In Reply to: The new Obama Plan for Health Records - longtimerMQMT

There is thread below about halfway down the page that started yesterday about this. I think the simple answer is we don't know yet what it means for our jobs. It's rather vague. Now, I would like to say that it is just about getting records digital and away from paper and that's it, but Obama is saying that it will save billions every year. The only way I can see that happening is by jobs being cut and I can't imagine all of them coming from record clerks who file the paper records. On the other hand he says it will create thousands of jobs, but it seems from what I have read that he is referring to computer people creating and managing the electronic records because it has been said that there aren't enough skilled people right now to handle it.

Actually there is another thread that says
the same thing - "off subject" and I have seen that several times before, so that's why I asked.  Wasn't faulting you or anyone else at all.  Thank you for explaining that you mean it's not anything to do with transcription.  Heck, we get tired of talking about transcription anyway!  Nice to be "off topic"!
this should be a fun thread

What is the shortest time you have worked for an MT company and why did you leave? I have found that I can predict the first day if the company is going to work out for me. Other experiences?


 


I saw most of that thread was gone...
so how was the chocolate frosting or did you resist it?  LOL!   Been there done that!
Probably goes with the thread below. nm

yes, this thread has gotten way off track

Now that certainly followed the thread! Bravo! Thanks for
that totally coherent thought.  When there is a thread on make up or hair color, do you post on the the War in Iraq? Probably! Perhaps the OP (original poster) who asked about working at home with a newborn had something to do with the topic being babies and...working at home! Imagine that!  Pardon us all for staying on topic.
since the thread is here.. grout? Have tried

You obviously did not read the thread from below
I was not complaining about MQ.  I was complaining about the person who says that anyone who posts anything about MQ is whining.  All I said was that this is the forum for us to talk about any problems we may be encountering, or to share tips, or give news, etc.  I just don't think it is fair that every time someone has something to say that isn't absolutely pro-MQ, they are accused of whining.  I am tired of trying to defend MQ MTs who let these assinine people insult their intelligence and then attack the person who is trying to defend their right to say anything they want on this board.  If you want to flame me, go ahead, I know that I had no malintent and I also know I have broad shoulders.
I posted this thread. (sm)
My thread isn't putting anyone down. I asked a question. If Dano or anyone else doesn't like it or doesn't want to answer, DON'T.

I have my reasons for asking the question. If others get their feelings hurt because someone has a degree or education, too bad for them. I'm not walking on eggshells because of their fractured inferiority complex. I'm not attacking them. I haven't belittled them over their lack of education; if they don't want an education that is their business.

I'm "superior feeling" because I want to know who has achieved higher levels of education.

Go away.
I think RadGuy DID see that thread.
He usually posts everyday but hasn't since before yesterday, so thanks for running off a good guy and one of the bright spots on an otherwise gloomy board of complainers. Do you feel better?
This is an EXCELLENT thread--thanks! nm
.
you don't, but you can start a new thread and
for others to reference.
This thread does not include the other 90% of us

who struggle with bad dictators to make $300 a week.



Acne - I know this thread is old, but
I found article on a dermatology site I was looking at. It's on a product that I think has been around for several years, was it Differin? Something like that. This study finds that those who use it in combination with any other acne treatment get better results (don't have my drug book with me to check the spelling).

and really, if this thread continues....sm
We should be taking this to the Medquist board/forum here and not on the Main Board where we currently are.....
Sorry - should have been posted under thread below. nm

You know this thread only perpetuates
the picture of southerns being backwards. I could not have come from any more southern roots; however I really wish others who have never visited do know we wear shoes, we can carry on a decent conversation, we have upscale neighborhoods (my hubby and I live where judges and physicians live along side among others) and never lived out of the south and never would want to. Believe it or not, the race relations here are very, very good and I would say probably better than other areas in the states. My home is in a community that has a mixture of blacks, whites, Asians, you name it we have it and such a quiet, peaceful place.
As a total aside to this thread here...

about dentists in Maine...I haven't been to a dentist since I was a kid, strictly out of fear factor.  I tried to find one yesterday because I think it's time I see someone whether I like it or not.  Of the 4 I could find, only 1 is accepting new patient's and where I don't have insurance and would be be a self-pay, they don't cut any breaks....just the initial visit and cleaning is going to run $310 buckaroos!  I asked if that price included a happy ending and the voice on the other end just went dead.  (No sense of humor apparently.)


No wonder why people are losing their teef up heyah!  


See thread below...nobody has heard of them...
and nobody can find anything for them on the internet. Look down the page for more info.
This is a WONDERFUL thread, and everything you all are saying...

is right on point and reflective of what I've been saying for years.  It seems that most of the top higher ups in this industry don't HAVE A CLUE about our work process and are only about how much they can use us to line their own pockets while taking as much out of ours as they can. 


