95%???? Don't know where you get your statistics.
You're generalizing. And you obviously have one hell of a chip on your shoulder. You seriously need some anger management help.
You seem to have a lot of statistics for someone who is
So, I think you've just blown your cover. 
What statistics?
Can you cite your statistics that trailer parks are where criminals usually go?  I work in the criminal justice system in an area where all of the municipalities have "zoned out" trailers and trailer parks, and the crime rate here is much higher than in the town I originally came from, which has a trailer park every mile, it seems.  While property-oriented crimes are likely to take place in poorer neighborhoods, child molesters come from every walk of life.  They are no more likely to be trailer dwellers than penthouse dwellers.  The difference?  The penthouse dwellers have the cash to keep it quiet.  Kid yourself if it makes you feel safer, but your statistics prove nothing.
I don't doubt you, anyone knows statistics
can be manipulated to show anything you want them to.
There is proof in the statistics
Not long ago there was an article in Advance magazine about salaries.  CMTs do make an average of, I believe it was, 20% more than a non-CMT.  That's proof enough for me. 
Statistics prove...
whatever you want them to prove. As one of my instructors quoted "there are lies, damn lies, and statistics." You've just seen statistics used to prove exactly opposite statements.
The statistics do not take into count sm
when you use ShortHand say to insert a normal, many characters, and you change a lot of them.  In my opinion, most Expanders are about the same productivity-wise, just depends on how fine-tuned you have them to your particular dictators.
This is nothing new. This has been the way they count statistics for years. nm

according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics . . .
"According to US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there were a total of 97,810 medical transcriptionists working in the US in May 2003, the latest period for which data was available."

Ah, but actual statistics and things like that
 make it so less fun for them to WHINE AND WHINE!! Great post! There are some bitter MTs out there. Whew!
The fact is and statistics will prove sm
that the majority of employers do not compensate extra for a CMT. I currently work three jobs.  NOT ONE of my jobs compensates me for my CMT, which will expire in 2007 and I will not be renewing it.  There are two sides to every coin.  Why is it that you feel you have to call people who don't agree with you a whiner. That's very immature and insulting. 
another GREAT post and with statistics!! T.Y.
He's stating statistics and facts. You're LOL-ing
for lack of any facts, stats or intelligent statements. You are showing your ignorance and lack of education and class, as well as your resentment and jealousy of those who have successful lives because they got off their butts and did something - like go to college and control the direction fo their lives instead of blaming other people for everything.

Typical loser.
Facts and statistics from the Medical Records Institute

Medical Transcriptionists



Well above 90% female with an average age of 49


Most were on-the-job trained for years prior to the development of formal transcription curricula


Majority of new entrants receiving too little education and/or training


Retiring faster than qualified transcriptionists are entering the market


The vast majority resides in the US; however, increasing quantities of entrants are from offshore including

India , Pakistan , Philippines , the Caribbean , etc.

 

**snort** statistics, schmastics, what a bunch of bull

take a report you get the gross pay for and do a file/properties/statistics
get the total character count with spaces and divide by 65 I think 6.5 gross line will put a little over 8 cents per 65 character line with spaces.
Nobody (well hardly anybody) gives raises. If the work is easy, you know your account, you might not find greener pastures.

You could take on a part-time account instead of just quitting the one you have, sometimes that switch is a wrong move, anything to break the fall.

Also, MP Count is a free software for line counting and invoicing. Its on the MedPen website.
okay neatly correlated lies. and the trailer parks are really neat little hideaways the statistics
no excuse for not researching with google or even yahoo. my neighborhood is zoned to not allow trailer parks (ever wonder why???) thus my property if more valuable than another community that is not zoned against trailer parks. Now did you ever consider why communities would even think of having a zoning commission that would ban trailer parks. Community standards might come in to play and they don't want property values diminished. GOOGLE friend. The truth will set you free.
Check at a local nursery/garden center for varieties that are bred for your area, then check online

had a similar issue with TWC and they had done some upgrades and the modem I had was no longer compatible.  The tech knew what the problem was the minute he saw the modem, only it took me about 3 months and threatening to cancel for them to get out here. 
No brainer here. Stop payment on first check before you issue 2nd check.

I have had a check bounce over a boo-boo in the check book...NOT A DEADBEAT!!

DID you check with Social Security& does your son receive a check???

Go to SSA.gov and research the payee options.  You may have to use the search engine, but your answer to this particular issue should be there.


I am disabled and while my kids were minors, I had to fill out a form each year on how I, as the payee spent each and every penny of the money they received.  I don't see how his mother can justify how she spent his money for things that you normally would pay.


That said, he is getting Social Security right?  Is your son receiving a dependent check?  Under law, if a parent is disabled and has minor children, each and every one of those children also receive a check until they turn 18 or graduate from high school, which ever comes first.


