I find it funny...
I was banned once for placing a :( in response to a post that was asking how a company was. I simply posted a frown face. Next thing I know, I was banned. Then I bought a new computer and suddenly I could get back on. But now someone can get on here and swear and call admin names and they are all over the board and not getting banned. It really doesnt make much sense to me.
Funny, I don't find her negative at all!
you didn't offend me. you offended yourself and males who you know. if you think it's funny,
i don't. and i don't like the buffoon dumb male vs very clever female schtick either. it is degrading to both parties. if the female is so smart, why is she with some dumba$$ guy anyway?
oops - didn't notice "born" that's funny for sure
:)
I didn't find anything about billing, just
header info, when job was dictated and when it was transcribed, who typed it, stuff like that, but nothing about billing or discrepancy in line counts....
Well, I offered that and still didn't find anyone..sm
I ask what they need to be paid. Many state 10, 13, and 15 cpl. Now, 10 is reasonable for an excellent MT, but I highly doubt they are making 15 cpl at their other jobs. If they are, why are they looking (and again, what's the company so I can apply)?!? I'd take a 15-cpl job and latch onto it (assuming it's not a horrid dicator, etc.) I really felt like they were exaggerating line rates hoping I'd want them so badly that I'd put out some kind of miracle offer. I received hundreds of resumes, all with about the same experience and skillsets, so on the contrary, when someone tells me they need 15 cpl to start, I won't even consider them. I'd worry that even if they took the position at 9-10 cpl, they'd always be looking for something better and up and leave within a few months. Also, if you are requesting 15 cpl, then I expect to see 15-cpl test results! When you are asking for 15 cpl but show me the same exact results as someone asking for 9 cpl, I'm going to choose the latter. (Would you buy a designer dress for $400 if the same designer made the same exact dress and sold it through Walmart under a different name for $100?)
Another thing, production and line-count method is key to how much you make as an MT. If someone offers you 15 cpl and it's a 65-char line w/o spaces or headers, template lines don't count, crappy dictators, poor sound quality, etc., then you're still only making 8-9 cpl in the end, just in a prettier package that sounds good on paper.
I googled it and didn't find anything - what are you talking about?

Didn't anyone find it kind of upsetting that
they described the MT as a "typist" and that they showed the substitute wife and the hubby just sitting down and "taking over" her MT job as if anyone could do it without any training or expertise at all??? Also, I was highly irked when they described the other wife who was a car salesman as a "high-powered executive" and the MT as a "stay at home mom" even though she works in a demanding career requiring great expertise 7 to 8 hours a night!!! Maybe I'm overly sensitive but we MTs definitely deserve more respect!!!!!
Never head of TransAmerica and didn't find
anything googling, but if they are TramsAm Associated out of Florida they are as crooked as the day is long. If you search through the archives you'll find lots about them and you won't find one good word. It will cost you to work for them.
Funny how people are different. I find islands/beaches to be totally boring.

Used it with a small service. Didn't find it as easy as ExText. nm

If you're talking about MetroScript, I didn't find that they had any extra fees (sm)
They pretty much only charge you for what you use. I only pay $14.99 per month and it works great for me.
I didn't find an 800 number, but I did find this number...
1 650-253-0000
go to chat room on web site and find out. i'm working but if you find out, let me know.
creepy dude.
You're funny. Ignorant, but funny.
I don't live in NYC and I don't work out of NYC and I make wayyyyy more than $23 an hour, SandyGIRL.
I'm an employee at the largest national and I make anywhere from $58K to $64K a year.
You don't have to believe anyone but you show your ignorance by telling those of us who make that money that we're full of it.
Hahaha
Sorry, that was not an ASR funny, just a regular ole dictation funny. LOL! nm
.
Well of course we know that now. Back then we didn't because he didn't allow unfettered access.

right we children didn't tattle to the administrator did we. BTW, didn't you think we were
because some half-witted idiot said everyone was jealous because some other anonymous poster said they were going to be a doctor. Didn't they call it doctor envy. Oh yeah, that was all about you wasn't it busy-body MT. You with your degree and premed but yet you still post here and acuse others of jealously. I dunno but you and dano seem so close, I can't put my finger on it but I would say you could be computer clones. Jealous indeed. Children indeed. I think you are blowing your covers) dano and busy body MT. This whole "jealously" thing makes me think that you may be one and the same poster.
I didn't go into labor until 2.5 weeks later, so it didn't work. Sorry!...nm

I find most of my abbreviations here. Scroll all the way down until you find the abbreviation box.

