that is very wrong.

In Reply to: actual typing time versus hours worked-venting here - no name
I've never had to work like that before. How can they require 40 hours actual typing time? Transcription is much more than actual typing time. There's research, listening for a co-worker, even at home I get IM'd for help. What company does this to their transcriptionists?

wrong, wrong, wrong. work is being outsourced because of $. period. not because of unqualified MTs
c
I typed a report on the wrong patient as the doc keyed in the wrong info, SM
He later said the correct patient's name and I SWEAR to this day I made the changes but somehow the report when through without the correct patient and changes made. I still remember that incident.
Fantasia wrong??? Haven't seen the OP's CD, couldn't have been too wrong.

It's about morality - not censorship! Right is right and wrong is wrong!

As far as it being wrong, well who defines right and wrong? On the
other hand, what if he were doing the same thing? How would you feel? I think that should answer your question.
You SUPPOSE it was wrong! It was way wrong.

you are wrong
it is harder to prosecute someone in a murder trial w/o a body, but not impossible. It is a case that would be based on circumstantial evidence. Perfectly legal and done before.
YOU TOOK THAT UP WRONG
I have lectured her. She knows we are against it. My husband and I do not drink at all. What I was saying is she can sit here and tell me she is not drinking which she has said she does not but I know better. I know every kid drinks at collegea and no I don't like it. I know her room mate drinks and my daughter has told me. There is nothing I can do about it if she is at college 100 miles away. She clains she does not drink. She has been told she has to pay the consequences if something happens. I tell her not to drink but if she does it won't be my fault because she should know better. I can lecture her at home by not allowing it in my home. I know a few of her home friends drink and I have told her if the parents ask me if it is so I will not lie. Obviously you don't have teenagers. Also Natalie's parents could have lectured her to about drinking but obviously she did it anyway.
WRONG AGAIN
to 'study and show thyself approved...rightly dividing the word of Truth'.
Well, I don't think you are doing anything wrong ...
I've been with these companies 3-1/2 and 2-1/2 years.
Do you know which accounts at your company are large or have a lot of overtime? I would ask to be put onto a super large hospital account as a primary. Being a large hospital account and/or overtime requirements will tell you how much work is usually there.
I have been very fortunate on my accounts but I asked for large hospital accounts up front for that very reason....????
Ur wrong...
Been an MT for 10 years and with MQ for 8...so much for assuming...
please, if you think something is wrong...sm
do whatever you can to get the person help. My nephew was bipolar/scitzophrenic (s/p?) and we didn't know until it was too late. Please try to help this person...it's hard to live with the consequences if you don't. Good luck and I will be praying for you and your friend.
Wrong!
I will take it to heart if it is from the administrator. The post was addressed to her.
what's wrong with me
I'm wondering what's wrong with me too. I just did 50 exams and realized I put the date of service 8-15-04 on all of them. Fessed up when I realized. I try to work when I don't feel well and this is what happens. Darn.
No, you are wrong
They have known about this being a potential disaster since Betsy in 1963, but since it was such a monumental task, and people in, for example, Washington State or Idaho, (just an example folks) would not have wanted their tax dollars being spent to fix the levees in New Orleans, and the senators and congressmen in these other 51 states wouldn't push it, because it was not a popular thing to do.
You are wrong!
Your eyes are mistaking - She never got out of her lawn chair - it is stuck to her butt because she is so darn fat and she can barely run at all, it is more of like a wobble, wobble, wobble!
She's wrong, isn't she? You and I and everyone else
knows that. MQLover is wrong to be ugly and make assumptions.
She will never win the Nobel Peace Prize or even any type of Employee of the Year award with her abrasiveness. It's uncalled for. It really just shows her ugliness inside.
I'm a supporter of MQ; I don't agree with all they have done or will do but in general I've had a good relationship with them. It is difficult for me to hear some of the nastiness from complainers. It's one thing to state clearly and plainly what a problem is, it is another to do the name-calling, etc. Both sides are doing it now. It's sad.
The BEST plan of action for those who are upset with MQ, though, is to do what another poster suggested in an above thread --- go to the Employee Complaint Form on QNet and fill it out. Swamp them with those complaints. Have them swamped with complaints.
No changes can come about if MQ isn't directly contacted about the complaints.
I hope everyone can take a breather, relax, and allow each others opinions but be more respectful in their statements.
Have a good day, everyone.
Don't take this the wrong way, but
