Nope...I swear - s/m

Deals that big cannot, CANNOT, be done in a sneaky fashion.  It just doesn't happen.  I worked in investor relations for many years before my stint in MT and I promise you, if you read the fine print and follow shareholder's meetings and the daily stock news, you should never be surprised.


Not directed at you, but sometimes I think MTs love catastrophic thinking.  It's simply not realistic in this context.

    Nope, I don't feel "LUCKY" to be treated like an imbicile by my company. Nope, No way.

    I could swear I had one say
    The patient is tolerating her clothes.

    Had the boss listen and she agreed, that's what it sounded like.
    That would be me. You are very welcome. I swear by it. nm
    .
    I swear I do not change my name. Seriously.
    I don't lie. If you don't want to believe anything I say in other posts, believe this. I did not change my name to Zippy or Frankie Boy or any of the other people who are responding to me!
    You swear to never have another surgery sm
    because you know exactly what they will be doing to you.
    some swear by, but I think my hands are too big.

    Voc. Rehab. let me try one out when they were helping me get my ergonomics together, and I knew right away I could never get used to it.  I have rather "fat" fingers, though, and I think that was part of it.  If you have longer, thinner fingers, it might be right up your alley. 


    You can rent one (which can then be applied to the purchase price, I think?) for awhile from this site to try it out, rather than outright buying it.

    Are we allowed to swear? I can't believe that!
    If that is the quality of the transcription they are getting back, how on earth are they passing audits with hospitals?

    I just do not get it.
    I swear they are skimming off us somehow.

    How do you prove it though unless you are on the "inside" workings of the beast?  It's like the old Bugs Bunny where they were splitting up cash or something and the swindling character said, "One for you, one for me.  One for you, one two for me.  One for you, one two three for me...etc."



    swear words in the spellchecker would be because(sm)
    sometimes doing psychiatry notes (or any other for that matter) the MD will dictate exactly what the patient says.  If that quote contains swear words, the spellchecker will not pick these up unless it's been programmed that that they are spelled right.  It get's tedious having swears pop up all the time so they go into the spellchecker. 
    I swear, the people who manage
    this site should put a button right under  'main board' that says 'MQ Gripe Board' so that the seemingly hundreds of disgruntled MQ'ers can gripe and  argue all day long and the rest of us would be spared.  Every page of this board is filled with arguments between the MQ gripers and the few MQ folks who claim they are happy.  At some point you'd think the (MQ people) would realize that non MQ'ers don't want to hear this stuff every single day, all day long.
    I swear I could hug you right now. Evidently my expander
    left past the letter D and I was trying to replace because I have been using it for forever!!  Thank you so, so much!!!!!!!   
    I swear a troll or someone just throws these Q's out to see
    how close were paying attention to posts
    I used to swear by Sylcount but recently
    to Practicount. You get the same counts as you do in Sylcount but you don't have to save the files in the rich text format for it to work. I found it annoying to have to save everything in RTF and my version of MS Word would always ask if I wanted to save it in RTF, and I'd have to answer "yes" to two different pop-ups before it would even save. There might have been a way around that, but I found Practicount worked just as well without that bother so I switched.
    I swear I had a neurology doctor

    who would dictate into the late hours, sometimes almost hour-long dictations, and I could periodically hear the cork coming out of a bottle of wine...guess we are not the only ones that are tempted


    I swear mine does a few lines... (sm)
    And then sniffs all the way through the report, he is constantly changing his mind. You know how you can just tell when someone is "under the influence"? I would almost bet this account that this one gets all coked up before he picks up the phone! I have never done one of his reports where he is not trying to inhale the room in between sentences...
    Yes, and I swear I've gotten viruses

    from tech support screwing around.  I now have a new one, and no, I will never work on platform again or have anyone be on my computer through a meeting.  If it's not FTP work using Word, no way will I let a company mess around.


    I think they do more harm than good! 


    I swear, I just transcribed Bill Cosby! sm
    you know that voice that Bill Cosby does, kinda sounds like he's drunk?  Well, this doc I just transcribed sounded like that!!! and it's workers' comp, no less. Just had to vent a little!  It's still too early for all this!
    Hurry, watch the news & I swear

    You will see my last dictator dictating from a chopper with at least 10 choppers around him, landing in the middle of a Rolling Stones concert notifying the fans that Mick is sick and won't be there


    just don't know how better to describe this background noise that is obviously distracting to him...oh, please add,  oops change that...uhh, hmm where was I   I have a migraine now and I don't even know what one feels like and from the looks of my que, I'm going in for round 2


    Sorry I did proof my post but I swear things moved around
    Sorry for the typos. 
    Well, my husband and I paid 58% last year in taxes. I swear! sm
    I won't tell you our gross, but it's above average, we both work 70+ hours a week and we are struggling to pay our bills - parents of 3 young children.

