Your email address is invisible to anyone who emails you
through the MTStars website. If you, however, reply, then the receiver would be able to see your email address.
oops..how do I get my email in here?

Oops! Should be WRONG sm
From January through July, 360 people in the county had been bitten by dogs, with the three human deaths occurring since April, the Beijing Times said. Furthermore, in many developing countries throughout Asia, Africa, and Central and South America, rabies is much more common, with the majority of human infections caused by dog bites
Remember, once symptoms of rabies develop, intensive medical care can maintain the heart, lungs, and other vital organs for a while, but death will occur.
So China is supposed to let a rabies epidemic sweep the country because you guys like dogs?!?
Oops! Sorry, wrong board. nm

There is nothing wrong with the MTStars Line Counter. If you have issue, you need to email
and take it up with us directly rather than post openly on the forum. Email to support@mtstars.com
Boss sent me a nasty email, I replied and proved she was wrong, and yet no apology. sm
This is not the first time -- she's the first to blast you if she thinks you didn't make your line count, work when you should, etc., but if she makes a mistake, she NEVER says "I'm sorry," or "I was wrong" ... nada! Most of the time, I just blow it off. The pay is great, the accounts good, and sufficient work, but other times, I wonder if it is worth it. I suppose in today's job market, I should just be glad to be employed ... maybe I'm just greedy in also wanting to be treated with professionalism, respect, and courtesy.
Not sure if I even have a point -- guess I just needed to vent a bit. Thanks for "listening." 
I am sure that emails to clients and emails to IC --sm
transcriptionists rank in two different categories. Emails to transcriptionists are probably much more frequent, the supervisors have alot more work to do than sending emails and are in a hurry. Perhaps concentrating on your own work instead of typos in an email would be more productive. which is more important?? geez. give others a break.
Please leave an email or email me at my address....click the email button. Thanks...nm

