Hmmm. That's food for though. My company - sm
did not offshore. Was purchased by a company that does. Oddly enough, that's about the time I started getting so MUCH spam in my inbox that I have to clean out 20-30 spam messages every 4 or 5 hours. (This is WITH firewall, anti-virus, pop-up blocker, etc.)
We have to keep 'updating' our software with their downloads... I wonder if the two things - major spam + downloading 'new company software' - are related?
Sounds like a TN company to me???? nm

That sounds like a company I used to work for....
that paid monthly and it was NEVER on time. Checks bounced, 1099's late, and excuses after excuses. I even had to threaten a lawsuit to get paid my final check! I would certainly not quit your other company before you have some time under your belt with the new company to see how things are going to be.
Sounds like the company I work for.
Not only do they have various account specs but I get samples but NOT the dictators!  What good does that do me? 
That sounds to me like possible outsourcing at your company.
That is a long time to pass for the doctors to be dicating on their patients..I have seen that before with an old company I worked for and they were outsourcing come to find out...just putting a bug in your ear!!!
It sounds like she's scamming the insurance company
and pocketing the money. I'd inform the chiropractor directly and let him know you're going to tell your insurance company that the charges are not legitimate unless he puts a stop to it. If you inform the insurance company, he's the one who's going to be in hot water. That should end the fraudulent charges. If they don't stop, then follow through and inform the insurance company and let them face the consequences. There's no earthly reason a 9-year-old child should be visiting a chiropractor regularly. The ex is a thief, without a doubt.
What company is this? Sounds like the same song and dance
nm
Sounds like the company I work for. That is why morale is
xx
Sounds like the company wins 2 ways - (sm)
1) They get to pay you less because you are making fewer lines.

2) They have a capable MT doing their tougher work that they of course can't give the newbies.

What's wrong with this picture? The answer: They should be paying more per line, the more difficult the account is, and enough so that you (as a seasoned employee who does accurate work) are making MORE than you did as a new hire, NOT less!
Sounds like your company handled it wrong there.
Was the company threatening the MTs? It sounds like the account was threatening the company to leave.

If your company did nothing to let the MTs know they were not in danger, the company failed.

There is nothing wrong with MTs knowing that an account is in danger of quitting but the company needs to let the MTs understand whether or not that will effect their employer relationship. Two tee-totally different topics.

Sounds like a company I worked for called
f
Sounds like total opposite of the company I am working for...
My pay is quite good, rarely talk to my manager, been very flexible with me. Goodness, sure you are talking about the same Medware?
Hmmm
If that comes to pass with the hospital that I work for (my full-time job) I sure hope they switch us back to being paid by the hour, or better yet, I hope I will still have a job!
Hmmm, well
the fact that you have to continue to state over and over that you will be making so much money leads me to believe that you won't be making that much money. You must really not have a life if you are working all day to get all of your lines in and then you are on here all night, as well. Sorry for you. If you really seriously aren't no whining, which I doubt, I hope you too don't have children because you obviously are neglecting them as well.
Hmmm, where is your
husband? Better check, I think he is calling me from his cell phone because you are soooooo frigid.
hmmm
Soo much for college... I thought that I was wasting my money. I spent 40,000 on that thing to get a job.
Hmmm...
What I truly want:
1) My retired parents to have more income and be able to travel more;
2) My oldest son to learn happiness is a choice, not just the result of whatever life hands him;
3) My youngest son to keep the same motivation he has now and add a little more self-discipline to his direction;
4) My sisters and extended family to be satisfied and content with their lives and the energy to change whatever it takes to get there.
5) A photographic memory for myself. Hahaha

The list could go on but those are my top 5 and it is a rather personally indulgent list. Hahaha
Hmmm
I don't understand that either.  Odd.
Hmmm.
I wonder if I might just be use to stiffer keyboards though.
hmmm.
Yeah, I don't know if I can agree with "just be glad it's video games" either. I tried to think of it that way for a long time, but it has just gone too far. Oh, I forgot to add that once he got off his computer so I could unhook the internet, he just sat there in his chair with a mad look on his face and watched me until I got off.

No, we have our own computers. We share the internet connection through a router though.

