IC Contract question...I feel dumb here! sm
Posted By: Worried MT on 2009-04-08
In Reply to:
I signed a one year contract last September as an IC for a MTSO I'm now unhappy with. The platform is slow and difficult, templates outdated and sloppy, and only 7 cpl. Of course, signing the contract on day one, I had no idea of what was to come and now am interested in searching for something else. I understand all the non-compete clause, etc., that is binding, but am I stuck with them for a full year?
I feel ashamed that I didn't know what I was getting into when signing this, both the quality of their system as well as how bound I would be to them. This is (obviously) my first go-round with contracts and have always left other MTSO's on mutual, friendly terms. Any advice?

No, No, Never Feel Dumb!!
I recall many years ago, what I thought was perfecto mundo reports come back by my mentor red marks all over!!!Hang in There! I probably still need someone to look at my work every now & then.
Mentoree made to feel DUMB
I am so angry because I feel like the lady at this company I am mentoring with treats me like I am DUMB. I am new to this field but far from being DUMB. When I ask for clearity on something it is like her response is demeaning. I don't know if it is just me or it seems like there are people in this field that are just rude. I don't want to appear ungrateful for have the opportunity to have a company mentor me but I AM NOT DUMB!!!!!!!
I don't what to snap back at her in her emails for fear of losing the opportunity. Any advice?
I feel dumb asking this question, but here goes - I space or two after the end of a sentence? nm

"How dumb am I" to lose a CD-ROM? Oh, about as dumb as the rest of us. nm

Contract/no contract -- same rights
You do not have to have a written contract to take them to court. All you have to do is to prove you have been providing work to him, past statements/invoice will do that, you just fill out the small claims forms and go to court. But first of all I would personally go in and talk with someone about it. Could be the office manager/bookkeeper and not the doctor that is not paying you. He may not know anything about it. And please do not make the "joke" as above mentioned, that is very LOW class, tacky and not professional at all. Especially if you are in a small area -- you need to conduct like a professional. But call and make an "appointment" to talk with the doctor either in person or through a phone call. Some doctors do not know what is going on in their office and perhaps the office manager wants to be paid first. If the doctor does know, then in person or over the telephone inform him that you have no other choice but to pursue the debt just as they would if someone did not pay their bill and if that involves going to small claims court, then that is the route you must take. Good luck. I did take one to court without a contract and won.
if you feel like that after 12 years, and I feel like that after six months
what hope is there?
I feel people who feel like this post
needs to a) either be a stay at home mother and not work or b) realize that she is no queen bee and I could care less about a degree. What company out here that you know of compensates for having a degree? Means nothing to them. Your working and being there when they assign/need/require/whatever is what you should do IF YOU WANT A JOB in this field, otherwise get out and do something else or become that babysitter.
Are you that dumb to know that there were sm
prisoners also at the Superdome in New Orleans. You act like everyone was a rapist, or trigger happy. As far as looters, if I had children and there was a bottle of water and bread in a store damn straight I would take it and feed my children. Many of those people worked and lost their jobs in LA, AL, and MS. You are just a bitter person.
not as dumb as you think?

Coronary artery bypass graft.
No, not dumb! Actually, yes, I did. None of
the buttons work though, just the calc/clear button (very top right on the bottom bottons) work.
DUMB-DUMB
Okay, I downloaded Express scribe, when I use the load button and enter the FTP address, nothing happens. I must be missing an obvious step, so obvious I cannot see it. I hope this is all worth it!
dumb me... but......
Applying for jobs that state much have WAV pedal.... USB will not work... so what now? Am I screwed? I have a laptop and went and bought an adapter for a 9-ping foot pedal. Is there a web site that I can go to to do a test practice with? Dumb-me. trying to get a job......
Maybe a dumb
question but are you talking about the "Gab room" for the chat?
how dumb are you to even go there?: NM
.
ok, maybe I'm dumb but
what is an STM? "Something" transcription manager? Are you by chance inundating her with requests or is it that she just does not acknowledge any of your e-mails? I don't think I'd put up with being ignored for too long. I'd seriously consider going over her head or looking elsewhere for work.
Count me as a dumb MT if
you want. It made perfect sense to me.
This may sound dumb, but..
where is the chat room?
Dumb dictation
Review of systems was not obtainable from the baby, obviously, due to the baby's age of one month. Review was obtained from parents. DUH!!!!
dumb dictation
Don't you just love these..I had one with the 11 MO understanding the assessment and agrees with the treatment!
dumb as a box of rocks (don't ask me!)
dumb as a bag of hair (No, I don't get it either!)

