Kellie, Chris, Paris - bye Kellie (I hope) - NM

I certainly hope no one in your family ever needs defending. You might pack up and leave them too.

Kellie
I am confused. You talk about Kellie making Southerners look stupid and then talk about "his" and "him. Kellie Pickler is "her." So, who are you talking about?
Kellie
I like Kellie because I think she can sing.  But I can't stand her at the same time because of the way she talks and acts.  You may find it cute and all, but those of us who are from the south (I'm from NC) find it very irritating.  The majority of people that live in the south don't act like that.  And, believe it or not, we have been to the "big city" before...LOL.  I live in Greensboro where American Idol held one of the auditions.  One of the things that really peeved me was that they kept referring to Greensboro as a "small town."  Greensboro is not a small town.  It is a city.  It may not be New York or Chicago, but it is a city, and in no means a small town.  Anyway, like I said, I do like her because she can sing, but I think she makes all of us who live in the south look stupid, which we are not.
Kellie.
I certainly don't think she should win, but I do think she has a great personality. She's certainly one of the more intersting ones - to me at least. I heard on E channel she and Constatine from last year met at a party and have become good friends.
Thank you Katherine. Did you...
find it difficult to get used to the arrow keys as well as the delete, home, pg up and pg down buttons being located in the middle section?  This looks very interesting, but pricey, so I want to make sure it will work. Thanks again for the information.
Kellie just reminds me of....
yet another Baywatch cookie cutter stringy Barbie doll looking blonde.  Katherine is truly a beautiful young woman.  Maybe it's me, but I just don't find that bleach blonde look very distinctive.  They all look alike to me.  And yes, she's either a very good actress or dumb as a box of hair.  Okay, I can understand being from a place where people don't eat a certain kind of food as a rule "SAL-mon", but to have never heard of a fish called a salmon?  Exactly what rock has she been living under?
I think Kellie is adorable and charming. nm

Kevin, Kellie, and Bucky can go -

Taylor and Katherine were my favs this week.  Taylor is consistent in entertaining people and Katherine has a very strong voice, although her choice of songs isn't always the best.  I'm hooked on Idol!  LOL  Bye-bye Kevin.


Chris and Kellie are my favorites!
x
Katherine McPhee - McPheever!!
She definitely is good looking and obviously there's another doc (sneaking into the medicine cabinet and) on drugs cause she can sing too!
Kelly won't go tonight--probably Katherine!
x
Adios Katherine - everyone else was good.
NM
Katherine has a beautiful voice, she is my pick!
She has trained since she was young, attending a school of the arts, is highly qualified.  She appears to be a very nice young lady, classy with a big heart and is very lovely to watch. 
Goodbye Katherine. I am rooting for Taylor..sm
He is the only one with a personality.  I love Chris' voice but he is soooo boring!  And Eliott is just alright for me.
Elliotts voice is not strong - Katherine is
inconsistent and forgets words -  So, I guess that leaves Taylor.  He certainly would be a "different" kind of winner.
The biggest overrated Idol contestant right now is Kellie Pickler.
c
Katherine has got to go. I also thought Elliott and Taylor ruled the night!
Chris was okay, but we all KNOW he's better than this. I'm hoping his first CD is the "Walk the Line."
CONGRATULATIONS! Katherine Z. of Hyde Park, NY on winning one of the TVPS Gift Certificates!

I hope this applies to companies like Medquist. I hope there
isn't a way they can get around it. I REALLY hope.
Are you still there or did you have to leave?
nm
Why don't you leave?
I wonder why you don't leave? I know all companies have their problems but isn't this a deal breaker for you? It is getting to that point with me. It is very hard to go on faith that everything will be correct. I'm struggling with the same question. I know they pay a good line rate, but if you don't get paid for all your lines is it worth it?
Please, just leave them alone.
This person's posts aren't bothering me and I'd rather this just peter out and die.
best to leave this one alone
Have you ever heard of patient privacy? What kind of motivation did you have for Googling a patient name in the first place? There is no way you would know if you spelled it correctly from a Google unless you matched it with an SSN.

If I were your boss and you told me, I would fire you instantly just for being irrational enough to be Googling patient names. You have no business in this matter. Your physician knows something is up, so it is up to him what actions he takes from here.

We are not to judge which patients deserve privacy and which do not. You wouldn't be having this problem if you weren't doing something as questionable as Googling patient backgrounds using PHI you are only supposed to be using to transcribe the record.

Keep your mouth shut before you lose your job.
then LEAVE
if it's so bad here LEAVE. Bubbye "hon"
Leave it on...
I was told by a very savvy computer geek to ALWAYS leave it on because your computer is most vulnerable to attack by hackers/viruses etc... during the first few moments of "boot up" before your anti-virus and spyware stuff have a chance to start up. That is when they "get in" - during these first few seconds without protection.
Leave her alone! Why does everyone
here always want to pick everything apart! She made a simple mistake.
Leave MQ, duh.
Complaining is not the only way to know what it going on, just look at every other post and you will see what is going on.  I agree you need support but that is why the group of you need your own blog, to have a place to go where you can get that support.  Your beating the dead dog is having the opposite affect on most of us non-MQers.  Instead of having sympathy, it is to the point where we are thinking," What is wrong with these people?  Leave MQ!"  You can only feel so much sympathy for people that aren't helping themselves and getting out of a bad situation. 
Leave us alone
This has been our point all along. We have NO WORK, thus we have too much time on our hands so we can be on this board.

We are not perfect and we have great attitudes. At least we can laugh at ourselves when we want to cry.
She just needs to leave
Actually, I think she just needs to stop harrassing people.

