Does anybody watch Dancing With the Stars?
I want Drew Lachey to win so far.  Such a great show.
I wish I could ballroom dance but unfortunately..... not so good.
No regrets here. High scores, great job.

It's nice to hear of a happy ending! Great of MT Stars! nm

Neither IQ scores nor test scores
determine our place in life. It's not the cards you are dealt but the way that you play them that counts. AND BTW just remember that half of the docs (and lawyers, etc) out there graduated in the bottom half of their class. Something to think about.
It's "make-your-own" nite.....They need OT tonite..... nm

Actually I wuz thinking about sauteed stool for dinner tonite...

He drew my blood for my marriage license - engaged to someone else
True story. My husband was the one who was drawing my blood for my marriage license. I was engaged to someone else, and back then you have to have your blood drawn before you got married. When I sat down, he said to me "are you sure you want to get married before you and I have a chance to get to know each other?" I cracked up and realized he was right - I needed to get to know him before I got married to somebody else. We have been married 24 years - 4 children and 2 grandchildren.
Who is Drew Lachey? TV, singer, sports dude?
LOVE ER!!! I watch the re-runs every day, and watch the new ones on Thursday night!!

Drew Lachey is my future brother in law, that is, after Nick and I marry!
Is he drop-dead gorgeous or what? OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
MT IQ scores
Wow. I caught this while looking for something else. The impression I get is that the poster who talks about pathological liars is insecure and probably does have a low IQ score. My husband is at genius level, 179. I'm only 136. What matters is we know our terminology, grammar, sentence structure and how to use a computer and dictation equipment. :-)
I'm sure she has the QA scores to prove it.
Otherwise, she'd wonder how she was doing instead of speaking the truth.
I too have high QA scores but the QA
percentage is killing me (over 30%). When work is low I am reluctant to take on another acct because once again all would go to QA and affect that percentage. I have decided to just type and not worry about my QA percentage for now, just continue to type and send quality work (of course when there is work).
Just curious - just where is everyone getting their scores?nm

With all these high IQ scores....
we have some serious underachievers here!!!!!!!!
SAT scores aren't everything.
In my other job, I work with colleagues who are current and past admissions officers for several prestigious universities. They have told me time and time again that although SAT scores are considered when reviewing an applicant, they are far from the most important determinant of acceptance or denial.
Yes, it's unfair that someone can manipulate the testing system, but no one gets in to college based on SAT scores alone. You've got to have the grades, recommedations, achievements, etc., to back it up.
QA scores vs limits vs less money for MTs and QA
In new QA plan, if MQ pays on your QA score and limits the amount of reports you can send to QA (was it 15%?) doesn't that essentially cut down on QA personnel and while looking for an excuse to pay you less and it is contingent on QA and percentage of reports sent to QA, MQ wins again in its master plan to pay MTs less and eliminate jobs.
Then think about this. If you must proofread every report to get required QA and must relisten and reread difficult reports because you have limits as to what you send to QA, how much of a pay cut is that for MTs?
MQ SUCKS!
That was the old advice before FICO scores came out.
The new advice is to leave some of them open. You want to show that you have credit available to you, but that it's unused. Having just a few maxed out accounts or having no credit cards is bad now.
Genius IQ scores are not the issue!
I know, and apparently you do as well; life and the decisions we make are what makes us what we are, not our IQ score! There are lower scoring IQ docs and lawyers out there that worked their tails off to be what they are. IQ scores didn't do it for them. My problem is not with the IQ score, it is with the PERSON having a genius IQ score who thinks they are "something" because of a number.
My company minimum is 98.5, my scores are
consistently 99.9. My company doesn't count off for punctuation, although they will make corrections to it. I get daily feedback. I get my corrected reports and I also get access to the audio. The last day of the month we get a report that shows us lots of information and also gives us our QA score. If you drop below the minimum you are given a warning and given 2 weeks to do better. If you do better they will work with you, if you don't do better you get axed.
My work is good, but not perfect. When we get corrected reports there are many categories in which they take off points. Rarely do I have a critical error, but I frequently have minor errors, some just careless, some because account specifics changed and I didn't preview them before starting work and unaware of updates - all that said I still make 99.9, so I would think I would have to make lots of errors or serious errors to get even 98.5 with my company. If you're only making 97% and you are getting regular feedback make a list of errors and keep them where you can see them regularly. If you are consistently misspelling a word or not capping, etc. put it in your expander. You should also do a 100% review with the audio for at least a few days so you can see where you are making mistakes and they will become habit to check for, or when you make errors automatically correct them at the time.
If your errors are because you don't know terminology get a notebook and write down things alphabetically. If you are pretty much using the net for all you reference sources be sure you have some good websites as there is a lot of misinformation out there.
I don't know about the over-inflated IQ scores on this board (LMBO)
Pathological liars
Self absorbed
Wannabe
and very VIVID IMAGINATIONS!!!
the list goes on! LOL!
I would think that our QA scores honestly reflect the quality of our work
and are not infuenced in any way by how we interpret the status you may or may not hold. Hopefully, you are not basing QA statistics on whether or not you like a certain MT's attitude about you.
Our school has good scores but my kids have never been stressed
Probably depends on the teachers and the corporate culture at your school.
Why not mention the other side? That MQ payes BONUSES FOR GOOD QA scores!
Whine, whine, whine, but those who are GOOD get $$ for good QA scores! Improve your skills, make more $$, and whine less!
Drew Lachey is Nick Lachey's little brother.
Nick Lachey is the adorable ex-husband (YAY) of Jessica Simpson. Drew sang with 98 Degrees group with his brother.
I would love to see Nick compete in Dancing With the Stars. He was in the audience cheering his brother on. Class act, both brothers.
They were saying that MT Stars could see (sm)
the message. Supposedly they sent one to an MT using the Reply By Email function and were told not to mention other boards that could be in competition with this one. Since the info was sent as reply by email, they warned that evidently that's not so private here. ??
MT Stars has one

