Can you post initials of company you work for? I'd hate to go thru all those docs. Thx. nm

Someone else using my initials
I'll try to make this as brief as possible. I starting doing IC transcription for a medical office with six physicians. One physician was using a company in the state that outsourced work and continued to do so. The work was uploaded via voice files, etc. I was paid to proof and print that dictation for that particular physician. Well, their work was extremely inaccurate and the OM decided to no longer use their service. She informed them of such and told them that I would be doing this particular doc's dictation from now on. I was told today by the OM that there were four final dictations from that group to print out. Upon going to the web site and downloading the four dictations, I noticed that MY initials were being used as having transcribed the dictation. They were called and asked if they had a Transcriptionist with my initials - to which they replied they didn't. THe work is horrible and I would never return dictation with so many errors and such "broken" language. I don't think I'm being paranoid in thinking this group used my initials to make it appear that such inaccurate work was my work. Were I the not the one printing the work, I probably would never have known this and the doctor would have read it, noticed my initials and stroked out thinking he had gone from worse to pathetically worse.
How would you handle this? Granted, the office isn't using them now, but I'm outraged and I think something needs to be done. Thanks.
initials
Don't let this be a problem for you. Change your initials ASAP. Change them to 3 characters (at least because that decreases the odds of identical initials), and make sure those 3 characters are WEIRD and UNIQUE, such as QPZ or XBJ, or something like that. As long as your own supervisor knows who you are and what initials you use, you do not need to worry about "fooling" anyone, as long as you use those initials consistently and do not change them around. Don't let anyone challenge you on it. Just say, "Those are my initials," and leave it at that. You do not owe anyone an explanation (other than your supervisor). Doctors could care less.
Then, if the outsourcing individuals do copy your initials, you know that somethin' funny's goin' awn .... they are, in effect, stealing your transcription identity. So, don't dwell on what to do -- just CHANGE your initials and plow forward. Good luck to you!
no, different initials- KP--- nm

ARE THEIR INITIALS - SB and GB
Since I do not wish to publish names and point a finger - I know the MTSO I work for had to fire two editors. One was caught working for two MTSOs concurrently and atleast for my employer claimed to produce the work which is humanly not possible. The second one simply did not work but turned in $3,600 paycheck request anyway. Work yes but freebee no.
Just so you know. If you use your initials NM
to post on message boards, it is the abbreviation for No Message. Meaning everything said is in the subject line. So you might miss a lot of readers by putting NM. We're all programmed to skip on by....
NM are my initials -
Oops
Initials NM
Someone posted on one of the boards that NM were their initials. She can't very well change her name.
where was this, initials only sm
We need to know enough to stay away, some of these people are plain nuts.
Can you tell us who this is or give us the initials? nm

and aa and jb are my full initials so no need to qa it

Someone is also using KS on this page as their initials.

can you give the initials of this co
so we can be forewarned please. Realize this does go on and don't want to work for any place that does this to MTs.
I think the initials of that company might have a MQ in them.
I had the same experience. Once I finally got a computer and finished training, my one contact was out of town for a week at a seminar for supervisors. I totally fell through the cracks.
Is the owner's initials AM? sm
If so, her rudness ran me away
Can you give us a clue? Initials?

Glad they are gone! Can you tweak your initials to something else

She was from Texas. May be the same person. Initials BF?

I was scammed by someone on this board with the initials K.P. `sm`
I purchased a c-phone from someone named Kristen in Oklahoma. She gave me a similar story. First she mailed it, then she lost the receipt for the post office, then her grandmother died, then her daughter had cancer and then her husband left her. I paid her $225. My computer crashed and I had to buy a new one so I lost some of the information regarding this but my old computer is now fixed and I have most of the emails that she sent me and that I sent her. I also have my copy of my priority mail slip and money order that I sent her. Besides scamming people out of money, isn't she doing something illegal because she is using the U.S. mail to do it? I was going to just let it go but now reading these posts that she is still doing it and that she is such a liar and crook, it makes me want to pursue it especially when I work my butt off for my money.
Who cares, we all have the same initials at one time or another. nm

Sorry about the NM-forget to change my initials
>>>
who pays attention to those initials anyway?
But I still know what you mean. I sometimes type things that I don't agree with. But his opinions, his take, I am just the MT.
When I was an IC, I just used my initials like this: "XXX Transcriptions, Inc"
NM means "no message," so why are you looking? 
I put the other MTs initials with min when combining reports. nm
It sort of surprises me when we get in an uproar about our initials
on a document when we think we are so right, but are not as concerned when QA fixes it when we were wrong and sent it in with our initials. I would just worry about doing the best you can and let the rest take care of itself. ((hugs))
Don't waste your time, with your experience, you don't need those initials (nm)

Can you give the initials of this company? Sure don't want to apply here! Feel bad for you. nm

gross line is anything on a line, even just your initials. sm
spaces really don't matter in a gross line count.
Anything on a line (even just initials) is considered a line.
I prefer to use the 65-character line count (including spaces).

Yes, I tried to post same last night about 10 times, and it won't let me post.
I used to breed lab puppies (please no activist flames)! I had a champion female white Canadian lab, and people would be on a list for years if by chance I bred her, which I did twice, and so that I could continue her line. Anyhow, she's my sweet Skye who passed away 2 months ago? At any rate, we had the same problems with kids in the "hood" who wanted to come over and play once the puppies were old enough to be exercised daily and played with. At first I thought, how cute, right? Puppies and little kids - what better picture! Well, the majority of kids were adorable, but there were always 1 or 2 sick ones who would smack the pups, smash and hold their heads in the dirt (a real common thing, but I don't know why - psychiatrist anyone). At any rate, I finally had to ban the whole group due to the 1 or 2 creeps, had to call the police, the whole 9 yards, and that's EXACTLY what the police officer told me - next thing is there will be poison meat or a donut in the yard. He told me to always go out and patrol my yard, especially alone the fence line every day before I let the dogs out, particularly at night. I went out with a flashlight. It was about a month later, but sure enough - poison meat. Because there were so many kids involved, we obviously couldn't pin point the exact family, but the police went and read the riot act to them all. It would stop and not happen again for a year or so, but every now and again we would find something. My dogs were NEVER out and barking, so it was nothing like that - it was just over the puppies and the cruel kids.... Not trying to freak you, but that's the way these kids and their families are. You can really judge someone's character by ill treatment of a PUPPY, of all things. And the parents?? They sound whacked. Please be careful.
Sorry, I posted this post under the wrong post

Ah, I really meant to post that under the original post
Though it was gourdpainter's post which inspired me to post that suggestion.

Here's an URL for the medical transcription division of PRN Funding, BTW:

what mean post made you post your post
 Which mean post was the straw that broke the poster's back.
Yes, she had post partum depression AND post partum psychosis. I posted on this a while back, and
it explained the two. The psychosis actually develops after the depression. Scary stuff.
