I dont agree with any of the things you are saying here but I moved on so it doesnt matter.

a different room doesnt matter to a dirty old man "Been there done that" they dont care where
They still try. As long as they think they are "alone". Privacy is not a good thing in dealing with a pervert. Even if there are people in another room. You could scream but it would still be a situation I dont think she wants to be in.
You know, I dont think people care anymore what MQ offers or doesnt offer, I think everyone is just

sick of all the confusion, dishonesty, sneakiness, etc. You never know what is around the corner so after this there will be something else no doubt. I think I and most other MQ MTs just want a company that they can respect and trust. MQ can offer this package and turn right around and change that. Leopards dont change their spots. It seems like they are intent on running this company into the ground and they are doing a good job of it. I dont see how they ever will stand up against the money they owe all of these hospitals. You still have to wonder what prompted them to send checks out to the DQS MTs for mistakes in calculation of lines. Give me a break. Maybe they are trying to settle lawsuits to get out of the MT business and focus on just technology. They sure dont know what they are doing with the MT side for sure. I think they felt they had everyone up against a brick wall but as accounts leave so will MTs or MTs will just move on to another business as the wages get lower and lower so then all the work can go to India. Older MTs will cut back or retire and younger ones will leave for something else when they see what they have to battle with the work left over from ASR or VR for the small amount of money not to mention EMRs coming quickly.


I dont believe a word you are saying lady.

I just told my company to take this VR and put where the sun don't shine today sm

I got tired of the promises...Oh I have gals doing 10,500 lines every 2 weeks in 8 hours a day.  (I think I choked when I heard this.)


It is NOTHING for me to type 8000 lines or BETTER in a week and I get paid way more for my 8000 lines.  I have been looking for another job, either PT to augment the lack of work or FT for the right situation.  First question I ask perspective employer? How do you feel about voice.  I have talked to about 7 or 8 companies in the past 2 weeks.  EVERY ONE OF THEM has said NO WAY, NOT HERE.  It is not very good...you can't expect an MT to edit that crapola for half of what they make typing, unless you don't care the least about quality.  I had two of them tell me it was unmitigated GREED on the part of these company's owners that they even entertain it.


I will say that the cream of the crop of MTs can transcribe so much faster than they edit, it isn't even funny.  Granted, there are plenty of MTs who are stop start, stop start, but when I get into a report, I put the pedal to the floor and TYPE.  I am down to about 1.25:1 or better than that a times.  A 5-minute report will take me under 6 minutes, as a rule, to transcribe.  My accuracy is something above 99.5%. I swear what attracts MTs to editing is the fact that they can't type enough lines to make it work as a career.  Either they can't sit still (that is me most days, but my speed makes up for it), they don't know their stuff all that well, or type slower than a 7-year itch...but they are not the cream of the crop.


Just you all wait...one of these companies who has crappy speech program and crappy "editors" is going to be sued and those extremely substandard reports are going to win the case for the plantiff and the hospital is going to be left high and dry, a couple of doctors with them.  We are here for a reason.  We protect patients and patient care.  We also protect the doctors from litigation.  I used to go through medical records looking for errors, loop holes and other boo boos for a malpractice lawyer.  The better the transcription, the more thorough the dictation, the less I could find proof against a doctor or facility. 


We need a national forum for this...newspaper something.


"mean lady, ice lady, flaming monsters"
watch others feel hurt? from my computer? locked away? huh? you have clearly let your imagination run away with any powers of logic you may have had. sad.
Naaaaaaasty lady. Bad lady. Pooh.
(pouting)
Why dont you stop coming in and agitating everyone under all your different names. Dont you work.
:
Dont you think MQ will just keep hiring new people who dont know they lost lines because they are

new. I betcha.


If you dont try to fill in blank or research, dont
x
The way I understand it if you dont keep below 10 to 15% QA you dont get the bonus even if your QA
score remains above 98% so you see as the other poster said you are between a rock and a hard place and I expect this is MQ way of getting out of paying a bonus to people. I see it this way anyhow. I plan to continue to send unclear things to QA and that is the way it is. I expect depending on the new pay scale on top of this they will be losing a lot of MTs anyhow as they continue to miser everyone out of money.
Do you honestly think they do. I dont. I dont think some of them can even understand some of the

 reports they listen to quite frankly.


If you dont want to read a thread, then dont.

I think I would look for another job. Doesnt seem right

Most Dr. dont care and dont know how they get

Since dont know of any cars that dont use

No doesnt sound harsh
I agree with you to an extent about threatening with that, and I have informed family members that could be done if he does not get help and endangers them in some way. They of course say they know, I think they are trying to handle it without hurting the kids any further. He has not physically hurt them just scared them which is bad enough! Thanks
High IQ doesnt = good MT.

Link doesnt say if this can be done at home.

Above poster doesnt know how to use antibark

My dogs quickly learned when they had collar on and what that meant. They didn't bark.  Take collar off when you want them to alert you. Believe me, they know the difference between collar on and collar off.  Mine even knew the difference between dead battery and charged battery.  When they would bark with collar on, I knew it was tiime for recharge.


Then hope your boss here doesnt end up

Consulting dr. doesnt say but says he thinks

9pin doesnt work for me
There are issues with it stopping and starting. The USB works best in V8. I work in V8 and V6 still so I have both pedals :(
I still use 2. It looks better and doesnt get confused with abbr. periods.
I wouldnt change to 1 unless the AAMT Book of Style rules on it and I dont believe they have. I could be wrong on that. If anyone knows, please let me know.

