Excuse us; our expertise is showing. - incognito


Posted: Feb 06, 2012

Just did a VR report where in the lab section, the VR cut off the first bit, but I'll bet most of you could fill in what was missing from context and by just knowing what should be there FROM EXPERIENCE.

LABORATORY DATA:

_____ 3.5, hemoglobin 9.8, platelets 229. 

I think that warrants being paid at least our regular, LOUSY, depreciated rate of 8 bloody cents a line instead of HALF of that.

Yes we could, however, as you well know, even though we "know" what goes there, we should leave a blank. Just when we think we "know" something they throw us a curve and it is something else.

Expertise Needed
May 20, 2010

Hi any help would be so much appreciated! I am thinking of going into MT. I have done a lot of research, some (well more than some) is negative as far as gaining employment, but then there are the positive comments. This is something that I really want to do, so I am going for it.. Can anyone please tell me if it would benefit me at all to get an AAS in Medical Transcription or would I be wasting my time and money. It is costly.   Thank you in advance to anyone who could help me out.. & ...


Computer Died Unexpectedly....seeking Expertise
Jan 21, 2013

My computer was fine last night but this morning had apparently committed suicide during the night. After powering it off and back on, I received the Dell/Windows screen that normally comes up, then it went to a black screen with the message "NO BOOT DEVICE AVAILABLE." Has anyone else ever encountered this and is it fixable?  I do have a backup computer but I had a lot of information on the hard drive of the other computer I'd love to be able to recover. TIA! ...

Excuse Me Nuance/WMX Possible Changes
Dec 02, 2011

Maybe before it is too late you should re think why WMX is still offering (to date) their production based incentive plan to new hires and why you (as WMX owners?) differ with your bonus plan based on quality. Is it true that some of these QA scores for bonus are scored with your employees in INDIA? After all we know you realize that WMX was a very good MTSO. That's why our WMX CEO (now your appointed VP over all transcription) was always so proud of  our companies ratin ...

3 Days/Doctor's Excuse Question
Nov 29, 2011

Last summer my group in the north received an email stating if you are out of work due to being sick for 3 days that HR is requesting a doctor's excuse.  I was wondering if the rest of you have heard this also.  Can't seem to find it on MQ Central.  I missed 3 1/2 days once a few years back but never that many since so I was just wondering if any of you know.  I guess it would not surprise me as they treat us like "real" workers now. TIA ...
