Opinion of Millions of Americans
Hate to tell you, Bush lover, this is the opinion of millions of Americans..Shrub is a failure, a jerk, an idiot, a warmonger.  This country has not been this divided and torn apart since the Vietnam war.  Bush was a uniter and compassionate conservative, yeah, right..The guy is a lying murderer and he alienates the world and half of American from him and his followers, who follow blindly, even though we have proof he lied about this illegal war, his advisor, Rove, outed a CIA operative and so much more..The guy is terrible and thank GOD he will be gone in three years.
So what?! Millions have learned it, doctors

Millions may have learned it, but rarely perfectly.
And learning it and speaking it are two different things. Lyndia makes a great point.

A pet peeve of mine is American arrogance in the sense that most of us don't really know a second language. Maybe we had some in high school, but most of the people I know speak one language, American English, and that's it. So we don't know how it is but we bash others for not learning it perfectly.

I don't mind the ESLs who try hard to communicate. I get ticked at the ones who don't care, and I think most would agree that it's obvious who those are by their dictation and their patient rapport.
NO ONE deserves ...
You wrote: After all the negative messages posted here and elsewhere about this company, if you read this and still go to work for D&L, you deserve to get screwed as badly as you most assuredly will.

That's just mean. NO ONE deserves to get "screwed." Period.

I worked for them in about 2003 and they delayed my first check over 6 weeks. They should be drummed out of business.

You are right to be outraged but take it on D&L!

CALL D&L's clients and tell them to expect their records to be subpoena'd if D&L does not pay for services rendered.
hey, how come you don't live in a trailer park? if i'm a snob, there are millions of snobs w
live in a trailer park. why do you think people make fun of trailer parks on tv or called clinton's girlfried, paula jones, "trailer park trash" when trying to dismiss her sexual lawsuit against him. trailer park trash is not a joke/phrase others have to wonder about. they have an image and it's pretty much well earned.
Everyone on this planet deserves the right
to a decent life with their families. Offshoring the jobs in this country is going to slow destroy us. Most of our skyscrapers are owned by the Japanese. Customer Service for companies has been taken over by foreign countries . This country has so much and is so great simply because this country was created by hard work and determination. Every piece that we give away takes away from us and our children and their children, and so on. It is not a matter of wanting someone to suffer because we are not a greedy country. We do so much for other countries. But, if we don't start thinking about ourselves, we are going to speak Chinese, Japanese, and English will be the second language.
She deserves congrats because SM
the test is NOT easy.  As for the other comments (useless rules, etc.), if you are going to work for any national service or even a very large one, you HAVE to know these rules.  I guess if someone wanted to stay in the safe world of typing for the doctor down the road, the rules wouldn't make that much of a difference.
May this person get the employee s/he deserves :(

Doesn't sound like she deserves one.

The president himself deserves respect only
when he begins to show respect for the office he holds, the populace he serves, and the constitution.

Huh? Your logic is amusing. She deserves Americans looking for her?
That's just not how its done, as the poster below for eloquently explains!
You are a good daughter, more than she deserves. Bless you.

This young person deserves a treat.
Great story.  Thanks for sharing.  
read my message again. no one deserves to be murdered. but you contribute to your
victimhood by your actions and you are more likely to be a victim because of your actions than others. i live in a safe neighborhood. i still lock my doors. i don't want to be a victim. i don't drink and drive. i don't hang out in neighborhoods where there is a lot of crime. don't you get it. you can't go to a foreign country at the age of 18, drink too much and hook up with people you don't know. you increase your odds of victimization.
In this expensive 21st Century, even a rank beginner deserves
even 12-15 cpl will be below minimum wage, if the current inflationary trends continue.
Millions others wish Bush would be outsourced too, as evidenced by the poll. Bush = 1st Class moron

THANK YOU LADIES!!!

Ladies, ladies, ladies!!!

First off, let's get something straight:  It doesn't matter HOW I spell words in my posts because you are NOT paying me for my posts, okay?


Now that we've gotten that out of the way, I'm giving you MY experiences - like them or not, and I don't care if you do because you weren't the one who lost $$$ coming out of the word work because of it and had a bunch of sleepless nights.  


I didn't like the experiences I've had with subcontractors I've used - I give and give and give and can't get decent work back.  Those are the cold, hard facts, like them or not.  I didn't like them!  That's why I do it all myself now.  I personally just don't have time to babysit SCs who are supposed to know how to do their jobs but for some strange reason, refuse to do it.  It was the mentality of pure slop - type it up as fast as you can and hope no one reads it!


It's a good thing I'm a nice person because I tell you, some of these SC's got me SO irritated with the slop quality of their work that I should have strangled their little necks with my own bare hands!


Ladies, please!

If the MTSO is getting, say, 12 cents a line from the client, do you REALLY expect to get paid more than 8 or 9 a line subcontracting?  I mean, after all, isn't the MTSO entitled to make SOME profit, or do you believe the MTSO is in it just for the joy of it all?


I get a little irritated listening to these SCs who expect a line rate equivalent to what an IC/MTSO is getting.  If you want those line rates, then please.....find your OWN accounts, ya know???  In the interim, please get with reality and understand that when you work for someone,you're just NOT going to get pay like you would if you worked for yourself!!!


