In Reply to: Doesn't it seem like there has been a lot of Rad job openings being posted? - tbpmt

was asking me if I had done before- I had at a previous job when radiologist MT was out and had never done before. This person calling wanted experience but said paying up to 17$ an hour. That is a pretty good salary. I told my coworker I would ask on board how she could maybe take some courses or just where to go for help in radiology MTing. I am happy where I am with VR so not interested in myself but I know she is looking. Thanks.

Dear MT friend. Did you forget you posted this this morning? I would consider this negative.

YOU?

I do not understand why all the MQ MTs continue to get all riled up and make fools out of ourselves.  If you have been with MQ for anytime at all, you should know that any major changes made, you will be advised! Especially if it affects your pay, production, etc.  Apparently, policies vary from office to office, so what is going on at one office may not pertain to your office.  If you have a question, the best place to address it is with your TC, not on this board, where you get answers from God only knows who! And no, I am not MQ management, I am just an MQ MT, but a happy one. I work for Monrovia, as many of you all do, and never has a policy been changed without my prior knowledge.  so please, people, quit making fools out of us and get a grip!


 


 


 


I have a friend who has done radiology for ....sm
several years now. She trained to do acute care too for a little while and she said she hated it. It was so much harder to her. In radiology there is only a limited amount of terms and in Acute care there is a much broader amount of terms. She said she definitely would do radiology over medical records.

Outsourcing topic on Good Morning America this morning....

Ok, maybe I should just stay in bed LOL How about "every morning" not everyone morning. Wow. C

How about your husband tells the friend to tell his female friend to lose the #?

Of course I contacted QA...SM

and asked specifically that I be e-mailed the completed document.  I will keep that for my proof as many suggested, but I'm 100% sure that I would have at least verified it with the office because it is a dangerous sound alike medication.  There really is no way this QA person would ever change her mind.  She is one who really thinks she knows it all.  I figured I'd be asking to be fired if I said anything more.  I constantly am biting my tongue and keeping quiet, but have kept copies of all communications regarding any issues that have come up.  Ultimately, it will be her fault and responsibility if a lawsuit ever happens or a patient is injured because of the wrong med.  It is just sad that she can't consider another point of view or at least ask verification. 


Anyway, water under the bridge for now.  The documentation I have should be fine.


What to they tell you when you have contacted
them about this?
Corporate has been contacted. The more the better.
:
Yeah, I contacted them as soon as I
found out they needed homes for the pets and still have not been contacted, either. I was getting curious, too:)
Have you contacted Dr. Phil??
Seriously, I don't know what you can do about it. Probably absolutely nothing. You just need to be as supportive TO YOUR SON as you can be. You can let him know you don't agree with this but you love him anyway. Honestly, this will not last long. He may not even make it to the altar. As far as the girl....just tolerate her the best you can. I don't think she'll be in your life very long!! Good luck!
Radiology transcription, what type of reports are considered radiology
I have lot of experience with everything and I would like to know what exactly is considered radiology so I know if I qualify for that type of work?  I've had many types that I think qualify for radiology.
Evidently you can't read. We have contacted

employee problems to be public fodder.  They don't respond to questions.  They


don't return phone calls.  When they do give answers they are nonsensical, non-answers.


Go back and read.  See how many of us here are saying we have been in touch


with the mighty Frank et al.  And it is not your place to tell anybody to "file it or shut it". 


Get out of "our" business if you are not affected.


Casey, ck your email, I have contacted you.

You DONT need to be contacted. Send it all!

Am glad you are okay, Michelle. Have you contacted your supervisor?

Have you contacted the office manager, physician, etc.(?)

