Sid from MDI-MD, I lost your email addy...sm

Hi Sid, I lost your email addy.  Would like to speak wtih you some more, update you - please email me....thanks.


If you list you email addy in your reply,
I'll email you privately.
I have,however Ms. Jester comes in under a diff. email addy to
to post.  Everytime she comes on to post, I ban her.  What is unprofessional about posting the truth about a company owner who is not doing the right thing by paying unpaid wages? I'll go ahead and answer.  Nothing.
Yeah a 30 minute test---work for free, he gets enough to test, his work is done - nm

Anyone else get an email from aamt about REGISTERED MT beta test?
Seems pretty stupid to me.
mine is stored in Auto Test as cc: and it doesn't cap.
.
Doesn't a test that takes over an hour and a half seem excessive?

No, but then the fool doesn't have my email ads so how could he?

You mean he has figured out a way to lower my income even more?


Why doesn't he just send me a bill for the opportunity to sign in to type the


junk they have now?  And it is junk.  There's not a decent hospital left.  Have you noticed how many accounts are g-o-n-e? disappeared, vamoosed, gone poof.


I'm sitting here thinking it is way past time to leave this business.  It is too complicated.  It has not become more standardized.  If anything it is more loopy - each place has a different platform, hospital rules they want you to follow for each thing.  Used to you could turn on a typewriter, put paper in the machine, type, put a sticker on it, and you were done.  Now it takes sometimes 3 months to get up to speed - NOT because you don't know medical terminology - you have to learn a specific platform (go buy special parts to use it), figure out new expanders, get special internet thingys, get wave pedals, throw away $$$ super stations and C-phones.  It's a joke.  They want us to cover all that just for the right to make squat for money.


 


Nope, I think it's time to pursue something else. 


 


 


That doesn't matter. A quick blood test, NOT 3 hours, would have settled that question.

I took that psych test, stupid. I got an email stating basically I didnt meet their needs or somethi
like that, but I know it was because the stupid psyche exam.
I just work with ShortHand minimized. Smarttype doesn't work the same way? nm
s
Yes, they do. If you can pass their test, you can work for them
We were all newbies at one time. There are companies that hire newbies. You just need to find them. Try the big nationals or small MTSOs with clinic notes. Or you can start out with Worker's Comp, physical therapy, chiropractors, vets, dentists or insurance, and then transition into full MT after you've finished your training and education. Try working on-site in a doctor's office or in a hospital. Once you've proved you can do the work, they'll often let you work at home. Be proactive instead of reactive.
Please leave an email or email me at my address....click the email button. Thanks...nm

Yes, but the test files are indicative of the actual work.
If the sound quality was so terrible, you didn't want to work there anyways! Right? I do know how you feel. I brain fahrvegnugened on the difference between brady and tachy. Now, everybody knows that one. I just got momentarily confused on it because I get "deer in the headlight" syndrome on oral testing.
Email me. I used to work with J too...
she lives in the town next to me and I can help you.
Yes, email. Is there enough work to go around?
A fair company with fair pay.  A dream come true.
Need Lanier ExWriter to test. Will VDI station or C-phone work or can I rerecord?

I am unfamiliar with the Lanier ExWriter. Can somebody please fill me in? I have a C-phone, VDI station, a call-in system with L.E.E.C.H. capabilities that can download work onto my system from another, or rerecord equipment. Can you access files from call-in systems like you can with a regular telephone and C-phone? How is the sound quality? I am not to thrilled with the .dss or WAV files.


Thanks!


