how 'bout Bay??? Or a local auction house, or
take pictures to local jewlers. (Wouldn't recommend taking the original on first visits). ebay might also give you some information re: comparables.
Hospital vs. Natl.
HANDS DOWN, DEFINITELY GO WITH THE HOSPITAL and thank your lucky stars you found it.
Don't quit your small co. job as you "try out" a job with a Natl. nm

is this a natl company; if so, tell the people where they are located.

Should it be "life cycle management" or "lifecycle management"?
Having a debate at work.
What branch?
MQGuy, which branch? Glad to hear someone's doing something about this rampant, annoying, dishonest problem.
Fall Branch, TN, but...sm
Florida bound if we ever sell this farm!
Need som advice from somebody's hubby about car auction.
Looking to purchase a slightly used car from a car auction and not really sure how it works. I am a single gal so of course I do not want to go into this blindly. Want to know if there is a maximum amount before bid will be considered or is it whatever the highest bidder is gets the car even if it is let's say 500. I am looking to spend about 5000 to 6000 but if I am highest bidder at 500 or so, is it mine? Not sure. Feel kind of girly and dumb, LOL.
I bought my car at an auction last year,
and got a great deal entirely on my own.
Have your top dollar amount in mind, and don't exceed it. People mainly get into trouble at auctions when they get carried away and bid more than they can afford.
Make sure that you've factored in any dealer prep fees, taxes and registration into your total. Do you have the Blue Book price of the car you're looking at? What's the mileage?
The main concern is to make sure that the car is in good condition. If there isn't a Carfax report (and there should be), get the VIN and go online to read the vehicle's history before you consider it. You should also insist on a test drive. Open the hood, and check the tires.
You can do this. Happy motoring :)
anyone bought NC headphones off auction
sites and felt they got authentic products, in good working condition? I'd really like good noise cancelling headphones without paying the top dollar. thanks.
Geez - hopefully it's the "used to be" best branch starting with a "B".
I sure hope so - as I've all of a sudden noticed I'm not getting the worst of the worst, one after another, day in and day out. I still get the "bad" but at least there is a halfway "good" dictator in-between. I still question the discrepancy in the time of the dictation I receive, i.e. dictation from 1:18 am, 2:46 am, 2:57 am, 2:58 am, 9:02 am, 9:43 am. Still feel something is wrong with this picture! What happened to the hours between 3:00 am & 9:00 am? Have had dictation when I've logged on in the am from the night before at 9:17 pm, next dictation at 9:58 pm, then all of a sudden dictation from the next morning at 5:28 am. Lots of hours missing here! Questioned being assigned work - Denied! Anyone with a logical explanation that I'm not seeing here ? Anyhow - hopefully this new revelation is through my office and may change things. If not - I'll just keep reading the posts on who to apply for a new job with.

Get a refund? Check details of your auction
Hopefully your auction included the potenitality of a refund (buyer may or may not have known of a defect) and there is often a buyer's protection offered for items of this amount. Check out those possibilities quickly as you don't have unlimited time to make a claim.
I would unplug the C-phone and then unseat and re-seat all connectors. Make sure you have the connectors in the right way, and also of course check that volume control :) !
good luck.
I realize I may regret extending the olive branch but
to tell you the truth, I have always rooted for the underdogs.
My very best friend in the world once tied my hair in knots (before we were friends,) added some gum and dirt to the mix too. This was back when I was in the 3rd grade. Her parents made her come and apologize and we have been very thick ever since.
She didn't have many friends either. She was kind of a bully and the kids were all basically scared of her. I am proud to say that I could rely on her in a pinch going on 25 years now.
On the advice of one of the posters, I will make sure that the pup is in the clear with animal control and the local police just to be safe. I have a friend who volunteers at the local animal shelter where we adopted our puppy. He teaches obedience classes for the dogs and caregiving for the owners. All of this he does for free.
Perhaps if all goes well with the neighbors, I will suggest to the dad that he and his daughter accompany us to some of these classes when we go. Maybe she can learn to love the animals and they can help heal her a little too.
There I go again, rootin for the underdog.
That means you didn't win the auction, but the seller is offering
the item to you anyway. Either the winning bidder backed out, the seller had a duplicate item, or they lowered their reserve price.
Buy local. The local stores pay taxes to support your city and state. (SM)
Using online and catalogues does nothing to promote the local economy. We complain about outsourcing and about the big companies gobbling up all the work so the jobs at local hospitals are gone, yet we do the same thing when we buy on ebay, catalog, and these web sites that may be located any place in the world as their primary business location.
I went local. Great local tech support, they know what I do and were able to set it up just for me
:)
Are you in MQ management?
Are you with MQ management? Although it doesn't matter, because I'm telling the truth. I see it every day.
MQ management
No - I am a new rehire.
MQ management
I'm sorry, but I don't feel comfortable about giving my e-mail address, because I'm not certain about your position. I had a great job until MQ came into our hospital and managed to reduce my pay tremendously. I am one of the very few users who has access to DocQmanage and this process that they use to count lines just makes me sick.
