and here I am offering to help, and what happens? We're called liars. I always just get so stirred up by this that it makes me want to holler.

What possible good feeling could a person get from making another person feel bad? NONE!

What possible good feeling could you get for helping somebody increase her earnings? A BUNCH!

But nobody wants the help, nobody wants to know how you produce, they just want to whine.

Hi,

Does anyone know about offernig E-Signature to a client? Is there a way to do it easily, on your own -- I mean, instead of signing up with a big company like Vianeta or Bayscribe to handle all of the reports you type and want to send to a client.

Or... If that's the only way to go - through a big company - are there any big companies that are economical if you just have 1-2 doctor clients?  I know some of those companies charge like $5,000 as a set up fee.  Thank you.

Dave

 I mean, I'm sure you can do it

What a disgrace.  During times like these, people should be able to set aside their grudges and problems and come together.

I just got the memo dated Sept 2

I have read it 3 times

I do not see the words STATUTORY EMPLOYEE anywhere

I am assuming they are doing away with that position???????

Anybody know?

If you prefer a customer service agent who speaks "American," then computer maker Dell has a deal for you.

Catering to consumers put off by the accents of Bangalore, Manila and other call-center hubs around the globe, Dell will guarantee -- for a price -- that the person who picks up the phone on a support call will be, as company ads mention in bold text, "based in North America."

The Your Tech Team service, with agents in the United States, costs $12.95 a month for customers with a Dell account, or $99 a year for people who buy a new computer. It also promises that wait times will average two minutes or less. Without the upgrade, a customer is likely to get technical help from someone in India, the Philippines or the other places where Dell has operators.

By charging customers extra for a North American voice, Dell's program represents a novel strategy for easing the strains of globalization while maintaining profit, industry officials said.

Occasionally, "we've heard from customers that it's hard to understand a particular accent and that they couldn't understand the instructions they were getting," said Dell spokesman Bob Kaufman. "This illustrates Dell's commitment to customer choice."

is going to be the end of our quarterly bonus. My concern still is if there is no work how do you get any incentive if they lower the base rate. Sounds like employees will have a larger window to get their work done which means we all will be scrambling around for work at all hours.

All I have ever had available to me is dial-up where I have lived over the years. However, I personally have no problem working on Emdat's InScribe platform. It may take a minute or two for the first job to download but then I always have two waiting and when I upload one job another one downloads, so there is always dictation waiting for me.  However, I have a laptop now and I have noted with having more RAM (double what my PC has), everything works faster!

Also, my laptop came with the new ExpressCard slot and I plan to get that. It works basically like a cell phone and in my area unlimited Internet for it will be $79.99/month but well worth it to me if things are a little faster AND I can use my laptop in a lot of places that I travel (particularly in the summer camping), IF a signal/connection is available to me. I hope to be trying this out within the next month or so, as soon as the ExpressCards arrive at Verizon or Sprint.

If a laptop is a possibility for you, then that may be your way around dial-up. My satellite is not reliable enough and plus too costly I feel for Internet. Of course, you have to make sure that the laptop card will work with the platform the company uses that you work for/plan to work for. Emdat told me it would with their platform.

Of course, I first have to see what type of signal I get at home with the ExpressCard! :) We get "all the bars" on our personal cell phones (and actually have a tower within walking distance of our house out in the boonies-lol) so I don't think it should be a problem.

HTH some. :)

Wristies work well, too.  They're just fleece gloves with the fingers cut out, so they don't offer a lot of support, but they sure keep your hands/wrists warm.  I got mine from plowandhearth.com.

When I sold my house...I went with a flat fee company.  I paid a flat fee for them to list my house on the MLS, put up a sign and give me a lock box, help me price the house right, and go over any offers.......

The flat fee was considerably less then what a commission would have been.  She was a licensed agent with a lot of knowledge. 

I was responsible for showing the house.  Getting the inspection and some other miscellaneous paperwork and an agent usually does. 

I think there is a national chain called Help-U-Sell (too expensive for me), but there are sometimes local small companies that do this as well. 

receipt to the practice getting your money back faster than writing it off at the end of the year, but I just figure that ink and paper are part of my expenses.  That is a small price to pay as opposed to what you'd spend to look for a new account.

Furthermore, if this office is looking to slash, it may get worse for this IC in that she may lose the account regardless as the practice could go paperless with an online company for probably half of the cost they pay her.

word processor you are using; however, in your case, if you are working through a network (I'm assuming it is a stripped version of Word?), it may not attach due to restrictions placed on it by your company.  I may be wrong, you could try it.  I would plan on spending 16 hours of training per physician to get it up to a point that would benefit you.  Yes, that is a huge investment on your part.  I'm not trying to be negative but if you are a slow typist, how computer saavy are you?  Unless you really know how operating systems work, you could end up being very frustrated.  Also you would need to train DNS to recognize all the medical terminology in your spell check unless you buy their terminology module (which is very limited).

IMHO, you would be better off getting an abbreviation system as the learning curve is much less and it would be more portable if you changed jobs.  If you are a slow typist, an abbreviation/expansion program is invaluable to improving your line count.  I have used Dragon on my own computer when I did not work through someone's platform and it really worked well for me but I had help from BG and a very good computer skills knowledge base.

I am working in an offshore MT company and our US client is happy with the result of our transcription work. To those against offshoring, do not be greedy. Have the heart to share! ... PLEASE check your spelling, it's "REQUEST" not "REQUIST."

Believe me, if I could get cable or DSL I would.  There is a rumor that a wireless internet tower will be going up in a few months.  I have also considered satelite.  I will just have to see how my companies platform works with dial up and then I will probably get satelite or the wireless because it will be cheaper, but it won't be here for another few months if it is approved by the county. 

Thanks

I know this was discussed to some degree recenty, but I can't seem to find the posts now.

For someone having trouble making line counts, is a QA position a better option?

What is the pay like, and are there any quotas?  What all (typically) comes with this type of position?  It would seem that it might be very stressful as far as all the blanks left due to horrible dictators and such.

Due to various circumstances, my MT position is very stressful and nonlucrative right now.  I really need a mental and financial break of some sort before I crack, and a QA position might be an option.

Information and advice greatly appreciated!  

if you can afford it ~ and I know it can get expensive ~ is have the massage first and then an adjustment.  I used to work in a chiropractor's office and she has a massage therapist right in the office and lots of people would see the massage therapist first and then have their adjustment.  I did that, too, a few times and it really makes the adjustment easier because the muscles are all relaxes.   

I see my chiropractor every 2 weeks since I started working full time.  I feel so much better after an adjustment.  And she is a Palmer graduate as well.
