In any case, I think the moderator discourages correcting spelling on this board because it often evolves into nastiness.

My husband (44) woke up in the middle of the night last night with his tongue swollen and hard.  It woke him up because it started to close up his throat and he is a mouth breather and could not breath.  He immediately took a Benadryl but was afraid to go to sleep.  He did eventually go back to sleep but I was awake every 30 minutes checking to see if he was breathing.  The left side of his face was also somewhat swollen.  He could not think of anything different that he ingested or came in contact with or any different activity.  This morning his tongue is still slightly swollen but better.  This really has me worried.  You have to understand first that mh DH is somewhat of a hypochondriac and is always afraid he has something wrong with him.  This was just so strange and out of the blue that not only he is worried but so am I.

All this comes after attending wake services of a friend's husband (age 45).  She now has two boys to raise on her own.  Just makes you stop and think.

This company left an E-mail on my computer...never heard of them. They are promising everything and more, of course.

Any thoughts about them or experience with them?

Thanks

Depending on how many pages you type determines what your page rate is and everyone gets paid the same because of it. Obviously, like with any other company the more you produce, the more money you will make.  Bi-annual bonuses, again based on your production.  Starts at 40 page per day min (which is supposed to be 1000 lines) is $1.50.  I think it does to 1.80 per page somewhere around 80 pages per day.

Not sure about the benefits (health insurance).  You get paid every other week. Not a very large company, maybe 400 or less TLs. 

If you like working for a friendly, family atmosphere, check it out.

I am running into the exact same thing actually.  I won't get paid for MARCH'S work until mid May!  I am an IC and even at that I don't even submit an invoice.  The company pays me for what their client pays them for.  If you ask me, I very much prefer working for companies that pay right on time based on the exact invoice you submit. 

Talk about sarcastic ...... ! Take it easy.

You "told us" what, exactly?  All who posted previously were well aware that this could happen again.  The point was that it was the first time Lisa had worked with this physician.  Giving them the benefit of the doubt was the appropriate thing to do.

Regarding the meeting, no, I do not believe you should be paid for the meeting.  Why?  Because the meeting should have taken place at the very beginning when you decided to accept them as a client.  A contract should have been prepared and signed at that time.  Since, as far as I am aware, that was not done originally, then it should be done at this meeting.  If it were done at the beginning, you would not charge for the meeting because you would be in the process of trying to negotiate a contract with them (i.e., consultation).

I do agree that you should not listen through and record all patient names before transcribing.  From this point on, you need to make it clear that you will need to be paid for everything you transcribe (per your new contract you sign during your meeting), which should have been explained very clearly after the first time this happened.