I really wouldn't mind if he played the game if it didn't cause so much problems in our household. He really needs to be a father to our children. I cannot work with our child screaming because she isn't getting any attention. He should really help out because I work about 14 hour or more days now.
Hmmm...
I thought Katherine looked absolutely gorgeous in that dress; after all she is not a child and that was mild compared to how they dress in Hollywood! Maybe some people who are not big rock fans don't connect with Chris
but he is a way better singer than Taylor and Elliot, hands down...he aced that song and was amazing. I do like Elliot too but think it will be down to Chris and Katherine. Can't stand Paris or Taylor (gives me the creeps with those jerking movements)and glad Pickler is gone who had absolutely no talent and as the other poster said only lasted as long as she did because of the vote-for-the-worst website! All JMO. ; )
hmmm but if it were to get too
expensive for them wouldn't they just find editors who would be happy to do work for 2 or 3cpl? I just don't see how this would "flush" their profits.
Hmmm - then I don't like her either.
Oh well "So you think you can dance" starts Thursday.
Hmmm....
no thankx
Hmmm, let's see!
Helping them with homework; my aunt did that with her daughter for years. Now she's in college and on her own and not doing all that great on her own. Waking your kid up personally; my mom did all my childhood life and to this day I have an extremely hard time getting up and am not real punctual and often late because of that. Paying kids for chores; teaching them that all good deeds deserve payment. I agree with Inquiring Minds 100%! To each his/her own though! :)
hmmm... this may be it!! Thanks!

Hmmm
That's odd. I think it only works if you have microsoft office, not just the basic. I can't remember though. It is a great system once you get it to work. :-)
Hmmm.
The only rudeness I have read is from you. If you thought the first post was rude, you need thicker skin.

People, for the most part, are trying to be helpful. People also make mistakes so instead of jumping all over someone who did make a mistake AND apologized, why don't you get over it and move on?
Hmmm
I read through your entire post, which was very long, and it left me thinking a few things.

First of all you really should invest in seeing a doctor. Most hospitals will treat you, and bill you later. At which point in time, you can make payment arrangements. Get yourself taken care of. You sound like you are at your wits end. Well, when you hit rock bottom there's no where to go but up, right?

Then...get a job. A real job that pays you regularly. You don't have to work there for the rest of your life, but you do need to survive. Is it not possible for you to suffer through a regular job to pull yourself out of this misery? Heck...they might even offer you health insurance!

Another thing, I am about your same age, and I have no pity for people that don't want to help themselves. See, life is hard, really hard at times. No one said it would be easy did they? I work full-time nights at a 'regular job,' go to school, and have a family to take care of. There comes a time when you have to grow up and learn to take care of yourself. Sometimes that entails hard work and some suffering. There is no growing or maturing without a little strife. You can get through this. There is life beyond where you are. You have to want it, though. You can't just sit cooped up in your apartment investing your time in something that is obviously not working.

The answer for you is very simple and easy: If you don't like what you are doing and how you are living then *change* it. Start doing something different...or you'll keep getting the same results.


Hmmm

I am running into the exact same thing actually.  I won't get paid for MARCH'S work until mid May!  I am an IC and even at that I don't even submit an invoice.  The company pays me for what their client pays them for.  If you ask me, I very much prefer working for companies that pay right on time based on the exact invoice you submit. 


Hmmm, that's odd...
that's not at all what you said in your post above.

Perhaps if posts didn't start out as insulting or trying to get a rise out of people, there wouldn't be attacks. I guess I'm confused, but I don't understand what kind of helpful advice, motivation, positivity or friendliness you were looking for by a post saying why does everyone on here complain, makes me feel like suicide, find a new job, etc.

Maybe if you tried starting a positive thread, one that promotes friendliness or positivity, you'd get positive responses.
Hmmm .... look at it this way
If by saying 2 units of Pitocin, it is referring to it as a single dose, it would be WAS. Whereas, if it were referring to multiple doses, then it would be WERE.

Am I making sense? :)
Hmmm
Talk about sarcastic ...... ! Take it easy.
Hmmm
CMT but cant do ops? how did you pass?
Hmmm, let's see...

You "told us" what, exactly?  All who posted previously were well aware that this could happen again.  The point was that it was the first time Lisa had worked with this physician.  Giving them the benefit of the doubt was the appropriate thing to do.


Regarding the meeting, no, I do not believe you should be paid for the meeting.  Why?  Because the meeting should have taken place at the very beginning when you decided to accept them as a client.  A contract should have been prepared and signed at that time.  Since, as far as I am aware, that was not done originally, then it should be done at this meeting.  If it were done at the beginning, you would not charge for the meeting because you would be in the process of trying to negotiate a contract with them (i.e., consultation).


