You talk about QA being arrogant, BUT
Posted By: sm on 2005-08-08
In Reply to: I was not answering MT school post but the one that happened to correct an error - PAY ATTENTION!
You post all the time and it is very visible how much you are actually arrogant. You have such a terrible attitude and nasty mouth. Even as the abbreviation you used it is uncalled for. Your opinion is NOT the only one that matters. You are one person i would just LOVE to meet in person. I would be the first to put you in your place right then and there!

PS..arrogant to say the least
Arrogant?? Not at all. sm
How does giving an honest response to a direct question regarding income equate arrogance?
I'm amazed each and everytime I read some of these posts that people can be so hateful, bitter, catty, and jealous.
I hate transcription and am totally burned out. I do just enough to get by. If another MT is typing their fingers off and making a comfortable living, I say "Good for them!" How can you begrudge someone who works hard for being successful?? Would it have made you feel better about yourself if she had posted that she is struggling to make ends meet and can't feed her family? Good grief people.
I know that. You're the arrogant one here.
Why would I want to be a doctor anyways? I have my reasons for being in MT. Direct patient contact and long hours don't fit into the life plan. Nobody here has to explain themselves to you. The truth is that nobody even likes you because you're such a nasty, mean person. That's why you're here verbally abusing strangers on the Internet. Have you kicked any dogs lately?
Too arrogant for me and I think he prefers men. nm
I agree. You are arrogant.

I have no issues at all. I'm just saying that the OP is being condescending and arrogant.
And if there are any issues going on, they seem to be coming from a person who needs to analyze any posts in diagreement with their opinion as if that disagreeing poster must be crazy and that simply isn't the case.
No I don't think doctors are arrogant and inconsiderate as a whole.
Because they don't dictate the way we like isn't a personal thing against us. Some have skills with dictation that others don't. Like public speaking, some can, some can't. Doctors do have lives and problems and patients outside of trying to dictate patient records.
It's how incredibly arrogant this administration is!
How can you trust anything that comes from anyone in this adminstration's mouth? Starting at the very top!! I can NOT wait until his dictatorship is over. I am really praying that the Democrats get back in office. I can not stand the Bush administration's air of superiority. I don't appreciate being made to look foolish on the world stage. Bush and his cronies are an embarrassment to this country. I can not wait until their regime ends!!
No, I was agreeing that Mary's arrogant.
;)
Eewwww... you don't talk like an MT, you talk like mangement. Ick. (n/m)
:p
Gee, I dunno. Maybe since you find Americans fat and arrogant is a start
so we're stuck with your nasty ol' hair-ball self
I hope you realize not all Americans are this nasty and arrogant.
ss
Not nearly as arrogant and inconsiderate and downright exploitative as most MT companies n/m
nm
I personally don't. I think she's arrogant, pompous, and in general, a big mouth who's ful
Aren't you sorry you asked? (LOL!)
you sound arrogant to me. "unfortunate family members?"
like they can't take care of themselves without your noble gifts. Maybe you should be reading some books on codependence.
Please explain what was snippy, rude, arrogant, or insulting in her post.
Sorry, but that's the attitude YOU put forward. You're the one ranting about not being able to find quality MTs. You use the same nickname and the same style as someone who posted the same topic a few days ago. I think you knew that would incite a riot. Maybe the MTs should start an MTSO bashing post and explain the real reason some MTSOs can't find decent MTs. You reap what you sow. If you're only offering newbie rates, you're only going to get newbie applicants. Maybe it's YOU that is the reason you can't find quality MTs.
Do you think doctors are generally arrogant and make a lot of money and so inconsiderate of us?
I had been listening to several breast onco dictations by the same female dictator who kept on yawning that it was so annoying...made me want to post a complaint to a forum of mother MDs (though I was not quite sure where I would post it) which I previously run into...
I then saw under the General Discussion board this thread:
http://www.mommd.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php/ubb/get_topic/f/1/t/000236/p/1
That made me feel like reaching out to the sleepy doctor who was probably not being paid for that time she takes to dictate about her patients (she apparently let them pile up before dictating) and just let her head rest on my lap (I am a female). Maybe she did not have enough sleep, or not even enough time to enjoy her family...
Excuse me? Arrogant for buying a house for a family member that was sm
about to become homeless? I think not. You sound like my ungrateful, jealous sister in law who can't stand anyone else to succeed. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. They were unfortunate at the time and we bailed them out! Ask them, they will tell you where they would be had my husband and I not put our credit on the line for them.
Can someone talk to me?
I'm really depressed and need someone; no religious stuff, though.
At what point should one give up one's children if you feel you aren't giving them a good life?
I will talk to you.
I will talk to you. Why do you feel your children are not getting what they deserve from you? Would you like to chat on the chat line? It would be easier to carry on a conversation. I know the one constant in life is that things are always changing, so what is making you depressed now could change at any time. Let's talk.
Talk to you.
I think to give up a child so that it can have a better life takes a lot of love. I don't think anyone does this to be mean or selfish. It's the most unselfish thing a person can do. Is this your child? How old?
