Followup to Fair Wages

I think a fair wage should be in relation to the economy, that which allows you to meet your baseline financial needs without having to work a second job or long hours. I worked for a service back in the early 80s for 6.5 cents per line. Today, nearly 30 years later, they're offering 7.5 cents per line, yet costs are sky-high. It's pathetic. It's sweatshop third world. It's true, we're stuck with the way things are, but ...

Good morning all - I'm trying for a dermatologist today. Not my usual account. She dictates "He is fair com plected" meaning he has a fair complexion. What is the right way to spell complected? I googled it, came up with a lot of variations and nothing concrete. Thanks for your time! ...

Well, in trying a couple of your suggestions, I find it did not make a substantial difference. I found I already try listening ahead and I had been using ctrl M to jump around the report when I need to, but never works for going faster through the actual report because I can't tell what is background gibberish while the dictator is thinking and what might be the dictator. Leading me to believe it must have a lot to do with the account. I can never go too far ahead of the d ...

It's always the little things that snag me up. I know the rules on follow up as a verb and followup as a noun and adjective, but when a doc says, "CHIEF COMPLAINT: Follow up acne", does he mean "recheck acne" which would make follow up a verb and thus spelled follow up, or does he mean "here for a followup of acne"? and thus the followup spelling. What is the general rule on this "shortened" statement? Thanks. ...

Does anyone have a good way to explain the difference in how to use them? ...

I think it is a ridiculous thing to lose points over, but I am INSISTING that the way I typed this sentence is correct: The patient returned to the cancer center for followup of her metastatic cancer. Isn't "returned" the verb in this sentence? I am adamant that followup should be one word here, but I am being told it should be "The patient returned to the cancer center for follow up of her metastatic cancer". This is making me crazy. The explanation I r ...

Last night I had a company call me because they were interested in me working for them. I had taken the test about 2 weeks prior. My question is how long should I wait to send a followup email? She sounded like she wanted to get me started ASAP but needed to check with my references first. I keep imagining the worst and thinking my references weren't that great and I won't hear back. Thanks so much for the advice!! ...

... when dictators say "ORO-FAIR-NIX" for oropharynx or "LAIR-NIX" for larynx? When they think of lynx do they say "LNIX" or manx and say "MNAX" ?? :) ...

This may have been discussed before, and if so, I missed it, but SR seems to be getting worse and worse all the time (and I use M*Modal for two different MTSOs), picking up less and less of what is actually said. This is even on very clear-speaking dictators. Some have been to the point of SR getting maybe 2 words right in 2 sentences. In this case, I'm actually "typing," but getting paid the SR rate. It struck me that the only fair way to be paid would be to be paid ...

I would like to thank you all for the many responses I received regarding my post last week, regardless as to if they were positive or negative responses. When I posted I knew I was putting my head on the chopping block so to speak. I respect everyone's opinions. and the reason behind all prior posts was to share my experiences with Transcend and hoping others would share theirs (good or bad) as well as to "vent," as I felt I was facing this situation a ...

I know how to use followup and follow up in most circumstances, and I thought I knew how to use it in all circumstances. However, what about in these instances: CHIEF COMPLAINT: Followup/follow up. CHIEF COMPLAINT: Followup/follow up of left knee pain. I was 100% confident in myself, but QA has given mixed feedback... ...

The patient is here for a 3-month and 1-week followup visit. I'm scratching my head here. How to punctuate that? A 3-month-and-1-week followup visit? Seems like way too many hyphens to me.... ...

Was just wondering if you seasoned MT's think 5 weeks on a new job is a fair chance for a fairly new MT? New platform to be learned, and the dictations were from a big pool with a lot of different doctors, though not many ESL's, and QA was pretty picky. Any opinions on this? ...
