In Reply to: not me saying those things - cj
At least that's my take on it. It's clear you went out of your way to write to that AHDI person and obtain and post her (mis)information-filled reply, and for that I, and everyone else who calls themselves a true AMERICAN MT, thank you! Knowledge is power, and MTs need as much of both as they can possibly get these days.
Kudos for your investigative endeavors!

Thanks for your help, I am going to check into that one. :)
thanks for replying!
I am in my 24th year of transcribing! I'm not alone but at times very frustrated...

Thanks for replying...
there's good and bad in there, I guess. I have heard that people in different locations will get different speeds (no matter what speed they are paying for), and that makes me a bit nervous. But stability is just as, or even more important, and it sounds like its been really stable for you. So I'm taking heart and keeping my fingers crossed! Thanks! 
Thanks so much for replying
I was beginning to think no one would reply for fear of Big Brother watching!
ideally!..:) Thanks for replying. nm

Thanks for replying, thought I might
know you - wasn't intending to make anyone un-anonymous or flame, just wanted to say hi if it was who I thunk it might be. Oh well!
Thanks for replying. I have noticed that there seem to be a lot of ads ... sm
that mention this. I am thinking of seeing if I can train on it. I currently work in DOS so at least I am used to that part. I usually use ShortCut for Windows but I do have ShortHand also but am not as familiar with it. Just thinking about it - thanks again for your help.
Thanks for replying. May I ask how long it took you
finish your degree?
Thanks for the encouragement also.
replying to viv's response on 9/13/08
Oh you think that my grammatical style is bad huh? I just went and reread it and being that I don't feel it was bad. I had to state my point and no it wasn't me! Things just didn't mesh for me and that company! They got a second chance and proved themselves the same! Have you or do you work for this company? Who are you to judge anyways? This board is for posting stuff that most of us posters feel is important for others to see or hear. If I wanted someone like you to comment...I would have asked ok! I am coming along almost a month later because I was working my a** off at a real great place! Sometimes on this posting board thing we don't always type grammatically correct it is not a prerequiste for the posters as I see others not always being grammatically correct! So again I do not know who you are but just yourself let it go cause that last post I made was going to be the last one till I see this! Thanks for caring though! mtinsd
replying to job posting
I am not sure if I am doing this correctly. I have tried to reply to several job postings and I never hear anything back. If they don't list an email in the job posting I click on apply now, is this correct?
I have been an MT for over five years, have experience with many different specialities and ESL dictators, so I think my resume is pretty good.
Frustrated with work. I have lost about 6-7 really good doctors over the last 1-1/2 years to VR. The company I work for says they have no control over who gets switched to VR and are not notified when this happens. I will have a great work load and then all of a sudden nothing. Now it seems like there isn't much work to go around.
Anon, which post are you replying to?
????????????
Thank you so much for replying - that gives me some guidelines to follow
nm
I thought replying might be a "boost"...
so they would know it was coming from one of their own ads and not just an unsolicited resume. Well, shoot! I'll be sure to send a followup email to make sure they got it. Thanks!
Does anyone actually take the time to read the posts BEFORE replying?
been "mentoring" with them for 9-months.....so Yes, she has already been taken for the $$$, and obviously being shot down saying she is not quite good enough yet to "work" for them. ---Ever now and then someone will come on and say they "work" for them and how great they are, but its a bunch of bunk, look at the archives, 99% negative, total scam all the way. Sorry you got taken.
I was replying to a previous post about Bucky.
One poster said that Kellie made Southerners look stupid and one poster said Bucky might get the boot. I was responding to them in my post.
not the poster you are replying to, but I loved Lorenzo's Oil and Pay

Thanks for replying. I'll check out 2003.

Apparently replying to you. Thats the problem with MTs today.
NOBODY looks over their stuff. The new MTs are taught to hurry, hurry, type, type so you can make lines. When I was learning MT, not at an MT school but in college with my other medical records classes, THEY TAUGHT ACCURACY.
You MTs today dont have a lick of pride in your work, else there would be no mistakes like food instead of foot.
typo? that is a flipping copout.
I work for the person. I know. Very excellent person, personally and business-sense.
It is an INSULT to have QA hovering over seasoned MTs who know what they are doing. She trusts her MTs and again if there are questions there is one person, a trainer, who can answer them via phone, e-mail or instant message or you can send the whole report to them if you choose.
Point was is the person willing to make up for the slack of the person who types 1 job when there is
if that is all they WANT to type. Is the person who wants to be a supervisor willing to make up for those people?
You have crap supervisors, editors and mts in the business like you have good ones. Sadly, the really good ones of all of them are few and far between.
When you have a QA person that is picky and another QA person that is very lenient where does that
leave the MTs because some are getting a lenient reviewer and others are getting one that picks at everything. How do you reconcile that issue with the difference in QA mentality. Some people make out well and the other people could be just as good but dont. I wonder about that.
The person MTSO pays is the person who

