You're ridiculous. He's an adult and she can't do that.

She can talk to him, keep the lines of communication open with him, pray for him, but she has to decide what consequences she is willing to accept by where she draws her line of acceptance.
You cannot make decisions for grown children.
What a hateful parent to even try. Counsel them with a tender heart-to-heart but try to force them into living like yourself? HATEFUL.

You're not under a rock, you're just like me... an adult with more to
s
Yes. Three months paid training? That's just ridiculous unless you're working
in the office. What service can afford to pay an MT for three months of training?
I'd rather act like an adult than be an adult trying to act like a kid.
s
Adult trying to act like a kid?? What does that mean??
Adult trying to act like a kid? What does that mean? That adults cant go to rock concerts? You are the fool for generalizing about how kids or adults should act. I act the way I want, I believe the way I want, I am the way I want to be..Dont like it?? Tough. Your post really makes no sense. I would suggest you check out rockers, most of them are over 40, and they are still rocking..
Any child is more adult than you are.
I grow weary of your tiresome chatter.....
So again having sex between 2 adult males sm
or females is the same grouping as men raping boys??? Come on, you are the one that needs an education.
She was an adult, not her mother's choice
Obviously there is enough evidence to hold at least 1 suspect as he is still being held! What about him? Poor him huh? You are exactly the kind of person who talks one way, but given the problem being placed on your doorstep, you would cry and complain just like the rest of them. If it were your child, you be just as angry and scared and frustrated as she is.
Yes, i advise my "children" he is an adult now. sm
He accepted the job as it was and can quit or accept the terms. my dh and i run a construction business. he runs around and spends 2 hours a day just picking up help. we do not pay travel time. you either choose to go or you don't. we do, however, buy their lunch when it is a longer than usual travel. when they are ICs as usually with any manual labor field, labor law and travel time doesn't constitute for their positioning. turn the situation. if someone was coming to your house to do some work, would you be willing to pay every person on that crew travel time? probably not because that would significantly raise the price which you probably already think it too high to do the work you need. you have to realize they are ICs as we are and have all the expenses of trucks, tools, gas, taxes, etc. and have to cut their prices because foreigners are taking over the manual labor fields as well and working for pennies just as transcription is doing but manual labor isn't going to overseas, overseas is coming to the US for pennies. i would have him ask the man he works for about it but it the guy accepts either live with it or quit. i doubt he will get it as with 18yo he can't have a lot of experience to constitute the extra pay, etc.
Like it or not, she is a legal adult and can do what she wishes.
You can tell her your opinions, but you really have no control over this. Just as you wouldn't want someone forcing you to have an abortion because they believe it's right, she likely doesn't want you trying to force her to keep it because it's what you think is right.
All you can do is be there for her if/when she needs you. Yeah, it may stink that her beliefs are not the same as yours, but there's nothing you can do about.
Why don't you do the adult thing and just BAN her from posting here instead of sm
doing through all of this drama and mess. It's getting old and I would think an owner of an MT board would be much more professional than this.

well, I am an adult with teen kids, so it's not too hard to
And they say divorce is less traumatic on adult children....
Unfortunately, this is NOT the case. Adult children whose parents divorce quite often end up just as you have described. They are old enough to form their own opinions which are quite often colored by their life experiences and how they relate to each parent as an adult with adult biases and opinions. Divorce, regardless of the age of the children, always affects the children and people who are "waiting until the kids are grown" are only deluding themselves.
In catechism class as an adult, they told us - sm
told us "it's better to remain as you are, but get married if you absolutely must." This was a group of people mostly over 40 who were studying to become Catholic.
A parent's job is to raise a child the way they should go as an adult ....
Isn't part of being an adult cleaning, taking responsibility? If so, YOUR job is to make them clean, certain rooms on certain days, not just during vacations. (I'm at work so this is succinct, and probably not real tactful, sorry)
i took an adult education class for 5 bucks,
in California 33 yr ago. I'm pretty sure most everyone trained on the job in those days, but i paid $5 for the course and bought a few books (med dictionary, workbook etc). This was an intensive course though with a great teacher -- 8r a day x 6 months and i probably studied 4-5 hr a night. I had a job before i got out of 'school' and i've worked continuous ever since, in many capacities, a number of states. I do think there are too many places nowadays however that take your money and don't prepare you well. But it's WHAT they teach, not the name of the school. We spent a good deal of time on word roots/prefixes/suffixes, interpreting sound, easily confusables, how to research, etc. Training my ear did not come easy for me, but i believe everywhere i've worked, i've been considered one of their best. Again, its not where you've been but what you learned when you got there!!
What? Don't like changing adult diapers all night long?

Glad to hear that my adult knitting friends and I are "trashy."

