I can advise her from here. Don't go on television and dog the people who are looking for

In Reply to: Maybe you should go over there and be her advisor - seeing that you know the laws of Aruba!

your daughter and investigating the people who may have seen her last.  Wipe off some of the makeup and go grieve.  Hire a private investigator.  Let your Aruban attorney versed in the laws and possibly with more knowledge of what is going on in the system speak for you.  Go help the searchers from Texas.  Be more like your ex-husband.  Maintain a low profile and quietly go about your business and don't second guess anyone who has more knowledge than you.

    Dont you think MQ will just keep hiring new people who dont know they lost lines because they are

    new. I betcha.


    When people put "please advise" at the
    x
    Dont want people to think
    that the kids are in danger. They are with my mother-in-law while my sister-in-law works or with me. When she is not working she has them they do not stay alone with my brother-in-law anymore.
    dont' even bother. People with sm
    that attitude you don't want to work for. I would rather be on QA for months and learn every last thing about that account and learn it right than have somebody down my throat about still being on QA.

    Don't let them fool you, these people that run these ads don't have that great of MT skills either or they would never put an ad like that. Stay away from them.
    Yes, these random QA reports now being done by MQ are being done by QA people that dont even QA the
    account and are a pain in the butt. Then they monitor the amount of blanks you have so I will not help out anymore on a new account that needs help because they even monitor those blanks. Who needs this aggravation.
    Maybe it is to check and see if you have spellchecker. Some people dont
    A regular spellchecker doesnt catch these words. Either way they want to know if you have a way to come up with the correct spelling regardless how you get it.


    if people are annoyed, just dont respond, simple.

    I guess they are focusing on people who take huge deductions which I really dont so maybe that is
    why they dont audit me because basically there is nothing to audit since my deductions are about $600 a year which are payroll deducted for equipment. I watch with my deductions that everything can be well documented but I really only have health insurance now which before you couldnt take so that is it for me and that is easy to prove.
    You know, I dont think people care anymore what MQ offers or doesnt offer, I think everyone is just

    sick of all the confusion, dishonesty, sneakiness, etc. You never know what is around the corner so after this there will be something else no doubt. I think I and most other MQ MTs just want a company that they can respect and trust. MQ can offer this package and turn right around and change that. Leopards dont change their spots. It seems like they are intent on running this company into the ground and they are doing a good job of it. I dont see how they ever will stand up against the money they owe all of these hospitals. You still have to wonder what prompted them to send checks out to the DQS MTs for mistakes in calculation of lines. Give me a break. Maybe they are trying to settle lawsuits to get out of the MT business and focus on just technology. They sure dont know what they are doing with the MT side for sure. I think they felt they had everyone up against a brick wall but as accounts leave so will MTs or MTs will just move on to another business as the wages get lower and lower so then all the work can go to India. Older MTs will cut back or retire and younger ones will leave for something else when they see what they have to battle with the work left over from ASR or VR for the small amount of money not to mention EMRs coming quickly.


    They have a television set now -
    These people have been dependent on the government for so long that they have no clue how to even survive without someone else doing their thinking for them and paying their bills. This is what happens when people are never expected to be responsible for themselves and never even had a need to develop any common sense.
    television came on at 4 p.m. with a
    test screen that stayed on for 30 minutes, and shut down at 11 p.m. or so. And you had 1 station you could watch.

    Gas was 17 cents a gallon, bread 15 cents a loaf. Pop was 6 cans for 25 cents, and 6 candy bars (big ones) for 25 cents. My first car was a brand new Chevy Impala, was $3600, fully loaded.

    Learned to type on the old black Royal typewriters, had to use a slide rule for complex calculations in high school and college (no adding machines or calculators for most of us, even at home. Cash registers had the old popup numbers on tags when you pushed in the price. I could walk into the local stores, buy something, and tell them to charge it to my dad, and did not even have to give them his name (nor mine).
    and if her mom wasn't on television (sm)
    she'd be criticized for NOT being there. So she's damned either way.  She needs support, guidance, and prayers.  She should not be held responsible for her emotional outbursts. Honey, if my daughter was missing, you'd see a lot worse out of me!
    This board is like your television
    you have a remote to watch what you want or don’t want, same for the board.
    What about live television?
    nm
    Don't watch television, but have music
    playing very softly in the background.
    Why dont you stop coming in and agitating everyone under all your different names. Dont you work.
    :
    Hey RadGuy!!! What happened between them? I don't watch much television.

