Yes, I had a period, no joke, for 5 months of pregnancy.
Doc didn't understand, baby was healthy, born on time, no complications.
Here's the deal. The only way to avoid the pre-existing waiting period (usually 12 months) is to
insurances..Even at that, say you have coverage until the end of July miss August and get new insurance September 1, your new insurance cant do a 12-month waiting on you for pre-existing but they can make you wait that 1 month that you didnt have insurance so...in effect, if you new insurance starts on Sept 1..it wouldnt have to cover a preexisting problem until October 1 cuz you missed a month. My advice.. keep the Cobra.. I know it's a fortunate but if you had any kind of complication or anything related to a preexisting and you have to miss a month of coverage..it could be really painful. Let me know if you have any more questions.
I find it odd that no one knows what the MQ incentive plan is and wont for several months but
you have been hired on the new incentive plan. Somehow I am sorry but this whole thing just doesnt ring true. I just doesnt gel with what we were just told by email and snail mail by the CEO.
You're confusing the new QA plan with the new pay plan. New pay plan is still completely under wr
Shhhhhhhhhhh....
Late period, test negative, 1 week later my period arrived.
To be honest, when I did become pregnant, I knew it right away. Sounds weird, but I just knew and it showed up on HCG test at 4 weeks.
Sometimes, you just know! Good luck whatever results you have.
Actually, chosing "cap after period" will not force a period in the instances I mentioned. --
Even with it checked, it WILL NOT cap after a number with a period in it. Like "white count 14.1. hemoglobin 10.9.
If you know of a way that it WILL, let us all know. I have never had a version of Word that will work that way. Always puts in the lower case, even though there is a period there.
Imail
It came through the Q-news thingy that we get through Imail. I still have it, dated July 5, which is the first time I was aware of it. I can forward it to you if you'd like.
Imail, can someone please tell me: sm
Where/when did we get the notice about Imail being shutoff and how/where to access the new system. I have looked thru all my imail and snail mail correspondence and have found nothing? Did anyone else not know this was going to change? I can't believe I missed this.
Still can't get Imail... what am I
I put www.mail.medquistmail.com into my address bar and nothing comes up. Am I using the right address? Help!
jokes in imail
I for sure, would be forwarding those right on to someone in corporate, maybe even under the Ask Frank site
"period, period, period..."
Yes I've transcribed for an MD who said this constantly while he was trying to think of what he would dicate next. I also had one who would say "ahhhhhhhhhh....." for what seemed like an eternity!! So annoying isn't it!
Have not received either imail or letter
regarding this subject. Would someone please summarize such email/letter in a post for us who have not received this info as of yet. TYIF
No Imail. Just call Georgia.

Didn't you just love it before imail --
in the days of "bulletin board" for emails, when you could call the office and talk to a human who cared about you as a person, rather than a number, knew you by name and voice. Those were the good ole days with MQ.
So much has changed in the past year or two with MQ -- closing down offices and regionalizing offices, DQS used for switching MT's from one account to another, rather than letting us remain on the accounts of which we have become familiar, and which accounts we could make money on. The supes just can't leave us alone anymore since DQS -- STAT'ing jobs from one account to another account to us, slowing us down to read account specifics, instead of allowing us to remain on our familiar accounts so that WE CAN MAKE SOME MONEY AT THIS PROFESSION ! Pools are just not getting it anymore -- queue's have taken over! There is no way that one MQ MT can get the work types/horrible dictators report after report when we are working strictly from a pool ! DQS is great otherwise -- the MT-friendly software that it is in other ways ! But MQ management is not looking for MT-friendly anything anymore -- what stuffs their pockets fuller !
MedQuist? Ctrl+shift+F, period, space, tab, period, space, space, change all. nm
.
when Frank fixes Imail, then I might get his letter.
I have no idea. There is another imail this morning about better TAT and more executives being
hired. All I ever hear anymore from people that work at other companies is all the work they are getting from MQ accounts that are leaving MQ because of the over billing, etc. Things are not getting better and they just keep pushing us with more and more things and hiring more and more executives.
I never even signed up for MQ imail. Glad I didn't
Now, back to work. :)
I refuse to go to Imail...I've gotten a virus from there and so have many other people. nm

