    These kinds of posts never cease to amaze me (sm)

    Your company didn't have to send you anything. A card is a gift -- which is optional. Since when should a recipient of a gift get to dictate what the gift is or is not?

    Also, I don't think you mentioned the size of your company. Consider that not only is your attitude about the whole thing probably way off, but also you're not being realistic to think a company would have time to send each employee an individualized message.

    They remembered you. They took time to send SOMETHING. Be glad and grateful. Did you send them anything?


    Do you expect businesses to cease operating because the U.S. work force refuses to provide services?
    What will be wanted is that the immigrants pay taxes and that there are no outlaws coming and going. This is all about taxes.
    We DO exist, really we do!!

    We work long hours.


    We glady take the ESLs that others find hard or impossible to transcribe.


    We go the extra mile when you are behind to help you get caught up because we all know if the client is not happy, none of us will be making any money. 


    We don't need endless emails from your QA telling us where to put a hyphen or a semicolon.  In fact, we probably do not even take up much QA time at all.


    Yes, we are out there.  And we are working hard, getting paid a very good cpl rate because our MTSO(s) appreciate us and pay us well.


    Here's hoping that when and if, for whatever reason, one of us is looking for a position, we will meet up with you and it will be a MATCH!


    You may be able to recognize us by our lack of enthusiasm in our accomplishments.  Because we realize that our resumes speak for us and our tests will stand out. 


    yes these cases exist, but
    in very small number compared with the legitimate serious cases; and the legitimate cases, as another here said, are still just the very TIP of the iceberg.
    It dont exist
    !
    because it doesn't exist either!
    !!
    The other sites might as well not exist
    They are so self censored that they won't give a company's name, so they might as well not exist. MTStars is the best board on the internet for FREEDOM OF INFORMATION. Posters may say that people are negative on this board, but they are honest and realistic. The other boards are so full of Pollyannas they are virtually worthless -- INCLUDING boards you have to pay by the month.


    Yes, they exist.. Just sign it and put the past behind you.

    But if what they are dictating doesn't even exist.... ? nm

    To MOMT-to me *normal* does not exist

    *normal* means one has a preconceived idea of what *sanity* is....


    Everyone has got a story - there is not a family out there that does not have some kind of *story* - crosses all socioeconomic levels too......it's not just an urban blight thing - it has crossed all levels of society/cultures/religions et cetera......I don't need to tell any of you, I'm sure you are all seeing the changes from decade to decade just like the rest of us!  Sad world, indeed. 


    The Amish are the most peaceful.....they keep their doors unlocked.  THIS last thing was THE STRAW BREAKING THE CAMEL'S BACK in my mind!!!  Geesh....and a milkman no less.....an area where milk is still delivered to people's doorsteps (I grew up with that happening but haven't seen THAT in decades).  Terrible world, little optimism (what with all these *politics*), very sad, indeed.



    Does Cbay still exist? I haven't seen

    Corruption does exist in this business.
    I recall working for YOG. When it was purchased by MQ, my account suddenly became unrecognizable. It was apparent that one MT was getting the majority of the quick-money work, namely canned reports for a surgeon who did nothing else but. They are the cream of the crop and one day, they suddenly stopped coming to us. It was always the same MT who received them and then, it was clear the jobs were being assigned. Only one MT appeared to increase production and was making a ton of money comparatively speaking.

    The rumour of kick backs floated around, with the MT kicking back a portion of their income to the person assigned to job allocation. At the same time, MQ was tweaking the line count. We all watched our incomes decline except for this particular MT.

    It would be prudent if managers would observe income levels of individual MTs and if there is a sudden increase or decrease for any length of time that is out of the ordinary, an audit of the account take place by an objective staff member.

    Being paid by piece work leaves us all vulnerable to manipulation should the account managers have freedom from scrutiny.

    In this case we all were at the mercy of unscrupulous individuals as there was no oversight of the account manager.
    There's your proof- zombies exist!
    Healthy necrotic tissue.  Yep, must be zombies.  I'll have to remember to tell my hubby, as he loves all things zombie.  HA!!!
    In other words - the main board should not even exist then.

    It does exist; however, not everyone makes the same. I am paid for my experience and quality. nm

    Thanks. Just checking out options in case SE does not exist anymore next year for MQ. I dont really
    need benefits and dont really want to be an employee with set hours and the amount of hours you can work. I dont know what part time employee will be because it does not exist now but just checking around. Thanks all. Of course, no one knows what the cpl will be next year for MQ either. I dont know how many hours part time employees are allowed to work and still be considered part time or how they monitor that.
    Several companies still train on site. In fact, we are piloting an on-site training sm
    program, where everyone would come in to the Keystrokes office to train for 1 or 2 weeks. We have a large training room and feel that this may be a way to cover all aspects of an account, be right there to answer questions as they come up and have one-on-one contact.

    It will be optional at this point and may not be more effective as remote training, but some people have expressed that they miss the training that you get when you start at a hospital.

    We are trying to bridge that gap between working in-house somewhere and working at home.

    It may seem out-dated in many ways, but sometimes going back to basics is a good step to take!
    I have noticed sometimes I will try to get into a web site and that site will freeze up and I dont

    know if I have too many screens opened up and minimized or what. I tried to open a website sent by email and froze up the email screen. Not sure what I am doing.


