I'm so done with this.  I'm amazed you have a job.

Think you need to refer this to your QA,
they are 2 words where I work.
It has nothing to do with having a spine as you refer to it..
As long as the place I work helps me pay my bills, raise my children, and treats me fairly, it doesn't matter to me.  You are never going to get the entire transcription community to do that.  If we were all alike and had the same opinion life would be very dull and we would all be like drones.  If you CHOOSE not to work for companies that outsource, that is fine with me, as that is YOUR CHOICE.  However, I am happy where I am and it gives me what I need in life.  I hope that you can be a bigger person and respect other peoples choices in life.  They need not all be like yours. 
What are these "loopholes" you refer to?
My DH has been in administration healthcare for over 20 years (national health care company). He says there is no "loopholes" that keep him from following the wage and hour laws, overtime is overtime, PERIOD!! Their MTs get paid overtime just like everyone else, and have no FORCED mandatory overtime.

You need to contact the wage and hour division PRONTO...something is stinky here!!!
so it's okay to refer to doctor as like a pig!!
but i suggest we might be more professional and MY post is deleted!!?? Good grief. What gives?
Yes, I agree here. You want them to refer you

You want to keep them happy within reason.  I doubt it would be that much of a bother.  You can write off the expense of the stickies and the travel. 


The other worry I have is setting up digital for an office just because I don't want to travel and have them go with another MT because they could get cheaper rates by already being digital.  You don't want that to happen.


Can you tell I'm a firm believer in tape work and loyalty? 


No matter what, there are things in this profession that you do that are sort of thankless, but I think in the long run if you like the account, you're better off just cutting the stickies and attaching just a small fee each month as Patti says.


Is there a manager for QA you could refer all these

Here's a nice one I refer to
This one has a good collection of ops.  See link below.
Here's another useful site I refer to

This one's come to my rescue quite a number of times.

I'm sorry, but why would you refer to ?'s about ones puppy or what's for dinner
Not trying to start a flame or anything, but what's wrong with a few non-transcription questions here and there? It helps break up the monotony of the job, don't ya think?
We have a gal in our office who I refer to as the 'notetaker'. She's always got some e-mai
that lists this or that infraction. No one is immune. She just isn't happy unless everyone is unhappy and I think the complaints are really just a way to elevate her own status in her own mind.

Not everyone is like our "notetaker", but I've learned when it comes to work, do your best, meet your quotas and if you can have a little fun while doing it, then life is good. Pick your battles, don't sweat the little stuff, and you'll have a whole lot less stress to deal with.

You should refer them to the testing site.
That's what I do when someone says they *would like to work at home, like you.*  I had someone tell me, quote, *You just type what the doctor says, right?*  I just looked at her and said, *Yeah, you're right.  I just type what the doctor says.*  ARRRGGGHHHH! 
I refer them to the job boards so they can see how much experience they need. sm
That is it. I don't deal with it anymore. I usually just write down the website and go take a look. You will see how much experience, etc. you need. Good luck.

I have learned from past experience.

Never hear anything again from that same person.


Refer to the Spouse Equity Act

You are entitled to coverage for 18 months...some of these responses just floor me!


A lot of physicians refer to their patients
as heterosexual or having same sex partners, it is very relevant in some aspects, as in exposure to AIDS/HIV, etc.
I still refer to myself as a 'transcriber' because I hate
I don't think any of us even CARE what the real name of that buncha shysters is.
Try to refer to ref sites and books
Sites like these help.
Why not? Other MT boards refer people here all the time?
Are we supposed to just pretend other sites don't exist?
It's not a fad. You need her doc to refer you to a therapist for her. Took my teen years to get

I read the posts. Most of my references refer to

I don't have time to refer to reference the law details but (sm)
Check out:

You'd be surprised!

An employer has the right to answer questions, but a prospective employer is limited as to what they can ask. Unfortunately, not enough smaller businesses know and follow these rules, thus a terminated employee ends up being blackballed.
Without having Word open to refer to, I'll see if I can help...sm
When you click on autotext to open it, it should be where you can type in a new entry. Type in the entry you want to delete, and when it is highlighted I think an option should show to delete. I hope this is right, but like I said, I don't have Word open and I may have missed a step. Hope this gets you started in the right direction anyway.
That's what I'm thinking, too. Our agency told us to refer ALL creditors to them
and they were awesome. I'm thinking she doesn't have a good one, either. She definitely needs to call them or switch agencies, like the one you mentioned, to help her.
We don't have to SAVE lists of mistakes to refer back to. They are readily available at any given
Believe it or not, that's the kind of stuff we see all day long on a daily basis. Your resentment for QA is shining through. Perhaps you recognize some of these errors....
Template lines usually refer to pretyped canned reports
These would include such templates like epidural steroid injections and such where you are just typing in patient demographics and the date of procedure, cataract surgeries, or whatever canned dictation the physicians have come up with so they can cut costs and not dictate. Make sure you are not always having to revise the templates constantly at no cost; otherwise, that is a good price.
got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to

we received our "incentive packet."  They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally.   These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.


