You are sadly mistaken about what that means.

You are mistaken...
They really do not care about providing healthcare inside the prison. TRUST ME. I never realized the horror stories you hear are true until now.
You are mistaken
you wrote: ...and the funny thing is the ones who take it offensively and post these things are actually the ones who are racist or making it into a racist thing."
It's great *you* didn't automatically see the racial component of the original post, but RACISM is very subtle, and usually NOT recognized by those who do practice it the most (which is not to suggest this includes *you).
THAT'S why it's incumbent on all of us to never tolerate it, regardless of what "color" is being targeted.
The original poster may very well have the same problem with ANY bad dictator, but she/he ONLY complained about ebonic-speaking dictators.
If i am not mistaken
The key #'s are determined by the dictation system for the company you are working with. For instance where "7" signs off a report on some systems 7 jumps to the beginning on others. So, if you know what the keypad corresponds to for your system I can help you there. If this is a 0421 or 0424 you can go to the Classifieds board, down at bottom, unless it moves to page 2 before then, you can access a free c-phone manual which will walk you through the program steps.
You are mistaken.
Piecework or not, no company is required to pay you overtime unless they approve it. I don't know where you got this impression, but it is wrong. By the way, I used to be an HR director in California, so I know what I'm talking about.
no you aren't mistaken
What I mean is that I am currently enrolled in my CMT program at my school of choice and yes, after two years of experience I can then sit for the test...but I don't know what that has to do with my question...just wanted to gain some insight since I am new to the medical transcription game...sorry if I offended anyone
That poster is mistaken anyway.
I had been back and forth on this board all day Monday, and I did not see her post until after my younger son got home, after 3:30.
In any case, I just cannot believe this poor woman was attacked and accused of making her children feel bad. CLEARLY, her post was about her happiness that their first day had gone well.
you are SO mistaken and PATHETIC
I have worked for her for over 5 years and NEVER had a problem.
Guess going national to find decent transcriptionists is a mistake. All you do is slam, slam, slam. Pathetic bunch a lot of you are. You deserve stuggling with the huge companies and low work and crappy platforms and VR at half the pay.
Wrong answer. You are mistaken.
The company does not need to know your set hours. That is considered employee honey! They'd get in a lot of trouble if the IRS found out they had classified IC's working set schedules dictated by the company!!!! 
Perhaps I am mistaken, but thought I saw a Dell with both sm
With today being cyber Monday they will be very busy but if they can help you, perhaps you would get a break. I got one today on a monitor from them. I could be wrong though but I am sure I saw a computer that had both, ????
Sadly, I agree. nm

