People like you are wrong!
You should be ashamed of yourself!
What on earth is wrong with you people? sm
So this means that you don't give a rip who types YOUR and YOUR FAMILY'S medical reports or how badly it's done? That you just zip through the reports to get them done with and rack up those lines? Shame on you.
You know, all this bickering and fighting is because MT is paid "by the pound." Anytime people are paid strictly on production, this is the result. Not good for us, not good for patients.
What is wrong with the PEOPLE of this Country
I don't really disagree with much you wrote (except that there are plenty of good unions out there)...
but here's what drives me nuts: You ask, rightly, what's wrong with the government?
What's wrong is the PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY have chosen to roll over and LET the government do what it wants MOST of the time.
PATRIOTISM means more than waving a flag or whining online. PUT YOUR FEET in the street and/or CALL OR GO SEE your reps in congress
BRING A GROUP better yet. As long as WE JUST PAY THE TAX MAN they will continue to RIP YOU OFF.
You get what you choose to tolerate.
I think the QA people are dead wrong
if they get upset over what they consider "too many" blanks. Of course they're right about not guessing, but obviously they're sending you mixed signals by not wanting you to leave blanks either.
I'm a former MT who is now an Editor and I get a lot more upset over not enough blanks than with too many. I don't think there's even such a thing as too many blanks if you're dealing with a jerky doctor who can't be understood and doesn't care enough to take a few extra minutes to speak distinctly.
I'll often receive work that contains obvious mistakes, but the dictation is so bad that I can't with any certainty make a correction. When that happens, I take out what I know wasn't said and replace it with a blank.
I wish I had an answer for your situation. But please know that not all of us editors are like those you're having to deal with.
people sometimes goof off at work, nothing wrong with that
 It doesnt take up THAT much time.
I cannot stress enough people really have the wrong idea
about VR. I have been transcribing over 35 years now, not a newbie, not slow, transcribed at straight over 2000 lines per day always and I now just hate to straight transcribe anymore. Where are people getting the idea, and I see it often on this board, that one category fits all? I am held to as high standards as others, having to maintain 97-98% accuracy every 3 months when graded. Unless you know your job extremely well, no newbie can do this. You have to be fast and extremely accurate to do corrections on VR.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I've seen quite a few names, first and last, of people
mgmt on this board in the past, in similar situations, which is why I felt I could post this question. I certainly don't think I was not being tactful to the people I asked about, as I complimented them and enjoyed working with them. I wouldn't mind my name being on this board if someone said something nice about me.
wrong, wrong, wrong. work is being outsourced because of $. period. not because of unqualified MTs

if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.
As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
I typed a report on the wrong patient as the doc keyed in the wrong info, SM
He later said the correct patient's name and I SWEAR to this day I made the changes but somehow the report when through without the correct patient and changes made. I still remember that incident.
Fantasia wrong??? Haven't seen the OP's CD, couldn't have been too wrong.

It's about morality - not censorship! Right is right and wrong is wrong!
nm
so many people was wishy-washy nowadays...love to see people make
a stand for what they believe in...
it is kind of wierd those statements have to be made in the first place but guess we are an ever-transitioning country and are still young. so many different beliefs yet not much tolerance.
I found your post respectful, and right on as to how you feel. it does not seem that difficult to sift through to read and respond to messages someone might not care for...
As far as it being wrong, well who defines right and wrong? On the
other hand, what if he were doing the same thing? How would you feel? I think that should answer your question.
You SUPPOSE it was wrong! It was way wrong.

Just remember that it is not the people on this board who short changed their people and ONLY after
caught did they (after they were suied) make an effort to look good by sending out these checks. Now, think about this--had they done this many years ago when they short changed everyone, that would have been honest. Does it not bother you that only after they know they are under the gun that they are doing this to try and make themselves look good?
I used to work for MQ and I used to like what I did. I never can say I really liked the people that I worked with, but I really think they had some of the best accounts that I have ever come across in the MT industry. I loved working the major teaching hospitals that I did, but that certainly does not mean that I enjoyed being cheated out of pay.
So chill already. People have been cheated, were lied to, and only AFTER they got caught have they tried to return some of the money they robbed us of (as well as cheated their clients).
We all have reasons not to be happy with this company and you go off on us because we are complaining of things like small refund checks of a penny or a few cents or a few hundred dollars and NO WAY to even check to find out if this is correct?
I am sorry you are unhappy all of us thinking that there is still a dead rat in the cellar, but there is still a dead rat in the cellar and nothing will bring the dead rat back.
I would hold no love for a company that I know willingly cheated the very people who helped THEM make money out of their hard-earned money.
Go take a deep breath and think about that.
My people skills are just fine. I just want to hire people who want to work.
I've not been ugly, I've asked questions, legitimate ones. Please tell me what is wrong with that. This site is not just for MTs, it is for QA Editors, Supervisors, Service Owners, there's even sections for Billers, Coders, and Nurses.
rude people? I would take good pay over polite people any day
Besides that they have never been rude to me and I have been here for almost 2 years. What do you consider a bad account?
