I agree - thought the show was borning - NM

Thank you. I agree. Lack of enthusiasm in my work is bound to show up

Agree to the concept but what I would offer is to show the doc the advantages of going digital and
most of them want to buy new toys anyway. As an MTSO, I stay up on the latest technology that will help all of us do our jobs better. For example, what if he has a stat report? That can be dictated and posted to the FTP site, done and back to the office in 15 minutes. Can't do that with tapes. Plus with digital files, you can copy them as you transfer, so there's a file in the software program, one on the ftp site and one at your office, just in case somebody gets erase happy. I feel the quality is better. Once in a while I get somebody who has a phobia about the big bad Internet but I would at least sit down with them and explain some things. Most fear comes from ignorance anyway.
If you can show proof you did this work for them, they then have to show they paid it in order

If you could just QA for 1 day and see the absolute

garbage that QA people have to deal you might understanding where they are coming from.  I don't agree with constant negative feedback.  I do agree if the MT is wrong that corrections should be made and passed along.  I don't believe additional comments need to be made about errors, unless they are repeated errors.  I have had QA people correct things and make snide remarks about how style changes were made months ago and that I had previously received other information, etc.  In every case in which the QA person made such comments I proved her wrong.  I also complained to the MTSO and the person was taken off of QA.


If you are expecting positive feedback, in most cases it isn't going to happen, but I'm a believer that if you tell someone what they are doing wrong, you also need to tell them what they are doing right.


I try to be adult about it, and if I have made a mistake I make a note of it so that I won't do it again, but if I'm corrected for something that I'm not doing wrong I go back to QA with it.   Almost every time QA has come back with you are correct, but and then tell me how they do things or add in a few more cutting remarks I go to the QA manager.


I work in a very particular account and they are frequently changing the way they want things done, but they want them the way they want them, doesn't matter what BOS says, doesn't matter that we are all in agreement that they are incorrect, we have to do them that way.  It may seem nitpicking to the MT that some things are being corrected because they aren't really wrong maybe, but it isn't what the account wants. 


 


Absolute BS
Baloney! Money talks and if insensitive cruel people buy shocking devices to control their animals, then these collars will be put on the market. Unfortunately in our society, there are no restrictions on who can own an animal. No background checks or mental health requirements. Anybody may own an animal and do with it pretty much what they want. The only qualification necessary is money--not compassion or sensitivity toward the animal--just money. And the same is true of these collars. If they sell, then humane or not, they are put on the market. How sad for the poor unfortunate animals in this world to have such an owner who would actually try to justify shocking them! Anybody incapable of training an animal without shocking it should NOT be allowed to own one.
I absolute would not not marry someone because of their last name!
I would keep my own last name as I plan to do whether I like his or not.
You are an absolute angel! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

Please, you owe them the absolute truth as you know it. SM
Not to discourage them, but it is of the highest importance that every person preparing to enter the workforce understands that for any job not tied to a specific geographic location in some way he is potentially in competition with the entire planet's workforce. English as the universal language is definitely a two-edged sword. But it also means they come ready equipped with an extremely valuable tool-fluent English.

To do anything else would be profoundly immoral and potentially do someone great harm.

The AHDI website has a section on questions frequently asked about MT that would probably be a great help in putting together your talk. It also has a report on Scenarios and Solutions for the Future" of MT. Different scenarios because they just don't know where we'll be.

You could include in your talk suggestions for related work they can also train for that is more geographically tied, such as tumor registrar and ?, and ? Nursing and hospital tech fields, of course, but when you come up with some more of those that still can be mostly done at home, you can come back and tell the rest of us about them.
my ABSOLUTE favorite is...
the alt+tab to navigate between open windows. just hold in alt and tap on tab to see what you have open and let go when you are resting on what you want.
I got your apology and it is absolute accepted!
Thanks!
I find that surfing the net is an absolute no-no

when I have a bunch of work to do at night.  I try to get up and walk through the house, do a simple chore, get something to drink even if just water, helps me.  If I find myself actually falling asleep while typing it is definitely time for bed because then I have to relisten to my entire dictation to make sure it is good.  My DH is always telling me to go to bed at a decent time and get up early and I'll be more productive, which is really true if you are that tired.  With my work if I'm not out of TAT, I pick the easy/short jobs first and leave the longer/more difficult ones until I've had some rest.   While I may still have lots of minutes left, I don't have as many reports and I feel that I have accomplished something. 