Sadly, nothing gets cig smell out of anything. It
always sneaks back. I have been burned 3 times out of 4 on E-Bay with MT stuff. I am a huge buyer and seller, and its the only area I've not been happy with, so I'd rather buy new now than risk it. Hopefully it will work. One thing I have tried is sealing whatever it is up in a bag for as long as possible, or as frequently as possible, with a Outdoor Fresh Scent Bounce or two in the sealed bag with the item. Over time the Bounces absorb some of the cig smell. But it would be a hassle undoing a C-phone every day and bagging it. Sorry - that smell makes me sick, too, and I used to smoke! Good luck.
You are, sadly, correct
Makes you wonder if this is how the peaceful, loving Muslims feel about the crazy nut jobs in their religion. I just hate it that they are claiming to be doing all of this on the basis of Christianity.
I hate it that they get the airtime, but better that than to protest at the funerals.
This is so very sadly true
No matter what is posted, if it's positive in nature, at least one poster has to come along and try to rain all over that person's parade. This site could be so wonderful and a great tool IF everyone just showed one iota of respect for one another, some common decency, without resorting to name calling, personal insults, etc. I'm a positive person as well and am very content with my career and my personal life. I never let this site bring me down, but I do find myself feeling very sorry for the posters on here who obviously go out of there way to antagonize and insult other posters. It's clear that something vital is missing from their lives if snarking at other posters makes them feel validated.
It's quite sad, actually.
I may be mistaken but the mook of style 2 may have went to one space
My company that I switched to is single space..Talk about a habit to break after all these years.
I sadly put my books into my bookcase sm
and went totally electronic. I can find surgical stuff so much faster online rather than going through the books. I'm more confident and faster doing OPS now than ever before since I don't leaf through the books, just search online, and of course I double check everything. I have the electronic drug reference but rarely use it since my internet is open all day long.
Sadly, most people think it's easy.
Oh, maybe I should do that. My house would always be clean, and I'd be able to do anything I wanted with my kids. How do I sign up?
Yeah....don't ya just wanna choke 'em!!
My hubby used to say I got to go relax and type....until I made him sit at the computer and said now type that note. He worked on it for 20 minutes and got 2 lines done...of course asking me 4 different times on words. I said, good job honey...you'll make 50 cents an hour.
Sadly, while you are not wanting to spread the name...
...Some other unsuspecting MT is signing a contract with these folks.
Believe me, I felt the SAME exact way as you back when I was fooled by D&L. I gave them the benefit of the doubt for over a month, and actually believed payment would be sent to me. I didn't talk badly about them, well not until PA Dept of Labor decided there was nothing they could do for me as an IC. Here it is, 1 year later, and I still haven't been paid...either have 20+ others who were all just suddenly *let go.*
The only loyalty you should ever have in this business is to yourself, your pocket and to a fellow struggling MT. Don't be scared to let others know the name of a company to avoid.
Good luck dealing with PA courts/magistrates/Dept of Labor, etc. I hope you get your pay.
Hey ladies, I am a midwife and an MT. However, the money comes from MT sadly. sm
I do midwifery on the side as i love it but i have to keep my 2 MT jobs to keep the bills flowing. I am an LM, CPM so i do not do hospital deliveries. I do homebirth/ birth center deliveries so the pay is less than CNMs would make but a lot of the CNMs these days do all the crap work from the MDs. Best thing with MT is it works around my MW schedule. Love it!! I average about 20-30K on midwifery delivering about 15-20 babies a year. I personally know one that delivers 3-4 a month and averages about 75K but i choose not to be that busy with midwifery til my kids get older as i still need family time. I don't see where to put email in here but if anyone wants info from me, would be happy to share.
Retta is inclined to agree, sadly...
Our MTng days of you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours are over. Now watch out for that knife blade, I am sorry to say...
I thought I heard the Atlanta office was closed? Was I mistaken? nm

it's spelled right. Exo means outside and you know what phrenic means. nm

Sadly, I agree that more and more jobs are going to go to 3rd world countries. However, that is not

You don't get bonuses for doing it. It's just mixed in with the regular stuff, sadly. nm

