RadGuy, I gottah say this. You'll find someone on this board if you keep posting!! Even though mo
married (happily, others not), you just come off as interested in what we do as MTs (because you understand), you are funny, witty, and have a great personality....
I can just see it now....
You are personally invited to a virtual on-line wedding to celebrate.....
LOL!!
Just gottah share. I read in our local paper about a 3 y.o.battling neuroblastoma sm
a deadly form of cancer. She has undergone 5 chemo treatments and undergoing major surgery on Friday to remove a lemon-sized tumor on her kidney. This story broke my heart. In the article it read that she will undergo 2 stem cell transplants costing 300,000 to 500,000 a piece and her family needs help. They do have insurance, but they will be stuck with whatever insurance does not cover.
So, I forwarded the article to everyone on my email list (plent of them) along with a note stating that if everyone in the city and surrounding city in which we live just gives 25.00 to 50.00 (those who CAN give, not those who simply can't), then we could take care of this precious girl and family! It's times like this when you see the true nature and heart of a person. I have a sister in law whom 3 years ago wrote me this NASTY email after I sent her and many others a email stating that our soldiers were looking for certain items during the start of the Iraq war. She told me NOT to bother her with such nonsense. How cruel can one be? Anyways, I did not send her this article and I won't let idiots intimidate me when all I want to do is help this poor girl!!
I even went so far as to contacging a local web hosting company asking them for a free website for this little girl so that those all across the country can give to this family. And I also thought it would be a great way for the family to share with family and friends across the globe on Chloe's progress and updates! We'll see.
I am going to contact the familyl (after praying about it) and ask if they mind me doing such a thing! I don't think she has a website....
The story broke my heart and I just feel compelled to DO SOMETHING. I have 3 precious children. The thought of any one of them dying from cancer is too much to even bear! I will keep you updated on what the web hoster(s) say about me wanting them to provide a free Chloe website! Cross your fingers and pray for her too. 
Hahaha I like it!

hahaha
and they can call it USI (United States of India Trans___s/l iption Servises. Their website can brag of the great work they do and services they provide for their customers. Like a TAT of 24 to 72 hours, depending on how hard the doctor is. They can boast that they will have a 2 percent accuracy percentage. That is 2 percent if you want the lowest rate which doesnt offer QA services. But your accuracy percentage can go up to almost 50 percent if their experienced QA team glances over your document and can hopefully spell everything right that you dictate. And then there is the only 2 reports out of 100 typed discount where they could only type 2 because they couldn't understand the rest and they cherry picked! And OOPS, there is the no one else to type it cuz the Indians didnt understand you either discount.
HAHAHA
You are all so arrogant. Do you really think your abilities are sooooo keen that you can have this special sense of what poster is who? Actually, I am the one ROFL because you all look so silly. I AM a different poster than the other. I dont work for MQ, just an MT who is SICK AND TIRED of hearing you gripe and complain like infants! Not all MTs have bad attitudes and complain all day long. And just because there may be 2 or more people posting good things doesnt mean they are really just 1 person.
Of course, if it makes you feel better to think that there could only be 1 person who is tired of hearing it, then go ahead and PRETEND.
HELPFUL HINT: If you took all the time you spent complaining and applied it to work, MAYBE you could make more than the 2 dollars an hour you are complaining about.
HAHAHA Whatever do you mean by that?!
HAHAHAHA
There are quite a few good conversations to stay out of here. It's frightening, the character shown on this board! Amusing sometimes...mainly sad and frightening!
I appreciate the information. Thank you!
with a man who is on the down-low.....HAHAHA.nm

Hahaha! OMG!..................nm
nm
hahaha, I like that !......nm
nm
Hahaha....you
soooo should write that note! Hilarious post 
Hahaha Well, now have you had any MT experience at all?
Any education from an MT course?
You WILL have to learn! When I worked at the hospital and trained MTs, it was MUCH easier to train them starting on a specialty or two first, and I usually started with cardiology and orthopedics. Then went to neurology, oncology, infectious disease, and so forth.
Again, that is MY experience and MY perspective. Others may tell you different.
Illegal? Hahaha
Your so-called contract was a statement of what your rate would be at that time. It did not guarantee you any specific amount of work nor pay for any specified length of time.
Go seek help! Go seek an attorney! Throw more of the money you're losing to a cause you won't win.
It's disheartening, I agree. Spheris has done it...know what? They're still in business and they still have great MTs (along with the pitiful ones as well). A few jumped ship when it happened; some came back. New ones came on board. The company moved on and is doing better.
That is what will happen here. I'm not trying to downplay your reaction -- you are right to feel upset about it. But please, please don't waste more of what you are losing by seeking help where you won't find it.
Regarding the F9 feature -- absolutely no company is required to charge clients and pay employees on the same definition...and yes, there is a difference - it is called making a profit. If MQ (or any other MT company) wants to charge clients for a flat rate, a per-minute rate, a per-line rate, a combination of flat rate per report + lines, etc., but pay their MTs only a 65-character line...then that is their right. It isn't any MTs business what/how MQ charges their clients. That's business, period. Not just this industry either.
It IS your business that you be paid what you agreed to under your "contract". However, since they have adjusted their pay scale, that "contract" is null. You have the right not to accept it by quitting. You have as much right to nullify that contract as they do.
This is an exchange -- skills and services for money. If either party doesn't care for how the other is conducting/upholding their end, or if circumstances change, either party can leave. It is called employment at will.
Please, save yourself the money at least. Work on healing the heartache of it.
Hahaha -- I'm confused on who I was even
talking to...you or the one who answered below!!
Oh well, I think we all got each other's points!!
We are really dating ourselves here, huh?! Hahaha
The mother of one of my son's friends said something to that effect to me the other day. She is a stay-at-home mom and they live only on what her husband makes. Great for them. They are very religious. Great.
However, then she proceeded to tell me that if more women would just stay home instead of having to have their SUVs and their face lifts and their fashionable clothes, that the men could then make decent money to support their families.
Once she caught the look on my face, she quickly made a notation that of course that didn't apply to women like ME who had to support a family by themselves. I just smiled.
Again, if I have a billion dollars and want to work -- that's my right and my choice. I don't owe it to any man or any other woman to sit down and not take a job so they can have it!
That kind of thinking is dangerous, in my opinion.
hahaha! Thant's about right! nm

