Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

It's certainly UNBELIEVABLE that they'd do this the city, but

In Reply to: I feel sorry 4 New Yorkers! - RadGuy

I guess I don't know enough to understand why? What could the government of NY had done to prevent this? What were the grievances? I really think we need to blame the right people here, so hopefully someone will be able to share more info on why this happened.

Unbelievable. SM

I thought our jobs were to transcribe and keep it confidential.  Now we are supposed to be PI's, law enforcement liasons? 


That is unbelievable.
I don't know why that surprises me after everything that is going on. I am in the same boat with you, as are a large number of other people. It is frustrating, but as a MT, you have no proof other than your pay check took a nose dive over night, and that is not enough to prove anything. This is really sad.
unbelievable
not for MQ is that kind of remark unbelievable!!
Unbelievable!

You people are really unbelievable.....it's not bad enough that you bash the company, but now you're bashing one of your own!  What a sorry bunch you all are.....Believe it or not, I really don't care....it's what I do, I just thought I would share it with you to let you know that it CAN BE DONE or maybe I'm just the exception....but at the very least, give kudos where it's due! Again, no normals or expanders....just hard work for a single mom putting in a true 8 hour day, working every minute of the 8 hours and deserving every cent I make....the 2800+ was closer to 2900 and I did it in 9 hours....but normally I do 2600 in 8. This is the last post I'm putting on this board ....you people are bitter and wicked! Save your nasty comments to yourselves!


 


It is truly unbelievable...
I can honestly say that none of the devastating news in the world has had an effect in my daily living: The war in Iraq, the tsunami, the hurricanes, the forrest fires, earthquakes, mudslides, etc. Though all of these devastating events have happened all around me, my daily living has not changed. One of the dinner prayers I taught my boys really expresses how I feel about my privilege and protection by God, "Help us to be thankful to Thee and mindful of others as we receive these blessings." Not just dinner, but daily living.
unbelievable

 An audio hour is 60 minutes of dictation.  Minimum wage...maybe.....assuming they have any "audio hours" to send you.   Even if they provided a steady work flow, which according to the ad isn't likely to happen, how many MTs can transcribe 60 minutes of dictation in one hour? 


unbelievable
Frankly, most of you have to open your eyes and look past your predjudiced ways to realize that what lies at the core of this movie is a love story plain and simple. I have seen the movie. The sex is simple and not gratuitous, the acting is remarkable and the story behind it all is quite moving to say the least. There is no 'gay agenda' being shoved down people's throats - if you don't want to see it then don't buy a ticket. But for those of you who are progressive and open-minded enough to see the film, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
Unbelievable!

Unbelievable....maybe you can't but some of us can.....nm

In Shanghai because of a rabies scare, 50,000 dogs have been clubbed to death. This is so upsetting to me because I love animals.  They even offered dog owners 63 cents to kill their own dogs before they sent out the teams to kill them !!  They actually "seized dogs from their owners and beat them to death on the spot."  What a bunch of barbarians.  Wow.  Glad I live in the U.S.
unbelievable
If it really is just one person posting all these venemous hate-filled comments, she should seriously consider getting some help. To get so worked up over what people eat or how they describe their homes demonstrates how empty her own life must be.
Unbelievable

Unbelievable!!
//  the third QA post got moved to the Medquist company board for some reason and the post says "MT's"  oh no!!
Wow, unbelievable!! What's going on???? n/m

Who are you kidding? As MTs we are responsible for the "quality" of reports now.

VR transcriptionists are QA editors with pennies for pay, and it isn't likely to change. The best thing to do is WALK AWAY.

Leave them holding the bag.
It is unbelievable that someone would
state this misgiving to you, I guess so you will go with VR or just what is their purpose? I love it myself but you cannot get that many lines an hour, just not humanly possible and anyone else who does VR will tell you the same. I hate they are misleading others like this.
not unbelievable
I often do 300 lines an hour with familiar doctors and lots of shortcuts. I believe she is doing 300 lines per hour on a clinic account.
unbelievable... 6.5 to 8 cpl for EXPERIENCED ONLY

that was an ad in the job seeker's board.  UN-freakin' believable.


then that vet would no longer be my VET!! unbelievable. NM

Rose, get this again.. unbelievable but
I was told by the company I work for that I was not supposed to refer to them, they do their own choosing. Well, ok, I only tried to get in contact regarding this 1 time and needless to say, would you try again? I think not. I do love VR and work part-time now and make enough in those days to pay my bills, etc. Good luck with whatever you do!
unbelievable.. or unbeleivable

I can never remember the i before e rule.


UNBELIEVABLE on so many different levels.

I just got the most unbelievable deal

on ebay. I was looking for a standard cassette transcriber with foot pedal and power supply and had no luck except for very expensive ones. I tell you, having patience sure paid off.  I've looked everyday, several times a day for the past week and sure enough, there was a buy it now transcriber just posted several hours ago for....get this, $15.99 plus shipping! WOW. The seller has good feedback selling other transcription supplies and apparently had 5 machines she was trying to unload, all used, and they've all gone (except for one that is on auction). Anyhow, I'm just so pleased, I had to share.