What a funny, funny reply. LOL
You are a genius! I am sorry you are ugly and fat. I feel bad for you, but what I can I do to help? Go to a plastic surgeon.
now that's funny, true, but very funny
Anal Association of Medical Treachery.

too funny
girlyman hater, I think you are trolling us here.
the country singer type I have no idea about, but a smart humble guy... science is a plus... bein' good lookin' can't hurt, but I dont want a sweaty singin' cowboy.
*just kidding, but this is how you sound.
funny
When I first started I thought I heard "bologna amputation" instead of below-knee amputation.
thats funny
That is funny, you are right!! Daycares are better than boarding schools. And I also agree that not everyone is cut out to be a stay at home mom. On the other hand, not everyone is cut out to be a daycare provider and that is what the good parents have to worry about.
OH HOW FUNNY
Thank you for the best laugh I have had all week!!!!!! I am cracking up!!!!!!
SO FUNNY
I don't even work for MQ. you think only some people can use BIG LETTERS in their posts? CRACK ME UP! I am just another MT who is TIRED of hearing all the constant complaining. THANKS
That's funny! THank you!!
.
Now that's funny!
ROTFLMAO. Hope my husband doesn't catch me.
Way too funny! I had one doc that said:
Patient states, "I feel like s--t!" I called my boss and said "I'm sorry, I cant type that in there."
I used to work for an old cranky country doc that actually dictated the chief complaint as: "Doc my b--ls are killing me." I told him when I turned in the completed report that I had changed the chief complaint to: Patient complains of testicular pain. He just laughed and said, "That's why I hired ya!"
oh, funny!!!

Those, too! What's really funny is when
you confront an MT who is putting exactly 200 extra spaces at the end of each and every report and they are just DUMBFOUNDED that they are there. They have no clue as to how they could be getting there. So it stops. Then, before you know it, they are there again. Sorry, but they aren't magically putting themselves there. It's a macro, sweetums, and you're happy to be messing with "the man." Typically the same people will do it at the end of paragraphs, too, but of course with fewer spaces. Most of the time no one can see it, no one would think to look for it, but they're there.
The company I worked with called it "creating margin," aka the MT getting more money and happily shafting the facility that gets the transcription bill. Were the MTs told to not do that? Nope. They were not. Shame on the MT, and shame on the MTSOs who condone this behavior.
funny
Last year I made 56,000. This year I stand to make slightly more. I have my own accounts and am self-employed. Also, I do quite a bit of pathology transcription locally. I have done rad also in my time. I am getting ready to get my CMT. You don't have to go to school for this. As a matter of fact, many that do go to school know less than I do, as a lot of schools don't teach what they should these days. It is just a basic fact. Whether you go to school or not doesn't make you a good MT. It is your work ethic and level of committment and actual experience on the job.
Also, you sound so immature in your posts like you are really mad because someone can be successful at MT w/o going to school. How silly is that?
funny you should ask -
It all started with MQ's chapstick (got rid of it). Then, I tried some short of Chap stick - with extra moisture, worked for a while, then back to what it was after MQ's chap stick. Think I will try what I was using before this all happened or plain Vasolene and see how that works and lots of water. I am thinking my lips might be reacting to the sun block in the chapsticks. I just got scared when I read malignant or premalignant condition - WOW!
And what is TOO funny is. . .
The idiots in the SUVs that have 4-wheel drive that pass you doing 70 in a blizzard. Oh yeah, like it isn't SNOWING! Hello? And your 4-wheel drive is designed to get you slowly out of mud, snow, etc., not race down the highway in a snowstorm.
I used to work 20 miles away down a major highway (45 mph speed limit). I saw a total of 12 vehicles off the road in the snow last year in one week. All of them were 4-wheel drive SUVs. Some had flipped over and landed roof side down. Fortunately nobody had serious injuries, but these SUVs would just fly by my little car and leave me in total "white out".
I still don't get it how people who buy these hugh monsters think they are oblivious to snow. It's slippery even if you're walking or driving a military issue Hummer.
Too funny... maybe he got bit (nm)

How funny!!! Ny 18-yo is in the
ready to come home in 2 weeks after being gone since June 06, can't wait to see him!!!!!!! Have a great day all.

his wife
Funny
ER - You are just too darn funny.
What's funny ....
is the petty crap that these "holier than thou" people harp on and on about and then tell others how childish they are. Makes you just sit back and shake your head and say PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH!
You are so funny!
What makes you think because there are 2 people defending Medquist that we must be one and the same? How smallminded of you! Not everyone hates MQ, get it through your fat skull.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE FUNNY
I read your post while listening to Dr."Betyacanttranscribethis!" He is an ESL and cardiac to boot. (Why is it always that way?)Thanks for the chuckle.
too funny!
You gave me a good laugh. Thanks for that!!!!
I really did think they were funny
You have to admit, this board is lousy without them. They kept the emotions high! I bet you MTstars will not have the turn out they have had the last few days with all the drama that has been going on - GUARANTEED! They were the life of the party - and this party has done and fizzled out!
It's really not funny, if
you want to be humerous, there are many more less offensive ways to do it. Even if everyone on this site is fat and ugly, so-- What? People don't want to read that. It would be greatly appreciated by most who visit this board if you would stop doing this.
very funny...nm
FUNNY!!!!
That's about it!!
