather than the morons who are making these ridiculous errors, making the MT profession look silly.  These mistakes should not have been made.  I'm embarrassed for you my dear, not laughing at you. 
    I agree. I was shocked too. Laurie seems irritated; thought a little
    mothering might help calm her down.

    I'm raising my children alone. I know how it is.
    I believe the original poster is the one doing the scoring, and she is SHOCKED at how low the score
    is for the MT, and she doesn't even know what to say to the MT under comments. I can certainly relate - lately, its abysmal in my company.  How, oh how, do these MTs get hired?  To me, that is the BIGGEST mystery. 
    I received an invitation to a baby shower that shocked me....sm

    It was for a friend having her second baby...already strange because I thought baby showers were only for the first baby, when you don't have any of the necessary items. The worst part, though, was that printed on the invitation was the ADMISSION PRICE to the party! It was a tea party at a tea room of some sort. It also was printed on the invitation what gift to bring! 


    I chose not to go to the party. I politely declined and gave an appropriate gift of my own choosing at a later date.


     


     


    SHUT UP!
    Get over yourself. 
    No. I have as much right to tell you to shut up and
    get out as you do me!

    No. You're just a lesion, a runny icky sore. A little sunshine will dry you right up! That's what you DON'T want -- something to heal up that oozing attitude of yours!

    MQ is digging it's way out and if that isn't good enough for you, get out.

    It's a real shame MQ cannot get the IP addresses of all the complainers and fire every single one of you without notice. Absolutely, that would be the best action they could ever take!!

    shut them down?
    do you think reporting them local news agencies that fight for consumers would help shut them down?
    Wow..I'm so shocked. I didnt know this happened. I know the clients pay the MTSO owners so why ca
    the MTs who do the work. Is this the same person. It sounds like she is a nice person but nice does not pay the bills. Anyone care to give initials of the company as I have been looking for a IC job and obviously with these people having a huge turnover due to nonpayment, I do not want to fall into that trap. How awful!!!
    Hi, yes I did explain above. Really shocked by that post who thinks I'm a company...ahahah
    NO bad intentions whatsoever. Shoot me for copy and pasting....too lazy to reype.

    That's just really funny.
    I made my business your business by posting and...
    I totally respect everyone's opinions. It is easier for others on the outside looking in. That's why I pushed the "post reply" button yesterday. I trust my fellow MTs and I know the more I read from you all, the more confident I am becoming. I just need that final push, not from him though. I also wanted to let you all know that the physical abuse while I was pregnant was documented by my doctor and the hospital. I only wish I had known then that it is a felony to abuse a pregnant woman. I also photographed my face from a couple of weeks ago and told several people in my circle. I had such high hopes for us. Now...not so much. I'm not saying that I won't try to get him to church, but I realize that God can only do so much for someone who isn't listening. j
    Business is business. Internet forums are
    .
    You are a fool..so shut up
    Why do I work two jobs?  Do you have the need to know?  Because I like to live well and have money in my pocket.  Why dont you work two jobs?  Because you are the lazy one and most likely no other trans company would hire you except MQ, who it is well known will hire newbies and transcriptionists that other companies would not give their 2 cents to.
    Here they can't shut off your gas if the temperature

