Clinton is intelligent??? If he was intelligent he wouldn't have gotten caught!
eeeeeeeeew
I think this just proves
that every company isn't right for everyone. This is the reason I said I don't make referrals with or without a referral bonus. Obviously some are happy with MQ and that is great. For those who aren't, there are other options. I feel for those who run out of work. After so many times reading the same complaints crying about no money and refusing to help themselves, the only advice I have is "sympathy" is between s*it and syphilis in Websters.
If this is the case, this proves that..
the people in the MTSO can decide which MT gets which report, isn't it?
And that it is not by random or according to ' the oldest first, etc...'
So, the 'friends' get the best dictations in their queues and the newbies and those who are not so 'popular' get the crap.
Isn't it like that?
They just do not want to admit it.
OMG - this proves my point
about this business. I can't believe you're asking such a ridiculous question. Would you be that concerned if your didn't do transcription and worked a normal 8 to 5 Monday through Friday job? NO!. What a stupid thing to say. Good example of why this buisness is going to the red dots.
Only proves one thing
Per the above posts in this thread, those folks who wrote the BOS are not the experts they claim to be. I often wondered whether the rules proclaimed in the BOS were just the result of the personal preferences of the writers of the BOS. It appears that they didn't do much research into details.
I hope your trust proves to be well placed.
And I'm glad to know you have looked into their background so that you can feel more comfortable with your decision to be charitable. Keeping you in my prayers. I wish you were my neighbor. For one thing, I like Shelties. For another, you seem like a person I would be proud to call a friend (and you'd set a very good example for my family--me included!).
The above post proves my point. _sm_
NEWS FLASH: MT is a NEVER-ENDING, continual process of learning. I've been at this biz for 35 years (and took all my tests honestly, and my resume is 100% accurate, thank you very much), and I still continue to learn each and every day that I transcribe. 99% of that learning is done by my own research.
But sometimes a person's ears can deceive them, or a new doctor that is hard to understand can come along that we can't transcribe completely. Usually QA has dealt with these guys before, and are familiar with the terms that stump me. (You can't look something up if you can't even tell for sure what the word SOUNDS like.)
Yes, QA is for quality-assurance. But the only way to IMPROVE quality is to help the MTs with their ongoing learning process.
What's REALLY frustrating is when you people first tell us one thing, and then a few days later, you tell us something entirely different. You contradict yourselves to the point of being the "joke" you talk about. Too bad your manager can't get all of you on the same page at least SOME of the time!
Anyway, your post sounds exactly like the snippy little emails I get whenever I ask QA an honest question, or send something to them that I have a gut feeling is wrong, but have no samples available to double-check.
Yes, it does only take one rotten apple to spoil the whole barrel, and QA-people with your attitude should be shoved down the garbage-grinder.
:p
I hope this proves to all MTSOs who say they are forced to lower their rates that if MQ can get 20,
All they need to do is stick to their guns. Our rates should not be falling. MQ does not even have the good quality that half of these other services do.
If you can't think of anything intelligent to say
Please don't say anything at all.
Very well said, Intelligent MT
That kind of post didn't do a thing for the original poster except to reinforce what she was feeling at that time. She might be one of the Intelligent MTs who made one STUPID mistake and received a ranting email from her editor. Add that to a bad day in general and that just might be the final straw. I noticed that she didn't rant and rave about THE editor or editors in GENERAL. I think she was just blowing off steam, I didn't hear any whining. I know the GOOD editors work hard for their GOOD MTs and even cover their backside on occasion. Then there are those editors who think they are much smarter than any MT and they want to let the MTs know they are the "boss." I don't think that kind last very long, the Intelligent MTs will get 'em every time.
Cute but not really intelligent
anyway, I have to work 2nd and 3rd shift because all the MTs are busy crying and complaining on this forum instead of doing the work they are supposed to do. Oh boo hoo, I have work oh boo hoo I ACTUALLY have to sit and type. They expect me to actually WORK for the money they give me. BOOO HOOOOOOOOOO. By the way, at least I HAVE a personality.
That was intelligent AND helpful. Duh!

That is very intelligent. Makes...
PERFECT sense!
I was asking for intelligent answers....
as to what others do and are expected to do. I am not expected to work, in fact am the age if I wanted to could retire instead of having to scrape and beg for what most of the companies are paying now days. Like I said in the beginning, I have absolutely no problem. I am way past the time of having to worry about where the next check is coming from....Working now because I want to, not because I have to. Thanks and Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you.
You got intelligent answer as to what other ICs do.

