Momma always told me that if it looks and feels wrong,

it is wrong. That being said, I totally understand your situation from personal experience on both sides of the fence. If you have to ask, you already know the answer. You might need to see a counselor to help sort things out. In any event, you need to evaluate whether or not you want to stay married because you can't have your cake and eat it, too.

Or doesn't like it when she is told she is possibly wrong...
She wanted everyone to take her side and say poor you, QA is horrible...and when that didn't happen she freaked out...
Thank God my momma is my QA!
I haven't had QA'd work in several years since i Worked for a company, but thankfully they were always really nice and I always got good scores. Now I've been doing it 10 years and about two years ago started working for the same hospital my mom does, and they just QA my work to her if I have a question. I don't know the situation you are in, do they randomly read reports, or ALL your work goes through QA?
and what kind of errors are you making? Simple wording errors, or words you simply do not know?

Either way we are all human and make mistakes, but if they are things that you should know by now as an MT, that might be the problem.
I wish you better luck.

I thought this job would let me have children, and now it's going down the drain so my dream of that is gone.

Now my momma used a 3" wide wooden cheeseboard on our

Anyone see the comic strip Momma today?
It was regarding outsourcing -- guess it is bothering more people than just us MTs.
Get Momma's recipe while you're at it. Sounds great! nm

wrong, wrong, wrong. work is being outsourced because of $. period. not because of unqualified MTs

well it's just how she feels isn't it?
maybe she doesn't care about gere or his religion or cruse is nothing to her so she doesn't care about his religion.  so it is an opinion board right?   that's her opinion.  let's move on.
Not everybody feels the way you do, though. SM

You should censor what other people watch? I don't mean -you- but I mean that it's up to people what they turn the channel to.


To some people, Jesus Christ was not the Son of God. That's how they believe. To them, he was a fictitious or a historical character and there's no blasphemy involved.


If you do cringe (I haven't seen the ads for it) then not watching it is the right decision for you, but not everybody feels that way. :)

Needing to know if anybody feels same way

I wanted to post because I have had a very eerie feeling lately and wanted to see if anyone has been experiencing a similar thing... I was a home MT working directly for a hospital for many years and a high producer.  Then, the hospital cut our incentive and many of us ended up with a MTSO after that.  Well, after being with the same job for many years, I spent over 2 years with the MTSO and found out that my line counts were very low because the platform was not counting my lines in a well honest (to me) way.  I thought I was losing my talent, but after finding out about this for sure by looking at the minutes versus the lines over a couple of weeks and checking with other MTs (finally) I found out it was not me.  I since have been working for a very reputable MTSO (no hospital jobs around directly that I could find by me) and something is happening. I am struggling to get my line counts again, and I did a study with the minutes and though not as bad as the other MTSO, the same thing is happening AGAIN! (dont mean to yell, just emphasizing).  It is so hard to look for yet another job...My question is this: Is it my imagination, am I just losing my talent and my mind, or are most jobs now counting the lines differently than before say 3 years ago when I left the hospital job. And, if I can't produce that much anymore because they count lines differently now, how does one find at least a job which is moderately easier to get more than minimum? Look, I used to make over 50K a year and now I am eeking out perhaps 27 a year and feeling like I am losing my talent.  Any advice would be appreciated here. I don't want to go through job after job, stress after stress.  BTW: My husband will be able to provide benefits in a couple of months, but until recently I have been the one to have to provide health coverage and this has figured heavily into where I work.  Thanks in advance for your opinions.  I don't want my hand held, just a little reality check.  Thanks in advance.


Tax guy told me to hold 30%. After first year when got idea what I would be making, he told me
:P
It feels like life is passing me by sometimes. All alone here. I
I just joined a gym. Where are MTs who quit the smokes? I just did too! I want to sail into my 50s without knowing what it likes to have chest pain! I have had it with my fat jiggly arms. I'm going to start living cuz if feels like this is the opposite of it.

Oh dear, I vented. Sorry!! Just had to say that to someone! Thanks for being an ear :o)
As a recruiter, if I see someone who feels compelled....
...to tell me how fast they can type, their resume goes to the bottom of the stack. Then again, in another life I was a QA manager, and felt that quality was more important than how fast you could race through a report.
Everyone feels like that at some point. Personally, I just
pick myself up and keep going forward. I try not to let life get me down and I have faith in God that he will help pull me through whatever trying times bring.

That is pretty much all you can do.