Adult children CHOSE to join army.Didnt they

That is ridiculous
Sometimes people are not where they want to be but where they HAVE to be. If I didn't have to be sitting here listening to these idiot dictators, believe me I wouldn't be.
ridiculous? no ....
I don't think my complaint was 'ridiculous'. What is ridiculous is receiving pages of scribbles in the mail on a daily basis - half of which I can't even read. THe other MT's in the company warned me already about this QA dude - he's a bit of a nut case.
No, I never claimed to know everything; and I'm open to hearing specs of individual facilities; of course!. My gripe was the pettiness of it all ... but I thought that was obvious in my post, MS Busy MT'ing. Maybe you're the one that doesn't know it all !
That's just ridiculous. nm

This is getting ridiculous.
Now there's a job on the job seekers board looking for an IC MT to do acute care with ops for 7.5 cpl. IC!!! With ops!!!! Give me a break. That's equivalent to about 6.3 cpl after paying self-employment taxes, not to mention overhead. Their website says "HIPPA" instead of HIPAA, too.
That's ridiculous!
BUT! We are supposed to transcribe his work with a smile on our faces....GRRRR....... I swear they just don't THINK!!! Good luck with that one.
That is ridiculous. Don't come WHY?
Looks like at the very least he enjoys his peace and quiet away from family but then maybe there is more to this than meets the eye.
That's ridiculous
I also have a 4-year-old and the whole point of preschool at this age is the social interaction, then the academics come in to play. She still has another year of preschool before Kindergarten, doesn't she? Maybe you should consider looking into another preschool. Sounds like the teacher is the problem.
Oh please, how ridiculous!
It was her sister for crying out loud! And I can't even believe the OP was questioning this. Extremely odd! ;0
Ridiculous
That is really time consuming. But that is my opinon. What you could do is to by sylcount and save each patient as a file and then count them and they would list each file out by the patient name. You could do an extension or by their name do cn for chart note, lt for letter, etc. Then on your invoice if you do totals by doctor, Dr. Smith total lines, Dr. Jones total lines, etc. and attach the print out from Sylcount that would show each file by the patient's name and the line count. I thought it was bad when I was subcontracting and I had to break out chart notes from letters/consults/x-rays by date and doctor. This again makes me thank my accounts as I just keep an Excel monthly line count by doctor, highlight the docs, attach to an invoice that has total line counts done in Quick Books and hand it in and they pay. Some accounts don't even want the daily break down by doctor just each doctor and a total line count. Have never been questioned once over my line counts. If this is a sudden change then I would tell them that there would be an hourly rate to figure this out and keep track of the time it takes. But again, one of the simplest programs that would do this for you would be Sylcount. Good luck.
Really ridiculous especially when...
typing into the hospital system because all they have to do is type in a few things and get this information.
That's ridiculous.
Is it ridiculous
to list a Brainbench certification for medical transcription on your resume?
Ridiculous
Sometimes I wonder how much nicer this industry would be without all the control fanatics. I wish they could just be shipped out to some island to battle amongst themselves, play those control games that they enjoy so much, and leave us to complete the work in a rational time period without all these ridiculous rules.
Seems ridiculous
As much "fixing up" we do of what is actually dictated, I think it's pretty crappy if you get points off for simple punctuation.
Just think if we all left everything completely verbatum (especially those dictators who say coma every other word or say to put periods in the middle of a sentence)!
Morning baby, morning adult. Kids born at 11:30AM (both) are night owls, however. Go figure! :) nm
s
the start up $$ is ridiculous
That's what I think is so sinful. They sucker you in telling
you can be an employee, you can make 12,000 a pay period
easY!
None of that is true. And then you are left trying to figure out
how to pay the insurance, pay for the computer you sunk money
into buying and meeting their requirements, reference books,
the whole 9 yards.
And do they have a conscience about leaving a mom and her children
with no food? I really doubt it.
And NO a new MT is not then ready for the next job because
all over again he/she will have to INVEST in the new stuff that
THAT particular company to meet THEIR peculiarities.
I'm sick of transcription now. When they sent us home - that relinquised
the responsibility of these nationals from providing equipment and
turned all the $$ over to profit for them and ate $$ out of our income - not to
speak of the extra utilities run while home. This computer heats up
my house terribly in the summer - it helps in the winter but it still makes
a considerable dent in my bill compared to my neighbors who work during the
day.
Ridiculous complaint?
Busy, you should really try to be a little kinder.....or read her complaint a little more closely. I think her complaint was not about CONSTRUCTIVE feedback. If she gets hard copies she can't read, what good are they? Just how ridiculous this QA thing can get; one of the editors in a company I worked for corrected my "40-year-old black female" to 40-year-old Black female." No problem, if that's what they want, that's what they get. I corrected my Expander to "Black." Editor #2 comes along and corrects me saying "black or white" is never capitalized. I fired back a very disgruntled e-mail and said editor #1 had corrected me and that I KNEW black was never capitalized but if they wanted it capitalized, fine with me but somebody needed to get their sh*t together and figure out what they wanted from me. At least with that company, editor #2 had some sense, she sent back a very nice e-mail saying that to appease editor #1 to go ahead and capitalize it until I was off QA and then do it whichever way I wanted and in the meantime she would not count me off for it. At least editor #2 had some sense but ridiculous? YES, indeed.
Busy, if you're working for both MQ and Spheris, I assume your experience is about the same as mine. I worked for MQ and for Spheris when they were Edix. Once I was off full edit (in a very short time), I never heard anything from either company QA again so I assume they were happy and I went right ahead doing my best.
that is a ridiculous comparison!
dogs, birds, cats, etc are all different animals that required different diets and have different needs. You can't even compare 1 dog breed to another b/c every breed has its different needs, so that being the case, how can you possibly compare dogs to birds?? That is just ridiculous.
Ridiculous, it you can't at least make 10 cpl
why not stick to your guns and work in something else for a while? Who can eat as a newbie at 3 cpl. If you work at McDonald's you would at least be able to eat!
No wonder the market has gone into the toilet. It is full of workers who won't stand up for themselves! If the docs want someone cheap, they get what they pay for. I am also sick and tired of typing record reviews with mistakes from EMR and dirt cheap workers included. But they do get the medical words most of the time. Forget the easy words like seat, it's sit, and that drives me nuts !!
The docs will never get sued like that, so don't count on that one!
No, the whole thing is ridiculous.
I agree he shouldn't have taken the money at all, but it shouldn't have been offered or put him in the situation at all. Despite whether or not the incident was handled perfectly, it is unfair that he was expected to wait for treatment because of disputes over who pays. He was unable to reach his employer, everyone was gone, small company. Reports and money can be figured out later, not when he needs immediate treatment for possibly broken bone or at the very least a nasty effusion that needs drained and could later affect his tendons.
The system is definitely broken.
I'm sorry but I think it is ridiculous for "businesses"
I know I want itemized statements for services. Wouldn't you?
Your own bookkeeping and accounting does NOT give you direct pay, true. It is part of running your business.
Where do charges stop? Do you need to be paid to get out of bed in the morning? To walk to your computer? To turn ON your computer? To load your programs?
Something, ladies, you simply have to do for yourself.
to me, your response is RIDICULOUS!
"American workers are pricing themselves out of the market with both their hourly wage demands......." This is YOUR statement. How else am I supposed to see it?? BTY, I am NOT whining, just stating the FACTS (as I see them). You had your say, and I had mine. Grow up!
Sometimes I think some of these doctors get more and more ridiculous ...
by the day.
I feel for you in this and will be sending positive thoughts your way that you'll get through the rest of the day without becoming too overwhelmed and stressed out.
That pay is ridiculous even for a newbie
If you graduated and did well from a good school (such as M-Tec or Andrews) you will have no trouble finding a decent job for decent pay. Starting pay for newbies should be in the 7-8-cents a line range. No lower than 6.
At 4 cents a line,at 100 lines per hour (typical for a newbie) that's only 4 dollars an hour. At 150 lines per hour it's only 6 dollars an hour.
I think this company is trying to get someone who has NO actual MT experience and may be desperate to work at home--maybe have skid-by skills.
No. Not for PT, not for FT, not ever. That kind of pay is beyond ridiculous.

