Listen Mrs. Frank MQ. Just because Frank gave all his MTs a chapstick doesn't mean

he loves you less.  You have to learn to share such a charismatic dude as Frank.  There is enough Frank for all of us.  Now go wipe your eyes and get your chapstick and be ready for Frank when he finally gets home.  He has worked hard today looking for Christmas presents for MTs to top the chapsticks and that's not easy. 


 


PS:  I hear he got us nail files to keep us MTs prettied up.  How cool is that?  Maybe you could help him get that MQ emblem on the files for that personal touch. 


I went to MQ web site where Frank is now answering questions. Looks like Frank
is running behind on his questions because they are last dated May 11.  Maybe he is in Hawaii?  
Frank still loves the ranks even if you are rankled by Frank.
Frank cares.  Didn't you get your chapstick?  He doesn't want you to get chapped lips.  Now that beats a raise doesn't it.  Money is so impersonal.  MQ chapsticks mean so much more.  Lots of thought went into bypassing raises and just mailing those chapsticks that are clever enough to fit on a keychain that Frank including.  That's big!
frank has needs just as we do. if frank needs a personal touch, i'm there for him.
just say the word.  frank has so many stressors perhaps that extra personal touch will enable him to clear his mind and understand the mts who just want to help him.  frank, we are here for you dude.  just say the word.
so what becomes of frank? who will we go to with our questions? i have bonded with frank.
will you be keeping him on? can we ask you our deepest personal questions like we did with frank?
There is only ONE frank in the MT world. Frank (Mr. MQ) whatever his last name is.
We love you Frank! We miss you!
OKAY! I need a vacation. Frank and fans of Frank/MQ who won the Hawaiian vacation?
Does anyone know? 
Are we related? I have a cousin just like this....sm
as long as she thinks the spotlight can be on her she's all for everything - but if she's not in the spotlight then she doesn't show up, etc. At least I got off the hook when she got married for the FOURTH time - she had a small wedding and invited my nephew (ring bearer), my sister/brother-in-law and my brother (photographer) but I didn't get an invite as she didn't have space.... so I never sent her even a card acknowledging her marriage.
In talking with my cousin who is a doctor
he says that any doctor who does not speak so that you can understand him does NOT care and most likely does NOT even read his reports!  So there you have it.  As it has been said many times before, GARBAGE IN/ GARBAGE OUT!  ESLs or no ESLs.  Those who say you are not a Transcriptionist because you don't want to make a *sensible* document, (you finish this sentence)!!!
Legends of the Fall with my cousin's
Brad Pitt (when he was a HUNK pre-Jolie, obviously). 
seems to me your cousin has already made it clear...
that she's not interested in family parties...so I would "believe" her prior pattern of behavior and ignore her shower.
If he let the tourists "buy their way out", my cousin and her friends, along with -
hundreds of other tourists would be safe and sound.

We have not heard from her or her friends since Friday, August 26, 2005.

You know absolutely nothing!
This same thing happened to my cousin's wife
and she also was 34. She was a school teacher at the time and had 3 little children. They treated her in the hospital for FIVE MONTHS. She was close to death for quite awhile but after multiple surgeries managed to finally survive. I do not think that they are suing. As someone stated, this is usually stated as a complication of gallbladder surgery.

Unfortunately, this hospital has a major problem with making those mistakes because my aunt also had her pancreas punctured when she went in just for a scope and also spent months in the hospital.

As hard as it is to accept though, these things do happen.

I am with the poster who said to pray for your cousin.
My cousin never had a problem with shellfish until later in life.

Then one night he ate some shrimp and his tongue swelled and his face swelled and he broke out in hives.  It was horrible.


Now he can't even walk by a boiling lobster pot without having a reaction.


But nobody ever knew until he ate that shrimp and he had never had a problem with it before.


So you never know.


My own cousin, an op room RN with a Masters degree tried
and failed at MT. She asked me for advice before starting, but didn't take me seriously when I told her that there was more to it than she thought. But she tried and tested, and just couldn't get hired. Her mother, who is my mother's sister-in-law, was talking to my mom one day, and she said, "Geez, if your daughter can do it, surely mine can! She's a nurse!"

Well, hers couldn't.

Nice, Aunt, huh?
mean, sarcastic manager and QA cousin at meditec

The internship is fine, don't look to get rich though. Purely training. Good way to get your foot in the door.  The reason why you may want to stay away is because of the manager and her cousin who is in editing. Mean, sarcastic people! That is how they treated me anyway.


I'll trade your friend for my cousin

He charges outlandish amounts to do our taxes. Last year it was over $550. The year before that was a little less 'cause we had a mortgage. We don't have that this year.


'Course he said he tried to squeeze every last penny of deductions he could out of our taxes. He even filed an amended return after talking to DH about taxes at our last reunion. Saved us a few more thousand dollars....but still hurt. I am an employee, gave up IC 4 years ago, but DH is still self-employed.


Totally! I opted out of going to a cousin's wife's 2nd shower
after only 3 years! Ridiculous. The baby was even the same sex. And SHE never got rid of anything. So, I heard later that she took just about everything back to the store for refunds/exchanges! Really something, huh?
Yeah, Daddy said Billy Bob's grandmother was his grandfather's third cousin's second wife.
Thank you. We are descended from the Hoots who lived in Killjoy, Alabama, right near June Bug. My mother was a Hoot.
frank
Hey!  I dont work for MQ and I dont' know Frank...I feel like I'm missing out on something big!
Well Frank cannot help
he just does not care. Nobody does. He is raking in the $$$$$. He does not respond to the e-mails, so what is the point. What a way to run the company. So sorry that we are boring you with our MQ issues. You obviously do not work for them.
To Frank
My experience was great too for several years....then one day.....POOOOF.   Hard to make a silk purse out of a pig's ear...uh, that's hard to make any money with no work.
To Frank
I did just that, figured it out and rectified the situation.
ohoh-should I know who Frank is? nm
nm
Frank's website
How do you get to Frank's website?  I need to tell him some stuff.
What is up with you? Are you related to Frank?

