Well, I think you have too much negative emotion against this woman. 

First of all, you are free to feel any way you want to about anyone.

Secondly, how do you know what has gone down in Aruba?  Natalee's parents have been down there for several weeks.  Have you ever even been to the island? 

Thirdly, chances are the Aruban legal authorities would have let those guys go even if there was evidence.  Not every place has American-style legal proceedings.  Besides, chances are the Aruban authorities know these kids or even related to them in some way.  It is a very small place.

Fourthly, I would be mad as hell if my child disappeared off the face of the earth and I would not rest nor would I let anyone else rest, until I had some answers.

My husband is the most HANDSOME man in the world. Lucky me!

 Lord for sending this most luscious, fantastic, handsome, sweet, caring, sincere, funny, adoring, loving, lovable, too good to be true, funny, helpful, soulful, considerate, laughing, jovial, sensitive, sexy, can fix anything around the house, studious, big money maker and excellent lover of a man my way!!! Whoo-hoo!

Finally, I had to stop him in his tracks....I told him I emphatically disagree.  There is not a shortage of US MTs.  The problem is that you or any other Internationally based company is not willing to pay the US MTs what they are worth.  You want cheap labor, and you won't get that in the US.  Our MTs here in the USA produce such a high quality patient record and you have to be willing to compensate for that.  If you are interested in USA contracts but want to use cheap labor with no concern for quality, than I am not the person for this position.

I am so furious right now as I mull over the conversation......am I just blind or is there really a shortage here in the US of quality-driven MTs.

I am an MT myself as well as QA Specialist and I just do not agree with this mentality.  I think they use this excuse to justify their wanting to offshore.  I see through the smoke screen; however, I guess I just need to hear it from my fellow MTs. 

What are your thoughts on this issue of not enough trained and experienced MTs here in the USA?  Personally, I don't agree. 

This was an executive-type position with an awesome benefit package and salary; however, I turned down any opportunities with this company.  I will not encourage or support giving our MT jobs to the Philippines, India or anywhere but the USA.

this is a very important issue that affects us all and I for one wanted to hear AHDI's response. 

But I digress --- what would you like to talk about --> Rainbows, butterflies, and sunshine?  Should all have a metaphorical group hug and not care about anything?

Sorry, but YOU give it a rest.  I get so tired of those warm and fuzzy people who never want to talk about anything negative.  Tell a person to "give it a rest" and tack a smiley face on the end and that makes is okay! 

Ignoring all the issues hurting medical transcription and our paychecks won't make them go away.

I'll look into these computer glasses you speak of.  Wearing glasses rather than contacts really did help.. I don't know how or why, but it did.  Maybe the combination of antiglare screen and antiglare lenses? 

My monitor's screen is supposed to be antiglare, but I still am thinking one of the antiglare hook-ons might be helpful.  Only problem with that is I have an 'old fashioned' monitors (the kind that are huge and weigh a ton) and not one of the flat screens so not sure if I'll find one to fit. 

phone not my clock to ring. I get about 5 hours every night, have for years.

I can't take much more of this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My job makes me work an 8 hour shift straight.  My hands are so sore and tired. 

I hate my life right now. 

Perhaps the OP is someone new to this rotten bunch called MedQuist and maybe new to this racket in general. Innocence is so cute in a newbie!

Take it from some one who worked on the inside. you think you MT's are treated like xxxx? you have no Idea what an actual employee has to go through. specially in a certain office. Now I can't talk to badly about MQ as a coporation unless you count INTENTIONAL FRAUD bad but hey it is always the "right thing" to do when you come clean after you have been caught right? Considering they went through great lengths to hide their inside coruption....

Now the people that work in the office, lets just say if this is how women would run the world boy am i happy that men are in charge. These ladies are vindictive, mean, ugly, and unholy. They take advantage people over left and right with no regards to ethics and morals. trust me i would know. and all of you who are treated kindly by this office must do either a lot of xxx kissing or be on their good side. I have seen some xxxx in my day that would disgust most of you. So those who are defenders of Medquist are completely in the dark about what they are talking about. Maybe the coporation as a whole has matured some but the office in SO. Cal. and you know where i am talking about sucks. beyound sucks makes me want to throw up! 

can i get an AMEN? (sorry if my spelling sucks)

In my opinion, its always what they want to hire you to do and its always the hardest temp job to take - receptionists are magically expected to know "everything" about a company and every employee that works there.  If companies had any sense they'd make a more seasoned employee (that actually KNOWS some answers) take the receptionist job and let the temp file or make copies.  But the seasoned employees refuse to do reception work - because everyone knows it sucks!  Then they act like they're doing you the ultimate favor if they drag themselves to the reception desk long enough to let you pee twice a day - and sneer at you because you don't KNOW Mr. Jones always plays golf on Thursdays at 2, and Mr. Smith always covers for him...how the heck WOULD you know that unless you'd worked there more than 5 minutes!  Oh, and by the time you've learnt enough mini-facts like these to actually make you good at that job, the assignment is over - and none of these vitally important tidbits will mean a thing at the next temp job.

I finally had to tell every temp agency I applied at that I refuse reception work - it was all I was ever offered, and I got really sick of being treated like I was stupid because I didn't know every idiosyncrasy of a company the second I strolled in the door.  Temps already get treated like second-class citizens at most companies, which is bad enough on your self esteem, but to be chided all day because you "should have" known the unknowable and having to beg to be let to have a pee break is just too demeaning!
