    I just know people move to the south a
    lot and especially my town because the conditions are so much better here- not for the lower wages- that would be idiotic. As far as the wages here, my husband is in the union so we do not know about lower wages. I saw nothing in my post back to you that would set you off, though. People who don’t know about southern living often just make assumptions. Oh, I do have a cousin who is in Boston now, professor at Berkley that is moving south when he retires next year, the cost of living is more reasonable and something he can afford rather than be overpriced for what, a little lean to shack there. Those are his words, by the way.
    Google South Beach Diet forum and you'll find a good board there for information. nm

    Just remember that it is not the people on this board who short changed their people and ONLY after
    caught did they (after they were suied) make an effort to look good by sending out these checks. Now, think about this--had they done this many years ago when they short changed everyone, that would have been honest. Does it not bother you that only after they know they are under the gun that they are doing this to try and make themselves look good?

    I used to work for MQ and I used to like what I did. I never can say I really liked the people that I worked with, but I really think they had some of the best accounts that I have ever come across in the MT industry. I loved working the major teaching hospitals that I did, but that certainly does not mean that I enjoyed being cheated out of pay.

    So chill already. People have been cheated, were lied to, and only AFTER they got caught have they tried to return some of the money they robbed us of (as well as cheated their clients).

    We all have reasons not to be happy with this company and you go off on us because we are complaining of things like small refund checks of a penny or a few cents or a few hundred dollars and NO WAY to even check to find out if this is correct?

    I am sorry you are unhappy all of us thinking that there is still a dead rat in the cellar, but there is still a dead rat in the cellar and nothing will bring the dead rat back.

    I would hold no love for a company that I know willingly cheated the very people who helped THEM make money out of their hard-earned money.

    Go take a deep breath and think about that.
    Definitely one of the other board's people who refer to those on this board as "holy rollers,&
    Now go ahead and post your reply - I know you're dyin' to!

    LOL
    Some people are new to this board
    and confused.  Every heard of a NEWBIE needing help?????
    Kristen, you've got at least 3 people on this board
    that say you've scammed them. Are all three people liars??? It's not that hard to do a criminal background check on you now that we have your name. And it would not be hard to obtain your SS# after that either to find out what other states you've done this in.
    Word ? DO NOT go on this board, but people continue
    to post them.  Administrators have continuously posted DO NOT post word questions here.  Most everything else is allowed unless people get ugly and then they are told to take it elsewhere.  If you want to play you need to follow the rules. 
    Board names or not, some people, myself included...

    don't care to discuss what they make.  Why should we?  It is such an individual thing and based on so many factors that is is impossible to draw any meaningful conclusions.


    The type of work, as well as the MTs experience, ability to research effectively, retention and overall knowledge and intelligence, self-discipline (and much more) are variable, to say the least. 


    What others make is totally irrelevant to what someone else may make.


    I think people get reamed on this board because registration is not
    how they feel. I think the moderators here do a pretty good job of keeping this site clear of that sort of thing though. I personally like that I don't have to log in or show who I am when I post.
    People who read this board still apply
    at companies they are warned about.  Your book would not only be a waste of time, but no one will buy it. 
    Why is is that people come on this board and ask a question and get pissy when they don't like th
    your orginal post you are complaining about following the account specifics and not liking it and now you are blaming QA...don't get mad at other poeple if you are not clear on your original post...
    Other people have posted about the ad on the company board--
    --but the posts were deleted. I'm not sure what's up with that.
    Could this be termed false advertising. Seems like a lot more people on the other board are saying
    the same thing about MQ. If she is so religious as you claim why would she steer people to a company to have them not be able to pay their bills. Seems a bit odd to me.
    Soooo...what are you saying? That people should post something that is worthy of the board in SM
    your estimation? Would you like to have the monitors delete this post about KL and Regis? What is it that you want? Or would YOU like to think of a transcription topic and post it? What's the deal?
    Not just in this thread but hostile people on this board always, WHYYYY
    It's depressing.
    Someone please post the name of a board where I might have to pay to be a member but don't have to listen to all the mean people.
    Cute. Now you have taken to analyzing people as an anonymous poster on a MT board.
    On a Sunday morning, doncha have something better to add to the world?
    I am sick of people posting crap on this board and not backing it up. nm.
    nm.
    People tend to "embellish" the answer to this question, especially on this board.
    Some people seem to feel a need to impress strangers on an anonymous message board. Sad, but true.
    SITE ADMINISTRATOR: PLEASE ESTABLISH A BOARD FOR THE MQ PEOPLE, TRUST ME THEY'VE EARNED IT!!!!!

