You are a piece of work.
Just not a worker.
LOL I did all of the above as well, but she is still a piece of work! sm
Actually, she was not rude to me much until one day I was talking to her on the phone about a concern with one of my accounts, and she had me on speaker phone and proceeded to YELL at me out of nowhere. It was very odd. They begged me not to quit, but I couldn't stand all of the weirdness. The platform seemed archaic to me, but they have changed that, right? The IT is an odd bird, isn't he? We got a kick out of him. No one wanted to have to ask him anything! :-)
I do not work for MQ, but another piece of -- company. SM
The platform has its own line counter. When I went to see how many lines I did the other day, I had a huge number of lines. I almost fell off the chair. I made sure the total was for that day alone and there were lines of 1500, after four hours of work.
I did this twice and came up with same total. Third time, however, I got the correct total, which was exactly half that amount. I found this strange. That's all. Strange.
I agree....some piece of work....sm
The children today (NOT Generation X as they were products of the 1980s)......have enough to be frightened over in this world that has changed dramatically....we, as parents, don't have to make them more scared and more scared. Parenting is an art - there are lots of free classes in early childhood development or PET (parent effectiveness training) which I took when my child was 4. It was also taught by a psychologist with a degree. There are sooooo many good positive ways to raise children where one doesn't have to *resort* to *submission* and still get super positive results.
There are also obedience schools for learning how to raise animals.....the poster should check into these things.....
Pedophiles always use *scared into submission* when they are about to steal a child and do nasty things.....TO THE POSTER WHO BELIEVES IN *SCARED INTO SUBMISSION* - you keep on doing this to your children, and maybe some perpetrator will also play on that reaction your children now have from being *scared into submission*....HEAVEN FORBID! But when you make a child scared into submission, they then tend to be scared into submission by any ADULT.
Check yourself on this one......
You are a piece of work. To talk about God &

He sounds like a piece of work - sm
I'd tell the wife, sure go ahead find someone else who will put up with all this garbage. I would give them a new updated fee schedule, effective immediately, up your page rate, a flat fee per page, none of this half/third stuff, and start charging for your time for the loading and converting of files. If it takes an hour, charge $20. That is something his people there should be doing, not you. As for the corrections, again his people should be doing that, not you. As you said, everyone makes mistakes. Regarding the doctors names, keep a notebook or something with the correct spellings that you can refer to. I use a small address/phone book and put them in under A, B, C, etc. So when my doctors say referring doc, I just whip open my book and saves me a lot of time from looking it up on the internet. If I cannot find a doctor name/address I simply let the office know that they have to fill that in since I could not find it. ---But this guy sounds like a real skinflint, so I would up the rates as above, if they don't like it then I guess they can just go and find out the hard way that they had quite a deal with you.
Soft Script is a real piece of work
I don't know if any of you out there work for SS but I think it is a bunch of bull that they can make the decision that they will not pay if someone makes a mistake. EXCUSE ME I thought we were all human but obviously they in management think their **** don't stink. I am definitely looking because I do not believe my paycheck is right however their is no way of checking as they have it posted nowhere. THEY SUCK!

