Good Lord! Is all this back-biting really necessary?
admin. where are you now? Sheesh!
I quit for good, too, ....... then got back in biz...sm
I thought I quit for good, too. I quit for 2 years. Then, due to circumstances, was forced to look for part-time work, decided MT would pay the best of any PT job out there.

Man, was I rusty!!! I'm not kidding!! It was like not knowing what I knew I knew! Had to double check everything! My skills did come back quickly - within a few weeks I was rolling again, but those first few weeks and testing were miserable.

I wished I had at least kept a very small account to keep my skills up.

But, at the time, I was FED up with the biz and would never look back! LOL!

Anyway, I'm very happy for you and wish you all the luck in the world! You probably for weeks/months will always have that feeling where you need to 'go type some charts.' LOL! :)
Good Lord!
The original poster asked a question that only a person who has done at least 2 reports with lab data would know what they were saying! COME ON! If she took the time and necessary brain matter to realize that the 41 was a test result and separated it from the rest of the phrase, she might have gotten it. Obviously, either this is a person has not had any training (if she did, she would have come across amylase and lipase a million times, they are so common) or she is just not cut out for being an MT. Just my opinion but then again, I've been in the business 25 years, what do I know!
Good lord, obviously you've never
spent hours and hours correcting the same mistakes over and over again or you wouldn't even ask. I thought her post was right on the money.
MQ board good lord
i need to go back to bed!!!!!!!!
good lord but how in the world do you do 300 lph???

$2000 for food???? Good Lord (sm)
I guess Weight Watchers is the way to go.  I've been successful with WW in the past, but gained it back.  I guess it's time to go back.  I feel like the prodigal daughter. 
Whaaaa....tttt? Good Lord is right! nm
.....
Good lord, enough! We get it, you love DocShuttle. How bout other options?

read the whole post - good lord- you act like I am telling you to work for free--
The fact is "YOU ARE NOT TYPING THE LINE" So why get paid to type that line?

I merely suggested hourly pay. Good Grief!! If you people didn't have something to argue about, I think you would all go bananas.
YOU ARE WELCOME - after that crap I quit and went back to school
.....
Proud ex-CMT here too. I quit 'em back in 1999 - sm
They got almost 3 grand out of me before I wised up. LOL!
Just say it's not going to work out, quit, and send the stuff back. Not like you'll be using t
s
The only way I got off 3rd shift was to quit the company nm

IMO, you need to quit and find another company.
We experienced MTs need to refuse to accept that kind of paycut to work on ASR, which in most cases requires just as much time and effort, if not more.
With short arms, I need chair with shallow seat, good back support and high back. Want arm rests
:+
That happened to me and I quit and found another company. sm
The name of the game is money. If I can't make any money, I will find a company where I can.

I have decided to quit my job. I hate this company.
It's worse than ANYWHERE I have ever worked before.  The problem is that I don't have another job yet.  However, I know I can easily find another job.  I just don't know if I should hang on to do the responsible thing and find another job first. ~ OR ~ If I should take some time off for Christmas with the kids instead of busting my chops for this company when I know I'm not going to stay anyway.  I wonder if they give Christmas presents or bonuses.  LOL  I can take my $7 an hour from their lousy ESLs and crummy platform and go buy lottery tickets and a bottle of cheap wine!  Hooey!  McDonald's, here I come!!!!
QUESTION: Why are you still there? Quit whining and go to a different company. If you stay there,
pp
Couldn't - really dislike that platform. Quit the company that uses it. Could not get a decent l
went from 385 lines an hour to 200 lines an hour tops on Bayscribe.

I could not adapt - so quit. Much happier now, back to having my own accounts.
I quit this week too. Good Luck!

Missed your post yesterday.


Good of the company? As IC, I am my own company. Not my problem if she has problems as long as I do
:P
Try to get back with the old company.

Call the company back now that DSL is
available, and get that job!  Tell them you thought you'd contact them again since you now have DSL.  MT companies always have openings.  Sometimes you have to do a little chasing down to land a job.
Did you ever go crawling back to a company?

