Part of the reason employers are getting away with - sm
turning MT into cheap sweatshop labor is because most people don't even know this problem even exists. It is the healthcare industry's "dirty little secret". If this skeleton in the closet of doctors & hospitals throughout the country were to be made PUBLIC (i.e., 60 Minutes,) maybe it would give us a foot in the door to getting things turned around, before we all have to move to India in order to survive in this business.
That's a big part of the reason I work from home.
I can't deal with traffic any more. People are just horrible, rude, dangerous drivers these days. It's not just older people or teenagers, it's EVERYONE!!! Like George Carlin always said, they're all jerks and *&$*%^* out there. I get absolutely tense and exhausted when I have to drive a lot. I don't even live in a big city. That really scares me, like when I drove around Las Vegas on vacation. I used to race (amateur) stock and muscle cars, and it's safer on the track than on the street. As it is, some stupid guy rear-ended my husband in my car, so I have to get it fixed now anyways.
Well, part of the reason I do NOT work in an office sm
is so that I CAN take the time to stop and feed my child, or put a band-aid on a scraped knee, or read a quick story... My children are a priority to me and the distraction they cause is acceptable for me. That doesn't make my work ethic any less than yours IMO, I work more hours probably. I work some nights after the rest of my family is sleeping. My work ethic is such that I get my work done and still give time to my children when they need it.
I think part of the reason many people accept -
such low rates *to start* is that they don't realize that very likely, other than maybe gaining a little speed once they're familiar with the software & their accounts, that is all they're going to get. Merit or cost-of-living raises? Nuh-uh.
The easy part is making the decision to leave, the hard part is
actually doing it. Been in your shoes and it took me a year and a half to leave after I had made the decision to do so. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself and my girls. I had family and friends and a counselor telling me what needed to be done and I knew what needed to be done but until I had the courage on my own to do it I stayed. One day, we had an argument and he spit in my face and that was the last straw for me. Even though it is something that I will NEVER forget, that day is also a day I will never forget because it is the day that I took my kids and left. I am a single mom of 2 and have been single and supporting us for 5 years now. I have been healing ever since and still am to this day. You can do this. I know that if I hadn't have left and I would have stayed one of us would be dead by now or both.
B. No and E. Who cares. nm

No and Who Cares.
Who cares really...I mean is this.....
really important? I can tell you that my life is no different now than before. I agree with the other poster...if it will pay off the mortgage or make a payment then I will care, otherwise, NO!
who cares, he is...
Who really cares, Jay? sm
Are you the same Jay who used to be so vocal AGAINST the AAMT and offshoring and you are now their biggest fan? Well, that says a lot about you, doesn't it? Cheerleader #1!!! The AAMT failed it's biggest test. Defending and protecting the AMERICAN MT. Then, let's have the annual convention in Hawaii, when a lot of us, Jay, are making a lot less money than we used to. We don't have the money to go to Hawaii, Jay. Get the picture? At any rate, whatever floats your boat. The AAMT is bogus. Maasalamah!!!
Nobody cares who the MVP is..
Take this nonsense somewhere else...PLEASE!
yea, right...NOT...he cares nothing about u...nm
Who cares how old it was
it is STILL happening!!!! That's the point. You just don't get it, do you. Well, you never will then. Good bye! Have to go!!!
Maybe it's not where OP is from. Who cares
x
Nobody but us cares.
x
And if nobody cares.... sm
Why should you? :D
awwww who CARES?????
That person probably has 10 kids of their own. Who cares???? If you can support 'em pop 'em out like a friggin rabbit for all I care. That poster just needs some lemonade and then they will be happy, happy, happy. Do you remember the happy, happy, happy poster?
Dont believe me, who cares?
How silly you are. Dont believe me, I dont care. MQ has been sold. I will post again once you get the news from MQ. I will post *I told ya so*.
I do acute cares and can do 250...
not sure what you mean by copy and paste. I have text Expanders and "normals" that I use that really help, they are built into Chartscript or it may be called SoftWeb and you can add all the shortcuts you want. I am trying to learn the abcdz system of short cutting.
Who cares if you will be perceived
as a troublemaker? There are as many of us involved in the association as you who are disgusted with the status quo and my suggestion is that you ride it out and run for office and move the problem folks to the back burner. Believe me, it can be done. Women, unfortunately, allow themselves to be herded and if you don't like that notion then you have to stay and do something about it. Things don't make sense if you don't make them make sense. If your state organization is running amuck .. report them to Modesto .. talk to Peter Preziosi directly and tell him straight out that you want action. I think you would be very happy you chose to talk to him.
Who cares what solicitors think!
And if they think you are cranky, then maybe they won't have the nerve to stop by!! Solicitors are so annoying!!! I say, get a sign, "NO SOLICITING!"
who even cares anymore what the BOS says?
not me!
Ok. GET A LIFE! Nobody cares about JLG.

Oh brother. Who cares?

im sorry, you think Obama cares about MTs?
yea, right. im sure all the politicians do, but newsflash Obama as a president is NOT healthy for small businesses
bottom l ine there needs to be a standardized MT industry, but nobody steps up to the plate to create it. The general public has no idea you think? You think they'd like it if their medical records were being done overseas? not so sure most would... they just dont KNOW it. who fights for us anyway?
No one really cares what your typing.
Don't you get it and even if they did they wouldn't know what they are reading anyway. Furthermore, there is something called minimize!!! It's on your screen, check it out some time, it actually minimizes the screen so no one can read your important secret information.
It amazes me how people can jump on here and just judge away and sit back and think they are just so above everyone else. No one cares, get it?
I really do not like Oprah or her show! Who cares? !