St. Agnes High School, Rochester, NY, sadly no longer exists
Hail to St. Agnes High, we sing to thee, school days are bright and fair, our hearts fill with glee to know (something, something, and then best line) white speaks of purity, womanhood's jewel (etc., etc.)
The above poster is right. Sadly, I've been on Escription for four years and my line counts
were going down. Apparently, the hospital decided we were being overpaid so they manipulated the way were paid i.e. footers, headers etc. They could change it to whatever they wanted and the MTSO did nothing as they wanted to keep the contract. So we had to suck up and take the reduction, along with the fact that all of our work was/is being sent to India so it's slim pickens most days unless you want the crappy accounts. I would ask a lot of questions, but as a whole, Escription accounts and the companies who have it rarely like to pay a decent livable cpl. JMO
VOIP - If I am not mistaken VOIP requires a high speed connection.
:(
Drugs! Lots of drugs! Sadly, you're probably like
most of us and don't have time to go to the doctor! Oh well! Feel better soon! You are not alone! 
I think what she means is....
Kent State had a lot of conflict when Nixon declared war and the students were rioting. They were vandalizing and burning property, fighting. They called in guardsmen. The guardsmen threw tear gas canisters into the crowd to disperse them and the crowd starting throwing them back. The guardsmen started shooting into the crowd. People are still not sure why they started shooting. I think nine people were shot, 2 died or something like that.
Anway, I see the point though. Things happen at college, does that mean you shouldnt send your kids? And if you do, are you a bad parent and deserve to be judged?
What about the parents that send their kids to school the day of the Columbine High School shooting. I guess they deserved it because they were there?
Please tell me what this means...
I have been trying to figure out for the last five days since I started frequenting this site...but what in the world does it mean when people put things like nm and sm in their posts? This is driving me NUTS!!
Not sure what that means. Can you
tell me what ME in the letter from MQ mean? Thanks.
What she means is (sm)
that DocQScribe does not count the characters that you input into the demographics screen, even if you have to do it all with nothing imported. This means that characters MTs previously were paid for -- patient name, dates of service, referring physicians' names, courtesy copy names/addresses, are not compensated. If you do a lot of little reports, that will mean a HUGE decrease in line count, whereas the impact won't be so bad if you do mostly long consults. Unfortunately most companies seem to be going this way, even the very nice company I'm working for now which has me hunting through blurred PDFs of faxes to find the patient information (I'm hanging in there because it's a new account and they say they'll have the demographics imported). At MQ and DSG DQS paid for spaces; I've heard that Accuscribe does not. The "red headers" are paid for. As you say, it's simple to check your line counts using Word or MedPen's counting program.
As lovely a platform as DQS is, the overall opinion seems to be that line counts drop dramatically when using it. I don't know if that's really always true since the second day I worked for DSG I did 1500 lines, but I know that I had to leave MQ after DQS as I never was able to make the money I felt I needed. There are still a few good companies out there, but you have to really search them out.
You know what I think this means? sm
The letter says pay rates are based upon experience, skill, and work difficulty.
This leads me to believe, in conjunction with what you are saying, that our rates will be based on the above criteria. Each MT has probably been evaluated and given some rating score or something that will determine each of our "specialized new" base pay.
What I'm anxious about is the fact SE is not mentioned. I have a feeling (JUST a feeling -- since employee was the only word used) they are doing away with SE. If so, no more quarterly bonus and the IRS perks that go along with SE status. That will make me VERY sad.
does anyone know what this means...sm
When I try to log on to DQS, I get a message that states that my user profile failed to download...anyone know anything about this?
Of course, I work for MQ, and hate to call them, cause it takes forever to get an answer to a simple question, so if anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it!
BTW, I have already logged out and in like a thousand times, plus restarted my computer, so that's not the problem. TIA!
it means
turn around time
sm means
that's not what it means
it means that six times he performed a heterosexual act that resulted in conception, but that doesn't make him a heterosexual.
You can love Ford but still drive a Buick on occasion.
DVI- please tell me what this means
It may be the stupidest question but what does DVI mean and that I need to have a DVT-supported footpedal? Does anyone know where I can get one and how much it may cost?
Thanks!
It means don't believe everything
you read. A bunch of overpaid suits never transcribed a day in their life. Also they put out propaganda trying to make more money by lying.
What this means
I am required to quote my charges for contract job and they ask me to
Breakdown cost by telephone call-in to a center or audio files being sent to you.
Any one knows about it?
By all means.............sm
That would be GREAT!!! *grins* 
Contact me whenever regarding this....oh, except when I'm in VEGAS in the autumn. *winks*
What it means is this
There are a few posters on this site that are really negative, think they know everything, and post nasty rude responses to other people's postings. Some of us call them "trolls" and sometimes we get caught up in trying to make them see how rude they are by posting back. It never works though, and we call that feeding the trolls, or keeping an argument going that does not lead to anything good. I guess we should try to ignore their rudeness, but it is hard sometimes. How's that? Did I explain it okay?
I think she means sm
TIA as in thanks in advance.
I think she means...
 Oops.....new here.....lol!
do you know what EMR means?
It means your medical record is all electronic. She does not need to look for another job.
n/m means
8
NM means no more and SM means some more
x
no that means that they pay 9 cpl and sm
a line is 65 characters not just a line no matter how short. "Gross lines" are when you get paid for a line no matter how short.
You are not an MT I take it? Not in this country either????
Not sure what it means
but mine says 1:17???
I think that's what the poster means.
If they can't report everything why is it that missing middle or upper class white females get much more attention and help than missing [insert race here] females who come from a family with very little money. Look at the case of Laci Peterson and the attention it got compared to an exact same case of Evelyn Hernandez and her 5-year-old son. She was a pregnant woman with very little money in her third trimester carrying a baby boy, who was reported missing just months before Laci. Her body was found in the same bay yet there was barely any attention at all given to that case. The case was never solved and in fact her son is still missing to this day and we still don't even hear much about it. I agree with the OP. Publicity helps in getting support and if the major news networks can report every single night for months and months on one case, why can't they report some of those nights on other cases? 
Being in day care is better if it means
they get eat, have clothes to wear and have a place to live. Yeah, they need mama, but they also need those other things, too.
it means to "trick out" a car (sm)
are you referring to the show? If so, it means they get a hunk of junk car and turn it into a show car, if you will. They usually put all kinds of electronics in it, like TVs, videogames, stereos, etc. Actually, a lot of silliness that is just a waste of money, BUT...that's what TV is all about, right? I hope this helps!
