You should refer them to the testing site.
That's what I do when someone says they *would like to work at home, like you.*  I had someone tell me, quote, *You just type what the doctor says, right?*  I just looked at her and said, *Yeah, you're right.  I just type what the doctor says.*  ARRRGGGHHHH! 
Maybe try to find a good web site to refer to! Good luck NM
.
Think you need to refer this to your QA,
they are 2 words where I work.
It has nothing to do with having a spine as you refer to it..
As long as the place I work helps me pay my bills, raise my children, and treats me fairly, it doesn't matter to me.  You are never going to get the entire transcription community to do that.  If we were all alike and had the same opinion life would be very dull and we would all be like drones.  If you CHOOSE not to work for companies that outsource, that is fine with me, as that is YOUR CHOICE.  However, I am happy where I am and it gives me what I need in life.  I hope that you can be a bigger person and respect other peoples choices in life.  They need not all be like yours. 
What are these "loopholes" you refer to?
My DH has been in administration healthcare for over 20 years (national health care company). He says there is no "loopholes" that keep him from following the wage and hour laws, overtime is overtime, PERIOD!! Their MTs get paid overtime just like everyone else, and have no FORCED mandatory overtime.

You need to contact the wage and hour division PRONTO...something is stinky here!!!
so it's okay to refer to doctor as like a pig!!
but i suggest we might be more professional and MY post is deleted!!?? Good grief. What gives?
Yes, I agree here. You want them to refer you

You want to keep them happy within reason.  I doubt it would be that much of a bother.  You can write off the expense of the stickies and the travel. 


The other worry I have is setting up digital for an office just because I don't want to travel and have them go with another MT because they could get cheaper rates by already being digital.  You don't want that to happen.


Can you tell I'm a firm believer in tape work and loyalty? 


No matter what, there are things in this profession that you do that are sort of thankless, but I think in the long run if you like the account, you're better off just cutting the stickies and attaching just a small fee each month as Patti says.


Is there a manager for QA you could refer all these
x
Here's a nice one I refer to
This one has a good collection of ops.  See link below.
I'm sorry, but why would you refer to ?'s about ones puppy or what's for dinner
Not trying to start a flame or anything, but what's wrong with a few non-transcription questions here and there? It helps break up the monotony of the job, don't ya think?
We have a gal in our office who I refer to as the 'notetaker'. She's always got some e-mai
that lists this or that infraction. No one is immune. She just isn't happy unless everyone is unhappy and I think the complaints are really just a way to elevate her own status in her own mind.

Not everyone is like our "notetaker", but I've learned when it comes to work, do your best, meet your quotas and if you can have a little fun while doing it, then life is good. Pick your battles, don't sweat the little stuff, and you'll have a whole lot less stress to deal with.

JMO
I refer them to the job boards so they can see how much experience they need. sm
That is it. I don't deal with it anymore. I usually just write down the website and go take a look. You will see how much experience, etc. you need. Good luck.

I have learned from past experience.

Never hear anything again from that same person.


Refer to the Spouse Equity Act

You are entitled to coverage for 18 months...some of these responses just floor me!


You refer to ME as smug when you call sm

yourself "your fine self?"  That's rich.


I'm so done with this.  I'm amazed you have a job. 


A lot of physicians refer to their patients
as heterosexual or having same sex partners, it is very relevant in some aspects, as in exposure to AIDS/HIV, etc.
I still refer to myself as a 'transcriber' because I hate
I don't think any of us even CARE what the real name of that buncha shysters is.
Try to refer to ref sites and books
Sites like these help.
Why not? Other MT boards refer people here all the time?
Are we supposed to just pretend other sites don't exist?
It's not a fad. You need her doc to refer you to a therapist for her. Took my teen years to get

You'd be surprised!

An employer has the right to answer questions, but a prospective employer is limited as to what they can ask. Unfortunately, not enough smaller businesses know and follow these rules, thus a terminated employee ends up being blackballed.
Without having Word open to refer to, I'll see if I can help...sm
When you click on autotext to open it, it should be where you can type in a new entry. Type in the entry you want to delete, and when it is highlighted I think an option should show to delete. I hope this is right, but like I said, I don't have Word open and I may have missed a step. Hope this gets you started in the right direction anyway.
That's what I'm thinking, too. Our agency told us to refer ALL creditors to them
and they were awesome. I'm thinking she doesn't have a good one, either. She definitely needs to call them or switch agencies, like the one you mentioned, to help her.
We don't have to SAVE lists of mistakes to refer back to. They are readily available at any given
Believe it or not, that's the kind of stuff we see all day long on a daily basis. Your resentment for QA is shining through. Perhaps you recognize some of these errors....
Template lines usually refer to pretyped canned reports
These would include such templates like epidural steroid injections and such where you are just typing in patient demographics and the date of procedure, cataract surgeries, or whatever canned dictation the physicians have come up with so they can cut costs and not dictate. Make sure you are not always having to revise the templates constantly at no cost; otherwise, that is a good price.
Several companies still train on site. In fact, we are piloting an on-site training sm
program, where everyone would come in to the Keystrokes office to train for 1 or 2 weeks. We have a large training room and feel that this may be a way to cover all aspects of an account, be right there to answer questions as they come up and have one-on-one contact.