    kidneys shut down
    Changes are that he is not even aware of what is going on and is semi-comatose or full coma.  Hopefully, the hospital will keep him comfortable.  My father-in-law went so fast that the nursing home couldn't give him enough morphine to keep him comfortable (even though he was basically not awake we could tell he was experiencing discomfort), they legally couldn't dispense enough and it was evening.  They were going to call Hospice in the morning but he passed away before that could be done.  Hopefully, the hospital will have the ability to keep this man comfortable.
    I shut down every night--sm
    for two reasons. Not the electricity, but the fact that if you are always running, you leave yourself more open to someone trying to compromise your computer. the second reason is that even though you may be set to receive updates on antivirus, etc. sometimes those updates need you to reboot in order for them to take effect. in fact, most of them do. If you are always running, your updates are never taking effect. The minor mini-surges at start up do NOT put wear and tear on your computer. they were DESIGNED for shut down and restart. geez. better get new techies!
    I know, I know, I had one eyeball shut and
    One eyeball open and my fingers were sore from typing.  Too late to catch, but he won't read it anyway.  Just was venting.  I would laugh if he would call me and say the same thing.  But I know he won't.  Thanks anyway.
    She just threw that out there to shut us up, I think
    She posts here quite frequently, mostly to whine about her husband, stepson, MIL,and everything else. I don't believe she's really an intentional troll at all, just a complete moron who was trying to dig her way out of the sh*tstorm she started with this gem of a post.
    Yes, it is SHUT UP or APOLOGIZE!...nm
    nm
    so its okay for you to be unappreciated, to just keep mouth shut
    I also do my work and then some, but why not a little respect back that I give?  I can't believe it doesnt bother you.  Look at your tone on this board, you seem like the kind of person who would be bothered by it. 
    meant mouth SHUT
    /
    EXACTLY! Shut up & check out the classifieds.
    waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
    shut up or put up - your choice - you cannot control them, only yourself
    nm
    ok, I'll keep my mouth shut!! ;) Thanks! nm

    Do you shut your puter down overnight?
    Just curious how many shut completely down at the end of your work day or overnight? Why or why not?
    Your computer gets sluggish if you shut it down? NM

    auto text has shut off
    i was deleting some entries in my auto text and now when i am typing, they aren't coming on...i must have shut them off and i can't figure out to turn it on again.
    Do you think Company Board should be shut
    x
    They've forced many of our ERs to shut down
    a regular doctor's office. So the few that are left are full to bursting. Once when I had a medical emergency, the ambulance couldn't take me to the closest ER because they had no room, instead we drove FOREVER to a far-away hospital, and still I had to wait a long time out in the hallway. Right now I would say 80% of the people being treated on the account I type for are Mexican and don't speak English. So the hospital has to pay for full-time, professional translators to accompany these people at office visits. And it's no surprise that a large number of them came here illegally.
    Shut the h*** up. I make $75K a year doing this with BIG nationals.
    I get full benefits. I'm not gutless in any way and I'm NOT having my "rights" taken away from me.

    They're not doing anything to me I don't want them to do.

    If that's YOUR situation, then make that STUPID statement about your own idiot self.

    I'm doing just fine financially, Granny. I doubt YOU make the money I do. Not many do, they're not willing to sit their butts down and actually WORK for more than a few minutes at a time without running here and complain to all the other 'children' about 'school'.

    I don't take s*** off anyone, not individuals and certainly not places I work -- there are too many of them out there to work for and if I don't want to do that, I can work for myself.

    I kinda like the fact that I bring home more than THREE times what it takes for me to live, AND have insurance, AND a TSA, AND choose my work schedule.
    Gotta shut the door and zone out and get it done

    Been there, still go there sometimes.  It took me a long time to just focus on the work, because at first I thought, "This is so coooool!  I don't have to actually go to work.  I think I'll go make brownies and come back to it later."  WRONG!


    Had to make myself a schedule, as the kids were getting packaged brownies and the dishes were never done.  It's tough at the beginning to and when I started a year ago nobody was home.  Then school got out and I realized I had forgotten to factor in the summer part, which was a nightmare!  "Mama! You're not WORKING, ARE YOU?"  Ended up starting at 4:00 a.m. and then working again after everyone was settled in bed.


    Now I'm back on schedule. Good luck.


    PS--one more thing and then I'll shut my mouff!
    Someone said something about not allowing this poor dog to get the exercise he needs out doors.  My dog gets PLENTY of exercise.  He is not overweight, and we play with him every single night of the world--he's a big part of our lives.  He chases balls and toys and we play probably at least 30 minutes to an hour every night of the world, so a dog (particularly a small one like this) does not have to go outside to get any exercise.  Thanks for listening/understanding.
