rediculous?
No need for QA to justify their jobs. It is very much needed, especially to look over work when people do not know how to spell, look up correct spelling of drugs, dosages, etc etc... I could go on and on. Do it right and then maybe you can put us out of business.
This type of post is absolutely rediculous
Why in the world do people come to this board asking such questions? Unbelievable!
B. No and E. Who cares. nm

No and Who Cares.

Who cares really...I mean is this.....
really important?  I can tell you that my life is no different now than before.  I agree with the other poster...if it will pay off the mortgage or make a payment then I will care, otherwise, NO!
who cares, he is...

Who really cares, Jay? sm
Are you the same Jay who used to be so vocal AGAINST the AAMT and offshoring and you are now their biggest fan?  Well, that says a lot about you, doesn't it?  Cheerleader #1!!!  The AAMT failed it's biggest test.  Defending and protecting the AMERICAN MT.  Then, let's have the annual convention in Hawaii, when a lot of us, Jay, are making a lot less money than we used to. We don't have the money to go to Hawaii, Jay.  Get the picture?  At any rate, whatever floats your boat.  The AAMT is bogus.  Maasalamah!!!
Nobody cares who the MVP is..
Take this nonsense somewhere else...PLEASE!
yea, right...NOT...he cares nothing about u...nm

Who cares how old it was
it is STILL happening!!!! That's the point. You just don't get it, do you. Well, you never will then. Good bye! Have to go!!!
Maybe it's not where OP is from. Who cares
x
Nobody but us cares.

And if nobody cares.... sm
Why should you? :D
awwww who CARES?????
That person probably has 10 kids of their own.  Who cares????  If you can support 'em pop 'em out like a friggin rabbit for all I care.  That poster just needs some lemonade and then they will be happy, happy, happy.  Do you remember the happy, happy, happy poster?
Dont believe me, who cares?
How silly you are.  Dont believe me, I dont care.  MQ has been sold.  I will post again once you get the news from MQ.  I will post *I told ya so*.
I do acute cares and can do 250...
not sure what you mean by copy and paste. I have text Expanders and "normals" that I use that really help, they are built into Chartscript or it may be called SoftWeb and you can add all the shortcuts you want. I am trying to learn the abcdz system of short cutting.
Who cares if you will be perceived
as a troublemaker?  There are as many of us involved in the association as you who are disgusted with the status quo and my suggestion is that you ride it out and run for office and move the problem folks to the back burner.  Believe me, it can be done.  Women, unfortunately, allow themselves to be herded and if you don't like that notion then you have to stay and do something about it.  Things don't make sense if you don't make them make sense.  If your state organization is running amuck .. report them to Modesto .. talk to Peter Preziosi directly and tell him straight out that you want action.  I think you would be very happy you chose to talk to him.
Who cares what solicitors think!
And if they think you are cranky, then maybe they won't have the nerve to stop by!! Solicitors are so annoying!!! I say, get a sign, "NO SOLICITING!"
who even cares anymore what the BOS says?
not me!
Ok. GET A LIFE! Nobody cares about JLG.

Oh brother. Who cares?

im sorry, you think Obama cares about MTs?
yea, right. im sure all the politicians do, but newsflash Obama as a president is NOT healthy for small businesses

bottom l ine there needs to be a standardized MT industry, but nobody steps up to the plate to create it. The general public has no idea you think? You think they'd like it if their medical records were being done overseas? not so sure most would... they just dont KNOW it. who fights for us anyway?
No one really cares what your typing.

Don't you get it and even if they did they wouldn't know what they are reading anyway.  Furthermore, there is something called minimize!!! It's on your screen, check it out some time, it actually minimizes the screen so no one can read your important secret information. 


It amazes me how people can jump on here and just judge away and sit back and think they are just so above everyone else.  No one cares, get it?


That is ridiculous
Sometimes people are not where they want to be but where they HAVE to be.  If I didn't have to be sitting here listening to these idiot dictators, believe me I wouldn't be.
ridiculous? no ....
I don't think my complaint was 'ridiculous'. What is ridiculous is receiving pages of scribbles in the mail on a daily basis - half of which I can't even read. THe other MT's in the company warned me already about this QA dude - he's a bit of a nut case.
No, I never claimed to know everything; and I'm open to hearing specs of individual facilities; of course!. My gripe was the pettiness of it all ... but I thought that was obvious in my post, MS Busy MT'ing. Maybe you're the one that doesn't know it all !
That's just ridiculous. nm

This is getting ridiculous.
Now there's a job on the job seekers board looking for an IC MT to do acute care with ops for 7.5 cpl.  IC!!!  With ops!!!!  Give me a break.  That's equivalent to about 6.3 cpl after paying self-employment taxes, not to mention overhead.  Their website says "HIPPA" instead of HIPAA, too.
That's ridiculous!

BUT!  We are supposed to transcribe his work with a smile on our faces....GRRRR.......  I swear they just don't THINK!!!  Good luck with that one. 


That is ridiculous. Don't come WHY?
Looks like at the very least he enjoys his peace and quiet away from family but then maybe there is more to this than meets the eye.
That's ridiculous

I also have a 4-year-old and the whole point of preschool at this age is the social interaction, then the academics come in to play.  She still has another year of preschool before Kindergarten, doesn't she?  Maybe you should consider looking into another preschool.  Sounds like the teacher is the problem. 


