YOWZA!
OMG - You mean to say that you GET BACK over 150K?
YOWZA!!!
The company I type for just hired a new workflow coordinator. Every email she sends has at least 2 typos, punctuation is never right, she uses your instead of you're and vice versa, and she left a message on my machine calling the company by the wrong name!
I'm not the type to tattle, but what if she calls a client and does that?? Embarrassing!! I am wondering if I should say something or just wait to see if someone else does. I don't want to overstep my boundaries, and I really love the company, but give me a break! It's a company that relies on typing accuracy!! Any suggestions?
YOU DO 600 LPH?...yowza!!! nm

YOWZA mtmomof2
Hello! Since I have been reading the posts on this website, I have never seen a question about workflow coordinator. Here's my experience. I am a 42-year "veteran" MT at age 60 so to say I've been around the block, honey I've burned that bicycle many times around!
When MTSOs came into the picture, I was hired by the #1 transcription service at that time, first as an MT and then promoted within 6 months to supervisor/QA. Not only did I do workflow management but also maintained hourly checks of our four servers to make sure reports were being processed correctly, reconciliation of reports (sometimes 31 pages worth) to ensure that every report had, indeed, been processed correctly, answered multiple telephone calls, etc. in the course of each 8-hour shift and rotated on our "on call" list. I worked a typical 40-hour work week, except when on-call and then sometimes 60+ hours. I had a staff of 6-8 MTs on my shift. Not only did I keep all report types in their respective TAT as specified in our contract, but I even had a little time to transcribe which kept me fresh for the QA part of the job. I'm not suggesting that I never had a typo in any report but always spellchecked each and every document, even memos to staff, but spellcheck doesn't always highlight every error as you may know.
If it were me walking in your shoes, I would be reporting this person to her supervisor as a FYI/"concerned person". Workflow is not always easy, especially if there are staffing issues, but believe me if a person has the "mindset" and loves it as I have, it's a very rewarding experience.
I hope you have and will continue to find being an MT as rewarding as I have. 
Yowza! Them's fightin' words! :D :D nm

ur a nut - they use that term on SNL and....nm
programs for adults.........been watching SNL since 1975!!!! You do the math.
Gaydar....gaydar...gaydar!! It's all around us today!!! Key West to San Francisco.....and we all live somewhere in between. *rofl* Just because YOU think it's a juvenile term....doesn't mean we are all sheep and think like YOU do. 
I WASN'T GUESSING. I HEARD WHAT I HEARD VERY CLEARLY.
I don't even agree with what QA said, but they are QA. Question them, and your out the door.
Here's a term for you to proofread:
Look that one up!
LOL
It will be long-term, because you are SM
learning to change a whole lifetime of the way you look at situations, but it should be very helpful for you. Agree, sometimes rehashing the old stuff (if you have accepted that it was what it was and it's not still happening) can be nonproductive in a way and very traumatic. I have done all types of therapy except analysis (and analysis is an even longer process) and the cognitive therapy was the most helpful for me. Good luck.
I see what you mean. I think the term "contract"
is what is being used wrong and I didn't clarify it well either in my post.
I doubt the OP signed a contract for the amount of pay. She probably signed a contract discussing engagement, duties, legal status, hours devoted to service, etc. In the actual MT contract, under Fee For Services, it lists that "For services rendered under this Agreement, Employee shall be entitled to payment as set forth on Exhibit A. The Company may modify such pay rate from time to time."
As well, every so-called "contract" I have ever had with MQ made the declaration that "...is a voluntary program that I may withdraw from at any time...I also understand that MQ may change or discontinue this at any time...".
The attorneys for MQ are not going to let them put out a contract that binds them to never changing your pay rate.

knowledge of med term a plus
knowledge of medical terminology is such a plus in the medical field. try applying to a hospital as a unit clerk or a receptionist in a doc office. it is good for the mind to get out there and see people again. maybe you will realize how much you have missed.
latin term
Thanks all. I'll defer to my higher-ups and see what they want. At least now I can validate it. S
medical term
Does anyone know what it is called "to feel with the hand"? Is there a medical term for that phrase? Thanks!