I know my account is a little tough, but I am used to it. I am tough!
Rude people? I hardly think so. They are some of the nicest people I have ever worked with. sm
Not just management, but QA as well. No one is rude. They are a very understanding staff. There is one account that is hard but all it takes is getting used to it. Once you are used to it, it is no harder than any other ESL account that you would do anyplace else. I have heard all these things about TH from the archives and I have yet to come across rudeness or any kind of thing that I have read about in the archives. I would definitely pursue them if I were you. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
2 people to do that amount of work, is she nuts? More like 20+ people - nm

Certain people getting raises, certain people not. Guess who is?
Say what you will about unions, the good and the bad. But, one thing they did ensure is a raise, good benefits and that you would have a job in the morning.
Yeah right, OF COURSE! How could there be other people who don't like QA people?
Could only be one. Hahaha. Dream on.
I agree, some people will never get it but, then again, what does it say about them as people? Not
.
you are wrong
it is harder to prosecute someone in a murder trial w/o a body, but not impossible. It is a case that would be based on circumstantial evidence. Perfectly legal and done before.
YOU TOOK THAT UP WRONG
I have lectured her. She knows we are against it. My husband and I do not drink at all. What I was saying is she can sit here and tell me she is not drinking which she has said she does not but I know better. I know every kid drinks at collegea and no I don't like it. I know her room mate drinks and my daughter has told me. There is nothing I can do about it if she is at college 100 miles away. She clains she does not drink. She has been told she has to pay the consequences if something happens. I tell her not to drink but if she does it won't be my fault because she should know better. I can lecture her at home by not allowing it in my home. I know a few of her home friends drink and I have told her if the parents ask me if it is so I will not lie. Obviously you don't have teenagers. Also Natalie's parents could have lectured her to about drinking but obviously she did it anyway.
WRONG AGAIN
to 'study and show thyself approved...rightly dividing the word of Truth'.
Well, I don't think you are doing anything wrong ...
I've been with these companies 3-1/2 and 2-1/2 years.
Do you know which accounts at your company are large or have a lot of overtime? I would ask to be put onto a super large hospital account as a primary. Being a large hospital account and/or overtime requirements will tell you how much work is usually there.
I have been very fortunate on my accounts but I asked for large hospital accounts up front for that very reason....????
Ur wrong...
Been an MT for 10 years and with MQ for 8...so much for assuming...
please, if you think something is wrong...sm
do whatever you can to get the person help. My nephew was bipolar/scitzophrenic (s/p?) and we didn't know until it was too late. Please try to help this person...it's hard to live with the consequences if you don't. Good luck and I will be praying for you and your friend.
Wrong!
I will take it to heart if it is from the administrator. The post was addressed to her.
what's wrong with me
I'm wondering what's wrong with me too. I just did 50 exams and realized I put the date of service 8-15-04 on all of them. Fessed up when I realized. I try to work when I don't feel well and this is what happens. Darn.
No, you are wrong
They have known about this being a potential disaster since Betsy in 1963, but since it was such a monumental task, and people in, for example, Washington State or Idaho, (just an example folks) would not have wanted their tax dollars being spent to fix the levees in New Orleans, and the senators and congressmen in these other 51 states wouldn't push it, because it was not a popular thing to do.
You are wrong!
Your eyes are mistaking - She never got out of her lawn chair - it is stuck to her butt because she is so darn fat and she can barely run at all, it is more of like a wobble, wobble, wobble!
She's wrong, isn't she? You and I and everyone else
knows that. MQLover is wrong to be ugly and make assumptions.
She will never win the Nobel Peace Prize or even any type of Employee of the Year award with her abrasiveness. It's uncalled for. It really just shows her ugliness inside.
I'm a supporter of MQ; I don't agree with all they have done or will do but in general I've had a good relationship with them. It is difficult for me to hear some of the nastiness from complainers. It's one thing to state clearly and plainly what a problem is, it is another to do the name-calling, etc. Both sides are doing it now. It's sad.
The BEST plan of action for those who are upset with MQ, though, is to do what another poster suggested in an above thread --- go to the Employee Complaint Form on QNet and fill it out. Swamp them with those complaints. Have them swamped with complaints.
No changes can come about if MQ isn't directly contacted about the complaints.
I hope everyone can take a breather, relax, and allow each others opinions but be more respectful in their statements.
Have a good day, everyone.
Don't take this the wrong way, but
you're getting yourself all worked up over something you don't even know to be true. Shhhh, deep breaths. No worries. Everything will work out in the end. Even if MQ eliminates SE, what's the worst thing that could happen? So you go job hunting or switch to employee status. There are tons of IC and SE jobs out there with companies that are way better than MQ. I can relate, though. I've got three kids and a mortgage. Honestly, there are so many MT jobs out there that you can quit a job one day and start working again the next day for another. I understand that you have security and longevity with MQ, and the unknown is a scary thing. However, you need to stop worrying and imagining the worst. You're a good worker, right? Do you think they're just going to dump you with no notice? Why don't you talk to your supervisor? Ask her straight out what's going to happen. You are allowed to know how these new changes are going to affect you. In the meantime, stop catastrophizing and make yourself a nice cup of tea. It'll be all right.