    Wayyyyyy too much garbage on television as it is.


    I agree. I only watch network television
    in the summer occasionally. That's if there is an episode of Dateline, 20/20, etc. that I am interested in. I have DirectTV, so I usually watch other channels such as Discovery, Discovery Health Channel, Animal Planet, Bravo, etc. And I normally try to find a good movie on one of the movie channels. Network TV usually sucks in the summer.
    You can work for home doing editing for television news...?
    Would you be interested in that?

    My sister was Program Director for a local TV station for several years. Now, while she attends college, she is an Editor for a news organization and works from home.
    If you dont try to fill in blank or research, dont
    x
    The way I understand it if you dont keep below 10 to 15% QA you dont get the bonus even if your QA
    score remains above 98% so you see as the other poster said you are between a rock and a hard place and I expect this is MQ way of getting out of paying a bonus to people. I see it this way anyhow. I plan to continue to send unclear things to QA and that is the way it is. I expect depending on the new pay scale on top of this they will be losing a lot of MTs anyhow as they continue to miser everyone out of money.
    Do you honestly think they do. I dont. I dont think some of them can even understand some of the

     reports they listen to quite frankly.


    If you dont want to read a thread, then dont.

    Thanks for the advise...

    I appreciate the good tips about the company board, but my situation is unique. I currently have more than enough work to keep me busy; however, I may be interested in getting a business license and picking up a few more clients and having my cousin (who just graduated as an MT) work under me where I can supervise her work.


    If I were to start my own small business, I would like some sort of website and would need a method for my clients digital files to be sent back and forth which is HIPAA compliant (my MD now insists on using email, which I have told him is not secure).


    I emailed sitefever earlier today and they showed me an online demo of this file management system they have under development, which they said should get released before Jan 2006. It seems really easy to use, and it is designed for MT's and their digital files. They said the cost is only $60 per year, which seems like a really good option. And, best of all, it's HIPAA compliant!


    So, just sharing with you all some things I learned today just by asking a simple question!


    You should never advise someone
    I agree that she should get proof if she can. However, I think it's very irresponsible of you to tell her to "push his buttons". What if he fatally harms her this time? You don't know this woman and neither do I. If she is a person who normally does not instigate things, by her suddenly doing so could possibly REALLY set him off.

    I say if he abuses her on a regular basis, the next time it happens, if she doesn't leave before, to call the police and make sure that photos are taken. You really need to calm down.
    My advise to you is

    I learned the hard way years ago out in my garage with no AC on a Royal typewriter, stacks of black carbon paper, a typewriter eraser, the aid of a good medical dictionary plus a kleenex or two to wipe the sweat off my brow and you know what?  I'M STILL TICKING!  I have so many accounts and doctors screaming to sign up I can't find girls fast enough but I would say to you to save your money and time about school.  Invest in a good computer, a medical dictationary, learn to use google as a backup and for any questions but ..... DO invest in a good AC unit!  Hee Hee!


    Best of luck to you,


    Old timer in Arizona


    I would advise this -
    Do not change anything right now. Keep working and spending like always. Let it sink in and then make responsible decisions with that money. I am not even sure how many people I would tell at first. The people you hear about who have nothing left a short time after a big windfall are nearly always those who quit their jobs and began spending like they were Bill Gates.
    Fed up - Going on my own! Advise please!
    Ok, I've had it!  I'm going on my own.  I need advise about how to find local clients, what to charge, simple dicatation systems, etc.  Essentially, I need to know everything about starting my own business.  I'm confident in my skills and am tired of being put up down and told when and how much I need to work.  I'm dependable to the point that I have been tottally taken advantage of.  I know there are better ways to make money doing transcription than what I'm currently doing.  Please Help!
    best advise is to go to Help on the start
    menu, type in copy as the question, and then follow the directions.
    Would respectfully advise you to do some SM
    serious research before you choose a school. CS may not be the school you need.
    I have worked for him and would advise you to look elsewhere. sm