you're getting yourself all worked up over something you don't even know to be true. Shhhh, deep breaths. No worries. Everything will work out in the end. Even if MQ eliminates SE, what's the worst thing that could happen? So you go job hunting or switch to employee status. There are tons of IC and SE jobs out there with companies that are way better than MQ. I can relate, though. I've got three kids and a mortgage. Honestly, there are so many MT jobs out there that you can quit a job one day and start working again the next day for another. I understand that you have security and longevity with MQ, and the unknown is a scary thing. However, you need to stop worrying and imagining the worst. You're a good worker, right? Do you think they're just going to dump you with no notice? Why don't you talk to your supervisor? Ask her straight out what's going to happen. You are allowed to know how these new changes are going to affect you. In the meantime, stop catastrophizing and make yourself a nice cup of tea. It'll be all right.
Nothing wrong
with having 6 accounts or 7, 8 and so on but WHEN THERE IS NO WORK ON ANY OF THEM what do you do? Still sitting here waiting to work and NOTHING. There is something wrong with this picture.
Nothing wrong?
Boy, you don't get it do you and yet you continue to bicker. No work IS the problem and only getting from your 5th, 6th, etc. when you get the scatter report means that there are too many people on the accounts. That is the point.
Wrong again!
After the ER visit. I went to 'see Alice'. She did a better job taking care of me than you could ever do. I called you after I left her and told you 'she' made me see stars.
WRONG
Not getting paid for spaces. They just tell you that they do, but they are lying
Sorry, you are wrong.
I do have an extremely handsome husband. I do go to the spa and get pedicures. I also MT. There is nothing wrong with that. It really ticks me off when ugly people come down on me like you are. Hey ugly, where is pretty? Not anywhere around here, that is for sure.
WRONG
They are a public company and the privacy laws only apply to patient care.
Ha Ha You got me all wrong!
I, also used manual typewriters. I am 53 years old, knew how to keyboard Qwerty, and switched within the last 2 years to Dvorak.
Qwerty is not the "correct" keyboard, just the more common one. Actually, the Dvorak keyboard layout is older than Qwerty. Qwerty was developed specifically to slow down typists as there was a problem with the keys sticking together on the old manual typewriters because the typists would be able to go too fast using Dvorak keyboards. Qwerty was specifically developed to slow down typists and keep those keys from getting all clogged up. Then qwerty became the 'standard' because everyone was using it.
The world record speed typist, Barbara Blackburn uses the Dvorak keyboard. It reduces hand movement by about 10 times. All the vowels and most common consonants are on the home row. When I decided to become a medical transcriptionist, I decided to switch to Dvorak "'cause I ain't no spring chicken" and want to do all I can to make these old fingers last longer!!!
I actually am using the Dell keyboard that came with my computer because my Dvorak keyboard would not interphase with Windows XP. I have the keys memorized, and I simply changed the 'keyboard language' in my computer settings to Dvorak. It is hilarious when someone else tries to type on my keyboard using qwerty because what they type comes out jibberish!
So much for Dvorak 101 !!! Have a nice day!
so tell me what I did wrong
lol
Don't get me wrong...
I think that is a rotten thing for an employer to do, but it is the apparent policy that once an employee exhausts all available sick time and vacation time, they need to return to work before missing an entire pay period. If that makes sense. Believe me, I didn't like having to leave my newborn for that reason. I know she could have been in a different situation, but I'm just making the point that the same thing could have happened somewhere else. My experience was actually with a hospital.
I see nothing wrong with...
saying that "there are 2 different theories, one is evolution and the other is intelligent designed, generally held by religious people." Just as you can can teach ABOUT a religion, you can tell kids what the theories ARE. Kids learn about the history and beginnings and practices of religion all the time in history class. I see no harm in presenting ID in that context. As for evolution versus creation...I've got it all figured out and put to bed in my own mind, which is what I tell my kids.... Evolution IS God's creation. Very simple, very logical, and mutually respectful of both sides.
Wrong, wrong, wrong
One thing that truly stuck with me DISC for eyes --- DISK for back
Once again, don't tell anyone they are wrong...
on this issue. Most of us have conformed to the way we have been told to type it over the years. In 13+yrs of typing radiology, I have just in the last year only come across a facility that has asked me to type "disk" in reference to the spine. All others have been adamant about seeing "disc" on their reports.
Noone can "win" this argument...it's a matter of choice.
MOST DEFINITELY WRONG!! same
I had the same experience with Sandy, SouthScribe, Georgia. I helped him out on a project until he got someone else. He lied about sending out my check too (even gave the check # and amount he supposedly sent out to me when I called about it!). He never paid me, even though I reported him to the BBB. I would suggest to you to report too; even if you don't get your check (I hope you do), it is on record, and the next person is not as likely to get ripped off.
I don't see anything wrong with that at all. nm