Frank knows that.  What a sourpus.


Okay, if no one answers I will ask Frank.

Frank wouldn't like that
You think a union would let them get away with decreasing ME pay by 20%? The concocted system they use to try and make people think their production has gone up is full of holes. I know they forget we are not stupid if they think we can't see through this.
Frank Stenosis

I had a neighbor like this once but after a frank
She had a boyfriend and they were the have a fight and make up kind. One night they had a particularly nasty argument and I didn't know who was going to win the _ugly word_ you, no _ugly word_ you argument. She kicked him out. We lived in NJ and he lived in Brooklyn and it was after public transportation had stopped running so he was looking at a $100 cab fare home.

The next day I made a point of running into her and being curiously interested in the bus schedules to Brooklyn and cab fares and when she asked why I was asking, I told her I was concerned for her boyfriend after what had happened the night before, using my best "bless your heart" face and telling her if she ever needed someone to talk to, just knock on my door.

She avoided me like the plague after that and they started meeting at his house

:)

Anybody else get letter from Frank today?

Got a letter from Frank about "document preservation"  and the ever-threatening "new pay plan."  He keeps mentioning his new pay plan, but never has the balls to tell us what it is.


Frank did not write me. I am jealous.
Frank isn't as hot as Gregg but I still wish I could hear from Frank.  He isn't answering my e-mails either. 
Frank's special place.


Isn't he cute?  He bought all of us chapsticks and a key chain.  I think that is so sweet.  He likes me the best of all his 10,000 transcribing chicks though.


So I am the one doing the labor and get 8 cpl. Frank and all the managers
need a little something-something for all their "hard" work.  We MTs are so
Does anyone know Frank's email address?
Does anyone know Frank's email address at corporate?  I feel the need to communicate on a personal level.  Maybe if we ALL communicated with him on a personal level he would be sorry for what he has done and give us all trips to Hawaii and a raise.  Ya think??
Anyone know Frank's email at corporate?
I need to tell him a few things.
We put frank away. as for your questions, please limit them
to inquiries about chapstick.  Number one, do not leave them in the sun as they will melt.  Any and all other questions I'm forced to get back to you at a later time, be vague or better yet not respond to you at all.  Good day. 
Lets ask Frank about spaces
Well, maybe all us MQ workers should send a friendly letter to Frank (isnt he still the CEO?)  and ask if we get paid for spaces.  I have been told in the past I do, however, I have noted a decrease in lines when switching to DQS and dont know where those lines went.  I have to work one to two hours more a day to make the same line count I made on Cottage, in the **good old days**..OMG, not paying for spaces?  Well, then maybe we should not space between words or sentences, cause it takes our thumb to hit the key board and know when to space, Im working here..It working to put in spaces..I should be paid!!..Or, okay, dont pay me for spaces, then pay me more for my lines and my intelligence and my knowledge of medical..
better yet, write to "Ask Frank"
on QNet...I have not even seen any Q&A's posted on there since April or May and I know there are a whole slew of them...I wrote one in June...not there either..so what's up with that???
Frank, I will go get back to work as soon as I
fix my makeup and put shine serum in my hair to look beautiful typing today for you.
Hey Frank, I'll work for you
email me and we'll talk.
Frank finds it as humorous as you did
I e-mailed him the link.
Whenever I bid an account, I have a frank discussion about TAT...
really only ER and X-ray need dictation back within 24 hours. For the rest of 'em, it's just a convenience. I explain as a small MTSO I don't want to be the one telling the MT who is sick with the flu that she HAS to get it done. None of my clients have ever complained about their TAT, which range anywhere from 24-48 to 1 week.
Well... I had a Frank Sinatra wanna be
He sang an entire appendectomy to me. Sounded a lot like that manta ray instructor in "Finding Nemo". Don't know if he was drunk (he was in the OR and yelling questions at the staff intermittently as he sang).
when Frank fixes Imail, then I might get his letter.

Yep, I agree. Frank loves us and only wants the very best for our lips.
:
YOU didn't respond, but the REAL Frank did.
Also cc'd the board of directors in so that could enjoy the show also.
Isn't it time we all called Frank whateverhisname is?

In the midst of this joke about letters and phone calls from village idiots who


have no answers, and now no work, and lies when we ask for answers --


isn't it time we all confronted Medquist?  I'm sure ready.  I'm angry enough and


broke enough to raise unholy sand!


If I were you, I'd take the hospital job, but ONLY after a very clear and frank discussion w/
the woman who has been refusing to hire you for the last few years. Why would she hire you NOW and not then? Is there a problem you or she need to address? But frankly, you could take a LOT less at the hospital, when you figure in, ON PAPER YOU SHOULD DO THIS, but figure in the 2-3 months down time every year, and the $600 a month in insurance. If you are over 45, you should count, too, on having niggling health problems coming up, and you could need paid time off AND non-cancellable health insurance for that.

If you and the hiring lady can iron out the wrinkles, I'd much prefer the hospital.
Frank is now our fearless leader at MQ and he likes us to call him
just plain Frank, like one of us common MTs.  No pomp and circumstance.  Just plain Frank.  So we are on a first name basis with the CEO and we can ask him questions on his web site and everything. He sent me a key ring and some lip gloss and I think he likes me special. 
Frank is busy but if you go to his web site you can pour your heart out.
You don't need I-mail for Frank to respond.  Besides his letter came in the mail and it took him hours stuff the envelopes and get them to the post office.  Don't dog my man Frank.