*70 will disable call waiting unless you are expecting a call and want it on (nm)

On-call requires on-call compensation by law
This field gets more disgustingly grotesque daily.
Definitely one of the other board's people who refer to those on this board as "holy rollers,&
Now go ahead and post your reply - I know you're dyin' to!

LOL
Maybe try to find a good web site to refer to! Good luck NM
.
Call me, call me anytime.
I'm waiting to hear back on a job.  Call me!
Call KS and call your bank. Why ask here?
.
If they don't call you within 15 minutes, you should call them. There
is no excuse for leaving you sitting by a phone all day. At the very least, an e-mail explaining why the delay. If this is the way they train, how do they pay. Do you really want to work for a company who thinks so little of your time?
Call the doc and get an Rx....sm
My 3 kids had hand, foot, and mouth disease and the lesions in their mouths was just awful!! When they got chicken pox about a year after that one of my kids had them in her mouth and the doctor prescribed the same mouth rinse. They swished it around and spit it out and they stayed numb for hours! They finally got rest that way and so did I!! Go luck to you and hope all is well soon.!
you may need to call the doc (sm)
cause when I had the chicken pox, the same think happened to me and they did spread to my throat and became infected.  I had to take antibiotics...I remember so well cause I was 13 YO when I had them.  Also, it is Maalox and Benadryl, and viscus lidocaine, but I think that is Rx only.  I'd call the doc if it were my child.   give them a hug for me, I know how they feel!
I would call
your local humane society first and speak to them about the matter.  First, do a little investigation while your neighbors are gone.....does the dog have fresh water and food during the day?  Does he have shelter at all times from the sun or from storms?  It is totally a bad thing for any animal to be kept on a chain.  Look real hard and try to find out anything they are doing wrong with that poor pup.  Actually just calling the humane society or animal control about his constant barking should bring them out to talk with the owners.  Let us know how it goes for you.  I know it has been unpleasant for you but, as you apparently realize, it is even worse for that dog.  This is your chance to help him. 
call first

I would contact Hotels.com first to see why they only reimbursed partial.  That is ridiculous.  I would be upset.  How long ago did they bill your credit card?  I'd call your credit card company and dispute the charge.  Most credit card companies will fight it for you.


Good Luck!!


You call that a different POV?

the point is how this person has attacked the OP.  They were rude and it was uncalled for.  so the next time you have a concern and bring it here, we can rip you apart instead of give support and you can chalk it up to it being a different POV.


I get so SICK of some people trying to make excuses for bad behavior. 


We call them
PIG NUTS up here!  LOL  They are good, though.
call in 1-800
MedT:

idigital through transcriptiongear.com is very very reliable. You pay for what you use. I have been with them for over four years now and you dont worry about anything.. Check out the website and give them a call.
On Call Pay..
I know someone who works as a computer tech. When she is on call for a weekend, she gets paid $3 an hour for every hour she is given "on call" duty, so basically from 5 p.m. Friday to 8 a.m. Monday, she is paid $3 an hour, whether she has a "trouble" call or not. When she does get a call it is usually 15-30 minutes to deal with it, and it rarely happens. I think she has a great deal. She is not a transcriptionist, but is employed by a hospital.
On Call Pay
Thanks Pam. That gives me an idea of price range.
I can see why you call yourself that!
Spheris is hiring over 1500 US MTs THIS YEAR ALONE, you idiot. It's laughingly obvious that you're a disgruntled worker or EX. LMAO I hear McDonalds is hiring. LOL

Everything in your post is bogus. Just an angry dissidence. LMAO
I will call them
I will call them once I get DSL in my area. It isn't available here yet.
Why are we getting a call
to ask if we got the packet yet when we are not supposed to get it until October? This seems really weird to me.
The call...

was very friendly. Medquist will now offer:


1.  15 cpl/line for each and every MT regardless of ASL or regular transcription.


2.  If work runs out each MT will be guaranteed compensation at their average hourly salary until work does come in.


3.  All offices will be run exactly the same way.


4.  If U believe all this, I do have a rather nice bridge in Brooklyn to sell...


No call yet either
I am still waiting for my call regarding the Rewards Plan. Letter is dated 9/2 and today is 9/14; that is almost a couple of weeks. The packet will come sometime in October so we will probably get a call a few days before it comes so we won't have enough time to look it over.
What should we call him?

Call whoever you want to
Listen up Bozo - I don't have any cousin named Sipper!

Go call whoever you feel like calling! For you comment about me being off the meds, why YES I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
not my call but

...if it were me I would tell them to STICK IT!  There are better jobs elsewhere!


Refuse to be treated like a doormat.  You're far better than that.


 


Why don't you call them and ask?
Make sure you have your dates right, verify your account information. The first paycheck is usually a check in order to make sure direct deposit is working properly. Other than that, nobody here can help you.
Call it what you please.

When I have a medical transcriptionist transcribe for my clients, they are subcontractors. 


When I transcribe for a clinic or hospital, I am the independent contractor. 


Now, you can refer to those positions in whatever form you wish and in the way that makes you happiest, but those, ma'am, are the facts, so I'm through going 'round the rosie with you about this.
