In Reply to: rudeness on board - MTness
where the reactions were that it was rude and those reactions were indeed rude. I think that on the internet without the benefit of seeing a person's body language, people misconstrue what a poster's intent is and go down a line of thinking that wasn't intended. I tend to think everyone, at some time, contributes to the rudeness and by far this site is much less harsh than others.

Pointing out minor errors is not amusing. It is simply rude.

Thanks to all of your responses. You've been a great help!

Rates have simply gone up. We've spent over 500 since Sept. on propane.

You will run across some pretty rude people around here as you've seen...(sm)
but not everyone is like the one above. Welcome. I don't have any of my own clients, but the service I work for recently lost the account I worked on pretty much out of the blue. It's a real shock to have the work yanked from you like that, and I agree it was pretty cowardly for the wife not to just come out and admit when you directly asked. I don't know what to tell you but just wanted you to know that you can expect some real nastiness around here at times, but don't let it keep you away.
I use EXText with my current job and I've used at a couple of other jobs I've had. I've ne
used DocQscribe, but I have used Meditech, Cerner, Vianeta, the Precyse platform (I can't remember the name), Dolbey, and Lanier platform I think was called Cequence (?).
Out of all the different platforms I have typed on, I have liked EXText the best. In my opinion, it's very user friendly, easy to learn, and I really like ESP which is the built in abbreviation expander. Plus it is very easy to create your own normals which I love. My fingers literally never leave the keyboard because there are macro keys for everything. You can use your mouse if you prefer or learn the function macros. I love it. I think I'm more productive on EXText than with any other platform.
Simply put....
These are people's lives and people's health. I am NOT going to guess because their doctor doesn't give a crap and refuses to dictate clearly so lets his MT guess what he's trying to say and hopes she/he gets it right.
I swear, this group might as well have farted or belched it all out - it would probably have been understood better than they way they dictated it. And I'm not talking medical terminology either. I'm talking basic simple English words that they slur all to you know where that is imperative to each patient's record.
I know to some $$$$ is what counts. Call me an odd ball because to me, integrity and knowing you did an accurate job is what counts. I can't do an accurate job without the doctor's help when it comes to dictating clearly. It takes two in this business - the doctor and the MT -to get it right. So ask me if I miss them. 
and you are simply.............nm
I simply cannot believe this.
:(
S/B $0.10 pl or simply 10 cpl. NM