i see something wrong with it!
Why should she get holiday pay for christmas when she doesn't celebrate the holiday? that would be like catholic ppl expecting a day off on jewish holidays. you cant have it both ways, if you boycott the holiday, then you can't expect to reep the benefits from it too. thats ridiculous.
There is NOTHING wrong with
your feelings or reaction! I really don't know how I would react to this situation, so I certainly wouldn't tell you what to do or how to behave. Just know that your feelings are only natural and human, and you have done nothing wrong. I hope you get the love and support you deserve now and in the future, and I wish you the very, very best. Hang in there!! 
Wrong once again.
I had a perfectly normal childhood, no one molested me or mentioned the word homosexual to me - I just knew at age 5 that I was attracted to men. Sorry if this seems so hard to accept but it is reality. I had no idea about homosexuality whatsoever - just knew even at 5 that I had feelings for my own sex. But don't take it from me, after all I AM the gay one who has the experience. Better to listen to all these kind folks who aren't but think they know everything there is to know about being gay. There is no reasoning with people like you so I gave up many, many years ago. Have a great day!
Wrong!
I came out of MT school (community college) ready to work - opened up my own business and have been busy, busy, busy and making $$$, $$$, $$$ ever since. It depends on one's background and their education, both in and out of MT, so don't say no one can do this fresh out of school. MT's not brain surgery, you know.
I know it may be wrong.....
but I still have a want to contact the docs. It is MY business to keep my family under a roof and to be able to survive with food and things they need. She took that from me, even though she could have gone about it in a different way. I wonder if the doctors know how many families and lives are affected by their anger just from a late document? This person just chose to run her business ruthlessly, I know she has a gainfully employed husband and here we all struggle for the small amount of money we earn to support our families. As MT's we all work so hard for such a small piece of the pie. That lady who contacted the doctor, he actually was impressed that she wrote to him, it was the MTSO that he was angry with. He felt for the MT who was struggling to learn a profession and to honestly admit that as humans, we all make mistakes. He was not so happy with the MTSO who just ripped that from her. I don't know......
Well it's not wrong.
Change in work can be a good thing, even when it's not your idea (I know from experience). Now you have a better idea of what is important when you're an IC. They have taught you that a company makes decisions that are best for its interests, and that they are smart enough to make sure an account is covered before making a change. So in future you will understand that you need to be a good business partner if you want to continue the relationship. Aim to be the best, and then you probably won't be replaced. It's just business.
What am I doing wrong?
I've been transcribing for 4 years now (not a long time) and am struggling to make 900 lines a day (hospital work). It's not so much the transcribing but the proofing that slows me down. I won't say I'm a perfectionist, but I am very conscientious about each report being error free. I just don't know how to produce a higher line count (which I really need!!!) without sacrificing quality. Any advice to be given out there?
What's wrong?
Feel free to email me if you want to talk. I've been there almost 3 years, maybe I can be of some help...even if it's only moral support!! 
QA is definitely wrong, you were right. NM

