    Murders AAARRRGGGHHH
    Never mind.

    I get paid less to edit than to MT. I shouldnt

    what is that suppose to mean sm
    about disabled people did not need to belong to AAMT? I hope that statement is why she is no longer there. I don't know what she had in mind as a "disability" and it does not matter, but there are foks with chronic illnesses who are "disabled" but can still work shorter hours etc. Good thing she is no longer with AAMT. What an idiot.
    Maybe I'm not suppose to ask this, but....

    Would anyone be willing to give me the ballpark range for what contractors charge their clients in Florida.....like 13-15 cpl.  Also anyone from California with the same information?


    I am just starting out and I don't want to low-ball anyone!  Thanks!


    and through all this where is AAMT who is suppose....sm
    to be helping us... why their just making sure we have to buy their book ... what a crockapalosa!!
    Oy. And I suppose it's verbatim.
    So then you have to ask if you are supposed to leave the stoopid stuff in or take it out??


    I suppose ignoring
    such comments would be the best approach, but it gets extremely annoying to see these. And, sometimes people aren't aware of their own bad habits and brining it to their attention could help.

    Sometimes not.
    I suppose theoretically it's possible

    If you're really fast and can average 300 lph or more and are making at least 10 cpl.


    I hate to see them mislead people like that though.  It takes a long time to build up that kind of speed.  There are people on this board who say they can do it, though.


    I just keep Norton I suppose and never checked into anything else.

    Cannot believe that show is on A&E. Supposedly he is suppose to

    Does anyone suppose that with all the advances in technology that
    there might be some more companies willing to take those MT's who only have satellite in the future?  There are so few now.  Really limits a person's options.  Wadyathink? MTSO's - any response??
    Misread the question I suppose. Sorry! Don't have a cow. nm

    OOPS! This was suppose to answer
    /
    was it suppose to come with a headset, how do you work without it.
    nm
    I mean, was it suppose to have a display? if so, then return it
    nm
    I suppose all the work that is outsourced
    Makes no sense.  What do they expect for 7-10 cpl?
    Yeah, and I suppose I probably offended
    some newbies, too. I didn't mean to. I know what I was thinking in my head but I didn't communicate that in my message post.
    it was a USPO MO, but it can't hurt to check I suppose, thanks for the tip. - nm

    By today's appallingly lax MT standards, I suppose a few -
    :D MT as a profession is turning into such a JOKE, isn't it?
    I suppose given a choice I'll take DRUNK!

    I suppose a good object lesson

    would have been, just once, to type exactly what he said, down to every repetition.  Wouldn't if feel good do do that just one time?  I mean, it would be 'verbatim.'


    Often I will go ahead and type both versions when someone keeps mis-speaking:  'The patient was brought to the ER by his friend, his girlfriend, his fiance.    He had onset of pain on Tuesday, or maybe Wednesday, Tuesday night or Wednesday morning....'  Hard to tell with some of these dictators what they are trying to change/add/subtract. 


    So far there have been no QA repercussions over this.


    PLEASE! Let's suppose a supervisor works an 8 hour day on and off. At home.
    What does this supervisor do? So I have a supervisor now see. Every now and again I will get an e-mail that tells me account is behind or caught up. Not on a daily basis and sometimes not even on a weekly basis. Now besides looking into the computer to see account is behind or up to date, what does this supervisor do in the course of an on and off 8 hour day?

    I am assuming this "supervisor" is not doing QA or anything, just supervising an account. So any questions regarding QA are sent off to QA personnel. So what questions can a supervisor have that would tie up their day? EIGHT HOURS of a working day doing what?
    last post suppose to be ad, not as directed. Word expander was on.
    Sorry.
    On this new MQ rewards plan what exactly is it offering statutory employees and I suppose that that

    is going to be the end of our quarterly bonus. My concern still is if there is no work how do you get any incentive if they lower the base rate. Sounds like employees will have a larger window to get their work done which means we all will be scrambling around for work at all hours.


    And I suppose you're perfect in everything you do? No one was making light of the woman's sit

    XP is probably pretty cheap now. Microsoft suppose to be coming out with new OS at end of year.
    :+
    So you get a flash drive with voice files on it you are suppose to transcribe?

    I'm trying to understand.  Do you save the transcribed reports on the same jump drive?  If that is the protocol, then wouldn't the MT before you typed any reports, then wouldn't they be saved to the flash drive?


    If so, then you could open up the flash drive and if there are any Word files or text files, you open those up and see what they are.  If they are transcribed reports, write the patient's name down and don't transcribe those notes.


