Do any of you ever post on Yahoo Answers? - Suzy Q

I am not sure if tihis is the right place to post this, but I used to ask questions there all the time. Now just recently I went on there and could not believe all the profanity and inappropriate subjects they let people post there. It is really awful and I am shocked to see some things that are passed up for censoring. People call each other jerks and bigoted racists all the time. I am wondering where are their moderators and why is no one doing anything to stop this. Very strange indeed.

Totally useless site. I - alana

wouldn't trust the answers of anyone on it.

The answers I read on those things sound mostly - like a bunch of pre-teens wrote them. nm

It is a horrible website - seems like a place people go to

say things that they are afraid to say in the real world. Lots of racist, nasty comments on that board. Totally useless for questions, if you post a question some troll will come along with a negative response or insult and everyone gives him a thumbs up for it.

I actually thought it was ligitimate, which is how I ended up posting there (asking a question about my car) and boy was I wrong. Real characters on there thats for sure. That was quite a while though, not sure what its like now.

Now it is much worse. - Suzy Q

Like I said above, there is no censoring at all. Anything goes and some of the subject matter is pretty outrageous. One asked how many times it is acceptable to whip your slave when he is picking your cotton. See what I mean. Alsoo always sex-oriented topics, like how many johns one should have a day or some such thing. It is definitely a site run by sicko's and racist bigots!!!!!

Teen-age boys without enough to do seem to - haunt most sites like that.

And they ultimately render useless many sites that had the potential to be wonderful resources.

There's a wealth of information available on the Internet, but you have to wade through a lot of garbage to get to it!

yea, sounds like a bunch of young kids, perverts, - or bigots. Totally agree.

According to Yahoo: Have you not heard? It's the 21st century. Threats and power plays just do not cut it anymore (and they were always a terrible way to manage). Yes, you pay people's salaries but that doesn't mean you're their lord and master. You are their leader, however. Leaders lead by inspiring, teaching, encouraging, and, yes, serving their employees. Good leaders never need to threaten. If you really want to motivate people, consider giving them a stake in th ...

Jan 07, 2010

I am new to VR and was wondering something.....How many of you actually go through and listen to the whole report and how many of you fix the errors you see, sign it off and go on? I am just looking at the high lines counts that you guys are getting per hour and am wondering if some of you are not listening to the whole report as that may take more time? I know that doesn't sound good, but just looking for honest answers here. Also, advice on how to get such high line counts wo ...

So I asked my HDSM a host of questions, which I put on here in a response to someone sometime yesterday, and it seems she's as in the dark as the rest of us are.

To those with questions regarding working for Precyse I can answer you. Don't do it. We were just informed that we now MUST make at least 260 LPH (previously was 240) OR ELSE. That's for ASR. The straight typing minimum line rate has gone up also---and those are few and far between plus usually only the very worst reports come in as regular transcription. The sound quality is terrible. A lot of the jobs go to India. You only get credited f ...

1. Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter – A Greenfield filter is an example of an IVC filter as is a Christmas tree filter, and there are other kinds. They function as a sort of net to catch any emboli to prevent them from hitting the heart or lungs. 2. If a patient has cardiac/vascular disease, there is a good chance that another will crop up, so if you have CAD (coronary artery disease) you could certainly have PAD (peripheral vascular disease), but ...

When Dr. dictates a sentence in the middle of a paragraph that goes like this: Eyes normal vision. Cardiac no carotid bruits. Cardiac regular rate and rhthym. Ears normal hearing.

I am not asking for charity or a pity party but when there is no work or insufficient work to make quotas I would appreciate the company being honest about what is happening.

Thank you. ...

Since I made my lines hours ago lol, and I'm messing around trying to let someone else make their lines, I've been roaming around, reading back posts. And I swear to you all I'm not trying to cause trouble, start drama or pick fights, I just have a very serious question. For the MTs who are "struggling" or not making it, etc and to all the MTs who are sure it's a "dying field" or it's "already dead". What keeps you in the MT field? I know jobs are real ...

Hello. I looked through the archives but couldn't find the answers I was looking for. I read the post for Phoenix medcom. I am very interested in doing front office stuff while doing transcription.

Throwing this out to any and all--MTs, management, office staff, programmers--regarding the Crescendo MedRite XL platform for transcription. Went to work for a company recently using this (their one and only mode for the work to be completed) and in my multiple decades as a highly qualified and sought-after medical transcriptionist I have never worked so hard for so little.

For the last couple of weeks, I've been sending out resumes and also frequently checking job sites such as indeed.com and simplyhired.com.
