Franky
I think you misunderstand the variety of skills I am speaking of.
OK Franky, enough of this
Who are you, really? Are you Kyra????
Franky, I have never been
near an appendage as small as yours. I don't like being tickled. 'might as well be with a woman. Therfore, I didn't give you anything. The crabs you have are probably offshore crabs.
Again, Franky
you must have me confused with your offshore groupie. The only way I'd get under your desk is if you told me you left my check there.
Dear Franky
That thing is so little, 15 women can't look at it at the same time, let alone grasp it at the same time.
Hello Michael and Welcome. Did you see this exchange about Franky Boy
See Below. I copied these. Please see the whole string. I think it's on page three now, maybe two. I split my side on this one.
Well, good morning "Frank" are you counting your piles of money?

penned in at the moment because of unethical practices of MQ,
but in essence you have "given" us to your competition. Your competition may have
been weakened by your siphoning off of MTs to work for MQ for a while
mostly because you became a monopoly, but with all the manpower
going to your broken competition and hospitals who are tired of being
manipulated with smoke and mirror business, see how good your name smells in
the medical field in about a year.
The resumes are flying like kites out there right now, can you see them?
Those are not clouds in your coffee those are your livelihood in the medical
field going up up up and away.
Enjoy your card game now. I think the slight of hand way of doing business
has just about seen its day.
Any company that cannot ever give how a line is counted and show
the method an MT is paid - so that the MT can double check her "billing" is
not an ethical institution. We don't work for the suprise we get in the bank at the end of 2 weeks of chasing work around your company, we work for the
money. We are business people just like you. You, MQ, would not do business without a clear contract and yet you have expected MTs to
work on a line count that is by YOUR FORMULA which you can't share! How insane is that? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Why, yes, yes I am! If you don't like my company, please move on! This company has been in business for many, many years and I intend to keep it that way. None of you little peon transcriptionists can do anything to change that. I want only positive and productive transcriptionists working for me, and sorry honey, but you do not fall into that category. If I am such a bad, bad man, then why I ask, do you take my money every 2 weeks in your paycheck? Good golly ladies, get a life and leave my company alone. I do have lots and lots of competitors out there so go see how happy you are with them, but I will tell you right now this door only swings one way so don't come crawling back a cryin' saying you had it too good here - as the saying goes, "you don't know what you got til it's gone." For some, I understand that it will take you leaving to find that out and to that end, I say good riddens, adios amiogos, farewell, and goodbye. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________

No need to fix your makeup - you look good either way, although I love it most when you wear your red lipstick - YUMMY. By the way, did you get your bonus I put in your check? You have been such an outstanding and dedicated employee and one that I truly respect. Keep up the good work. I have been doing my best to keep your work pool busy by taking the other fat and ugly people's work from them.

are Frank?
FRANKY, DO YOU HAVE A DIVERSE WORKFORCE?
=
Franky, darling, it's been lovely
chatting with you. However, it is now 9:07 pm in Alabama. A 'real' man is on his way over. Therfore, I must bid you farewell. I look forward to communicating with you tomorrow, if you don't have AA meeting or crossdresser's anonymous. Remember the 12 steps and keep hope alive. 'nite darlin'
every question asked on here could be documented in some book. So? cant a question be asked?
x
Okay, you asked for it
Multivitamin - prenatal (as directed by GYN dr, I'm perimenopausal)
flaxseed oil (1,000 mg) once daily)
Chromium picolinate (500 mcg) one daily
B-150 vitamin one daily
Green Tea capsule (315 mg) one daily
Calcium, magnesium and Zinc (combined tablet)
I can skip a few days and can really tell it. My energy level really decreases.
How many of you get asked how to get into it?
I have people I do not know that heard from someone that I work at home and want to know what it takes to get into it. Until this discovering this board this year, I would tell them that I lucked up into the job. I worked at the hospital and because of a sick child I was allowed to go home to work aftering working in a clinic setting for four years and hospital for two years. I also tell them it takes a lot of discipline to work and not do other things that needs to be done around the house. I don't mind explaining to them. I give them the pros and cons. What I can't understand is why do they think they can call me during working hours and keep me on the phone with questions?