A friend of a friend is taking CareerStep - sm
she is under the misguided idea that she will be making very good $ upon completing the course (a friend of hers supposedly makes $55K a year). I told her no way, at least not starting out and not unless all the factors click together, i.e. good typing speed, good pay (not for a newbie), good dictators (unlikely) and dedication to working hard. I told her what I make after 5 years (16K) but that is PT and I have the potential to double that if I would push myself, not procrastinate so much (I web surf way too much) and work more than I already do. I am not a fast typist but am good at what I do. I will be surprised if she follows though. She told me she'd call me when she finished the course, I just hope she is ready for reality.
I have been in the same boat since being transferred to Amherst. I have contacted New Jersey and
spoken with one of THOSE WOMEN and have gotten very little response other than oh we will see what we can do and things continue to just go on the way they were. I think it will take a lot of people calling Human Resources and emailing those 2 women or getting transferred or quitting that will change things MAYBE. Are many people quitting up there in Amherst. I know since my office has been transferred they are quitting now.
Have already contacted by state senator and received a response
But of course, all it said was that he was glad to hear my point of view, blah, blah.....no indication of how he was going to vote when it comes up - but at least I let my feelings be known, in no uncertain terms.   We have to do SOMETHING, it's just hard to know what. 
You have to work in their Harrison office. I contacted them in August, but I live across the

The Dictaphone techs are usually great at problem solving. Have they been contacted?? nm

Doesn't matter If you haven't contacted former previous supervisor or not; go ahead
and put their contact info down (if you have it), for your reference. It's not necessary to contact your references prior to putting them down on an app--if you left them with a good impression, that should speak for itself and they will give a good reference if they are contacted.
With regard to Jester's Touch. Ms. Jester contacted me via email
this morning to announce that she has "been told to cease any other communications" with MTStars.  As well, she has told a tissue of lies regarding the labor board denying Ms. Latta's case.  I have learned this morning that the case has NOT been denied and is still being processed. 

I can here this morning
For the first time. I don't know who you are and who you are lashing out at but YOU need help.
Got her in this morning, thanks. NM

Doing 60 lph this morning so far. : (
I get up every day with a positive attitude, and start typing away.  Same BAD dictators, skipping all around in reports, and some areas garbled beyond recognition.  I'm just venting, but it is so hard to keep going on day after day like this, making no money and being frustrated beyond belief.  It takes so many hours just to make 1000 lines like this.  ARGH~!!!!!!
I did everything this morning between 6:00 AM and 9:00 AM.

 Now I am sitting here after having had a tea party with DD, decided to check out the boards, and will hopefully have some more work in a bit.  I always end up getting my line count by the end of the day, but when I'm in "the zone", it is frustrating to have to wait for work to come in. 


I got up this morning and...
called my Daddy to tell him what I did.  I am crying again, but these are tears of empowerment and true joy.  I put my music on, rather than that darn TV that he was addicted to and my children are dancing.  DANCING!  We were opposites on so many levels and had nothing in common.  He has no more control and I am sooooo okay for the first time maybe ever.  I feel so strong with all of you behind me.  Your words I will cherish forever.  God Bless All of You!  More updates to come...            
Did you see GMA this morning....sm
story about working at home as a customer service rep.... anyone not happy with job/and or income should check it out. 
a pot a day...in the morning though
Couldn't go without it!
Your morning
ROFL! That darn gravity! I always told my kids that if there was no arterial spurting or bones protruding through the skin, get ready for school.
Then why were there 152 on this morning?
And 57 on in the middle of the night? Honestly people...can you really be this suspicious of the entire world?
GOOD MORNING!

Let's here some positive thoughts for the day, okay?  I like my job (Not love because I'd rather not have to work at all)!  I have worked at some nice offices and not so nice offices but this is the best.  My own! (Finally finished office after adding on 4 years ago)  Sure, I have bad days when I really don't feel like working or the phone rings 100 times a day or DH or kids need this or that every 5 minutes but for the most part where could I work with no one breathing down my neck or I can get up and get a drink of water or go to the bathroom without having to tell someone that I'm doing it and still get paid twice I would be making if I was still in-house.


Come on!  Let's here positive things and encourage each other today!  (I am not slamming any complainers because I am one also, just want some positive input today)


I love this board!


