That is an opinion and the same view could be held

In Reply to: Please ban rude and offensive MQLover - ADMINISTRATOR PLEASE TAKE NOTE

by MQLover and others who support MQ.

Rude and offensive are opinions...what some find rude and offensive others don't.

Apparently, everyone who complains about MQ doesn't find their posts rude and offensive, do they? No. So from their perspective, they aren't doing anything wrong but venting.

Same with MQLover. I don't personally care for her style but she and a few of the others are venting. It is their opinion. They aren't using foul language, which can be objectively judged and banned.

It's a matter of choice as to whether you want to read the posts or not. I think it is a reflection of how those supporting MQ really feel about those who constantly complain about it.

By the way, one of the posters in an above thread has found the perfect MQ complaint forum! It's called the Employee Complaint Form on QNet! Please use it if you have a problem with MQ!

k, that is your opinion, i stated mine. poor quality in my opinion shows bad work ethics if they do

I think the parents should be held
responsible. I'm sure the rules are less strict for older kids (he is 16). But it seems a waste of time for the teachers if he is going to only show up part of the every week. He seems to think it is funny that he has really, really bad grades. Seems he is just wasting a spot at school and the teacher's time.
They held my return
They held my return as the name on the W2 did not match my SS#.  Had to change it.   Also with all of the problems with illegals it might even be tighter now.  Good luck, why don't you just change it???
At my place we are held to the same
rules like applies for most, having to keep and maintain a high score of 97-98%, reports pulled 4-5x a year to check and we are graded so the answer to your question would be no, not just the bigger issues. Fast forward audio means I keep my audio at the fastest speed I can always, only slowing down to hear something I might not hear well. I do not use hot keys, only the mouse, was told others could edit more but that would be teaching an old dog new tricks. I really do not have any secrets, type straight really fast and I have for years, and still keep an hr by hr line count just to see how I am doing.

I have a Goldtouch. It has held up for two or three years already. nm

Are you held to a standard of lines per day.
If so, what is that standard.  We have 1200 lines a day or 150 lines an hour.  Is this the average out there?
I held down the clear button and the screen
cleared, but the program button will not work still...no buttons do. Maybe in another day it will dry out, but I need to work today. :(

Thank you for the help though!
ah yes, the hand-held recorder is portable.

Hand-held digital recorders. sm
Does anyone have anything to say about any particular model?  I am thinking along the lines of Olympus or Philips.  Thinking a docking device best.   Any comments?  Thanks!
I have held all the positions I mentioned without having an RHIT.
She was asking for ideas. I gave her some.

Maybe it was tough for you but it doesn't have to be for her. :)

Two questions: 1) What hand-held recorder do

voice files from their recorder to an FTP site or whatever to be transcribed?  Does the doctor merely have to set his recorder on a docking station and the files are automatically transferred?  I've only had doctors calling in by phone in the past, never using hand-helds.


I've seen hand-helds for $100 and also for $500.  Just wanting a recommendation for a good recorder that is very easy for the doctor to use.  If it's not easier than calling in, he won't go for it.


Being held to 5 reports a day is just crazy anyway! You learn by doing! nm

Hand-held digital recorder
No, you have it all wrong. I need the hand-held recorder in order to dictate passages for a novel to be transcribed at a later date/point in time. I have the player software, but need a hand-held recorder.
Many co. use Canadian MTs. There are also many accounts in Canada held by U.S. MTSOs

I held both of my parents as they died from complications of smoking.
I told my children they were free to smoke after they did the same. There's not one smoker among my extensive circle of friends and associates, thank goodness.
Which hand-held unit is simplest for doctors? sm
Need a handheld unit, but need to know of simplest one for doctors to use. Also, is there a program that uploads the dictation as soon as you connect the unit that sends it automatically? Thanks.
Hand-held digital recorder question

Thinking about purchasing a digital recorders to give my doctors the option of using.  Which has the best quality of sound and easiest to use?  Also, need an FTP site information.


Thanks


Mine held back two weeks and pays
every two weeks, so we submit invoices on the 1st, and the previous two weeks check is mailed on the 1st. Two week pay periods. I agree with the others....I would never agree to wait until the MTSO got paid to get MY pay.
RE: Olympus hand-held recorder - advice

what state does she live in? Was she prosecuted and sent to prison or just held in jail?
aa
Should've held out for the candy bar and refuse to leave till you get it!

and how many liberal arts and science bachelors degrees & beyond are held on this board?
LOL
Dictate into computer, hand held, pocket pc or even palm pocket
Go to http://www.nch.com.au and see their dictation and transcription software. Works great, priced great, never had a problem with it!
there you go again....different view
points is not the problem; it is how you or whomever respond to view points of others.  You should also re-read the original post.  Variety is the "spice of life", but insults and personal attacks are not acceptable in any format.  Smile. 
Different view
I've never heard anyone else complain about this, so maybe it's just me. I find them a bit cold and dull. There is less connection to the fact that there is a human being involved. It's like listening to a mechanic changing batteries all day.

