Why dont you stop coming in and agitating everyone under all your different names. Dont you work.

Dont you think MQ will just keep hiring new people who dont know they lost lines because they are
new. I betcha.
If you dont try to fill in blank or research, dont

The way I understand it if you dont keep below 10 to 15% QA you dont get the bonus even if your QA
score remains above 98% so you see as the other poster said you are between a rock and a hard place and I expect this is MQ way of getting out of paying a bonus to people. I see it this way anyhow. I plan to continue to send unclear things to QA and that is the way it is. I expect depending on the new pay scale on top of this they will be losing a lot of MTs anyhow as they continue to miser everyone out of money.
Do you honestly think they do. I dont. I dont think some of them can even understand some of the
reports they listen to quite frankly.
If you dont want to read a thread, then dont.

Most Dr. dont care and dont know how they get

I dont know. I didnt care then and I dont care now.
Just me
Hello....YOU dont get it!
She is 18. She is an adult. Her parents didn't "send" her there. She went with her friends. Her parents, I am sure, instilled values in her. But she, like most peoples young teenage children, probably was acting like all the other young teenagers there and having fun. No one said she had no values. She made a bad decision. Your children could do the same, no matter how you have raised them. Should you be persecuted because of it? I think you don't have a clue.
I dont believe you
I really doubt you transcribe that many lines in an 8 hour day five days a week. You must do a single ESL dictator. You must be one of the lucky ones who gets to use all of those "normal" reports. Since I moved to DQS all I get is ESL dictators and NO use of normals or canned reports.
Still dont believe ya
If you are doing straight typing and not using normals, let us in on your secret. I concentrate! I have a positive attitude! I can also type 120 words a minute! You must type 300+ words a minute. Well, just stay happy because soon you will not be getting the same type of work and you will be in ESL h-e-double toothpicks! Enjoy it while you can.
No I dont. I am from the NE.

DONT go to SPI.

you dont' know.
This is why I think the old "page" and "half page" method of pay was better for everyone. I think it forced everyone to be honest.
Do you think they'll ever bring back 'per page' method of billing ?
usually dont pay anything in
and last year managed to get 1800.00 back. Love the write-offs!
I dont know but sm
A couple of them work in the office and I dont know if they put two and two together when I went to the office a couple of times or what. Or maybe he was just lying. I think it has to be the most rotten thing to do to anyone. What if something would have happened to me on the Interstate on the way home all because he couldnt just save me the trouble and do it over the phone? I have a husband who was highly upset that I drove all the way there for that.
dont know about
your Word problem - would seem that if you change it once in your transcription platform, that should hold from day to day.
but to post a new message - if you look up at the first message, right above that the admin has a message about the santa house, then look above that and to the left a bit you will see a box that says * post a new message *, click on that and you will start a new thread.
I dont think there's much else I can add
to all the great posts below, but you MUST know that you DO indeed have a job(s) and are working very hard. Sometimes parents can be so harsh and thoughtless. Give yourself a big pat on the back and affirm to yourself that you are doing a GREAT job with everything in your life! You are home for your kids and husband after all, and what's more important than that?!
Why dont you
post this on the gab board
Just joking!!! I have been following your posts and noticed you have been told where to go all weekend. Poor guy. But you seem to be taking it well! Good for you.
and good luck to you!
You dont have to have a CMT to be an MT - (nm)
.
just dont know
I have been doing this for almost six years. I know that to some of you, this isnt long, but considering I am 25, to me it is a good chunk of my life. I have loved every minute of my career as a transcriptionist.
My first job out the gate, with no experience, I made about 18,000 the first year. I stayed with that company for almost five years. Contractor status, no benefits, yada yada yada. the income fluctuated a bit in either direction, but overall it was okay.
Now I am a single mom of two. I work for a different company now that does actually offer the option of employee status with benefits, PTO, et cetera..i turned that down..i know i am crazy.
just to give you an idea of the potential and possibilities, i made almost 250 in two days. 1600 lines one day, 1200 the other.
There is a but..I often work twelve or more hour days...That is my choice, and no one elses...my line committment to my company is between 500 and a 1000 a day, but i think i am on paper as 500...i worked for 5 months without a footpedal and without a medical spellcheck/expander..so i did EVERYTHING manually
But ya know what, I still love every minute of it.
I'm an IC so I dont know if it is the same...
I made the mistake of "asking" for a raise just last week. I have been with this same office (a three doctor practice) for seven years. Not only was their response not to give me a raise, they want to make it so I'm actually making LESS. So I'm not sure how it works with a big company, but I know in my situation, I'm disheartened and upset. I figured with a big company they would say no, or they dont care about you, but in a small practice that I have felt part of the "family" so to speak... it was a shock. So much for loyalty in this industry! The problem comes in that I don't make enough money anymore to cover the expenses of inflation over the past seven years. I understand the need to cut costs in times like these, but how bad could it really be by not giving me a minimal raise? It's quite a slap in the face. I laid out the points of why I should be receiving the raise...(like 7 years alone without one isn't enough) but that's what you would normally do when asking for a raise, show your dedicated work, your accuracy, etc. If you do ask, I'd really love to hear back from you how it went so I know in the future what to expect. Good luck!
i dont really want to know!!!
haha
Dont know about anyone else...sm
What I do know is that if I pass the test, my company reimburses the cost of the exam, and then gives me an extra penny a line. Doing just the minimum lines they require, that works out to over 2000 a year pay increase.
I am planning on taking the exam the end of June, as said company also requires all QA personal to have or attain within three months and had thought about applying fot QA in the near future when there is another opening.
dont know where you have worked
dont know where you have worked but the hospitals and trans services I have worked for would NEVER help a doctor speak better. They are the bread and butter. The doctor is essentially the boss. You would never bring to a doctors attention that he does not speak correctly. You obviously are a newbie. I have worked at hospitals that have thrown wine and cheese parties for doctors just to get them in to do their charts, bought them scratch off lottery tickets, gifts, taken them to lunch, even though they could have suspended them but, of course, they would never. You do not want to lose a doctors business, that is what keeps a hospital and trans service open and profitable. You know what would happen if you suggested teaching a doctor how to talk correctly, you would be fired, nothing would happen to the doctor.
Up to the parents, but they dont do it
Hey, I feel like this, the parents have the only ones who have a right to spank or otherwise discipline kids
Dont believe me, who cares?
How silly you are. Dont believe me, I dont care. MQ has been sold. I will post again once you get the news from MQ. I will post *I told ya so*.
It dont exist
!
Dont miss it at all......
Been without it for a year now. I have a greater appreciation for PBS!! And, I find that since I have the television on less, I am much more productive. My kids are out of the house now, I currently live alone, so did not need cable.
I do get my fix of viewing when I spend the week-ends at my fiances place tho.
What? I dont get the joke.