    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.
    south where
    Church retreats, bus tours. Casinos. (Tournaments for pinochle)....
    where in the south are you?
    some schools here started today, but mine started LAST Monday! It's kind of a relief, but I miss 'em already! Have a good first day of school!
    And here in the south we would say...
    Bless your heart, in other words you don't know any better and I feel sorry for the venom you are spewing out. You must really be one angry person! You assume this and that about the job I am doing. I format no work, keep no records, no copies. There are a lot of people out there who read these posts and it seems like you have just called a whole host of them unprofessional with the term "any professional peers" not beubg worried about their jobs. I think most of the people worrying might object to that. Just go back under your rock and I hope things pick up for you. Again, bless your heart.
    I live in the south.
    I was raised to be prejudiced.  As I became an adult I learned better.  Now I have mixed children on both sides of my family.  I really hurts me to see these children, who I love dearly mistreated.  Although the crime in the Holloway case may be a racial issue, I do not see that the media sensation is.  She was an American tourist in a foreign country.  People are interested.  That sells newspapers, magazines and time on TV news.  That says a lot about the American people.  Missing children and teenagers in the U.S. are, for lack of a better term, "old news".  Not to say that a parent of a poor missing child in this country is not just as devastated, I am saying that this is the way we have become. 
    South Florida, been there
    eight years, IC until this May, now Employee
    Hey, I WAS born in the south and I don't get it either.
    But then again, I guess south Florida is not considered "The South," right?

    I live in conservative N FL now and well, it's different..

    You and msbeanctr are right on target and very eloquet.
    have you ever lived in the south?
    If not, then don't make negative comments about people you know nothing about.
    I did South Beach also -
    and lost the tummy area first.  I was absolutely amazed how I was never hungry and didn't crave chips, ice cream and chocolate!  I found it time consuming preparing the meals, but the results were worth it.
    Goin South
    That line was the funniest in the movie! (That and "Where's my bride?!" when he meets the 80-year-old who saved him from hanging.) Now I have to get out my old VHS tape & watch it again! LOL
    Transcription South Inc
    All these days I was told that TSI is a "do not outsource company" but I was shocked to find this claim on the net by an unknown Indian company in their site "SSAPL, parent company of ISPL has recently acquired Transcription South Inc.(TSI), in Florida which is now a sister concern of ISPL and has been serving hospitals from Tallahassee to Miami for over twenty five years." (infovisionsoftware.net) Can anybody shed some light on it
    Do you either live in the south or
    where brought up the south?
    Transcription South
    I worked for them 6 years ago. The owners are nice people. The wife is a MT. They were partners with Dictaphone at the time and had some problems with the work and the relationship with them and did not have enough work, so I went elsewhere. Don't know what they are like to work for now, but the owners are really nice people.
    It is pointing south, but ...
    it has to be aimed directly at a particular satellite. There is evidently an arc of them to the south, but we are aimed at one that one of the techs admitted they were having problems with.

    I am a little south of Atlanta
    probably about 20 miles or so, used to live right in Atlanta but the living where I am very, very reasonable now. What part of NC to be so expensive?
    I'm in the south and it is hot and humid
    which makes me puffy.  If I eat anything with more than a sprinkling of salt I swell up.  I use No Salt, but if I have prepared food with a high salt content it bothers me.  Sitting on my butt or hours at a time will do it.  Increase your fluid content.  I occasionally take Lasix and I have issues with potassium loss if I take too much Lasix, but I've never had issues with dry skin/mouth.  Try propping one foot up while typing and after a while switch feet.  If you're overweight that will contribute to.  My feet used to swell so much I could barely get my tennis shoes on, would have to loosen the strings so much that there was barel enough to time them.  After a day off from work or getting out and walking I was having to tie my shoes tight again.  I have lost 40 pounds and now my feet/ankles only well if I have too much sodium.  
    That's what ours cost a year ago! Where in the South are you?

    I wonder why it's so much there than everywhere else.


     


    ????