I am talking about the QA plan I dont know what the new pay plan is.
:
$32K/part time 6 months/full time 6 months
I have kept my child home with me half the year, but when pre-K started I began working full time. Helps to only have a main account and one backup account for the 2nd year now, so my abbreviation program rocks and rolls when I focus.
I don't know about that, but I do know that towards the end of pay period...
when we run out of work, I have to call in and have them special-assign me the ASR reports that just sit there like a lump and can't come to me automatically anymore since I don't (and won't) do ASR. Getting sick of it, too.
At least I do know what's going on now, after researching it via various sources. I pity the others who don't know and just assume there's totally no more work on the account at that point without checking. Those ASR reports do "turn over" at some point and go automatically to whoever's on, but they have to just sit there for awhile first, waiting for an ASR MT to come and do them. Isn't that just GREAT for patient care, too?
I was 26 before I got my first car, period!
b
Period, period, period, uh, uh
Didn't someone around here (in a dictator gripe thread) talk about how one of thier dictators would "fill the space/silence" by repeating "period, period, period, period"??? This has GOT to be the same guy that I've got right now! How very annoying! He can sure make 5.5 minutes feel like an ETERNITY!!
I think I would prefer the ones that "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" or hummmmm or something to this "period, period, period, uh, uh, uh, period, period" crapola! Yikes! Somebody save me!
12,000 a pay period is FT.

At MQ we are to space once after a period.
That just changed in the last 6 months.
End of pay period every other week.
I hope they do away with IC status with new pay plan. SE's have to turn in a schedule, so I think the IC should also turn in schedule and adhere to that schedule, rather than pouncing on the work at the end of each pay period the last 3 or 4 days of the pay period and getting their lines then -- leaving employee status MQ MT's to be without work. I dread this each and every end of PP, as they do all the easy work, then leave the "junk" to us to scramble for. But the IC's disappear on the 1st and 16th of each and every month until the last days of the PP once again, and they show their faces !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is what they say in Britain for period. sm
They call a Z a zed, and quotation marks are called inverted commas. These docs must have been educated in British-influenced schools.
Exactly! One board is all we need - PERIOD
No wonder this board is deserted.
One space or two after a period.
Which is the correct way, one space or two spaces after a period in medical transcription?
Thanks for any help in advance.
IC who works when she wants. Period! sm
Yes. You read that correctly. She only works when she feels like it. Why do I keep her on? When she works she does a good job. And she is family. I've hinted, joked, and got downright bitchy about it many times. Work is to be returned in 24 to 36 hours, but it is sometimes five or six days. The only time she really seems to put her best foot forward is the two days before the pay cutoff date to be sure she has a nice check. Then she'll make all types of strange excuses for why her work wasn't returned in a timely manner. No internet service. At at a restaurant and got sick. Problems at home. - I'm being taken advantage of in a big way and I know this. I wouldn't tolerate it at all if it weren't for the fact that she's family. My other ICs don't get away with it. ---So, I need advice on the best way to handle it. If your advice is that I should never hire family please save yourself the time by not posting. I know that now, but its water under the bridge and I have to deal with this ongoing problem yet preserve peace. Thanks in advance for your input.

