MDs stop and edit and think what a stupid a$$ MT and service we have and make a mental note to d/c s
No MDs do not give a care if they say p.o. that we change it to by mouth. It is much easier to read and understand p.o. for professionals who are speed reading a report for the bottom line on a patient. They do't stop to say, Oh, so that's what p.o. means. I thought maybe someone would mistake it for post office and that's a good thing. Thank you MT. You're one step in front of your good old tired doctor. This is crazy.
Just make a note in your book and go on. Every book I read you can find an error
or 2. Nobody is perfect. Lucky you only paid $60. New it is $80 or more.
Details?
Can you give us any particulars as to what goes on? Is it like the dolphin industry used to be with indiscriminate capturing of dolphins along with the tuna? Is it the numbers that are horrific (heading them towards extinction), is it the method they use, or what? We all know that seal hunting goes on, done by the Inuit and so on, but has it spilled over commercially? Please let us know and tell us some FACTS. I am a softie but I do not like to be manipulated falsely, either. Care to comment?
(For the record, I would definitely boycott their food and tell them why, as well, if you relay true and brutal information.)
details
Need to know a bit more about the account. Tapes with p/u and delivery, printing, or will it be all digital? Are you doing gross or cpl? What is their volume? Just me but if it were pick up and delivery of tapes and printed material, I would probably go for 0.12 cpl. With the same dictators and chart notes you will be able to get a lot of standards set up and Auto Corrects and so should be able to get close to 300 lines per hour once you are used to the account. Do a search as this has been discussed many, many times in the past. What do you want to make per hour?
To Need Details
Hi, I can answer a couple of your questions. HandyBits is a free download to encrypt files. After you encrypt them, you send them as email attachments. It's very easy and after you encrypt them there's a red circle on each file showing that it's encrypted. Hope this helps!
details..
It was all over this board a few years ago. I'll try to find it and gladly pass along the info.
Details, please?
With regard to the horrible account in Florida, what exactly renders it horrible? Is it poor sound quality, horrible ESL, no work, or something else (or all of the above, lol)? When I hear an MT generalize as horrible, all sorts of nightmarish possibilities run thru my addled brain.
Thanks in advance :-)
Details---I will explain
Promised there would be others on my accounts in the hours I worked there was never a single person on during the hours I worked on Army accounts. It was a huge disappointment. After being with for a month they finally got me the IM list it was never loaded when software was installed. I know several others here in my state that have worked for them and have quit for the same reasons. Poor management......
what exactly are these three MTs suing about? Any details? Do they
That sounds like you want details
so you can live vicariously?
Could you please give more details on what
kind of macros you use? I'd appreciate it immensely.
There is something new - Registered MTs - but I don't know details
dd
yes, give us some details. we all need 60K
how many hours a week?
Please let me know the details of the union.
Yes we do need a union
I would just keep it basic, without details. - sm
When I left my ex-employer, I had all kinds of grievances. But the bottom line is, they already knew each and every one of them, because I had already told management about them (in addition to the other MTs telling them the same things!) As an inhouse job, they also dud exit interviews. I skipped that, too. If there was something they didn't know about why I or anyone else that worked there was leaving, they could just figure it out for themselves.
I don't know any details, but my hubby
Bush sending checks out again. He wasn't sure of the amount though, and I didn't ask him where he heard it. Would be awful nice though huh? 
I'm a home MT but I can see details
of time of dictation and transcription of my work and other work. If you don't have access to see what has been typed and when it was dictated to confirm your suspicion of cherrypicking, then you need to ask what is going on. If they play dumb, tell them you can't afford to do all garbage all the time and that you will be looking for a new company with fair work distribution. See if they find some good work for you in a hurry.
I will give you details, no BS
I make 35 to 40K a year. I work for MQ. I have 13+ years experience. I do acute care, lots of ops, about 50% ESL, 20% ASR, and use expansions extensively. I work my schedule (split shift), 8 hours a day 5 days a week. I don't allow interuptions while working, and I do not browse this board while working. I take advantage of any OT. I appreciate the national pool when my accounts run low. I have been with other companies who run out of work a lot and came back to MQ because I have a family to feed and need the consistent work and paycheck MQ offers. I have never been without a job as MT.
I know many MTs who make as much and some more than I do, some with their own accounts and some full time with nationals.
Just my personal experience.
Ah, the truth is in the details. :)
You didn't say another program was being used to cap for you. My Instant Text automatically caps for me where Word will not.
I too am from Monrovia and have yet to hear any details!
Please share if anyone finds anything out! 
Yes....$50 per week...details inside..SM
What a God-Send it is ! We have 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2600 sq. ft altogether. She cleans top to bottom, changes linens, hand scrubs my kitchen floor (tile), and does "extras" once monthly such as Murphy's oil to my kitchen cabinets, cleans out the refrig, cleans the oven (self clean but racks too), cleans the windows, 2 per week, baseboards, high dusting, pulls out the refrig every 4 months, and any other projects we do together such as cleaning out cabinets, closets, pantry, etc. It is SO worth it. My hubby and I used to argue about whose job it was to clean (when I worked outside the home), so someone suggested a cleaning lady and it was worth not arguing. I kept her when I started working at home. I get paid for something I do well, and I am the first to pay others when they can do something better than me and something I HATE to do (toilets anyone?)...She is there for about 4 hours every week. Hope this helps you! It sure helps me and I thank her when she gets here and thank her again when she leaves!
independent setup details
Have you considered a consultant? I know a very good one who not only works with independent transcriptionists but also assists acute care facilities with new information systems. I would be happy to send you the info.
Find us the details of this lawsuit.

