I just think it's crappy to judge m

someone's ability to responsible by their credit report, especially in these times when you can make the same amount of money as you have been and have just the basics (no luxuries) and everything has gone up and you scrape to make ends meet. I know many people like this now. I've even read articles on how people are in worse credit card debt than ever because of what I just described and they're bridging the gap by having to charge x amount each month to get by. It's very sad. Because one's credit is poor most often isn't because of a lack of responsibility or willingness to pay, just life happening.

God gave us the ability to judge for good reason. Then told us judge not, lest thou be judged. NM

Love Judge Judy but love Judge Joe
Brown. I often wonder how many of the people involved in Judge Joe's cases have to go home and look up in the dictionary what he said to them. Some of them just have blank faces staring at him when he is giving them a lecture, w/o a clue of what he is actually saying to them.
Many many crappy jobs for me
1. Emergency Room admissions clerk in a back-woods hospital in rural Western Pennsylvania dealing with drunks, freaks and worse on the 11-7 shift while working with a bunch of angry, nasty shrews who hated life in general and were too busy hating the rest of the staff to pitch in and actually do any work.
2. Working in medical records department of another back-woods Western Pennsylvania hospital (family owned and operated, I kid you not) where the medical records director was the 30-something girlfriend of some 90-year-old racketeering buddy of the hospital's owners and she got hired as MR department director directly from the bangle bracelet counter at the mall.
There are more but these two stick out in my mind the most.
Yep they are a crappy school. Unfortunately too
many take the course because it is cheap compared to the good schools, but it ends up costing more when they can't get a job and need further schooling/training.
Have you posted your resume on the job boards?
Knowing about foot pedals or other equipment is no big deal, what you need to know is the terminology, good grammar, research skills are things you need.
You can look for a mentoring program. Some companies will pay you a minimal amount for any work you do. There are some companies who want you to pay a monthly fee. I don't know the names of companies, but there are companies that are not legit, so be sure and ask about them.
You could also apply to local clinics/doctor's offices, and hospitals. You would have to work on-site, but that is the best training you can get.
I'm sorry that you have crappy QA. I wish I had you to edit. sm
A good QA will not do that. Where are you working that you have such bad QA personnel? I'm not wanting to go to that company, lol.
Hope it gets better and you get helpful mentors.
I'm not currently in QA, but crappy dictators
isn't the only reason for QA. You'd be surprised at the crappy work that some MTs do and QA corrects the errors so they bad work isn't going to the client. Some MTs don't feel the need to proof their work, believe that is what QA is for.
crappy work
Must be coincidental, I just had it out today concerning your posting. I sent a copy of it to the owner, I got a return message to never email "her" (the owner) again from the original person I sent it to. Hmmmm, my email with cc to the owner must of sent of sparks! (about what is really going on). Cherry pickers they are!
but where do all the CRAPPY VR dictations
come from, then?
I guess, crappy dictators are EVERYWHERE !
But we all want to leave our crappy nationals...
and go BACK to the office! LOL. We're TIRED of the peace and quiet!
If so i bet they are a crappy MT. You have to KNOW anatomy to be good.
;P
downright crappy and unfair!!! SM
MQ paid 30% less pay for ASR reports, and they took just as long to edit as they did to type sometimes, so was very frustrating. I have heard some companies pay straight line rate difference, i.e. if you make 7 cpl typing, you'll make 4 cpl for ASR. It is totally unfair, as like I said, it does take quite some time to edit ASR, some more/less than others. Needless to say, I left MQ for KS, who does NOT do ASR!!!!
somewhat. would help if the quality of the dictation wasn't so crappy. nm
nm
Guess what? There would be no cherrypickers if there were no CRAPPY DICTATORS! nm

Yes some crappy India people get this work
But I think it is also a great opportunity to keep this IN the USA.
sick of working for crappy companies?
I have been thinking about starting my own company. I have done some research and it looks like all I really need is an FTP site, handhelds (that the doc's purchase themselves), and to get accounts. If anyone is interested in doing this with me let me know...or if anyone has any other information on starting a company input would be appreciated!
Why are we working as IC's and the companies are making profits off of us? Lets cut out the middle man and make the money we deserve!!
I wouldn't hire you with that crappy attitude either.
nm
Pretty sad when you have to settle for a crappy company because all the rest are no better.