The check is a percentage of your husbands, so for 800.00, your son should receive at least 350.00.  If you have not been getting this, they would pro-rate it back to when your husbands disability started and that in itself, could solve a lot of your financial problems.  You can also find this out on their website,  HTH

no - don't check out wildblue. check out hughesnet. sm
i was on wildblue. i absolutely HATED it. i paid $400 for install and equipment and bill was $51.51 a month for smallest plan. no bills, had to be direct debit from credit card or bank. wasn't a lot faster than dial up and i frequently went over my download limit so i had to upgrade to the $80/mo plan. speed was no faster on their "fastest plan". they had a 1-yr contract and only 1-yr warranty. well 20 days (kid you not) out of warranty my tria (the eye on the dish) went out and it cost me a total of $275 for replacement and tech call (had to wait a week and a half before tech could come and then he no showed and rescheduled for the next day stating he didn't have the equipment he needed to fix me and the repair order had been in for over a week by that time. no call to say he wasn't coming either, just no showed). they TRIED to sell me the entire package all over again to get me locked into another 1-yr contract and i declined. it was best in their book so your warranty and equipment would be "new". i had to tell them for 5 months to change which credit card to debit from, never could get it right. had to tell them for 3 months when my phone number changed. i could not wait until the day my 1-yr contract was over. have heard really good things about hughesnet. i think it is a tad more a month, but supposedly a lot faster than wildblue and not near as many problems from what i have heard from others. wildblue was down for an entire week at one point throughout the year i was on it. always got lost signals and page cannot be found multiple, multiple times throughout the day. i used wildblue with VPN (with transtech) and could not keep a connection enough to get a decent line count as i was dropping signals too much and it did slow it way down. i finally got clinic work rather than acute care where time and speed wasn't a factor. research message boards for complaints about wildblue and hughesnet before deciding. also hughesnet i think told me a 2-yr warranty rather than only the 1-yr with wildblue.

your dictionary or autocorrect and see if it is set to capitalize the first letter in a sentence.


i think it is just that, though, an annoyance. 

Thank you! Will check them out now.
:O
My check was for over $400, but certainly does not
come close to the money I have lost since going on docqscribe.  I think corporate should provide us with the statistics they used to arrive and this amount.  The @#$#@ crooks!
Thanks, I will check that out. You would
think that would be illegal (to pay for one line count and bill for another) so they would be a little more discreet......
Check for DQS
Wonder if the discrepancy in pay on DQS is MQ wide or just certain regional offices cause I havent gotten anything yet and I dread having to contact my TC.  Does anyone know?
Why did you get a check$?
and nobody told us?

Come to India, much MT work for you.
MQ DEP check ?

Anyone heard from their MQ office what this check amount was based on and why it wasn't direct deposit like others if you are on direct deposit??

MQ DEP check
reason it wasn't DD, my opinion, is that if we cash it, we are "settling" any past underpayments. It has to do with the lawsuit. I my check yesterday, and I will deposit it probably. By my cashing it, I did not sign or agree to anything and the letter doesn't state anything about dismissing them from any further legal action. I think they sent the checks to make them look good, like they are trying to be honest and forthright about the discrepancies. A little late...
What check?
I have been with MQ for 14 years and I never got this check, is it for everyone?
check
emailed payroll and asked for a detailed printout of how this figure was derived and she said that corporate told her that it would take probably 2-3 weeks (you and I both know it's probably more like 2-3 months). we have a right to know how it was gotten and if I were you I'd do the same so that they know that we're just not a bunch of dummies who just take what they give us without an explanation that will satisfy us.
MQ check
I only glanced at the letter that came with the check but it said something about the DQS counting making mistakes and they were "sorry for any inconvenience this caused."   Not a word about there never being enough WORK to matter whether the counting was right or not.  Prior to DQS in 7 years I NEVER ran out of work.  Didn't hang around long enough to see if their promises were true that we would soon be making so much money that we couldn't spend it all. LOL
check
"legally" any company has the right to withhold payment for 30 days. I found that out by accident, as well. ... through a company also in California. I would suggest, after attempting a telephone conversation first, that you speak with a lawyer and begin litigation. You are owed what you did work for. Good luck to you.

I am in India my lovely. Come be with me. Check out. You love it. That for sure.

YOU: I am wondering if the hospital gives medications according to what is in the H&P

ANSWER: No, they don't.

YOU: if they operate on the wrong leg if the doctor dictates that.

ANSWER: No. The body part is marked ahead of time with witnesses and there is what is called a "time out" before surgery that is documented on the surgical record to assure the correct part (and patient) is being dealt with.

YOU: How many patients die from dictation and transcription mistakes?

ANSWER: I have never known of any.

YOU: Does the hospital have medication records for nurses that are handwritten?

NO: Computer generated, which lists contraindications, incompatible drugs, etc, and is checked by a pharmacist and the nurse who gives the med. There are some meds that need two RN signatures to be given.

YOU: Do surgeons check other sources before they operate?

ANSWER: See above about marking body parts and "time outs".

As an RN, I can tell you that the transcribed record plays a very small part of in-house patient care. In my opinion, accurate office notes are of more importance than the in-house record that is used mostly for billing and insurance purposes and not patient care.
Thanks -- will have to check her out.
