forgot my expander was not on...should be nobody (haha) nm

hahaha, check out my expander for jobs, haha!
Jobst ...what a dope!
I'm left handed, guess that makes me dyslectic, so I used to type "patient was raped and prepp
also....wayyyyy back in the late 60's and early 70's when I actually worked in a doctor's office or hospital, if patient's name was Norman, 75% of the time I typed Normal.  What is really funny....my father's name was Norman Hassell...can you imagine anyone being a "normal hassell"?  Even funnier still, my mother named me Joy....so guess you can say I'm a "happy hassell"!! and a lefty at the same time; people tend to steer clear of me!!!  Have a good day.  Big huge storm moving across our little island right now; got to shut down and unplug everything.  
you need to be upfront and NOW. nm
If not w/your mom, at least w/him. Be very direct, no innuendos. Tell him if he doesn't stop, totally and immediately, you will never come over again and you will tell your mom why. Do not make that an idle threat. Your mom can visit you elsewhere.

People will only take advantage of you (assuming you are an adult) if you let them. period.
I am being upfront. Sm
I'm being up front about what I will be charging, but I see no reason why I have to go indepth and tell them every little thing.  I'm really getting sick and tired of these cheap skate doctors' offices,and I'm also getting a ticked BIG TIME of the MTs, like YOU, who defend them and their business practices, too!  As if your clients wouldn't dump you in a New York minute if they could save a couple of cents.  You better wake up and smell the coffee honey!  I've tried playing Ms. Honest and Ms. Nice Guy for a LONG time.  Where did it get me? 
You need to be upfront with them. What you suggest isn't right.
 
You are being honest and upfront and you have got to do what you have to !! nm

Being upfront and honest with MTs

I started with a company a few months ago and loved it.  Then, I began getting more and more ESLs, which is fine because I know it's part of the job.  NOW, that is all I'm getting.  When I ask about this, I'm told "We have no control of how the hospital sends over the files." 


Today they said they assigned Dr. X to various transcriptionists because the main MT for Dr. X is out sick. ???  How can this be done if they have no control of who gets what file? I knew they were not being honest with me from the beginning because I worked at a hospital and know how files are sent over, assigning files, etc. 


Just when I thought I found a place I could stay with - and they wonder why morale is down!  - Can't wait to get out of this business! SAT (sick and tired)


I ask for partial payment upfront if they were

Don't like the part where doc's office tells you not to tell her. They should be upfront and
letting her know they approached you and not the other way... I would not trust them... they could drop you just as quickly down the line and she might not hire you back.....
Apology Again

I'm sorry amdahwd you did stick up for me.  I guess I misread another post that sounded as if they were saying just shut up and take the abuse  - -  LOL!!!  Like I said I have been back to work for 7 days now and have not slept real well since, so I am a little cranky. 


Regarding firing this person, every time I bring it up they say that they cannot let her go because she is FMLA, that she is protected!  It is ridiculous.  She has only worked 7 out of the past 18 work days this month.  This is the normal pattern for her.  I only have two other fulltime transcriptionists besides myself, and again I am the supervisor and have other duties besides transcribing.  We transcribe for 42 therapists and physicians.  We are very, very busy.  I used to push and put out 1800 to 2200 lines a night.  I am no longer going to kill myself for this company. 


I asked to get someone hired before I went out on surgical leave to get them trained, etc. , before I left.  Did that happen no!  They said that I had all positions available filled (even though one is never here).  So, with this person calling off all the time when I was gone, and one of my other transcriptionists taking a very hard earned vacation, we are in a mess.  The administration around here just does not get it.  They are always wondering why we are behind.  I was asked once by the CEO, "Well, all you do is type right?".  Needless to say, I am burnt out and just needed to vent.  I figured MTStars was the place to vent, as I was thinking some of you may have been, or are, in a position such as mine. 


Sorry for sounding so #@%$!


Apology

Sorry to sound so snotty in my last post, but I did not sleep well last night due to my foot throbbing all night long.  I just wanted to add one more thing.  I currently have insurance, which I have worked for.  The issue is, if I go ahead and just work 4 hours a night for the next month until this foot feels better, my HR person states then there will be an issue with the insurance! 


This FMLA person has left me in such a bind with our workload that it is not funny.  She was transferred from data entry because they could not keep up with her calling off.  So, the plan was to put her in transcription so she could take work home to do if she had to be home.  This has never occurred. 


Anyway, it's my problem - - whatever.  Back to soaking my foot!