How true, I have one very crappy doc that drives me nuts, just got done 10 minutes of him that is-sm
riddled with blanks. I go through it once more, then the office mgr goes through it and fills in what I cannot get. We have an understanding that I do what I can then send it in luckily on him. It is an all-around non-money making account....I waste my time, she wastes her time then the owner proofs it. This doctor even has horrible residents who dictate for him. If there was not so much background noise I would do a lot better but they somehow manage to find the most horrible place to do their dictation and go to town with it........surprised I still have hair left. I told them that if we continue to do this guy (the doctor had decided to stop using the service but changed their mind recently) that I should be paid double (I get the bulk of this twit) and they should charge more to do him due to all the heck he puts us through. ------Can't wait to see what happens with that one!
Venting session = so tired of crappy MT companies...
I have just about had it! I mean I have over 14 years experience as Transcriptionist and all I can get is crappy pay rates, which now I am okay but could be better....And I am tired of getting crappy accounts! Whenever I ask to switch over to a different account, they tell me no. And these companies want PERFECTION, even though noone is perfect, for peanuts! I have seen places where they want you to work set hours even though you are an IC. What is up with that? Plus these places never off any good benefits, if any. What are we supposed to do. I am ready to go to a retail job or fast food. Somewhere where I can get out of the house, do my job and not have to worry about it all day long - not have to worry if I get an 9 hour shift worth of VERY BAD dictators. I bet I could surprise myself at how many hamburgers I could flip in an hour because I sure am tired of seeing how much crappy doctors I can type in an hour.
Does anyone else feel this frustrated? What happened to this profession?
She got booted because she sang a country song really crappy.
nm
Actually, it is retranscribing from scratch, because the software is so crappy. Same work, sm
less money.
Who is anybody here to judge how somebody
lives their life, how much money they make, or where they live? Just because somebody doesn't live the way you do (or would like to) doesn't make it wrong, and she should be proud to be living where she wants and to wake up every morning in a place she loves. My house isn't the greatest house, but I love it and am proud that I am able to be buying it on my own. I don't see the need for people to be putting her down after she was ASKED to share details of her home.
to sm and tm...do not judge until you have
judge not, lest ye be judged
does that ring a bell....hmmmm?
Please don't judge
For some it does not make sense to leave the home when you add child care costs, expense of a car, gas, clothes, food and so on. Please don't judge. I like to think when my daughter is grown up, she will appreciate that I was home for her not that she had a nice vacation (you seem to keep mentioning that)or the finer things in life.
any encouraging words for a newbie with crappy line counts?
Today is my 3rd day of "real" work (not school) and I did 482 lines in 5.5 hours. That averages out to about 87 lines an hour.
How many lines per hour did you average at first? How long did it take to get faster?
I accepted an acute care position to get more experience, but now I'm wondering if I should have gone for a company offering clinic notes accounts ...
Please tell me it gets better!
If you work from a pool, it's when others are leaving you the crappy reports by skipping over the
s
It is confusing. But it's the only way to actually judge how much you are...
getting paid for the exact same amount of work. As long as you work with the same big block of text, it works perfectly.
Judge Alex!