Unbelievable! And to think at MQ we are bellyaching at receiving...sm
only 80% of our regular line rate for editing. It sounds like clinic notes, dr's office notes, maybe just a few docs, nothing complicated, lots of canned text etc. Still 2 cents a line, I don't think you could speed up the sound enough to make any money at that rate unless there were no mistakes whatsoever.
Unbelievable. Just wait till she gets to
be an old timer.

I plan on doing this till I am in a wheelchair on a Roho Cushion, Foley Catheter, IV fluids and therapy massaging me.

SS won't do it.

So wait till I send in my resume claiming 50 years experience.
At first I thought this was a joke. This is unbelievable. No wonder my son SM
had so much trouble finding a job. The last time I went to Target a clerk couldnt help me because she could not speak English and had to get another clerk. Wow...
OMH - This is unbelievable!!! What is happening to our country! nm

What a piece of work you are! Unbelievable! nm

Unbelievable how people have different definitions of the exact same thing
You said, "I just wanted to isolate myself at home on evenings and weekends".

A "social butterfly type" wouldn't have made that observation about herself. You made a decision to isolate yourself, which you of course have every right to do because most of us here do the same thing.
My brother is suing me for the costs of the lawyer.. Unbelievable..nm

Unbelievable! The pedagogy part made me laugh out loud.

Been there. That's why I work at home. Thanks for sharing.


UNBELIEVABLE!!! I am speechless. I literally have no words! A $5000 trip to China to teach

them how to steal our jobs?



 


 


There's a law in our city that you can't have more than
a certain number of pets in your yard or home.  Have the neighborhood band together and sign a petition or turn him in on every tiny infraction.  Get rid of the guy.  Take back your neighborhood.
Sex And the City! : )

What city? - NM

What city is LCC out of? Do you know? (nm)

what are you trying to do, build another city...
please go down about four posts and see the one titled "It never fails to amaze me" and see what happened to that train of thought and the responses to the same.  You might get a clue to your answer.  Have a great day. 
Kansas City, MO Thanks! nm

Why does everyone think Kansas City, MO is
Kansas City, Kansas as well, but for the most part when you hear KANSAS CITY it is referring to Missouri.  The Kansas City Chiefs are in MISSOURI, not Kansas.  Downtown Kansas City (the one you hear about) is in MISSOURI, not Kansas.
Those City folks

I can really relate to your situation and wanted to tell you this story. 


I live at the base of a mountain.  There is an RV place out here and every winter the hunters camp and .....leave aggrevation everywhere (garbage).


Yesterday i drove the 15 miles to town to the post office where they know everyone by name.  I was packaging my book to mail and was listening to this conversation:  A gentleman handed a change of address form to the Postmaster. He says," You just moved in that new house on the hill last fall.  Is everything okay"? 


Naturally everyone looks that direction.  The gentleman says " We don't like that housing developement on the hill.  There is way too much snow".


Continuing with his story:  My wife had the kids were in the SUV and the road was covered with snow and ice. (duh, it is all winter long).  She had to stop because of the herd of Elk standing on the hill in the middle of the road.  She slid back down the hill and wouldn't drive up again until I came home from work".


So i have asked my husband for a snow maker!!!!!! Maybe they will all move back to the city.  At the base of this hill, a herd of Elk always graze in the field.  There have been many occassions i drive the grandkids that direction to watch.  The 3-year-old asks to me take him to see the funny cows.


So if anyone has a spare Snowmaker please send it to me.....I would love to drive the rest of the city folk out of there!!  


city folk
I'm a city girl who moved to the country a year ago, and just want to tell you we're NOT all like that! Glad your game warden & cops did that!
My family & I respect our environment and animals (neighbor's pets and wild ones)& are upset to see garbage alongside the beautiful country roads! Even went out & cleaned it up a few times (by next day it was a mess again!). We have a teen boy on our street who drives like that, too....and he's always lived here in the country!
That kid who killed the deer & tried to hit your dog will get his..."what goes around comes around".
You think we stereotype that all country people are dumb...well, aren't you stereotyping that all city people are like that family?

Johnson City HS, NY

How do I reach them? What city are they in? Do sm
you work for them?
If within city limits, you will.
I at one time ran an ad in Yellow pages with my last name and then "Typing Service" as I was trying to get students and those needing resumes. The city called me and told me I needed a business license. It is a small percentage of the gross annual income. Then, you can display it. They also want to know if there is incoming and outgoing people, whether I would be selling a product or if it was a service and whether it will be in your home and if so, would there be traffic coming and going. I did not contact my insurance company but probably should have...(I had very little business lol).
HA, I always thought her name was the city she was from!!!!
silly to have to point that out about yourself!
I'm in AL, too! Phenix City. nm

Hey Forrest City (sm)
I grew up close to there and attended high school at FCHS.  Wonder if we knew each other?
Do you mind if I ask what city...

you are working in?  I live in TN and all of the jobs I have seen advertised pay under $13 per hour.  I had no idea the hospitals here pay that much.


RE: Do you mind if I ask what city...
Memphis.