    If you are asking because you were approached about a job please feel free to e-mail me for details of reasons not to do it.


    advise to atty
    To begin with, a GOOD attorney is going to ask another doctor where mistakes are made, not us. The person who takes a deposition is the one who may ask for interpretation of the transcrtiption because most of them are not able to accurately transcribe medical dictation and our opinion is only worth what we interpret from listening to the doctor's tape. We are not medical experts but we are considered experts in interpretation and transciption. Belive me, I know. I've been in court twice relating to transcription and interpretation of a "tape" NOT making a judgment call on something that is only transcribed and has no tape to back it up. We are not allowed to make diagnoses. A good court reporter will ask for assistance in cases where this are problems with an ESL or similar. I have several that I assist with this part and since I am certified and have many years' experience, I am able to hold some weight with the court as an "expert". This is also part of our job and it has nothing to do with a Transcriptionist working against another transcriptionist, so your attitude is way out of line.
    I would advise a little caution

    First, send your grievances to your employer in writing. Give them a chance to rectify them. (Yes, I know you may already have done this, but there is a procedure for these things.)


    Sever people have mentioned starting blogs. That would be a good place to share the answers everyone receives (if any) from the employers. THEN would be the time to talk strike, if the employers' response does not address the issues.


    It's easy to get carried away with enthusiasm, but you don't what to shoot yourself in the foot.


    Just call me - Gimpy


    SPi "strongly advise against"
    All the tech folks I've spoken to at SPi (also the Cymed tech people before) strongly DIScourage anyone from installing Vista. Everyone I've spoken to has said that it will cause major problems. (We use Chartnet platform, btw)
    Advise needed

    I really enjoy reading the posts here.  I am getting back into transcription after being in for over 15 yrs and out for about 2.  I have a new (1st) grandchild that I love to death and babysit quite a deal for my son.  She is 16 months old and loves me to spend all my time with her.  Now that I am going to be busy transcribing; how do those of you with small children keep them busy or balance working around them.  This is my main concern with coming back to transcription; how to let her know Grandma cannot occupy her every waking moment now.


    Advise you discuss this with your doctor. Soon.

    Need help, QA says no to type-2 diabetes, please advise????nm

    Guess you NEVER advise your children, do you?
    x
    Yes, i advise my "children" he is an adult now. sm
    He accepted the job as it was and can quit or accept the terms. my dh and i run a construction business. he runs around and spends 2 hours a day just picking up help. we do not pay travel time. you either choose to go or you don't. we do, however, buy their lunch when it is a longer than usual travel. when they are ICs as usually with any manual labor field, labor law and travel time doesn't constitute for their positioning. turn the situation. if someone was coming to your house to do some work, would you be willing to pay every person on that crew travel time? probably not because that would significantly raise the price which you probably already think it too high to do the work you need. you have to realize they are ICs as we are and have all the expenses of trucks, tools, gas, taxes, etc. and have to cut their prices because foreigners are taking over the manual labor fields as well and working for pennies just as transcription is doing but manual labor isn't going to overseas, overseas is coming to the US for pennies. i would have him ask the man he works for about it but it the guy accepts either live with it or quit. i doubt he will get it as with 18yo he can't have a lot of experience to constitute the extra pay, etc.
    I would advise you to continue teaching! nm

    Advise on important questions to ask on job interview
    I have applied at a company and they are to contact me. I'm really not sure even what to ask. This is a new experience for me. Any help would be appreciated. Any warning signs to watch for?
    I would just advise to present your situation clearly w/o 'whining' (sm)
    as my DH went several years back and there was a lady who worked on her farm picking crops, her husband was disabled, and she sold at market on the weekend - the judge actually bought from her - and judge refused to excuse her and said it was a 3-day trial, was her civic duty and would be over soon.. DH did QA at the time and didn't say anything after that :(
    Laptop user question... please advise...