It will be optional at this point and may not be more effective as remote training, but some people have expressed that they miss the training that you get when you start at a hospital.

We are trying to bridge that gap between working in-house somewhere and working at home.

It may seem out-dated in many ways, but sometimes going back to basics is a good step to take!
I have noticed sometimes I will try to get into a web site and that site will freeze up and I dont

know if I have too many screens opened up and minimized or what. I tried to open a website sent by email and froze up the email screen. Not sure what I am doing.


I subscribe to another web site and within the boards on this site they have

Would anybody be interested if adminstrators would allow us to have this type of board or even put it on the main board.  Like on this other board they tell you to go to a certain web site for a coupon for 20% off Barnes and Noble or when Target has reduced prices on seasonal things.  Anybody got ideas or bargains they would like to share to save money?   We could call it the MT Stars penny-pinchers board.


Definitely one of the other board's people who refer to those on this board as "holy rollers,&
Now go ahead and post your reply - I know you're dyin' to!

LOL
need web site
Does anyone have a link for a good website for surgical references, op note references.
other site
unfortunately I'm pretty new here and don't know the other big web site, but would like to know what it is so I, too can see what other MQers are saying about this weekend....
other site
MT Chat
Job site

Does anyone know the site that is from A-Z with MT jobs posted? I certainly do appreciate your help.


what site is it?
buddies at work and it won't copy...
Go on their web site and see what
they really are.  (They also provide MTStars.)  They are a service for private contractors and service owners so as not to have to buy lots of and lots of electronic equipment but can use their servers, etc.  They are not a transcription service, it sounds like to me.  If  you read what they say, the provide a number for your doctors to call and then you can transcribe it or download it for 10 cents a minue (1 cent a line) and not have to buy a system yourself.  At least that is what it looks like to me.
I don't think there is a web site to
check it out - software is developed by in-house tech support. It is not perfect (nothing in this life is) but is a good tool to use in this job and I'm very happy with it. DRC has been a good place for me for the last 2 years or so.
There should be a web site
listing all these crap companies who won't pay. If I bounced a check at my local mom & pop pizza joint, you can bet it would be pinned to the wall for all to see.

However, back to the OP: The thing I would worry about would be the OP getting stiffed for the money AND getting a 1099 that included that sum. That would be a real kick in the pants.
Oh I will look at that site and see sm
if it has the wheelwriter or selectric on there. If so, I will definitely buy it!
on WM's site .. sm
Maybe you just didn't notice it. If you make a quick trip to the website and look at most any item, you should see it. Sometimes says similar items, similar artists, etc.

The story was on MSNBC so I think it is true. I'm surprised so many would jump and call someone else a liar without checking facts first. Washington Post released WM's apology at 8:24 this morning so I'm sure it was in other news segments as well.

FWIW, I agree with the OP that it was probably someone with extra time on their hands up to no good.
Here's one site that has (sm)
some different cuts.  Lots of tips on selecting a cut too!
PA site
Try the AAPA website--there's a FAQ portion that tells all about PAs and what they do.

What does FTP site mean?
Thanks!
Does the site have...
XXXXXX If so, I've been banned, too! If so, totally a case of "The Ego Has Landed."
FTP site
Is is difficult to learn how to operate a FTP site and how would one go about it?  It is all new to me and I'm a bit apprehensive. 
Yes, you can, go to the IRS site and they have - sm
and electronic payment system. You can have money paid to them every week, month, etc. I set up an account and was going to do about $50 a week, but alas I have not made any payments as yet. I usually don't owe though as my DH takes enough out of his taxes to cover mine. I will only start making payments if I go over a certain monthly income, since then I will probably owe and I don't want that.

This is where I got the bracelets.  http://www.magneticjewelry.name/


Didn't save the ring site so got to find that one again.  Don't know about what's in the bracelets, but the rings have worn some and look like them might be copper.  They were gold and silver when new, but underside has worn to look like copper.  Rings were $13.00 each.  Bracelets were probable about that 15-20.  Really don't remember.   I didn't get the cheapest or the most expensive.      


Here's a site that might help..
It has a lot of info on WP12, and some info on default settings. Maybe go to tools - settings - dialog box and see if you change it there.