No way, not flaming.
The accounts are great, it's the communication that's so very bad. My bonus was the hiring bonus, not talking about the quarterly bonuses and such. I emailed Joel many many times and he just does NOT answer. Emailed team leader and told everybody else I could. One lady who is leaving but has been there 2 years said it took her a year to get her insurance cards. That's a tad ridiculous. I do not respond with personal email because I do not want my name on there getting back for obvious reasons. It's more than just me having this problem. It's like being out in Siberia when you try to get an answer, NOBODY responds to anything. They spend a lot of time patting themselves on the back about their company but they don't realize that without us, there is no company!
not flaming you but want to ask you something
How is it you know for sure this "greedy" MT is "him"? What I mean is, how do you know specifically who THE person is? Does your system allow you to see who is on at the same time you do? If not, has that information been given to you by someone in the company?
Again, I'm not flaming. I'm just wondering how you know to place blame on a particular person.
d~
I am not flaming, but, please, how can you do this,
when 500-700 lines per hour means 15 to 16 pages per hour?!
A page has 40 lines. I cannot even read that fast, without correcting anything.
Please tell me how are you doing this?! Dayin and dayout?
I'm not flaming, I'm responding.
These are very basic lab tests that anyone with training would have recognized. It really has absolutely nothing to do with me being born knowing everything. I'm not expecting a newborn to know medical transcription, but as a person seeking medical treatment I expect that my medical records will be professional and accurate. I worry that if people who cannot even recognize very basic medical terminology are doing VR, and VR is the future for medical transcription, there will be a high risk that medical records will be neither professional or accurate. If MTs are expected to speed through editing at reduced line rates and they can't even recognize basic terms, chances are great that they're not going to take the time to research or even ask about more complicated terms. Do you realize what these errors can mean in terms of insurance coverage, preauthorization, or pre-existing condition status? I fault the transcription companies more than the unskilled MTs for hiring them to begin with. They're putting them in the position to allow errors when they KNOW they aren't qualified - just because it's easier to hire them than experienced MTs. I don't fault the MTs for not knowing, I fault those allowing them to think that they're qualified to do this job when obviously they're not.
I'm not flaming - I agree with you 100%
Why anyone would get into this business - especially after reading these message boards - is beyond me.
No job security, poverty level pay, loneliness, anger and frustration from losing your social skills and the only friends you have are on the internet, overweight from lack of physical activity. Plus, this job is going to cease to exist in the next decade and then what?
No way, I don't disagree with you at all.
By the way, I've moved on to another field too and am completing my 4-year college degree as we speak, like I should have done 30 years ago.
oops - big mistake - I said the wrong person - apologies apologies apologies
it WAS NOT Desperado who made that statement. Sorry. It was another person that made the statement about the physical and drug screen remark. Sorry. Sorry Sorry. I apologize a million times for that.
not flaming you, just stating facts. sm
no one can clean up enough themselves, but Christ can clean them up. Maybe you would want to discuss on the faith board? I assumed by the tone of your posts over there you were a Christian but I assume not now. Didn't flame, but will pray for you.
I too have been to h*ll and back by the Grace of Christ he brought me out of it.
Just reading your posts on this side of the boards you sound like a miserable sad person. Christ can change that if you let him.
wrong, wrong, wrong. work is being outsourced because of $. period. not because of unqualified MTs
c
I'm sure this will get me booted, but you are a flaming moron, my dear,
and you make no sense at all. "too bad sometimes people can learn if they push their ego and need to be right at any cost aside" What the hell are you talking about? That sounds like baby babble and makes no sense. And by the way, I'm smarter than you in that I can string a sentence together that is punctuated properly and makes sense. And if posting on a fun thread such as this one with the nasty, nflammatory remarks you made isn't trolling, then I don't know what is.
Main Board is for any topic. Don't start the flaming. NM
.
You start your message with a flaming face emoticon
how is what you're doing different from that which you complain of?
Inquiring minds would like to be enlightened. Sorry, I don't have time to read all the stuff here.
SPOT?
.
HIT it on the spot.
Thanks so much! You answered alot of my concerns.
Greatly appreciated!
I like the spot questions
I'm not sure why you freeze up? Pretend you are transcribing. Don't you have to answer these same questions on the fly every day? I know sometimes it's something like a drug name that I've relied on my expansion software to memorize for me, but even then, I can get the other 13, 14, or 15 questions right. I'm a transcriptionist. It's what I do. Same with you. Take a deep breath and do your best. A heck of a lot more fun than taking one more , egggadds, on-line test.
I correct it on the spot...
By doing so, it may hurt productivity, but the way I look at it is that productivity ain't worth a thing if the transcript isn't accurate, and by waiting to correct it, I may forget to do so. Of course, the software I use will not let me send a transcript until it has been completely spell checked, so that helps, too!
I do! And there was always a sandy spot on it sm
that would tear through the paper, and I'd have to start over. We weren't allowed to use White-Out or corrasable (sp) paper then.
If you find a spot for just OPs
I want to be invited too! Those are my moneymakers, but unfortunately I don't get them as often as I like!
Thanks, I wasn't sure if I was in the right spot
.
and how do you spot a liar??
just wondering. I have a bridge for sale.
This post is spot on.
It has been my experience in-house in my moderately large urban area and with a service that VR will always need editors and is no threat to good MTs. It is absolutely EMR. In my area, many 4-10-doctor clinics now use EMR. They DON'T use MTs anymore. But some still dictate. I think in 5 years, it will be very hard for a newbie to find work.
Boy oh boy, have you ever hit on a sore spot with me! -(sm)
I'm up against the same thing with that da**ed BOS. Every other day, it's something. Put a dash between words. Don't put a dash between words. And then each account varies from the BOS in its own unique and utterly ridiculous ways. Frequently the BOS goes against what's correct punctuation and writing style.
This whole BOS cow-pucky is keeping a lot of people busy, and in all the wrong ways. We're so busy worrying about the absurd minutia that BOS tells us is Law, that it's harder and harder to get a decent day's worth of transcribing done.
If MT co's want to use the BOS, then they should tell their clients that that's the standard they're going to be using. But no, every account, even every DOCTOR, wants it their way. I have no problem with typing every account and every doctor their way, but then I sure don't want QA flooding my inbox with marked-up reports, telling me I've done it wrong.
I truly believe that the whole purpose of BOS (besides making couple of shady characters very, very wealthy, is to further justify paying us less and eventually driving American MT's entirely out of the field. An MT can be very experienced, accurate, and fast, but if you keep playing the shell-game with the account specifications, and changing them up every other day, no one on earth is going to be able to keep up with all that and maintain a high QA score.
And the bottom line? Since WHEN does it matter to patient care (which is SUPPOSED to be the bottom line in the medical industry) whether you spell out numbers below 10, or type them in numerals? Since when does it matter if the date is March 14 or 3/14? It DOESN'T! When the doctors check our reports to sign, or before going into surgery, etc., does anyone really think they give a rat's backside about whether we capitalized "operating room", or spelled out the number ten? All that matters is accuracy and readability! The almighty BOS doesn't matter to them one iota.
This whole BOS/QA analness of MT is driving me crazy, too, because it's all about being jerked around.
Or try Folex or Spot Shot.

You are right. I've always said I'm just in a good spot. sm
I hope I have never acted like anybody wasn't good enough. I sure didn't mean to.
I have used Bio-Spot on my dogs for years. (nt)
how 'bout a camera on that spot?
I was asked to take a pay cut and quit on the spot.
I needed the job, but I would not allow myself to take a pay cut. I am working again for more money than I was making.
This is only a test of the URL link spot.
Bald spot on head???
Has anyone ever had this happen or know of anyone who has had this happen? My 14-year-old son has a spot on the top of his head that is bald. It's about the size of a quarter. He has never had this and it came all of a sudden a couple of weeks ago. There is no hair growing out of this spot. ~
Should I take him in to have it checked or is this a common thing? I typed it in Google and came up with something called alopecia maybe. ~ I'll take any advice anyone wants to give me. Thanks!!!
I think our bodies are just not made to sit all day in one spot! sm
I have the same problem - I can't sleep at night and I am bored and sleepy all day. I am getting ready to ask to change my work hours so that I can go for a walk for about an hour mid-morning. I used to do that and it helped tremendously with keeping my energy up and helping me sleep at night.
That is also a very sore spot, I agree
I requested the same thing about 2 months ago, could a physician pleaseeeeeee spell a name, especially when wanting a cc sent and was told if I could not find, just to pend the note and so I do. Why they are so against asking for a spelling is just beyond me. That should be a no brainer but noooooo, don’t get a high and mighty physician upset.
