    Venting-why do people keep putting nm and THEN writing a message?? nm means no message - sm
    Please put sm if you have a message and NM if there is no message other than your subject line.  It makes it easier when reading these messages.  thanks so much and have a nice day everyone. 
    small message. nm means no message

    lol medical jargon
    They failed to put in try to figure out what they are saying while chomping on gum, slurping drinks, eating, (if they do it from home), kids screaming, fighting w/ spouse, dogs barking, sounding like they have their head in a barrel at some points in the dictation, etc.. I could go on & on about all that.. lol.. medical jargon is the ?easy part sometimes?
    Sorry, I was saying 'No' to CS being a waste of time! Yes, to CS being legitimate!

    I had previously put in the subject line "NO," but that was in response to the question about if CS was a waste of time. I didn't want anyone to get the idea that I was saying CS is not legitimate. It most certainly IS LEGITIMATE and worth every penny I paid!:) I just had to clarify that. :) Sorry, I don't usually frequent this forum.


    We transcribe "medical jargon?" What?

    I just looked at this site! My gosh--what is that guy on.  So our job is to transcribe medical jargon, huh?  According to Webster's, jargon is incoherent speech, gibberish (okay--that could be true), dialect unknown to one so that it seems incomprehensible (maybe for some of the dictators), a mixed or hybrid language (some dictators could fall into that category).


    Ah--here we go--the specialized vocabulary and idioms of those in the same work, professional, etc., sportswriters (if only we got paid THAT well) or social workers (they make less than we do), or a somewhat derogatory term, often implying unintelligibility:  see SLANG, and lastly, speech or writing full of long unfamiliar or roundabout words or phrases.


    This could explain the downward trend in pay scales for MTs!!  And very good point on not even having our own tax code--sportswriters do! 


     


     


    Just another CEO company that is handing out a line of jargon

    Yes, for just normal letters - no medical jargon - sm
    It will work fine, just take the time to train it and run the optimizer once a week or so for a few weeks and you'll be fine.
    it's spelled right. Exo means outside and you know what phrenic means. nm
    :
    Flame=200 views, sm=see message, nm=no message

    sm, see (or short) message, nm is no message.
    x
    sm-see message, nm-no message, ks-I think it's someone's initials.
    nm
    or no message, small message - whatever SM
    any indication there is no need to waste time opening the post.

    it is irritating also when people type through the subject line as well as the name line and then do not indicate if it is worth pursuing.




    sm is see message not small message. I almost always
    put NM or nt if there is no message, but quite a lot of people still open the posts as evidenced by the number of views. 
    I think what she means is....

    Kent State had a lot of conflict when Nixon declared war and the students were rioting.  They were vandalizing and burning property, fighting.  They called in guardsmen.  The guardsmen threw tear gas canisters into the crowd to disperse them and the crowd starting throwing them back.  The guardsmen started shooting into the crowd.  People are still not sure why they started shooting.  I think nine people were shot, 2 died or something like that. 


    Anway, I see the point though.  Things happen at college, does that mean you shouldnt send your kids?  And if you do, are you a bad parent and deserve to be judged? 


    What about the parents that send their kids to school the day of the Columbine High School shooting.  I guess they deserved it because they were there?


    Please tell me what this means...
    I have been trying to figure out for the last five days since I started frequenting this site...but what in the world does it mean when people put things like nm and sm in their posts?  This is driving me NUTS!!
    Not sure what that means. Can you
    tell me what ME in the letter from MQ mean? Thanks.
    What she means is (sm)
    that DocQScribe does not count the characters that you input into the demographics screen, even if you have to do it all with nothing imported. This means that characters MTs previously were paid for -- patient name, dates of service, referring physicians' names, courtesy copy names/addresses, are not compensated. If you do a lot of little reports, that will mean a HUGE decrease in line count, whereas the impact won't be so bad if you do mostly long consults. Unfortunately most companies seem to be going this way, even the very nice company I'm working for now which has me hunting through blurred PDFs of faxes to find the patient information (I'm hanging in there because it's a new account and they say they'll have the demographics imported). At MQ and DSG DQS paid for spaces; I've heard that Accuscribe does not. The "red headers" are paid for. As you say, it's simple to check your line counts using Word or MedPen's counting program.

    As lovely a platform as DQS is, the overall opinion seems to be that line counts drop dramatically when using it. I don't know if that's really always true since the second day I worked for DSG I did 1500 lines, but I know that I had to leave MQ after DQS as I never was able to make the money I felt I needed. There are still a few good companies out there, but you have to really search them out.
    You know what I think this means? sm
    The letter says pay rates are based upon experience, skill, and work difficulty.

