    Oh, Lord
    And if you read it on the internet, it must be true, right?
    Oh, lord, so did I! LOL! NM

    Oh Lord!
    :(
    Oh Lord!
    That's the problem with MTg with a lot of newbies.  They never bother to employ a medical spell check that will underline mispelled words as they go!  This word is BASIC.  You should have learned how to spell it correctly the first week in MT school, or did you NOT get schooling and just "learned on your own" or "learn as I go?"
    I thank the Lord every day
    I do thank the Lord every day.  I love my accounts, where else can I make $4500  to 5000 a month and work at home.  They provide me the income to live where I want to live - watch the sun come up over the river every morning.  I am so thankful that I have what I have.  My accounts do not bore me, I like my doctors, the office staff are my friends -- we share good times, bad times.  I  would not go back into an office again for all the money in the world.  I do thank the Lord every day with my first cup of coffee because I am grateful for this. 
    Wow! You know your Lord of the Rings! nm

    Praise the Lord!
     Jesus!
    Good Lord!
    The original poster asked a question that only a person who has done at least 2 reports with lab data would know what they were saying! COME ON! If she took the time and necessary brain matter to realize that the 41 was a test result and separated it from the rest of the phrase, she might have gotten it. Obviously, either this is a person has not had any training (if she did, she would have come across amylase and lipase a million times, they are so common) or she is just not cut out for being an MT. Just my opinion but then again, I've been in the business 25 years, what do I know!
    Finally! Thank you Lord.
    It's about time all of you whiners left MedQuist. I have had enough of you complainers. It is just more work for me now! Yeah!!!! Did any of you ever think that it is time to retire? If you can't understand DocQscribe, which is so basic, I love it, you probably shouldn't be a Transcriptionist anymore. I think that is why so many of you can't get your lines up because you don't know what you are doing in the program. Anyway, thank you lord that you all are leaving. It is about time you quit complaining and do something for once in your lives.
    In regard to OH LORD
    Per administrator you need to show some kindness to the new MTs. I doubt you yourself were so wonderful when you first started out. Try to remember we are all HUMAN and we all error at some point in our lives.
    please don't take the Lord's name in vain....sm

    if you kill unnecessarily, don't say GOOD LORD.......you think KILL first before RESCUE....and yes, do some research, snakes have feelings of fear and pleasure and feel with their tongues.


    idiot.....probably a D.C./repub supporter too, kill first, ask questions later..... 


    just our way of not taking the Lord's...sm

    A way of not taking the Lord's name in vain.........My religious studies raised us this way.  It's done merely out of respect.


     Hope that answers your question. 


    Oh my Lord, I could have written
    Thank you for putting this into words that I've been thinking all along.  Phewee on QA.  QA is for weaklings.  Learn to swim or get out of the lake!!!!  
    Oh Lord, I'd be depressed again too! :D nm
    .......
    I hope this applies to companies like Medquist. I hope there
    isn't a way they can get around it. I REALLY hope.
    The Lord! All life belongs to Him!

    The me again post was in reply to Oh Lord (sm)

    I learned probably before you were born, and believe me, it was a lot harder then.  I've learned much over the years.  Another point I would like to make in regard to Fahrenheit.  If there was no spell check, and no one ever told you that you were spelling it wrong, how would you know?  That's why it drives me crazy when I see words like "definitely" spelled definately, "misspelled", spelled mispelled, and "there, their, and they're" mixed up.  People get mad when you correct them, but truly, they should know these words, and they should be happy to learn as long as it is not in a nasty way.  I had an argument one time with my son's first grade teacher.  She had them copy off the blackboard, something about daffodils, and it said something about "they're little petticoats."  I went berserk.  This was someone teaching MY CHILD the difference between the 3 "there, their, they're" words. 


    Good lord, obviously you've never
    spent hours and hours correcting the same mistakes over and over again or you wouldn't even ask. I thought her post was right on the money.
    MQ board good lord
    i need to go back to bed!!!!!!!!
    good lord but how in the world do you do 300 lph???

    "In the year of our Lord..."
    Yeah, had a doc who dictated like THAT...'In this, the year of our Lord, Two-Thousand and Eight,' and demanded it be typed out like that. He had some other really bizarre, idiosyncratic stuff too, such as references to previous presidents (which I could remember the context in which he used those references).

    I used to despise typing his reports, but I really felt bad for the poor referring physicians trying to read through all his eccentric extraneous babbling to get to what was wrong with the patient.

    Some of these docs are just...WEIRD.