MQ management - NOT
Whatever - I feel bad that you have lost money. I also have been "screwed" by plenty of companies myself. I was just trying to figure out if you could provide documented proof of "how they are robbing the MT". By the way, if you still work at a hospital, don't you still get benefits, i.e., health insurance, holiday pay or is all that based on lines produced like it is outside of a hospital? Have a great day.
MQ management
I must say - there is so much paranoia amongst some of you. Yeah - I've been hacked by the big companies also. Why not keep your mouth shut if you don't want to provide documented evidence.
MQ management - NOT
Did they bother to tell you that they also outsource MT transcription to other countries at MQ? I'm interested if they are trying to sell DQS and MQ without divulging that they outsource to India.
Are you new or management?
This WAS a GREAT company. IT is changing, we are not trying to change it. IT is changing OUR lives. I don't abandon ship without trying to help others first. UNBELIEVABLE CHANGES in less than two months where I am. I will be out of it very soon and if you want, you can go down with the ship with that attitude but I hope you and the others like you realize what you sound like and don't.
Whatever U say, Management! - nm
Management
I have never had anyone be rude to me the entire time I have been there. The IT guy can be a bit gruff, but I almost never talk to him. Of course, I do my required lines plus, get excellent QA scores, and don't bother anyone. Maybe that is why they are so nice to me!
Whatever you say, Management. What are
Just curious.
Sorry Charlie, not management
just an old MT with 30 years experience. and No I don't smoke thanks anyway.
Does anyone know anything about pain management M.D.'s?
For someone with chronic pain, is prescribing pain pills a last resort or is this the norm?
You sound like MQ management...
I just now read your ridiculous post (I'm not on boards very often, just check occasionally to see what is going on or blow off steam).
MQ adjusted my compensation without telling me. Had they told me I would be making less per line, I would have sought employment elsewhere. I was hired with the verbal and written agreement that I would be paid on the basis of a 65-character line, i.e. space bar, commas, bolding, underline, headers, footers, cc lines, headings, etc. etc. Through manipulation of their counting software, and various platforms, (Im'on my fifth platform)they have systematically underpaid us for our work. In fact, they just admitted that recently and I have a check and letter from them stating those facts. The amount I received is not near the actual amount that they underpaid me. I have no idea how they came up with this bogus figure. Yes, our business is an exchange for skills and service, but they must uphold their end of the agreement which was to base our compensation on a 65 character line. If that changed, nobody told us. In fact they repeatedly told me that nothing had changed and we were still getting paid the same way. They could not account for the decline in my production except to say that I just wasn't producing the same amount as I was before. Duh!
There is no heartache here, just anger. I'm angry that I've been ripped off by a bunch of greedy bums who have become quite wealthy off our blood, sweat and tears. Yes blood, I recently had to have surgery which was job-related, and am still recovering. So, why do you even care if you don't work for MQ and this doesn't even concern you. Do you just enjoy beating up on posters, does it make you feel better than everyone?
The recruiter said it was management, not MT.
It is my guess it paid well, but who knows.
A TL is for workload management ONLY SM
If you are going to her to ask questions about software, blanks, format, etc., you are going to the wrong person. Software issues for the help desk and blanks, format issues for QA.
Team leaders SHOULD just be routing work, seeing that there is adequate staff to do the work, etc.
You obviously are Spheris management
It always amazes me, the BS from Spheris, astounding!
No, she's from OSI management, but that might as well be another galaxy
are backpedaling on here a thousand miles per hour trying to find employees that actually live in this country.
Too late. You treat people like that, this is what you get.
Your management is to blame, not the MT.
Your management allows it to happen.
Talk to them.
It is isn't up to you nor me nor anyone else not in management to regulate who gets what work and when and how much.
MT management: Who would you work for and why? sm
I was curious as to what companies MTs would consider being a manager for and would also like to see posts from people that are current managers.
That's right. It probably wasn't YOU, and yet management of course (sm)
always has to make it seem like it's the MT's fault. "Blame-it-on-the-MT" -- for doctors and management alike, that seems to be their "EASY" button (like the TV commercial).
In business, management....
it is not unusual for a person to turn in a resignation and then be told to leave immediately. Sometimes even escorted out of the building.
I believe it is company management
handing out the praise. A good hint is to look at their "names" after they post. Some of those names are the same ones over and over again, and some of them are just downright laughable!! Another hint, look for the companies are always looking to hire MTs due to "growth." Id say the "Growth" is probably the growing number of MTs catching onto them and leaving!
Management again. SO annoying.....
Gaaa
anger management
I really think that humor is a good tool for anger management! Friends will send some really funny emails that will just crack me up even when I am in the worst mood ever, it always helps...or sometimes just going for a good run to burn off some steam? There are a lot of things, also I like to look up at the big guy and ask for some help there, that helps me quite abit!!
anger management
I love it!!! What a fun game!
