In Reply to: BOS gives QA something to do - Fingers
of it that way. But sure seems like there is more QA than there use to be. That could be because there are so many new MTs (not knocking the newbies) that the companies are hiring for less money than they deserve so they can get cheap labor. That and the biggest problem, OUTSOURCING!

That's too bad! I thought he was great! nm
.
I thought this was a great post!
Maybe in the wrong spot, but a good post. What a mess, huh? I have to ask - did they charge/bill you for that? I wouldn't be paying!
That is a great story. I thought you were going to say it was a snake. sm
I used to live in a big old farm house and snakes would get in occasionally. Also an owl came in through the old heater pipe. I miss the country but it would give you a little high blood pressure once in a while.
I used to let mine out too and thought nature was great -
Until he went missing and animal control brought him to me in a bag the next day! Who knows how long he lay in the road after he was hit by that car. It just breaks my heart thinking about it. My cats stay inside now and are very happy with their cat trees and toys.
Great idea...I've often thought of doing some...
thing similar. After all, AAMT was started by individuals with an idea. Unfortunately the original, most likely that *good* idea has been long lost.
So, form a new organization. Set up testing. Issue a credential. Actually represent the American MT. What a concept. 
I just finished training, which I thought was GREAT! sm
The platform is EXText, although I think they have others. I like the way they seem better organized than other companies I've tried. I'll let you know about the 2-week honeymoon period whether the "marriage" will last or not!
Oh Yeah, me too! I love the Queen! I hadn't thought of her, but she'd be great. nm

Your job description probably
has a statement similar to AND OTHER DUTIES AS ASSIGNED . I would suggest that you have them lighten up your transcription requirements, however, for the period of time you are working on the transition process. If you are missing out on incentive while doing this other work, then definitely, I would request my average pay for this period of time. It would not be fair for you to in effect take a pay cut to help them out in this process. Otherwise with pay being equal, I would welcome with open arms a temporary break from transcription, know what I mean? Good luck to you.
In your job description, there is probably
and "other duties as needed." So, that would cover the Excel grid. In the Meditech system, I used to have to associate charges to the report. If the charges were not there, then I had to put them in myself, go back to the report, and then associate. This was onsite hourly job.
So, I guess the answer to your question is no, you probably are not just supposed to do transcription. The doctor obviously needs you to do the billing grid or they wouldn't have asked in the first place.
Good luck... It is all part of the business.
Here is the IRS description...
that I explained above  :
To find the business percentage, compare the size of the part of your home that you use for business to your whole house. Use the resulting percentage to figure the business part of the expenses for operating your entire home.
You can use any reasonable method to determine the business percentage. The following are two commonly used methods for figuring the percentage.
Divide the area (length multiplied by the width) used for business by the total area of your home.
If the rooms in your home are all about the same size, you can divide the number of rooms used for business by the total number of rooms in your home.
Example 1.
Your office is 240 square feet (12 feet × 20 feet).
Your home is 1,200 square feet.
Your office is 20% (240 ÷ 1,200) of the total area of your home.
Your business percentage is 20%.
Example 2.
You use one room in your home for business.
Your home has 10 rooms, all about equal size.
Your office is 10% (1 ÷ 10) of the total area of your home.
Your business percentage is 10%.
Use lines 1–7 of Form 8829, or lines 1–3 on the Worksheet To Figure the Deduction for Business Use of Your Home (near the end of this publication) to figure your business percentage.
Good description, I'm sure!
It was about 6 years ago in an outdoor arena. My daughter was probably 14 and son was 19. What stories they came back with!!
...the drunk that fell on their dad, the rockin' 40-somethings, the great music... and the aroma LOL.
Most of all they loved the the music. My daughter had just started making the circuit of the current music concerts. The Who was quite a different experience for her. No crowd surfing LOL
They better get that description straight
Im sure that they made a mistake but that really is not helping on our self esteem. Maybe we could write our representatives to rectify the problem?
Very accurate description...
Your post is exactly right! Great post! (A physician friend made the same comparison--that he only needed to know one specialty while the MT must be familiar with all--great post!)
Help me decipher this pay description.
Chronial Transcriptions: MT daily: Line rates based on 55 black character line, 0.08-0.09 DOE and test results. Let me venture a guess. A 55-black character line would mean 55 strokes, spaces not counted? DOE? What's that? I thought that was the (US) Department of Energy.
That's not a standard description, so
you can only be sure by asking the person who used it.
I believe your description is correct (sm)
I have been doing SR (speech recognition) for a couple of years now. You may find that some dictators are very close to what shows up on the screen and others way off. I find that speeding up the voice and keeping my cursor right where the voice is (usually Ctrl right arrow, but yours may be different) helps me to make corrections quickly. If they talk real slow, look ahead a little and make obvious corrections before you get there. For repeated mistakes that the VR doesn't correct, make your own correction expansions to add on to the end of a word to change it to what you want so you don't have to change the whole thing. These are things I have picked up on the boards and have helped a lot.
I noticed at first that I could sit for longer periods of time than with transcribing because it went faster. You get into a rhythm pretty quickly and move fast, but you need to because VR is usually paid at a lower rate even though the same level of expertise is required (grrr). The trick is not getting too bored with it, which the looking ahead as they talk helps me with.
Hope this is helpful.
Are you kidding? If this is not the description of accident, I don't know what is
According to your description of accident, this is it! What could possibly be foreseen about this? Ther is no way that this is the fault of the parents? While you certainly can bring a 2-year-old to the hospital, how feasible is it if the labor is anything more than 2 hours? DUH! You just CANNOT bring a 2-year-old to the hospital while having another baby. Obviously, the parents had great confidence in their friends ability to watch their child.
The person significantly at fault is the driver. So much so, in fact, that it is illegal to hit somebody and run!! Please don't give any excuses for the driver. I had a bird fly into the windshield of my car and it literally shook the car (a minivan), so don't tell me that someone would not feel more than a "board in the road" when running over a 2-year-old! Give me a break!
Google INFJ and you will get a description. nm