Oh please, how ridiculous!
It was her sister for crying out loud! And I can't even believe the OP was questioning this. Extremely odd! ;0
Ridiculous
That is really time consuming.  But that is my opinon.  What you could do is to by sylcount and save each patient as a file and then count them and they would list each file out by the patient name.  You could do an extension or by their name do cn for chart note, lt for letter, etc.  Then on your invoice if you do totals by doctor, Dr. Smith total lines, Dr. Jones total lines, etc. and attach the print out from Sylcount that would show each file by the patient's name and the line count.  I thought it was bad when I was subcontracting and I had to break out chart notes from letters/consults/x-rays by date and doctor.  This again makes me thank my accounts as I just keep an Excel monthly line count by doctor, highlight the docs, attach to an invoice that has total line counts done in Quick Books and hand it in and they pay.  Some accounts don't even want the daily break down by doctor just each doctor and a total line count.  Have never been questioned once over my line counts.   If this is a sudden change then I would tell them that there would be an hourly rate to figure this out and keep track of the time it takes.  But again, one of the simplest programs that would do this for you would be Sylcount.   Good luck. 
Really ridiculous especially when...

typing into the hospital system because all they have to do is type in a few things and get this information. 


That's ridiculous.

Is it ridiculous
to list a Brainbench certification for medical transcription on your resume?
Ridiculous
Sometimes I wonder how much nicer this industry would be without all the control fanatics.  I wish they could just be shipped out to some island to battle amongst themselves, play those control games that they enjoy so much, and leave us to complete the work in a rational time period without all these ridiculous rules.
Seems ridiculous
As much "fixing up" we do of what is actually dictated, I think it's pretty crappy if you get points off for simple punctuation.

Just think if we all left everything completely verbatum (especially those dictators who say coma every other word or say to put periods in the middle of a sentence)!
Thats the biz.. part of the reason why not everyone can or cares

I really do not like Oprah or her show! Who cares? !

Love Elton... Who cares (sm)
what he does in the privacy of his own home & life? I never saw such narrow minded people. Remember the story about glass houses... Watch someone may cast a stone to you! Lets just hope nothing you do will SHOCK anyone. Just disgusted with this conversation. Be happy for him. Life is short to spend it alone!!
Who cares about dinner? JESUS is

Who cares, we all have the same initials at one time or another. nm

who cares about pats on the back,
just show me the money!
I have not worked for a doctor yet who cares about BOS.
It is the transcription company owners who sell it not the doctors or facilities.  None of my docs want anything to do with the single space after a period.  They all still accept the 1-10 spelled out too, amoung other things.  They do not have the time to nitpic over stuff that the AAMT group is so fixated on.  They want to practice medicine and be given well transcribed, neat, correct documents and that is exactly what I do.  I say if you want to start your own...go for it!  Transcription companies will tell their Transcriptionist to do it their way anyway and someone out there might like your ideas better!
don't know...I just don't....laziness?? but on this forum, who cares? nm

That's the problem, nobody cares about anybody else anymore. SM

I'm not an idiot.  I work for the paycheck and I know the MTSO's are in it for the money.  Yes, business is business, but let me tell you, I've had a boss like you, Minnie.  A boss that could care less about her employees personal situation or how it affects their job.  She didn't want to know anything about her employees except that they can do the job.  She wanted us to punch the timeclock and type 8 hours at full speed and to heck with everything else.  So what if one of us was a single mom trying to make ends meet.  So what if someone had a death in the family and was distracted.  So what if another had just gone through a divorce and was having a little trouble feeling motivated.  Who cares?  She didn't.


And not Minnie either, apparently.


That boss who didn't care about me, got the bare minimum out of me.  When work was out of TAT and she wanted people to volunteer for OT, do you think I volunteered?  When someone called in sick and she needed someone to cover the weekend, do you think I volunteered?


Now I have a boss who truly cares about me and all her employees at the hospital I currently work for.  We love her and she loves us.  She wants to know why we're having a bad day.  She sends us cards to make us feel better.  And when our production falls off, she is always understanding.  That does mean she is a push over.  She knows when someone is taking advantage and she is fully prepared to discipline if the occasion calls for it, but she knows who doesn't take advantage and is willing to give and to those of us she trusts, she extends to us her kindness, compassion, and understanding.


And do you know what?  All of us would do anything for her because she would do the same for us.  I work OT whenever she needs it.  I have changed my shift to working until midnight because she asked me to and needed the coverage while someone was off getting surgery.  In turn, when my step-nephew was killed in a car accident, even though he wasn't a blood relative and didn't technically qualify for me to take bereavement leave, she let me take it anyway because I needed to help my sister and brother-in-law (it was his son).  And when my daughter has a field trip, she lets me flex my hours so I can go.  And when it was basketball season with my son, again I was able to flex my hours so I could make all of his games. 


Do you see where I'm going with this?


People should care about other people.  We should care that someone is a single mom and is struggling and we should offer our support and help if we can.  And the MTSO's should care about their people.  Happy people work harder.  If you show your people you care about them, they will work harder for you because they want to and they appreciate you.


Minnie, if I worked with you or for you... well I wouldn't work for you long, let's just say that. 


Nobody cares? Did you take a vote? I am interested.

Show of Hands, Who Cares?

I think you belong on the "other" board.  They love to look/talk down to people there.


Advance is irrelevant. Who cares what they say?

No one cares. I have told many people SM
their medical reports are going offshore and NO ONE CAREES. They look at me and smile, like I have just escaped from an institution. They don't give a flying fig where their reports are done. They don't even read them.
That's pretty sad...almost every doc I know cares about people.
They usually get out of that *I'm doing this to get rich* phase during their residency.