    Lord love a duck! sm
    You be on a real roll! No need to diss everybody, it just gets you nowhere on your way to no place. :D
    $2000 for food???? Good Lord (sm)
    I guess Weight Watchers is the way to go.  I've been successful with WW in the past, but gained it back.  I guess it's time to go back.  I feel like the prodigal daughter. 
    Good Lord! Is all this back-biting really necessary?
    admin. where are you now? Sheesh!
    Wow, are you feeling better now? Need to justify or over-compensate? Lord.......nm
    nm
    Whaaaa....tttt? Good Lord is right! nm
    .....
    Lord forgive me for saying this, but at the start of this, they interviewed her roommates on CNN, I
    think. Maybe Fox. At any rate, the girls were rather "smug" about it all, said that Natalee was quite taken with this Dutch kid and had basically "dumped" her friends the last 2 days to hang all over this guy.  When they were asked what was "so special" about him, they said that Natalee was quite flattered that he was paying attention to her, as he was considered the "#1 Catch On the Island"...So, that certainly explains why her friends weren't "covering her back". She had ditched them more or less to be with Romeo.  Happened to me a lot in the "old bar hopping days" with my girlfriends.  One would hook up with some total stranger, and just dump the rest of us "singles" for the night.  Luckily, they all lived, though we did have a scary encounter now and again, this being in Southern Florida.

    I can't believe this. I just quit a good company and went BACK to MQ and now this? Oh, Lord! nm

    Lord, preserve me from Sam's Club! That place is dangerous!

    Good lord, enough! We get it, you love DocShuttle. How bout other options?

    i love cowboys, hardworking hardriding and they can sing too! Lord have mercy.

    Big and burly and ever so sweet and patriotic and humble.  God bless America and my singing cowboys.


    Girlie boy-men not so much.


     


    read the whole post - good lord- you act like I am telling you to work for free--
    The fact is "YOU ARE NOT TYPING THE LINE" So why get paid to type that line?

    I merely suggested hourly pay. Good Grief!! If you people didn't have something to argue about, I think you would all go bananas.
    I hope so
    I really want to do IC where I am a stay at home mom with a very active 2 yr old and hate to commit to hours until he is older. One other girl did not do IC because of this
    Wow, a ray of hope
    that's very encouraging to hear! Even though you didn't take the job, at least they seemed to be concerned as to why! Good job!!!
    I hope this is okay
    A friend of mine is in second place right now in the Staples invention contest. Please vote for Julie Savage and her Glue Swabs. Right now she is neck and neck with a musician, who has the online musician community bucking for him to win.

    Hopefully MTs have more pull than musicians.

    Oh, and you can vote once a day from each email addy you have.
    I do hope it gets better for you.
    I am struggling tremendously myself and working many, many hours to get my quota. But like yourself, I have got to have the insurance. It is so frustrating, but I will do what I have to do - and that has been a lot of praying here lately!


    I hope so,

    Oh boy, I hope I have this right...sm

    He was told to follow up.


    He presents for followup.



    I hope you
    are not still doing any work for her.  If you and she live in the same area, I would pay a friendly visit.  It's very easy for people to ignore emails.  If you speak with her face to face, even if she is unable to pay you during  your first visit.  She will find a way to get your money if she knows that you will come by again. I would continue to drop by occasionally and just say, I was doing a pick up in your area and thought I'd stop by to check the status of a few outstanding invoices.  It couldn't hurt.
    Yes, that's my only hope
    Maybe enough people will quit that there will be work.  I'm going to wait for the packet and read things over, then decide what I'm going to do.     
    Still hope
    I've never worked for a National - they turned me down years ago which was a blessing. Sent out letters to 75 local docs and now work for 3 at .15/line. Have you tried doctors in your community? Have to buy my own medical but still well worth it!
    That gives me hope...
    MQ is "rewarding" me for my dedication and expertise by routing the longest reports and foulest dictators to me simply because "You're the only one who can do them - you should feel complimented." I'm paid by the report so no matter how much I am paid - I'm screwed. Your post gives me hope that there are companies out there that don't operate like this. Thanks!
    I hope you mean I just DID it. nm
     
    Some hope
    I don't exactly agree. I think the best MTs, those that save MDs the most time, have the best chance of continuing to work in this field. I found a job in RADIOLOGY, for goodness sakes, and because the MDs are confident that reports I produce make sense (and these particular MDs actually care) so that they can concentrate on their other work, I believe they will keep me around. I think the MTs with large vocabularies (especially for the dying language of ENGLISH), will be able to find work for years to come. Make sure you continue to educate yourselves and don't daydream while transcribing just because you've done this for 20 years and know all the terms. When you are not valued in one job, look for a place where they DO care about quality. It helps to be where the MDs can talk to YOU instead of a medically uneducated supervisor. Just my experience.
    I hope you don't....
    shop at Wal-mart or other organizations/companies such as that!  You can't talk out of both sides of your mouth!
    I hope someone else says it....
    wow
    hope this will help....sm

    Well, 3 is what we have...hope that is

    it! She seems to be doing ok with them so far...she is so young we were worried about her, but so far so good! We live in the country, cats get dumped here all the time..so unfortunate because not all cats can survive as some people think. We live on a very heavily traveled road, there are coyotes, and other hazards for them to avoid! We will keep her and her babies, actually have someone who wants one of the kittens. Mom will get spayed ASAP, babies when ready. We also have 7 other cats, all male, who were stranded out here also, they are getting neutered next week. We have a barn cat/feral cat program in our county so it is a reasonable price for spaying and neutering, plus I am hoping to get a quantity discount!


    I hope so.

    My other two pregnancies were totally different.  I had energy throughout the entire nine months.  However, this is the first pregnancy that I am actually working from home so I believe that is the difference.
