    Am I mentally challenged?
    No, but you may be. Did you even read the post? I worked there for one week, invoiced them and did not get paid. Yikes, try comprehending what is written before attacking.
    I'm trying . . . husband mentally ill (sm)
    and hasn't worked for nearly a year. I was working until I had to go to take care of sick dad for 3 weeks and husband didn't pay the rent. We've been in shelters and such since, now down to our last few days. This isn't the children's fault. They're the only thing I've ever done right in my life. I love them so much. But I'm scared of living on the streets, obviously can't do MT (haven't been able to since Feb since no shelters offer phones or Internet). I was thinking of seeing if they could be placed in foster care and trying to get myself OK in the head enough. what do you think?
    well, right now i'm *challenged*
    So until i'm paid on salary to do all the extras that go with the awful dictation lately, like becoming an interpreter, i'll take the easy way any day.  Disenchanted by the field as of late.  Used to love it.
    QA does not like to be challenged.
    I am not the original poster but I have also challenged QA with sample reports administered from the company, and the QA basically said I had "old" samples.  So I get blamed for making errors but QA dings me because I am following a supposed sample report they give me and I'm supposed to know that it is an old report?  Then I ask for samples for another format and QA sends me reports that I have typed from a couple of months ago and states "I give these same samples to all of my new MT's."  Well I'm glad to know that my work has now been used as "the sample" of choice.... LOL  and I SCORE - 2 points!  QA is just unbelievable.  It is pretty bad when you are with a company for less than 6 months and you know more about the account specifics than the so-called QA people do.  I have to be nice to QA because they are just trying to do their job as well but sometimes it does get a little ridiculous.  QA is supposed to be helpful not hurtful.  JMO.  Live and learn is what I say. 
    Technically Challenged
    I just had to reply.  I'm technically challenged too.  Nice to know I'm not all alone in my technically challenged world.   I do agree with the other post -- it depends.  Check with the person on the other end. Good luck.
    technically challenged

    I really am a throw back in time.  Help!  I am trying to test for a company, I can get the test file downloaded through FTP to windows media player, but how do I get the foot pedal to work with it and transcribe in word.  Dumb, Dumb, Dumb I know. 


    re below technically challenged
    Okay everyone of you tech savvy people - I downloaded express scribe, but what do I do now?  I can down load the FTP file, but it still just goes to windows media player and the pedal does not work.  The pedal does work for the welcome to express scribe message.  I need to be able to transcribe it in Word.  I tried selecting "load," but that does not seem to work either. I'm doomed!!
    hmm...feeling challenged here LOL

    There are a lot of mentally ill people out there. No joke. Just different degrees.
    Seriously, did you ever talk to someone who you just think might be one step out of reality but not enough to be considered full-blown crazy.  Lots of my friends fall into that category.  Sorry but its true.
    Vitamins that make us mentally alert?
    Which vitamin supplements can we take to make us more mentally alert as an MT?  Thanks
    I really have no idea. Very horticulturally challenged!

    Can Someone Help This Electronically Challenged Boomer?

    I was looking on the job board a few weeks ago and decided to check out one of the jobs and they had a list of what you needed to work for them. Talk about being out in left field! I have worked for TL/MQ since the 80's and everything as far as a computer has always been fixed for us so we don't have to do anything but type. I had no clue what they were talking about ...


    They said you have to have a sound card - doesn't that come with a computer?


    You have to have a game port for a 15-pin foot pedal? I have no clue what a game port is and don't know anything about foot pedals. *deep sigh*


    I don't know what a Windows XP Pro Service pack 1 or newer is - I just know I have Windows XP on my computer.


    I sent a resume to a company (sounded like a nice and easy job) and they sent me an email with attachments. One had some kind of audio files on it - didn't know how to get them, another had some kind of test where I was supposed to fill in the blanks - again, clueless how to get that test to where I could type on it. Needless to say, I thanked them for looking at my resume and knew I had to find these things out.


    Can someone please help me????


     


    I am sooo computer challenged. Please can you help? sm
    I am trying to test for a company that sent me the test via e-mail attachment.  The test file had to be unzipped which I did using Winzip.  But now, I have no idea how to get it to play.  What am I supposed to do now to get me sound card to play it.  I feel sooo dumb, but I've just never had to go through all these hoops.  I've always just been able to click and listen.  Ugh.
    Very nice around there. Good place to chill, hmm, mentally that

    You're funny. Ignorant, but funny.
    I don't live in NYC and I don't work out of NYC and I make wayyyyy more than $23 an hour, SandyGIRL.