    Well, it's time to put the old one out to pasture and get a new one.  Computer, that is.  I really want a laptop so I may travel with husband to clinics and now follow games and a daughter (cheerleader) going to college.  But my primary use will be at home.  Do any of you laptop users have any trouble with the monitor going out from over use?  I was told it would be best to hook up to another monitor (already going to hook up another keyboard) for everyday use at home. 


    Any feedback on this would be great!  Thanks


    Any IC charge late fees? Please advise.
    I have been contracted with a hospital for almost 13 years and never had a problem with getting paid every two weeks.  I email my invoice on Monday and receive check via mail by Thursday or Friday.  Within the last three years I have had a little trouble, not often, but usually critical times for me, with receiving payment during that time.  Does anyone charge a late fee and if so, do they pay it?  I thought about putting at the bottom of my invoice "Payment is due within 5 days or a late fee of $ will be charged. 
    if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
    content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.

    As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
    Need advise/guidance from experienced MTSOs. See inside.
    I am an MTSO currently using a call in system for docs to dictate.  The transcriptionists also use the call in system to access their work and the call in system is becoming rather congested.  Want to save the call in system for the docs and put the transcriptionists on the internet.  Can someone give me advice/guidance on how to go about this?  Thank you in advance.
    Off topic but need STAT ADVISE on deviled eggs

    Hi,


    I need help as I don't want to make anyone sick LOL.  Baby shower tomorrow night, my co-host who was making the deviled eggs along with other things broke her wrist this morning...soooo, I am in a time crunch and would like to know if I can make these things tonight (36), just boil them tonight, maybe do the prep just fill them tomorrow??  I usually make them & take them or serve them, but don't know about preparing them this 24 hrs ahead of time.


    Thank any of you experts in advance for your opinions..this is so much easier than trying to call Betty Crocker


    For the person who thinks Codex is no threat. I advise you read



    HON. RON PAUL OF TEXAS

    Henry Lamb- A Great Freedom Fighter Documents how your Dietary Supplements are Under Attack

    Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to read "Your dietary supplements: Under attack again" by Henry Lamb, which I am inserting into the record. Mr. Lamb explains the threat to American consumers of dietary supplements and American sovereignty by the Codex Alimentarius commission, commonly referred to simply as Codex. The United Nations created Codex to establish international standards for foods and medicines. Just last week, representatives of the United States government agreed to a final version of Codex's standards on dietary supplements which, if implemented in the United States, could drastically reduce Americans' ability to obtain the supplements of their choice. Members of the American bureaucracy may be hoping to achieve via international fiat what they cannot achieve through the domestic law-making process--the power to restrict consumers' access to dietary supplements. American bureaucrats may gain this power if the World Trade Organization, which considers Codex "guidelines" the standard by which all other regulations are judged, decides that our failure to "harmonize" our regulations of dietary supplements to meet Codex's recommendations violates international trading standards! This could occur despite the fact that American consumers do not want to be subjected to the restrictive regulations common in other parts of the world, such as the European Union.

    This article is typical of Henry Lamb's work. For almost twenty years, beginning at an age when most Americans are contemplating retirement, Mr. Lamb has worked to expose and stop threats to American liberty, sovereignty, and prosperity. Mr. Lamb became involved in the battle for liberty when, as the CEO of a Tennessee construction company, he founded a state association of contractors to work against excessive regulations. In 1988, Henry Lamb founded the Environmental Conservation Organization to defend true environmentalism, which is rooted in the truth that there is no better steward of the environment than a private property owner, from those who used the environment as a cover for their radical statist agendas. Since 1992, Mr. Lamb and ECO have focused on the threat to economic liberty and self-government posed by the radical global environmental agenda.

