OK, I'll post specifics, even if they see it. I don't care any more.
Low work volume so shuffled from account to account with different specs in a short period of time. I used to complain about one former job putting me on three accounts in less than three weeks. Try three accounts in one week. Time-consuming setup of patient demographic information. Zero QA feedback, nothing, nada, zilcho. I don't know if I'm doing anything right or not. Ranting emails sent to everyone about "we're going to lose the account" unless you do this or that.
Because my post was deleted in reference to the above post, sm
Ladies-once again, I apologize for coming across as a witch in the above post. I appreciate the links and the time spent on posting them.

I did post a site, but it was deleted???
I don't get it.
If you have mentioned within the Post
that it's in-office position, no worries. Board is for every sort of Jobs. I have seen many on-site and hospital jobs on this board before.
My original post has been deleted, read this...
How can you give positive, sound advice to someone who may not live in the same area as you. Every state is different. As far as being afraid for our jobs, yeah, there should be a certain amount of fear, because as an IC you could wake up one morning and your job be gone. Same as employee, I understand, but there does not have to be a reason to let you go as an IC. I am a VERY professional MT who takes my job seriously and I do have a bit of fear at times, I have kids to raise. You cannot tell her that she is not savvy on her own company, she was only asking some questions. I thought that is what this board was for, to ask questions. How could you find anything someone asks amusing or disgusting....maybe you should search into the term "professional" and maybe you are not so savvy in your own company. :)
100K was mentioned in post below
by "Pollster".
Her post was deleted and was talking about audio transcription something or other.

Your post gave me a mental picture...
When did we all become so deserving? I'm picturing the people moving west in covered wagons. It didn't even occur to them that the govt should provide them with jack diddly squat. If a storm blew up, it blew up. It wasn't anybody fault. They weren't blaming the farmers for their cattle ruining the ozone with their farts. They just accepted what was. We've gone WAY soft anymore. We can't survive without ice? Sheesh, those people lived their entire lives without seeing an ice cube, unless of course it was winter and they needed ice like a parka in Bermuda.
All you mentioned in original post was about the money. Explain the rest of the scam. The check

You can't post the names of companies. The powers that
be always delete them. I know I had to answer some questions concerning a Pell grant I got at a local technical school once. I don't think this is so far fetched.
Please do not post names or phone numbers. (NM)
Goldbird
you can post company names on the board.
nm
She didn't put any names or even employment locations with her post --
she simply listed errors she sees. I would keep a list as well; could be very useful in training new MTs or orienting even experienced MTs about what they have had in the past, how easy it is for one to just "type what they hear" and not pay attention, etc.
She didn't do anything wrong.
I would sue and post their names on every single board on the Internet.

Disney thread still on this page down under the ugly names post. nm

for what god gave her in beauty, the devil gave her in insanity.
she is one scary chick to be raising kids.
I just gave notice at my job and all I gave them was when my last day would be. SM
I don't think they even cared why I was quitting. I called the supervisor to tell her in person and she simple said "I need it in writing and when will your last day be". Personally, I like things quick and painless.
When people use last names for first names.
You can't tell what sex the person is, and it just sounds so pretentious and stupid.
Hunter, Tyler, Taylor, Cameron, Morgan, Parker, Porter.
Really soap-operaish and annoying.
ask her specifics; she needs to tell you
if she asked you when you were getting DSL, it indicates she wants you to produce more lines, sounds like. Many of us employees of transcription companies pay our own DSL. Check with inhouse MTs. Maybe they are producing more.
Specifics
Sorry - I forgot to mention I have the PostureFit Aeron chair by Herman Miller. I checked out E-bay and took a couple of months to bid on a few until I could get one for the lowest price possible - which at the time was about $500. I know it's pricey, and at first I was disappointed because I thought I paid too much (I have to admit I'm cheap), but now I believe it was worth it. I'm just glad I didn't get rid of it right away without using it for a while! Hope you find one that works for you!
Any specifics on how to do that?
Any way to re-learn to listen ahead? It all comes so automatic (the way I do it now). Also, it seems like I would have to slow the recording down too.
Specifics, please....
Do you use a lot of self-made normals? I've been lucky this week and have gotten a lot of ops. I managed to post 221 LPH my last shift worked, but I also got the you-know-what scared out of me awhile back (vicariously) when my CCM called a conference call to explain that using cut-and-paste Expanders from specific dictators previously dictated reports was not allowed, so I've never done that. In fact, the thought hadn't occurred to me to try that until the conference call, LOL! (Amazing what ideas you get from somebody ELSE getting in trouble....)
Anyway, I'm pretty fast at ops, and consider them my favorite work-type, but even on a complete night of them on a primary account, 221 LPH was the result.
Suggestions?
specifics have not been announced yet.