Have you asked her vet?
Thats strange. I'm not sure why, i wouldn't think its a disorder in anyway. Have you asked the dog's vet? That might be your best resource. Is being around the father new for her? It may just be that she is still adjusting to the new person in the house or her new environment. Once she becomes adjusted, I'm sure she will be fine. But Anyway I would ask the vet- they would be the best, most reliable & accurate resource. 
Again, I do not believe she asked you anything!!!!!
nm
I asked the same ?
a few earlier posts as I am in the same boat. I am leaning towards the local job which is pretty much the response I got from other people. The reason being that I would have the same dictator over and over and can use macros/expanders to work less time and earn more money which sounds good to me.
Thank you. That's all I asked. nm
.
Well since you asked here's.....
I would never have anyone treat my neck if I were having problems like you have. One wrong move and you could get paralyzed.
I've seen 3 chiropractors over the years and only 1 was worth a toot. The other 2 were just out for money - trying to see how much they could get me to come in so they could make the money. The only good one I found works out at my gym and has a reputation for being an honest guy - and that was my opinion as well. He helped me when I had some lower back problems and I'd go back to him in a nannosecond for that if a problem arose again.
Make sure if you see one that you ask friends, family, neighbors, etc for recommendations of someone who's reputable.
The biggest quack I saw was right after an automobile accident when I had a muscle spasm in my shoulder from where the seat belt grabbed me and the lunkhead thought he saw the equation of automobile accident + another driver's fault = tons of money if he kept me coming in. Clue #1 he was ruthless was on the first visit he was wanting to know who my attorney was and insisting that I needed one. Good jiminy crickets - it was just a muscle spasm!
I have asked him about why?
He says, he loves her. He said it doesn't matter to him if she is a lesbian. He loves her and her kids. The kids are not his either. He simply likes what she has to offer him. He is constantly in fights with her other lovers who lives with him and her also. HELP
I would have, had I been asked. sm
My mother, God bless her, was adamant in her wishes to be placed in a nursing home when the time came so that she wouldn't be a burden on any of us, although we all would have taken her in. She took care of her mother who was very ill for a long time and she told all of us that she did not want any of us to take her in because of what she went through.
She lived on her own until she was almost 80, despite failing health and my dad having died 15 years before. When the time came that she knew she didn't have much longer she insisted on the nursing home and stayed there for a short time until she passed away and was buried next to my father on what would have been their 60th wedding anniversary.
I took in my grandmother (my mom's mother) for 3 months back when my mom and dad wanted to go to their winter home. It was hard, as gram was so sick, and I found myself at times wishing I hadn't agreed, but it was one of the best experiences of my life taking care of my grandmother and I'm glad that I had that time with her.
Would I have taken my mom in if she had asked? You betcha. In a heartbeat.
Been asked before
When will that buzzing noise stop. Am off of here until it does. I know that this has been asked before but it has been 3 days since it has started. Driving me nuts. Will try again next week to see if it has stopped.
I think I asked for too much...sm
I applied for a FT position with a large hospital in my area. I have 7 years experience doing the "basic four". On the online application it asked what I would want for a salary and I said $17.00 p/h. Then, when I thought about it, I wondered if I had asked for too much and maybe they wouldn't even contact me. I looked up the median income for my area and for working in a large hospital it said $25,000 to $29,000. So, any advice? Should I reapply with a lower demand? I figured if I gave them a higher number they would have something to work down from, but I think I went too high. I would really love to get back into a hospital and away from working from home. So....should I reapply? Any advice? Thanks in advance!
This is asked so often; wish there was a way to have a
nm
I should have asked for more lol
They didn't blink at $26. lol. Oh well, next time I'll know to charge more. I'm excited to be doing this project though.
There are a lot of "closet" Montana gals around here. :-)
Someone asked me to do that once -
I had almost forgotten - it was the worst thing I ever got into - and I have done textbooks and all kinds of MT. You couldn't tell who was who, some was not audible. Total nightmare.
Yes but you asked for her to tell you.
You can't fault her for knowing your dx when it is her job to type it up.
I asked my doc...
and she had no idea who did her transcription?! I think a lot of doctors are completely clueless, as their office managers/hospital set all of this up and the docs just sign the notes when they come in.