 


The absolute worst company out there!

What is your absolute favorite cake?

If you had to pick just one cake, what would it be?  I love just about any kind of cake, but I have to say honeybun is my all-time favorite.  I think I could eat the whole thing if I tried. 


Any other absolute favorite desserts?  Oatmeal candy has been at the top of my list since childhood.  My mom always made it at Christmas and now I always like to do the same.  Yummy!


Op notes are my absolute favorite. I can almost
double my line count when transcribing them. You don't have to spend time looking up medications, diseases, etc. Once you get the language/terms down, they move fast. Also, you can create many "normals" if you are doing the same docs over and over on common procedures - T&A, hysterectomies, cholecystectomies, etc.
SS is the absolute worst company. They offer
you the world to get you to stay, but it is a dead end job.  $14.00 is NOT a good rate and twice that is not worth it.  You will work like a dog and get treated like one.   Not a nice thing to say about them.  
That is absurd and an absolute untruth. Please don't make
assumptions based on others posts.  Email addresses are kept confidential through this website.  If anyone has any questions about this, email me.  I'll be happy to respond.
Yuk, sewer backup is the absolute worst. sm
We rented a house for a year about 20 years ago, about 10 houses from where we live now. Every time it poured, the sewer backed up into the basement. Once we had water, 4 feet high too, and it stopped filling about 5 inches from the fuse box. We stayed through the winter and then the foundation cracked. That was enough. We bought a house with a dry basement. I swear, we had everything come in through the sewer-waste, toads, salamanders, you name it. It was gross. As a matter of fact, they put in a back flow valve too. Then the neighbors had the problems. The house is now on the market for over a year. No one wants it.
Why? M-TEC & Andrews produce the absolute best grads.

I need absolute silence in the background when transcribing. sm
Even nice sounding music bugs me. Silence, please
The absolute worst IMHO is the dictator
who loads up his mouth to capacity with marbles and then proceeds to talk.
Then you are an absolute FOOL. Down the road, you'll wish you were never involved

ll


Absolute worst quality sound files in my
20 year career, the worst ESL dictators (and I currently do about 95% ESL), horrible management, system not user friendly, technical support a joke, .....   I wouldn't wish this company on my worst enemy.    Don't know anything about the other company, though several recent posts about them don't have anything good to say. 
Absolute truth, I had problems like this until trying the Mary Kay Satin Lips. sm
There are 3 parts, a balm, mask and triple-action enhancer. I used it twice a day for less than a week and the chapped lips are gone. It really does work and is worth it.
Christmas tree blobs are my absolute fave. Send some to me. nm

love, love, love the show. hate american idol. this show is for real.
the only reason i entertained watching it was because of mark burnett and as usual he has such genious casting and editing. btw, don't know who anything about "metal" music but these performers make me like it. love marty and jd as performers. HATE JESSICA. susie is so nice and so emotional. it seems they all support each other and enjoy each others skills. regarding ty and bob marley, ty was excellent but he also lucked out on the song! bob marley was genious too and his music is very easy to listen to. i don't like 3/4 of what the others are given to sing but their performances make me love the music. dave navarro shines on this show, very gracious for the most part and letting the contestants down easy when they have to leave. he was great last night with brandon (?). sweet, sweet show. i am so impressed with everyone involved.
Agree, agree, agree! Just listen to Benny Hinn..

he speaks perfect English, especially when asking for money!  Also, in my opinion, blanks should be left in the doc's dictation if not able to be transcribed, maybe then they will know that are NOT understood.  With QA fixing them, what need is there for them to care if we understand them or not? 