Another thing I have noticed people doing is not putting a comma before the and in a list. I was always taught to use the comma but some people dont.


advil doesnt touch mine
I used to get this all the time it drove me crazy.  It felt like a constant burning band.  I was hold my arms up by my neck and shoulder.  Is there anyway you can find something to support your arms while you type?  I bought a chair with arms, and i put a 2 x 4 board across the arms and rest my elbows on that and let my fingers do the work, not my neck.  I also have a split keyboard.  When the pain was severe, like yours, I would get up and put a warm wash cloth and sort of massage it into my neck every couple of hours while stretching, and then apply some icy hot so it really penetrated into it.  As a poster stated, xanax works and anything that relaxes the muscles, Soma, or Flexeril, ativan,  buspar (antianxiety), on top of the massage, heat n stretches.  I also cut out the coffee and sugar because i'm an anxious person and I clench constantly.  That should get you through until you find away to rest the arms while working.  I know with this job, one part of our body will suffer, either arms, wrists or hand joints, even neck and shoulder.  I wish they'd invent something to take the strain off of every muscle for us gals who have to sit here day after day!  Anyways, I feel your pain, hang in there.
Is there any spyware you can use that doesnt interfere with all your other programs at all. I have
XP and service pack 2 etc etc just about all the programs you can have and Norton so dont know if they have Spyware in them or not. I have office also.
I wouldnt go get him. Just treat him tonight even if he doesnt have it
That may keep him from getting it. Head lice is a nuisance but not hard to get rid of. I wouldnt sweat it. You should change their sheets, etc...
I disagree...just because you are in a certain profession doesnt mean you cant have time off..sm
My mom has been an RN for over 40 years now and I have several family members in some of the other professions you mentioned above. A certain profession does not mean you have to work certain days/holidays. If you have vacation time you are entitled to use it whenever you wish. I used to work in a physicians office for 10 years and I always put my vacation time in for my two weeks in December in January. Other employees put their time in for summer. So while they are out having fun with their time off in July I am not crying and moaning because they are having fun in the sun while I work to cover them. It is the same thing no matter when your time off is scheduled. It has nothing to do with what field you work in. If you want time off at Christmas be a little more organized and schedule your time off way in advance. And no I dont think I am the only one with a family who would like to be off for the holidays. I just make it a priority to take my vacation at that time. You enjoy your time when you want and I will enjoy my time when I want.
What would be fair line rate if co. doesnt pay

that doesnt sound right. I have downloaded mine I know 5 times
Maybe you should talk to a different person.

You should be able to download the player again with your password. I have had mine for 5 years and never had any problem reinstalling it. I know I have installed mine 5 times.
I think they will see these newbies run faster and harder than we ever did if something doesnt suit.

Do you honestly think MQ doesnt send work to India, etc.
:
I guess it depends on which office you get switched to now doesnt it.
:
I think it is a 65 character line without spaces but doesnt that mean you have to type a lot more to
get your lines in so you really arent making 9.5 cpl in fact right. I am not sure I understand when you dont get paid for spaces how much you really lose from that. Is it 20% a report or what percentage do you lose. If a report is 100 lines with spaces then what do you really get paid for on those 100 lines without spaces. I think that is what I mean. I am just tring to figure out how much longer you have to work to get your lines in at 1000 lines a day without spaces versus 1000 lines a day with spaces. Seems it would take quite a bit longer.
maybe she doesnt read comic strips but she has her head in the clouds
you are one of those who thinks their kids can do no wrong.  right?  It doesnt matter WHAT SHE DID, it doesnt give someone the right to KILL HER!!!!!!!!! Hello!!!!!! It doesn't mean her parents were bad parents.   HELLO.   Judge not!!!!!!!
Other than the reduction in ASR starting Oct 1 the rest of the deal doesnt start until January 1 so
we all have time to move on if it does not suit us.
We actually takes turns going downstairs to "play" usually. My husband doesnt like gambling as
watch a movie or something. I normally wait until they go to bed before I go downstairs as I'm a night owl and hubby is not. During the day, I take our son swimming etc..and let dad have fun. We just alternate basically and also some of the hotels offer babysitters for a fee and I believe MGM Grand has a kid's program or at least they did. Some day we hope to be able to get a nanny that can travel with us. We have gone on a few cruises also with our son and he loves that so that is how we normally spend our vacations with him. We go Carnival as they have an excellent kid's program. We're travelers and now our son is..getting hard though because when he asks about vacations he says, "are we going to Hawaii, Bahamas, or Carribean." I can remember growing up having NO vacations. vacation was just getting out of school for the summer. Probably setting the bar too high.. LOL.Yeah, it also occured to us that we'd be like 60 or so before he is out of school and since we've been raising kids forever..we decided we wanted to take vacations with them and before we're too old to enjoy it..None of that wanting until retirement to travel for us.. We know people who put off "living" until they retire and then they cant take heat, walking long distances, or just having fun!! Our motto..Have kids.. will travel..LOL
Not to stick up for the guy, but

at least he threw a "sorry" in there (unless, of course, it was a sarcastic-sounding "sorry").  Maybe he just couldn't hold it back?  Guess that's kind of another "universal language."
