Sick of QA crap
At this company I work at, I get so sick and tired of QA. I am sure that there are a lot of wonderful QA people out there and I commend you. But it seems like where I work at, the QA do not follow all the same rules and change what they want with your reports. I get feedback about once a month and I was just looking at my feedback and I am so irritated. They changed things on my report that if you look in the account specifics it is the total opposite. I am doing it right and they are changing it wrong but b/c they make a mark on my report it looks like I am the one at fault. Like we are supposed to place all numbers in arabic form and dates also, but QA went and changed on my report numbers 1-10 to written form and also spelled out the dates and it specifically states not to in specifics. Or like with fractions, it is supposed to be 18-1/2 (a dash in there) but QA changed to 18 1/2 (no dash). And they also change little nitpicky things, for ex. how they think headers should be, they change words around, add commas in stupid places. And what one QA person will mark as wrong, another QA will mark as right. Where do they get these people? I emailed the supervisor for clarification, but I have done this times before and nothing has changed. I really like this company other than the QA. The QA just act like they have all this power and they can change what they want to. It is total bull.
How dumb are YOU? I was referring to people saying crap like
"things happen," which is a HUGE COP-OUT.
you are truly a piece of crap - and the posters on this board are way too kind
in their words to you in calling you selfish and coldhearted. You are absolutely scum of the earth for your statement of "why is any state taking these jerks in?"
Probably people aren't too thrilled about being sick on weekends either. nm

What-ev-er! I'm sick of people shoving their homosexuality down my throat.

p


Do you realize they just hired more people for these accounts. What a rip. Sick to death of it and
when you cant work a weekend they say well we will just have to hire more help then.
Garlic keeps you healthy. You smell so bad sick people avoid you.

Yeah, but good times or bad, people still get sick, hurt
I do mainly pediatric oncology, orthopedics and GI, and it seems to be increasing, not slowing down.
and yet they are posting on MT board!
and all that hard work paid off so they could spend time with the riff-raft on MT board. sweet. i bet her parents are real proud of all that money they spent on her education. hee.
Posting on this board sm
I agree with the moderator and the thing that bothers me is that some take up so much of some of the boards, that they seem to "overcome" and this is why in desperation, some say, "Please help me on".....xyz board because they know the board they should be posting on has only one or two posters. Albeit, these posters are helpful also, but don't you think it would be wise to allow only a certain number of posts per day on certain boards to allow someone else to get a word in edgewise? Then there would not be so many "lockouts" and posts on the main board. I was in a situation that was of importance to my future business and I did ask for help on a board which seemed to have only one or two posters lately, and I was shut down. This is not a punitive message, just a suggestion that sometimes we are desperate to be helped. This board is an excellent source of communication and I would hate to see anything negative happen here. Just a suggestion. Carry on the good work!
why are you posting on the main board ??

Did anyone see the posting on the job seeker's board with
the ortho emphysis? 
Did you notice the posting on job board

for the company hiring new grads?  I would be highly suspicious since they didn't give the name of the company.  It may be a legit company, but.....


 


I tried posting on State Board, but is anyone else from TN?

That particular poster is now posting on the new MT board
noticed several posts from her over on that board, which is where I suspect she belongs, to be honest.
Just remember that it is not the people on this board who short changed their people and ONLY after
caught did they (after they were suied) make an effort to look good by sending out these checks. Now, think about this--had they done this many years ago when they short changed everyone, that would have been honest. Does it not bother you that only after they know they are under the gun that they are doing this to try and make themselves look good?

I used to work for MQ and I used to like what I did. I never can say I really liked the people that I worked with, but I really think they had some of the best accounts that I have ever come across in the MT industry. I loved working the major teaching hospitals that I did, but that certainly does not mean that I enjoyed being cheated out of pay.

So chill already. People have been cheated, were lied to, and only AFTER they got caught have they tried to return some of the money they robbed us of (as well as cheated their clients).

We all have reasons not to be happy with this company and you go off on us because we are complaining of things like small refund checks of a penny or a few cents or a few hundred dollars and NO WAY to even check to find out if this is correct?

I am sorry you are unhappy all of us thinking that there is still a dead rat in the cellar, but there is still a dead rat in the cellar and nothing will bring the dead rat back.

I would hold no love for a company that I know willingly cheated the very people who helped THEM make money out of their hard-earned money.