Were you ever fired or quit an MT job and applied to that company again after you saw the grass wasn't always greener on the other side? Did the company take you back? I'm thinking about re-applying at a place I left.


laid-back company?
Well yes I did clinical & Basic 4 for a very laid-back company in L.A. for 7 years & it was great, after they got to know me. But I finally got laid off & worked for MedScribe (Jax, Fla.) doing Rad for 6 months until last week. The first time my production got a little low, BAM they ended my contract & that was IT. So it would be nice to find a little more laid-back company again. If you want a referral bonus, I have 17 yrs MT experience, type 90+ wpm, & I'm available & looking.
I quit once for 3 years, but then started again. (Quit cold turkey when I did)


Is this company in IL by any chance.. I had them ask me to send equipment back UPS Next Day Air Sele
.
I quit two months ago. I tried to quit for over a year, but I just had to be ready.
I tried the patch, NRT gum, Zyban, everything. One morning, I woke up and just quit cold turkey. There are some good online support groups out there that can help you when you're ready.
No, at this co. QA is good about sending back

that's the usual process so that we can listen to our errors. How do you ever learn if you don't see your errors?


That's a good idea. I am due back to get
my teeth cleaned actually and was thinking I could talk to a hygienist there also...maybe see if they have time to arrange to talk with me more during non-work hours. Thanks. :)
LAME Yuck... where's a GOOD come back?
Talk to me when you have a real comeback cheeseball!!!!!   I'm way past the sticks and stones phase of life!!!!!  HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAA LAMO LAMO Looohoooser!!!!
Good grief, back to the future. nm

Know of any good chairs for back pain?
I have been using a $20 task chair from Wal-Mart for the past three years, I am sitting her now six months pregnant about ready to die from upper and lower back pain.  Anyone have suggestions for a good quality chair they like, right now money is not an option,  I would pay big $$$ for just a little relief. 
Good for you! I'm back at school learning (sm)

a new career after 16+ years in this business!!  I love MT but it's time for something with a steady paycheck and longevity.  Good luck to you and to the rest of us in your shoes!!   :)


Company newsflash: THOSE WHO RETAIN GOOD STAFF RETAIN GOOD CLIENTS
Hight staff turnover = high client turnover if you don't pay attention.
ALSO IF THEY WERE GOING TO QUIT SE, THEY WOULD QUIT ADVERTISING TO HIRE SE
And I have seen a new ad in the magazine Advance that has a sign on bonus for SE's, maybe just better pay, let's think positive!!
Does anyone have any good ideas for back and hip pain from sitting all day? Anything on the market?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
A good MT is hard to find. Check back with those 2 companies

It was a $1 a mile, not hour! Made good noney back then. nm

Sombeody actually wrote a really good letter to Advance a few issues back. sm
It was in the Jan. 12, 2009, issue, letter to the Editor titled, "What Good is Change for MTs?" by Wendy Keller. She does attack AHDI in a very intelligently written letter.
good company

I have been working for JLG for the past month or so and I have to say I am very impressed.  This company delivers what they pitch in the interview.  They do small things to make you feel part of the company and to make you feel important, but the best part is that so far they have paid on time, with absolutely no hassels of any kind.  They strive to make sure that you do not run out of work.  I am now assigned to 3 different accounts and so far the work has been more than I can do.  They also pay comparable line rates according to other companies across the board. 


I wanted to put this out there just in case someone is looking for a position.  As I understand it, one of their requirements is that you have 3 years experience with acute care transcription.  It has been stated to me several times that they are looking to hire a large number of transciptionsts, so possibly some of you can look into their company.  So far, I am very pleased, especially coming from the last company that I worked for.  I will be posting about that company later.   


Good company
Where did all former SS employees go.  I am looking for a good company.
GOOD COMPANY
PROSCRIPT - GREAT company... try them.
I'm in good company, then! :) Thanks!

good company to QA for?
Any advice? I need a new job with some good benefits.
Good company
I work with AccuStat and so do 10 friends of mine. We all love it. The pay is different but that is designated by the clients and not Accustat. You will love working with them. You will see that any bad remarks made about them are usually by MTs that were fired for poor work. That is true of most of these bad things written on these companies. You made a good choice! AccuStat is a great company!!
What is a good company?
Okay, Spheris does not sound good and Ascend sounds like they do not pay.  So anybody have any suggestions for a possibly to be ex-MQer.
Good company
I work for one, too.  They don't bother me - and the communication is very good.  What specialities do you transcribe?  Therein may lie the answer to your problem.  If you have limited your experience by transcribing radiology or clinic work for years, losing any acute care or other specialty experience that you may have had - then the problem does not lie in the company, but in the fact of the path that you  have chosen.
good company SOMETIMES
They will use ya and be great when they need ya. They will dump ya in a heartbeat when they find someone else who they can pay less and all the sudden you have no work. They are unethical and only care about bottom dollar. Me and 7 of my friends left them when they did this to us.
Good company
They used to be under another name and were bought out.  There's plenty of work and you don't deal with a huge staff, just 2 people and that's it.