I think this goes to show you that SM

when a person goes to another place with the proper attitude (respecting the culture already there, appreciating it and being open to new experiences) you can have a wonderful time.


I think sometimes we in the U.S. have such a need to fashion everything into OUR way of doing things it ruins our ability to appreciate different countries/cultures.


show
I love the show. I think the people learning to dance are very brave. I love George H. too! Looks like a lot of hard work and that it is definitely outside their comfort zone. Good for them!
This just goes to show you that when the
first letters are right and the last couple are right, the mistake is easily missed. No spelling police here, right!?!
It won't show up. it says
1. How much money did you make?
2. Send it to us.


Yes, I know how to show myself as
offline on instant messenger. Sorry, I misunderstood the post. That doesn't make someone stupid because they don't know how to, though. I had never even used instant messenger until about 3-4 months ago. It is a learning process and no one should ever be called stupid because they have not yet learned something.
New to the show
Only recently started watching this show. What is wrong with his leg and why does he pop all those pills?
was that the show with the...
Dumb guy and his *polyfidelity* mumbojumbo??? I just saw bits and pieces of it, but boy if that was my husband...well let's just say he wouldn't be my husband...or anyone's husband...for long! Whatta jerk!
What a show!
That guy was the biggest peice of trash I ever saw. Sometimes it just blows my mind why people as stupid as him want to come on national TV. Does he not realize he is a complete and utter fool? His wife is not much better either. UGH - She is only staying for the children and that is a shame. Honestly, I didn't really see any love between them.
About the show
I think personally that Paula is a little flaky, nevertheless, I can say I didn't notice anything different from her last night. As stated below, Carrie started the show. It was just a regular show I thought. No exciting moments, other than that nasty Brenna going home. She was pouring that "get money" thing on really thick. Kinda came off pathetic IMO. Can't wait until next time!!
There are also MTs that don't have anything to show - sm
that feel they must tear down those that do, whether they ever show it off or not. Like people that feel they must scratch or ding new cars they encounter because they themselves don't have the money to buy such.

There are bad apples on either side of the coin. But regardless of whether we have reason to brag or not, it is best we conduct ourselves so that we care about others in the process.

It should show up now, sorry.
One can never have too many friends.........

:)
She is, it is her show, and...
it is meant to attract viewers.  Which is obviously does.  My son was on her show and she was VERY fair in her decision.  We were all very happy with the outcome, not because he won but because justice was served!! and on a TV show no less!!
She will just show up at the ER and noone will
x
Just goes to show you, all the

high-falootin' education in the world doesn't give you class.  LOL


THIS IS A SCAM!!! This is an absolute scam -
please tell us that you did not send them any money!! There have even been articles written in magazines about this company being a SCAM!!
This is my new favorite show...
.
LOVE THAT SHOW
I can't wait to see it every week, big fan of INXS, and the reason why the performances are so good is because these singers were professionals to start with, what a great change from the Teeny Boppers of American Idol.  Love Mig and JD.  The show is like watching a mini concenrt and when Jordis sang that Bowie song last week, I watched it at least 10 times more on line.  Glad to see someone else loves the show.  Sadly it has not gotten good ratings, so much for class acts getting their just deserves in this fickle society we live in.
Not in my office, but just goes to show you that nothing is
x
especially when there's only bad stuff to show
I noticed that Shepard Smith on Fox (not considered a liberal news outlet) was not especially impressed with the government response to the disaster. He was desperately begging for help for people stranded for days on a bridge.
His policies seem to show that,

Great show!

Jerry Rice is good but cannot match Drew.  What's up with the gangsta rapper?  He should have gone first. He doesn't really care.  I think he should have gone first.


Rock on Drew.


If you saw the first show, it was sorta sad...
she was talking about how she's tired of men just looking at her like a hunk of meat, and that she may have actually let herself "go" so that people might look at her as something more than a body.  She says at 45 she only wants to be at a more healthy weight.  She was actually really sweet.