    I am scared to death of Democrats being back in office. GW at least wants tax breaks for families like ours. If the Dems are in office I'm afraid we'll be taxed more to help pay for people like my niece who had babies beginning at age 13 and has never had a job in her life. How can this NOT outrage anyone - yet I know there are people out there who tell me to get over it, it's life, those other people are 'entitled' to our money. It's absolutely vile and disgusting.
    Some people swear by vitamins, calcium, low protein diet, Flexeril. (sm)
    try a variety of things, cuz it could be so many things.
    I am laughing so hard, I swear I fixed my 'pot' (for potassium) expander, and it came out pota
    xx
    Great post. I swear by both Advantage and Frontline Plus-- both work great! - sm
    I don't know about "natural" approaches for the house. I have always used flea bombs in the past before the miracle of Advantage and Frontline changed my life. Have not had a flea problem at all since I began using those products about 10 years ago, dose all the dogs religiously once a month with the Frontline Plus except in Dec.-Feb. to save a few bucks and because the ground is generally frozen by then and no fleas are scurring about. -- Hope you get flea free soon.
    Your son develops a rash and a fever and you swear he has Scarlet Fever! nm

    nope
    I did that for a while, gave QA, my TC everyone my private email and then I got an email and phone call from my TC, no longer would I receive emails from them unless I did it through Imail..and now this new darn system..I dont need this drama in my life, for pete sake, Im just trying to make a paycheck, ya know??
    Nope...

    not if being paid on production. Questions and blanks go straight to QA. But this could  depend on how much experience you have.


    nope
    nm
    nope! nm

    Did someone ask you what you think????? Nope!!!

    :


     


    nope!

    Nope
    .
    nope
    I would just chalk it up to experience and move on. Actually, that is just what I did, or had to do. If I was counting on them to either pass my tests, or offer me a position, I would have starved to death long ago. I had even found THEM work with a small company that was looking for an MTSO to do some of their accounts. I was promised that since I found the positions for them, that I would be one of them to test for the jobs. NEVER happened. They gave the testing and the positions to three others. When I questioned them about it, they told me that they had not even gotten the accounts, even after I learned they had signed the contracts. Consider it a loss, and take it off next year's taxes. That is the only way you will get any compensation back, and a lesson learned. But frankly, I am still bitter. Even though I found some pretty good positions and am doing now what I love. Good Luck.
    nope
    You would burn them up in no time. I would recommend unlimited services like Vonage or zerocents.com
    nope
    I would do this if not verbatim

    She is a 66-year-old white female, recently transferred to our practive with diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, who I refer, blah blah
    Nope, not for you. sm
    Sorry. I must have gotten the Florida thing wrong. I thought she also said she was going to Florida, so I'm sorry for having the wrong destination. And I wasn't trying to pick some sort of fight. I was merely posing another opinion/option. There's nothing wrong with not taking the kids on a BUSINESS trip. BTW, thanks for the all-caps on the BUSINESS thing. It didn't come off at all snotty. So, no, my response wasn't meant for you. Thanks for asking, though.
    Nope
    Gave up holidays years ago and have never regretted it.
    nope..
    you are mistaken here. type 0-9 in three lines in NotePad and save it as a file. You will see 30 bytes, not KBs.

    :)))
    Nope.
    Been there done that. The online classes are a joke and it is almost completely self study. Wish I had saved my money.
    Nope, not to much to ask and we never should

    have to!  That said, while I tried all the usuals, nothing got my kids attention as much as no clothes to wear, no clean glasses and their rooms smelling like something died in them. 


    MOM, where's my jeans?  How should I know, I did'nt wear them, usually led to finding them on the floor under 3 feet of whatever.  They all got the same printed list of how to do's and now they do them well.


     


    nope
    the company I'm involved with puts food on the table and pays my bills........I don't exactly call that "gotten to me".....
    Nope

    Sorry, but it's all hype, and potentially dangerous.  If you research it at medical sites, the phrase perforated colon is usually mentioned!

    Nope. You really don't get it, do you? sm
    I don't think any amount of explaining is going to make you understand, either. The same thing that was MISSING when you posted seeking medical advice for what could have been an emergency is the same thing that is keeping you from understanding why people are annoyed every time you post anything. Go back. Start at your post and the content of it. Begin at square 1 and read your post and the responses, followed by more of your posts. I have little hope you'll ever get a clue about anything, considering your original post.
    nope. www.dol.gov -- they don't have to do that.
    it's in their best interest to do that but not required to


    Nope!

    I surely would not, though there are many things about the job I like; i.e, working at home - making great money.  What I don't like about it is always being tied down to it - can't take days off or vacation - that sort of thing.  But then, there's no job that's perfect, right?


    Nope! I just tell her to go lay down, and she goes. nm
    x
    Nope, I have never
    had any kind of medical terminology course or MT course. I just lucked out. I worked in the billing department for a small hospital and the HIM manager called me up one day out of the blue and offered me a job as a transcriptionist. They trained me and started me out at normal certified salary.
    nope, that's not it (sm)
    I wish I had my wits about me enough to have thought to snap a picture.  Trying to remember from the quick glimpses I had (at a safe distance).  The harder I try to remember the less I do.  Kinda of like the poster above who said by the end of the week it will grow as she tells the story.  I can still see that tongue flicking at me though.  Ugh.
    nope, but I think there are
    some sort of mystery fumes filtering through the computer screens today and people have sniffed it a little too long and it gave them a major case of WHINY HINEY.
    nope. not at all
    Yes. I agree with once in a while, but on a weekly or daily basis? Nope! Especially with young children at home. Married folks have to pull together, not apart.
    DH and I have different interests on occasion. He is a runner, I'm a camper. I go camping with our youngest (16 yo DS) fairly often. DH would rather be on the track running in circles. So we often take a few days off and go in different directions -- me to the hiking trails, him to a track meet (and he's a gold medalist in the 1500 m Masters Nationals this year -- had to crow!). But when our kids were little, never, NEVER did he or I go and hang out anywhere on a regular basis. How unfair to whoever is left at home!
    Nope that was the pay I saw for a job
    That is why I asked it seemed funny
    Nope...
    this doesn't work either but thanks for trying.