    Henry Lamb works to further the cause of liberty by giving speeches around the country, editing an on-line magazine, making numerous television and radio appearances, and writing a weekly column to inform his fellow Americans of the latest scheme to undermine their freedoms. Mr. Lamb is the model of a citizen-activist, and all who wish to become involved in the battle for freedom can learn from his example. In conclusion, I once again urge my colleagues to read Mr. Lamb's article to learn about the need to protect American consumers from Codex, and I thank Mr. Lamb for his tireless devotion to the cause of freedom.

    YOUR DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS: UNDER ATTACK AGAIN (from WorldNetDaily, June 11, 2005)

    (By Henry Lamb)

    The Codex Alimentarius Commission sounds like one of those shadowy, sinister organizations conjured up by one-world-government nuts to scare people.

    Truth: It is!

    The Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization created this commission in the early 1960s to set standards for food safety and to ``harmonize'' the laws of member nations. The commission was endorsed by U.N. Resolution 39/248, which says:

    ``When formulating national policies and plans with regard to food, governments should take into account the need of all consumers for food security and should support and, as far as possible, adopt standards from the ..... Codex Alimentarius. .....''

    The Codex Alimentarius Commission consists of delegates from 163 member nations representing 97 percent of the world's population. It meets every two years, either in Rome or Geneva. Between meetings, the commission is governed by an executive committee that directs the activities of its many committees.

    Of immediate concern is the ongoing effort to bring dietary supplements in America under the control of standards set by this commission. Dietary supplements generate a $17 billion industry in the United States, which affects more than 150 million consumers, according to Congressional findings (H.R. 2485). Proposed procedures and standards could virtually destroy this market and deprive millions of Americans of the supplements they want to use.

    The European Union Directive on Dietary Supplements, which becomes law in August, severely restricts the types and quantities of supplements that may be legally sold. Most forms of vitamins C and E, for example, are not available, or are available only in extremely small doses. If current plans proceed on course, American consumers are in for a shock.

    How can this little-known international commission control what consumers buy in the United States?

    An even less-known agency, deep within the bowels of the U.S. Department of Agriculture is responsible for U.S. participation in the Codex Commission and designates delegates to each of the commission's committees. Barbara O. Schneeman is the delegate to the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Food for Special Dietary Uses.

    The effort to regulate dietary supplements has been under way for more than a decade. In 1994, Congress adopted the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, which kept supplements beyond the reach of the drug police. In the past, Codex recommendations have been non-binding. Now, however, the Codex Alimentarius Commission is teaming up with the World Trade Organization to bring international enforcement to the dietary-supplement battle.

    Ironically, it was primarily the U.S. that brought the WTO into existence in 1994, as the successor to GATT, the General Agreement on Tarriffs and Trade. The WTO agreement specifically requires that the member nations--including the U.S.--conform its laws to meet the requirements of WTO decisions. Failure to conform results in stiff financial penalties. The Codex Commission and the European Union want the WTO to enforce Codex standards, which fly directly in the face of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act.

    Pascal Lamy of France was just selected as director general of the WTO. Lamy served as a member of the French Socialist Party's steering committee and was chief of staff and representative of the European Commission for President Jacques Delors. Since 1995, he has served as a member of the Central Office of the Mouvement Européen (France) and as a member of the European Commission, responsible for trade.

    The Codex Commission will be meeting in Rome July 4-9 to adopt the final rules on dietary supplement use. Dr. Carolyn Dean, president of Friends of Freedom International, will attend this meeting and return to the U.S. just in time to present her report to the Sixth Annual Freedom 21 Conference in Reno, July 14-16.

    The Codex Alimentarius Commission's reach is much broader than dietary supplements. Its committees are also working on standards for pesticide residue, labeling of all kinds of foods, food additives and nutrients, veterinary medicine and drugs, as well as standards and methods for analysis. The function of this organization is to establish standards for all food worldwide and to enforce those standards through the power of the World Trade Organization.

    Few people know that there is such a thing as the Codex Alimentarius Commission. It was created to promote food safety in international trade. It is on the brink of becoming an Orwellian bureaucracy--far worse than the worst fantasies of the one-world conspiracy theories.

    The Codex Alimentarius Commission is neither fantasy nor theory; it is real.
