HTH (hope that helps!) 

if the supervisors didn't bounce MTs off of QA in less than a week and then gripe at everyone about leaving blanks, if the account specs were clearly delineated, if the pay was worth a darn, if the QA feedback was constructive and consistent, then maybe the MTs would care about quality and loyalty. 

girlyman hater, I think you are trolling us here.

the country singer type I have no idea about, but a smart humble guy... science is a plus... bein' good lookin' can't hurt, but I dont want a sweaty singin' cowboy.

*just kidding, but this is how you sound.

Patient states, "I feel like s--t!"  I called my boss and said "I'm sorry, I cant type that in there." 

I used to work for an old cranky country doc that actually dictated the chief complaint as:  "Doc my b--ls are killing me."  I told him when I turned in the completed report that I had changed the chief complaint to:  Patient complains of testicular pain.  He just laughed and said, "That's why I hired ya!"

you confront an MT who is putting exactly 200 extra spaces at the end of each and every report and they are just DUMBFOUNDED that they are there. They have no clue as to how they could be getting there. So it stops. Then, before you know it, they are there again. Sorry, but they aren't magically putting themselves there. It's a macro, sweetums, and you're happy to be messing with "the man." Typically the same people will do it at the end of paragraphs, too, but of course with fewer spaces. Most of the time no one can see it, no one would think to look for it, but they're there.

The company I worked with called it "creating margin," aka the MT getting more money and happily shafting the facility that gets the transcription bill. Were the MTs told to not do that? Nope. They were not. Shame on the MT, and shame on the MTSOs who condone this behavior.

Last year I made 56,000.  This year I stand to make slightly more.  I have my own accounts and am self-employed.  Also, I do quite a bit of pathology transcription locally.  I have done rad also in my time.  I am getting ready to get my CMT.  You don't have to go to school for this.  As a matter of fact, many that do go to school know less than I do, as a lot of schools don't teach what they should these days.  It is just a basic fact.  Whether you go to school or not doesn't make you a good MT.  It is your work ethic and level of committment and actual experience on the job. 

Also, you sound so immature in your posts like you are really mad because someone can be successful at MT w/o going to school.  How silly is that?