It seems to me that you could just simply
and then copy and paste it into the shell for Meditech. I hated Meditech as well. Yes, I did get used to it, but it is not MT friendly AT ALL!!!
If I would guess though, your Word would work well since the spellcheck is better. Try a small report, and see what happens.
Simply say
that you really did/do want more work, but this new account is just not worth your time the way it is set up (and give details).
There is no way a reasonable adult would not understand that. If they bark (or bite), it means they simply don't care about the people who work for them.
There is nothing rude about not working for wages that aren't worth your time.
No, I am simply asking if anyone else
has this problem with THEIR company? In other words, is this common, or not?!
I simply won't do it.
That makes the report too hard to read, thus more of a margin for errors. And I put in an extra space after periods on VR that have only one.
MedQuist is simply...
 The greatest medical transcription company on the planet.
There simply are no good
aa
I think that is simply fabulous
I am jewish, so I try to find a job that I am capable of doing and volunteer to work for them on Christmas Day
That was certainly not my intent. I simply...sm
wanted constructive input from others. I am thankful for the job I have but I believe it is human nature to try to do better and of course if I can make more money in less time I would feel I was doing better! I just needed opinions which so far have been helpful.
I simply believe in God and what he stands for..
I can't really say I am a Christian or any other particular faith. I know you have very strong convictions and I think it is wonderful, but isn't it funny how we follow and obey the bible in some instances and don't in others. The bible is a guide for us to live by. If we took it seriously, women would be in dresses, men would be working, women would not, women would have long hair, etc. Actually, Halloween is a religious day.. "The festival of Halloween is based on a combination of the Christian commemoration of the departed faithful (All Saints' Day) with the pre-Christian Celtic feast associated with a celebration of the end of summer and the Celtic New Year."
Simply assign the job # to yourself...
and then hit next job.
I simply said, let me know if it is abnormal.
Rather than that, she played a little game. Editing and e-mailing me my chest x-ray report. Geesh ladies.
Had I been asked, I would have simply put off responding until the person had the results from their physician. No big deal.
simply verbatim
Has anyone worked for this company? Just curious.
I was simply curious!
No more, no less! I don't care personally. I just think that HIPAA thing is so over-the-top that this one jumped out at me. I see why they have it, but sometimes it's a bit much. My sis is the CEO of a Hospice in Chicago, and says it's a nightmare for them, so it depends on which side of the issue one is on at the moment.
Which is simply overkill, IMO
I question that part of HIPAA regulations. If a person can't match the demographics to a report, what is the freaking big deal that its confidentially be protected? So what if anyone sees you're typing a report for "someone" with symptoms A, B, and C? Aren't there zillions of people with those symptoms worldwide? Unless you're in a teeny town typing reports for the ONLY hospital where it's possible only ONE person could have a report like that, its really crazy to think that the average layperson, even in they could understand WHAT they were reading in a report, could figure out from any given report WHO that report was for, or even what hospital in what part of the country. Without the demos, WHAT security is breached and HOW is it considered a security breach????
I'm also over having to have a zillion constantly-changing passwords so I can sit and type in my secure house! The amount of programs I have to use to type a single report are so complex and aggravating that unless someone came in here who works for the exact same company, nobody would have a clue how to go about bringing up a report and rooting through the demos. And who the heck would even WANT to?
I can see the need for HIPAA inhouse, where there are tons of people who know the system floating around, patients around looking and listening, and local people knowing stuff about other locals. But in the case of the remote, isolated MT, who will never meet a single doc, patient, or facility she types for, making us jump through HIPAA hoops is tiresome and pointless - especially since our Indian bretheren typing the same exact reports don't have to worry about it!
Simply ridiculous. There are many people here who
have entered viewpoints on certain subjects. It is an insult to MTStars for you to entertain the notion that only one person would post here with views different than what you would like to see. Get over yourself and have a nice day for a change.
Had over 20 days over 100 degrees here. Its simply
dd
I'm afraid I'm simply too loyal to MQ...
to put them in a bind like that. Shame on all y'all!
You simply did not listen or understand what was said,
so please continue your tirade. As a matter of fact, I have been published in PC Magazine for my knowledge. Thank you very much. It's not ego when it's fact.
I'm simply saying that all aren't making the
kind of money you think they are because they have a lot of expenses but that the ones who are should be making good money considering everything they have gone through to get to that point (all those years that they were going through medical school w/o making ANY money usually). If there wasn't a good payoff noone would go through it. That's just my opinion.
What?? I simply posted what happened to me.
:+
I'm not a dreamer. I'm simply a Christian
woman praying for her husband and believing that he will be changed.
I'm afraid ur simply jealous.
COBRA is simply an extension of your sm
prior insurance, and you pick up whatever the company was paying, and pay all costs. COBRA extends you current insurance when you lose your job, but YOU pay all of the charges, same insurance, though.
Some doctors simply do not care.....sm
I was talking to my mother's surgeon at one of her checkups about outsourcing, and he said their hospital outsources all the x-rays to Australia, because while we sleep, they are transcribing, and the work is back the next day for them. He just smirked and could care less this is taking jobs away from us. As long as it isn't taking his job, it means nothing to him. He's attitude really sickened me.
P.S. Caps above simply for emphasis ...
When I read over it again after the message posted the caps came off to me as being a little snotty, and that's not what I intended ... 
I DON'T rely on it, have simply used it and found that nm
not only does it help me save money on groceries (and who doesn't want to do that, regardless of their profession), but it makes me feel good that I'm also helping other families in my area that are in need with my purchase.
I usually just stick what I buy from them in the freezer and save it for the day I have NO plans for dinner and need something quick! It comes in real handy.
I simply DETEST working for/with..s.m
Indians. They are rude!!!!!!!! I never too much cared for them anyway, but to work for/with them is absolutely CRAZY! I don't trust them and they are NOT friendly people
It would help--an you may get more responses--sm
if you indicate what the med is used for. check out this site--
http://www.drugdigest.org/DD/DVH/Uses/0,3915,6355%7CTeargen,00.html
also a Google search could lead you in the right direction, rather than sit and wait for a response here.
Thanks for your responses (sm)
I will probably go ahead and get Shorthand. I know DQS has a built in Expander but it's empty when you first start and that cuts into production time. Today is the first day I'm doing live work (3 jobs only thank goodness) just to keep up on what we were taught in training until the hospitals I do are switched. Wish me luck. I think DQS will be better in the long run as it has some really nice features, it's just I've become spoiled with using the same system for years and years. Change can be very scarry, but if it stimulates my brain and keeps me from getting Alzheimers sooner, hey, I'm all for it. Thanks again. 
Thanks so much for your responses
This has really helped me make my decision. I guess I just needed a little shove.
Thanks to all for your responses! nm