Details? Just general accusations do no good sm
A lot of generalized mud slinging with absolutely no facts. I'm very, very happy at OSi...best move of my career going with them.
You can also get the details of the line count. That's very interesting.
For those who want to see how MQ arrives at your line count or want to see the old report. It's Greek to ME but geeks might learn a thing or two about MQ "weights" and line counts. Let me know if you find anything out of whack or interesting!!!
Without knowing the details of your finanacial situation . . .
it's impossible to know. If you have good credit 18 points shouldn't be hard to do. Didn't he have any other suggestions? One thing you can do is, if you have a good banking relationship, get a small signature loan from that bank and pay it back in 30 days. That will raise your score, but ONLY if the bank doesn't pull a credit report, since that takes off a few points. Get a $500 or $1000 loan, let it sit in your account, and then pay it back. It will only cost a month's interest and should raise your score enough.
Details please, or this kind of post isn't very helpful. nm

You need somebody to write a macro for you and they would need specific details, sm
such as the full path of the folder where your documents are stored. You'd probably have to pay somebody to write the macro for you if you can't write them yourself. Sometimes you can get people to volunteer to write a macro on various MS Word tech support boards.
Get a refund? Check details of your auction
Hopefully your auction included the potenitality of a refund (buyer may or may not have known of a defect) and there is often a buyer's protection offered for items of this amount. Check out those possibilities quickly as you don't have unlimited time to make a claim.
I would unplug the C-phone and then unseat and re-seat all connectors. Make sure you have the connectors in the right way, and also of course check that volume control :) !
good luck.
I don't have time to refer to reference the law details but (sm)
Check out:

You'd be surprised!
An employer has the right to answer questions, but a prospective employer is limited as to what they can ask. Unfortunately, not enough smaller businesses know and follow these rules, thus a terminated employee ends up being blackballed.
Not OP and don't care to discuss details BUT OSI hired for a specific
specialty that most MTs love and then overstaffed the account. When MTs ran out of work on that speciality account, OSI offered to switch them to another speciality on a more difficult account. To go to work with OSI required much time testing, negotiating, training and specific equipment purchased so you have already made a time and financial investment only to discover that the specialty you were promised doesn't have enough work so to survive you either take the back-up account which is not as financially rewarding as the one you were promised or you lose the money and time you have put into going to work with OSI. I also quit my other job so I could work full time for OSI based on promises made that were never intended to be kept.
. (This is me after discovering what OSI was all about and not at all as promised)
I already know the details, hubby downloading porn while wife
William Hung. see message for the juicy details.
I tell you I thought I died and went to Heaven when William Hung sung that song, Shake your bon bon!
Ricky Martin, MOVE OVER!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm confused about logging in and such....do we have to enter our details with every post?
Hi,
I'm a bit confused about posting on MTstars. It seems I have to fill out my name, email and subject, with each post. Then I have to type in a number in response to a confirmation box.
Is this how MTstars works? I thought we had to just log in and would remain that way for a whole session?
Anyone care to comment (i.e. explain how it works to my confused brain).
Cheers.