I think average MT is intelligent
And we are not now being paid for what we have in our little heads, along with the common sense decisions we have to make on a daily basis.
On the other hand, I am so ANNOYED with these people in so called Govt positions, insurance positions, etc. that we have to deal with, no matter where or what situation in my life, I feel they are being paid more than myself and are really not intelligent. I have to constantly correct, especially situations after I have gone to a doctor and my insurance company or billing screws up, and we know how long that takes getting tied up in the voice recognition of the insurance companies, etc.
Anyhow today, called a Govt office that asked for donations over the holiday of unused cell phones to send in to recieve $5 a piece for recycling. Once she finally answered her phone at 9:22 a.m., yes they are still collecting. I was asking exactly where she was located. She told me. Then I asked on the north or south side of street, and she said it depends on which way you are coming from. NOT, I said, excuse me, but north and south do not change. She was dumbfounded. Just a moment of silence, and changed her answer to right or left. In her position in this company if can bet she is probably being paid somewhere bettween 40K and 50K. Go figure. This is just one example of many unintelligent people making more than myself and that burns my big butt.
I swear for some jobs you have to take a stupid test and pass to be hired.
Not looking forward to job hunting. 
This intelligent MT sees you for what you are, a jerk.
Wow, what an attitude you have. I wonder what you were like as an MT? Mean? Sniping? Backstabbing? Intelligent MTs do appreciate their QA people. Intelligent QA people don't go off like bottle rockets in public like you have. You need the attitude adjustment, not the MT.
Couldn't think of anything intelligent to say, so you edit?
What a dimwit!
Not only is he gorgeous, but eccentric, intelligent, and seems non "Hollywood"
Okay, I need a really astounding, intelligent remark for a quick
nm
Yes, and Elisabeth was incapable of an intelligent response. sm
All she could muster was a flustered "don't honey me!" Brilliant, that Elisabeth.
Oh, that explains your open-minded, intelligent demeanor
Maybe this is a better site for you
trailertips.com
You were just snotty, rude, and added nothing intelligent to the thread.

for 'Seeking intelligent life': Are you frustrated and unsatisfied?
Looking in vain for intelligence in your brain?
I think most MTx are highly
their jobs. I really believe to be a good MT, you have to be very smart. We don't get the recognition we deserve!.
Honestly that is the most intelligent thing I've heard from an MT co. in a long time. Completely
You have to be able to retain knowledge.
You have to know how to reserach effectively.
You have to be able to use deductive reasoning.
You have to have confidence in your decisions and not constantly "need assurance."
You have to be able to separate sounds in your head that are both internal and from multiple external forces.
Some of these can be taught, some are innate, some take years to develop, some either you got it or you don't.
I would highly doubt that considering
you had been "riding" your horse all day. That stench will carry for awhile!
Highly recommend M-TEC!!
I had job offers right out of school with a number of companies. Their training was right on. The support you get from them is terrific. I have also personally met both Kathy and Susan who, in addition to being great instructors, are also very nice ladies! Go for it and be prepared to work hard! :-)
I highly recommend
you quit leaching and GET YOUR OWN ACCOUNTS, this way you'll get what you feel you're worth, okay? I know you expect this and expect that, and there are posters here who think what you're asking for is totally within line and shame on ANY MTSOs who won't accommodate YOU! To that end I say, E-MAIL THEM and fill out a job application, and have THEM pay you the executive wages you expect. Yeah, like they're really going to. Gheesh! And don't worry, I wouldn't hire you on a bet. I'm looking to and intend to make money, not lose it on a SC who's got delusions of grandeur!
I highly recommend WW
I do WW on line and love it. However, some people really need the meeting support to stay on track. I lost all my weight on line, about 40 pounds, with the last 10 by joining local meetings for three months just so I could achieve "Lifetime Status", which I did. You never have to pay for any meetings after reaching your goal/Lifetime unless you go over your goal by 2# and you must weigh-in at least once a month. By achieving lifetime, you get a discount for your on-line subscription/E-tools. E-tools and the support of the forums keeps me on track and accountable so far. I have maintained for a couple months now after achieving my goal.
I don't see it as a "diet" either. It a change of lifestyle. I eat differently and do not plan to go back to my unhealthy eating style. You can eat anything you want too as long as you plan for it and/or account for it in your weekly points. Believe me, I feel if you have the desire and stick to the program, WW can work! :) My cholesterol levels are all WNL for the first time in many, many years too. :D
Best wishes.
You think? Highly doubt it.
These people are getting promoted. LOL
I, of course, was being highly sarcastic.
Wow. No sense of humor? Seems this place can do that to some.
Cheers, luv, cheers.
For you happy highly productive MQ MTs
 Help those of us who are struggling by giving us some pointers on what you are doing to be so successful and happy. I am very discouraged. I do not want to have to start over with a new company. I have 15 years experience, 8 of those with MQ. Since DQS, I cannot get quota. Never had a problem before, so I am not understanding.
Please give me any suggestions that might increase my productivity. And before all the comments of "stay off the board" begin - I am not working today. I do have some self discipline.
Feel flattered they think highly of you. That is the
a
I highly doubt that is the reason.
I mean, how many people truly observe that holiday and think I need to get all the work done that I can now because it is Veteran's day in 2 days. It's not like there is a Veteran's day meal like Thanksgiving or presents like Thanksgiving.
Of course she didn't. I highly doubt
Some people just can't stand for this board to be quiet, so they either post a dumb POLL question or some other nonsense. Now they've resorted to posting outright lies. This is totally absurd. I guess the next post will be that they are letting inmates process checks for banks at night...or work at day care centers. Sheesh! The people on this board never cease to amaze me.
I understand what you are saying, but this is a highly skilled sm
field, not "washing dishes" or even "working at Wallyworld." Yes, there is VR and other things out there making this our jobs easier and in very rare cases, null and void, but this industry STILL requires skilled MTs who will pick up what VR and computers just cannot do.
I do VR on a regular basis and there are so many gross errors it isn't even funny. I would say 50% of any given document contains error that would be a detriment to direct patient care.
I received a newsletter recently from my company that stated this industry is growing and that the industry is having a very difficult time finding experienced, good MTs to do all of the work given to any given company. That, to me, was very, very positive in the way of where our jobs will be in 10 years.
I don't see in 10 years VR or foreigners taking our jobs. In 30 to 50, maybe, but not anytime soon.
So, a company offering 7 cpl to an experienced MT is a disgrace (especially if they take it). On new grads, I think 4 cpl is just fine because I also taught MT at a local college and there was no way that any of my students (graduates) could do this from home without a mentor/QA, etc., full-time for at least a year until they could be on their own. They would make way too many mistakes.
It's a sad day when a highly educated doctor can't
I'm talking epistaxis here, ok...not that hard of a word. She won't even put forth the effort to pronounce words correctly, especially medications, which in my opinion is downright dangerous. I wouldn't want her for my doctor...way to dangerous of a dictator. BTW, I never, ever guess on a medication, even if I am confident about what she MEANS to say...so always end up sending hers to proofing...okay, I'll get off my  now...good day all!!!
I use IT. I highly recommend you have it installed.
date element in Meditech is F6, I think. Press F keys all the way. Then, try alt and the F keys all the way down and then control and F keys to see what their functions are. You can jot them down on paper and make it into a toolbar by taping it to the keyboard. Now that I think of it, if you have a Help Desk, they may have a copy of the F key functions to send you.
And also, you will need a speed typing engine which will be well worth the money.
25+ years ago, I'd have recommended it highly - sm
-- as it was recommended to me. It was an excellent fit for about 10-12 years, but then when managed healthcare came on scene, it not only ruined medical care as we once knew it, but also our livelihoods. Wish I'd followed my OTHER friend's advice, and become a court reporter. She's still working, still not outsourced to India, and she makes good money -- working about 3-4 days a week. Put her kids through college, etc.
Woulda', coulda', SHOULDA!
:(
I highly doubt it. Not these days.

