I will not put up with lousy

accounts solely to profit the MTSO and doctors. The bottom line is if they can't provide me with profitable accounts, I'm outta there. I am so tired of being given the ESL and rambling dictators just because "nobody else can do them." TOUGH! Why should I make peanut wages doing the tough work because other people can't hack it?

Ever think that maybe 15% is going to QA because of LOUSY DICTATION? nm

I must have a really lousy account.
I can do anywhere from 100-150 lines per hour at my job WITH an expander. I rarely have to look anything up, except for patient information and addresses, which is time consuming and really annoying. The work is not difficult at all, but needs to be "cleaned up". However, I felt completely inadequate seeing my crummy production rate. That is, until I figured out my lines per hour with my small IC account. 210 lines per hour WITHOUT an expander. And this guy pays me by the gross page. Imagine what I could do for him WITH my expander. Hmmm.... Gonna have to think about what I'm going to do here to even out this production disparity. I wish I could find another job like this guy.
Not a lousy reason!!!!
since it only takes a course that you can take on-line!!! 
I can't believe what a lousy attitude this MT has
That certainly isn't the way to get a better raise next time. If I were in your position, I would start training someone else for this job. When that person is up to speed, sayonara, Ms. Bad Attitude.
Lousy dictators
Hospitals and clinics have no policy or rules against speaking to a physician about his lousy dictating habits; however, they just dread the situation. I've been there and done that.
For those working within the hospital, you usually know which docs you can and can't speak to about this. Seems their egos are so fragile they might bruise, but really, who cares? We are talking patient care, which is what all of this is supposed to be about, right?
MR directors are usually the ones put in charge of "talking" to them or transcription supervisors but it all depends on the doc. Some are open to suggestions and really don't realize they sound so pathetic. Others know and just simply don't care...like I said before; they think they are gods and no one should dare approach them and even if you do, they then make snide comments while dictating and I have seen them get even lousier with their dictation....which says what about them? They DO NOT care about the patients, just themselves....
How about fine for lousy .... SM
dictations? It costs us time and money with every ..uh ... aah ... ug..."The patient ..(shuffles paper) ... is a ... no, this is the wrong chart" .  ... zzzzzzzzzzz .. 
"Okay, let's start again", please go back up to the top .... "Please delete that first paragraph " ... hiccough ..... aaaach ....  Uh ..... ...hmmm ... let's see...
lousy accounts/dictators
I also lost my best & longest account because the hospital did not renew their contract...so ok, took the bait about a new account with great dictators, their biggest unbreakable rule is it is VERBATIM all the way, don't clean up the doc, etc.
Have the nicest sounding, very polite, all american dictator who can not keep his concentration or needs to go to MT school, I swear. I actually typed the report verbatim...then counted all the Patient's, patient...both billaterally...15, count them,15 times throughout the report!!! If I could have put in the ummms, and ugh's, I would have made my line count just on his dictation alone
Are you a bad MT with lousy quality work?
My calls are answered immediately, i've been on the same account for years, i'm praised for my work, receive emails thanking me. Maybe its YOU and not THEM?
No...not Mass....but QA is pretty lousy
this isn't the first time I've had trouble with them.
If you're lousy at speaking up for yourself,
It sounds awful, I know. But you've just got to TRY to get past that uncomfortableness! If you don't speak up for yourself, no one else will. Don't sign that contract. Call them up and tell them you need to raise your line rate. Raise it a reasonable amount, and stick to your guns! I know it's scary, but there are a lot of places out there hiring if your current place is going to walk all over you. Good luck!
Even to start with, $14.00 an hour is lousy pay for ANY MT work...NM
?
a good post, NOT; lousy focus you have
first you sling insults at MQ as a 'nonbusiness' -- do NOT back up your accuations with anything whatsoever substantial and then drift into 'mumbo-jumbo' about how the profession has degenerated --
MQ is the giant because they are VERY good at business -- and they give me and lots of other MTs a fabulous job and are always improving as a company...as far as the profession, yes it is changing, as everything else in our world. So we either adapt, or get left behind and whine. If you are all that unhappy, it looks like time for you to move on to greener pastures in another line of work.
I wouldn't work as an MT for a lousy $7.50 an hour OR
.
oops, meant yes, it is a lousy wage
