Well, lets hope they keep the regulars on their own accounts because the hospitals know who types

In Reply to: my office was not a recent closure - sm
regularly in those accounts and how the work is and if there is no complaining from the doctors and all of a sudden when you start throwing a whole bunch of new backups in there and the docs start complaining the hospitals can look in those systems and see who is working and then they call and complain to the MQ office and some have threatened to leave if the situation doesnt get straightened out which means you go back to just the regulars that really know the hospital.

Lets hope it is not geared line count per hour the way we run out of work and are in so many
other accounts all the time. Boy that would be bad.
"I would like to get a Radiology accounts with a hospitals." Yikes!
.
Ya know, some hospitals/accounts want fragmented sentences...sm
Some look at it as a technical document and fragments are okay with them.
Just saying.......
I hope more hospitals hire in-house again, and then
possibly they will let you work at home down the road but still be an employee for the hospital at an hourly rate with benefits. Other major companies do it. I have a friend who is a registered nurse and she works at home for UnitedHealthcare as an employee doing casework manager.
Thanks for saying what I and most regulars here feel....sm
IT'S CALLED HONEST REPRESENTATION. Why have you not decided to rename the site to something such as MTStars Universal or MTStars Pakistan, to at least give those visiting the site who have no clue a chance to have the facts and either visit the site or leave. It's not the fact that the site is now foreign owned. It appears rather that administration has chosen not to reveal this deserved information and make it readily available in a visible location on the website (try the home page, almost everyone new viewer will see it there). It actually looks like someone is trying to hide behind the scenes of an old domain name (known to be previously managed in the U.S.)and almost appearing to try to fool others. This is a classic example why some U.S. citizens, particularly U.S. MTs, have a problem with our overseas competition. Be honest in your advertisement and identify yourself as a foreign owned domain with the changes posted directly on the home page. If you are hiding nothing, this should not be a problem. You would be amazed how many people in this country will catch on to this in a very short period of time.
Yeah, but hospitals are already largely using VR in hospitals. (nm)

lets do it

How about zillions of accounts. MQ has these accounts so overloaded even the new hires dont have any
work. I would love to read some of these reports and then they expect perfect QA and no blanks. Did they lose their minds completely.
PLEASE, lets drop this....
I got the help I needed for today. Let's just drop it.
not sure where my link went but lets try again

a key fob lets you into some place
I live in a huge complex and each building has their own electronic box (boxes) on every door that the owners/residents use a key-fob for to enter...the gym, any external door, business center, conference room, etc.
Is that what you're speaking of? Something that is usually plastic and hangs on a keychain to allow entrance somewhere......
How to get job that lets you earn only up to
x
IF MQ LETS YOU GO, ARE YOU GOING TO REFUSE TO TAKE $$ FROM THEM?
Be honest.
DECREASE IN PAY!! LETS REBEL
they want to decrease our ME pay by 20%. we need to all be asked to go back to MTs and earn what we are worth
Lets ask Frank about spaces
Well, maybe all us MQ workers should send a friendly letter to Frank (isnt he still the CEO?) and ask if we get paid for spaces. I have been told in the past I do, however, I have noted a decrease in lines when switching to DQS and dont know where those lines went. I have to work one to two hours more a day to make the same line count I made on Cottage, in the **good old days**..OMG, not paying for spaces? Well, then maybe we should not space between words or sentences, cause it takes our thumb to hit the key board and know when to space, Im working here..It working to put in spaces..I should be paid!!..Or, okay, dont pay me for spaces, then pay me more for my lines and my intelligence and my knowledge of medical..
There you go, lets have a thread about old cars!!!
yeah.
GO PANTHERS !!! Made it once, lets do it again. nm
What version are you using? Mine lets me do that. sm
I checked to see if there was a setting you need to adjust, but could not find one. I use an older version 8.70b, and it lets me do that, but I know the older versions than what I have did not allow that.
Try a noise machine - we have one that lets you....sm
choose between the sounds of a waterfall, crickets chirping, and other sounds that I got my daughter for $10 at Target. Good luck!
what job lets you decide how much money

Lets cut all cables to India! sm
You know, some other countries don't permit their citizens to access US websites because of salacious content.
I say, we should not be allowed access via the internet to ANY third world backwater where they are sending American jobs!!!!
We should also block content to said polluted backwaters if it involves employment in this country.
Keep America great, preserve our borders real and virtual. Keep American jobs for Americans and LEGAL immigrants.
umm yeah and please learn to speak English.
lets us know whether or not we need to open the post. NM

I hope this applies to companies like Medquist. I hope there
isn't a way they can get around it. I REALLY hope.
What company lets you work off the clock?
I prefer to work off the clock for my extra lines.