Nothing wrong
with having 6 accounts or 7, 8 and so on but WHEN THERE IS NO WORK ON ANY OF THEM what do you do? Still sitting here waiting to work and NOTHING. There is something wrong with this picture.
Nothing wrong?
Boy, you don't get it do you and yet you continue to bicker. No work IS the problem and only getting from your 5th, 6th, etc. when you get the scatter report means that there are too many people on the accounts. That is the point.
Wrong again!
After the ER visit. I went to 'see Alice'. She did a better job taking care of me than you could ever do. I called you after I left her and told you 'she' made me see stars.
WRONG
Not getting paid for spaces. They just tell you that they do, but they are lying
Sorry, you are wrong.
I do have an extremely handsome husband. I do go to the spa and get pedicures. I also MT. There is nothing wrong with that. It really ticks me off when ugly people come down on me like you are. Hey ugly, where is pretty? Not anywhere around here, that is for sure.
WRONG
They are a public company and the privacy laws only apply to patient care.
Ha Ha You got me all wrong!
I, also used manual typewriters. I am 53 years old, knew how to keyboard Qwerty, and switched within the last 2 years to Dvorak.
Qwerty is not the "correct" keyboard, just the more common one. Actually, the Dvorak keyboard layout is older than Qwerty. Qwerty was developed specifically to slow down typists as there was a problem with the keys sticking together on the old manual typewriters because the typists would be able to go too fast using Dvorak keyboards. Qwerty was specifically developed to slow down typists and keep those keys from getting all clogged up. Then qwerty became the 'standard' because everyone was using it.
The world record speed typist, Barbara Blackburn uses the Dvorak keyboard. It reduces hand movement by about 10 times. All the vowels and most common consonants are on the home row. When I decided to become a medical transcriptionist, I decided to switch to Dvorak "'cause I ain't no spring chicken" and want to do all I can to make these old fingers last longer!!!
I actually am using the Dell keyboard that came with my computer because my Dvorak keyboard would not interphase with Windows XP. I have the keys memorized, and I simply changed the 'keyboard language' in my computer settings to Dvorak. It is hilarious when someone else tries to type on my keyboard using qwerty because what they type comes out jibberish!
So much for Dvorak 101 !!! Have a nice day!
so tell me what I did wrong
lol
Don't get me wrong...
I think that is a rotten thing for an employer to do, but it is the apparent policy that once an employee exhausts all available sick time and vacation time, they need to return to work before missing an entire pay period. If that makes sense. Believe me, I didn't like having to leave my newborn for that reason. I know she could have been in a different situation, but I'm just making the point that the same thing could have happened somewhere else. My experience was actually with a hospital.
I see nothing wrong with...
saying that "there are 2 different theories, one is evolution and the other is intelligent designed, generally held by religious people." Just as you can can teach ABOUT a religion, you can tell kids what the theories ARE. Kids learn about the history and beginnings and practices of religion all the time in history class. I see no harm in presenting ID in that context. As for evolution versus creation...I've got it all figured out and put to bed in my own mind, which is what I tell my kids.... Evolution IS God's creation. Very simple, very logical, and mutually respectful of both sides.
Wrong, wrong, wrong
One thing that truly stuck with me DISC for eyes --- DISK for back
Once again, don't tell anyone they are wrong...
on this issue. Most of us have conformed to the way we have been told to type it over the years. In 13+yrs of typing radiology, I have just in the last year only come across a facility that has asked me to type "disk" in reference to the spine. All others have been adamant about seeing "disc" on their reports.
Noone can "win" this argument...it's a matter of choice.
MOST DEFINITELY WRONG!! same
I had the same experience with Sandy, SouthScribe, Georgia. I helped him out on a project until he got someone else. He lied about sending out my check too (even gave the check # and amount he supposedly sent out to me when I called about it!). He never paid me, even though I reported him to the BBB. I would suggest to you to report too; even if you don't get your check (I hope you do), it is on record, and the next person is not as likely to get ripped off.
I don't see anything wrong with that at all. nm
x
i see something wrong with it!
Why should she get holiday pay for christmas when she doesn't celebrate the holiday? that would be like catholic ppl expecting a day off on jewish holidays. you cant have it both ways, if you boycott the holiday, then you can't expect to reep the benefits from it too. thats ridiculous.
There is NOTHING wrong with
your feelings or reaction! I really don't know how I would react to this situation, so I certainly wouldn't tell you what to do or how to behave. Just know that your feelings are only natural and human, and you have done nothing wrong. I hope you get the love and support you deserve now and in the future, and I wish you the very, very best. Hang in there!!