Doc's talk to me
I do about 15 doctor's and I have at least 10 that do talk to me. Only one is a griper, the rest are real friendly and always tell me nice things, plus call me by name, which is a + in my book.
need a pep talk
I am feeling so rotten about myself and my MTing abilities today. I got an E-mail from quality control about several errors in a report and complaints from that particular hospital on this one report. Apparently, I had put she in several spots that should have been he. I also did not fill out the demographics screen. I guess I am getting ahead of myself with this produce, produce, produce thing. I suppose it is time to slow down. Anyone else had a slap on the wrist and felt horrible and then just feel so unsure of yourself that you just feel like you need to put the keyboard up for a while? 
So what do YOU want to talk about?
You should talk about it with them.
Why do families act like idiots after a death regarding the items left behind?
Let's Talk
I've been in this business since 1981. For many years I felt it was the greatest opportunity I could have ever had with a high school education only. I was trained on-the-job by a teaching hospital. You know what I mean, the money-making career without the college. Well, that worked out all and well until a few years ago (or maybe more, I was busy having kids and lost track of my mind...lol) when I noticed that suddenly companies were trying to rip off transcriptionists. And I don't mean a few, I mean MOST. In trying to look for a job with benefits, because I got divorced, I was thinking to myself, what the heck happened.....and was also thinking, surely these are just transcriptionists who have been burned. NOT SO. The medical Transcriptionist has been lost....we are made to feel as secretaries, time wardens, ESL experts, etc. I am totally baffled by it. BECAUSE, we are professionals, we really are. How many people do you know could sit down and do what we do? It is specialized, it should be treated as a profession, yet company after company is offering not much more than 8 cpl. HELLO??? Are you kidding me??? I should just go get a job at McDonald's.....I am serious, I am so furious right now I can't see straight. This is pitiful. I now am truly sorry I even ever entered the transcription profession. Let's all walk away and see where they are then!!! Okay, thanks for the vent. I AM SO FRUSTRATED.
Just talk with them
They have probably had to set up other people, I would call and talk with the person that asked me if I was looking for more work and explain to them that you have usually just been on the other end and what you have that you are working with now, am assuming you have the pedal and you download from your large service, well if they are digital then they will just upload and you will go on some site and download your files. But don't let this opportunity get away from you as when they need someone usually the first warm body that comes through the door is the one that they grab if they can do a half way decent job. But call and ask questions and do the research on what they are currently doing now. Good luck, let us know how it goes.
Need to talk to tax guy to see what U can/cant
n
you should probably talk to her,
given the HIPPA laws and what if somehow this ever goes to court (that would be my luck) and you actually have to go? Gone are the days when I typed my own path report because there wasn't anyone else to do it! and my own chest x-ray and mammogram, H&P and op note!
Seeing I talk back to sm
dictators, I'd probably just scream FU back at the computer screen.
Do your docs talk 2U?
I have one doctor who, when she wants to correct something or other always says "This is an aside to the typist." ARGH. I feel like I'm in a Shakespeare play or something - don't those have a lot of "asides"? I always want to scream at her "Don't you know I'm not a TYPIST?? I'M A MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTIONIST, DAMN IT!!!!" Of course she's 80 or something so I shall forever be "the typist" to her.
I have a resident who always says "For transcriptionist, would you...." to get my attention - but when he was new I thought he was saying "Poor transcriptionist..." I always nodded my head in sad agreement until I realized what he was actually saying....
And then there's the doc who loves to complain about his job to me, sometimes in great detail - "Here I sit, waiting for some x-rays to come in so I can make a buck" and "I cannot believe this hospital."
They crack me up!      
docs talk to me
I always get one who says, "uh, secretary, please correct..." and then I have one who always says "oh, operator, could you kindly...." Does he think that because he dictates into a phone it's a telephone operator on the other end or what?
Where do you usually talk about productivity?
I don't see a board for increasing productivity. I usually just post questions on the main board but think I will get more information if I post questions on the board specifically for productivity.
TIA
Talk to a doctor
Find out what is the downside for YOU, then make your decision from there. Sounds simple, but I'd hate to have to make that decision. Godspeed.
Walk your own talk, then.
Why don't YOU take in all that trash if they're all just innocent victims of "the system". It's always someone else's fault, isn't it? You liberals never hold the parasites responsible for any of their own actions or any of the CHOICES they make. It's always the government's fault, or capitalism's fault, or the fault of people with money (you know, the ones who worked hard and EARNED their lifestyle). We're all supposed to keep paying through the nose so a bunch of parasites can breed generation after generation of parasites and no one is allowed to point out the truth. Fine. YOU let them all live with you.
has anyone ever had a recruiter talk down to them - sm
I cannot believe the way this woman spoke to me in such a condescending manner. She made herself sound so high and mighty, and yet all through the industry I had only heard good things about her. I applied for a position, was contacted by phone, and she told me that my EXTENSIVE 14 years experience, along with 3 years QA experience was not enough for their company. But it was the tone that she used! I am not a sensitive person in any way, but she made me feel like I was inadequate and had no business applying for a job with their company. When I told her what I made (which I said I could prove on my taxes and pay slips) she balked (?sp) as if I was making it up.