Apology for angry MTs
Please speak for yourself! On reading the posts - no one called anyone a liar. We just asked for information or proof. There is abundant false information out there. I worked as an IC for a company who had "hired MQ" to take over the hospital jobs but the quality of work they got was so poor, they went back to their own MTs and FIRED MQ. I am not FOR or AGAINST MQ. I simply work there now and need facts. If the DQmanage has that ability, then new hires should be able to ask, "just exactly will I be paid for up-front" instead of taking the job and then finding out half of their work is not paid for. I have no fangs and I did not tear anyone up.
Apology for angy MTs
I'm sorry also. Our profession is so full of BS and lies, it is almost impossible to get "the truth" about anything. :)
Apology accepted!
x
Yeah, you will get an apology
the minute you brush, floss and rinse with listerine, go clean out your ears too. I see a lot of wax.
apology accepted!
No hard feelings - ok ? Thanks again.....


apology accepted
Thank you.
Apology accepted, but
if you truly do not want to offend someone, then do not insinuate, suggest at, or call them names of any kind. My post in no way insinuated that anyone of my age should not or would not post on MySpace...I just said I didn't and answered the OP's age question. I did not deserve to be called ANYthing for doing that...and yes, it offended me, but your apology is accepted. thank you.
Apology accepted, but...sm

Again, please, I don't want it to sound like I give a hoot if her parents are divorced or not, that's not my issue.


I was simply asking for opinions mostly regarding teens working and paying for their expenses themselves, like gas, shopping, etc. 


Let me state my point clearly...Do your teens work? If so, how old were they when they started? Do you feel that teens working interferes with their school and if so, how? These are the things I'm wondering about, NOT divorced parents, sheesh!


apology.... yes by adminitrator

i offered to send the administrator anything they need in one of the comments.  i have proof of my innocence.  geez......... doris latta stated in one of the documents she sent to the labor board that she did not have proof or copys of her pay history.  hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  lol


well i have all proof of payments and i do not use checks.


 


I got your apology and it is absolute accepted!
Thanks!
Moderator and everybody else, my apology was DELETED. sm
I had wrote an apology for coming across so nasty earlier and I am sure that the gals that were involved in this post read it before somebody deleted it and decided to give me a warning. 
Moderator, can I ask why my first apology was deleted?nm
We all saw it and all it said was sorry for coming across so nasty.
Boss Yelled at me - no apology
I worked for a lunatic like that once.  File a complaint with EEOC for her "creating a hostile work environment".  This may change her tune to a sweeter one.
I hope "sm" got my apology about the nickel.
nm
Apology for the typos and grammar. P.S. There is no "cure" but ways of coping. (sm)

However, please understand that requires diligence in working within yourself and many cannot or will not and therefore continue in their addiction.  You need to consult medical data and psychology before claiming there is a cure, because I do believe if you have one there are many people who would give their left arm to know it.


Boss sent me a nasty email, I replied and proved she was wrong, and yet no apology. sm

This is not the first time -- she's the first to blast you if she thinks you didn't make your line count, work when you should, etc., but if she makes a mistake, she NEVER says "I'm sorry," or "I was wrong" ... nada!  Most of the time, I just blow it off.  The pay is great, the accounts good, and sufficient work, but other times, I wonder if it is worth it.  I suppose in today's job market, I should just be glad to be employed ... maybe I'm just greedy in also wanting to be treated with professionalism, respect, and courtesy. 


Not sure if I even have a point -- guess I just needed to vent a bit.  Thanks for "listening."   


Charter down here so many times and I called and complained so much, got apology card this week.
:P
POLL: Productivity gain using your expander and what expander you use.
Guess I need to make it work harder.
The shortcuts expander works with the Bayscribe expander as well.
All at the same time.
haha
This is a joke, right?  You endangered your 16--year-old by moving her in with a man, a crazy man at that?  Are you serious?  You obviously need some mental help for child endangerment. 
Haha!

Haha!
Sorry, missed the last part of your post. Just cut her off and stop sending work. When she asks, tell her you didn't think she was interested anymore.
Right?! haha...
Maybe she should just go test if she thinks it is so easy. I bet she would get a rude awakening then.
Haha...well said!
This is only the beginning, not only for MTs...for professionals everywhere.

The other poster had a point though about our elected officials lining their pockets with the money that is being made. Go vote too! Vote for candidates who want jobs to come back to the US and not just ones who say they do, but ones who actually show it. A petition will only go so far. If you want to see change, you have to look even higher.

As far as choosing a different doctor, it is possible even with a limited plan and should be done by all of us.

Good job though...glad someone finally did it. :O)
man, where did the "was" come from haha - sorry! (NM)
xx
Haha! the joke is on me.
I reread my post right after hitting enter and saw I spelled "their" instead of there! It must be getting to me tonight! Sorry!
If I would read, I would know! Haha

I need to have something to strap my butt in on those days where I get too distracted. :)