AccuScribe in CA DONT DO IT!!
I agree w/ the other post, there are more than one AccuScribe companies out there and the one run by Susan Rojo is not a good one! She does demand work in right away and does not pay on time EVER!!! She has no people skills and does not treat her employees with respect at all. Not recommended if you like getting paid and respected for your hard work.
thank me. i tried, but they dont do hawaii :(

Use meditech but dont like it...
Meditech is horrible. I use it, but dont like it....If I had known this was the platform, would NOT have accepted this acct. I use shorthand and that is a life saver... I have also when typing regular medical (I do both gen med and rad) since they are so much longer type the report in word, use all of word features such as spell ck, grammar, stedmans goodies and when done cut and paste into the Meditech screen. While it does take a while to peck it out, it still saves my sanity for not having any of the tools needed to type the darn thing....I also save my templates in word and use them from there.. Short ones i do put in shorthand. Good luck.....
Is this so you dont have to LEARN which is which?
If so, no, theres no way.
If you need a shortcut, just put the nongenerics in your Expander as capped. Put your others in like ddiphenhydramine and it will catch on spellcheck and you will know it is generic.
But I dont' do that consistently, wish I did ! --normally do about 800 a day - sm
but Sundays I usually hit between 1000-1500 as I save my weekend work for that day and do it all at once. Fun.
I dont know why its not been pointed out yet..
that the money you are saving in gas, you are paying back into a higher car payment. Yes the hybrids save on money your putting in at the pump, but instead youre going to just turn around and put it into the finance company who youre making your payment to. Compare the prices...generally...with any given model...a gas model as opposed to same model in a hybrid runs anywhere in the neighborhood of $10,000-$15,000 more. Youre not actually saving any money, youre just sending it somewhere else.
Dont want people to think
that the kids are in danger. They are with my mother-in-law while my sister-in-law works or with me. When she is not working she has them they do not stay alone with my brother-in-law anymore.
Dont know if JAM answered but....
I copied this from his/her email.
Position the curser where you want to start, (beginning of sentence)
press F8, hit the period key. It will then highlight to the period and
you can delete. This will work with commas also. If you get stuck in
the mode or change your mind, just hit esc. Just remember to hit F8,
then hit whatever key you want to highlight to, then delete.
DONT GO TO CYMED
promises abound, but work rarely available in my experience was with them for 6+ months
DONT be discouraged
plenty of experienced MTs have difficulty with ESLs. Don't let your self esteem suffer. Keep testing, keep trying.
Just dont' tell them, that is how I would deal with it.- sm
what if you ate something that upset your stomach and you were in the BR every 30 mintues, you'd have to tell them that, nuts. I'd just do what you need to do, and either work longer to make up for the time, or not if you don't want to. Otherwise I'd tell them to take a flying leap and get a new job.
Every job I applied to has. Tell them I dont

Dont want anyone to decide for me, just need

I dont mind ESL but....
I really hate it when they are ESL and decide to step away from the mic to dictate so low that you are not only struggling with the dialect, but also the darn volume - I mean really - you already know people have a hard time with your language skills - do you have to make it harder by whispering or moving so far away that we can't hear you????
Thanks for letting me vent.
Dont see connection between this and MT.

I dont want MT trying to figure out what my dr.

Dont you think dr would have mentioned that if

I dont disagree & think there are Dr who have