Go take a deep breath and think about that.
Definitely one of the other board's people who refer to those on this board as "holy rollers,&
Now go ahead and post your reply - I know you're dyin' to!

LOL
CHS Acct Mgr posting on job seeker's board
I have a sneaking suspicion that this is Ascend.  If anyone finds out what company this is, please let us know!
Anybody having problems posting on word board ?

I have tried several times but will not post, some type of error. 


 


I was banned from other board for posting diff.

Maybe you would have better luck posting this on the coders board.
.
Thank you so much for posting that. I just came on the board to look up the going rate for Midwest
and there you were! Thanks so much!!!
Can anyone see the posts? People are posting replies. Wonder if it is everyone who is having probl
??
Check out the posting on job board titled "mt job".

This is who we're losing our jobs to?!?!


You can be banned for posting these type of questions on this board. At least that is....
what they told me.  Unless they are selective on style/word/abbreviation questions being asked here.  Hmmm.  I wonder.
RadGuy, I gottah say this. You'll find someone on this board if you keep posting!! Even though mo
married (happily, others not), you just come off as interested in what we do as MTs (because you understand), you are funny, witty, and have a great personality....

I can just see it now....
You are personally invited to a virtual on-line wedding to celebrate.....

LOL!!

You realize you are posting this on the main board, right? Not everyone at this site works for MQ.

Some people are new to this board
and confused.  Every heard of a NEWBIE needing help?????
I AM SICK, SICK, SICK AND TIRED

Of bad dictators and QA that takes up for them!!!!  I am sick to death of:


1.  Doc saying paragraph after every sentence.


2.  Docs never dictating the first name of doc they are writing to.


3.  QA asking us to insert certain sentences in certain places for certain doctors who do not dictate them.


4.  Docs wanting their own specific headings but not dictating them.


5.  Docs who ramble, never saying period.


6.  QA asking us to **fix** their grammer, mistakes, fragmented sentences, and verb tenses and sometimes when we do, we are docked points for **not transcribed as dictated.**


7.  QA not wanting anything sent to them, stating **researach medical terms and facilities you are not familiar with.**  If they are not there to help us out, what are they doing there????


8.  Docs, NPs, and PAs who do not know how to dictate, pronounce, or spell.


9.  QA asking us to use BOS, but not knowing it themselves.


10.  Doing work I do not get paid for.


Before QA became involved, in years gone by, if a doc's dictation was awful - then that is what he got for transcription and more times than not, they would straighten up and make a better effort.  Not now - we or QA has to almost do the dictation for them!!  They are the ones with the medical degree - not us.  What happened to us just transcribing what is dictated.  Why can't they be responsible for what prints out??  If someone could let them know how much trouble their dictation style causes, it would cut my transcription time in half.  My list could go on and on.  It is a terrible time to be thinking about getting out of the business, but if this crap keeps up - I have to give it some serious consideration.  The job just AIN'T what it used to be.


Kristen, you've got at least 3 people on this board
that say you've scammed them. Are all three people liars??? It's not that hard to do a criminal background check on you now that we have your name. And it would not be hard to obtain your SS# after that either to find out what other states you've done this in.
It was not about the south, but the people on that board. get over yourself.

Word ? DO NOT go on this board, but people continue
to post them.  Administrators have continuously posted DO NOT post word questions here.  Most everything else is allowed unless people get ugly and then they are told to take it elsewhere.  If you want to play you need to follow the rules. 
Board names or not, some people, myself included...

don't care to discuss what they make.  Why should we?  It is such an individual thing and based on so many factors that is is impossible to draw any meaningful conclusions.


The type of work, as well as the MTs experience, ability to research effectively, retention and overall knowledge and intelligence, self-discipline (and much more) are variable, to say the least. 


What others make is totally irrelevant to what someone else may make.