Trying to take a test in Express Scribe and cannot get my foot pedal to work. I dont want to
cause a problem in DQS with the foot pedal either.  Any suggestions.  I have the foot pedal that you use for DQS.  It is an Infinity foot pedal.
No, I've never gotten an email about no work.
However, you could call or email the account supervisor and ask to train on another account. I find that with the smaller MTSOs, their accounts usually aren't even dictating on major holidays. It's nice to have the time off without having to beg for it like with the nationals.
wonder why my email didnt work??
That makes me wonder, I have been getting emails lately, it should be working.
Do you normally send your work each day as 1 email ? - sm
If that is the case, then make sure you save all the sent emails (I save it all) and then all you have to do is bring up her email address, select all the appropriate emails that were all ready sent, hit forward for all of them and enter in her email. Should take you less than 5 minutes to do all this and be relatively painless. --- if this does not work, yes, go for the billing route, she should be saving the work or at least keeping a backup copy of it for a min. of 3 months. I could see a file now and then but not all the time as she is doing. Very disorganized. Good luck.
Email from an Indian to do my work

I received the following email today and I am not sure what to do with it.  Should I report this to someone?  I would give my work to someone in the US before someone overseas!  gesh!


 


Here is the email below:


"Hi, i am monank from india, i have 6years of expirence i can help you to increase the line count, you can send me little bit of workevery day i will do that for you,you can pay me 5 cents per line & rest of the moeny will be your profit, in this way you can make more money."


What email? I work there and didn't get one.

That doesn't work either around here....sm

A few years ago I was working the 2nd shift and put huge signs up asking people to not ring the doorbell because I was working and I had given my neighbor the candy that was to be given away on my behalf... neighbor even told the brats when he gave it to them that it was from my house as most people get to his door before mine and they still ignored the information they had been given. 


If we didn't have 400 kids come through I wouldn't mind - but there are apartment complexes abutting our subdivision and the people from the apartments dump their kids by the car loads onto our subdivision to get the candy.  Our neighborhood association wishes it could block off the street for this 1 night a year to keep these goobers out!  I don't mind giving candy to the kids that I know but not to the rest of the world.


Yes, we see, as you go doesn't work very well, does it??? LOL!
x
No, doesn't work. Thanks, anyway. nm
:)
Okay, you work doesn't need QA because YOU are the QA...

and I should come down off my high horse? 


You have waaaaaay more education, so you automatically assumed that you could be an MT without any kind of MT training?  See, that's the problem, your attitude.  "Anybody can be an MT -- medical terminology, ha!  I've got a degree in tiddlywinks, surely I can do medical transcription."


Oh and your doctor never complains because he wouldn't know a misspelling or a grammatical error if it bit him in the...  Most doctors are far too busy to bother with such nonsense.  That's why they hire us because they hope we know what we are doing.


Oh and FYI, I do own my own business.  I am a QA consultant.  I offer my services to MTSOs for a fee.  I randomly QA their MTs and find those things the QA staff is missing because they are too busy filling in the million and a half unneccessary blanks left in reports by careless MTs.  I also keep one full-time, employee status job for the benefits and the steady pay-check.


doesn't work... sm
I posted below; read that for more info.

Even with the best dictator and the newest version of Dragon (which I use), while it CAN be done logistically, VR is not to the point where it understands naturally spoken English, even with the most clear speech. A person has to dictate in a very artificial manner. If the dictator knew in advance to dictate that way, maybe. But not very likely.

I have to speak in a very distinct manner when redictating my work.
doesn't work for me
if I type 3yo, it shows just that...it won't expand out to -year-old. And when I type 3 yo it leaves the space between the 3 and -.
doesn't let you work

My husband used to be like that until he was diagnosed 10 years ago with bipolar disorder.  He is also on disability and he knows that I really have to work, since I pay most of the bills.  He makes me breakfast and my 25 year old daughter who is still home shares with him the dinner meals.  So I just make sandwiches for lunch and that's it.  My daughter goes grocery shopping on Saturday or Sunday afternoon, as she works.


We have a great life NOW.


 


I wish you the best.


I work for 2, one knows, the other doesn't sm
One is an employee situation and I am not bound by contract not to work anywhere else, but I simply don't talk about it. My lead MT knows I work for someone else, but by the number of lines and time I put in, it would be hard to tell sometimes.

The PT job knows well about the other job and sometimes they forget I work a split and I have to go back, but usually this is not a problem.