If the system lets you access old reports, you'll have

Lets bottom line this, say she leaves and goes to another company
What do you think would be her chances of them going to VR? Do you think it will go poof and disappear? Do you think refusing to take lower wages makes the companies take notice and reverse to go back to the golden days when we had really good salaries? Be willing to bet that next paycheck most would go along with their companies going to VR rather than changing, going to a new job only to find out the same thing happens there.
Lets try this again. With all the big nationals running us out or work and lowering our wages what
do you suggest.
Here I was worried about groceries. Lets worry about your stuff. Its easier.
;P
The accounts are old and she keeps her accounts TRUSTING she hired the right MTs
who if in doubt will ask questions regarding reports. No one can find all mistakes in all reports and that is human to have a report with perhaps a typo. You think anyone reads through all the reports of a national company before they get to the hospital? Not a chance. Some random QA is supposed to correct all mistakes? Not hardly. Doctors/dictators make mistakes too. We all do. So do QA people. So the thing is this person hires good people who are trustworthy, the hospital likes the way she does their account and life goes on quite nicely w/o hovering editors/QA people. BTW, who QAs the QA people on your accounts. Ever wonder?
I'm 45 and have done all types (sm)
of transcription. I did formal training for MT in 1998, after my training I was doing pretty well. Now that I am getting nothing but leftover, terrible dictators doing medical transcription, I make more money doing general transcription.
NOT planning on taking on anymore medical dictation since the offshoring got going. It has been a nightmare to find decent accounts, companies and decent dictators in the last year or so.
How come whenever someone types a lot of
lines in a day it is considered cherrypicking? I just finished my shift for the day and had 3897 lines. Did I cherrypick? No! I can't see what work I'm getting until it shows up on my screen. I worked a total of 11 hours with my 3 breaks figured in. Yes, I did work 2 hours OT but they asked for OT so I sat and worked. I can work steadily for 3-4 hours and then get up and stretch. I had no normals except the ones that I put in myself for the doctors. I've been doing the same accounts for about 8 years and have tons of "normals" for a lot of the doctors. Once in a while they will change their wording to throw you off course. The only doctors that slow me down nowadays are the new residents who must talk for no less than 30 minutes for each patient. Out of the 132 charts I transcribed, I had about 65% ESLs. Just because some people type a lot of lines in a day does not mean that they are a cherrypicker.
That's one of the things I hate about some nationals. You should NOT be allowed to see the other line counts of your fellow workers because all these accusations happens. If you see someone with a constantly high line count, you automatically assume they are getting all the "good" doctors when it is not the case with a lot of people. It may be true in some cases but you're lumping everyone with a high line count into one group.
There are these types in QA and in MT, too.
NM
so who types it? they only way around that would be to outsource
and that seems ridiculous.
Report types.
Easiest-family practice. Hardest-OB/GYN.
skin types
It does depend on the skin type and the type of laser machine they used. Many of them do not do darker skin. They all do tend to work better on lighter skins. I have dark hair due to a hormone imbalance my whole life since childhood. Dark hair on my arms, etc. Some laser brands of machine are better than others. Let me know if you decide you want information on the one I work for or I can give you the name of the top selling laser brand out there that I would recommend from what I know.
you can ask these types of questions
such as laborlawtalk.com
There are different types of USB pedals
There is Olympus, VEC, Infinity, many, many. Look at the bottom of your pedal to get the code. If it is an Infinity, you will see something like IN-USB1, or IN9B (for 9 pin) or IN-DVIUSB. All the Infinity foot pedals work with ExpressScribe EXCEPT the DVI because it is a higher technology than is compatable with ES. Run the foot control wizard on ExpressScribe to help it locate the foot pedal and recognize it so you can use it. You may have to try all the COM ports on the wizard before you hit the right COM port and the foot pedal is recognized. My Infinity foot pedal USB1 is recognized in ES as the _VEC_ if that helps you.
I have had to do the hand control thing and it is very frustrating and can make the test take 4 times longer than with a foot pedal.
There is a whole list of these types
of things I got through my MT training classes. To make the ' over the e in debride, you would do Alt + 233 on your number pad. Let me know if it works. good luck.
Others have other types of jobs?
 Hi everyone,
Do any of you have other types of jobs besides MT, QA, Editing, etc. like me?? I just started another type of job for evenings to help out financially, and I like doing so. I still do my main MT thing, but the other one is actually fun for me, and not just slaving away all day at a computer!!
Work types
Has anyone ever quit a position because you get work types you were assured you would not have to do? I absolutely despise discharge summaries and was told upon hire that I would not have to do them, there were plenty of other reports I could do, now I get big chunks of DS throughout the day, I never have liked them, I lose about 75-100 lines/hour doing them. Does anyone else have this problem? I am not a newbie, I just do not like discharges and get a real mental block, I think mainly because I get so tired of sitting while the dictator is trying to figure out what to say.
Work types
Yes, they all have to get done but I used to work for a company that you were given a certain work type all day long, and it either rotated or if there was one person who liked ds or op, they were routed to them - the work got done, the MT had more production, thus the company benefitted also, why take an MT who can do 300+ lines on everything but DS and put them on DS when you have people who do 150 on everything, including DS
work types
Most won't allow that.. Especially the ones that pay well. The one I work for requires you to be skilled in all ares, even radiology.. It is a great job.. Have them for 20 years and 10 years in the MT department working from home. Hospitals are the way to go.
