about implying
I do not think that is what was meant, I think it just means that we can be at home and be good MTs too. I personally do not have a problem with people who choose to use daycares, what I have a problem with is people telling other people that staying at home with kids and working cannot be done, when I know that it can, just my opinion
so what? What are U implying?
Ur obvious ignorance is showing. Big deal if the poster is Indian. So what. Do you have a problem because the person is Indian? What of it?
are you implying that transcriptionists
that work for MQ are less professional??
She doesn't. She is implying she knows but no
announcements have been made about the new plan. Her post reads very much like a scare tactic.

You are correct - the only thing we have heard about is an ASR reduction but, honestly, we cannot even truly verify that and whether it is a specific office, etc.

I don't want to see anymore of the negativity that has been posted. It's not a fact on any of it yet. Until we have something from MQ in our hand, we don't know. If these MTs do have something, they should scan and post it here for credibility, but I doubt we will see that either. Be safe and consider all here as hearsay until you can confirm it for your own self.
I disgree with you implying she should be
paid for the meeting. That is something that normally does not happen in the IC world, especially if it is setting up the conditions, etc., on transcribing their reports.
Your reply below shows you know EXACTLY what I was implying. How sad for your kids.

Happy summer bonding and spending quality time with your kids.  I only hope that they NEVER hear you say something mean like that, or see you write it. And they're TIRED AT NIGHT.  No other way to explain it, and you know it.


No, YOU are implying that this mother doesn't want to be bothered with her kids. How do YOU know?

No, it wasnt Toth.
Thanks! Have a good day!
no where did I say it wasnt work?
I only said you are not typing the lines that you should be paid BY THE HOUR and not by the line. That way, the more corrections you make the less you feel like "I'm not making any money today." Thus quality is going to be much better because the MT is not going to worry about going as fast as they can to make money and will take time out to make the corrections needed.

There should be a requirement of lines, but not PAID per line.
Sorry. I wasnt arguing with you. Im just generally
it just gets me p1ssed off, and then i start ranting!
wait..wasnt thread to send ESL's
Now you dont want work sent overseas??  I thought the thread was to send all the ESL's overseas??  I frankly dont want any work sent anywhere but for all of it to stay in America and I will do the difficult and good doctors, cause they pay my salary.
If offshore wasnt paid less, US MTs wouldnt

I agree. I would be long gone if I wasnt the age I am and am actually phasing out anyway.
:
That wasnt very helpful..she is confused by verb, noun, and adj. as far as how to tell
which is which. I think the "a" in front is more helpful.
Wasnt you worried that some weirdo might come back in while you werent there to monitor it? sm
It just worries me that after we get everything set up will some weirdo go in and look around, get info off of your accounts, or go look at icky stuff on the web using your computer? My husband says his tech guys at his work said there is no reason why a tech person cant "fix" your problem by walking you through it. They say there is never ever a reason to authorize someone you dont know access to your computer. I am so confused! Really want this job, but dont want to risk my computer being an open door either.
Wasnt that a rip. They must have called every person on every account to work. I cant possibly
figure that mentality. PLUS we get nothing extra for weekends, nothing extra for  holidays ZIP. They overload the accounts and so we have no work. Why would they pay weekends or holidays when they play this game. Somebody is pocketing something but it AINT THE MTs. I hope every MT in that office inundates Mt. Laurel with complaints until they replaced the people that did this and not to mention their STUPID STUPID PICKY MQ point plan. That is a horrendous joke. Somebody up there needs to be removed and quickly.
So you have also noticed the light and dark shades in text. I wasnt aware that it was like this when
I bought it. Is there anything to make this better at all. I just bought this whole computer system with LCD screen and I guess I will call them and see what can be done or just get used to it. I like it but not so much having the text look like that. Have you spoken to anyone about yours.
Wasnt' that post scary? Isn't it UNREAL?? Who cares if we type drugs wrong, right?
I could go on and on about the STUPID mistakes MTs make - perfect dictators - just stupid lazy mistakes - wrong drugs and meds entirely - happens all the time. Forget dosages.  If doctors had to rely on this typed garbaged (used typed intentionally - transcribed doesn't fit), they'd kill most of us as patients.  And some MTs have an attitude about it? So frightening. But lets' give 'em bonuses and incentives to GET IT RIGHT!
My post disappeared. I wasnt being disrespectful with the TV just tired and didnt proof before subm
Sorry if I offended anyone when I saw it I had a good laugh with everyone else but still thought there was good advice in the post but I guess not -- my apologies if I offended and will watch my ShortHand lol.
I don't think it can do that, it you are meaning
HE to He, etc.
I know the meaning is not
derogatory, any more than my grandmother was being derogatory when she said "colored people."  Certainly, all the countries you mention (Middle East, etc) can  be considered oriental, since the word just means of the east. ("We Three kings from Orient Are.")  But I have never heard anyone use the term "Oriental" to describe someone from Turkey, or Saudi Arabia, or any Caucasian person in the eastern hemisphere; only to people from the Far East (many Americans tend to muddle people from these countries into a group because of their similar physical characteristics).   At any rate, Asian is  the favored term today.   Oriental things (such as rugs) are a different story.   My cousin (age 54) still uses the word "Oriental" for people from the Far East...  she also gets Arabs and Indians mixed up.       oriental/occidental
ps CTA meaning to cover their a**.

