I'm also 40-50 miles from this woman. I hope she's caught and put away for this. Thanks so much for warning us that this is going on.

I see you are caught in
already.
In some offices you continually run out of work - and MQ gives you
no policy in writing as to what your rights are or what they will
provide in the way of "buffer". All they do is say "we can give you more
accounts".
Well, sitting in front of a computer 24 hours a day and still not finding
enough work on dozens of accounts is not being a good business
person.
Having an account or else built in protection for times when there is no work
is BEING A GOOD BUSINESS PERSON.
Even if you are an employee, and there is no work, suddenly you find you
are RESPONSIBLE for the huge medical insurance bill - for several pay periods "because you didn't meet your line requirement"
I'm telling you, this company needs to either standardize it's politicies and
be up front with what they do, or forever go through the system as being
utterly slippery and underhanded, and deserve the reputation they so
deservedly have right now. Of course they have their own agenda and could
care less about posters like me who have been through the drill until I was ground
down into the ground and broke, because they are "using" MTs to position themselves into the world of VR. And it will have been done on the backs
of many MTs who lost it all thinking at some point MQ would finally "do right"
They haven't and probably will never.
So my advice is, if you can't get some policies in writing from whereever possible
(New Jersey just flips you off, so don't waste your time there), don't invest too
much in this company as you will be at their mercy and feel like you are never on solid ground financially. It is not a company to work for if you need the
money for a living. It is merely to pick up pocket change.
What caught my eye was sm
"it's a teaching hospital". Been there, done that. Get ready for ESLs that change every year. You might like it, but you'll earn every cent. On the plus side, you'll learn so much more than with a nonteaching hospital, which is good. Let us know what you decide.
AVG has caught several
viruses. I also run online scans on sites like Trend Micro, Panda, etc., on occasion just to double-check the effectiveness of AVG & make sure it hasn't missed anything. I've been using AVG free for about 10 years I guess and, like I said, AVG has caught several viruses and I've never once had a crash or lost anything in all these years due to viruses, and I've turned all my friends and family onto AVG free & they've never had any issues with viruses, so I have to say that I'm extremely happy with it, especially considering it's free... Doesn't get any better than that! ;)
I hope this applies to companies like Medquist. I hope there
isn't a way they can get around it. I REALLY hope.
Absolutely, because if they are caught twice, they've probably done it

Maybe I caught him at a bad time or maybe he is
going through some personal problems in his life that he is carrying over into the workplace. In any event, I could not foresee a good working relationship with this individual in the future.
You are offshore and got caught.

Missed most of it but what I caught was fun!!

My son is only 7, so he hasn't caught on yet
that I'm not talking to him. He still says "what" all the time...lol. So, I'll look at him and say, "do you know what flagginationalization means?" Cracks him up every time.
caught off gaurd
I started with a new company about 40 days ago - I trained on one account for about three days and the was given two docs to do with really no training only a manual. I have been doing them for about 35 days. My first QA score about ten days or so after the start of these docs was 96%, my second on 5/20 was 98%. I really have not gotten any negative feed back other than some format issues which were worked out quickly. I have been meeting my TAT, proofing and covering what they asked. There has not been any complaint that has been brought to my attention that I can pinpiont. This past weekend, I got sent a whole bunch of work to help cover someone on vacation, my work was pushed back by my QA and supervisor. Needless to say my accounts were not very happy and were not told in advance. This evening I get a call from the supervisor saying that due to a call from the docs office about poor TAT and quality she was removing me from the account. I have an email this same supervisor sent me from the docs office dated June 5 saying the account was finally looking up. I asked the supervisor to pinpoint the issues but she was not able to at this time and told me to hold tight until she gets some more info. I don't know what to think. Any opinions or suggestions???
Okay, I'm caught up to the posts below
.
I have no idea about his being caught but
working from home I kept my eye peeled for the report and checked every so often. You know the time frame as far as dictating- what 24 hours? This was 8 months later. If he did to me, well you know the rest. Like I said, he personally called me from another sister hospital 2 times and very incensed that I would even approach mediation at the hospital. Of course when I took my story there along with the documentation, he refused to comment on it, denying all. I at that time could not afford to lose my job so I could not press on with it. Called several attorneys and each one said no one would be on my side being as this was an elective procedure I chose and a face lift at the same time so dead end for me.
I don't think everything is caught - like the job resumes
with addresses like Mumbai, Hawaii. Could it be a name, not a place?
Sweet. Someone caught it ;-)
All is write with the world now.
Seriously, though, can we let the poor woman vent without picking on her grammar?
Thank goodness you caught it and not QA
 thanks for the chuckle
LOL.... caught me off guard...