I think people get reamed on this board because registration is not
how they feel. I think the moderators here do a pretty good job of keeping this site clear of that sort of thing though. I personally like that I don't have to log in or show who I am when I post.
People who read this board still apply
at companies they are warned about.  Your book would not only be a waste of time, but no one will buy it. 
Why is is that people come on this board and ask a question and get pissy when they don't like th
your orginal post you are complaining about following the account specifics and not liking it and now you are blaming QA...don't get mad at other poeple if you are not clear on your original post...
Other people have posted about the ad on the company board--
--but the posts were deleted. I'm not sure what's up with that.
Could this be termed false advertising. Seems like a lot more people on the other board are saying
the same thing about MQ. If she is so religious as you claim why would she steer people to a company to have them not be able to pay their bills. Seems a bit odd to me.
Soooo...what are you saying? That people should post something that is worthy of the board in SM
your estimation? Would you like to have the monitors delete this post about KL and Regis? What is it that you want? Or would YOU like to think of a transcription topic and post it? What's the deal?
Not just in this thread but hostile people on this board always, WHYYYY
It's depressing.
Someone please post the name of a board where I might have to pay to be a member but don't have to listen to all the mean people.
thanks for backing me up. It IS possible-sm
I have the same accounts every day and know them well. i do use macros and autocorrect in word. I have a gross line count, which is different from 65 character count, so that may make a difference. but I do work hard at 12 to 14 hours a day. I stop for a quick lunch and it is back at it. It is hard, but I have a good nest egg, as well. Oh. and i DO have a life. thank you. not bragging. just stating the facts for MY situation. Not every account is the same. I do not do acute care, either.
backing up

I am wondering if you somehow got yourself deleted as a user of the computer???  Don't know much about that.  But if your daughter's stuff is still there, then it would seem the computer is working okay (just a layperson here guessing).


I bought an external hard drive and I keep a copy of everything on that.  If the computer goes out, I can use that on another one.  Don't know how to get program files on there yet though. 


I let the shop do anything with the program files as I don't trust my limited knowledge.  They cloned my C drive (with the programs) and made me an F drive on the hard drive in the computer so that if C goes down, I can use the programs from F.  Don't ask me how to do this -- have absolutely NO idea but they do and and I know they can get me up and running.


I also use CDs for backup but they won't last as long as a hard drive will so keep that in mind.  But it's just more protection.  Like you, the neighbor has a copy of my Expander program. 


I wish you luck.  I'd suggest System Restore as well.


Cute. Now you have taken to analyzing people as an anonymous poster on a MT board.
On a Sunday morning, doncha have something better to add to the world?
People tend to "embellish" the answer to this question, especially on this board.
Some people seem to feel a need to impress strangers on an anonymous message board. Sad, but true.
backing up abbreviations

I'd like to make a backup copy of all my abbreviations on Word Expander.  I use Bayscribe for my work.  Does anybody know how I can go about backing these up?  I'm concerned that all it would take would be a virus or something funky to happen to my PC, and I'd lose all those abbreviations.  I have stored over 2,000 my own abbreviations for a total of over 60,000 characters and would really regret all that work if something happened.  Thanks. 


backing up abbreviations
Thank you VERY much for the info!  Makes sense to me.  I'll give it a try. 
Backing up Shorthand
Could anyone tell me how you back-up Shorthand.  I have been trying to figure this out for quite some time.  If my hard drive crashes, then that means I will lose all my ShortHand entries I have added for the past 2-3 years...and that definitely makes me very nervous.  TIA.
Backing up files
You could look into getting an external hard drive.  You can connect your old computer to it and transfer all the files you want to keep; then put them directly on your new computer when you get it set up.  You can find them at Target, Best Buy, Circuit City, etc.  Hope this helps.  Good luck!
backing up expander
I bought an external hard drive when it was on sale and back up my dictionary and Expander stuff to that.
You know all throughout this thread I see posters backing

pro MQ posters and funny thing, they have all the same style of writing, emphasizing their thoughts with CAPITAL LETTERS.  Could this be one MQ manager working overtime to make it appear there are lots of posters who think MQ is the greatest and anyone who doesn't like MQ has a bad attitude?  I don't know but it looks fishy to me.  Those CAPITAL LETTERS are a big give-away that one poster is assuming multiple personalities to defend MQ but isn't smart enough to change style of posting.  


Just sayin.............


 


Our driveway collapsed while my dad was backing up
This is particularly a problem in the south where there is a lot of lime in the soil and underground watersheds. The county where I live has a large sink hole that brings visitors from all over...It is nicknamed the "Golly Hole" because "Golly" is what people say when they see it! It is more than 3 football fields in length and more than one across.

This also happened on my mother's property when she allowed her neighbor to use her water to fill some ponds on his golf course. He drained the watershed too quickly and she had sink holes pop up all over her 10 acres. An environmental attorney wanted $5000 just to look at the facts of the case to decide if he would take it. She just had the holes filled in...actually several of them more than once...and it was cheaper than suing. Not much you can do but call the department of health (that may be the right department in your state).
