e-mail address because it is not revealed when they send mail because we have spam protection in place.  The only way they would know what your email address is, is if you reply to the email they send you.  If you don't want to receive any email from anyone, simply do not enter your email address in the Email field.

It is important that each reader and poster understand the safety of their information on MTStars:

 Email Addresses

Email addresses should never be typed into a post in any way.  The email address you validate to have posting privileges is never given or sold to any individual, group, company or association. 

You may receive emails to that address from others using the Reply By Email option on one of your posts.  If you receive an email through the MTStars board, it will provide the URL to the post it is referencing.  Your email address is still not exposed at this point.  The person sending an email does not see your email address but has simply filled in an online form to send you the email.  If you choose to reply to the email sent to you, then you have actively chosen to expose your email address to the person emailing you. 

MTStars does not recommend that you respond to any unsolicited email unless you are certain of the validity of the sender.  Anyone can send you an email through the Reply By Email option on any post you make.  It will go to the email address you used to validate that post.

IP Addresses

Your IP address is private and confidential.  It is never given or sold to any individual, group, company or association. 

Depending on the email agent you use, if you respond to an email sent to you (or if you send an email to someone outside of the MTStars board at any time), your IP address may be traceable through your email. 

Can companies or individuals find out your identity? 

Yes.  Not through exposure of your information (email or IP address) but through recognizing situations you describe or other information provided by you when you post.  It is deductive reasoning.  If YOU provide enough information, you may be effectively “signing” your post.  This is true on any board, whether open publicly or not.  Even private boards cannot guarantee who their membership really is. 

Do companies and associations read MTStars?

Yes.  Anyone can read MTStars.  Information posted is searchable on the Internet.  Even a private board can be read by anyone who registers as a member. 

Making claims that MTStars provides, gives, exposes or sells your email address or IP address is a libelous claim and will not be tolerated. 

If you have any questions, please contact the Administrator or Moderator directly.

and is protected from bots that glean email addresses from websites.  As far as that email is concerned, it has been cycling around for years and anyone could receive it.

Believe me. Nobody cares that you're tired and nobody cares that you're mad. They aren't even thinking about you. They probably wouldn't care about the mess, either.

To get some peace, you have to have some help. There is no reason on God's green earth for you to be a maid to a family of capable people.

acute care, mostly Ops.  I don't utilize my Expander as much as I should/could.  I have about 85% ESLs, though most of them are pretty good and I don't have to strain to understand them.  I'm one of the weird MTs that prefers short reports to long ones, although there are a few doctors I do that have very calm voices and I enjoy long reports by them.   I have 20 years in the business.  The very first day I did MT I did 667 lines with no expander.  I had no MT training, just had a knack for it, and had no MT schooling, though I had taken a 2-year health occupations class in high school.   I was paid by gross line, few ESLs back then.  Started off doing acute care, got paid by gross line.  I don't know how much I made a year though.  I'm not a fast producer and like I said before don't utilize my expander enough, but the quality of my work is very good.

I know MTs who are very fast, don't proof their work, and it is full of errors.  I know MTs, newbies and oldies who feel it isn't their job to proof their work - they get paid to produce lines.   A monkey can produce lines, voice recognition can produce lines, offshore MTs can produce lines, but if anyone has had to edit any of the VR work or offshore work you know it isn't client ready work.

As more and more companies offshore (and yes the best stuff usually is sent offshore) it gets harder to make the lines/money.   Companies are always trying to figure out a way to mess with line counts so while you may be doing more lines it doesn't reveal that.  U.S. companies are also up against offshore companies where the cost of living is much less and they can offer a lower rate, so the U.S. rates are lower and raises rarely happen.  When I first started I was making 6 cpl/gross line, 6 months later got 6.5 cpl as an employee.  There are companies offering ICs that rate now.  If you are a newbie you probably aren't going to do much better to start with, but that rate is an insult.

Hopefully people will start investing this business on the front end so they don't waste money for a crappy school, think they can get a job fresh out of school and have a baby on the way that they want to stay home with, and aren't counting their money already. 

I guess that is a small pleasure for those of you who have lowered your expectations for the company you work for. 

Bet you're married to a fat bald guy too. 

who is in San Antonio and may be able to help you.

I'm in Corpus.

and again, the ones who continuously whine and complain regarding MQ-this and MQ-that, it's nerve racking! My point, and this is the last time I will state it, is it is embarassing FOR ME, mind you, speaking for no one else here, to be associated with these whiny babies! Simple enough for ya? I am not backtracking at all, I simply retracted one word that seems to have gotten SOME OF YA riled up! So there, and I am NOT AND WILL NEVER BE a Clinton fan.  That ticks me off more than anything anyone could say to me!

Anyone out there who works for MQ agree with me? Please come to my defense!

the dictating physician will often forget to say the doctor's first name, and there will be 20 Dr. So-and-sos listed.  Or they spell the easy names like Smith, but not the difficult ones that they mangle the pronunciation on.  Then they carbon copy six different physicians.  I've got the hospital directory, online hospital website, online physician address lookup, Google, and other resources, but it's still very time consuming.

I'm thinking I like Meditech better.  LOL  At least everything was in there.  F7, F10, arrow down, save, you're done.

I will be glad to send you a copy of the E-mail that they sent me.  But everyother time anyone has E-mailed me from this board it always states either in the subject line or somewhere that it is in response to a post on the board.  This definitely was not and there is nowhere else that Spheris could have gotten my address and see above there was someone else that got it also.  So they are getting it someway.