Love Elton... Who cares (sm)
what he does in the privacy of his own home & life? I never saw such narrow minded people. Remember the story about glass houses... Watch someone may cast a stone to you! Lets just hope nothing you do will SHOCK anyone. Just disgusted with this conversation. Be happy for him. Life is short to spend it alone!!
Who cares about dinner? JESUS is

Who cares, we all have the same initials at one time or another. nm

who cares about pats on the back,
just show me the money!
I have not worked for a doctor yet who cares about BOS.
It is the transcription company owners who sell it not the doctors or facilities. None of my docs want anything to do with the single space after a period. They all still accept the 1-10 spelled out too, amoung other things. They do not have the time to nitpic over stuff that the AAMT group is so fixated on. They want to practice medicine and be given well transcribed, neat, correct documents and that is exactly what I do. I say if you want to start your own...go for it! Transcription companies will tell their Transcriptionist to do it their way anyway and someone out there might like your ideas better!
don't know...I just don't....laziness?? but on this forum, who cares? nm

That's the problem, nobody cares about anybody else anymore. SM
I'm not an idiot. I work for the paycheck and I know the MTSO's are in it for the money. Yes, business is business, but let me tell you, I've had a boss like you, Minnie. A boss that could care less about her employees personal situation or how it affects their job. She didn't want to know anything about her employees except that they can do the job. She wanted us to punch the timeclock and type 8 hours at full speed and to heck with everything else. So what if one of us was a single mom trying to make ends meet. So what if someone had a death in the family and was distracted. So what if another had just gone through a divorce and was having a little trouble feeling motivated. Who cares? She didn't.
And not Minnie either, apparently.
That boss who didn't care about me, got the bare minimum out of me. When work was out of TAT and she wanted people to volunteer for OT, do you think I volunteered? When someone called in sick and she needed someone to cover the weekend, do you think I volunteered?
Now I have a boss who truly cares about me and all her employees at the hospital I currently work for. We love her and she loves us. She wants to know why we're having a bad day. She sends us cards to make us feel better. And when our production falls off, she is always understanding. That does mean she is a push over. She knows when someone is taking advantage and she is fully prepared to discipline if the occasion calls for it, but she knows who doesn't take advantage and is willing to give and to those of us she trusts, she extends to us her kindness, compassion, and understanding.
And do you know what? All of us would do anything for her because she would do the same for us. I work OT whenever she needs it. I have changed my shift to working until midnight because she asked me to and needed the coverage while someone was off getting surgery. In turn, when my step-nephew was killed in a car accident, even though he wasn't a blood relative and didn't technically qualify for me to take bereavement leave, she let me take it anyway because I needed to help my sister and brother-in-law (it was his son). And when my daughter has a field trip, she lets me flex my hours so I can go. And when it was basketball season with my son, again I was able to flex my hours so I could make all of his games.
Do you see where I'm going with this?
People should care about other people. We should care that someone is a single mom and is struggling and we should offer our support and help if we can. And the MTSO's should care about their people. Happy people work harder. If you show your people you care about them, they will work harder for you because they want to and they appreciate you.
Minnie, if I worked with you or for you... well I wouldn't work for you long, let's just say that.
Nobody cares? Did you take a vote? I am interested.

Show of Hands, Who Cares?
I think you belong on the "other" board. They love to look/talk down to people there.
Advance is irrelevant. Who cares what they say?
x
No one cares. I have told many people SM
their medical reports are going offshore and NO ONE CAREES. They look at me and smile, like I have just escaped from an institution. They don't give a flying fig where their reports are done. They don't even read them.
That's pretty sad...almost every doc I know cares about people.
They usually get out of that *I'm doing this to get rich* phase during their residency.
exactly.... you think the average person knows? or cares?
im wondering how the average person would react to knowing their records are taken care of overseas. Do you really think it matters? Or does it just matter to us because it is our jobs?
I hope more people do care, but how are they even aware of it? How many people actually even look at their medical records, ever?
This is an extremely frustrating time and I wish that there were more of us that could make a difference, but I'm very, very pessimistic.
Not that anybody cares, but my husband's birthday is today and he's 41.

Who cares - he's a liberal loony freak anyway.

Who Cares? I'm listening to their music, not moving in with him.

as long as it is not a legal document, who cares?--nm

I'm not preaching. And anyone who cares is still paying attention. SM
If you don't care, then you'll be without a job soon enough. The rest of us will try elevate medical transcription while you work for pennies and compete with the Indians.
Disgusting is an understatement but nobody can/will stop it. Nobody cares but us is right.
How can they have "English typing skills" but not need to know how to speak English? How can they understand it if they can't speak it? Mind boggling. And how do they get away with it? Because it's cheap and JACHO doesn't care nor does the organization formerly known as AAMT (new title without "American" and "Transcriptionist").
Give up the troll thing. It is so over. Who cares?
x
rediculous, ridiculous..whatever! who cares about spelling on here?
This is a discussion board...who cares about the dang spelling of a word. we have to be perfect with our daily work...let us have fun on here and not give a crap about proofreading!
You're anonymous and demanding to know? Who cares? We come
to chat and get advice and these boards are made available to us at no charge. Who cares who "owns" it?
really, no one cares, we're all tired at times. NM
you could lighten up and not humiliate. it's not necessary, in all fairness and kindness.
who really cares? personable, angry, bitter, just do your work.
I don't really know the purpose of a supervisor so I guess I don't really care what their tone is. I have been through MANY supervisors. I don't really care about their tone. I do my work no matter what they say or do.