FDP_2006 sent me an E-mail with description:
Anyone know what this is? It has an attachment so I am not going to open it unless I am positive it isn't a link to a madman's web page.
Thanks!
Well, maybe vertically was the wrong description
how about round and round, as opposed to side to side??
Description of any pus (no matter where it is coming from)
Drivel is a perfect description!
And, oh my,my, how very ''narrow minded'' of U.S. MTs to object to having their jobs given away and their wages stagnate! Your post is right on!
Does that new job description pass some of your duties to others so
you can do the transcription? If not, I guess I'd have to prove to them it can't be done in the same amount of time and look for another job while I'm doing that. After all, you'll still have to look for another job to supplement the lost income at home, right? If they're not passing some of your duties on to others, their request is out of line and completely sets you up for failure. Who needs that kind of pressure in their life?
saw it on monster-- "a too good to be true" job description-
for info and see what kind of a response I get. Don't want to send my resume unless it seems legit. I have 2 jobs now, just fishing for something better.
Cherrypicking - such a cute description for theft.

Get a Google Toolbar, description and link enclosed
I have a Google search toolbar at the top of my browser. It's a small line like the address bar but it says Google beside it and I just type in my searches there instead of going to Google first, etc. I've found it very easy to use. Of course, as with anything there are extra parts to the program, I just added the basic tool bar and went to options and only kept the parts of it that I wanted on my toolbar. It makes searching a whole lot easier, all I need to do is bring up the internet and my search is at the top.

Good luck rebuilding your ShortHand. I back mine up to a little portable drive on a keychain, I'd be lost without my ShortHand.

Saw him on CMT show with John Fogarty. Great, great singer with a neat personality and drop dead
gorgeous without seeming to know it.
Great post. I swear by both Advantage and Frontline Plus-- both work great! - sm
I don't know about "natural" approaches for the house. I have always used flea bombs in the past before the miracle of Advantage and Frontline changed my life. Have not had a flea problem at all since I began using those products about 10 years ago, dose all the dogs religiously once a month with the Frontline Plus except in Dec.-Feb. to save a few bucks and because the ground is generally frozen by then and no fleas are scurring about. -- Hope you get flea free soon.
Thanks to all. Got some great feedback and ecouragement. This board is great.
My rant passed, ate a late lunch, now back to the trenches.
GREAT GREAT SHOW! I still think Ellen Pompeo
should have gotten the Emmy/Golden Globe whatever it was for the show. I like Sandra Ho, her character just needs more depth... Next week looks AWESOME!! Maybe there is still a chance for McDreamy!! First season DVD coming out with deleted scenes! Can't wait to get it & watch it!!
It is a GREAT company and great deal! I've had
Vonage about 6 months now and I love it. The only mistake I made was trying to keep my original phone # - I wouldn't recommend that. You have a temp # for a while, and the other provider can fight for the old #, etc. Go to vonage. com. They have new features all the time! There is even a new soft phone that is a phone on your screen. You don't need a real phone when working - just headset. It has 800 #s you can have very inexpensively - great voice mail. You get emails when you have new messages, etc. I only wish I had used them a year ago! Nothing but good things to say, and I complain about everything!
Sounds like he will do great then. Again, best wishes for great success!