Good luck!
Everyone feels the same way, regardless of the field they're in....
How would you like to be a doctor? True, they make good money, but don't think they don't give blood for it.  Patient's crawling down their backs, complaining, needing this and needing that, always on call, some patients can never be pleased, etc.  There is no such thing as a perfect job.....
VR feels like a spectator sport to me,

A vent! And boy, this feels GOOD!!

I've had it up to HERE with doctors who have thick foreign accents and dictate past the speed of sound, expecting that we are to know everything they're saying.


I've had it up to HERE with dictations received that were made on cassette tapes and then fished through onto digital recorders that contain tons of background noise and static, drowning out the dictation on them or making it sound like the doc is dictating from an underground tunnel. 


I'm sending ALL these transcripts back as quickly as they're dictated - looking like swiss cheese, filled with holes and blanks - because it's NOT my fault I can't understand these docs. They don't seem to care and guess what?  Neither do I!  Garbage in - garbage out!  Think they'll get the message?


Now, just let the OM call me about this - after sending her notes after notes on this subject, I'm ready to and WILL bite off her empty head!!


Thanks for letting me vent!



114° here in AZ. Our pool feels like a bathtub. It's HOT!

The Moderator removes what he feels threatened by...
which seems to be about everything! 
Feels like the cliques back in high school...

I can not believe how rude you all are...  I make a simple statement and everyone jumps all over me?  If you all lived in our neighborhood and saw house after house with tree down, where you can see the roots are barely in the ground because they were planted so shallow, with no room to grow because the curb and the sidewalk are on each side, and you talked to all of my other neighbors who all feel the same way, then maybe you wouldn't be so quick to pass judgement.  I think it's ironic that everyone else I've talked to in person finds it surprising that trees as big as these were, that have been there a decent amount of time (2+ years) did this.  I have six trees in my backyard that were only planted 2 months ago, but were planted the right way and are fine...  I am not an expert on Arizona weather, having only lived here 2 years, but it doesn't take a genius to look at the way these trees roots are so shallow to know there is a problem.  The other tree snapping in two is not something I blame on the landscapers, it was obvious that it has a very thin trunk and was never very strong. 


God forbid anyone make a passing comment on what is obviously "your board".  And no need to respond anymore, you've made it very clear that newcomers are not welcome.


frank is in hawaii and won't be back until he feels like it. or he is fired,
Ask Frank is still on MQ website. Greg is back. Can Greg help?
My husband feels the same way. Fortunately I'm a good cook but sometimes I need to get away from

My right elbow is killing me. Feels like the muscle has torn.

maybe it's just a pure and simple invasion of privacy the poster feels they want to protect.
if you do your job, who cares if poster was released from prison. weren't companies hiring prisoners to do MT anyway and weren't they doing credit card customer service?
I use the Simply Sheer. Love it. Great coverage and feels like no makeup at all. nm


I told you once, I told you twice, eTransPlus is going down the drain!
Don't expect communication from anyone, we are only little "peons."
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.
To finish...no one obviously feels like typing up, so the night people get the pool garbage. Grrrr.

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.

I was told
I was told that I could be sued by the client or dr for what I transcribe and the company will not help me in any way. Now I called State Farm and told them what I wanted and they said that due to it being in the medical field they would not cover me....
I was told
the same thing.  Some said they had to wade through stacks of resumes looking for resumes that even remotely came close to meeting  the requirements they posted.  I can see why the best ones don't post their job openings.  I know the company I am working for has offered a referral bonus, they are hiring for all shifts, all hours.  I don't refer people, referral bonus or not, but I would encourage anyone who is not happy to post their resume and pray they are contacted by this company or another equally good one. 
Better to see the doc & be told all's well than (sm)

Have it be appendicitis & run the risk of rupturing.  If you still have your ovaries, could be a cyst/adhesions/whatever.  Or it could be just a strained muscle or something.  If it were me, I'd check with my doc.  Just my opinion, tho'.


Hope you feel better soon, regardless of what it is


someone told me that
she knew a guy who lost about 50 pounds in 3 months by drinking a gallon of water a day plus a gallon of Arizona green tea.  Sounds like he was either overhydrated or bouncing off the walls!  In any event, he was certainly spending a lot of time for pee breaks. 
I was NEVER told anything

I had to be up to speed (12,000 lines) in one payperiod even starting on the new program and new account in order to not have to pay for computer and keep insurance.  NEVER has the office I work out of ever said you could put a note on there and say it is new account and were we given time to get used to a new account.


MQ is for the birds.  No continuity of rules at all.

That's what I was told by QA.
They told me that. Don't blame me.
