You all are a pretty nice bunch of people, you know.

Donating to the kids of fellow MTs, taking the time to email people and encourage them on how to be better MTs.  I'm really touched.  This month has been pretty rough but y'all are certainly putting the reason for the season out there.  You'll never know how much one email can impact somebody's day.

bunch of new people with no clout sm
That is an excuse to say why they would rather have brand new employees with no experience or clout so they can brainwash them. I have worked for a hospital for 8 years, and we have always had QA done and get paid on production. If you don't produce, you don't get paid.
He is actually pretty nice. I met him when i was 15 or 16..first concert. Have his autograph too!

I was nice today, and people were nice to me.
If you steer away from the nastiness, there are a few nice and encouraging posts in there. 
A really pretty silver picture frame. Its so nice!
nm
I think an extra 1,000 lines is pretty nice - shame on her for not appreciating it! nm

That's pretty sad...almost every doc I know cares about people.
They usually get out of that *I'm doing this to get rich* phase during their residency.
You will run across some pretty rude people around here as you've seen...(sm)
but not everyone is like the one above.  Welcome.  I don't have any of my own clients, but the service I work for recently lost the account I worked on pretty much out of the blue.  It's a real shock to have the work yanked from you like that, and I agree it was pretty cowardly for the wife not to just come out and admit when you directly asked.  I don't know what to tell you but just wanted you to know that you can expect some real nastiness around here at times, but don't let it keep you away.
I think it is nice of her to help other people...sm
Nothing wrong with that. Also I guess she has been doing this long enough maybe she is confidant in herself. I don't see anything wrong with that. I don't think shs is braggin on herself. Sometimes it just ticks you off when you have someone over you who acts like you don't know what you are doing.
Uh, no---wow thos 30% must be pretty shallow people-I went from a relatively short simple name - sm
to a slovic name, luckily very short too but confuses everybody and just about every either pronounces it wrong or spells it phonetically and puts in an extra letter (a "c"). I can live with it though I do correct everyone when they do it wrong.
Nice people, but pay is bad plus no pay for spaces.
Yes they also offshore. They are not very flexible.
Amphion People are Nice
Hi. I don't work for Amphion, but I know a couple of people who do. They are both in management, and they are really, REALLY nice people. Do you have an interview for an MT position? If so, you'll be just fine! The thing that matters most as an MT is your ability to decifer what's dictated and type it accurately!!! :)
Nice to see people care
I am relatively new to this site, but from reading the posts it seems like there are several negative people out there who probably don't care about the person you are writing about.  Unfortunately, I did not read her post and I don't know where she is, but I hope for her sake she is okay.  I have been troubled to the point of not wanting to be here anymore, but I was able to get help, and now I am doing great.  I just wanted to thank you for caring.    If you should here from here, please let us know. 
Very nice people.. but log sheet is very tedious! nm
.
Let me add though, the people there were awesome and very nice!! I wish it would have worked because

Nice people, good price
Well, thank you for that. It's about time we get some decent service and good prices on equipment for the work we do. Maybe things are changing for the better. Do ya think????
It's nice to see so many people on here moving to better jobs!
There seems to be an increasing trend on here.  I know there are still a lot of unhappy MTs out there, but more and more every day I am seeing MTs who go ahead and get out of their dead end jobs.  I am so happy for all of you.  Just made a move myself recently and I am so much happier.  When you get up every day and hate going to work and your life is miserable - it no longer matters how long you have been there.  It is not worth it.  This business is constantly changing and we have to change with it, hopefully for the better.  For whatever reasons, in the last 6-8 months there have been an enormous amount of unhappy MTs because of the changes being made at these companies.  Therefore, the amount of resumes and applications being submitted to job posts have also been enormous as I was told by the recruiter that hired me.  Hopefully that will settle down soon and those of you who have been unable to find a better job will have much more success.  Don't give up though, it just may take a little more time.  Congratulations to all who have landed better jobs and good luck to the rest.  We're pulling for you.
Pay is average, benefits are expensive, but seem like nice people.

