I know you might be apprehensive to call the office and ask for samples, but (sm)

perhaps you could just call the OM and say you'd like to have a couple of past reports so you can make sure to keep the formatting consistent. I don't think they'd mind either way, but if you approach it as though you're actually doing them a favor (by attempting to "keep the formatting consistent"), then it might be easier for you to do.

No, not at all. I was apprehensive too sm
but someone on here taught me how. It is really simple. If you need help, e-mail me--I'm happy to pay it forward!

Is QA going to call the office and ask?...because otherwise=
they can't fix it either. If he said lady at the beginning and you have no other hints (i.e. prostate check?) then go with lady. Only send to QA if they are going to call and get the scoop.
I would call and tell the office manager
the problem and state that if they cannot provide a clear schedule of patient names, then there is not much you can do other than leave a blank for the patient name when not certain. The problem is on their end, not yours. Is it possible that can scan them and send them in an e-mail rather than faxing??
but we don't get paid to call the office
and go over words. It is not something I would suggest. It is so not worth the trouble.
Yes, I do. The office staff are always very kind to me when I call, and I just

Call Dr office and leave message about this.

If I call the doctor's office and ask for results of an
MRI done on me, do they have to give me the results or do I have to just wait on the doctor to call me?
I got the call; it originated out of the NJ MQ office; I verified the number. sm.
The individual asked whether or not I had received the letter announcing that a package would be coming my way. State the facts, girls.
Call your state insurance comm. office
In some states, they cannot make you take out these insurance policies unless you want them or unless you don't have insurance on something that might be collateral for your loan (i.e. an automobile). Are you saying the insurance alone was $2000+ or the entire balance? That question is really NOMB, but I ask because if it is simply the insurance premium cost, I would think you could find such at a much less expensive rate going with a private insurer. I'm an IC and I have disability as well as $250,000 of life insurance on me and the DH and $50,000 on the three kids and I don't pay $2000 per year for all of that. If they coerced you into taking out these policies, you should be able to cancel them. In my state, I have three business days to cancel a contact or any part thereof. Check with your state insurance commissioner's office. Good luck.
She needs to call her State Attorney General's office and the police.
She has been scammed. She'll be lucky if they don't continue drawing off her account or do identity theft since she gave out her private information.
Can someone from the Ohio MQ office give me a contact person and a phone number to call or an email
address. I am interesting in asking a few questions to someone there in hopes of possibly transferring but I need some info first before I go from one problem to the same one elsewhere.
Good. Why dont you send some our way. What office do you work for so I can call and get your work.

Have most people had good luck with their MQ office closing and moving to the regional office. Have
things gotten better or worse for you.
Yes, I lost mine. I upgraded the Office 2000 package to Office 2003. sm
I have over 2000 autocorrect entries and lost them all as well as my supplemental dictionary for my Stedman's spellcheck. Lots of grief!
Maybe you will be lucky and not lose anything. Good luck to you.
Might be able to rent one from an office supply or office machine repair shop

Office politics. That is why I enjoy working at home. In the office,
people are in other people business. Just mind your own business.
MY samples
I am the poster accused of holding MY normals hostage. Cleaned off the sample and just left in headings. And this was a sample with a table in it and I omitted that even. Then I sent the doc. But again, all they had to do was make a copy of a done job and that would have been the end of it. The only thing, I don't think this person was ever smart enough to figure that out. lol.
You need samples
of the work or offer to a do a trial for a week so you can get an idea of what a page contains and average it out.
I charge my NJ client $3/page but first did a one-week trial and gave my estimate based on that. They also claimed they had local transcriptionists willing to do it for $2. I did not drop my rate, and they went with me anyway. Just thought I'd share that to prove you can charge a higher rate and still get the account. ;D
samples, samples, samples. That is sm
the way she will learn what her dictators are saying. Surely they have some available to her?
Samples
Go to www.mtdaily.com. They have samples of a lot of reports done by transcriptionists. The job board, classifieds, and samples are free services.
got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to
we received our "incentive packet." They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally. These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.
report samples
Does anyone know of a web site with surgical report samples and EMG reports? I've searched google for hours and can only find informartion ABOUT them, not actual reports....
Thanks for ANY help!
seeing samples like that just makes
you realize just how valued and appreciated you are by the nationals and AMMT who believe offshoring is good for the industry, doesn't it??? NOT!!
Can you ask your supervisor for samples of
the ESL doctors' other reports? This will help you can get a handle on what they say frequently.
You have a great attitude. Remember if you can transcribe ESLs, you can transcribe anything. Good luck!
Definitely agree with getting samples. Get
lots of them. They'll save you a lot of time.
For me, I'll listen to a word a couple of times and if I can't understand it, I leave a blank and finish out the rest of the report. Then, I go back to the blank and re-listen again and if I can't for the life of me figure out what the dictator is trying to say at all then I go ahead and leave the blank.
I use Google also. I'll type in the phrase after the blank or before the blank in case something comes up that looks familiar or sounds right.
And lastly, I also stop and walk away for a second from my PC just to clear my head and re-listen again and sometimes just doing that helps.
Good luck! If you can conquer those dreaded ESLs you can conquer anything.
Ask for samples of work...nm