    Whatever the case may be, I would absolutely tell the office manager or whoever you are meeting with that you will type everything on the flash drive and that you expect to be paid for everything you type.  You gave them freebies the last time and you're in this business to make money.


    got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to

    we received our "incentive packet."  They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally.   These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.


    *70 will disable call waiting unless you are expecting a call and want it on (nm)

    On-call requires on-call compensation by law
    This field gets more disgustingly grotesque daily.
    Call me, call me anytime.
    I'm waiting to hear back on a job.  Call me!
    Call KS and call your bank. Why ask here?
    .
    If they don't call you within 15 minutes, you should call them. There
    is no excuse for leaving you sitting by a phone all day. At the very least, an e-mail explaining why the delay. If this is the way they train, how do they pay. Do you really want to work for a company who thinks so little of your time?
    You SUPPOSE it was wrong! It was way wrong.

    Call the doc and get an Rx....sm
    My 3 kids had hand, foot, and mouth disease and the lesions in their mouths was just awful!! When they got chicken pox about a year after that one of my kids had them in her mouth and the doctor prescribed the same mouth rinse. They swished it around and spit it out and they stayed numb for hours! They finally got rest that way and so did I!! Go luck to you and hope all is well soon.!
    you may need to call the doc (sm)
    cause when I had the chicken pox, the same think happened to me and they did spread to my throat and became infected.  I had to take antibiotics...I remember so well cause I was 13 YO when I had them.  Also, it is Maalox and Benadryl, and viscus lidocaine, but I think that is Rx only.  I'd call the doc if it were my child.   give them a hug for me, I know how they feel!
    I would call
    your local humane society first and speak to them about the matter.  First, do a little investigation while your neighbors are gone.....does the dog have fresh water and food during the day?  Does he have shelter at all times from the sun or from storms?  It is totally a bad thing for any animal to be kept on a chain.  Look real hard and try to find out anything they are doing wrong with that poor pup.  Actually just calling the humane society or animal control about his constant barking should bring them out to talk with the owners.  Let us know how it goes for you.  I know it has been unpleasant for you but, as you apparently realize, it is even worse for that dog.  This is your chance to help him. 
    call first

    I would contact Hotels.com first to see why they only reimbursed partial.  That is ridiculous.  I would be upset.  How long ago did they bill your credit card?  I'd call your credit card company and dispute the charge.  Most credit card companies will fight it for you.


    Good Luck!!


    You call that a different POV?

    the point is how this person has attacked the OP.  They were rude and it was uncalled for.  so the next time you have a concern and bring it here, we can rip you apart instead of give support and you can chalk it up to it being a different POV.


    I get so SICK of some people trying to make excuses for bad behavior. 


    We call them
    PIG NUTS up here!  LOL  They are good, though.
    call in 1-800
    MedT:

    idigital through transcriptiongear.com is very very reliable. You pay for what you use. I have been with them for over four years now and you dont worry about anything.. Check out the website and give them a call.
    On Call Pay..
    I know someone who works as a computer tech. When she is on call for a weekend, she gets paid $3 an hour for every hour she is given "on call" duty, so basically from 5 p.m. Friday to 8 a.m. Monday, she is paid $3 an hour, whether she has a "trouble" call or not. When she does get a call it is usually 15-30 minutes to deal with it, and it rarely happens. I think she has a great deal. She is not a transcriptionist, but is employed by a hospital.
    On Call Pay
    Thanks Pam. That gives me an idea of price range.
    I can see why you call yourself that!
    Spheris is hiring over 1500 US MTs THIS YEAR ALONE, you idiot. It's laughingly obvious that you're a disgruntled worker or EX. LMAO I hear McDonalds is hiring. LOL

    Everything in your post is bogus. Just an angry dissidence. LMAO
    I will call them
    I will call them once I get DSL in my area. It isn't available here yet.
    Why are we getting a call
    to ask if we got the packet yet when we are not supposed to get it until October? This seems really weird to me.
    The call...

    was very friendly. Medquist will now offer:


    1.  15 cpl/line for each and every MT regardless of ASL or regular transcription.


    2.  If work runs out each MT will be guaranteed compensation at their average hourly salary until work does come in.


    3.  All offices will be run exactly the same way.


    4.  If U believe all this, I do have a rather nice bridge in Brooklyn to sell...


    No call yet either
    I am still waiting for my call regarding the Rewards Plan. Letter is dated 9/2 and today is 9/14; that is almost a couple of weeks. The packet will come sometime in October so we will probably get a call a few days before it comes so we won't have enough time to look it over.
    What should we call him?

    Call whoever you want to
    Listen up Bozo - I don't have any cousin named Sipper!

    Go call whoever you feel like calling! For you comment about me being off the meds, why YES I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
