another thing to slow you down; do they compensate?

So dump the companies or accounts that won't compensate. (nm)

You really do not need to justify or explain yourself! You need help right now - that's all!
Good for you that you can do what you do as far as making money and giving.

Honestly, you really do not need to explain yourself to anyone. You are just a time that you need help. Everyone has those times in one way or another.

You will get through it - just pinch the pennies for a little while, don't give to your church or anyone else for a short time, and get your finances in order for times like these. You will be sailing again in no time!

Good luck and Bless your heart!
QAs have to justify their jobs....sm
Imagine if we all turned out 100% perfect documents (and the MTSOs are requiring more and more expertise for less and less $$$) to their liking, they wouldn't have their jobs, right?  As MTs become more and more skilled and knowledgeable in their area, there is less and less room for criticism or correction from QA... so they have to nitpick and find something, anything to justify their own paycheck.  Having said that, it's the attitude of some of them that sucks.  Sure, they're going to figure out a difficult dictator or ESL with lots of blanks because of more exposure to that dictator than the MT has had.  "You couldn't understand Dr. Xxxxxxx? Why, I didn't have any trouble at all!  You couldn't understand that term or the dictator didn't spell that other doc's name?  Why, you were told to do an 'exhaustive search' to find that name, which I did and found (ha! ha!) and I'm getting paid for the time to do that, while you're NOT (ha! ha!). 
pet peeve, having to justify every second for pay

In other professions like nursing, nurses can just sit around for hours on end and be paid the big bucks while you have to struggle through every line/minute for your pay. We should not tolerate being treated like this. We should be paid by the hour or at least paid a decent wage.


How else to justify making you
'invest' in a new edition if they don't change stuff? 
Oh, you know how people in denial will try to justify
their choices, no matter how weak the argument or how poor the choice.
I know you'll justify this with a million
lines of -- that's not what I meant - I meant this or that or this or that. Believe me, as a kid whose mother had that YAHOO SHE'S BACK IN SCHOOL attitude, it HURTS. Your kids sense it, and its damaging to them. Try to hide your joy that they're out of your hair - for their sake.  Not trying to bash, just trying to show their side. The bus stop used to be in front of my house for years, and first days of school, always 10 or 12 parents standing with their kids. There were always 1 or 2 mothers who would cheer just as you, as the bus pulled away, and their kids were always looking back out the window at their mothers cheering. Always made the rest of us cringe for those poor kids...
How can you justify excluding the term?
If it was dictated, it stays. Period. These are legal documents as well as medical documents - if the doctor dictated the term he/she WANTS it in the report.

This is different from correcting (deleting/changing etc.) and obvious mistake. This is the MT arbitrarily deciding what to edit. *Unless* you have specific authorization for this type of (reckless in my opinion) editing) type as dictated. IMHO of course.
justify your answer origin.

I wanted to, but I can't really justify keeping the kids out
until 1:00 or 2:00 a.m. and have to drive on the Interstate to get home.  DH didn't like the sound of it either, not that I'd ever let anyone tell me what to do.  I'm just going to put the kids to bed tonight and go get the book tomorrow, then read it all in one sitting.  We're not really into face painting or wand making.  Besides, my friends said it was a mobhouse when they went and not worth it just to get the book a few hours earlier than other people.
I thought the same thing. Justify the EXTRA MONEY they're keeping
You know full well if the foreign MT was the same price they'd quit looking there too. It's all about the money. Who's he fooling?
Oh, Lord
And if you read it on the internet, it must be true, right?
Oh, lord, so did I! LOL! NM

Oh Lord!
:(
Oh Lord!
That's the problem with MTg with a lot of newbies.  They never bother to employ a medical spell check that will underline mispelled words as they go!  This word is BASIC.  You should have learned how to spell it correctly the first week in MT school, or did you NOT get schooling and just "learned on your own" or "learn as I go?"
I thank the Lord every day
I do thank the Lord every day.  I love my accounts, where else can I make $4500  to 5000 a month and work at home.  They provide me the income to live where I want to live - watch the sun come up over the river every morning.  I am so thankful that I have what I have.  My accounts do not bore me, I like my doctors, the office staff are my friends -- we share good times, bad times.  I  would not go back into an office again for all the money in the world.  I do thank the Lord every day with my first cup of coffee because I am grateful for this. 
Lord, I hope she's not an MT sm
talk about giving us a bad name! sheesh!
Wow! You know your Lord of the Rings! nm

Praise the Lord!
 Jesus!
Good Lord!
The original poster asked a question that only a person who has done at least 2 reports with lab data would know what they were saying! COME ON! If she took the time and necessary brain matter to realize that the 41 was a test result and separated it from the rest of the phrase, she might have gotten it. Obviously, either this is a person has not had any training (if she did, she would have come across amylase and lipase a million times, they are so common) or she is just not cut out for being an MT. Just my opinion but then again, I've been in the business 25 years, what do I know!
Finally! Thank you Lord.
It's about time all of you whiners left MedQuist. I have had enough of you complainers. It is just more work for me now! Yeah!!!! Did any of you ever think that it is time to retire? If you can't understand DocQscribe, which is so basic, I love it, you probably shouldn't be a Transcriptionist anymore. I think that is why so many of you can't get your lines up because you don't know what you are doing in the program. Anyway, thank you lord that you all are leaving. It is about time you quit complaining and do something for once in your lives.
In regard to OH LORD
Per administrator you need to show some kindness to the new MTs. I doubt you yourself were so wonderful when you first started out. Try to remember we are all HUMAN and we all error at some point in our lives.
please don't take the Lord's name in vain....sm

if you kill unnecessarily, don't say GOOD LORD.......you think KILL first before RESCUE....and yes, do some research, snakes have feelings of fear and pleasure and feel with their tongues.


idiot.....probably a D.C./repub supporter too, kill first, ask questions later..... 


just our way of not taking the Lord's...sm

A way of not taking the Lord's name in vain.........My religious studies raised us this way.  It's done merely out of respect.