No accents/ESL. PERIOD!
Okay, I have a confession... I cannot understand accents. Period. So, when going to see a new physician, etc., I make sure to ask right off the bat whether the doctor speaks clear English, and if the answer is no, then I tell them that I am sorry for wasting their time and I go to the next doctor.
Just the same, when I was being considered for the accounts I have now, I told the lady I work for that I cannot do heavy accents or ESL doctors. I know - - could have kept me out of work, but you know what? I don't need the money that bad, because I would just be spending it on psych meds because trying to do the work would make me crazy!
I think she dropped a period.
As in: I didn't. Thank you very much.
Bayscribe, to cap after a period
Someone mentioned awhile back that they never could figure out how to automatically capitalize after a period in Bayscribe. Well, I wasn't looking for it, but accidentally discovered it. You go into productivity tools, and go into tab for local configuration; just check or uncheck the box. I'm still discovering little helps like this that I missed when I started the program. And if you want to momentarily de-activate, of course, just hit the escape first. Hoping this helps someone else! 
Bayscsribe, to cap after period
If you do that in your productivity tools it will cap every word after a period. So now when I type q.i.d., b.i.d., anything after that, i.e. daily or as needed, all comes capitalized and I have to wait a few words and then go back and uncapitalize it. It is very frustrating when doing meds.
I ALWAYS space twice after a period and I ALWAYS will!
says! I learned to type on a typewriter and it is ingrained in my head. Now that I'm doing VR, as I'm editing, I add the extra space after the period. I look at it as just more money the MTSOs are trying to screw us out of!
VR compensation/2 wk period
It seems that we have to make that high productivity in voice recognition for two weeks straight. If for even ONE day in the two weeks, your productivity was not as high, it bumps your average back down to making way less money. For example, let's say you work hard to edit 350 lines (voice recog.) per hour for 6 or 7 days, but one day your productivity was only their minimum of 150 lines per hour- that reduces your two-week average. What am I missing? What are you doing to keep productivity really high for that two week average?
VR compensation/2 wk period
No, I have not been able to achieve 350 lines per hour with voice recognition, or anywhere near it. But at 150 lines per hour at 4 cents per line for editing voice recognition, that is $6.00 a hour pay, and so the minimum wage requirement kicks in, as I am an employee, and I make $6.55 per hour for 150 lines per hour. So, how do I double or triple my voice recognition editing production per 2-week period, to at LEAST 300 lines average per hour (or even more if possible) so I can make more money?
Nothing more than rumor and gossip. Period.

this is so true across the board period (sm)
especially about hiring "minorities". My DH's work exclusively hires Spanish/Mexicans to work in their warehouse, cause they will work, not like the spoiled American youth in general. It's our own faults, people. That's just the way it is!!! 
It is crazy. I don't believe in spanking period.
There are other ways to discipline. My kids know how to behave (99% of the time they do) and fortunately they aren't in our public school system so I don't have to worry about that. School should be a place where children feel safe and there are lots of kids in school who you could use some discipline, but paddling is not the way to accomplish it.
Post-pay period blues...
I simply cannot get motivated today! I always feel sluggish and lazy just after a pay period, especially on the first day of a new one. I worked so darn hard yesterday to have a decent paycheck that I'm, well, too pooped to punctuate! Anyone else have this malady?
Anybody ever taken Prometrium for PMS? Just for 2 weeks before period.

Last day of the pay period. No work on the system.

Some people are just ungrateful, period.
Gas grill, iPOD, Tiffany bracelet, Omaha steaks, American Express giftcards, medical dictionaries, AAMT memberships, 7 all-expense paid trips to this year's AAMT Conference, and more.
Yeah, those are nice gifts.
Does anyone know if IT offers a trial period? sm
From the comments on this post and the post I placed yesterday, I am convinced I would like to try IT. I hate to spend $189 though and not like it but I do not see on their web site where they offer a money back trial period. Also, do you know if you download it and have it immediately or if it comes in the mail? Thanks to all who have offered their opinions, it really helps!
This is a slow period most places
Beginning of summer, everybody on vacation.
I have two part-time jobs, one for an MT company, one for a local radiology group doing their overflow work. Maybe something like that would work for you - when one isn't busy, the other might be.
Should expand when using the period after an expansion - sm
Shorthand should expand when you use the period after an expansion. For example... I have "tpi" as "the patient is" -- and if I type "tpi." I will get the patient is. (including the period)