    Not necessarily. She was in the south where christianity came first
    in the white man and black man's eyes no matter the color of skin. Was racism wrong?  Darn tootin.  But, had Rosa Parks been aetheist, buddhist, mormon or any other religion she would have gotten NOWHERE.
    Yes, happening right where I live. I am in South
    Jersey, and a local hospital here, along with ortho surgeons, has been using these nasty parts - supposedly unaware of their origin. Lots of local folk have been called in and given the news...Met a lady in a doctor's office the other day who has been sick for a long time - high fevers, shaking chills - goes to ID specialist, but still don't know what she has, but now they know the source - rotten cadaveric spine implants. In NJ, the source of all this mess is a funeral home up in North Jersey. I believe we are not to post identifying info - especially in NJ - I watch too much Sopranos, but the hospital is in South Jersey - the recipient - and the source was a funeral home in North Jersey. A Google search should give all details! Ya just never know...
    South Beach Diet
    I have had this same problem! I gain too much weight with each pregnancy, then when I finally get it off I have ended up prego again. HA. Well, it won't happen that way again. Anyhow, I did the South Beach Diet between my last 2 kids and lost 54 pounds in just a couple of months (a little over 4). I actually lost my weight in this area first. I am just starting it up again for the same reason, and because I know it works--I have done it before. The first 2 weeks are kind of hard to stick to (at least for me as all my teeth are sweet teeth), but it goes by fast actually and you won't believe when you step on the scale and each day your weight is down and you drop clothing sizes. Just typing this is enough motivation again for me to do it. I didn't exercise the last time and the weight just melted off, so I don't know about any exercises. Good luck to you! :)
    South Beach Diet
    When I did it the last time they only had the blue book out, now they have cookbooks too and the foods at the store so it will be even easier to stick to. I just bought a treadmill and am sad to say after 15 minutes I am dying! HA.

    I have even seen the South Beach books on ebay for cheap. :)
    south beach d question
    would someone tell me please a few examples of 'good' carbs and 'bad' carbs, and/or what causes them to be good or bad?  Thanks.
    Going to be hot in the South. Too hot to cook. We're having

    Love Goin South! Not many
    people have seen or even heard of that movie, but I think it has got to be one of the funniest, well-written, movies EVER!!  I have the VHS and have just recently recorded it to DVD so I NEVER lose it.. "I can do this all day long, I mean ALL day long!"    Sometimes I think this line while I'm working!  lol
    South Beach Diet sm
    beel ala orange with brown rice and broccoli, carrots, and bamboo shoots...only thing is, they forgot the brown rice...I am still hungry. yarrr.
    Sorry but truck driving is going south also
    Also had hubby as truck driver, as well as done team driving --the rates there are going down as many are coming over the borders and able to drive for less.  So that profession has dropped 50% as well or at least held its own over the past ten years which is not a progression at all.  Even owner-operators are seeing a decline.  So it is hitting everywhere. 
    I am so against ebonics and I live in the south
    Here close to Atlanta it is ridiculous to hear all the time. It is so different from what you describe above. I would rather had a very fast, slurring of words physician speaking than to hear a professional using English wrong. I actually was having a very big problem with it before moving from Atlanta and hearing it day in and day out on the news channels. I really had to tune it out, that is how bad it was. I did not allow it spoken in my home, ever and by the way, it was being offered in the lower grades in school. Some blacks, as in my post above, consider speaking without ebonics, speaking white. What a shame!
    I'm an IC for a mid south rural hospital...
    Although I get paid per minute of dictation, I have done the math and I make 10-11 cents per line.  Patti is right, it doesn't matter per line or per minute.  Its what you make per hour.  I do radiology and the basic four every day with the same dictators with a new one thrown in every now and then and have been doing so for 13 years and make anywhere from $20-35 an hour working average 5-6 hours a day.  Did not ask for a rate increase until my 8th year in which they balked at and began looking elsewhere.  Two years later asked for another rate increase in which they readily agreed to but keep better track of what I do.  Better to start low and become valuable to them than start too high.
    South of St. Louis, Missouri....
    I have been on the hospital account for 15 years and a couple years ago started doing vacation fill-in for doctor's offices. The word got around that I did this and I was getting more calls than I could handle. I did have to run to the clinic's office to download work on Flash Drive stick then come home and upload it, but I now have DSL and can type directly through their VPN site. It's so much nicer.
    ? does anyone know anything about a company Transcription South (sm)
    Just curious to know if anyone has worked for them and whether you liked or did not like them. Thanks for any help
    Definitely Co.name Transcription South, Clearwater FL

    Transcription South - Clearwater
    I used to work for an subcontractor they used. I spoke with them directly a few times for IT and QA issues. They seemed really on-the-ball and from the limited few people that I actually dealt with they were really great. It's been a few years so I don't know if much has changed. I thought they were a great company and great people to work with.
