    Can someone from the Ohio MQ office give me a contact person and a phone number to call or an email
    address. I am interesting in asking a few questions to someone there in hopes of possibly transferring but I need some info first before I go from one problem to the same one elsewhere.
    I regretted having stooped to this person's level immediately
    .
    call credit card people immediately
    and dispute charge (the back of your bill should give you the procedure on this) WRITE down everything you have done for the record. Yes, you absolutely must contact someone who knows something at hotel.com and be sure you contact the Atty General of your state and the state where hotel.com is headquartered, not to mention the BBB. Hotel.com has just got a load of bad publicity - don't forget to point that out to them. They also need to reimburse you for any charges incurred.

    Be sure to keep a paper trail...emails will work. Good luck to you.
    2 days, minimum. Call immediately or give it up.

    C-phone used to call in to dictating systems to receive work. A special phone. nm

    I E'd that address yesterday...next step I will call...thank you (no message)

    a smart person expecting an important call
    nm
    Well I wouldn't call a person "stupid" because they aren't from here, but SM
    maybe you mean because of the poor use of the language. I know what you mean.
    This is strange. I just discussed a flexible on-call person
    for radiology with the owner of Keystrokes, where I have worked for 4 years. We were discussing the feasibility of having someone trained on a few accounts, ready to do "x" number of reports a day without a fixed schedule, floating on a few different accounts.

    If anyone is interested, please email the office. You can do so through the ads on the job seekers board.
    I don't think she got the phone call.
    If she did, she would be willing to tell us.
    just got the phone call
    Is its all personalized to the individual MT I was told.  They've been watching us and the plan will be specialized to each one of us.  Why do I suddenly feel like i'm in the game clue, but the only thing thats going to get murdered is a decent paycheck.  Feeling anxious.
    Time to call the authorities and put this person out of business. no mess.
    ll
    Can't your set-up person talk you through this? Or call Dictaphone direct if you're
    s
    ANY MQ SE PEOPLE GET THE PHONE CALL YET?

    What is this all about?


    Re: MQ letter/phone call
    Has anyone heard anything definitive from a supervisor regarding what is coming in this early October packet?  Rather than speculate what "might" be coming, I'm wondering if anyone has spoken to their supervisor and gotten some sort inclination as to what's coming. 
    Call-in phone systems
    What is the best call in phone system out there. I do not want call in on tapes though. I appreciate your input. Deb
    Many phone call interruptions ...
    these days, but I had one ESL today who was dictating fine, but when he was talking on the phone I couldn't understand him at all. I just wish I knew a keyboard command to speed him up and then slow him down again when he comes back to dictate. Oh, and when he came back from his phone call he knew exactly where he'd been with no pause. How'd he do that? :oD
    I definitely feel like we are dealing with the same person! I think I need to make some phone calls
    and put a stop to her!  I cannot stand the idea that she is out there still scamming people like she scammed me!
    Thanks - I guess I have a phone call to make --
    nm
    the MQ changes letter, phone call and now packet
    got a bomb in it.
    FOLLOW UP with either an email or phone call.
    It's not being pushy or desperate. It's showing the company that you definitely are interested and motivated. MTSOs want go-getters who will get 'er done, not people who sit back waiting and waiting. You need to follow up and make sure your email didn't hit their spam filters or accidentally get deleted.
    I've had that dreaded phone call twice before. Once was
    a lab error, and the other time was precancerous but was resolved with in-office cauterization (painless), and that was 20 years ago!!!  So, don't worry - very small odds of anything really bad. 
    1. You got a phone call telling you that they are interested. 2. (sm)
    2. Since you didn't respond, you got the "canned" email telling you that you had been written off their list. That's all it was.