Caffeine is also highly addictive
I love the stuff!!!! Caffeine doesn't necessarily make you feel better, though, it just makes you feel less bad. That's something I read somewhere that always struck a chord with me. I'm not fit to speak to until I've had at least a hit of caffeine in the morning and don't even start on the headaches I'll get if for some reason I go a day or two without it.
Do you take vitamins on a regular basis? Despite the so called research that says that vitamins don't really do that much, I have found that if I go for several days without taking my supplements then I get really draggy and have a horrible time focusing. If I remember to take them, then I do pretty well and have a much easier time focusing and getting work done.
Unlike right now when I should get started working and am playing on this board. 
almost forgot...........I highly doubt sm
Who told you anyone is scared to come up against me? I am no one to "come up" against! I don't put myself up on that pedestal. Seems to me you are the one doing that.
You need to LIGHTEN UP LIZZIE! Say something intelligent about the profession will ya?
I would highly recommend that if you are interested in this program sm
that you do attend some weight watcher meetings to get the program basics, etc. There is something about getting weighed in once a week that makes you accountable and keeps you on track. (almost typed tract there, LOL can you tell I am a transcriptionist?) Just a heads up though, you will probably be in the MINORITY at weight watchers as most other people choose POINTS. If you read the messages from Kippy's web site, you'll understand better. Good Luck. I can't RAVE enough about this program.
PS do a search on Kippy's for the zucchini potato pancakes (serve with salsa and/or ff sour cream. DELICIOUS. my favorite recipe.
Highly doubt it--call your postmaster and ask, then you will know - sm
Also I cannot see prison spending the money to transport prisoners to the PO so they can sort mail, it is all done at the location of the post office; of course there are main hubs and all that that sort it to go to whichever local PO, but again I find it very hard to believe that they take the time, effort and expense to do this, it would be asking for major trouble.
Must be a highly technical medical word as

Secrets of Highly Successful MTs? Please share!
I'd really be interested to learn if there are any tips you 40k&up folks could share with those of us who are... more financially challenged. What is your schedule like? Do you log off every time you get up to get a cup of coffee, etc? Obviously you don't spend your work days on message boards; do you have any tips for how to Stay Focused?
Sorry if I sound ignorant; I have been doing this for many many years and still struggle with the same self-discipline issues I had way back when. I'd love to hear from those who have actually made good money at this how they did it. Thanks!
SoftFlex gloves come highly recommended
And a lumbar support too!!
I highly recommend Canon fax as well as printer.
"Skedaddle." A highly technical term.
" ... but when she feels the urge, she really needs to skedaddle."
I haven't heard that word in YEARS--and that's probably the first time in 37 years I've gotten it in medical dictation!
javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
I highly recommend ShortHand. Affordable and efficient. nm