It just caught me off guard. I really wasn't trying to
criticize. Sorry!
I only caught bits and pieces of it, but sm
I didn't see anything offensive that should generate such a stink. My BIGGEST gripe is with people who come out hating something, expressing an opinion about something they have never even SEEN!
The little bit I saw, it looked like a man dealing with "normal" family situations -- let's face it, it is not unusual nowadays to have a gay son, or become addicted to prescription meds, etc. -- ministers are not immune. I am a Christian and love the Lord, and I was not offended by anything on the show. And even if I was, it is not my place to tell others what they can and cannot watch. We all get to "vote" with the flick of a channel.
Thanks, will do. About 3 nights ago my Norton caught
Did you notice the Feb 3 date? That would be this coming Friday. Wonder how our various transcription companies are going to fare? ugh. I hope they don't crash. 
My husband caught a doctor...sm
actually dictating in a hospital and heard him say at the end to scratch all that and started over! He felt so bad for the poor MT who would be doing him. He also was an extremely slow dictator, so it probably took her forever! He's also heard some fast dictators and would let them know after they finished that someone has to actually transcribe that. Go hubby! 
Like a good MT, I caught MY mistake and

She took the safe way out. Rocky was fake and got caught
while the average joe is head over heels for this girl. Could go either way, he might enlighten her in that a good guy doesn't have to be a total hunk. Then again, she may be so shallow not to see that. I think her mom did make an impression on her decision though.
hahaha! I've been caught red handed!! lol

Caught a bit of it on Fox ticker but no live coverage..
yet. Where do you live? How horrible for you and all the kids to have to go through a nightmare like this :( Our thoughts and prayers are with you all!
Food/medicine caught in throat
This very thing happened to me while eating pizza one day - I ended up in the ER because I could not get it out or to go down. The ER doc ordered a chest x-ray (do not know why) and then sent me home with some Prilosec saying that I had esophagitis. It was a rainy day - two dogs chased my car home and I was afraid to get out - plus I had my sister's four children that week, besides my own two. I took a Prilosec and then had to have my husband rush to the pharmacy for some Benadryl - I was allergic to the dye - then, and I don't recommend this, I got a long-handled teaspoon - bent it and stuck it down my throat - retrieving the pizza dough. I still had esophagitis because my throat was now inflamed from the pizza and the spoon handle - I put the chewed up dough in a ziploc and returned it to the ER for an explanation - of course they thought I was crazy - but you do what you have to do. I have found that many doctors are either incompetent or on drugs (cocaine, meth, and others that they either sniff or smoke). That is why there is such a high malpractice rate (but that's another story). In fact, I see a doctor now who is a drug-abuser - but he prescribes what me or my family needs when we go to see him and we get well - but boy is he high - nice, though. That's my take on the ibuprofen in your throat.
Thanks, MOMT. I have been known to sometimes get caught up trying to make my point, but... SM
I didn't think I was being rude. Thanks again, I was starting to take it a little personal, but some people are just sensitive, I guess.
There is a $150 fine if caught working at home-sm
w/o business license. From 2002-2005 the fee was $50. Then city changed it and now have to take copy of tax return to City Hall and the fee is based on previous year's income. Woman in my Chamber of Commerce group was turned into the city by a rival and was fined.
If your child was caught cheating at school,

Out of her dress today (instead of out of her dressing) but I caught it when proofing.

