MDs not so easily impressed. Posted By: Misha on 2006-02-06 In Reply to: I posted below on this... - Experienced MT <MTSO for firing this lady>> No, no, no, he was probably quite surprised and annoyed to be called by an a subcontractor he doesn't know from Jack, rather than the MTSO he hired to do his work. The MD is the one complaining to the MTSO when she doesn't meet TAT, and she CAN't meet it if the IC she hired doesn't send her work in on time. So what does she do? Offer the work to somebody who is more motivated than you. It's business. Complete Discussion Below: marks the location of current message within thread Help needed...are there any rights/repercussions for an IC... - Experienced MT I read through everything and your tone - diddles Actually no change at all... - Experienced MT posting sm - niteowl I'm glad you didn't do those things. I, for one, was just SM - Blu if you will email me - diddles I sympathize. I'm pretty much in - Eddy As an IC, you are your own small business. As a - sm Very sorry to hear of your experience. - Listenup Call United Way in your area. Dial - 211 from your landline phone. cannot apply for unemployment. that is for employees. nm - Old MT File anyway -- were you really an employee? (sm) - Purple-Hair MT Employee - MTSO__Owner I am surprised the IC was let go after just one day of a TAT problem. - nm There is always more to the storty than waht - we hear here ;=) More to the story... - Experienced MT Here's another story - Experienced MT PS - it was equally terrible for this other lady to contact the doctors. SM - Blu I posted below on this... - Experienced MT MDs not so easily impressed. - Misha Yeah? So she shoudl probably should - Fed up Exactly! Well said! nm - MQQA You are owning your part in this less and less - MQQA Hey if you just sat back and didn't seek - Experienced MT Wow! I have read every post, actually, all day. While - MQQA You should read your own post over again... - Experienced MT Under no circumstances should you contact the doctors. Never do that. nm - Blu Sorry for typos.... - Experienced MT More - Experienced MT Saying this in a kind spirit - sm I know other IC's who make it part of their contracts that if they are being let go, sm - Just an FYI IC means if you don't keep up your end of contract - you can be let go Isn't it an "at will" relationship, meaning that no cause is needed at all? - nm but TAT is what is important and OP...sm - absolutely can let you go w/no reason Thank you for your kind words... - Experienced MT Well it's not wrong. - Misha contacting the docs re. this sm - niteowl you're welcome and to answer you.....sm - absolutely can let you go w/no reason Thanks again, I appreciate your input... - Experienced MT There would never be a valid reason to go to her clients - ever. sm - Blu I know it may be wrong..... - Experienced MT no, would not be a good thing....sm - absolutely can let you go w/no reason The messages you are viewing are archived/old.

I'm also using ExText right now which is the slowest serve I have ever used and think it is cutting my production by at least 25% so even though the people are really great, will probably move along. Thanks again for that great analysis! Not impressed They told me no one would hire me with the schedule I wanted. They were very wrong. I am impressed Wow!! is all I can say. I will definitely have to try this. Thanks!!! You are good!!! What kind of accounts do you have?. Can you do a lot of macro normals? Wow, I'm impressed! I'm new to VR and am no where NEAR that. I just started editing last weekend. It's kind of fun & I love less stress on my poor arthritic hands, but I need to learn the tips and tricks & shortcuts on the keyboard. I've been an MT for 24 years now. I think an old dog CAN learn new tricks! I work on EditScript and every time I turn in a report, there is an annoying little blurb on the bottom of the screen telling me how much faster I can be if only I would do this and that. Ok, I get it - but I don't need to see that EVERY time. I don't think 1000 lines is realistic either, some slick salesman's pitch (another one who has never been an MT) and all the MTSOs gobble it up, hook, line and sinker! Overall wasn't impressed... sm Assuming it must be very hard to perform Stevie Wonder songs, very few of the performances last night were outstanding! I was disappointed with Kellie and Mandisa. Katherine did a good job as well as Paris. Kevin did okay but hearing him sing a song with "lover" in it was amusing lol! Overall, I personally liked Taylor and Chris the best last night. I really think Chris is going to win this competition. CNBC I really was impressed by it I hope you can find it. Too bad for all the people that go there and have no work. I am not the least bit impressed with Dixie. Maybe she had better refer people to offices of MQ where there is work before she tells everyone how great MQ is across the broad. Maybe we all have gone and gotten other jobs because we have no work at MQ. Maybe you if you arent Dixie can enlighten that lady about the other side of MQ she seems unwilling to talk about. How about that. I went back two months ago and I am impressed with the changes. I was very sm skeptical, but I am glad I did it. I was impressed with this. My computer was a mess. nm x Wow! I am impressed and envious! Just in case you would like..sm to share the name of your company privately I have left my email address. I have 30 years experience in acute care and need to find a new company. It sounds like you have been lucky enough to find a really good company and I know they are hard to find. I would be forever appreciative if you would like to share the name. You can do this very easily....sm I've got the same type of setup that you're looking for. I use the Linksys routers and have a wireless router for the desktop PC that is on the other end of the house and use a notebook wireless card for my laptop. The entire setup took less than 10 minutes and their directions are idiot-proof to follow (trust me, I'm technically challenged and I got it right the first time - woo-hoo!) Do be sure that you set up a password on your wireless access, otherwise someone could easily hack into your access. The easy directions for this was on their website as well. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any specific questions and I'll try to help you. Especially easily happens because we use expanders. I once had a report sent back because I had expanded ankle pain out instead of abdominal pain (twice in the report!)... I couldn't believe I didn't catch it when proofing. I guess it must have been one of those brain fog days when I have trouble proofing (along with trying to hurry). Really when you consider all the poor dictation (along with their actual content), how easy it is to transpose letters or hit the wrong key and expand out something totally off the wall in a particular document, trying to hurry as fast as we can while making tons of little decisions along the way ... we do pretty darn good! Don't beat yourself up. :) Are all the SS employees impressed with the 4600+ lines that a certain someone got in 1 day? Tell me that could be done normally. Only way it happened was cherrypicking all the normals off all the accounts - Way to go, team player (NOT!)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It can EASILY cause that feeling and yes, it is ... working from home that does that. It nags on you because it is "never completed", there's always more to do. You need to get out of the house and do something OUTSIDE and something WITH OTHERS. That is why I volunteer (see my post a few threads below under "Answers"). You have to really keep a tight rein on disciplining yourself to keep a firm wide boundary between your home life and your work life because they are BOTH at home. oh please, you can get AIDs here just as easily. x You would be surprised how easily someone....sm gets "lost in the shuffle." There are so many people applying for jobs and sending resumes. I found that the applicants who continued to check with me where much more apt to get positions. If I really didn't want someone because of their abilities, I would just tell them I had no openings, and they would stop contacting me. You don't want to bug them to the point of irritation, but you certainly should check. I can easily see the difference. I don't think you have a problem here. You can easily do it without the macros. sm Add an autocorrect. Now do a search for the .acl file by the date you made your change so you know you have the correct file. You need to make sure you are searching the hidden files and you probably need to change your search view to Details so you can see dates. You can right-click the file and send it to your CD (or however you want to transfer the file). Do the same thing on the new computer so you can find the correct folder path and paste your file. Sometimes the MS macros don't work because you probably have some entries that are multi-line with paragraphs. Go to eopinions.com and read the personal experiences. I was not impressed. As I recall, there were numerous people who had such extreme swings in their electrolytes that they ended up hospitalized. Be very careful. Yes, I could easily become a recluse. Force myself to go out dd It could have easily cost you your life. nt ???? She didn't! We can easily see the difference. nm Enrichment is done easily in IT, although it can be done in Shorthand sm This is where you take several days' worth of work for one doctor (if you have your dictionaries divided by doctors) and run the Enrichment option in IT. It looks thru the work and picks out the common phrases and words and automatically adds them to your dictionary. It's really cool! Shorts you didn't know were there suddenly pop up for you all the time. A lot of times it's things it never even clicked to me that the doc says it all the time. If you want to do this in Shorthand, it's not automatic but can be done. You need to have another piece of software (or a website) and you enter your text in there. It picks out the common phrases and lists them out for you. Then you have to manually go to ShortHand and enter them. Takes quite a bit longer, but still worth it! I would suggest y'all head over to productivitytalk.com and start absorbing all the knowledge for your particular expander. There is just a ton of knowledge over there, it will blow you away! and you could have just as easily skipped my posting by that reasoning Okay, Message Board Police. Next time I decide to express my opinion I'll run it past you for permission first, okay? Amazing I really am impressed by your site. Very original & interesting content. when Round is Chair it will Cool site! I'll be back.

But since you can switch so easily from one to the other, I just use my email on my main computer & s Static IP address are not as easily attained as you would imply. Also, most newcomers to the idea of FTP file transfer are not anywhere near the technical level of experience that you claim to have. My answers are being given to provide a SIMPLE solution for this person. Static IP addresses are not free, either, so despite what you want to assert, your solution is not FREE. If one is a nonproduction job, managerial,etc wool can be easily pulled snap! Google "soap note" and you can find it easily. XX Did you just say: You can very easily "add lines by inserting a word here and there" I recall back in the mid 1990s, I was working with a fellow MT who was on midnight shift in medical records. He was making a huge sum of money and we all thought he was "the Whiz." Come to find out, he was inserting phrases, embellishing dictated sentences I guess you'd call it, to get more lines per report. He got away with it for a number of years but was kissing up to the supervisor and director, always available to help out, nicest guy in the world - but a thief - who fooled us all. Radiologist would surely notice eventually if not QA.
