No you're not wrong but my statement stands too

Posted By: sm on 2005-07-16

If it was your daughter missing and the media basically concentrated on a demographic other than yours, you'd be wondering why you can't get help for your daughter too. Media looks for sensationalism and the since outrage currently involves young children or affluent, pretty, white young adult females, that's what the media flocks to.

    To MLS2, you should not have made a statement like that - you could not be more wrong - sm
    you could not be more wrong. It was our fault for not looking at the service's work. The mistakes were absolutely horrendous. Our situation could have been a lot worse - if it had not been for that one doctor, our hospital could have been facing many, many potential lawsuits. The transcription service does not get sued, THE HOSPITAL DOES. Please think about that
    Well your statement sounds equally closed-minded to the one you're arguing with
    Where one person prefers to live and why is their own business and no reason to diss someone else's personal choice.
    they're wrong

    The report is not valid unless the doctor signs it.  If there is something incorrect on there and he still signs it anyway, he is verifying that the information is accurate and then he is responsible for the error, not you.  I don't believe a transcriptionist has ever been held legally liable.


    You're wrong.
    He was not making speeches about the war when the hurricane was coming or after.   I think everyone was too busy attending meetings.   But at least he wasn't blaming everyone else like Mr. Mayor.
    No, you're not wrong.
    nm
    You're still WRONG!!!
    You're too busy trying to prove everyone else wrong that you're not even paying attention to the original question, which was why do newscasters say "pleaded guilty." The answer is because that's the proper use of the word: The past tense of plead is PLEADED. The word "pled" is an Americanized version of it, probably derived from lead/led, hence plead/pled. It's acceptable - but not as proper as pleaded, which is why newscasters, public speakers, etc. use it.

    So, before you go ahead and plaster a big WRONG!!! under someone else's comment (which is so completely obnoxious), make sure that you are correct and know what everyone is talking about in the first place. Maybe you're the one who needs to do the studying up.
    I think you're wrong.
    In this instance anyway. I don't see how they can stop someone off shore from posting questions like the OP.
    They're wrong.
    Whoever told you that it is the law that you must give a SS# to register your child is misinformed. A SS# is not to be used for identification per the original intent of the SS. I have never given the school a SS# for any of my kids and they had no problem at all; they assigned a student number to each one. If this person is insistent, ask to speak to their superior or contact a school board member--that usually gets the problem solved in a hurry.
    No, you're wrong.
    The rate of pay in this industry has NOTHING to do with intelligence. There are companies willing to work for less than others. Hospitals/clinics, etc., want to see an improved bottom line, so the contract goes to the lowest bidder. It's more about the cost of living and the standard of living in the country where the work is being done.
    No, you're wrong....
    Please understand that not all Americans have the same ideas.  Some of us see things from a different angle.  Do not be closeminded.  No one is asking you to agree, but have some respect and try to learn from others' perspectives.
    You're right, everyone else is wrong. There.

    How do you know you're being trained wrong?

    Can you give some specifics?  BTW, many MT rules do not follow standard English grammar rules.  We either go by the BOS (AAMT Book of Style) or per account specs provided.  Each job is different.  If you want a paycheck, you learn to adapt to their particular style.


    I seriously doubt anybody's going to hire an untrained QA person.  A person has to have years of experience as an MT before doing QA.  Honestly, if you're that unhappy, quit.


    Wrong. You're the only one who sucks
    more than Monica. In fact, you sucked so much, you were the first american to overdose on semen. They were barely able to save you. Yo daddy and uncle ron kept your throat full of protein.
    I think you're all wrong. It's all about getting the work done
    for the hospital in the fastest time possible and my company doesn't care if I do it or if you do it (if you worked for us) or if someone else does it, just get it done for the client. So complain as you like, find somewhere else to work if you need, but get the work done. That's the bottom line.
    you're not wrong..just full of yourself.

    I dunno if you're wrong or not...
    or even a shrew or not. If it were me, though, and in fact it was me a couple of months ago, I'd not go out to lunch a couple of times to be able to get my keyboard. How much is this ergonomic keyboard you are needing anyway? When my ergonomic keyboard bit the dust a couple of months ago, I got on e-bay and got mine for $8.00 ($1.00 bid, $7.00 S&H). It came right away and my soreness and achiness for those few days went right away! But, even though this keyboard retails $50.00, I am wondering how much the one you want costs; way over $100.00? I guess what I'm getting at is I'd just take my kids to the park with Colonel Sanders AND get my ergomic keyboard too. I am sorry that your husband responded so coldly. My husband would bend over backwards to help find a for me to get the keyboard, but I can't see where I'd even make it his problem. I would just adjust my budget so I could get my keyboard and let my husband know what I was doing to be able to get it (and this is what I did a couple of months ago). I guess I don't see how this is such a huge issue; we're only talking about a couple of weeks, right? Of course your health and well-being is of great importance, and an ergonomic keyboard is a high priority because of your symptoms, but would it be that awful to adjust your budget just one time so you could get the keyboard? I guess I don't get to get out that much anyway, so missing a couple of lunches with friends wouldn't be that bad for me!

    I've totally missed something here I am sure, right?

    Anyway, I do hope your symptoms get much better soon; take care of yourself, especially regarding CTS.
    You're right, hubby & son are wrong. :) nm

    You're on the wrong board!
    This particular board is for medical transcriptionists, so we can't help you. Sorry!
    Either way, you're in the wrong place. sm
    Please read your own message. You made two errors when you neglected to take out two headers not needed, IMO. I don't mean to be rude, but you said it yourself.
    You're totally wrong.