Has anyone else ever been through this?? I do not want to say the name of this person or the company because I do not think it is relevant.
Talk about childish!

Talk shows
I thought about it as I do quite a bit of transcribing different types of seminars but when I saw what they charge people for a transcription of the show I thought boy they must not pay much as it does not cost much to get a transcription of a show, less than $20. So they must have some type of automated transcription as for a 8 hour seminar I get anywhere from $500 to $750 and for a three day seminar I get close to $2000. Per line charge. But is frustrating to do sometimes as the audio is not the greatest at time.
But that was my thoughts on the subject.
Well, talk about job security
This morning, she came in my office and brought me a flyer...
HEADING:
Medical Transcription Services at 7.6 cents per line...
Extraordinary Quality Medical transcription at 7.6 cents per line (65 character line)
24-hour Turn Around Time (TAT) compliant
2-4 hour Turnaround available on request
Secure and fully HIPAA complant
HIghly experienced Medical Transcription Staff will ensure that your transcription is completed efficently with the highest level of quality.
yada...yada...yada....on and on with their ad...
How can a company possibly work for this? Wonder what the transcriptionists get paid? Would this be outsourced?? I wanted to ask these questions, but our manager doesn't care about anything but the dollar. I've been here 17 years and the work load is overwhelming. So am I threatened, YES! Should I be?
Talk America
I live in North Carolina and cannot find Talk America in my area for $49.95. Someone else also told me about them. Where are you?
Please talk with neice
I, too, got pregnant when I was 18 (had baby at 19). I was whoring around, doing drugs, and making bad life decisions. I met a guy and 2 weeks later found out I was pregnant. I told him and we both decided on abortion. We went to the clinic, paid them $500 dollars. They did the "initial exam" and set us up for a date to have the abortion.
2 days after my initial evaluation, I was in tears and told "this guy" that I really wanted to have the baby. He cried and said that he did, too. We were basically both just going to abort because we thought that is what the other one wanted.
I cry everytime I think about that awful thing that I almost did. I would never hurt my baby now that she is here, how could I have thought about hurting her when she was completely helpless?
Well, 7 years later, I have a wonderful kindergartener who can read and write (wrote her daddy a letter before school this morning saying he was the greatest dad ever). This child changed my life. She means the world to me. I can't stand it when people say that a child would get in the way. My child gave me something to live for.
By the way, I was a lucky one. That guy, is now my husband and we will be celebrating our 5 year anniversery this year :) We also have a wonderful 2 year old.
Ummm...you need to talk to someone about this!
Why would anyone need this info? That is too strange. I would call a lawyer or another bank and find out about it. Did they SELL you the insurance or what?
I'll talk to them.
NM
Well, there isn't any good to talk about.
If you'll go to the company board and go through the archives you can read the posts, but basically they suck big time. Sound quality lousy, dictators lousy, management lousy, hard to get lines ......
Had a "friend" talk to me ....sm
like that one day as I was sitting at the computer. She was one who knew she could do it, blah, blah, blah. I said "sure, sit down here and get busy." Couldn't get past 3 sentences! She never mentioned it again and had a new respect for what I do!
Do you know anyone you could talk into joining under you?
From what I've read, the program pays when you get down to the 8th level. So, you need to sell someone who can also sell someone 8 times before you'll see any real money.
You may make a few bucks at first but compare that to the joining expense, what things you have to buy, I understand 2 or 3 things, and something about a $20 monthly site fee (just what I've read, remember).
Personally, I wouldn't waste my money on it.
Try to talk to someone within MR Dept.
That kind of info wouldn't be easily found out unless you actually know someone in MR Dept, HR, Personnel, someone with knowledge of what happens around there. Our local xray techs actually know what one of our hospitals do with their transcription.
How about using a webcam to talk? sm
My kids did that when my sister went to Japan for 4 years. I never used it (I liked emails and the phone) but they loved it. It seemed to help that they could talk face to face and they used Instant Messenger a lot,too. It's worth a try and not too expensive to set up, I don't think.
Not, OP, but wondering how you can talk someone into it? sm
My sister has had asthma all her life, and she smokes now. Three years ago, she was in the hospital after an anaphylactic reaction to a beesting, and nearly died. She remembers being intubated, and absolutely hated it. She swore she would not smoke again because of not wanting to ever have to be intubated again, yet she started up again. Is this one of those people who you'll never get through to?
Well, I only talk to her once every few weeks
and then just generally make jokes about it and such, so I'm not constantly nagging her. I guess all one can really do is pray that they'll change their mind before they're outta time!!
If you talk to her about it every few weeks
and joke about it in between, that constitutes as nagging to this smoker. Not trying to be harsh or tell you not to do it, JMO. I posted below about quitting for two months, but I did not mention that I asked the few people I did tell about it to not talk about it AT ALL (I mean, I did not want any pep talks, no congratulations, nobody telling me what a good thing I was doing, or anything else.) I pretty much feel the same way about continuing to smoke, though I don't ask people not to say anything about that . . . guess I can handle it a lot better when I'm smoking.