    There was NOTHING wrong with her leaving you a message. You may have shot yourself in the foot with this one. Hope your workflow keeps up.
    Time for a phone call when stuff like that happens. nm
    s
    I returned her phone call and she never called me back either..sm
    As a matter of fact, when I returned her call, the person answering the phone, didn't even want to take my number. I suggested that it might be a good idea.... what's up with that
    Call United way. Dial 2-1-1 from a landline phone
    or you can Google united way '_________'. fill in the blank with the name of your city. You can search their database online as well. There is help out there for you.
    Off topic whining. Got an interesting phone call today.
    DH used to have a pretty good job until the proverbial stuff hit the fan a few months ago.  With no warning whatsoever and no bad performance reviews ever, he was told his job had been phased out and he was denied his overdue promotion.  That left him unemployed and scavenging for a job.  He did find a job at maybe a third of what he used to make.  I doubled my workload and cut back the budget to try to make up some of the difference, but things still really stink financially.  The stress is about killing me with the extra hours on top of everything else I do.  Anyway, the phone call today was to let us know that he should never have been denied his promotion and his job will not be phased out now.  Unfortunately, it's too late after how his boss handled it and what was said.  He won't go back to working for that person ever again.  Sigh...  I can't blame.  I wouldn't either.  It's nice to know we were right, but it doesn't fix anything.
    Is a C-phone like Bytescribe call-in system or Philips digital transcription
    My 2 stations don't have the actual phone piece, but I can make calls to the place where I get work.  I'm just curious because I want to take a test that requires C-phone, and I'm not sure if my stations will work or not.  If anyone can give me some background or information on this, I would appreciate it.  Thank you. 
    My first job was a total cold call to small local company...got hired over the phone- sm
    give it a shot. Look in your yellow pages or on-line white and yellow pages and see what you can come up with. MT Daily has a list by state of MT companies to with their contact info. Also test your butt off anywhere and everywhere on line, you will learn a lot during the process. I found it quite enlightening when I was doing it 3+ years ago. Good luck.
    Lies
    Oh, I know what lies are, I hear them every day from the Shrub Chimp boy in the White House..Im like a human lie detector..I can detect lies from Bush, Cheney, Rummy, ugly..so ugly Rice, et. al.  Oh, please, Rice, change your hairstyle..it makes you look sooooooooooooo ugly..
    lies
    I have come across this on my own records as well. Saying things that they didn't even ask or telling you opposite stuff. I was wondering the same thing. I believe it comes down to they are overworked (sometimes) and not really paying attention to the patient's needs and exactly what they are saying. Sometimes I really wonder if these docs actually treat us the correct way, isn't that scary?
    How can you believe any of her lies...
    site was hijacked...oops maybe not....totally against offshoring (except for the offshoring that she contracts) yeah, whatever, check the yahoo log, same person sending MTStars newsletters since 2001. SHE IS IS A LIAR.

    Everything spewed from her mouth is a lie, this is no different.
    lies?
    It seems that the whole premise of the American system and way of life is based on lies these days. What happens at the top,(US Government) trickles down to the bottom.

    Transcription schools have a lot to lose if they tell their students that outsourcing is a thing of the past. Who would go for an education as an MT if they (prospective students) thought that they were going to compete with cheap labor in India? This would level the playing field.
    Yep, she used to be in payroll.
    .
    it isn't just payroll tax
    the GST/HST is added to everything you buy - so an additional 13% on food, clothing, cars, energy, education, housing, etc., etc., etc. And while it may be $50 a check for you for some people it would be a lot more and for some a lot less. Hmmmm, sounds kinda like redistribution to me.
    I also think the problem lies with all
    the advertising/seminars that tell these people that they can make $50k a year and stay at home with their children! I have worked at home for the last 12 years and my children DO NOT stay home with me unless they are sick. I am not home to "babysit" my children, I'm working.

    It just amazes me.
    Of course the lies start now...
    In fact it's sad to see how easy it is to DUPE Americans.

    Not only are the elections a total joke, but whoever gets "chosen" by the true powers will be automatically LEGITIMIZED by the other party and the media - just like GEORGE W. FRAUD was. That SHOULD scare the bejesus out of people but instead they STIL increduously continue to believe in this "system" of government... instead of revolting like they should.