 Hope that answers your question. 


Oh my Lord, I could have written
Thank you for putting this into words that I've been thinking all along.  Phewee on QA.  QA is for weaklings.  Learn to swim or get out of the lake!!!!  
Oh Lord, I'd be depressed again too! :D nm

The Lord! All life belongs to Him!

The me again post was in reply to Oh Lord (sm)

I learned probably before you were born, and believe me, it was a lot harder then.  I've learned much over the years.  Another point I would like to make in regard to Fahrenheit.  If there was no spell check, and no one ever told you that you were spelling it wrong, how would you know?  That's why it drives me crazy when I see words like "definitely" spelled definately, "misspelled", spelled mispelled, and "there, their, and they're" mixed up.  People get mad when you correct them, but truly, they should know these words, and they should be happy to learn as long as it is not in a nasty way.  I had an argument one time with my son's first grade teacher.  She had them copy off the blackboard, something about daffodils, and it said something about "they're little petticoats."  I went berserk.  This was someone teaching MY CHILD the difference between the 3 "there, their, they're" words. 


Good lord, obviously you've never
spent hours and hours correcting the same mistakes over and over again or you wouldn't even ask. I thought her post was right on the money.
MQ board good lord
i need to go back to bed!!!!!!!!
good lord but how in the world do you do 300 lph???

"In the year of our Lord..."
Yeah, had a doc who dictated like THAT...'In this, the year of our Lord, Two-Thousand and Eight,' and demanded it be typed out like that. He had some other really bizarre, idiosyncratic stuff too, such as references to previous presidents (which I could remember the context in which he used those references).

I used to despise typing his reports, but I really felt bad for the poor referring physicians trying to read through all his eccentric extraneous babbling to get to what was wrong with the patient.

Some of these docs are just...WEIRD.

Lord love a duck! sm
You be on a real roll! No need to diss everybody, it just gets you nowhere on your way to no place. :D
$2000 for food???? Good Lord (sm)
I guess Weight Watchers is the way to go.  I've been successful with WW in the past, but gained it back.  I guess it's time to go back.  I feel like the prodigal daughter. 
Good Lord! Is all this back-biting really necessary?
admin. where are you now? Sheesh!
Whaaaa....tttt? Good Lord is right! nm

Sorry, but your schedule doesn't justify making up your own rules. Use the word board for word q

Lord forgive me for saying this, but at the start of this, they interviewed her roommates on CNN, I
think. Maybe Fox. At any rate, the girls were rather "smug" about it all, said that Natalee was quite taken with this Dutch kid and had basically "dumped" her friends the last 2 days to hang all over this guy.  When they were asked what was "so special" about him, they said that Natalee was quite flattered that he was paying attention to her, as he was considered the "#1 Catch On the Island"...So, that certainly explains why her friends weren't "covering her back". She had ditched them more or less to be with Romeo.  Happened to me a lot in the "old bar hopping days" with my girlfriends.  One would hook up with some total stranger, and just dump the rest of us "singles" for the night.  Luckily, they all lived, though we did have a scary encounter now and again, this being in Southern Florida.

i love cowboys, hardworking hardriding and they can sing too! Lord have mercy.

Big and burly and ever so sweet and patriotic and humble.  God bless America and my singing cowboys.


Girlie boy-men not so much.


 


read the whole post - good lord- you act like I am telling you to work for free--
The fact is "YOU ARE NOT TYPING THE LINE" So why get paid to type that line?

I merely suggested hourly pay. Good Grief!! If you people didn't have something to argue about, I think you would all go bananas.
I'm so sorry you are feeling like this! I truly believe it is because
of your illness right now that this is all happening - the way you are feeling. About a week before any kind of sickness is starting in my body I go through the same exact thing. You must be paid hourly or salary because no one should have to cover for "free" and not get paid overtime! The phone co. tried to do that with my DH and other salaried workers and there's been a federal law passed that any unpaid overtime MUST be paid from Oct. of last year until now. You must gaid paid overtime even if you are salaried. Look it up and see if that is not correct.
Anyhow, good luck. LIke another poster said, get plenty of rest and I promise, next week you will be doing better.
Been there.. know the feeling
I think we start them so you and they school sports are SOOO competitive nowdays, that the kids give it all they have and then finally burn out. My son did. He played everything from tennis, golf, football, soccer to basketball. He did finish playing through high school (had finally limited it to only basketball), but did not want to play when it came to college. It broke my heart. For one thing, I was not ready to not get to see him play anymore and, secondly, how to pay for college now?  However, I didn't want to push him into something he did not want to do. We have survived college so far (he's in his third year), but now he plays sports only on a recreational basis and is very happy. He is even pursuing a degree in Sports Management and wants to be a sports agent, so he still has the love of the game. I'm just glad he didn't lose that through it all.
Feeling Up Mom...

This is simply too funny!

thank you, feeling better.

I know the feeling
I tell them up front what work types I like and that I don't want the very high rates for the crappy accounts. My company, Etransplus, lets you choose what work types you want to do and I bet you I don't get an ESL but maybe twice a month. I had also checked with them for a friend of mine and they do need ops people only.

I always tell companies that big line rates don't pay off in the long run when the accounts are so bad.