One person's "custom" is another person's
"house arrest". I'd never go to the Middle East because of how they treat women. I don't agree with their laws or "justice" system. For example, the woman who was gang raped as punishment for the actions of her 12-year-old brother, a boy who wasn't even an adult. How's that for a "custom"? Let's not forget bride burning. Burqas.
Besides, foreigners don't follow our "customs" when they come to this country. Half of them don't even bother learning English. Instead, we're expected to pay for healthcare and foodstamps for illegals and print everything in Spanish.
I won't be oppressed or treated as a second class citizen, and I wouldn't treat others like that either. A "custom" is more like putting up a Christmas tree, not being abused based on your gender.
i'm sure it will vary from person to person.
I recently did the same thing and am loving it! The freedom from time clocks, the better company, make losing the benefits well worth it to me. You need to set up a plan to have $ set aside for taxes though. I should have done this years ago!
Wrong person. I'm not the person you were
any money. You have a sucky attitude, a "poor me" attitude. Get off your lazy whiny a$$ and work instead of complaining and you will make money. I have one account at 10.5 cpl, two at 14 cpl and one at 15 cpl. I make a lot of money, even on the 10.5 cpl. But I'm not sitting around whining either. And I didn't whine when I made $6 an hour.
The one person I know who his doing VR....
isn't filling in words, she's having to reconfigure and restructure to the entire report, to the point it would be much easier and faster to just transcribe it. And over several months' time, it hasn't gotten one iota better. I'll believe the "fill in the word" editing when I see it.
like the person below said------
no friend of medical transcriptionists for one thing
and when I met her my only thought was well that must have been
the personification of Marian the Librarian.
I would have thought she'd have retired to a garden pruning weeds by now and gotten her extremism out of our lives. But no such luck.
This person cannot
do anything unless he has a document that was signed by your daughter indicating that he loaned her money using the motorcycle as collateral. To get this person to leave you alone, you may want to have an attorney give this person a call to pose this question (regarding signed doc). I have had a situation occur, not necessarily like yours, but I needed an attorney to write a letter in order to cease the situation and the attorney only charged my $50. The letter took care of the problem.
This person (Taz) is
a perfect example of what I just stated. This world is going to hell in an elaborately decorated hand basket.
So one person (YOU) is MOST MT's?
I make more than you do anyway and I left MT so LOL yourself and good luck finding a job in 5-10 years when this one goes the way of the mule skinner.
wonder if it's the same person?
From VA?

QA person here(sm)
I QA by cutting and pasting the error; preferably as much of the sentence as I can so they at least have an idea of what I am correcting and why. I also cut and paste my corrections. I also give them hints on how to research, including links.
I'm not sure that (d) up there sounds very nice. New MTs CAN be taught a great deal, but to have that "edge" on them only scares them more. I've been on both ends, as a beginning MT and as QA. I remember the feedback that helped me most and it was often delivered in a friendly helpful manner, no warning shots, etc.
As the other person said, Go For It!
It was supposed to be a 2 year course at the Community College, but the way that the courses were setup and with working, took me 2 1/2 years. Not bad for an *ol' gal!* Was just very proud of myself because at the time, I had a hunch that some people around me were thinking *she'll never do it,* and I did, with flying colors!! I'm sure you have some support behind you, so you should be good to go!! Anyway, if you don't do it, you'll always be wondering *what if,* so just do it!! Like a friend asked me, "But I'll be 10 years older when I finish?!" My answer, "You'll be 10 years older if you don't." LOL!
I'm not so sure it's that person....sm
It could be anyone of about a hundred malcontents. You cannot *assume* on these boards - only the Administrator and Moderators could verify if it's that poster or not. Personally, I don't care who the posters are in reality. I just think what with all the strife going on in the world EVERYWHERE that people/posters should just be a tad kinder in the life.
Envy is fine - envy is like you're happy for that person but wish you were *there* - whereas jealousy (albeit it might be universal) is very unhealthy and nasty, negative, and people wishing to take other people down notches by posting nasty remarks. Oh well, some people just are more comfortable with the negative and nasty in life (guess their cups are always half empty) - but some of us choose to be positive and not nasty (cups being half full). It's all a matter of choice.
Take care and have fun!!
Go by in person??

QA person from MQ please
Hi I have a friend considering changing compaines and coming in as a QA person. She is on the fence can anyone give me some feedback is MQ QA any good, what and how do they pay...Do they treat you ok? She is in the grass is greener syndrome working at another co. I just left MQ for another field I wasn't happy as an MT. Trying to help out a friend thats all..
QA Person
Thank you so much! I feel so much better having heard from you today. I have had the hyphen battle with this person in QA forever it seems and I have continued to follow as shown in the Book of Style. In my heart of hearts I felt I was correct. I plan to take your much appreciated advice and keep typing it the way I have been. I am so thrilled to know that a person in QA agrees that at times the MT gets mixed signals. Now I do not feel so alone. At times I wonder if some people in QA forget how it was before they were in those shoes. I have 2+ years experience and at times I still feel like a newbie fresh out of school. Just wish some QA would be more tolerant -- especially when the MT really does follow the Book of Style. Thanks again!!! Bless you!!! Wish you were my QA . . . at least you seem like you can still relate to how difficult the MT work can be on the otherside of the fence.
Said something about 6 cpl from a person
whose English was atrocious. This person really should pay someone to hire them.
This person is not looking for *help*. sm
She is looking for employees by asking for help and then sending you an email asking for your resume. something suspicious here.
this person is probably just......
trying to protect his or her own job security, so the company does not get job overhire! I would probably do the same. I found my own really good job after 7 years of searching, and I LOVE IT!
I'd tell her RIGHT NOW that the person isn't
if you are going to continue to proof her work. No sense in dragging it out. If someone is going to make it as an MT, you know that fairly quickly.
Please tell me what a person is doing
when the scope is used. I have seen it and do not know exactly what they are doing. Thanks.
You are not the same person.

Maybe the only person they could get who would - (sm)
"speak for 6 cents a line?"
MT person
Well in 4 hours I did over 1600 lines @.125 per line plus one hour of printing and delivering and that equals over $200 which equals $40 to $50 per hour.
And to think we would allow this person to