To Mac: HAHAHA - NO JOKE - sm
I absolutely love DEAL OR NO DEAL - *ROFL* - so JOKE OR NO JOKE - answer is NO JOKE sweetie!!!
*winks* @ Mac and laughs!!!! 
HAHAHA ... That's funny - I meant 'obviously' ...sm
I haven't posted on this thread before and there's SO much to read on it! LOL
Thanks for pointing it out.
BTW...I never said I knew everything! Gawwddd, if I DID know everything I sure as heck wouldn't be on this board!! Hahahaha
Hahaha I know. I agree whole-heartedly.
When I first started watching this board, I was shocked. I truly was. Shocked at how infantile a good majority of the posters seemed to be.
Then, it became quite amusing. It is clear to me that what is going on is basically the Dr. Jeckyll/Mr. Hyde syndrome. These MTs must be nice, somewhat professional, decent to anyone who can see their face and know their names. However, give them a chance to be anonymous, where they feel no one will ever know, and their true underlying character surfaces.
They are simply miserable. They feel cheated. They feel they cannot bank (literally, hahaha) on this industry because it isn't what they want it to be. They feel wronged in that they must do hard work for good money or do without. Hard work never hurt anyone; it's lack of it that destroys people.
I have had some very good conversations with a few mature people on this board. People who are intelligent enough to hold differing opinions without being dysfunctional. People who recognize the difference between opinion and fact. People who do not subscribe to the infestation of misery in their attitude.
These children on this board find it perfectly fine for their own opinions to be displayed here (complete with all the little icons and capital letters -- practicing for school, I'm sure -- and slang language) but the minute someone posts who has a different opinion they get all hysterical.
Hahaha It's worth the amusement and the occasional good conversation.
Her name is mother alright. hahaha
Brace yourself. You know it's coming. It's Mother Busy MT'ing (???) Hammer (Preaching) Time!!!!  YOU WILL LISTEN TO BUSY MT'ING!!!!!
Balls instead of chairs - Hahaha
Just thought I'd pass this along in case anyone is tired of sitting in the same old chair everyday while they work. I've seen this "tip" before but never bothered to try it until recently.
I purchased one of those large inflatable exercise balls and use it instead of a chair. It's a very refreshing change. I did have to learn to balance a bit because in a chair you can move around, even when you're not aware of it, and the chair is stable but the ball isn't. It also helps me keep better posture, is easier on the low back/sacrum, and I think it is helping my abdomen because you are working your abdominals and legs while sitting there.
Anyway, it was worth a try for me. I may not use it all the time but it is a great change.
Hahaha. I just know I received it in an email
and regardless of the author, it is well written and speaks my perspective perfectly!
Thanks for the information, though!
Disgusting commercial, huh?! Hahaha
I use Brawny paper towels and Lysol Kitchen spray on counters and appliances. I use plastic scrubbies on the sink and anything I need to scrub up before the dishwasher and the put the scrubbie in the dishwasher as well. I spray Lysol on the sink and faucets before I go to bed.
I started this when I saw Oprah's show on women who horde and won't clean/throw away anything. The experts she had on the show had checked one woman's kitchen sink for bacteria and compared it to her commode and the commode was cleaner! I about fell over. I have dishcloths and dishtowels but they are washed after every single use! Ewwwwww!
Thanks.. just call me blind!!!! hahaha
ROFLMAO - too funny!!!! HAHAHA!! nm
HAHAHA! I LOVE the pic in your post! (sm)
I darn near died laughing when I saw that pic. I needed that today, thanks!
Elavil hahaha YUCK
for the first few days went to work in a very good mood, almost tipsy!!
 
