Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

Geez. We can't even conduct civil communications in this country

Posted By: . on 2005-09-11
In Reply to: You come on here attacking US MTs. - sniff, sniff

...or have civil discourse or intelligent argument. It goes to name calling every time. That is SO embarassing to our country.

The "troll" name calling and other such juvenile antics/responses and the like. Embarassing. People should try and engage in respectful disagreement. No one will listen to you if you're calling them names like an ignoramous. (Note the use of word "LIKE", implying "similar to", not saying you are ignorant.) Have some self respect and do better than that.

And NO one was "attacking" anyone. Lighten UP. If you're that miserable, for God's sake, change careers.

Code of Conduct
This thing is REALLY for the ones that got all the lawsuits started, now WE have to suffer. At least we get paid for probably the most boring hour on earth!!
Code of Conduct Training Course

Has any other MQ MTs gotten an email to complete this training course?  It says  "MQ has always prided itselt in doing business ethically." Since when??  What a joke!!


Criminal and Civil Resources

Hi Becka ,


I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties. It sounds like this Robin person (I don't know anything about her other than what I have seen you post here) if these claims are true (I have no reason to doubt they are) is committing theft and fraud. Contacting  the Labor Board (federal and state) suggestion is a good idead , but if she is doing this across state lines (that is she is in one state and conducting business with people residing in other states) she is subject to criminal prosectuion by the federal government. I would suggest you go to the U.S. Attorney's office nearest you and see about filing a federal criminal complaint against here. Of course , you also have an avenue for recovery of wages owed you by here through the state / federal district courts , as well.


did everyone graduate MQs "Code fo Conduct" course? -- what a crock
that's like you stealing my purse and then sending me to class on how not to steal purses....
Civil Service/Government MT Jobs?

Hi all, I am wondering if any of us work as an MT for any government agencies, V.A. hospitals,  military bases, etc.  And if so, how is the pay rate.  Is the hiring process difficulty.  THANKS!


I am going broke, looking for a more lucrative 2008.


 


well wait til your daughter hits someone. You will lose everything in that civil lawsuit.
I mean, how ridiculous is that. Letting a 14.5 year old to get more experience. Sheesh. Let her drive at 16 with you and let her drive alone at 18, if you want her to have more experience. There's a reason why the driving age is 16, not 14.
VERITY COMMUNICATIONS
Has anyone ever heard of Verity Communications from Missouri?  Advertise direct dial flat long distance rates from 1000 minutes to 18,000 minutes at reasonable rates.  Still looking for an unlimited long distance carrier.  Talk America doesn't have the $49.95 plan in my area and I really don't want to pay 0.05/minute.  Most unlimited plans have 5000 minute limit and everything over that is considered excessive.  Those of you on MCI-...........BEWARE.... will drop you like a hot potatoe.  I had 13,000 minutes last month on my work phone.  Not so on my personal line and they dropped me from there also.  Will not let me on the 0.05/minute plan either.  Infringement on the deal.  Told me the number I was calling was a fax number.  Another rep said I was using it for internet.  There is a company that says the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.  I had to talk to about 10 people over this "high toll" issue.
Just read that Nuance Communications
acquired eSription for $400 million. They also own many other VR systems, such as Dragon, Dictaphone, and Proscribe. Apparently, they would like to dominant the VR market.

Perhaps all MT work will move in the VR direction eventually. I wonder if private doctors' offices will institute VR too?
If you are being hounded by a company called Technion Communications, go to their

website at the link below to be added to the do not call list. 


It is our understanding that many MTs are being solicited at all hours of the day and night by this company.


Check out Executive Communications. Typically, their products are more

affordable than Transcription Gear.  Once you click on the link below, click on Headsets from the menu on the left, scroll down and you will see several stethoscope headsets


I've gotten my equipment at Exec Communications. SM for link

Anyone use Cox Communications for unlimited long distance? Just wondering how their service is.
There aren't too many reasonable choices here in the Midwest, unless you know of some out there.  Thanks for the input!
Ah geez (sm)
Well, that's what I get for trying to insert my own images  Just use your imagination.  *sigh*
Geez
By saying it was the way they talk I meant with an accent on the word as not all doctors say it that way. I was just trying to help and gave more information than some and do not appreciate the way people are sometimes treated on here.
to oh geez
Here here sister!!!!
Geez, the pay keeps going down. SM
Just saw an ad on the MT Jobs board for an experienced Transcriptionist (of course, they want the best) and the pay is 8 cpl for a 75 character line.  What's with these companies? 
geez
get a life. don't you have some work to do, or something?
Um, geez
I authored the message you responded to, and nowhere did I mention a personal preference for healthcare in Canada, or any other country for that matter. Yes, I posted a list from WHO that ranks healthcare among participating countries. Yes, Canada is on that list, but was the furthest thing from my mind when I copied and pasted that list into my post. Honestly, I don't find 30th place to be notably better than 37th place.

That said, I would love to visit Canada some day, but for healthcare I would seriously consider France (if it were an option for me, which it is not . . . nor is it necessary at this stage of the game).

Now, I have a question for you . . . How would you like to die, or even JUST suffer in pain, on the floor of the ER floor while a janitor mops around you (saw the video of that with my own eyes) and while two people have to call 911 in a futile attempt to save your life because nobody in the ER will care for you?
Oh geez, she's at it again.