I asked here because
I felt I could get some sound opinions, but unfortunately, there is always someone who thinks you are doing something wrong. I am a single mom, have raised her without any help from her father or anyone else, have worked for 30 years as an MT and a large chunk will go to my church. I respect and value the opinions of fellow MTs (the majority of them) and I thought that was the purpose of this board, to ask for opinions and help when needed. I do know enough to speak to a financial planner but I wanted opinions on how I should handle the work situation.
Only asked for them once..
... several years ago after losing our first child I asked for all records from during my pregnancy. He was missing half his heart and somehow it wasn't noticed on any of the 3 ultrasounds I'd had. Also, I went in with my water broke 8 days after my last ultrasound and it wasn't in my chart that day, which I thought weird/unacceptable.
Found out they did not see the half of his heart but just wrote it off as being at a bad angle along with me being overweight.
Nothing that could be done about it after the fact, but I just had to know what happened and how such a thing was missed.
OK I THINK I asked this but anyone using a MAC
to work as an MT? If so, does it work seamlesssly with WORD?
When I get a new computer, I'd really like to toss PC for good.
I get asked how to become an MT a lot. .
The RN around the corner from me called me a couple of months ago and said that she wanted to ask me about that "little" job that I do at home. After biting my tongue, I just told her I went through a good medical transcription program that took about 13 months online, and the pay isn't that good at first. She said that she shouldn't have to take any classes because she was a nurse and knows how to type. I told her if she thinks she doesn't need any training to go ahead and apply. I gave her a list of companies and haven't heard from her since. Most people I have talked to just want to start working and think it is easy. I was a medical technologist for 20 years and most people thought all I did was draw blood. I figure this is along the same lines and don't really bother any more to explain what I do. They don't really seem to care anyway.
I would think that someone had asked for more --sm
work and that it had to come from somewhere..you. This happens, a lot, unfortunately.
You asked sm
ChartScript and Careflow: Terrible stuff, slow demos, weird font attributes.
MedRiteXL: It is okay. The demo screen puts you through a lot and there are not multiple ways to search for something. You can look up old reports, but that is a bit slow and cumbersome too. The actual document screen is nice and user friendly. I found it fairly fast.
MTWorld: I don't think there is anyone still using this. I have worked for 2 companies that did. If you have to look up a pt or other information, put in a cc or change a work type, it is awfully slow and you really do have ot know what you are doing to make it user friendly. I have to say, I thought this was the fastest platform I'd ever work on. I am wrong.
Bayscribe: In my book, this is a SICK JOKE. I found the ADT screens to be time consuming and confusing. Some companies have a ton of fields for it and some don't. The Expander in it is ridiculous. It won't cap the first word to save your life. You can't see how much work is available. You can look up old documents, if they are yours. It will give you a line count at the end of every document you send. I never got up any speed on it.
Winscribe: I think that is what it is called. I really liked this. I think the company I worked for who used it could have maximized it more. Some of the things you can do with it they didn't utilize and that was too bad. It could have been so much better.
Extext: FOR ME, this is the fastest easiest platform there is. I have had no issues getting the minimum line count and in fact, I started getting bonuses for production after the first 3 weeks I worked on it. I continue to love it.
Whatever it is that Keystrokes uses I didn't like very well, but that might be because I wasn't trained properly.
There is NOTHING a Word like or Word based platform can do that wasn't faster with WP5.1 for DOS.
Sorry I even asked
To all of you who have absolutely no heart - I AM FOLLOWING THE ACCOUNT INSTRUCTIONS!!!! I have no probem following the instructions - makes my job a lot easier. It is when the high-and-mightly QA does not follow the instructions and I am marked off for it that I have a problem.
With people like all of trying the "help" others, no wonder this profession is going down the tubes. Guess you all really have nothing positive and nice to say, so really I have nothing to learn from any of you.
I have asked that but never get a name. I can't believe I would be the only one so off.
nm
Well, since you asked
All the lucky MT's that have M-F day shift in Bangalore are probably on the system them and we can't have the pesky US-MTs slowing down the server, can we?