I will challenge the law. I am paid by piece work and that is excluded.
sheesh
Unbelievable. SM
I thought our jobs were to transcribe and keep it confidential. Now we are supposed to be PI's, law enforcement liasons?
That is unbelievable.
I don't know why that surprises me after everything that is going on. I am in the same boat with you, as are a large number of other people. It is frustrating, but as a MT, you have no proof other than your pay check took a nose dive over night, and that is not enough to prove anything. This is really sad.
unbelievable
not for MQ is that kind of remark unbelievable!!
Unbelievable!
You people are really unbelievable.....it's not bad enough that you bash the company, but now you're bashing one of your own! What a sorry bunch you all are.....Believe it or not, I really don't care....it's what I do, I just thought I would share it with you to let you know that it CAN BE DONE or maybe I'm just the exception....but at the very least, give kudos where it's due! Again, no normals or expanders....just hard work for a single mom putting in a true 8 hour day, working every minute of the 8 hours and deserving every cent I make....the 2800+ was closer to 2900 and I did it in 9 hours....but normally I do 2600 in 8. This is the last post I'm putting on this board ....you people are bitter and wicked! Save your nasty comments to yourselves!
It is truly unbelievable...
I can honestly say that none of the devastating news in the world has had an effect in my daily living: The war in Iraq, the tsunami, the hurricanes, the forrest fires, earthquakes, mudslides, etc. Though all of these devastating events have happened all around me, my daily living has not changed. One of the dinner prayers I taught my boys really expresses how I feel about my privilege and protection by God, "Help us to be thankful to Thee and mindful of others as we receive these blessings." Not just dinner, but daily living.
unbelievable
An audio hour is 60 minutes of dictation. Minimum wage...maybe.....assuming they have any "audio hours" to send you. Even if they provided a steady work flow, which according to the ad isn't likely to happen, how many MTs can transcribe 60 minutes of dictation in one hour?
unbelievable
Frankly, most of you have to open your eyes and look past your predjudiced ways to realize that what lies at the core of this movie is a love story plain and simple. I have seen the movie. The sex is simple and not gratuitous, the acting is remarkable and the story behind it all is quite moving to say the least. There is no 'gay agenda' being shoved down people's throats - if you don't want to see it then don't buy a ticket. But for those of you who are progressive and open-minded enough to see the film, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
Unbelievable!
Unbelievable!
Unbelievable....maybe you can't but some of us can.....nm

unbelievable
In Shanghai because of a rabies scare, 50,000 dogs have been clubbed to death. This is so upsetting to me because I love animals. They even offered dog owners 63 cents to kill their own dogs before they sent out the teams to kill them !! They actually "seized dogs from their owners and beat them to death on the spot." What a bunch of barbarians. Wow. Glad I live in the U.S.
unbelievable
If it really is just one person posting all these venemous hate-filled comments, she should seriously consider getting some help. To get so worked up over what people eat or how they describe their homes demonstrates how empty her own life must be.
Unbelievable
((
Unbelievable!!
// the third QA post got moved to the Medquist company board for some reason and the post says "MT's" oh no!!
Wow, unbelievable!! What's going on???? n/m

Unbelievable!

unbelievable
Who are you kidding? As MTs we are responsible for the "quality" of reports now.
VR transcriptionists are QA editors with pennies for pay, and it isn't likely to change. The best thing to do is WALK AWAY.
Leave them holding the bag.
It is unbelievable that someone would
state this misgiving to you, I guess so you will go with VR or just what is their purpose? I love it myself but you cannot get that many lines an hour, just not humanly possible and anyone else who does VR will tell you the same. I hate they are misleading others like this.
not unbelievable
I often do 300 lines an hour with familiar doctors and lots of shortcuts. I believe she is doing 300 lines per hour on a clinic account.
unbelievable... 6.5 to 8 cpl for EXPERIENCED ONLY
that was an ad in the job seeker's board. UN-freakin' believable.
It's certainly UNBELIEVABLE that they'd do this the city, but
I guess I don't know enough to understand why? What could the government of NY had done to prevent this? What were the grievances? I really think we need to blame the right people here, so hopefully someone will be able to share more info on why this happened.
then that vet would no longer be my VET!! unbelievable. NM

Rose, get this again.. unbelievable but
I was told by the company I work for that I was not supposed to refer to them, they do their own choosing. Well, ok, I only tried to get in contact regarding this 1 time and needless to say, would you try again? I think not. I do love VR and work part-time now and make enough in those days to pay my bills, etc. Good luck with whatever you do!
unbelievable.. or unbeleivable
I can never remember the i before e rule. 
UNBELIEVABLE on so many different levels.