Our prices went from $2.55 to $2.99 this morning. nm

I heard about this on CNN this morning, however
The employer deducts it on their taxes to charity and the employee has lower income, hence not paying taxes on that amount.
I do sometimes but usually do the lunches in the morning -sm
I now start earlier, i.e. 6:30/6:45 and have it all done by 7, (was stressed myself last year) get the shoes on, hair brushed, kids fed, teeth brushed by 7:20 then do our 6-mile drive to the bus stop. Can be rushed some, but now not so nuts and better organized this year. Just give yourself an extra 15 minutes and pre-do all the stuff you can the night before, i.e. potato/corn chip bags, crispy bars, whatever. Makes it much smoother.
When I got up this morning I saw the words
"bodies found" and had to rub my eyes to see if I was dreaming. 
"There's got to be a morning after. . .
Poseidon Adventure, 1972. Great movie. Great actress.
Can I cry on your shoulders this morning?

My husband is gone until spring with his company about 5 hours away from home. Not too far but far enough where I can't see him often. In fact, he left Jan1 and haven't seen in since. No big deal - 14 days.


He is staying in a nice hotel with company car, perks, etc. He doesn't have a boss, but they have him working 13 days straight and then one day off and he is working his tail off. He calls me every night, and we trust each other 110%. We have 2 boys - 2 and 4.  I am basically going nuts over here with them but that is a different subject.


 


So I got this grand idea last night that in the morning (today) I would drive and come see him, he has tomorrow off, and then I would leave early Tues to come back home. No big deal. The kids could watch DVD, etc. I am very, very independent and can do this with my eyes closed.  I've always traveled by myself, etc., because of my background, and he's the type who is ultra-conservative, worried about traffic, safety, etc. Which is irritating because yes, there are risks involved when traveling. I have a new vehicle, great tires, great gas mileage, a cell phone, money, and street smarts. What the h*** is the big deal? He calls me this morning when the boys and I are ready to go to tell me, "don't come."


Do you know how upset I am? I am very upset.  He won't be back until April or so and he doesn't want to see us????? He can't leave the area, so we have to come and see him.  Yet, because he's so darn cautious and conservative (always has been that way), we have to suffer by staying here and basically I have done nothing but work extra and take care of 2 kids who really miss their dad.


I am upset.  I am all packed up and ready to go with no where to go.  He did say I could possibly come down later, as in a few weeks later, when the area is not as congested (he's near the gulf of Mexico where hurricane hit, but in a city that was not devastated so there are hotels and restaurants, etc). But to be honest, I'm not going to waste my time or energy on him if he doesn't want to see us. I am not going through this again in 2 weeks. He can just forget it.


I'm usually very mature, but I am so pissed right now and I don't really care. He doesn't want to see us today, then I guess he and his ultra safety self can wait until he comes home in April.

Did you see on Fox & Friends this morning...
or the news in general, that the group from Kansas that has been protesting at soldiers' funerals is coming to PA (that's where I'm from) to protest AT THE FUNERALS because of something Gov. Rendell said about them?
I woke up this morning with
my right ankle swollen. I didn't do anything to hurt it, and it doesn't really hurt either. It sometimes has this tight sensation when I stand on it. I have no other symptoms, no fever, no warmth, no pain. I am in between doctors right now. What are your thoughts??
Good Morning

We are soon going to convert to electronic medical records. I am still going to transcribe reports for the doctor. If I work from home and the doctor wants me to type straight in to electronic medical records system- how is that going to work? Will I still be able to do it from my computer or will doctor have to purchase laptop?????


Thanks  


morning headaches
Sleep apnea can cause morning headaches because of oxygen deprivation.  Have you ever had a sleep study?
Sad dictation this morning
A couple of weeks ago, I typed an OP report for some poor elderly lady who was assaulted in her house with a knife and basically left for dead.  This morning, I typed her death summary.  I've been bumming all day. 
Good Morning!
I hope you all have a fantastic and productive week!
I had a doctor one morning with
very bad gas.  He was nice enough to apologize and telling me it might happen throughout the dictation - not burping....he was shooting bunnies - very loud ones!!!
They were there earlier this morning.