You must get samples of their reports so you can see what they are saying. sm
Most ESLs say the same thing, in the same way, over and over. If English is difficult for them, then they learn a way to say something, and always say it that way. Good luck.
Ask for samples. It really helps to see what they are saying. sm
Most ESLs say the same things the same way, over and over. You just need to see what they are saying. Then you get it.
I believe MT Desk has samples.

Can't you get any samples from your doc? Eyes are
s
dictation samples
I sent you an email with some info.
Samples? It depends. sm
Sometimes you'll get a large set of sample reports for various physicians. Sometimes you have access to prior reports in the system (which, I have always felt, is a bit dangerous, as far too many times I've seen errors carried over from report to report on a difficult dictator simply because people pulled their samples/canned text from earlier reports that contained mistakes).
Usually, though, when starting out and you have no samples for a particular dictator you just do what you can with him/her then request a corrected copy (or sample) from QA ... that's what I have done, anyway, when I've come across a particularly challenging dictator.
Good luck.
MT Desk also has samples.

Can anyone suggest an office in MQ that is not run like this Amherst office. They are absolutely
pathetic. I wonder how many other MTs are in that office in the same situation.
Just DQS from my office was transferred and the rest are getting on DQS before the office closes.

I'm afraid the deodorant samples were not a gag...
tho I wanted to gag after opening the box! Yes, that could be true about wanting others (strangers) around since our parents died - I suppose it IS easier emotionally, in a way. Its like being at an office party.
Does anyone know where I can find samples of brochures for....SM
business proposals? I paid to be a member on another MT website, so I can find that information out, but no one has emailed me or responded to any of my posts regarding this question. I am trying to put together a brochure, so I can hand out to the local clinics in my area. I thought I saw a thread somewhere, but I can't remember if it was here or on the other MT website. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
What aggravates me are normals and samples
full of obvious typos and stylistic issues that we MTs get dinged for. In fact, I remember having a normal op at one place that had a made-up instrument name in it. It kept coming up on the spell check. Took me months to finally find the proper name.
I've come to expect sloppy and/or poorly written emails from managers and admin staff otherwise.
terminology test samples
I have been searching and searching and searching google, etc. to find a written terminology test to hire two inhouse transcriptionists that I will be interviewing this week. Everyone who comes in the door says they "know" transcription and they "have lots of experience" on their resume, but I find out they don't "know" transcription. I need a test that is pretty broad, that is written, and that is FREE. I can test them on digital physicians, but would really like you see how they handle a terminology test too. Been on internet for two hours now to no avail. Can someone help me? I am only interviewing for inhouse positions (2), so don't everyone flood me with requests for jobs....only inhouse.....only in Southern Indiana. Please? Thanks for your help!!!
Thank you for the IC contract samples! Looks great. : )
I had an MTSO send samples
and had spelling errors.... And she is correcting my work? Puleeze!!! I have 20 years of experience as well and do just fine with my own account making a heck of a lot more than what an MTSO will pay, so it is no sweat off my back to dump the picky ones who are not even right themselves. Their loss not mine!
Ask you acct for samples to look at. And get the Dorland's

Can your employer furnish any samples? SM
They will be really hard to do asking online.
There are sites with operative report samples, that may provide some help. Just google.
Not sure if there are any of that on this, but you can check out. Seen some radiology samples in the

A nice site for ops and other samples
This one has quite a number of good samples and it loads quite quick too. See link below.
Here's another good resource for op samples
Lots of useful samples in there.