I do agree that you should not listen through and record all patient names before transcribing.  From this point on, you need to make it clear that you will need to be paid for everything you transcribe (per your new contract you sign during your meeting), which should have been explained very clearly after the first time this happened. 


Hmmm
How about The Daily/Monthly Emesis. lol,jk.
Hmmm, that could be
a problem if left available to anyone, but I don't see why it would be set up that anyone in the hospital setting would have access.

Plenty of companies have classified information that only certain people can access. I would think the information would be protected from those who have no business accessing it.
Hmmm, do you have all day? : )
Sooooo many things ... not pausing at all between sentences. Sometimes certain things could logically be the last part of one sentence OR the beginning of the next sentence, so it's just a crap shoot.

Changing their minds (or maybe not) when you can't tell for sure if you are supposed to eliminate some of what they already said or not.

Suddenly speaking very low or actually leaving out a few words at a time. I have one who does this all the time and will literally grunt (and other odd noises) rather than say some of the words. (You've gotta wonder how some of these people speak in person!?)

Throwing in tons of punctuation (wrong and waaaay more than would ever be in a normal sentence). Why doesn't someone tell them not to punctuate? We don't follow it anyway ... HELLO!!
hmmm...
If you know, or talk to your provider, and find out how fast your satellite line is you may be able to include that information in a cover letter. Many times a satellite is just as fast as DSL, but is considered unreliable in most areas becasue storms and the like can knock them out and then you can't "show up" for work cosistantly. Apply for the jobs and put down that you have satellite - list the company you go through and the speed and find out how often the service goes down in your area. Just knowing this information looks good to recruiters and I'll bet someone cuts you some slack and gets you hired.
Hmmm...
I think no one can afford to buy the darn books anymore since the wages are crappy.
Hmmm...
... I've done ortho for well over 20 years (among other things) and when I started, all I had was a Dorland's and a PDR (and a typewriter).

If you're good at Googling, and if you have sample reports available, you should have no trouble picking it up. Just write down unfamiliar words for future reference (I still have the little mini loose-leaf binder I started in 1976) and save lots of sample reports on your own system--especially ones that have been through QA, so theoretically they will be correct....

And you can always yell for help on the word help forum here.

Do you know if you'll be doing just clinical ortho, or is it going to include op reports? My own ortho experience is 99.9 percent clinical.
LOL LOL LOL? What do you know about my attitude? LOL
I know you are management and you know what? You can't put out this fire. Attitude? Why I'll just tell my mortgage company that my attitude was bad, I got a bad QA report because I couldn't interpret ESL dictator and could I please not have them foreclose on my house. Attitude indeed. Check own queenly gotta be right I'm better than you lowly MT attitude yourself.
you can keep your attitude to yourself
The information I got was in the email, not on actual paperwork.  If you don't want to answer, then go but somebody else.  I understand the concept of work more, get more, DUH yourself. 
Attitude
I am truly sorry if I offended. The question itself sounded kinda "duh" to me. Again, I apologize. I've been 46 hours with no sleep and okay, so my brain is not on it's best functional mode.

I am utterly at a loss for words now as I honestly meant no offense.
wow, what an attitude he has!
Well, I am sure glad that I do not work for THAT company! Seems this outsourcing thing is getting WAY out of hand. He moans about not having enough MTs in this country - I think that they just need to get the pay per line rate up some (pay us what WE are actually worth for once, and quit sending it ALL overseas so that these companies can "SAVE MONEY??"). I would like HIM to live on what WE have to live on!!
i like your attitude
excellent point
Someone with her attitude needs to
go elsewhere. With her around, I was almost dreading coming on the board sometimes. She is always looking to start an argument or putting somebody down. I, for one, am glad to see her go, and only pray she stays gone. What a drag!!!
Attitude is everything.
My impression of your post is that management never gets it right; only you do. I wonder if they could ever do anything right in your eyes.

It's too bad that there are so many people out there with the attitude that the company is "out to get them". There are a lot of good companies and people running them out there--just as there are good MTs.

If I work with someone like you, I'm sure I already avoid you because I don't want to be around such a negative attitude; if you work at home, I'd like to say "thanks for staying home".
With your attitude you should do the same
Since the only thing you can come away with from this discussion is "give up and do something else"!
Certainly, with that attitude...
You will have a difficult time achieving anything positive in life, connections or not.
Are you serious? The only attitude so far has been yours! nm