GEEZ
what the heck is wrong with you?  If she is an IC she is not cheating or scamming.  And even if she is an employee, how would that be scamming and cheating.  Did she says she is falsifying records?  You have absolutely no information to base these accusations on.  Man, talk about jumping to conclusions!  
OH GEEZ
lEgitimate oh so sorry. Please, please, review all my other posts. God knows I should not err.

The problem with these boards is that someone wants to discuss something and someone else just wants to nitpick.
Geez, here we go! nm

oh geez....
We had a doc that when he said right colectomy, it sounded just like rectalectomy. If I was daydreaming I would transcribe rectalectomy but would always catch myself...except for once. I got his DS when he dictated it and he said "procedures done....rectalectomy...what the heck is that?" I knew I had made the mistake. To my knowledge, he never sent it back because I never heard about it. He must have just written through it. I could have just died!!
geez

Haaaaaa.  Just awful.  I had one where VR picked up:  The patient's blood pressure is at SCHOOL today.  


Should have been:  The patient's blood pressure is at GOAL today.


 


LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL


I meant the other way around! GEEZ

geez, you seem so hostile!

Geez, sounds like just about everyone I know!

Oh, geez! Too funny!
My house has a shortage of coffee filters all the time, so I never use those.  I like that Homestyle microwave popcorn made with real butter, but my fingers get so greasy that I have to keep a wet washcloth on the desk to wipe it off between typing.  I'm going to have to try your idea, though.
geez louise
If you're doing all that and with two jobs, I have a couple questions for you.  How the heck do you do it?  Whats your secret?  Do you get hand and arm pain whatsover???  You're doing a lot of lines.  How do you do it?
Geez, I'm sorry this offends you. I have,
Too bad I can't give you one for a shrink...sounds like you need it.
Geez, I fit the experience she needs, but
she sounds too demanding and high maintenance.  Evenings and weekends, no thanks!!!  I want this, I don't have time for that, no phone calls, need ASAP.  No MT experience required and no offer of line rate.
Geez, come on. I saw all of the OSi posts,
Yes, somebody is sticking up for OSi all over the place. However, I don't know what is so "transparent."  Somebody asked a question directly related to Smartype.  I use Smartype and I work for OSi, and my Smartype works fine in Extext.  For what it's worth, I post here on these boards about 5 times a week, sometimes on the word board, sometimes on the company board.  I check in when I'm eating lunch or taking a break.  I don't waste my time reading and posting all day long.  I just get tired of never even being able to answer someone's question.  What's with that?
Geez, RAD GUY, got my hopes up there - sm
thought is something new on the market to replace Viagra!!!
Geez!! Take a note of the pay.

Isn't being a medical Transcriptionist being an interpreter.  Seems like our pay ought to be commensurate, don't you think? 


Absolutely not, never. Geez. nm
.
They pay $20,000? Geez...that would tempt me!
Yeah, I think it is funny how they will pair one very conservative family with a very liberal family, or a hunter with a strictly veggie family. People would not want to watch as much if it went all smooth, human nature.

What did the other family think about how they were portrayed, or did you even have the chance to find out?
geez, do you have a family?
How bout kids? Spouse? I don't think your *work ethic is above* most peoples, just seems that maybe you don't have a life...might want to try one before it's too late!
And "harrumph!" to you, too! Geez....
.
Geez this gets me excited!
I just ordered this program yesterday and am SO anxious for it to arrive.  I have been an MT for about 4 months using only the Expander build into Inscribe.  I have a feeling my whole world is about to change.  THANKS for all the participation on this thread
ah, geez, Edith.
nm
geez, you guys.
You will find that everywhere you go with every job. Where there is a group of women working together, you will have all of that crap. It's the way of the world!
geez louise, where are you from emt?
hope you're not an MT.
blame the victim, geez
You people crack me up.  Blame the victim and her family.  For pete sake.  You sound like the type of person who would blame a rape victim cause she was wearing a short skirt.  The Aruban Govt thinks that boy is guilty, that is why they are holding him.  He is guilty, IMHO.  His story has changed several times.  If you are innocent, you have one story.  He left her on the beach, come on, who would leave a young girl, not familiar with the area, on a beach at 2-3 in the morning?  The person at fault?  The person who murdered her or kidnapped her and I think it is that obviously well off son of a high ranking lawyer.  Instead of pointing fingers at her family, we should be sending prayers and hope.
blame the victim, geez
Sorry, but if you dont' want to get picked up and treated as such, don't go to places like that p. e. r. i. o. d. And yes, some women ask for it maybe not intentionally, but it happens. People need to start taking reponsibility for their stupid decisions.
Geez, at least give her credit for trying. At least, sm
if didn't work out and she had to go inhouse, at least she could say she tried. No harm in that, at least that is my opinion.
You really need to get a life. Geez, you even managed to
troll a fun poll post.  Sounds like a personality disorder to me.  Maybe you're the one who needs a romantic outlet.  Gotta rain on everyone else's parade because you're so miserable.
Geez. It's a method to be more accountable for
a minimum amount of work.
She was being facaetious about the big bucks..geez.

Geez..a little snippy aren't we?
not
Geez, you missed my point.
Benefits are not mandatory.


Geez, Kate/Medtrans, are you OCD?