Is carcinoma in situ hyphenated? Ex. carcinoma-in-situ or carcinoma in-situ. Any and all questions greatly appreciated.
Gal Friday was a term used in the 1950s
to describe a female office assistant who can perform a lot of tasks. It's a takeoff on Friday from Robinson Crusoe, and it's also a popular name for secretarial service businesses.
This is where the term "accident" comes into play - sm
I have looked it up for Dork Lady to save her some neuron-firing energy... she needs all the help she can get...
"ACCIDENT": An unexpected and undesirable event, especially one resulting in damage or harm: car accidents on icy roads.
An unforeseen incident.
Lack of intention.
Do you comprehend now Dork Lady? Reality - get a grip on it... save yourself, really...
Need help with ortho term for PIP fracture
I'm working on an ortho eval for a patient with a PIP fracture. Doctor has dictated an unfamiliar term (there's always that ONE WORD) for me. He dictates, "X-ray examination today shows impaction at the base of the middle phalanx with approximately 70% joint surface involvement." Here's the word I don't know (spelled phonetically--Sorry": "A syphiant(??) portion of the joint surface is translated dorsally."
If someone could point me in the right direction for finding this word, I would really appreciate it!
Ortho term for PIP fracture
I see "significant." :)

OK thank you to the responders, I am going with a hot cup of coffee and extra sweetener .... knowing I am NOT ALONE helps, too! Thanks a bunch -- now down the hatch and onto SOME NEW THOUGHTS ..... !
Long-term BTS employee
I have worked for BTS for 2 years and enjoy it! It is difficult waiting for that first check, but you are being paid for the previous pay period, not the one you have just finished.
Overall, I think they are very considerate towards work load, time off, and I enjoy the people I work with on my accounts. People are always complaining on here about not having work, but we never seem to have a shortage.
I don't know about renting short term,
I think you could rent it and then return it, but you would have to ask. A friend of my rented-to-buy a Dell PC from them and learned a lesson. She paid approx. 200 every two weeks for almost a year. You will pay 3-4 times what the product is actually worth.
There are no long-term contracts
I've rented from them several times, both paying off items and giving some items back when I got something to replace it. You can expect to pay two to three times the price (if not more) for an item then if you just went and bought the item outright which to many sounds outrageous, but some of us don't have the money to fork over for more expensive items. I had a good experience with them each time I rented from them whether I kept something for the whole time or I turned the item back in.
antibiotics long term
The dr. states the patient has been on chronic antibiotics ???pressure??? to ensure that the hip does not become infected. I know there is a term for this, but it is not coming to me. Help
Thanks!
Yuppers. Except I wouldn't use the term
"instructed"... more like strongly encouraged?
ACTUALLY....yes both are in books but shotty is the term used when
referring to lymph nodes. It means that they are small, hard, and round. The term came from the comparison between the nodes and BB's, as in little lead thingies shot out of a BB gun.
Shoddy means poorly made. Like if you bought a chair and sat on it and it broke the first day. Shoddy.
Okay then........
prostate biopsy term
I had to flag it and blank it, but if I ever find out what the word was, I'll share. Thank you all very much for trying to help me figure it out!

If you have a short-term disability
policy (from your company or if you happen to have one on yourself) you should be covered. If not, you are probably out of luck as far as disability goes.
I'm not sure what type of disability you're asking about. If you mean long-term disability you'd have to have a policy in place for that also and I think it kicks in 6 months after your disability date.
If you meant Soc Security disability, I can safely say you wouldn't be covered. You have to be permanently disabled for that.
Disagree. ESL is just what it is. Bigotry term

How can you justify excluding the term?
If it was dictated, it stays. Period. These are legal documents as well as medical documents - if the doctor dictated the term he/she WANTS it in the report.
This is different from correcting (deleting/changing etc.) and obvious mistake. This is the MT arbitrarily deciding what to edit. *Unless* you have specific authorization for this type of (reckless in my opinion) editing) type as dictated. IMHO of course.