Does anyone like Judge Judy?
I think she's mean and rude!
Judge Judy
I think she makes a lot of incorrect judgements based on insufficient evidence and also sometimes refuses to hear evidence in someone's defense. I dont like her. I dont watch her anymore either.
Well, if it is unchristianlike to judge and
condemn others for what they believe, then why do the born again or saved christians believe God does all of those things? I do not choose to be born again or saved because I simply do NOT believe that God judges or condemns. I believe if I simply live a good moral life free of major sin, I too will go to heaven. And I also like to believe that God forgives; and of course I'm not talking about murderers or just plain evil people here. It is so odd because it is the born again christians stating that if you are not saved or reborn that you basically may not be accepted in heaven. Doesn't that make God seem just a bit like a judging, condemning and almost evil being? Very strange religion if you ask me. JMO.
so quick to judge
come down to earth people.
can only judge from own experience
Maybe the other is so, or maybe it is mgmt speaking, who knows.
and you Judge only Certain Posters as Fools?
and only MQ Certain Posters upset and embarrass you? why not address MQ Certain Posters rather than making blanket statements?
with all due respect you are backtracking big time and sliding a bit on the truth side. read your posts over. but that's okay. kind of clintonish whether you like it or not.
You shouldn't be so quick to judge.
Those of us who haven't got as high a pedestal as you have made mistakes in our lives. It is not the child's fault we made a bad decision. Single mothers have it really rough and I should know.
The above poster did not make it sound like it had anything to do with her being a single mother.
I am married now but, at times, have been the "breadwinner" if you will, for my family. Would that make it sound better?
I don't want to be treated any better than anyone else, but I have had to do a lot of things.
The recruiter made a mistake. She should have never put the offer out there if she wasn't completely sure.
You can't judge a company by how often they hire. This could be
due to new accounts no turnover.
The truth is that most people look beyond the postings on this board and others because it is too hard to separate truth from fiction.
Don't be so quick to judge Supercuts. sm
The fact is there are bad hairstylists everywhere as much as there are fabulous ones. My sis worked for Supercuts for years , just recently left to start her own biz on the side after taking a cushy county job. She took a huge cliental with her also; she's really, really good at her job. The fact is places like Supercuts do so much more business than smaller salons and so generally those working there have a lot more experience than you might think. My whole family patrons our local Supercuts and most of the ladies there are really very good. There are one or two over the last couple years we have learned are not so good, so we just don't let them cut our hair. Can't beat the prices either.
Love Judge joe brown!
 he's my fave
Judge Mathis my favorite!
What a sense of humor he has (plus sharp legal mind)! Both he and his bailiff--very cute!
What does Povitch have to do with Judge Judy?
:[
disagree - all bibles say Judge not....sm
Born agains that I have run into act like they have never sinned.....yeah....right....it's the reason they become born again to begin with, they wipe the slates clean once re-born as if the BAD never happened prior to them becoming born again. Everyone that I have met (including the x-spouse who became born again after the divorce) just appears to me to be so darned hypocritical!
Just my nickel's worth.
Please dont judge all by the bad apples
Some of us are happy with what we do and are happy to lend a hand. Not all, or even the majority of us are rude. There are just a few that like the attention on these boards i think.
Why would I go backwards? Simple thing is to fire the MTs whose quality is crappy. Weeded out abou
I get paid rather well, but I really should not have to do an MTs job. The point is I DON'T WANT TO TYPE!! Why would I want to be an MT and type ALLL THE TIME?
You can't judge people by what coast they live on....
I am originally from the East Coast and I am NOT a "nasty woman". The writer was cold hearted yes....but it doesn't give you the right to blame the East Coast. You could live anywhere...it depends how you were raised in the long run. I was taught to always treat others as I would expect to be treated...imagine that from an East Coast momma! Have a good day.
Who are you to judge? Most people gripe about their spouses,
Its called venting.  We're allowed to do that.
Don't be so quick to judge others by yourself busy-body MT!
No joke.
PS: Where do you get the TIME IN your busy schedule to prepare essays and lectures to MTs what with your "busy" MTing and getting degrees etc? How's dano? She seemed to back you up with essays also. Same hahaha. Worn out?
I love Judge Judy. She tells it

I love Judge Judy! She's awesome!

On the contrary, Christians ARE expected by God to judge sin. sm
There are numerous versus to back this up. There is a verse that says if we as Christians observe a fellow Christian falling into sin, we are to go to that person (in love, not condemnation) and try and guide them back onto the right path away from destruction. How are we to follow God's laws if we do not judge right and wrong? That verse has been taken so far out of context.
WHAT WE ARE NOT TO JUDGE is another person's relationship with God or whether that person has obtained salvation or is saved.
WE ARE EXPECTED TO JUDGE SIN. I'll be happy to dig up the verses for anyone who would like to see them.
they cannot judge based on one doctor; keep looking/testing
nm
Whoa . . . another thing, don't be so quick to judge.
It depends on the type of account you're on. A lot of time the 300 lph MTs are working on short clinic notes for one or two docs or ER reports. There's a big difference in the types of account you're on. I work on an acute care account for a large teaching hospital. I do H&P, consults, ORs, discharge summaries, echos, eegs, and about anything else they dictate for internal medicine and all the specialties, including infectious disease, radiation oncology, cardiology, neurology, etc., you get the picture. Sure, I can fly on short clinic notes or ER reports, but then I get so bored I could scream. My dictations are more technical and time consuming, but much more interesting. I have to stop and research sometimes on the latest meds or procedures, but it keeps me on my toes!