Same here. Do a load a day. Wash in the morning. Dry it after dinner. Always caught

My line count went from 1200+ to <800 and I never caught up. I did change jobs ;) nm

I have had pills get caught going down from not enough water and they have left a residue that burne

One time I typed "Tp and his wife are retired and travel in their rectovaginal." Caught it tho

LOL! Hush woman, I caught myself typing "the incision was thoroughly irrigated with normal swelli
when I'm just too pooped to type everyone gets "prepped and raped in a sterile fashion" (that one I already got on autocorrect just in case!
Same thing with nationals. You work all the time to keep the account caught up when others dont work
and then when they decide to put a whole lot of extra people on your accounts and run you out they could care less about how much you worked.
Correction - Men and women cheat - men get caught - women don't
I know more women who cheat than the other way around, and the difference is that no one knows about it unless THEY tell them.
Clinton is intelligent??? If he was intelligent he wouldn't have gotten caught!
eeeeeeeeew
I hope so
I really want to do IC where I am a stay at home mom with a very active 2 yr old and hate to commit to hours until he is older. One other girl did not do IC because of this
Wow, a ray of hope
that's very encouraging to hear! Even though you didn't take the job, at least they seemed to be concerned as to why! Good job!!!
I hope this is okay
A friend of mine is in second place right now in the Staples invention contest. Please vote for Julie Savage and her Glue Swabs. Right now she is neck and neck with a musician, who has the online musician community bucking for him to win.
Hopefully MTs have more pull than musicians.
Oh, and you can vote once a day from each email addy you have.
I do hope it gets better for you.
I am struggling tremendously myself and working many, many hours to get my quota. But like yourself, I have got to have the insurance. It is so frustrating, but I will do what I have to do - and that has been a lot of praying here lately!
I hope so,
Oh boy, I hope I have this right...sm
He was told to follow up.
He presents for followup.
I hope you
are not still doing any work for her. If you and she live in the same area, I would pay a friendly visit. It's very easy for people to ignore emails. If you speak with her face to face, even if she is unable to pay you during your first visit. She will find a way to get your money if she knows that you will come by again. I would continue to drop by occasionally and just say, I was doing a pick up in your area and thought I'd stop by to check the status of a few outstanding invoices. It couldn't hurt.
Yes, that's my only hope
Maybe enough people will quit that there will be work. I'm going to wait for the packet and read things over, then decide what I'm going to do.
Still hope
I've never worked for a National - they turned me down years ago which was a blessing. Sent out letters to 75 local docs and now work for 3 at .15/line. Have you tried doctors in your community? Have to buy my own medical but still well worth it!
That gives me hope...
MQ is "rewarding" me for my dedication and expertise by routing the longest reports and foulest dictators to me simply because "You're the only one who can do them - you should feel complimented." I'm paid by the report so no matter how much I am paid - I'm screwed. Your post gives me hope that there are companies out there that don't operate like this. Thanks!
I hope you mean I just DID it. nm
Some hope
I don't exactly agree. I think the best MTs, those that save MDs the most time, have the best chance of continuing to work in this field. I found a job in RADIOLOGY, for goodness sakes, and because the MDs are confident that reports I produce make sense (and these particular MDs actually care) so that they can concentrate on their other work, I believe they will keep me around. I think the MTs with large vocabularies (especially for the dying language of ENGLISH), will be able to find work for years to come. Make sure you continue to educate yourselves and don't daydream while transcribing just because you've done this for 20 years and know all the terms. When you are not valued in one job, look for a place where they DO care about quality. It helps to be where the MDs can talk to YOU instead of a medically uneducated supervisor. Just my experience.
I hope you don't....
shop at Wal-mart or other organizations/companies such as that! You can't talk out of both sides of your mouth!
I hope someone else says it....
wow
