I'd say you need a grip. This is exactly why fewer MTs are commenting on here

In Reply to: Good grief. You'd make an employment decision - based on that?

They get blasted and basically reprimanded for giving an opinion. How about some common courtesy.

    Thank you for commenting....
    I guess we can all aspire to be "Professional" or More "Professional"....Unfortunately, even advanced MT's are not adequately compensated for the great job many of them do. We actually found "greener" pastures in an unrelated, but Still People-oriented field.... And a note to the aspiring newbies...many times one of the perks is...Discounted/Free Medical care (along with a better "insiders knowledge of the medical field"....many doctors realize the value of this essential service....Perhaps one day MT's will be generously compensated.
    If they are commenting on things that
    are specific to the account that you are not following, then you have to conform to their way. If there are inconsistencies between what they tell you from report to report, then refer the emails with an explanation to your supervisor for clarification as you are being told multiple ways to do the same thing.

    If they are telling you something that you just don't understand, then let them know that you can't change templates, what are they talkign about?, do you do you not correct dictators' grammar, etc. If you are on multiple accounts, then each account could be different as to being verbatim/not verbatim etc. There are a lot of things that could be going on that you, being new to the account, are not aware of as of yet.

    Growing Physician Shortage Could Jeopardize Care, Fuel Health Care Cost Increases
    [Jun 05, 2006]
    The Los Angeles Times on Sunday examined how "[a] looming doctor shortage threatens to create a national health care crisis by further limiting access to physicians, jeopardizing quality and accelerating cost increases."

    If you don't like the show, you could have skipped commenting.

    She was just wryly commenting on the MT environment...sm
    I'm sure she didn't mean to be unhelpful (nor did I in my post above). It's not really funny that we find ourselves competing with foreigners, and of course the economic situation probably isn't helping either since people who lose their jobs lose their health insurance too.

    We can't really offer much in the way of special advice except to encourage you to keep applying and knocking on doors until one opens. There are still some companies that don't outsource, and some clients that will not work with those that do, so don't give up.
    We love to help!, but we can only do so much when newbies don't have experience and fewer places
    ,
    I check no fewer than 5 websites or 5 google searches
    often I go further than that, but I've been doing this a long time and get stumped a heckava lot less than I used to.

    I basically search at least 5 different ways and check at least 5 websites before giving up. That's presumably after I've checked my own word books, of course.
    I think employees should leave fewer blanks and certainly know all the place names
    that an IC would be less interested in. And the employee should be diligent about area physician names that I wouldn't expect an IC to know as much about.
    August 24th. Can't wait for those bigger paychecks I'll get when I have fewer interuptions!

    Get a Grip

    Receiving your pay 30 days after you provided work isn't a problem for you?  I don't know about anyone else, but I certainly couldn't wait 30 days.  On top of that, when they begin to pay you every 2 weeks - they pay you for work you did 4 weeks prior.  You forgot to tell them that part!  Breitner is NOT a good place to work --- unless you don't need money and only work for the heck of it!


    get a grip!!!!!
    Yes, we have all seen on the news where that has happened.  usually it is because there is something wrong with the dog like a tumor or something.  Some breeds of dogs are also very aggressive.  I think that if you choose a good breed that is good with kids and train them correctly and treat them with love, you are pretty safe.  i have been around dogs all my life, even as a young child and have never even been bitten by a dog once!!!
    Seriously!!! Get a grip.

    "Me" is right. 


    get a grip...
    She asked for some tips. Just wanted other peoples advice of how to go about doing this and what would some of the best points be to go into. You try giving a speech to a bunch of high school kids. Harder than you may think I am sure. What is the harm in someone asking for pointers?
    You must not have a grip to be a tad rude by
    saying get a grip people. I still do not believe it. Show me the money and only then will I believe it. Also, when I get offered more than 6-9 cpl for straight transcription will I believe it.
    grip? lol you mean "gripe"? lol
    ?
    let her decide. she already has a grip on
    the passing away part but that doesn't mean she is ready for the open casket and long viewing hours at the funeral home.  this way she can still picture grandma how she was and not in the casket which can be a little unsettling for adults sometime.  if she wants you guys to take her to the grave site sometime to say her goodbyes then take her.  i remember writing a so called goodbye letter to my grandfather when i was a kid telling him about all of the things i'll always remember and loved about him. that way i was able to get out my feelings and i still have something to look back and read so i'll never lose my (all of it anyway) memory of him.
    Get a grip - EMRs have nothing to do with
    You are a perfect examply of why MTs are losing their jobs.  Ignorance in the MT field has become more and more widespread in this country WITHOUT leaving the United States. 
    Was probably thinking she needs to "get a grip," too.
    x
    yeh, we have to have a tight grip on our social graces

    We'll start walking around wanting to backhand everyone who looks at us sideways.