There is a company who refused to hire me about 9 months ago because of who my FT is. I would have been considered to be "working for the competition" like this is a problem, as I keep my mouth SHUT and I don't talk about accounts from one company with the other company. I have some ethics and I took this personally. Give me some credit for some discretion and for some integrity!!
doesn't work for me
I have tried to save it just in Word when I am out of the platform and it doesn't work when I reopen Word in or out of the platform.  I sent a message to my employer but haven't heard anything back yet. 
For some reason my email to you wont work.
Can you email me, I put my email in with the first response.

Thanks to all of you for your words of encouragement. It is so hard living and working at home alone.

Your words have really helped more than you know:)

6 WEEKS...IT DOESN'T WORK...... sm

 


the "reason" it doesn't work is because it's been sitting in the box for 6 weeks.  LOL !  If I ever put my cookies down long enough to open it, I'll let you know. 


This doesn't necessarily work for others, but ...

when I feel upset, overwhelmed, or down about my situation, I try to think of how worse others may have it.  For instance, maybe your husband is facing 6 weeks of recovery from surgery... but somewhere out there somebody's husband has been delivered a grim prognosis and would give anything for a 6 week "recovery." 


You say you're an orphan... But looking on the positive side you do have a husband and children (however trying they may be at times), and someday they will have spouses and children and your family will be ever larger.  That's a good thing. 


Again, not to diminish your problems in any way, just trying to share how I sometimes help myself through tough times, by reminding myself that things can actually be much much worse.


doesn't work, hopefully he will learn....nm

...a new one if it doesn't work, but many times it does. nm

Mine doesn't work either
Mine does the same thing.  I think if you don't work on site, and just dial in, it won't keep track.  That's what the Lanier guy told me when he came to set me up, but when I worked in the hospital, it did keep track.
been there done that ...doesn't work...only causes more chaos...sm
but thanks for the advice. It's crossed my mind a million times...

Two wrongs just don't make a right...ever... To me...the only one being childish is the greedy cherrypicker...not the mature person trying to find a peaceful solution.

But that's JMO...thank you though...
Thanks, doesn't sound like something I want to work on. nm

*67 doesn't work on 800 numbers
Corporate numbers, 800 numbers, and government numbers often use a different form of caller ID. It's called a WATS line, and it records the originating phone number of EVERY call, not just the un-hidden ones.

Do this instead, if you decide to report something anonymously:

Go to a Dollar General, Family Dollar, whatever, and buy a Tracfone for $10. Activate it online from a public WiFi spot such as Panera's (NOT from your home desktop computer).

Use the Tracfone to call the 800 number. Throw away or give away the Tracfone after that - don't use it for anything else. Remove the battery immediately after the call. Place the call from a location as far away from your physical location of residence as possible.
Why doesn't she take the PC into the pool , that might also work...nm

leave your e-mail addy....nm

Tried to e-mail and said addy was not valid.
Most likely you would need a USB pedal or an adapter to convert any other type of foot pedal.  There are numerous options available as far as internet - cell phone, dial-up, WiFi, satellite, air cards.  It depends on how you will be traveling and where you will be staying.  You need to have a primary plan and a backup. 
job post had the dot com left off the addy, but...
even sending emails to the correct dmmt.com domain is pointless because they're not replying to them
They'll send an email out when they need extra work done.
The bonuses are tied to taking on extra work on top of your regular workload, not production or longevity.  It's per extra shift or per extra report on backlogged accounts.  Call and talk to them if you have any questions.
Vonage doesn't work all the time
I had AT&T but wanted to try Vonage. 2 a/c's - one was fine with Vonage (in fact better quality). The 2nd a/c is too tinny, etc and I can't use it. So try it out first.

This "business" thing seems to vary. When you ask them about a "business" a/c they told me I didn't need one. Now I am running into people all over who have phone cos bugging them about usage. LOL - it says "unlimited long distance" - it doesn't matter if you use it for friends or for dictation. I'd be curious to see what happens with a lawsuit, because they may lose. Business a/c's are generally for people with multiple lines and special needs re quick repair times. It has nothing to do with how much you use the phone to call one number.

I'd try confronting them with this.

I spec. told Vonage what I do and asked if I need a business a/c and they told me now also. See if they change.