In a perfect world we could earmark three days where NOT AN MT IN THIS INDUSTRY would generate a single line.  I'm sure THEN that those who think that they know would find out that they don't have a clue. 


But then, too, it's not a perfect world ...


Well, the whole thread disappeared...
Dontcha love it (not).
There is another thread on the board...
about this somewhere.  The people discussing it there said that the boss was very full of herself.  One of them even got hired, but she was just very difficult to work with--pushy and rude, etc.  Maybe that is where the line in the ad "Someone who is easy to work with" comes from.  That's a two way street.  Anyway, I work ophthalmology, but not for three years.  I would say those who have specialized in such a specialization would be few and far between and those who have would be making more than .07 cpl. 
Well there is already a huge thread...
Why keep it going and going?  If you all are just now realizing that AHDI is against the MT, then have you had your head in the sand the past few years or what?  Get a grip!  Life is what you make it!  This OP obviously wants to keep bringing it up and bringing it up blocking the entire board with this crap.
Look at thread below. Many sites given.

This thread is closed. (sm)
I do want to comment that it is not being closed due to comments by the original "Mary" poster. It is, however, being closed because of everyone else's responses.

If you don't like the direction a thread is moving or disagree so strongly that you cannot make good contributions to the subject matter at hand, simply refrain from posting. It will die down, take a different direction, etc.

A thicker skin needs to be grown here. Everyone has their own opinion. It doesn't mean everyone will always agree. Threads can even get intense but they don't have to dwindle to personal insults.

Yep, just read this thread below. There are
a couple on here defending it while insulting MTs who don't think they pay is fair. Really makes me wonder if they aren't MTSOs.
FUN THREAD......PET PEEVES....
So, I am sure we all have our pet peeves on things we WISH the doctors would not do while we are trying to type their dictation for them.  I thought it would be funny if we pointed them out:)  I personally can't stand when they continuously yawn while talking and just assume I was to understand what was said mid yawn, rather than repeating themselves after the yawning is complete.  I have a lot more though, lol.
I did read the thread

I believe Ella was commenting on the post directly above hers which is saying "curious" is paranoid.  I interpreted that to mean that Ella was agreeing with that comment.


 


GREAT THREAD!
My fingers and brain

Working in tandem

I type in my sleep
Nope right thread
Giblet was saying I should ask for increase for ? I can make alone if I had to because now my monthly income and other monies coming in are more than hub is making.
You should start a new thread
you just replied to a very old thread. nobody is going to see this once a message replaces yours in the 'most recent post' box.
See thread below - C phone scam

She posts C phones on the Equipment Board or trolls these boards looking for people who need equipment, then she contacts them and offers them exactly the stuff they're looking for at a REALLY great price, then pockets the money and runs.  She will try to pressure you into sending the money Western Union, and then when a week goes by and you haven't received the C phone (or whatever) she comes up with an excuse like her child is sick (or her grandmother is dying) and she had to leave town for medical treatment for three weeks (or whatever) and she's going to have her sister (or her mother) send the C phone right away, but of course they never do, and the excuses keep coming and coming and coming and coming and the C phones (or whatever) never arrive.  I'm only sorry I didn't post a message like this when it happened to me back in January, because I could have saved a lot of people a lot of money and grief!


 


You know all throughout this thread I see posters backing

pro MQ posters and funny thing, they have all the same style of writing, emphasizing their thoughts with CAPITAL LETTERS.  Could this be one MQ manager working overtime to make it appear there are lots of posters who think MQ is the greatest and anyone who doesn't like MQ has a bad attitude?  I don't know but it looks fishy to me.  Those CAPITAL LETTERS are a big give-away that one poster is assuming multiple personalities to defend MQ but isn't smart enough to change style of posting.  


Just sayin.............


 


read the thread. then post.
i'll be editing and tell you what to do next. i hope you listen to me because i will make your life 100% better with my advice. i know everything if only you will listen.
No, I'm not new I don't see the relevance of your post to THIS thread.
We were discussing the issue of why go to school for MT. I'm sorry you've OBVIOUSLY had bad experiences, but it's not my fault. Try being relevant, okay?
I did not make the first post on that thread.
:P
i think it means the thread has been opened
or read over a certain number of times
Come on guys this was an interesting thread.
Do not ruin it by getting nasty.
There you go, lets have a thread about old cars!!!
yeah.
I remember when.... let's start a new thread. It will

This will be fun, but we'll be showing our age. It must be things y ou actually remember. List as many as you want and you can separate into 'as a child' or 'as a teenager' but be truthful.  I'll begin:


As a child I remember when:


TV's were big boxes that sat on the floor.  Only black and white picture - no color.


Cars were all manual shift (my mom drove)


As a teen I remember when:


Gas was 25 cents a gallon, then the 'oil crisis' hit and it doubled to 50 cents - cost more to fill up my '65 mustang.


Bread was 35 cents a loaf.


Oh for the good ol days!