Anger management
Just get away and go out for a brisk walk and possibly a swim in a pool if one is available. Go for a hike in the woods. I can sympathize with you. We do not have an easy job and it can really test our metal at times.
time management
that is the problem with working at home - there are so many interruptions. However, you have to remember that this is a real job - you have to commit your time to it. If you worked outside the home, would you take a day off to help with the kids, would they let you bring the kids to work with you, and would anybody even ask you to do that?
I know that flexibility is supposed to be a big advantage of this job, but it is only an advantage if you are willing to give up the income. You have to decide, do you really want to make the money or do you want the flexibility? If you want the income, then you are going to have to set yourself some hours, just as if you were working outside the home, and use those hours as working time and once those hours are over, then it is time for your family and home life - just as if you were out in "the world" working.
Moving into management
Some places will promote their lead Transcriptionist into management, but that's often a mistake. Having excellent transcription skills is not the same thing as having mentoring, motivating, planning, budgeting and interpersonal skills in a transcription environment.
You've had a boss who thought you had potential in these areas. Do you feel you would enjoy doing those things or would you feel the call of the keyboard? Would you dislike delegating? Would you dislike training because it's just faster and easier to do it yourself? Do you like dealing with people, or do you prefer to deal with data and to be left alone to do your thing? These are some of the questions to consider because the jobs really are different.
If you are truly tired of the rat race that is production typing and think you really might be interested in management, then check your local junior college or business school for classes on management/supervision. They might be credit classes or they may be career/life enrichment classes. They shouldn't be all that expensive, and they should give you a better idea about whether this is the path you want to take. Employers sometimes look for the RHIT or CMT credential for management personnel. If you aren't one of those, then proof of study in the management field may be of help to you.
I find that I generally like to read/discuss management techniques more than I like doing them, but it's getting harder and harder to do the production thing. Maybe I'm ready to try management again. I think I've learned not to make the same mistakes I made before. It's thinking about making the new ones that's holding me back! Best of luck in whichever path you take.
Complain to management?
Would you complain to management if you received a VERY snotty reprimand from a QA person who corrected your report with an absolutely incorrect "correction" or would you just ignore it? I don't want to cause trouble, but I'm very irritated - I'm wondering if management would even care that they have snotty-ass QA people?
I have nothing but contempt for those mid-management
slackers who, while their subordinates work their tails off all day every day, close their office doors in mid-afternoon and:
a. Take a nap.
b. Buy/sell things on eBay.
c. Play video games.
d. Sneak out for the remainder of the day.
Yeah, they sure do EARN those 6-figure salries, don't they? So do the upper management & CEOs, too -- for either NOT KNOWING all that is going on, or who PRETEND not to know. Usually the latter is true.
Too bad you can't name names on these boards, 'cause if you could, boy would I ever NAME NAMES!
If those management dweebs don't know by now that -
you get more work out of a fairly-paid worker than a gypped & ripped-off worker, then they don't belong in management. But come to think of it, MOST management doesn't belong in management. Of course, that's how the whole Management Game is played. How does anyone become management in any profession, but especially MT, these days, and still sleep at night? No conscience I suppose. And how does anyone sit through the archaic garbage they're obviously still teaching in management school, and maintain any personal dignity about the career they're about to embark on, let alone a straight face?
Honest folks really do finish last in this country, don't they?
Time management
I have two IM's that work 4 days each and I average about 4,500 lines per week, 525 or so per day each doctor -- about a 30 minute tape, and when I am doing my monthly schedule I schedule 1.5 hours per day for each doc. So that it 3 hours for that clinic. My monthly total is about 20,000 lines and so yours is a little higher but if you have been doing them for a while you should have a lot of Expanders saved, physicals saved, etc to save you time. I can average 350 to 450 lines per hour with them. So I would guess that 6 hours per da, 3 hours per doctor is what I would shoot for. Will the one returning from maternity only work part-time and that is why she is only 4100 lines per month? But again, I look at my schedule each Saturday morning and schedule out what my averages are for the days coming and figure out my schedule. ON M-Tu, Thu I work 4 hours morning, pick up and deliver, go to a clinic do EMR's for 2 hours, come home and work 2 hours -- my busy days, but then I have 2 IM's, 2 Surgical Oncologists, 2 GI's, 1 Hand surgeon, 1 plastic surgeon and 1 psychologist. But total I don't put in more than 38 hours with pick up and delivery times. My two IM's = 12 hours per week, SO = 6 hours, Plastic/hand = 1.5, Psychologist = 3; EMR = 10 and GI's = 4 or so. Total monthly lines are probably 40,000 or so without the EMR's as I get paid by hour for that. You just have to set time aside and stick to a schedule which is easier said than done sometimes but find out how your body works and when you are the most productive. Work with that rather than trying to make your body productive when it doesn't want to be. Also, again work with expanders, auto correct, etc. When I do a physical I bring over the one from last year and add in the changes, saves me a lot as the diagnoses are almost the same. Good luck. It isn't easy.
Where I once worked, Management was on