why do people want to turn nice things dirty?
I am so sick of people like this that just seem to ruin everything.  This is how it all starts!!!! I love that this is a place I could be with my fellow MTs since I work at home.  This is like my office!!!   I love that our mod is looking out for us.  THANKS!!!!
I heard they were not nice to work for. Knew people who have worked there and left.
This is secondhand information, but I trust the people that told me this.
RE: I used to work for Freedom Type - VERY nice people - didn't do VR, just straight typing (nm)

I think I'm pretty bright and pretty good, too, but
I am not a CMT. I am a medical transcriptionist who enjoys her job very much (most days). I have chosen not to pursue certification simply because I cannot afford to do so. I believe the certification is a nice thing to have, but I don't believe it is necessary for employment or for excellence in my job. If you can afford it, go for it. If you can't, don't feel too bad. You can still take pride in and do a very good job without it.
How nice is this keyboard? Nice light touch?
I have a regular Microsoft ergonomic one now but I'm thinking I should probably get a replacement and use mine as a backup. 
if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.

As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
Thanks a bunch! nm

Unless you get a bunch of
very short reports to average it out, it's not worth it.

If speaking to your supervisor doesn't result in her adjusting for those long reports (maybe paying you more?) you should ask to be taken off.

I really feel for you! It's production work and don't understand how they can get away with paying per report, unless there are enough short reports to balance it our for you and sounds like they're not there!
Thanks a bunch!

thanks a bunch!

My bunch
in charge are all in their 20s, not a one of them has been an MT, so they really think that having the initials is absolutely necessary to get more business (which they are going to lose anyway because of pushing files through).
Thanks a BUNCH!
It worked!
thanks a bunch (also x-Q'r)

When did MTs become a bunch

of  paranoid nuts?  Now become someone uses grammar syntax that is a little "out of the norm" we accuse them of being ILPs and try to run them off?


:::FLAME ALERT AHEAD:::


Instead of being paranoid and worrying about how other people spell stuff or don't spell stuff, maybe we could get better at what we do (because the ILPs are not the only ones who turn in crap) and concentrate on that instead of attacking anonymous posters on a message board.


The attitude on this board is so completely disturbing to me it's not even funny.  If someone posts something that others don't like they're pounced like by a pack of rabid wolves.


Flame away.  I have coffee and a session with my elliptical machine in my immediate future.


 


Thanks a bunch! :) NM

I just cannot get over what a bunch of self righteous -
transcriptionists posted on this about having a physical and drug screen.
I like MM, too. I have a bunch of CDs here that I listen to
while I'm working.  I like all types of music.
Wow, what a bunch of losers you 2 are.
You sound real cool, "stick your 1.18 where the sun doesn't shine" and "you go girl". Duh. Get a life. Some people are happy at Medquist, myself included. I have found that the only people that aren't happy there can't type for crap anyway saying they only type 150 lines an hour. That is pretty pathetic. Find a different profession.
Thank you a bunch! Looking to apply
there - are they good?
I think it's all a bunch of bunk....
Think about it..  When you prep for a colonoscopy you drink some kind of liquid that gives you the runs for a day and cleans you out.  They proceed to examine the mucosa of your VERY CLEAN colon with a scope.  I've read that the colon cleanse junk, whatever it may be, is what causes all that nasty crap they show in the pictures.  It's just a bunch of fiber and junk that looks all nasty when it "reappears."  I think our bodies were made to function just fine without colon cleansing, douches, and liver detoxing.  If you eat well, exercise, drinks enough water, and get enough sleep, your body will feel energized and healthy. 
I think it's a bunch of ****. Sorry your in that situation! nm

Don't get your shorts in a bunch -

I'm saying the way things are right now in Iraq and Afghanistan, it would not surprise me that the armed services priorities are to place people there.  This is my opinion.  I also know people that have received a wonderful education in the military and continue to do so. I fully support our troops although they were lured there under "false pretense."  It is this "false pretense" that continues today.  Maybe delusional wasn't the proper word and I apologize.  As far as me being delusional - what is the latest body count? 


thanks a bunch...votefortaylor...nm

there are a bunch of primaries before NOV 06
.
I just found a bunch

Try putting in Rolland, Diana for the author.  I found many just now after reading your post. 


You can also try Googling for it but I like ABE's prices and have never gotten a bad deal from them.