They don't keep my attention as much as other acute care notes.
my view
Well when we were married (many moons ago) we wrote out our thank-yous on the plane on our way to our honeymoon. This was due to persistence from my grandmother that the thank yous had to be sent out ASAP, otherwise I don't know when they would have gotten out. I have also been to weddings in the recent years and have found that thank yous don't seem to be sent out so much anymore. We usually get an email thank you for birthday gifts that are sent, which is nice too. I guess I myself don't expect one, but it is nice to receive a thank you.
The View
I haven't been keeping up with The View as much lately. I turn it on occasionally and might see bits and pieces. In the past, I did watch it often and every time Meredith spoke she slapped the table. It was like a habit, like talking with your hands. Problem was, once I noticed it, it drove me a little nuts! I think Oprah's friend would be great.
The View
Well, Barbara says that the show is about different women with different views. It will definitely have people talking that is for sure. Who knows if it will turn into a good thing or the end.

The View
Anyone see Meredith's last day on The View?  Seems like they were trying to set the stage for Rosie's arrival with all that kissing. 
The View
I will admit that The View has never been one of my favorite shows.  I would tune in occasionally, but usually became too annoyed to watch it very long or each  day. However, I did watch Meredith's last day and after that, I started watching it every day.  I had heard Rosie was going to be taking her place and I couldn't imagine how loud and mouthy the show would be when that happened.  Suprisingly, I found that I started to enjoy the show.  Meredith was usually the one that annoyed me enough to flip the channel and with her gone, the others had more of a chance to speak.  I used to not care that much for Star, but since Meredith's departure, I have really enjoyed watching and listening to what she has to say.  I've even started taping the show daily, and now today she announces she is leaving.  I'd heard rumors and wasn't surprised, but I admit that I hate to see her go.  In the little time I have been watching since Meredith left, I have really enjoyed the show.  Oh well, it should be interesting in another way once Rosie comes on the scene.  I'm sure I'll tune in to watch the fireworks at least a few days, but I don't think I will care to watch it much after that.  Oh well.

Ok, where is the view?
Sorry tried to find, am novice at this. Thanks again!
My view to be
It sounds like they are trying to edge you out. It may be your attitude, it may be the quality of your work, it may the amount they have to pay you versus others, it may none of these things or it might all of them.

When it comes to getting another job, much of it is how you present yourself. If you are poorly spoken (i.e. they call you up, ask for you, and you say "this is her" when you should say this is SHE) or you send a cover letter with your resume and use terms like "I seen that in the newspaper" or your spelling and grammar are not perfect because you didn't proof your email...trust me, they are watching and it all adds up to what you can or cannot do for the company. Lots of us network from time to time, myself included. I talk to A LOT of MTs on a regular basis and they are always asking me who to apply with and if I have an in somewhere. Sometimes I do have "in" somewhere, but when you IM me and say, and I quote, your great...well I am not suggesting you apply anywhere I work!

It had to be said. You have to be very careful about how you present yourself and your skills. You never know who is watching.
I have a different view than you
I work with Escription and am totally surprised that it picks up even the hardest of ESLs, mumblers, cardiology, etc. I do not know that any VR would be able to make much out of static. I work part and clear over $20 an hour and probably could do more if the audio were able to be cranked up even faster.
And in view of the fact that........
women often present with atypical symptoms of a myocardial infarction, and the fact that she would have sued their PANTS OFF if she had been dismissed as having heartburn when she in fact had an MI, what is the alternative here?
Just because this is YOUR point of view does not mean you
need to resort to flaming and name calling. Everyone is allowed their OWN opinion and not everyone needs to think exactly the same. If I were not an MT and I worked at Wal-Mart (which I am sure you shop there) and some of the items came from different countries...I would then again, in your eyes, be an awful person. That is just silly. Please grow up.
re: View girls
I cannot stand the View girls. Who do they think they are! They act so high and mighty, especially Star Jones and Meredith whatshername! Please!
my point of view

Not trying to start a fight, just wanted you to look at it from their point of view. 