Leave the board Tammy, you are just trying to start trouble.
Leave MQ?
Why would a reduction in pay make anyone leave this lovely company? I decided a long time ago to stay to the bitter end, but the bitter end came for me in June and I said adios amigo and KMA MQ. A lot of nice people in work flow, tech support, really great people, but there was no work to begin with and nice people don't pay my bills. I'm not sorry I went with them but sorry I had to leave because they are such a sorry company now. I had been there for seven years on the same accounts, first with YOG and then with these meatballs.
the only way i'd leave

Is if I were offered a position I couldn't refuse.  I'm looking, believe you me, but for the most part, its the runaround fast talk I can see right through over the phone with these job offers i'm getting.  They tell you what you want to hear, etc., to get you in the door, and once they have you, who knows what they will do to you.    I do not trust these MT companies any longer.  At least MQ, I can see when i'm getting screwed, I know the reputation.  They have messed with me a couple of times, but I try and keep in close contact with them, keep my lines up, work my shift, just to get treated fairly, until they slack off and I have to give them a phone call.  I'm on the same account now for three years, get over 9 cents a line...so I haven't had it so bad. 


The only way i'd leave is for an Editor position that pays 18+ an hour with guaranteed cost of living raises, full benefit package, including PTO days.  Until I find that, i'm staying put.  I feel I'd be stepping from a hot bowl of soup right onto the oven burner if I leave.  Its scary being so remote, you cannot trust these people running the show anymore. 


I would leave it alone
As long as she remains a good student, etc. etc. as you stated in your post, I would just leave it alone for now - unless something changes drastically.  Pick your battles wisely.
Should I leave?
I sympathize with your situation, as I went through similar times.  I worked 2-3 transcription jobs at one time (one was 40 hours a week + 2 P/T times), but I had the freedom to raise my children in a better atmosphere.  When you are living in fear you won't have the freedom to be yourself and to raise your children in a loving, unafraid way.  You will have the strength once you make the decision this is what you want to do. 
Please, please leave him
My identical twin sister was killed by her abusive boyfriend. She always thought that he would change too. He promised he would. He didnt. Now my sister is dead and her 3 children do not have their mother anymore. Please leave him before it is too late. There are domestic violence shelters who can help you and your children out of this terrible situation. I know the devistation that domestic violence causes... you deserve better, and so do your precious children.
I would definitely leave it up to her. She might have
been more bothered with the other grandmother's service than she let on.
Why do you have to leave him for another man? Why not leave for yourself?
:+
I'd leave it alone...
I work in QA and find huge mistakes when I look up reports that have BEEN QA'D! So there ya go ;)
Leave both of them...LOL!
Mama's boys and their domineering mothers make for a miserable life. I have a great mother-in-law now who does not wear rose colored glasses! Most of the time she sides with me. Great lady! Good luck to you.
Maybe you should leave that alone
even though you are "curious"
Why did I leave?
All of the transcriptionists that came when I did also left, probably 15 or more trained MTs. Overbearing, constant emails in letters so big you could hardly read them on the page without enlarging the page, constant instant messaging to where you could not work, had to answer them and they flew fast and furious for a person, always promised raise, never got 1- they were always working on it, changed rules day in and day out, 1 day 1 way, the next day another. If you like being micromanaged, under the microscope, this is the job for you. I left and I and the others much happier.
Leave it alone

why did you leave?

Trying to leave MT....
Thanks for answering my question. I do use Auto Correct, as we have MS Word as the software we use for documents and I am building my list up. Itis good for some words, terms or phrases..I'm not sure how much it has helped boost my line count.

I just honestly wanted to know what is fair for a newbie MT doing this for one year.

I am lucky that we do not have hardly any ESL docs.

You are right about my employer being harsh--my asst manager assigned me orthopedics last month and she said to me a few days ago that I should have had Ortho down by now!! I tell you, these people have never heard of a learning curve!

After taxes, I make about 16,000/year and that's based on a full-time 40 hour work week.

They don't pay me enough for the stress, so I'm looking for something else now. the job market in this area is pretty lousy, but I keeping hope!
Most MTs don't want to leave their
homes and families to go to a training session. Other companies can handle training online or over the phone, and it certainly doesn't take three days. Did you post in your job ad that training was on site and mandatory?

You're dealing with experienced MTs, not newbies, so why can't you be more accommodating? There's no way in heck I'd leave my family to travel for training. I simply can't do it. There's nobody here to watch my kids, drop them off, pick them up and everything else I do while my spouse is working. At my last job, they emailed me work samples and that was the extent of training. I figured everything else out on my own and even taught them a thing or two about their platform and templates. As much as MTSOs think MTs are a dime a dozen, the same can be said for MTSOs. The overly demanding ones get blown off.
I would leave for QA.
x
I would leave as she
as that is what the patient intends to be and would like to be called, or they would not have the female name already.
Don't leave because of QA only...

Recently, I got a report back that said to put Baker cyst instead of Baker's cyst.  Now, my Stedman's shows it as Baker's cyst.  I sent that explanation back to QA waiting for a response and never got one.  This is just one example.    If QA said for this particular account put Baker cyst, then that is what I would do but never got a response so not going to put the wrong thing just because.  Yet, I think this company has polite, professional QA, I like the accounts, there are other things I do not like and might send me looking elsewhere but I wouldn't leave based on how coo-coo the editors were.


blessings,


 


Either leave them off entirely or
whatever reason it was not a good fit.  If you were an IC, then you could explain it very easily that the work ran out. 
I would probably leave them ...
... it's a little much, but it doesn't hurt the flow of the report. However, I would relisten and make sure he/she is not saying "cope" instead of "coop" with the back pain. Coop doesn't make much sense.
Leave me alone. nm