Okay, I just started SR, but come on! This is ridiculous. SM
First, this is an American, clear as a bell dictator. Dictation does not come more straight forward than this guy:
SR: This is a vaginal lady
Actually dictated: This is a 51-year-old lady
Somebody explain to me how SR is such a wonderful tool?!?!?!
I am doing SR on Dictaphone EXText and it is just awful. Reports are just full of this kind of crap. I was just wondering does the Dictaphone SR server "learn." I know there are some SR programs that learn after the same correction is made consistently. The SR server will then auto correct itself. Is this true with Dictaphone? Because I have been doing SR for a couple of months now and it hasn't gotten any better and I'm making the same corrections over and over! I might as well be transcribing!
The ridiculous part
... they should know I am smart enough to know the difference. This makes me think that they are concerned about me getting information they would rather I did not have.
That's ridiculous, since you have been working
for about 3 years.
MTSOs work together with MT schools which do anything possible to lure people into their training programs.
Just keep looking and testing until you get hired.
As far as I know one can only get 'additional taining' through an internship (there are very few out there and they ask for a fee and do not pay for work doneduring the internship)) or to register into a complete program.
There are no short 'refresher courses.
If I were you I would ontinue to apply. And don't let 'them' tell you that you are not good, you are good, they only want your money.
That's absolutely ridiculous. Why don't they fix it?
Are you pretty sure from past experience that it's not just ''saying'' it wrong on the results, but if the post does get 10 actual Thumbs Down, it's still automatically deleted?
We should really test it out with this post. Come on, folks, vote only Thumbs Up for this sucker, and let's see if it gets ''automatically'' deleted or not. (Vote on the original post, of course.)
No ONE should do VR for that ridiculous price.
Mine is 4 cpl and with straight intermixed you can make a decent salary.
Simply ridiculous. There are many people here who
have entered viewpoints on certain subjects. It is an insult to MTStars for you to entertain the notion that only one person would post here with views different than what you would like to see. Get over yourself and have a nice day for a change.
Maybe things have crossed over to ridiculous
They better soon get some work or everyone will quit anyway. This is getting ridiculous. There is no
doubt they have some agenda with all this continuous hiring and no work.