You need to give more specifics for any really
helpful answers. Are you an IC? Is it a private client and some unknown person is changing your reports? Do you work inhouse and have some other processing of your reports? Do you work for a national, and think QA is altering your reports? I know lots of MTs accuse QA of removing sentences, etc., when, in reality, the MTs never heard what they thought they heard to start with! One error in mid sentence and then 3 sentences incorrect! QA often has to go in and retype sections, while the MT accuses QA of being lazy or some other such charge. Can't really think of why someone would want to change your reports - are you thinking you are being set up or something? Please provide more details if you need more help! 
Don't know specifics about account.
The setup and all that is exactly what I am clueless about. I know nothing about what type of service physician would want yet, but he mentioned to my husband that he might be interested in getting me to do work for him or may try to get me on at hospital he primarily works in. He asked my husband what I charged and my husband told him he wasn't sure. The physician automatically said "15 to 20 cents a line". That is more than I am making now and is very tempting.
How come you provide no specifics?
Too busy to spend a few minutes typing information that would benefit other people, when obviously you benefit from this bulletin board by reading it and even responding? This website is criticized by people for being overly negative and when people make such harsh comments without having anything to base it on, it makes the poster look suspicious. If you have any facts (or even impressions) to support your claim, please give them. If you don't, why make such strong statements?
Our account specifics say
We have recently been told to type the patient's name if doctor dictates it in the report. I also thought that was against HIPPA.
Want specifics from posters
Let me clarify: I wanted to hear specifics from the experiences of those MTSOs that participate posting on this site.
I would do what you think looks the best if you're not given any specifics.
They will certainly tell you to make a change if they don't like it. In this case, no news is good news.

Are there no "account specifics" in QA?-
First let me say this is not my being "sensitive" to having mistakes pointed out, if I make a mistake I want to know so I do not make it again. BUT, it is absolutely so frustrating when the QA people are not consistent with each other and make corrections on their personal preferences. For example, one tells you you made a mistake by formating this way, you change it, someone else QAs it and they say its wrong and to do it another way! You question this and are told to follow the account specifics, which is what you did to start with! I am truly curious to know if the QA people are brought together and given the same account specifics the MTs are. Honestly, from what I am seeing it is a "to each his/her own" and they are free to make whatever corrections they deem necessary and are given the freedom to change things we were told not to, then we get ganked for it! It also varies greatly between the day shift QAs and the night shift QAs. I have come across a few wonderful QAs in my time who were great and from who you could learn a lot. Unfortunately, there have only been a few.
If you are not given specifics for your test...sm
just type it as you learned it in school!
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:
is right as you typed it, it is usually capitalized and always followed by a colon :
And it is
p.r.n.
The newest form is to type 'at bedtime', as h.s. is a dangerous abbreviation.
True. Specifics, especially "different" ones
I have an account whose specifics break just about every style rule known to MT. Had they waited to break all this to me in hard copy after transcribing it the "right" way, I would be seriously confused.
I could see if she posted account specifics, etc., BUT
I definitely don't see the big deal about saying what hospital you will type on. Some people are way too sensitive and look for something to complain about, but that's just my personal opinion.
thanks for the tip, but as stated, our specifics say double. nm

When account specifics does not cover
I usually refer to BOS and it states to add the year if not stated - if you are sure of the year. Also - interestingly enough - it says if you are doing long dictation and doc says labs done on April 4, 2006 are.........and then says additonal labs 4/5.... okay to used slashed date - this is on page 121 of BOS edition 2 if you are interested. That being said don't think you would be WRONG to leave off the year if it is verbatim account :))
do you follow an Account Specifics?
nm
I would read the specifics on that account and do it that way. sm
Sometimes QA gets things backwards, doesn't understand the rules, etc. Make sure you're doing it the way the account wants and ignore incorrect feedback.
If your account specifics don't address it, get a definitive answer from the account manager.
Once you get that definitive answer, it might be wise to have the account manager inform QA of the correct format.
It also depends on your account specifics too...
if it is verbatim, you type what they say...
I think that would just be preferential or maybe account specifics for the doc. sm
I think you are asking whether the "before" or "after" makes a difference. Not that I know of at all, I think it is all preferential in the way they are dictating unless his clinic/hospital requests it that way. The code is the code and is used for billing, makes no difference where in the diagnoses it is other than in order like primary diagnosis, secondary diagnosis, etc. Makes is so much easier on the coders when they give codes rather than second guessing them as some can be very confusing.
whatever the account specifics are, is how you to have type it...
regardless of whether or not you agree with it...just how some companies/accounts are...
and it is our responsibility to know the account specifics...
nm
Your account specifics or the client should tell you which they prefer....
otherwise, I would use 2 spaces as that is the way it is normally done. I believe the AAMT recently has stated that only 1 space should be used, but I don't put a lot of stock in their rules. I go by what my client wants and account specifics.