My husband was a branch manager for a huge company, working 12to 13 hour days.  I kept my 2 kids at home (5 and 2) AND worked AND cleaned AND cooked AND taxied AND etc..   The list goes on.  He would come home, lay on the couch and say " I just need a few minutes to relax"   Relax??  I didn't know what the hell that was. 


 


Well, he quit his job 2 months ago.  I know work a full 8-hour day, 5-yo in Kindergarten and he stays home with the 2 year old, cooks, cleans, taxies, etc.


Now when I am done with work, I want to lay on the couch and say, "I just need a few minutes to relax"    I finally understand, but on the other hand, he FINALLY understands what I was going through.  The best thing to do is communication.  If he wants to see you more, take that as a compliment and if you can, rearrange your schedule so that you CAN see him more.  I get started at 5 a.m., get 5yo ready at 7:30 (don't even want to know what she would be wearing if DH dressed her), then he takes her and I am back to work until about 1.  I am DONE at 1!!!!  It has been working out like a dream and we have just as much money as we did before. 


Pay per view movies
Our pay per view channels are the 100's.  Your system might be different.  Our system is supposed to be connected to a phone line always, but a lot of the time it is not.  We can usually still order movies with our remote.  My SIL only has a cell phone now, so I do not know how she does it.  We select the channel with the movie that we want.  Press info.  You can arrow up to exit if you do not want to purchase the program, or press menu to purchase the program.  Our system is older, so yours may work a little differently.  W have learned to be very careful because it is easy to order a movie that you really do not intend to.  Sometimes you can go into purchases and cancel.  With some things, you cannot.  My husband, who is very technically challenged, sat there one night and accidently surfed where he did not belong and accidently rented some kind of special adult presentation.  We immediately tried to cancel, but were unable to do so.  You can also go online to rent a movie, which is also easy, or you can do so by phone. 
That's why I said hit alt+V. That will give you view. nm

My point of view
We all have in mind what we would LIKE to make, FEEL our skills are worth, etc. Finding our WANTS to correlate with someone else's needs (i.e., a company, MTSO, etc.) is indeed a very tall order.

The market right now just will not bear making the money some have been accustomed to in the past.

It's a fact, whether we like it or not, and it isn't going away. It's going to get tougher and more streamlined and more technologically advanced and more globalized ...

Yes, we all feel we should be better paid. It's just that there are so many other options for making this business more profitable that we don't call the shots anymore.


I see your point of view, but
perhaps she wants it that way so she can verify it because she does not have the line counting program you have?
The View Article
I was just looking at an internet article. Supposedly Star was suppose to make the announcement on Thursday and Barbara feels betrayed by what she did. It goes into pretty good detail.
Maybe in public VIEW! lol
Article I read said it was Barbara who decided to suggest firing Star because Rosie had said the only way she would join the View was if there was no Star! That and she was annoyed by her antics over the past year. So, yeah, real class that Babs! Maybe she's been hanging out with white-trash-with-money-Rosie a little too much? Maybe next they'll ask Britney Spears to join the show. LOL!
I understand your view, I really do.
I am not smug, I assure you. I have been blessed to discover God my creator. I have gotten to know him through the holy Bible. I accepted Jesus as my Savior and I have seen God's work in my life. The Bible explains everything of the human condition. We are born with a need for God, but our sin nature doesn't want to give up our sinful ways. So humans have rejected God and created replacement gods to worship, to their detriment. The way you can tell the difference between the real thing and false religions is that false religions base salvation on a person earning heaven. There is nothing we can do to earn heaven. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He said that "No man gets to the Father except through me." So no, I'm not smug and superior at all, because I can do nothing to save myself or earn heaven. Jesus has done it all just because I confessed I am a sinner and believe on Him! That is GREAT NEWS!

I understand it sounds like brainwashing. That's because Satan is the great pretender. He makes a false copy of everything God does in order to confuse people. But you can know the difference when you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

I'm sorry I can't use human logic to explain God because his ways are not our ways, but if you ever reach a point in your life when you can't go on the way you are, then know that God, the one and only God who created you, will be there to comfort and protect you as he has me.

I don't hate people who don't believe the way I do. If I did, wouldn't I keep this to myself? You are free to choose, just like I am, but for as long as Americans are still free, I think we should be able to share, even Christian ideas.

Maybe I am misunderstanding you, but if you want to see the type larger on your screen, you only need to go up to the box that shows 100% view and type in 115 or whatever size you want, but before you send the report, you will need to use that same dropbox to change it back to 100%.