I just got the most unbelievable deal
on ebay. I was looking for a standard cassette transcriber with foot pedal and power supply and had no luck except for very expensive ones. I tell you, having patience sure paid off. I've looked everyday, several times a day for the past week and sure enough, there was a buy it now transcriber just posted several hours ago for....get this, $15.99 plus shipping! WOW. The seller has good feedback selling other transcription supplies and apparently had 5 machines she was trying to unload, all used, and they've all gone (except for one that is on auction). Anyhow, I'm just so pleased, I had to share. 
Just looking for a piece of the pie.

try the ear piece...
I have never had that problem...but there are a number of different ear pieces that would probably work just as well. I am referring to the ear buds or the ear pieces that you put on/in your ear. When I use to work at a local hospital we would have the ear pieces that you put in your ears like ear plugs...I of course hated those though but they are there....just food for thought.
that piece a little further down
about belarc..reads like some kind of magazine article. It's not what she's saying, it's how she's saying it. It's kind of preachy. There are plenty of people on this board who know more than I do about all kinds of things, but they don't have the attitude.
& I don't think it's great advice to discount something on someone else's behalf without knowing everything about her situation. Who knows? It might work for OP.
Unbelievable! And to think at MQ we are bellyaching at receiving...sm
only 80% of our regular line rate for editing. It sounds like clinic notes, dr's office notes, maybe just a few docs, nothing complicated, lots of canned text etc. Still 2 cents a line, I don't think you could speed up the sound enough to make any money at that rate unless there were no mistakes whatsoever.
Unbelievable. Just wait till she gets to
be an old timer.
I plan on doing this till I am in a wheelchair on a Roho Cushion, Foley Catheter, IV fluids and therapy massaging me.
SS won't do it.
So wait till I send in my resume claiming 50 years experience.
At first I thought this was a joke. This is unbelievable. No wonder my son SM
had so much trouble finding a job. The last time I went to Target a clerk couldnt help me because she could not speak English and had to get another clerk. Wow...
OMH - This is unbelievable!!! What is happening to our country! nm

Piece of my Heart
When I'm stressed I get to let it all out with that song. lol
I did look at your piece of research
and I am not seeing it. I don't think that all MTs will be out of work. There will be demand for editors, etc. I will stay in the field until I am told they don't need me anymore.
piece of cake?
Decided to try transcription after I tired of nursing (management). Thought it would be a snap. Suffice it to say that a good MT has a broader knowledge base than a registered nurse.
Piece of Cake....
I made the transition from doing multispecialty clinic and acute care transcription to Radiology about five years ago, and it was one of the easiest transitions I've ever made. Just have a couple of good radiology reference books and I don't think you'll have any problem at all. The cpl sounds very good, too.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me. I attempted to email you a couple of good reference materials, but the email came back as undeliverable.
Good luck 
Forgot to Add - QA also gets a piece of the pie now. nm

Well that's a nice piece of news then!!! THANK YOU
..
Did you give him a piece of your mind yet?
Seriously - and check into the whole legality of it all too!
I had one too!! a 1979 piece of junk.
And if that wasn't bad enough it was chocolate brown.
My blinker knob fell off and I had to shove a pair of tweezers in there to work the blinkers. I couldn't wear heels or they'd get wedged in the holes in the floor board and one tire had a big bubble in it.
I can't believe I even dared drive that thing.
Was a piece of junk..but my favorite.
It was a 1980 Chevette (or as we called it..the Shove It) lol. When I got it, it was already falling apart, but I didn't care, I was 17 and had wheels. It had NO power steering, NO power brakes, NO air, NO power at all. The seat was falling through the bottom, so when you drove, your body was tilted to the left. The horn didn't BEEP, it MOOed (not kidding). The speakers were blown so my brother wired a speaker through the front and sat it in the console...lol. Like I said it was piece of junk but was a lot of fun to drive around and I could fill it up with about $8.00. A few years later when I was working I bought a Geo Storm and I loved that car. It was actually a very nice car..but nothing tops the "Shove It."
Transcriber is a piece of equipment.