I had that term 'sitter' just last week sm

I've kept Googling this term, but....sm
I can't relate just how it would affect opening your own small transcription service. But I'm way behind the times, and maybe someone with current info can be of help. I'm surprised your post has not yet been answered.
No, no, "bezoar" is a medical term....sm
It means a mass of undigested food in the stomach! It's in English....
I think this happens a lot. Usually, the folks
Some of you people are basketcases.
I wonder why there are so many folks
compose an email that is not riddled with misspelled and misused words? I get emails everyday from a workflow coordinator who leaves the letters 'ed' or 'd' off of almost every word that should have it...Example: "The work has -increse- in the last few days." -incomplete sentences, missisng commas, etc.
It's ridiculous. I have managers who send out poorly composed emails as well. Unbelievable!
You might want to try these folks
I don't know if you've found anything yet, but you might want to try a company called Transcription Matchmaker. They found me a job a year ago when all I had was dial up. They find out what your requirements/specialties are and then match you with a company that best fits you. I've now been with the same company they found for me 10 months ago and I am happy with my job. I hope they can help you.
So now we know, folks, why so many MTs - sm
never get so much as a response when they apply for the literally THOUSANDS of MT jobs we see online every single day.
YouTube is not only a fun and entertaining website, it is also proving to be an amazingly POWERFUL TOOL, and I think that power has only just begun to be tapped.
Now there is one way to get the word out about MT. If you have the capabilities to make YouTube video (or your kids do), the word about fraud, ID theft, & American job loss can be spread.
IC folks
Hey there all you Indepedent contractor folks. Just want to take a quick poll and see if you are happy being independent. I am thinking of the making the jump over from employee to IC. Just want to see and get a quick glance and see if you are happy or not so happy with being IC.
Welcome! I like seeing new folks here
it's great to get some fresh perspectives or see how MTs in the business are doing.
You can usually purchase short-term disability from
your employer if they offer long-term disability. When it is offered, you usually choose the reimbursement rate, typically up to 70% of your pay.
Savings. LOL That's the way you'll make up the difference. Sadly, disability insurance (LT or ST) has never covered 100% of missing pay.
I'm an IC for a long-term client; need advice pls SM
They have implemented a new ftp server that I cannot access through my work computer (Windows 98); however, I juggled around with newer operating systems (Windows 2000 and XP) and can access the ftp server. We are supposed to send completed files to this ftp server (which is a great idea and one we should have been doing all along).
My problem - I have been in nearly weekly contact with this MTSO about not being able to access the ftp site with my work computer. They told me to disable my firewall (which I am not about to do) and frankly the reason they haven't corrected my situation is because I am the only MT who is having this access problem (I am not - I talk to a couple other MTs with this MTSO and they are having the same exact problem). My Internet Explorer is the most current version (I have a cable modem) so that wasn't the problem either (another of their suggestions).
Today I get an e-mail from the office manager of the MTSO. They're going to start docking my paycheck (did I mention I am an IC?) if I don't start using this ftp site. What do I do? I am not making THAT much money that I can go out and spend $500 for a new work computer just to access this ftp. It really fries me that I have e-mailed, phoned, etc. and nothing is happening...it's just "my fault." So any suggestions? Great way to start the weekend, I tell ya!
does anyone know anything about long-term disability insurance?(sm)
How long is considered "long term"? If you get some sort of disability that takes you out of the work force for years, does long-term disability cover that? TIA
pocking term means the indented
scars you see on someone's face that had back acne. My derm uses that term a lot...he tends to relate it to the scars left from chicken pox, so maybe that is where he gets it..pox/picking.

I love TransHealth. There are many, many long term MTs...sm
with the company who are also very happy. Benefits are great. Good platform. It's acute care work, with ESLs, but that's the name of the game today.

Keep ants from coming back by washing the area they were invading with ammonia to kill the scent they leave as a trail.
White flour (the kind you bake with) put over an ant hill (thick coat)or on the floor where they are invading, etc. will make the ants move to another place, but does not kill them, but is fast for getting rid of a big colony in your back yard.
Green Light is a commercial product that will kill the ants like Tarro does, but is not as fast as making them move somewhere else.