    I'm an employee at the largest national and I make anywhere from $58K to $64K a year.

    You don't have to believe anyone but you show your ignorance by telling those of us who make that money that we're full of it.

    Hahaha
    Sorry, that was not an ASR funny, just a regular ole dictation funny. LOL! nm

    What a funny, funny reply. LOL
    You are a genius! I am sorry you are ugly and fat. I feel bad for you, but what I can I do to help? Go to a plastic surgeon.

    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.

    funny
    When I first started I thought I heard "bologna amputation" instead of below-knee amputation.

    thats funny
    That is funny, you are right!! Daycares are better than boarding schools.    And I also agree that not everyone is cut out to be a stay at home mom.  On the other hand, not everyone is cut out to be a daycare provider and that is what the good parents have to worry about. 
    OH HOW FUNNY
    Thank you for the best laugh I have had all week!!!!!!  I am cracking up!!!!!!
    SO FUNNY
    I don't even work for MQ.  you think only some people can use BIG LETTERS in their posts?  CRACK ME UP!  I am just another MT who is TIRED of hearing all the constant complaining.  THANKS
    That's funny! THank you!!
    .
    Now that's funny!
    ROTFLMAO. Hope my husband doesn't catch me.
    Way too funny! I had one doc that said:

    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!"


    oh, funny!!!
    x
    Those, too! What's really funny is when

    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.


    funny

    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? 


    funny you should ask -
    It all started with MQ's chapstick (got rid of it).  Then, I tried some short of Chap stick - with extra moisture, worked for a while, then back to what it was after MQ's chap stick.  Think I will try what I was using before this all happened or plain Vasolene and see how that works and lots of water.   I am thinking my lips might be reacting to the sun block in the chapsticks.  I just got scared when I read malignant or premalignant condition - WOW!
    And what is TOO funny is. . .

    The idiots in the SUVs that have 4-wheel drive that pass you doing 70 in a blizzard.  Oh yeah, like it isn't SNOWING!  Hello? And your 4-wheel drive is designed to get you slowly out of mud, snow, etc., not race down the highway in a snowstorm.


    I used to work 20 miles away down a major highway (45 mph speed limit).  I saw a total of 12 vehicles off the road in the snow last year in one week. All of them were 4-wheel drive SUVs.  Some had flipped over and landed roof side down.  Fortunately nobody had serious injuries, but these SUVs would just fly by my little car and leave me in total "white out".


    I still don't get it how people who buy these hugh monsters think they are oblivious to snow.  It's slippery even if you're walking or driving a military issue Hummer.


    Too funny... maybe he got bit (nm)

    ER - You are just too darn funny.
    What's funny ....
    is the petty crap that these "holier than thou" people harp on and on about and then tell others how childish they are. Makes you just sit back and shake your head and say PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH!
    You are so funny!
    What makes you think because there are 2 people defending Medquist that we must be one and the same? How smallminded of you! Not everyone hates MQ, get it through your fat skull.
    THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE FUNNY
    I read your post while listening to Dr."Betyacanttranscribethis!" He is an ESL and cardiac to boot. (Why is it always that way?)Thanks for the chuckle.
    too funny!

    You gave me a good laugh.  Thanks for that!!!!


     



    I really did think they were funny
    You have to admit, this board is lousy without them. They kept the emotions high! I bet you MTstars will not have the turn out they have had the last few days with all the drama that has been going on - GUARANTEED! They were the life of the party - and this party has done and fizzled out!
    It's really not funny, if
    you want to be humerous, there are many more less offensive ways to do it. Even if everyone on this site is fat and ugly, so-- What? People don't want to read that. It would be greatly appreciated by most who visit this board if you would stop doing this.
    very funny...nm

    FUNNY!!!!
    That's about it!!
    that is funny
    smart and a sense of humor, too! You have made me laugh after looking at my "in" bin and found there is nothing to do. LOL
    That is funny!

    This is too funny. We are really bad as well,
    but not usually as nice a place. We do tend to eat out at a little local diner a couple times a week as neither of us feels like cooking. I'm blessed that he will share that chore with me as I usually work until 6 p.m.

    And YES, tax time is coming and we'll all have to suck it up a little! Although, this year will be better than last for me as I nagged until hubby graciously (with several years of nagging)changed the tax they take out of him at work for my benefit.