he's so dumb he got hit by a parked car
I'm gravida 0 and I have a dumb ?
If you are 9 mos. pregnant and in the hospital for induction, on abdominal exam, can your abdomen actually be *soft*?
I have felt pg bellies, and they are not soft. Why do they always say this? It doesn't make sense to me, but then I have no personal experience with it.
dumb question. sm
If you make a mistake while typing and you know it, do you correct it then, or do wait until you spellcheck to correct ? I tend to correct it when I see it, but began to wonder if it would be more productive to wait until I run spellcheck to catch it.
What a dumb response.
...sheesh....
feeling dumb......
when the doctor says dig level in the labs is he meaning digitalis level? my Expander expands dig to digoxin and I never thought to change it. I know digoxin toxicity is dangerous. I have never gotten feed back on this potentially dangerous (?) blooper.
There are also those that pretend to be dumb so they don't have to. sm
And those that call in sick every other day, that if they were really sick that often, they should be in nursing home.
Needless to say, I got out of supervising because I did not want to hate people anymore, and I could be petty like everybody else and get away with it like everybody else.
I've got wounds to nurse...
So why did she marry him, cause she's dumb, or it
was a coverup.
Dumb question of the day!!!
 What does MTSO stand for? I told you it was dumb.
Might be a dumb question, but...
I got an awesome poster on ebay that came in the mail yesterday. The one end of the cardboard tube was dented quite badly, causing the one side of the poster to be rather wrinkled.  Is there anything to be done for it? I'm hoping that maybe putting it in the poster frame I got for it might help. Any other suggestions?
No, not a dumb question....
From what I gathered on Google, it is transcribing what the court reporter types into a readable document.
Got it thanks all - felt so dumb and my
teenager wasn't home.
now thats a dumb question lol
let's use some wisdom here...
Have you ever heard the saying dumb
as a gourd?
We're not dumb, BUT
You really have to develop a thick skin regarding criticism. And you'll even make yourself feel dumb sometimes!
There is no other career that will make you feel like a rocket scientist and an abject failure all in the span of a 3-minute dictation!
You have to take the lesson in whatever form you get it and then let the rest go. Don't nurse grudges, it'll just give ya ulcers!
Hate to appear dumb, but what is VBC?

I used to be young and dumb but
when I came into some money, quite a bit of it, paid all my bills off. I only have my monthly bills now, utilities and such. It is a wonderful feeling but to the original post, it is here money and really if she wants to burn it, she can.
Not a dumb question, the way I see it...
Did you ever think she was just trying to make pleasant conversation about what happened to your daughter. I would not see question as dumb or unimportant. It certainly doesn't matter if she was, in fact, taking her history,but if she was just trying to be friendly then it's called 'engaging' the patient in conversation about her injury.
dumb question!
Hi! If you are responding to a job posting on the job seekers board and you hit "apply now," does it actually go to the person who is looking to hire or do you have to send it as a completely separate e-mail. I'm asking because there is no identifying information when you reply to the ad. Thanks!
How dumb am I feeling right now?
I have a CRNP who must think MTs are not very intelligent.
So far, she has spelled: passed (not once, but twice!), spleen, and clicks.
you are young and dumb. The nerve of you to say
why have children if you are going to put them in daycare. When I was going to graduate school and working I became pregnant. I didn't expect my husband to quit his job and I sure enough was going to stop graduate school my six months. My triplets went to daycare and was fine.
How dumb are you? Evidently you fell from somewhere.

How dumb are YOU to stick with a co you think is cheatin' ya?!
Geez.
Companies make changes period. I have no idea whether MQ cheated you or not.
If you're not making money, there's PLENTY of other places to work.
Your whining, cryin' song-and-dance routine is old stuff and doesn't draw the crowds anymore. It's a has-been show.
Don't like it? Leave!
Takes a real dumba** to stick around and take the abuse if that's what they PERCEIVE is happening to themselves.
Hey, if I'm not getting paid - I move on!! Not as dumb as you are!
LOL
Me thinks 5th graders would think it's really dumb. nm

Dumb question. Can someone tell me how to make
I doubt that. She was dumb enough to marry him.
I hate to sound dumb
If you do the extension and file later, but still have to pay the tax now, how do you know how much tax to pay?
never noticed him sounding dumb, but
the deodorant thing I did not know about. ICK!!!!! That knocked him down a few notches in my mind. LOL.
Still can't stand George Clooney though. Especially what comes out of his mouth. He probably stinks too. LOL.
um...this may sound like a dumb question but--sm
since a digital voice player is used only to play voice files on your computer, and as long as you can play them, what difference does it make what supplier it is from??? How would the *service* know what player you used. It has nothing to do with the quality of the product you are sending back. It is not stamped saying *used with gearplayer or express scribe*...so, unless it is on a computer that is provided by a service, how would they know what you use to play your voice files? I just would like to know that. thanks
