I agree with you....

when I worked in-house most of the foreign docs got the most glowing reviews from patients, though their dictation was lousy! Some days I would rather have my ESLs over Dr. Fast Talker, Dr. Chewer, or Dr. Snorter!

• I think I eed a new job--SM - AA
  • ESL docs - jakesaunt
  • You must get samples of their reports so you can see what they are saying. sm - there are no jobs without ESLs
  • I find they give the best, meticulous pt care by far. Why do you fear? - fear for patient care?
    • I think what she is saying is - not the OP
      • She fears because of her own lack of transcription skills, sm - she is saying
      • I agree with you.... - Carlyd
        • I would always rather have my ESL docs over the sm - always

he speaks perfect English, especially when asking for money!  Also, in my opinion, blanks should be left in the doc's dictation if not able to be transcribed, maybe then they will know that are NOT understood.  With QA fixing them, what need is there for them to care if we understand them or not? 

I mean afterall there is no evidence that she is dead.  From the beginning I thought they were guilty and I still think that Joran knows something (not saying it was an intentional murder-- probably an accident)  The biggest thing that plays on my mind is why did they lie in the beginning if they were innocent.  I believe that they were covering up for something.  There have been theories that she went for a swim and drowned but there has been absolutely no trace of her.  No shoes, handbag, nothing, which leads me to believe that everything was gathered up and taken somewhere. 

I feel for the family but they need to let the Arubans do their job abiding their own laws.  I know the mother has said she will stay until she finds Natalee but you can't live in Aruba forever.

I think you have to blame Natalee herself before you blame the chaperones.  What was she thinking going in a car w/ three strangers in a foreign country???  And also, what about her friends.. what were they thinking letting her go to the bar or leaving the bar alone?  Back when we were in college and were on spring break or just bar hopping in this country..... you NEVER let your friend go off w/ some strange guys.  That is just common sense.

Evil does exist no matter where you go and my post was meant in no way disrespectful to you or your opinion (I hate it when a flaming war starts like the ones above).  I just know how one seemingly insignificant comment can start a whole line of growing misinformation...  Kinda like that game we probably all played as kids..telephone or whatever 

I did not hear about the comment of America being the Great Satan, that is interesting, I am going to have to check that one out! 

IN some cases we did, but do you really think the Indians didn't do the same?  There is a myth about indigenous peoples on any continent being "noble savages," but in truth, there were warring thieving tribes among the Indians here who leeched off the peaceful tribes before the Europeans got here.  Lying and cheating are not exclusively European virtues.

I still say they need to get over it.  We spend way too much time in this country talking about mistreatment and ills of the past - we need to spend more time and energy on building a future for the children and grandchildren we say we love so much.  The best way to give them a successful, peaceful future is to let go of our resentments and choose to love our children more than we love our grudges.

Degree in advertising and marketing and promotion and choosing to do MT. How pitiful is that?

I can do 1800-2000 lines a day, so 1000 is a piece of cake.

That is what I am working on, keeping at it.  Hard right now for me with 3 kids at home and in my face sometimes.  But only 1 month till school.  Ahhhhh, cant wait!  Still, I find that after my 1000, I start to dwindle a bit.  I want 2000 a day, so that is my goal I am working towards.  Have to find ways to motivate myself. 

I also strongly agree with you about the attitude component.  That plays a major role in our jobs.  With changes coming on board at my company, I find the better the attitude, the better it all goes for me. 

I have to look up every single lab test that she abbreviates (incorrectly) because our account does not allow for ANY abbreviations (for this reason, I guess).  She has listed over 37 different lab tests in this report and half of them she abbreviated incorrectly.  I have to look them all up in Stedman's path...if not in Stedman's path then in Stedman's abbreviations, and then if not in Stedman's abbreviations on google or path sites.  I spent over 2 hours on this one 27-minute report. 

I normally love the long, meaty reports especially if they're OPs.  But this woman obviously didn't know what she was doing...and the worst part is that she isn't new.  She does this all the time.  I cringe when I see her name show up in my job list, which it usually does about every 5 months and then 10 jobs in a row.  So I'll probably spend all 8 hours on just her 10 reports and be lucky to make 800 lines.  Yeeehaww.

I've read your post and Sandra's, and I agree with Sandra.  I would not want you typing my medical records or those of my family, I can certainly tell you that.  Lord only knows what would end up on there.

(Amy would type:  The patient had a right knee "baloney" amputation.) 

What's to be gained by "reporting?"  If it isn't done during hours she is paid to work for the service, or on their equipment, it's nobody's business.  Period.

{{{where women are forced to go home hours after surgery against the wishes of their doctor, still groggy from anesthesia and sometimes with drainage tubes still attached.
      A woman who undergoes breast augmentation is discharged while she's still groggy from anesthesia and sometimes with drainage tubes attached. You go home and rest. No problem.

they hiring?

I can think of a scenerio but it isn't a pretty one.  What if they are hiring, allow you to sign on as SE, but then either there is no work, or gawd forbid they do away with SE category.....and you have committed yourself through investments to work for them.  Then you are caught in a vice.  No work, so can't meet "employee" status, they don't offer SE anymore, you obviously go out to find another job but there is still the learning curve of the new job and your income obviously will suffer again, plus you still have to be making income to pay for the investments you made when you obligated to work for MQ. 

I can see MQ covering all their bases while you sink.  So far that's what they have done.  The offer great bonus packages, and then have no work to attain them.  It's almost like false advertising or "come ons".  I wish some lawyer groups would look into what they are advertising and if they are really providing the opportunities to reach such goals they set.