Thanks for your note. SM
I think this problem must be specific to my particular account. I have tried all the things we were told, clearing, entering new names to try, etc. Thanks again.
Note to MQ: What would be
retired MTs in your workflow room and being TC's.>?
I am so tired of dealing with haughty people who don't have a clue
why I need something or what I do - and on top of them coping an
attitude with me because I get exasperated with their inability
to do their job which is make the work flow.
If MQ had people hired in their work flow areas who had worked inside
the world of transcription and knew where it goes in a hospital,
what to look at on the screens of the machines in the work flow rooms,
etc etc we wouldn't be getting hysterical messages all the time about
not meeting turn around times.
But no! they want to hire first-time jobbers to be in control of the lives
of people who have been in the business usually upwards of 15 years
in order to even do this MT job at home with no help or assistance -
and then make us put up with them and at the same time try to make a living.
I don't want a doctor operating me who has never been inside a hospital, and I
am sick to death of dealing with people in a transcription company
who has never been inside a hospital and followed a REPORT around.
They need to see WHY A REPORT is done - HOW IT IS DONE
They need to go to dictate stations - they need to go in a medical records
area and look at charts - go inside an OR - and into the ICU
they need to see how the world of medicine is and how it operates.
Only then will they understand TATs, reports, and why things are done as they
are or at least why people want them done a certain way.
Like if I keep getting dictations with LOUD BUZZING - i don't want to keep getting
LOUD BUZZING - I want to let the hospital know there is probably a bad phone
instrument - and if this work flow person sees where dictation is done he will
understand it wouldn't take much to MAKE THE BUZZING STOP - and not get
pissy with me because I'd like to talk to somebody about LOUD BUZZING ON
REPORTS. - It's not rocket science - just need to let somebody know.
I know this isn't a note, but
maybe this will be of some help, I'm still searching for a note.

Anyway, sorry, on a more serious note...
as regards your problem: Do you have Ad-Aware and SpyBot and have you run those? If you have run those and are still not finding anything, you might want to try a trial of this program I just downloaded myself and seems to have gotten rid of this darned WinFix (Virtumond?) pop-up problem I've been having recently that my Ad-Aware and Spybot couldn't seem to take care of. Dang, I might actually buy this one! But anyway, you can use it for 2 weeks, I think it is, for free (see link below).
Just a note: There are two MTs that I will not SM
use to this day - 15 years down the road - because they did this. They will never get a recommendation from me and they will never sub for me.
You leave a long trail when you do something like this.
on another note
I know a lot of people believe as you do, but in my family I have seen lots of evidence to contradict this theory.
I don't condemn anyone who overdrinks, but I think we spend too much time in our culture blaming genetics and other people - mostly our parents - for our own poor choices and bad behaviors.
Bottom line is, the alcohol does not force itself into anyone's mouth and neither do the drugs. To me, drugs include not just the street drugs, but the legally obtained prescription drugs that so many people rely on to get them through the day (do not flame me about arthritis meds, etc. taken for legitimate conditions).
P.S. and it's an OP note!
nm
On that same note...
I wonder if any of you report errors you notice in other reports to the QA at your office. I have seen some doozies, but I admit I have been remiss. I just wanted to know what the rest of you do, even if the report is old.
sorry -- BAD day. (no note)
.
NOTE,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,nm
nm
perhaps you could drop your TC a note...sm
just to say hi, and welcome. She/he has many, many more people to get in touch with than you do, so why not make the first move? I'm not at all trying to be ugly, please don't take it that way, it's just, why not just send a message saying hi, and introducing yourself? Just a thought! Good luck with whatever you choose to do!!! 
perhaps you could drop your TC a note...
I guess you mean Transcription Coordinator -- what I called my new supervisor. I hear you, but I really don't see that as my responsiblity. MQ is so chaotic, I always get the impression they'd greatly prefer not to be bothered. I'm kinda way past that point with that. Thanks for the welcome anyhow.
perhaps you could drop your TC a note...
I think you've misunderstood me. I agree completely with your most recent post, i.e. being left alone to do my job. Absolutely. I just don't think a courtesy note from a new supervisor is too much to ask. That's not breathing down my neck; IMO, that's courtesy, i.e. Here I am, I'm your new supervisor, here's how things may or may not change, just wanted to say hi and make proper notation of the fact that a change has taken place. WHATEVER.
perhaps you could drop your TC a note...
Okay, now you're making me mad. You don't know me, and you have no right to lump me into a goup with "(my) fellow nut-case MTs" ...and you have the gall to say "nothing personal"? Freakish behavior? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! Wow, I came on here looking for some support, and now I'm a freak and a nut case. No thanks! See y'all around!!!