Thanks, ladies
How did I not figure that out???  lol!
Hello Ladies
Its not the system, it works great for me. However, did not work so great at another company I was employed with. It was near impossible to make decent lines with this very hostile company who got very very ugly with me when I asked for specifics on their line counting methods. I am now with another company that uses Extext, typing the same work types, working the same hours and my lines I feel are commensurate with my speed and time actually spent typing. I feel really terrible for you guys that are going through what I went through. My advice - get another job. Don't let any company walk all over you. Don't believe everything you hear here either about "what a great place this is, or what a great place that is." Find out for yourself, if it doesn't seem right then it probably isn't. Trust your instincts.
Ladies, what is on for din din tonight?????

beef tenderloin, mushroom gravy, noodles, salad and some fruit.  Then, a whole pot coffee while I work.


Okay ladies, that's just childish

I wanted to have a serious discussion about the value of taking the test compared to the value of the profession at this point and where it's headed in the future.  I do take a lot of pride in my work, but taking the test and maintaining my certification are something that will put a strain on my already strained budget.  I'm wondering what good or if it will do any good at all to spend the money to get a 1 cpl increase and still come up short after a 55% line cut due to VR.


I keep reading posts that say if you're not happy get out, there's other jobs. And posts that say VR is the future for MT, so get used to it.  When hearing all this, it makes me wonder if I'm smart to invest to secure my future or just get out now before I invest all this and be obsolete in 10 years.


grow up ladies
Don't you get tired of the cat fighting? It isn't any wonder you don't produce any lines.
To the ladies who have their own accounts
What method do you use of receiving your dictation and tracking line count to ensure proper billing to the client?
let's not get juvenile, ladies!
why would anyone chose to be on this board, earning nothing, when you can be earning $60, $80, or more an hour? lol ... ok .. get back to work then! lol
I would hate to be one of those ladies
You have a very lousy attitude.
You ladies BOTH rock!....

Jodi and ta-shi--you both have done an amazing job!  My hat's off to you two!  PLEASE make sure you CHANGE THE LOCKS.  Once he's out of the house for, I think it's 48 hours, he can't legally come back.  So don't let him muscle his way back in!!


Congrats!!


this question is for those ladies
Do you know if it's possible to get hot flashes when you're still having your menses, like you always have?

I'll be 53 this year and "Moses" still pays me his usual visit every month. Flow is the same. Length is the same. --- But, I suppose I should be grateful, 'cause I was told once that the longer you have menses, the less your changes are of getting female cancer.

Anyway, recently, maybe within the last couple of months, and it's only happened a couple of times, I'll suddenly start to feel profusely sweaty around my neck and upper chest. I'm not doing anything in particular. Today I was having lunch. And shortly after the sweating starts I get what feels like either an anxiety attack or a drop in blood sugar (the shakes). The problem lasts for a few minutes and then disappears.

Any ideas on this?

Thanks ladies for your input.

LADIES YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY

I thought I was the only one who couldn't obtain a high line count and my ego has been crushed .  I have often wondered - am I just stupid?  I am glad someone else has this problem, makes me feel a little more normal.  (Not that I wish this on anyone) 


I have been an MT for 7 years and have never made a high line count (I do maintain a 99% accuracy score).  I believe the main reason is that the majority of MTSO do not give you dedicated accounts so that you have the same doctors over and over and over.  This is the only way to get speed (for me anyway).  I am on 2 accounts.  My primary is an ER account.  I know what the doctors are going to say before they even say it, but rarely do I have enough for a full day's work.  On the occasions when I do have my primary for a full day I can make 1200 lines easily.  But, normally I have to alternate between primary and secondary accounts on most days.  The secondary account has 300-400 doctors.  My primary has maybe 25.  That's just too many doctors. 


Another thing that has ruined dictation is the portable dictation devices that enables doctors to drive and dictate, run here and there while mumbling into them. At my very first job I was connected directly into the hospital system where doctors sat at a dictation station and dictated in a timely, orderly manner.   The voice quality was so clear it was like they were in the same room I was in. 


Then, on top of that, MTSOs  want to not pay for spaces, and instead of paying more for IC status to offset the lack of insurance they want to pay you less!  And it's not only the MTSOs, doctors and hospitals don’t want to pay anymore.  THEY can drive around in luxurious cars, live in fancy houses but they are too cheap to pay an MT.  So the MTs have to struggle to even buy groceries.   Do they realize where they would be if all the MTs just quit?  Well, that's my gripe for the day.


I wish the best to all of you who are struggling with lines counts....I understand cuz I am in the same boat. 


 


Dinner tonight ladies?
We are having steak that has been marinading in fresh garlic, olive oil, oregano and diced tomatos all day with cheesy mashed potatos, salad and fruit.  Then off to bed early for a trip to Geauga Lake for a day of fun riding roller coasters!  Cant wait!
Thanks ladies, greatly appreciated!!nm

Thank you ladies for taking the time to (sm)
respond with some very helpful information.  Can I ask one more question?  I notice in some reports there are {} marks after headings.  While this may be inherent to this hospital, I wonder if there is a "jump code" to get to each of those marks.  Thanks again.  BV
Here's another one. Don't feed the trolls ladies!

Thanks ladies. Was feeling confused--NM

Thanks - all I can say is "get your mammograms, ladies."
I do advise that if you have a chronic illness of any kind, keep your medical records with you and copies of your studies, get 2nd and maybe 3rd opinions. Know as much about your illness as possible. Don't leave it up to the staff/doctor.
It was regarding numerals. This was during my training, so I was full QA. There are 2 ladies who Q
One had made a correction from three-way catheter system to "3-way catheter system." Ironically, I got the same surgeon, saying the same thing, so typed it with the numeral. The other lady QA'd the 2nd report and she changed 3-way to "three-way" so now I'm really unclear as to what to do.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I will e/m the question to the QA team. That way, it's in their laps to figure out which way is correct.
come on, you know you married ladies aren't gettin any
  right!
