one on me. They wanted me to 'report' on providers not doing their dictation. I was an IC at the time, but had a personal relationship with some of the docs. So I kept a straight face and said "Okay." Then the next time my fav doc told me he didn't have his dictation done, I said "You know, I'm supposed to tell on you when you don't have it done, but don't worry because I know who signs my check." The look on his face was priceless when I told him he was going to be fined for not getting it done. I think it was about a week before I saw any dictation from him and he actually started doing it more often! LOL It didn't really bother me, as he was a very relaxed sort of guy and never expected me to maintain 24 hr TAT after laying 8 hrs of dictation on me. What it boiled down to is, the OM came up with this idea, but had no authority to fine anyone for anything!

I had a post pulled once for mentioning my school because another poster had mentioned it (sm)

over and over again. When I emailed the other poster, she forwarded me an email from a moderator saying that the mention school we were discussing WOULD get our posts pulled because it was "not up to the standards" of this forum or something, no matter that we both managed to get jobs just fine working for them. I just thought that was stupid and it's no skin off my nose, but it did get posts pulled. That was at least eight months ago now, so if things have changed now, good, and they should have. But I still won't risk saying where I went to school. I don't rock boats.

I was too lazy to count them but saw them!
being the effort and quality skill set that takes a newbie to a quality, seasoned MT is something one is born with. Some things can't be taught even at the best schools.