    This leads me to believe, in conjunction with what you are saying, that our rates will be based on the above criteria. Each MT has probably been evaluated and given some rating score or something that will determine each of our "specialized new" base pay.

    What I'm anxious about is the fact SE is not mentioned. I have a feeling (JUST a feeling -- since employee was the only word used) they are doing away with SE. If so, no more quarterly bonus and the IRS perks that go along with SE status. That will make me VERY sad.
    does anyone know what this means...sm

    When I try to log on to DQS, I get a message that states that my user profile failed to download...anyone know anything about this?


    Of course, I work for MQ, and hate to call them, cause it takes forever to get an answer to a simple question, so if anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it!


    BTW, I have already logged out and in like a thousand times, plus restarted my computer, so that's not the problem.  TIA!


    it means
    turn around time
    sm means
     
    that's not what it means

    it means that six times he performed a heterosexual act that resulted in conception, but that doesn't make him a heterosexual.

    You can love Ford but still drive a Buick on occasion.


    DVI- please tell me what this means

    It may be the stupidest question but what does DVI mean and that I need to have a DVT-supported footpedal? Does anyone know where I can get one and how much it may cost?


    Thanks!


    It means don't believe everything
    you read.  A bunch of overpaid suits never transcribed a day in their life.  Also they put out propaganda trying to make more money by lying.
    What this means

    I am required to quote my charges for contract job and they ask me to


    Breakdown cost by telephone call-in to a center or audio files being sent to you.


    Any one knows about it?


    By all means.............sm

    That would be GREAT!!!  *grins* 


    Contact me whenever regarding this....oh, except when I'm in VEGAS in the autumn.  *winks*



    What it means is this
    There are a few posters on this site that are really negative, think they know everything, and post nasty rude responses to other people's postings. Some of us call them "trolls" and sometimes we get caught up in trying to make them see how rude they are by posting back. It never works though, and we call that feeding the trolls, or keeping an argument going that does not lead to anything good. I guess we should try to ignore their rudeness, but it is hard sometimes. How's that? Did I explain it okay?
    I think she means sm

    TIA as in thanks in advance. 


     


     


    I think she means...
    Oops.....new here.....lol!
    do you know what EMR means?
    It means your medical record is all electronic. She does not need to look for another job.
    n/m means
    8
    NM means no more and SM means some more
    x
    no that means that they pay 9 cpl and sm
    a line is 65 characters not just a line no matter how short. "Gross lines" are when you get paid for a line no matter how short.

    You are not an MT I take it? Not in this country either????
    Not sure what it means
    but mine says 1:17???
    I think that's what the poster means.
    If they can't report everything why is it that missing middle or upper class white females get much more attention and help than missing [insert race here] females who come from a family with very little money. Look at the case of Laci Peterson and the attention it got compared to an exact same case of Evelyn Hernandez and her 5-year-old son. She was a pregnant woman with very little money in her third trimester carrying a baby boy, who was reported missing just months before Laci. Her body was found in the same bay yet there was barely any attention at all given to that case.  The case was never solved and in fact her son is still missing to this day and we still don't even hear much about it.  I agree with the OP.  Publicity helps in getting support and if the major news networks can report every single night for months and months on one case, why can't they report some of those nights on other cases?
    Being in day care is better if it means
    they get eat, have clothes to wear and have a place to live. Yeah, they need mama, but they also need those other things, too.
    it means to "trick out" a car (sm)

    are you referring to the show?  If so, it means they get a hunk of junk car and turn it into a show car, if you will. They usually put all kinds of electronics in it, like TVs, videogames, stereos, etc.  Actually, a lot of silliness that is just a waste of money, BUT...that's what TV is all about, right? I hope this helps!


    I'm not a prude by any means,
    do those KY "personal lubricant/warming massage-stuff" commercials turn your stomach, too? I don't know what it is about those particular commercials, I just find them particularly...um...gross!   Am I alone here?
    Let's see now...it means stick it...
    hmmm...stick it....gosh!  I haven't been in banking for a while, so I'll have to get back to you on that. 
    Oh, well, by all means if it is HERE then it is the TRUTH.
    If you don't like the cut back, either opt out or leave.

    In MT world I believe it means whenever they need you
    at least that's how my local hospital advertised. You were more or less on call each week, with no set schedule. The job paid well, but no benefits and no set hours.
    I think it means it's a hot topic -
    been viewed a lot of times.
    Nothing sinister. It just means
    that a lot of people have viewed that particular posting. Not sure what number of views it is that triggers the flame icon. Some subject titles draw a lot of attention, so a lot of people click on it to see what it's about. That's all the flame means. It's nothing to worry about.