    I subscribe to another web site and within the boards on this site they have

    Would anybody be interested if adminstrators would allow us to have this type of board or even put it on the main board.  Like on this other board they tell you to go to a certain web site for a coupon for 20% off Barnes and Noble or when Target has reduced prices on seasonal things.  Anybody got ideas or bargains they would like to share to save money?   We could call it the MT Stars penny-pinchers board.


    need web site
    Does anyone have a link for a good website for surgical references, op note references.
    other site
    unfortunately I'm pretty new here and don't know the other big web site, but would like to know what it is so I, too can see what other MQers are saying about this weekend....
    other site
    MT Chat
    Job site

    Does anyone know the site that is from A-Z with MT jobs posted? I certainly do appreciate your help.


    what site is it?
    buddies at work and it won't copy...
    Go on their web site and see what
    they really are.  (They also provide MTStars.)  They are a service for private contractors and service owners so as not to have to buy lots of and lots of electronic equipment but can use their servers, etc.  They are not a transcription service, it sounds like to me.  If  you read what they say, the provide a number for your doctors to call and then you can transcribe it or download it for 10 cents a minue (1 cent a line) and not have to buy a system yourself.  At least that is what it looks like to me.
    I don't think there is a web site to
    check it out - software is developed by in-house tech support. It is not perfect (nothing in this life is) but is a good tool to use in this job and I'm very happy with it. DRC has been a good place for me for the last 2 years or so.
    There should be a web site
    listing all these crap companies who won't pay. If I bounced a check at my local mom & pop pizza joint, you can bet it would be pinned to the wall for all to see.

    However, back to the OP: The thing I would worry about would be the OP getting stiffed for the money AND getting a 1099 that included that sum. That would be a real kick in the pants.
    Oh I will look at that site and see sm
    if it has the wheelwriter or selectric on there. If so, I will definitely buy it!
    on WM's site .. sm
    Maybe you just didn't notice it. If you make a quick trip to the website and look at most any item, you should see it. Sometimes says similar items, similar artists, etc.

    The story was on MSNBC so I think it is true. I'm surprised so many would jump and call someone else a liar without checking facts first. Washington Post released WM's apology at 8:24 this morning so I'm sure it was in other news segments as well.

    FWIW, I agree with the OP that it was probably someone with extra time on their hands up to no good.
    Here's one site that has (sm)
    some different cuts.  Lots of tips on selecting a cut too!
    PA site
    Try the AAPA website--there's a FAQ portion that tells all about PAs and what they do.

    What does FTP site mean?
    Thanks!
    Does the site have...
    XXXXXX If so, I've been banned, too! If so, totally a case of "The Ego Has Landed."
    FTP site
    Is is difficult to learn how to operate a FTP site and how would one go about it?  It is all new to me and I'm a bit apprehensive. 
    Yes, you can, go to the IRS site and they have - sm
    and electronic payment system. You can have money paid to them every week, month, etc. I set up an account and was going to do about $50 a week, but alas I have not made any payments as yet. I usually don't owe though as my DH takes enough out of his taxes to cover mine. I will only start making payments if I go over a certain monthly income, since then I will probably owe and I don't want that.

    This is where I got the bracelets.  http://www.magneticjewelry.name/


    Didn't save the ring site so got to find that one again.  Don't know about what's in the bracelets, but the rings have worn some and look like them might be copper.  They were gold and silver when new, but underside has worn to look like copper.  Rings were $13.00 each.  Bracelets were probable about that 15-20.  Really don't remember.   I didn't get the cheapest or the most expensive.      


    Here's a site that might help..
    It has a lot of info on WP12, and some info on default settings. Maybe go to tools - settings - dialog box and see if you change it there.


    http://cit.information.unl.edu/tips/wpo12installtips.pdf
    Where's the site?
    I clicked on the link and there was no article there - I would like to read it - I don't doubt for a minute that it is being done, but I just wanted to read the article for myself.
    Web site BOS

    I found this web site a few years ago.   I've seen little variation from the BOS and what they say here.  This print out is very concise with the things you would be looking for the most.


    Hope this helps.

    Web site
    Can somebody point me in the direction of a good web site for cardiology - I have recently started doing PTCA and cardiac caths and have no clue as to the majority of the catheters, guides, etc.  Any help will be truly appreciated.
    I use an FTP site...sm
    For downloading voice files and uploading my completed work. I use FTP Voyager. It is 49.95 initially and costs me 24.95 yearly to renew. I am not a pc whiz and this program is very easy for me to use. I gave you the address below if you want to check it out and see if this is what you are looking for. It is www.FTPvoyager.com I hope this helps. Good luck.
    Med site
    Thanks! 
    Right web site?
    I just checked and the website is up...are you sure you were at the right site?

    http://www.nch.com.au/scribe/
    I have my own ftp site.

    Costs about $12 a month but worth its weight!  There are lots out there.  I use Aplusnet.  Good luck!


    If you use an FTP site...sm

    there would be no need to encrypt the documents.  You need a login and password to even get access to them.  Of course, if you decide to send them via email, then by all means, it's smart to encrypt them!  IMO. 


    And More Site.....

    Some links are broken, but I believe the majority of them are working.   


    Not through this site.
    I've deleted your claims of receiving emails from us too. If you choose not to be here that's fine, but please don't come around to insult our posters or this site.