    The election coming up is as fixed as any other ones: THE true POWERS THAT BE and THE MEDIA HAVE CHOSEN FOR all of us - THREE PEOPLE - one of whom will be president. The better candidates don't have a prayer in the corrupt US. because the PEOPLE will not stand up to the corruption.

    Anyone who still believes we live in a democracy (or even a representative democracy) probably also believes in the Easter Bunny.
    More industry lies...
    1200 lines per day at 8 cpl is only $96.00 per day. At that rate, if you worked eight hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, you would earn just over $35K. Who does that? Anyone working full-time for an MTSO can expect to earn less than $25K and you will rarely, if ever, see a raise. This survey is, as they say, in no way scientific. It is all designed to make people think it pays to be certified, which it does not.
    No need to submit anything for payroll if you are SE.
    The platform keeps track of your lines and dates worked. As an SE, you choose your own hours and they expect you to work them, but actual time does not need to be submitted. They, of course, would prefer you also send in a time sheet, but cannot require it.
    That is not just for payroll. It's how to find your
    xx
    That isn't just for payroll. I am from the Southeast
    and we were told by supervisors to use the method to read reports to check reports we had to send to QA if we wanted to see how they looked when the client gets them.
    I also talked to payroll and they
    are the ones who told me it was a live check. It is not direct deposit.
    Payroll service sm
    I used a payroll service, the cost was very nominal and they do all the work, keep all the records, send you statements, make out the payroll check and you hand everything over to the tax guy at the end of the year. I did open a separate checking account, it is much easier than mixing it up with your own money, keep it separate, no incorporation necessary unless you expect to expand. Just an opinion, of course. You can pay your own taxes from your account at the end of the year if you don't pay yourself each week, you can pay self-employment tax and use a Schedule C for yourself, be sure to keep some money in the bank for this.
    The problem lies with the MTSO
    Any quality MTSO will have funds available at all times to pay their workers in a timely fashion whether they have received payment from their client or not.

    Please keep in mind that MTSOs are paid a whole lot more money than they are paying out. They should be more responsible with managing their businesses. Don't you think for a minute that the owners are going without pay.

    I think it is so pathetic that MTSOs who do not pay timely take MTs for granted the way they do. If the company I work for ever sends me a check that bounces, I will be on another company's site submitting a resume and testing that same day.

    The company I work for does not offer direct deposit. Even though my check is always mailed on the proper date...it's still difficult for me because I have to wait on a check. If they don't offer direct deposit soon, I will be looking for another employer that does.
    what a crock, using lies on your kids like that
    you are an unscrupulous mt/mtso


    Don't care to hear the lies or is it don't
    care to pay what you owe? It is easy to manipulate the minds of the forum readers. If you think some people even from the offshore are incompetent why did you continuously utilize the services of these people. Did you not get paid for the jobs done by these people?
    therein lies the problem my dear sm
    Its not about you! Its about what has to be done. Like I have told people I have trained for years, learn everything you can the BEST you can and be able and WILLING to do all work types and the possibilities are better. This is not about us, this is about the patient's behind the charts! I am sorry OPs bore you but they need to be done. I hope the next time you have surgery the MT is not too bored to transcribe your record CORRECTLY or it probably will be one being done over in India with horrible mistakes.

    Somewhere over the years I see MTs who think this profession is about lines and cpl and have forgotten its about transcribing a legal medical document that can be legitimate in a court room setting if needed. Some of the stuff I see coming from supposed experienced MTs is an absolute embarrassment! I have often wondered when these medical records do have to be brought into a court room setting what other people think about the people who transcribe this stuff.

    On the subject of boredom, I absolutely despise and I mean DESPISE opthalmology but I do it and can do it as well as the other. It has to be done!

    no you crack me up. if you are on mq payroll, you should really take a cut. not to clever to not
    be able to disguise alias when trying to devise a multiple personality back-up to your multiple posts backing MQ.  LOL.  Nice try!

    No you aren't supposed to go there. That's for payroll.