I would like to see more responses (SM)
I would like to see more responses and more specifics to this excellent poll. This is a very good idea. I have always wanted to know this information. There are only a few responses here. I see no reason why the responders cannot be more specific about the MTSO company through which they contract. Please let us continue this thread for awhile longer.
Thank you all very much for your responses. sm
And thank you for your condolences as well. She, at this point, has decided not to attend the church ceremony but feels she can deal with a period of time at the visiting hours. This is agreeable to everyone.
Thank you all again.
No, nothing else. I think the responses have said it all.

RE QA responses
If that's the tone they use when they give you feedback, IMHO, that's VERY unprofessional. I'd certainly go to whoever heads up the QA department to get answers, and also perhaps to resolve the way you're being communicated with.
thanks for the responses
My contract has agreed upon hours not lines per se. I agreed to work a split schedule between mornings and afternoons in my time zone, no weekends. I have no minimum production or maximum production. I just wanted to be sure that I could say "No" once in awhile without being terminated on the spot. I have years of in hospital experience and also over 6 at home as an employee so I am definitely an asset I don't think they would let go lightly. Its not the owners sending out messages to work the weekends but the girl in charge of managing the daily workload who is sending mass emails to all the MTs asking for more help. I think I'll just start ignoring these when I want to and volunteer when I need the extra cash!
Thanks for all the responses...
Thank you for responding. It is nice to get feedback from other's point of view.
I agree with the poster that said that some large families have entitlement issues, and I think this is what is going on with this mom. My kids don't usually have a problem sharing, but the amount of requests coming from this family is completely out of control.
Just as an update on this, I decided not to talk to this mom about it. I discovered a few very alarming things this weekend, and I may need to contact Child Protective Services. For example, on Sunday she locked the kids outside in the late evening while she went grocery shopping because she didn't want the kids to mess up her house. (Their ages are 12, 10, 8, 7, and 5). The oldest was spending the night at a friends, and the youngest 4 were locked outside. She left at 8:30 pm and didn't get back for over an hour.
The 5-year-old is also running the neighborhood by himself a great deal. Last night, I found him outside after midnight and had to walk him home.
I am also discovering that, although she has food in the house, she is not always feeding the kids. For now, I have decided to keep a journal of what is going on for about a month and decide then if I need to report this.
thank you for all the responses...sm
My hubbie has been through the psychology testing, etc. so that insurance would pay for the operation, plus we did the sit down with the dietician, who showed us exactly what was going on. The program also has monthly support meetings and the doctor has extensive experience in this type of surgery, so we feel very confident in his abilities. It is just a big step and we are just trying to make sure we have checked into everything before we proceed. Thank you again everyone.
Thanks for the responses.
I'm very interested to hear anyone's story. Reply by email if you feel it's too personal a subject for the forum. I am interested in hearing the good, the bad, and the ugly of both the foster system and the private agencies.
I've been reading the adoption websites for tips and such, but I feel like people mostly give the sugar-coated versions once the adoption is done, especially if they're endorsing a particular agency.
I do appreciate the comment about being told you're better off going out of the country. I'm sorry that happened to you, and I've heard that story more than once. It's a shame.
Thanks for the responses...
I really appreciate it--it is a "scary" thing to think about changing platforms!
Thank you for the responses. :O) NM

Thanks for all your responses. sm
It's just that commas, hyphens, paragraphs, etc., are not a matter of choice. There is a right way and a wrong way. I agree with the comment that the doctors don't care. I know that's true or it wouldn't happen so much. I'm certainly no expert, but some of the stuff I proof is just ridiculous. Thanks again for your comments.