Glad you asked
Brach's Chocolate Stars
rofl. MD just came in and i asked, here's what he said
the pt has a "sort of meandering gait" LOL
The OP asked for their platform. A (sm)
platform is what you type on, which is word, NOT EXtext. That is the expander. I know, I work there!!
If you asked that 2 months ago
I would have told you MQ whom I was happily with for years and years but now I sorrowfully have to say, NOT HERE!
I don't think I asked about MQ. I just wanted to know the
Shorthand and Shortcut, so I can buy the best one.
So glad you asked!!
Ten years ago, I was paid by the word and that averaged out to about $34 an hour. With 16+ years of experience, my ability to earn just keeps going down, down, down with each passing year. I think when you have been in this business for 10+ years, you keep looking for that job that will bring you somewhere close to what you used to be able to earn, and it just isn't out there anymore, a very hard reality to face. I also used to sit down to a full day's work with plenty of job security. Now I find I must keep 2, 3 sometimes even 4 jobs going because companies are constantly running out of work, so not only is my income cut in half, I have to work 3 times harder to make what little I do. And don't EVEN get me started on what they pay editors, someone who is supposed to have the expertise to assure the accuracy of important medical documents is paid around $12 an hour or....oh my gosh 3 cpl. It is totally amazing to me what little monetary value is placed on those of us who have devoted years to being an MLS.
Update - we have asked a few of our MTs if they would be sm
interested in mentoring and of those that said yes, more than half would work in the office.
We thought the hard part would be to get some of our experienced MTs to work in the office but the hard part is going to be deciding the guidelines for the newbies and how to choose who is going to be part of the program. I think it will be geographical - it has to be worthwhile to come and work in the office without being too long of a commute.
Most of our MTs will continue as usual. Not all will be mentors, only a very small percentage.
The feedback has been great. Thank you all so much!
We were asked for opinions.
I gave mine.
I asked them if they did and reluctantly the
recruiter said they did "if the client requests it." I don't know in most cases that the client even knows about offshoring and why in the world would they request work to be offshored. I don't know that they are getting a break in the cost, because though the offshoring company is making a fraction of what an US MT would make, by the time they have to pay QA, and the greedy MTSO takes their cut I don't know there there is any price difference.
You asked? What else do you ask permission for? nm
x
Has anyone ever asked for a raise at OSi? (sm)
I have worked there for almost 3 years and am wondering if I have a shot at actually getting a raise? Thanks for any input anyone has!
Sick of being asked to
work on a Saturday afternoon and then logging in to do so and there being NO JOBS!!!! I really don't mind working on Saturday every once in awhile. I agreed to work today as I didn't have any prior plans with my son and my family. But I feel it is ridiculous for them to ask me to work because they "need the coverage" and then there is nothing for me to do. Next time, I'm saying NO WAY!!
I don't think it would be a problem if they asked....
however, I had a family member not only use it without asking, but changed the passwords in order to get to his mail (we used the same program) and favorite websites so that when he left, I had to change everything back again. I thought that was INCREDIBLY rude.... but hey, that's just me.
Okay. Since you asked, here's his picture.
This was taken last week. He's the guy in large picture, dead center, ( ) and I'm over on the right ( ) in the smaller photo with pony tail. Sorry, they snapped our photos so fast neither one of us had the chance to take our glasses off! LOL!
To see our pics go to

I am not sure as I have asked the same question.... sm
I asked that same question and they told me that they would have to special download the job to me to where I could hear voice with the dictation. I was not able to do it by myself. QA can, but I am not sure if it is on the transcription side after it is sent to the client. Maybe you can call Dictaphone and find out or ask you sup to give you the rights to look at a completed voice file. I was never told how to do it nor did I ever had one special done for me so I am not sure how it is done. Sorry.
Have you asked your doctor this?
We aren't doctors here, just typists for doctors.
Someone asked this recently and several
mentioned the same reasonably priced vacuum (yes, some also loved their Dyson's, but I'm with you on the price). Sorry, I can't remember which one it was (maybe a Eureka something???), but I do remember the same one coming up three or four times in the thread. Search the archives. Good luck to you! (p.s. I'm coming back to search the archives myself when I'm ready to buy again).