That's great Patti. Thanks. Have a great time at the beach.

You should feel great as a transcriptionist if they think your work is that great!!!
It is not your fault they approached you. I think it would be a different storey if you were the one searching for the job to take away from a company. They obviously want to get rid of the company and if you didn't take the job they would probably ask someone else. You should enjoy the better position and not feel guilty!!
Great post -great job of wording your answer! (sm)
Original poster - I completely agree with this answer, especially the part about finding yourself and using all that you have learned intellectually and connecting that to something that you will also enjoy with your heart!! You have so many wonderful options for your future - much more than many of us.
IT - great program, great support system. nm

Thanks for all the great advice! You guys are great!

I thought so. Thanks.:)

I thought so too
Ya know, I thought so too but I think it is because his hair cut and facial makeup and eye brows are so severe..If he grew a longer beard, some side burns and longer hair, I dont think it would look that bad..However, he looks like my ex..sigh..My ex was a Latino as Dave Navarro is and has the same face..When I first saw Dave Navarro..I said to everyone, My gosh, he looks like John and they agreed..Carmen (dont know if I like her or not) and Dave sure make a good looking couple, though.
I thought it was just me! Thank God I'm

well, one would have thought it sure
would have gotten some press, for sure. But on the other hand, the story doesn't have the same 'newsworthy' features (from the press standpoint), ie, hope for a happy outcome, being a school-sponsored trip, a top student with the full scholarship waiting, the mystery of higher-ups possibly helping to hide the facts, etc etc.
Its a very very tragic thing, to have a child go missing and especially with the horrible outcome you mentioned.
If the news reported (which they can't) EVERYTHING that went on, we'd probably be afraid to wake up in the morning.
I thought of that too.
I thought about the brown recluse and I think that is why I was nervous and there are so many bites at one time. We have huge spiders here. I hope it isn't a recluse. The symptoms are similar. One scar looks pretty bad. I will watch it. Thanks for responding.:)
YES< YES, I thought it was just me!
That's what I thought...or at least that is what
the signed contract states.
Thank you for clearing that up.
Happens to me, too, but I always thought it was
when supe was pushing jobs into individual que's to improve TAT, since it is always at the end of a job that it happens -- just before another job will download to me.
Yes, it does happen. Not equipment problem, but possibly could be a connection problem -- slow connection causing this, too ????
Here is a thought..
Find MTs in your area that work at home with kids...maybe doing a kid swapping thing would help everyone. Create a MT Mommy group LOL.
I thought I won...
Thought of something else!
Do you e-mail or send in mail, or both? I have always gotten my MT jobs by e-mail.
There are so many hurdles, especially equipment requirements. It seems you have everything right on track, you just need your break!
Another thing I thought of; do you look at other MT websites with job boards? I go to other MT websites when there's nothing new at my favorite one.
Good luck, and keep us posted!
I had thought of this also
In fact, there was just a few hours ago there was a press conference on the news. The Dept of Health and Human Services was giving a briefing and said that many medical volunteers are needed, including nurses, physicians, EMTs, etc. He said on the HHS website there was a link for volunteers to register where they ask questions as to your capabilities, etc. I had wondered if MTs would be needed when I was watching this. I do not remember the specific website, but I'm sure it can be found by Googling the Dept of Health and Human Services. God Bless you for volunteering.
That's what I thought.
That's what I wanted to do, was mark it so they at least would see it, but nooooooo....they just leg it go!!! And these nationals wonder why they lose accounts!