Surprisingly, I did not care for that feeling! 
I had to take it in the morning or else I could not fall asleep!! I have ADD so that might account for the reason I need to take all meds similar to Elavil in the morning.
HAHAHA - AMEN, Patti !!!!!! SM
Like fine wine and cheese.........*grins*
Hahaha sounds like a song.....
the great toe, the toe, the great toe, uh, uh, uh, OH
YEAH!!!!!!!!
HAHAHA, Absolutely love that! nm
.
HAHAHA ... Now there's your million-dollar idea!
.
What are you? A bitter old school marm? Hahaha
All your "PAY ATTENTION" posts. Hahaha
jokes on you busy-body MT. hahaha.
really can we get someone to look into busy MT's background before she receives one more report to transcribe regarding her unfortunate habit of psychopathic lying and associated protesting too much on MT boards? Who knows what lurks IN this deviant mind?
Hahaha this post makes me laugh-$9.69 in NC
No, seriously, I was making $9.69 in Rad at a rural hospital in NC when I came home to work.
hahaha! I've been caught red handed!! lol
NM
HAHAHA - meaning fish don't use bikes....nm

Hahaha! I thought the same thing. He's defintely NOT an MT that's for sure! n/m

Same goes for the ridiculous whining from marrieds and cohabitators...hahaha
It is just as "oh please" to hear marrieds and those with live-ins complain about all they have to "put up with". Same logic applies there -- they asked for their situation as well.
I personally think that parents deserve a little extra appreciation, period.
I have a softer opinion toward single parents as I have been one and I can honestly say that of all the married women I know, I have never seen one marriage that I would give up my lifestyle now for theirs.
So, I suppose we should ALL stop complaining about our own personal lives! We each and every made the decisions that got us here and we make the choice to stay!!
So, in trying to be fair, I'll not do any more extra cheerleading for single parents as long as I don't have to hear the same whine song from marrieds/cohabitators!
hahaha, check out my expander for jobs, haha!
Jobst ...what a dope!
remember when nurses wore the little hats...hahaha
nm
Hahaha. Used to happen to me until I discovered the miracle of coffee! n/m

your sister
If it is this easy for her to do, it sounds to me like you might have to take it a step further after you straighten out this mess, and file some kind of charges, or SOMETHING that would prevent you from getting in future trouble. So sorry for your plight.
You said it, sister! NM
NM
I'm right there with ya, sister...
lots of heathens, drunkards, cheaters, and liars! God bless us every one!!! 
Right on, Sister!
Amen! I couldn't have said it better myself.
Need to help my sister, not sure how.
She is trying to get another job and get out of a bad situation. Her boss, who is weird to begin with, has become increasingly paranoid and strange over the past few months. He is accusing her of stealing and locking her out of some necessary (bookkeeping) parts of her work. It is a landscaping company and she does a lot of the scheduling and bookkeeping stuff. We both wonder if he is on drugs and/or schizophrenic. There are several employees who obviously come to work stoned and/or get stoned on the job (meth probably).
I want to report him to someone, not sure who or how. I mean I want to get him in BIG trouble.  When she leaves, his little company will probably crash. Maybe that is trouble enough.
My sister in law just had it done about
She is a little disappointed in that she is not losing weight as fast as she would like. You go back for appointments and they tighten the band little by little, so you can eat less and less. She has lot about 25 pounds so far and I think that is pretty good for that amount of time. They emphasize that they don't want you to lose it TOO fast.
Insurance covered hers and most likely if you have a high enough BMI (body mass index), insurance would cover it. My SIL told me how much it is without insurance and dang it I can't remember now. For some reason $17,000 is popping into my mind but I am not at all sure about that figure.
Sharon Osborne, Ozzie's wife, had a lap band a few years ago. She used to weigh quite a big more.
Im with u, sister
I just got done with a horrible dicator. I tried my hardest and the report still looked like swiss cheese. If the hospitals would just go to the source and MAKE these ESL dictators take dictation lessons. I would be more than happy to teach. AAAAGGGHH. Thank you for letting me rant!
You got it sister!
I thank my lucky stars that I am skilled enough to make it here at home. I also have children that I think have benefited greatly from me being at home. It is so funny how the "home" interruptions are actually easier than the ones I had experienced working on-site. Sometimes, I felt like my co-workers and the doctors were worse than my children needing pampering and consoling. When I was on-site, I used to say to my transcription co-worker that we should hang-up a sign that says "Complaint Department" because when whoever it may be brought us the work, they also brought their complaints for the day. We would just look at each other and laugh thinking wow, we're really losing out, we should have been psychiatrists. We were so forgotten until something went wrong. No one really noticed when everything went right, if ya' catch my drift. 
Wow you need a big sister-hug right now. - sm
It seems like they got your e-mail,but not your message... If it were me, and I know we all have different situations, but if it were me, I would begin quietly looking for another job. You know what you have right now, and you know what your dream job is, maybe you can find a compromise. If you do it while you are still working, there is not as much pressure to find one right away, and you know that eventually there is a light at the end of the tunnel (hopefull not an oncoming train) so it may not be as hard to take. In the meantime, come here and vent whenever you want, that is part of what we are here for, to get each other through the tough times...