    The hospitals know exactly where their work is being done.  Large facilities contracting with offshore (or US nationals who provide the offshore liason for them) do it knowingly and with one goal in mind - savings.  It's unfortunate, but it's happening every day.


    If you don't know what a typo is, you're in the wrong business.
    This is a message board, not a paid document.
    you're wrong, I type for an MD w/ADHD...nm

    For those who think Clay was a better more soulful singer than Ruben....those people who think that..... evidently have not one soulful fiber in their body....

    Antonio!
    Nope, you got that wrong. What we're afraid of is
    .
    You're both right and you're both wrong.
    There are too many variables to give an accurate--or even estimated--count. Using a standard 1-inch margin, you may have short lines and lots of paragraphs and get a lower count. If no paragraphs and it's a full page of text from margin to margin, you get your higher count. You can't possibly use an average count because of variables, which is why no one can commit to a pat answer.
    LOL, maybe you should stop reading anti-Bush blogs because you're wrong.

    wrong, wrong, wrong. work is being outsourced because of $. period. not because of unqualified MTs

    that's what it stands for?
    I never knew what AHDI stood for, it stands for ass for healthcare document in INDIA!!!! or is that just a joke.






    No, I think it stands for -
    Association of Hindi-speaking Dufuses, Inc.
    I think the "R" actually stands for reserved. nm
    x
    As it stands now, according to the chat
    room, is that Kaysar and Jennifer are the only two left. Apparently James gave up and walked out. Go Kaysar!
    SM stands for see message
    /
    I simply believe in God and what he stands for..
    I can't really say I am a Christian or any other particular faith. I know you have very strong convictions and I think it is wonderful, but isn't it funny how we follow and obey the bible in some instances and don't in others. The bible is a guide for us to live by. If we took it seriously, women would be in dresses, men would be working, women would not, women would have long hair, etc. Actually, Halloween is a religious day.. "The festival of Halloween is based on a combination of the Christian commemoration of the departed faithful (All Saints' Day) with the pre-Christian Celtic feast associated with a celebration of the end of summer and the Celtic New Year."


    Want to know what BOS stands for? Oh yeah,
    x
    You're probably doing nothing wrong, employee status seems to be the norm with IC status primaril
    SE status instead of IC? For me,SE status is heaven -with part of taxes paid and flexibility in my schedule. Have you ever applied to MDI-MD? They only accept qualified, experienced MTs and stress quality in their transcription. From what I read of your qualifications, it sure would be worth contacting them.

    Per "see mssgs" comment regarding age discrimination later on in this discussion, I'm 64 - no problem getting hired at a line rate higher than average. Age is not a factor with MDI-MD - knowledge and quality is !!!
    No, it stands for Screw Subcontractors!

    DVI stands for Digital Voice something, I

    can't remember.  I use this system.  My company provided my foot pedal/software.  I think the company has to provide the software, as I've never seen a single user software available.   Foot pedal will be $60-$80 depending on where you get it, may be able to find on e-bay cheaper.  


    Do a Google search for DVI compatible foot pedal.  I don't recommend TVPS.com.


    Thank you, but I'm quite aware what HIPAA stands for.
    That's why it bothers me is because so many people have it wrong. Obviously, the MTSO doesn't care about quality if she can't even get it right. What's the skin off your nose if it bothers me? Why does it bother you that it bothers me? I don't need to get over it. I'm quite happy being bothered by it. Bother, bother, bother.
    The industry is changing and as it stands

    now I would not recommend this field to anyone, but I am not worried about not having a job, at least not in the next 5 years.  I am good at what I do and can do any work type, can do ESLs with little problem, have done QA, so I feel like there will always be a job as long as I want it.  The pay may never get any better though. 


    There aren't that many jobs available, but there are so many people looking for work that a lot of companies don't feel like they need to pay to advertise.   Check with employment agencies or temporary agencies.  I worked for  temporary agency years ago and got offered full-time positions with every place I worked.


    Not sure what your career of choice is in, but you can get just about any degree on-line, or at least do all the basic courses. 


    Not sure of your financial situation, but if still paying for technical school, going part-time probably won't work for you so you could go to school or get in some type of internship for whatever you wanted to do.   


    You can sit back and wait for someone to knock on your door and offer you your dream job, but you'll most likely die waiting, or you can get your goal and work towards it.  If you aren't willing to do that, then you are stuck where you are. 


    Taylor looks constipated when he stands still
    ..
    Focus stands for Foreign

    Focus is an Indian company, you know.  Most who have been there were not happy, and many MTs only go there because they are fresh out of school and find it hard to get the experience they need.  Just FYI.


    Oh, man. The things I am thinkin' BD stands

    Maybe you are just uptight about one night stands? You should have stayed to the end.

    FTP stands for file transfer protocol.

    It is transferring files.  You log onto the FTP site using software, such as Core FTP Lite that is free, then you can upload and download files on the company's FTP server.


    Here's the link to the free download of Core FTP Lite.

    Ooops, my NM stands for nightmares in my expander, NM

    MTSO stands for Medical Transcription
    Service Owner and that is what Nationals are so, no, there is no difference. Not a dumb question at all!
    FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol
    It transfers voice files.
    Sorry about that. It doesn't really matter what the "R" stands for. Please accept my apolog
    being catty. Hope you have a good evening.
    I typed a report on the wrong patient as the doc keyed in the wrong info, SM
    He later said the correct patient's name and I SWEAR to this day I made the changes but somehow the report when through without the correct patient and changes made. I still remember that incident.
    Fantasia wrong??? Haven't seen the OP's CD, couldn't have been too wrong.
