Does anyone remember the name of the MQ employee - killed in 9/11
Posted: Apr 16, 2013
Boston bombings made me think of her. If I remember right, the only place I learned that she was a MedQuist employee was on MT Stars. MQ didn't bother to put out an e-mail about her, jckas company that they are. Just curious...
Her first name was Lori or Laurie - the glass has gone dark
[ In Reply To ..]Lori or Laurie is all I can remember right now.
I found it - Laurie Ann Neira - RIP
[ In Reply To ..]She was on flight 11
Thank you - RIP Laurie

employee who died 9/11 - ea
[ In Reply To ..]My manager back then sent an email telling us about the MQ employee who died on 9/11 and how it happened. She was on vacation with her daughter and her daughter took an offer of an earlier flight home to Massachusetts, the MQ employee decided to wait for the regularly scheduled flight, which was the doomed flight.
Not that it makes a difference but . . . - anony
[ In Reply To ..]I remember it being the mother taking the earlier flight and the daughter staying behind. They were returning to California to my recollection.
It is all in the past and the details are a distant memory.
It is tragic that her death occurred and how life has forever changed since that fateful day.
So sad. BTW, neither story is true. - anon
[ In Reply To ..]According to her mother's memorial page, her daughter said they had pre-booked flights to and from Boston on different airlines. They traveled every year from California to visit her mom's family. So tragic.
You are incorrect . . . - anon
[ In Reply To ..]They put out several e-mails regarding her death and expressing their sympathy.
Maybe in your region - We didnt get a thing
[ In Reply To ..]x
I think it was technically still Your Office Genie - at that time
[ In Reply To ..]It was right around the time that YOG got bought by MQ because it was just shortly after I started with YOG
Yes - anon
[ In Reply To ..]I think you are correct.
MQ/YOG - see msg
[ In Reply To ..]I started with MQ in January of 2000. Just before that, it was Transcriptions, Ltd, something like that. YOG must have been before it was Transcriptions, Ltd?
MQ bought YOG - see inside
[ In Reply To ..]I started with YOG in December 1999, and sometime around 9/11 we were going through the transition. YOG was a great place to work.
You are right - anom
[ In Reply To ..]I started in 1997. I bet she was glad she got out when she did with the steady decline we have been experiencing.
Then when was it T'cription Ltd? - nm

Statutory Employee Vs. Traditional Employee Status Inquiry
Oct 10, 2013
I'm seeing more and more job postings for statutory employee status.

For example if the traditional employee line rate is 8 cpl for transcription what would I need to request for statutory status? The same or more? ...

Remember When
Apr 23, 2010
Remember when – you were proud to be an MT – proud of the work you did and the physicians said thank you when you did a good job? How about the bumper sticker years ago from AHDI (AAMT) that they handed out at one of the conferences that read – MDs need MTs. After 35 years in this profession, I call it quits. All of us really just need a "thank you" from time to time to feel appreciated. I have worked at ho ...

Remember when we used to get that newsletter in the mail? I found some today as I was packing my stuff. Remember when they used to pat us on the back now and then? (usually right before they made a change that was a major hassle, though--and NEVER a pay increase, absolutely unheard of) Now they just hang us out to dry and we have to fend for ourselves. Wonder if they even notice we are dropping like flies. We never hear anything from management unless it's that they are i ...

Remember when you could type what he meant to say and not what he actually said. Remember them appreciating that? Remember no BOS or auditing scores? Remember always having an abdundance of work and feeling very comfortable about it because you made great pay? Remembe ...
Remember When QA Used To Just
Sep 18, 2010
catch errors, highlight them, and send them to you with a score? No comments, no ridicule, no 'teaching, preching, and/or belittling.' I mean, QA used to just point out the errors once a quarterly run, and be there as a backup on blanks or questions because supposedly they are just that good at it. When were they told to scold? Why would they think a humiliation approach works? ...

You know the weird thing is that even after just 3 years, I cannot even remember the name of the last 2 companies I worked for - I was an independent contractor for the first 15 years and had my own accounts. That's pretty sad when you can't even remember a past employer (or maybe it isn't because you've blocked them from your memory because of the poor pay and constant outsourcing and waiting for them to find you more work). Now that I do remember. If anyone knows who I w ...

You actually looked forward to getting the PA instead of the doctor because they were so much easier to hear, understand, etc., except for the fact that most of them have no clue when it comes to pronouncing medications and feel that it is above them to spell the medication out. In my case it seems that the roles have flipped nowadays, I absolutely hate seeing the PA coming up and would rather do the doctor any day of the week!! ...

Fresh out of a local vocational school for MT back in 1993, I met with an established local MT, who allowed me to do a little of her work (with pay) to see how I would do because she wanted someone to take over on Fridays so she could have that day off. Within a few months, she partnered with another transcriptionist in town for a separate account and gave me all the work from group that she was doing! It was 5 docs and 2 NPs. I did the work at her house on her computer. ...

I finally quit and will never do MT work again because after going to VR, I sat here for 11 hours on average each day either waiting for work or doing very little work and my last check for an entire month was $240. After 17 years of this work and working for a company that I loved until they sold out ...
