Can you possibly be thankful? - Remember what you do have

Posted: Dec 21, 2011

So yeah a lot of Debbie Downers on here for sure. How bout you try this on. Remember what you have and not what you don't. I am working 3 jobs , 16 hours total a day to try and not lose my house. I am having no Christmas because I can't afford it and if you have a job, a roof over your head and a few presents under a tree how bout you be thankful for that and quit whining about what you don't have. If you have a job be thankful. If you don't keep plugging a way hopefully one will come your way, a job, NO MATTER WHAT IT PAYS, is a job none the less. If you think there is something better out there for you quit complaining, quit the job you hate and do something else. If you don't suck it up, quit complaining and do your job.

I am thankful I just got hired to go back in-house at $20/hr. nm - choctaw

Leaving the MTSO and going back to work in-house for a hospital was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Especially since we now all work from home. Glad it's working out for you, too.

Quit telling people what to do and how to act - anon

Hate to hear the truth and someone venting? You TOO then should look for a job out of healthcare then. I also don't appreciate people who have NO understanding. Keep typing 3 jobs and he holidays. Yes, we have things to be thankful for, but that also does not mean that things should be better. Excuse me. It is because of people doing something that everyone else benfits also. This is not the American way nor the American job. I don't believe my father fought in WWII so that I could sit and make 4 cents a line and have no insurance and type for less than minimum wage and have a linecount that exceeds a human body's inactivity time and a head that spins because of improper English and an accent that is inaudible here in the USA. A lot to complain about that needs to be addressed by OUR government also. Who will do something about this job? Doesn't look like you will, and as long as people take the abuse...it will continue.

personally, I find your post voiced in true Debbie Downer fashion itself... - thankful or not. NM

With Christmas Eve and Christmas Day falling on Saturday and Sunday (and weekends off), our paid holidays are today and Monday. Thankful for a 4-day holiday weekend - what a treat.

I have been reading a ton of posts here over the past couple of weeks, and there sure are a lot of unhappy people. It is understandable considering what people are unhappy about. With the way the economy is I am thankful I have a job even thought I hate it. I work in a call center and talk to people all day long, probably 100 people a day if not more. I want to get into transcription to get away from people. Not only do I not care for my job, but I ha ...

Today I sent an email to my company thanking them for the 200.00 Christmas bonus they sent me and telling them how thankful I was to have a good job with a wonderful company. At Thanksgiving, I sent them an email thanking them for paying double lines and hourly pay to the MTs who had to work, as well as paying hourly pay to everyone the day after Thanksgiving - giving us the day off. I admit, this is not something we are used to as MTs. That is why I am so thankful and let them know - they ...

The doctor (ESL) is giving a list of the patient's medications. He says one that sounds like "urine" and then goes on to state Omeprazole, Zyprexa, aspirin, and one that sounds like "liver maintain." Patient has a history of psychosis, seizure disorder, schizophrenia, and COPD. ...

I am doing some research on medical coding. I have looked at Andrews Coding School and Career Step. Both seem to be close but Career Step states it takes much less time to finish, which I am guessing is to get you in to their school and not reality but that is only a guess. The cost is also a huge difference. Has anyone here gone through either school and would you recomend one over the other? Any advice is appreciated. ...

I'm looking into doing online training to be a medical transcriptionist. I was wondering how much money you make once you get out of school, is it worth it? How much an hour? Also, is it easy to find a job? I really would like to work from home because I have a 5 month old daughter. Thanks! ...

Yesterday, I applied to this company. I get a reply (albeit in my junk file) saying that they want to interview me. They tell me things that I need to have (ie yahoo IM, yahoo mail etc) which I do not want to have again because I was hacked into. Today also I tried to look at the job description again to check it.(it's on another board) and it is gone. I have a bad feeling about this so if anyone else wants to apply BE CAREFUL!! ...

Management says they are considering 4 MTSOs, and that we will probably be offered jobs with whichever they choose. Mediscribes is one of the four, so we have lots of questions about Mediscribes: Has anyone else here been hired by Mediscribes because their hospital outsourced to them? Did they keep you on the same account? Did they bring you on at one rate of pay, then cut your pay later (like Nuance does)? If yes, how much later and to what rate of pay? And for any Mediscribe ...

I've been thinking of capitalizing on the need for data migration in the healthcare industry by starting my own healthcare data migration business. I've only just begun to research and gather information about this type of business. I don't know too much about IT (but know people who do) and I don't know too much about data migration at this point, but there seems to be an opportunity here somewhere for experienced MTs like me (and you), at least a temporary one, so I& ...

I am 3/4 through the Andrew's coding course and it is HARD!!! Sometimes I think I wish I went into nursing. A 2-year degree and you can start (in my area at least) at 30 an hour. With coding, at my local hospital, they start at 26 an hour for inpatient coders, BUT you need experience! I feel it may take me a few years to get up to the pay rate of 26/hour, and in between I will have to go back to school to learn ICD-10 and pass even more tests. AND, by the time I am ...

Boatload of crap in FIESA. My accuracy is so low it is pathetic. BUT no post audit ones except one which was 100% accuracy. Ironic. I guess I should be glad but it still bothers me that some of this stuff is stupid and I am getting marked off for pending a report because of the very thing they are marking me off for. I didn't think you got counted against if you pended it and that was the reason you pended it!!! They are marking me off for major error and ...