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

You are so wrong-wrong-wrong re EMR's...sm
you have to remember, every year the MD's who graduate are more and more techy savvy. They can type as fast as I can. They pay their bills online, look for a new house online and manage their investments online. They live and breathe with the computer. So definitely EMR is part of the wave that will put MT's out of business. Oh, excuse me- not out of business, but there will be 100 MT's competing for the one account of the old fart who still prefers to dictate - and what do you think will happen to wages then...?
You are so wrong sm
Having worked in the pet care industry for over 30 years, I can tell you, you are so wrong. However, you mention a dog being trained. That alone will help establish the dog's place in the pack so at least something is being done right. Just remember, dogs are animals that operate from their base instincts. They do not reason like a human. Are you a person that when going to take something from your dog, if that dog growls, do you back off? That would explain, in part, why you have never been bit. You have relinquished top dog spot to the dog and he just needs to growl to put you in your place. Just having been around dogs all your life and never been bitten, doesn't mean a thing. Just means your dogs have had you well trained.
I am not 100% on this but I do not think you can but I could be wrong on this.

You are not wrong...
I think your husband needs to grow up. He has a moral obligation the you and your children. I think you gave his brother ample opportunity to get his act together. Why should he even want to get a job and move on when is living the high life on you and your husband? I think you are getting the shaft sweetheart and I hope your husband wakes up and sees what he is throwing away and what he is throwing it away for. Good luck to you. I will say a prayer for you and your children,.
You have it wrong
She was NOT voted off for singing a Christian song. As a matter of fact, she sang that song weeks ago and never even entered the bottom 3. She got the lowest number of votes after singing a COUNTRY song!!!!!
Don't get the pot stirring about christianity because it had NOTHING to do with it.
I may be wrong in regards to...
this may not be the NAV but Norton Security as I lost the links again and when I disabled the Norton Security I was able to get them back. In any event, it apparently still has to do with Norton.
It would be nice to know what exactly needs to be changed in Norton so the links would stay permanent. Hopefully,someone who has a lot more computer knowledge than I will be able to shed some light on this for us. :)
Thanks!
WRONG!
From January through July, 360 people in the county had been bitten by dogs, with the three human deaths occurring since April, the Beijing Times said. Furthermore, in many developing countries throughout Asia, Africa, and Central and South America, rabies is much more common, with the majority of human infections caused by dog bites
Remember, once symptoms of rabies develop, intensive medical care can maintain the heart, lungs, and other vital organs for a while, but death will occur.
So China is supposed to let a rabies epidemic sweep the country because you guys like dogs?!?
WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is a recipe for fried chicken baked in the oven!! I've been making it for years, so don't tell me! Maybe one day you'll decide to lose some of that excess weight and prepare your chicken this way instead of fried in all that GREASE! GAG!
Please don't take this the wrong way...
....just curious how long you have been an MT. Wondering why an MTSO would put you on OP notes if you have no experience. Maybe to lower your paycheck?
WRONG!
I don't like to get anyone angry, including you. I state my opinion period. YOU are getting YOURSELF angry because you can't stand an opinion that's different than yours and the fact that words are shot from the hip instead of dripping in syrup and candy coating to appease YOU. 
GROW UP and get with reality. If you can't do that, then go fester in your own narrowed minded life and keep pretending that you live in Candyland. GHEEESEH!!!