Thanks MT Stars!
THANKS MT STARS!!!
Wow! This is great! Thanks MTStars & MetroScript for making this happen!!!
Thank you, MT Stars!!!
I needed one!
Post on MT Stars
Hi, saw your post. I too am a Spheris employee currently on FMLU time. Found a great company that does not require you to adhere to a schedule; work just has a 24-hour turnaround time. Producing 1100 lines a day is wonderful. I am just starting, but am satisfied so far and learned of this job from another MT in my small town, who has worked for this company for years. They are InHealth Transcription. Carol Scheer is the recruiter. Check out their website. Good Luck!! Let me know how you fair. I haven't been at this but for 10 years, but I am becoming disgruntled also. I would love talking to someone with this much experience.
I second that! Thank you MT Stars for doing the right thing!
Sheri from MT stars
Sheri, I just wanted to let you know that I have not received an e-mail giving me a chance to draw from the gift bag. I made a donation using paypal on December 2nd and have not heard anything. I do have the reference number for verification.
Empty Box from MT Stars
Sad day when someone goes through the mail and takes your gift. I received a tube from MT STARS today and it was empty...This was my gift from the Santa donation. I hope whoever took it really likes the gift.
Dancing with Stars
Yes, I love it. So far, Jerry Rice was my absolute favorite!
addicted to MT Stars
It is not just you. I am constantly checking it as it is a nice diversion. Plus it is great when you need word advice now and then. It is also a good feeling being able to pitch in and guess a word when someone else is stumped. Just like any job--we always wonder what everyone else is doing down the hall.
Thanks MT Stars for the recognition!!!...n/m

MT stars board
is this owned by an MTSO or just who is it owned by?
I would thank my lucky stars I still had a job
You've really got some gall to do that.
You're no lab rat, ma'am. You're trying to manipulate your employer.
You work FOR an employer, at their discretion.
If that shoe doesn't fit you anymore, go get a different one.
If I were your employer, I'd fire the both of you as examples to the other 2, regardless of what it took to recover from it.
You asked for opinions. That's mine! lol
MT Stars IS Santa! sm
I love this board and gain so much from it, I cannot imagine how anyone can find fault with anything on here. Just refund their money if they don't like it!
Yup - it's why I'm reading MT Stars right now

MT stars board
something very does sound amiss.(teehee) MT stars should have easily transferred to the new domain by now. But, I would very much remain optimistic about it at this point. This so called message from this doctor sounds like so many of those fraudlent emails that are sent out. you know the ones - I am from foreign country, cannot deposit this sum of money. Would ask that you make transfer into your bank blah blah blah .....I wouldn't trust anything from overseas. If it does happen that it is this way, then all will find out in the end, until then chill....
Saw your message on MT Stars
Before you get your hopes up, I wanted to say I don't know of any jobs just yet but will keep an eye out.
There is a web site I've been working on that might help you as you're looking. www.medical-transcription-and-you.com
I'm not sure how to get that to be a link you can just click on, but it looks like you'll have to copy and paste it into the browser.
Anyway, there is lots of information which may or may not be helpful to you, but it does go through the process of resume, looking, applying, following up, etc.
And, don't worry, I'm not trying to sell anything! I started the site because I was a single mother 7 years ago and was totally lost when it came to MTSOs and working from home and I've picked up a few tips along the way that I wanted to share. Plus the page on voice recognition humor might pick up your spirits.
Paid, thanks to MT Stars and Sheri
I had an issue with an MTSO who had ads on this board. I contacted Sheri (board owner), who made haste in getting in touch with the MTSO. As a result, I was paid today.
Many thanks to Sheri and MT Stars for your support, concern and willingness to get involved!!!!!!
Thankful MT!!!!!!!!
MT STARS: Thank you for my lovely gift.

Thank you MT stars for the beautiful print. I am going to have it
framed and hang it in my living room. I think you are doing a great thing with the Santa's House project, too.

You need to repost this over and over - it is great, glad I did not miss it.