I said he is the same on the inside, meaning,
he still is the most tender-hearted man I have ever known in my life, the same as 28 years ago when I married him. He knows that I firmly believe that his drinking is wrong and that it is killing him (which I don't want to happen), but, leaving him is not something I want to do (been there, done that). I choose to stay. Not everybody's situation is the same and, Biblically, I have absolutely no reason to leave him nor do I want to leave. I hate to see him killing himself this way and that is something that I pray about daily.
I was not meaning you directly at all
guess I was just trying to get across the point that in other parts of the states southerns are protrayed as such. I am white, my husband is black and my mixed daughter was an English major in college here in the south and an accountant now, She, along with me, shutter when we hear ebonics. Like where you live and where I live outsiders would probably not believe with all the diversity, huh?
IC status meaning

I worked 3 weeks for a company as IC status.  They wanted a schedule so I did one and then the work was not coming through so the third week was told not to do schedule; it did not look like the MD I was going to have would get into a routine.  I did the work at night or early morning.  Was told I had to work my schedule even if I had no work I had to be there in case it came in.  Does IC status not mean TAT and production but flexibility with schedule as long as you get the work done.  Also it went from 60 minutes to 120 and then at the time I finished the 100 minutes 85 more came through and it was like she expected me to do it right then.  I had 24 hours.  Also was called as soon as it uploaded at 4p.m. one day and was asked "ARE YOU TYPING".  It was not my scheduled time and it had only been uploaded about 30 minutes.  What is your take on this.  IC does not mean be harrassed if not an employee with benefits right.  No work for 3 days and then hounded as soon as it came in.  I am not there now because I voiced my opinion. 


 


IC meaning independent contractor?
As far as I know...no...for independent contractor, they do not have to pay any benefits or even take out SS, so I would think it would be MORE not less for IC. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
I am not meaning to start a firestorm, but can anybody SM

explain this? I'm not trying to get banned, but every other site on the net survives just fine and there is no such restriction on them.


Maybe I'm dense, but I can't even make up a sensible reason for it.


Exactly what I was meaning in post below, but you say it so articulately. Thanks.

It sounds to me like this MTSO needs to look up the meaning of IC. sm
From your description, you have been more than understanding.  We set our hours and we work them, but are not sitting here every time something is needed.  I have worked 3 IC jobs (simultaneously) in the last 1-1/2 years, and can tell you there are wonderful companies out there that are very considerate.  You don't need this one.
Are y'all meaning Sylcount?
If you need an Expander too, you can get Instant Text, which has counting, invoicing, and reporting built in. :-)
Again, you've missed the meaning.

The interpretation is this: Money will speak louder than just writing a letter. Speak financially. Get it now?


'Plenty' meaning - the 6 or 7 people who

The sclerae (plural) are injected, meaning SM
Blood vessels are visible.
I mean comeback using long words nobody knows the meaning of, he-he nm

Isn't it an "at will" relationship, meaning that no cause is needed at all?

No, that's baloney. Study-up on meaning of 'cult'.

Previous reports, meaning another MTs work?

Lanier is proprietary meaning it will only work
with a Lanier system and you cannot use a C-Phone or DVI workstation to access a Lanier digital system.  You won't be able to use it with a DVI system or Dictaphone.  However, if memory serves, you should be able to use a Dictaphone C-phone or DVI workstation interchangeably with most other digital dictation systems and Dictaphone.
I'm glad you brought this up. I've been meaning to

maybe "black and white" chars. (meaning spaces

Does anybody understand the meaning of EmErGeNcY room anymore?

I cannot understand why I type SO many ERs with trivial chief complaints such as:


sore throat - cough - pimple - splinter - blister - farted - (okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but COME ON people!)


The most recent ccx.....Can I take a laxative? Not constipated, just needs to know if she can take a laxative along with her hypertension med. Thought she better go to the ER to ask.


Why are these people allowed to be such a waste of ER resources?


Just a pet peeve....wondering if anyone agrees with me.....perhaps someone else who has spent hours in an ER waiting room for something or other.


 


isn't off peak meaning night/weekend and therefore would not count toward the 450? nm

well time to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas...
and please dont get me wrong... i know these times are hard for everyone and i hope your work picks up or you find a job that helps... but regarding the holidays... so many of us (myself included) have made this a buy buy buy holiday. I'm been so upset this year because I have bought barely ANY gifts but I simply cannot afford them. So then I realized, it is time for family and togetherness, as generic as that sounds... life is short... it's not about "things" it's about people. And I'm not super religious, but this is a good video below.
good luck on work!

Might be meaning the 3 boxes left upper corner??
the 3 little square boxed in the right hand corner, see them. The middle one makes a bigger screen. Unclick it and it goes back to regular size. This this what you meant.
Well, grammar/punctuation can dramatically alter meaning, so it IS important. nm

I honestly don't know - but I will try
You have raised a lot of good points and I appreciate your post.

Of all the comments today, you have the very best post. I don't want to agree with you, but you are right.

Jason is gone from MDI. I did read some of the responses on the questionnaire that he sent out and wondered the same thing myself. Nothing ever came of it.

I spoke to Sue about your post and we agreed about several of your comments.

I do not agree with you that our Team Leaders are not available, etc. They also work at night, weekends and holidays when necessary.

Why don't you express some of this to your TL?

I will take your very good advice and continue emailing our employees about positions that are available from within our comapny.

You will be getting more mass e-amils from me, telling you what is going on with MDI. I promise.

Thanks,
Liz



Honestly
A brand new MT shouldn't be working at home. That's just my opinion.

Congrats about the baby. Good luck!

Honestly, I just don't see it.
Private doctor offices are cheap. Why would they send coding/billing out when it all needs to be done through local clearinghouses and there is no access to the patient's charts.  Hospitals have too much for the doctors to do with charts/coding/records etc to send them out, but you know what, I guess anything is possible these days. I didn't think I'd see the day when Indians would be doing our work either.
